Page 40 of Arresting the Warlord

“Who?”The word was a snarl.

“Relax. Eddie died in a car accident and most men aren’t interested in doing it with a cop and a shaman.”

“Keeps me from having to kill your lovers.”

“You’re not serious, are you?”

“Warlords are a possessive bunch. Hold on, buttercup.”

The shock of his powerful invasion made me cry out. I felt my inner walls stretching to accommodate him.“Ouch. That hurts. You have to stop.”My body arched as sensitive spots were suddenly stroked and kissed.“Oh. Wow. Hooboy. Never mind. Don’t stop.”Our lips meshed, nibbled, and tasted.

Jake thrust into me harder, deeper. I reveled in the sensation of his penis filling me. The frill of tentacles vibrated and pulsed, electrifying every nerve ending. My body caught fire. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t breathe. He was without mercy as the pulsating tentacles drove me over the edge, again and again.

Jake’s mind pushed hard into mine, imprinting on my soul, and branding me.“You’re mine. Forever. Say it.”

“Yours. Forever.”His mouth was hot and dominant. Wave after wave of rapture shot though me and I screamed, “And you belong to me, warlord.”

“Forever and always.” Jake’s big body convulsed violently. A low, guttural groan broke from him and something hot spilled into me.

“Crap!” I smacked his chest. “So help me God, if you get me pregnant, I’ll neuter you.”

“You don’t want children?”

“I do. Down the road. Not now.”

“Relax. My semen is converting you, not impregnating you.”

“Oh yay, I’ve always wanted fangs.” I sagged against the bed as tremors of bliss continued to rock me.

Jake kissed me gently. “I will do whatever it takes to protect you.”

“I don’t need protection.”

“Yeah, you do. Cantor wants you dead. Females with your abilities are highly sought after not only by Coletti warriors but other species.”

“What other species?”

“The Askole and Nal Rishi warriors are just a few who would eagerly steal you,” Jake explained.

“Let me get this straight. You’re converting me to keep me safe.”

“I am.”

“And the hot sex has nothing to do with it?”

“It’s a nice side benefit,” Jake answered.

“Un-huh.”

Elder Benally’s ghost appeared in the room.“If you’re mating ritual is completed, I have news of the Coyote.”

“Fuck!” I bolted upright and yanked wildly at the sheets.“I thought you had passed over.”

“Death only freed me. I am now able to see and do things that were once denied me.”

“Like being a peeping Tom?” I mumbled.

Jake calmly tapped my bracelet and within seconds black armor covered me.“You know where Cantor is?”
