The Angelus Brothers Chronicles - The Golden Hind

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Gabriel sat up with a start and looked down at Kaia as her eyes flickered open and she gazed up at him.

"What's wrong?" She asked sleepily.

"You have two heartbeats." Frowning and Rubbing her still sleepy eyes she opened her mouth and closed it again.

"What?"

"You have two heartbeats. Your regular one and one quicker and much fainter one." Maybe it was the fact she was still half asleep but what he was saying just wasn't making sense to her.

"You can hear my heartbeat?"

"I'm a vampire, my love. I can always hear your heartbeat."

"Really?"

"Yes." He smiled down at her. "Many times the sound of it has soothed me to sleep." She smiled at his sweet words, then frowned again.

"Two heartbeats?" She gasped. "You can hear our baby." He beamed at her and smiled.

"Yes, my love. I can hear her tiny little heartbeat." Kaia placed a hand on her belly and smiled up at him.

"That somehow makes her or him more real." His hand joined hers as he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Kaia, I want to ask you something."

"You want to mark me." She replied. It was his turn to be confused.

"How did you know I was going to ask?"

"Rouge told me about her mark, told me a vampire uses it to be connected to his mate. He feels when she's scared or hurt and can find her through that connection."

"But... but how did you know that's what I was about to ask?"

"You've had your thinking face on for days and you keep eyeing my neck." He shook his head.

"My clever little bride." She reached up and pulled him down for a kiss.
"I also saw you hide your silver dust in your bedside table. Get it and make love to me Gabriel."

He stared at her for a moment feeling so overwhelmed by the love he felt for the woman lying in his arms. He kissed her gently, breathing in her warm scent.

"Are you sure?" His voice came out in a hoarse whisper.

"Yes." She whispered back. He reached into his drawer and pulled out the small bottle of silver dust without even having to look. He'd checked on it so many times since placing it in the drawer he knew exactly where it was.

"How do you want to do this?" He looked awkward and u sure. Not a look she was used to on her usually collected Gabriel.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you want me to.. just bite you. Or while we're making love?" Kaia smiled up at him as her hand moved down to stroke his cock. He grinned at her as he reached down between her legs and fondled her folds until she was slick with desire for him. Holding himself over her he slid himself deep into her body and growled at the feeling as she gasped and gripped his shoulder with her hands.

"Mmm." She purred at him as he started to rhythmically thrust in and out of her. Dipping his head low he kissed her neck then licked the spot where he could feel her pulse.

"I love you, Kaia." Before she could respond he sunk his teeth into her flesh. She gasped and for a moment every muscle in her body tensed before she relaxed and let out a low long moan.

Gabriel stopped thrusting, something was wrong, her blood tasted like the sweetest nectar but it burned his tongue and throat. Kaia whimpered and moaned trying to rub herself against him and get him to move but he stayed motionless then releasing her throat he gasped for air and ran to their adjoining bathroom.
