Miguel chuckled and turned to her as he wrapped an arm around my waist. “Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he said. “I know man parts make you queasy.”
My muscles spasmed and I growled low in my throat when he called her sweetheart. I instinctively moved my body in front of his and bared my teeth at this new, albeit petite, threat.
“Oh, for Christ’s sake!” Katherine shouted as she threw her arms in the air. “You”—she pointed at me—“stand down. Your man’s right. I’m a girl’s girl, if you know what I mean.” She moved her finger up so it pointed at Miguel. “And you,” she said. “I’m a professional. You’ve seen me heal dozens of men over the years, yourself included. Just because I don’t lust after yourman parts, as you so charmingly call them, doesn’t mean I find them offensive. I just wasn’t interested in a live sex show starring my uncle.”
I snapped my head to the side and looked up at Miguel in surprise. “You’re her uncle?” I said. “But I thought you told me you only had a nephew and he….” I let the sentence trail off, not wanting to speak of his kin’s death.
“You’re right,” Miguel said. “Katie is using the term ‘uncle’ as a sign of respect.”
“I would’ve described it more like using the term loosely,” she corrected him with a wink and then she looked at me. “Miguel’s nephew had a daughter, and she was….” She paused and swallowed thickly, her eyes suddenly looking a tad wet. “Sheila was my great love.” Katherine closed her eyes and shook her head, causing her blonde locks to move to and fro. When she opened her eyes, they were dry and she seemed happy once again. “Sheila called this big lug Uncle Miguel, so that’s how I’ve always known him.”
My heart ached for her loss. I eased myself back against my mate, needing to feel his presence. He immediately circled both arms around me and held me close.
“What happened to Sheila?” I asked and then clamped my mouth shut, wondering if I was poking around where I had no business being.
“We came across a few men who had trouble understanding the meaning of the word no,” Katherine said, anger flashing in her eyes. “We didn’t go down without a fight. Especially Sheila. She was magnificent. But they were bigger than us, stronger. And there were three of them.” She took in a deep breath and shrugged. “They didn’t get what they wanted in the end anyway, just left us for dead. That’s when Miguel got there. It was too late for Sheila, but he was able to save me.”
Small as she was, with that blonde hair and those baby blue eyes, Katherine could have passed for an angel. That was, unless you heard her cuss like a sailor. “And then he made sure those pieces of shit never fucked with another woman again.” She looked at me with a wicked gleam in her eyes. “I was still healing from what they did to me and from being turned, but Uncle Miguel let me watch.” She sneered. “In the end, those big, strong men begged for their mamas and the Lord and anybody who’d listen. They offered to give me anything if I’d only just make him stop.” She paused and almost took my breath away with the intensity of her stare. “And do you know what I told them?” she asked.
I gulped. “What?”
“I told them I wanted my Sheila back. And unless they could give me that, I was going to enjoy the show for as long as it lasted.”
Chapter 21
“UH, MIGUEL,”I whispered when Katherine had left the room to gather her medical supplies.
I was sitting on the mattress cross-legged, and he was unbuttoning the shirt he’d just put on because his niece insisted that she had to coat his wounds in a special salve she’d made. He’d already dropped his drawers.
“Yeah?”
“Your, ah, niece is a little, um, intense, isn’t she?”
He chuckled. “Katie is scary as fuck and smart as a whip. Nobody messes with my girl.”
“Your girl?” I asked in a broken voice.
My mate’s warm brown eyes settled on me and he tilted his mouth up in a crooked grin. “Oh, come on, now. You know what I mean.” He squatted down in front of me, his shirt hanging open, exposing his muscular chest, and took my hands in his, then rested them on his thigh next to his thick, mouthwatering shaft. “Katie grew up next door to my nephew. I’ve known her since she was knee-high. And she was the first person I turned, making her one of only two, with Ted being the other.” He shrugged. “She’s my girl. But, Ethan.” He looked deep into my eyes. “What I feel for her after several hundred years can’t touch what I feel for you after a couple of weeks. I know you have one hell of a jealous and possessive streak in you.” He paused and grinned. “And truth be told, I like it. But, baby, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to my loyalty and affection. I amallyours.”
“Show me,” I said, my voice husky and gritty, barely like my own.
He reached for my shorts in a flash, tugged the button open, pulled the zipper down, and fished my rapidly expanding flesh out. Then he rolled onto his back on the floor and took me with him. He spread his legs so I could settle between them and kept my hard prick in his hand, stroking it with the same desperation I felt.
“Can you reach the cream?” he asked.
I moaned and closed my eyes as I humped his hand.
“Ethan, baby.” Miguel stretched his mouth up and nipped at my throat. “Your dick is the same size as your arm. Get the cream. It’s right behind you, next to the bag.”
The feeling of his long fingers around me was incredible, and all I could think about was his warm touch making me feel so good, so right.
“Damn, baby, come on, now.” He planted his feet on the floor and canted his hips up. Then he moved his hand, and my shaft with it, until my crown touched his pucker.
“Ah!” I cried out in need, wanting to get inside that tight hole more than I’d ever wanted anything.
“There we go,” he said with a chuckle. “Now that I have your attention, reach over there and get the cream.”
I twisted my still clothed body and stretched over to the pile of items on the floor, feverishly pushing everything aside until I had the container of cream in my grasp. I knelt between my mate’s knees and worked off the lid with shaking hands before scooping a generous portion onto my fingers and then reaching for the nude body in front of me.
