Cause and Effect

The sound that came out of Nadia was a mix between a harsh moan of pain and pleasure. He dropped his one hand and was fast to slide it up her thigh to her backside and lifted her up. His fingertips pressing into the soft flesh. The first pull of his mouth on her neck nearly made her come undone right there.

Holy shit this was potent, and her body nearly melted right into his. She didn't remember hooking her leg around him but she did and he pulled her tighter against him. There was practically no space between them and his hips ground hard into hers. Barely a few seconds and it felt like everything from a moment before just washed out of her. Just that primal recognition that made her sigh. The reality of what bonding and pairing was in his world crashed over her but was washed out on the tide with her anger for the moment.

"Xyle," The soft plea in her voice nearly had him lose it right there. It was hard to tell if it was to continue or stop. Her voice was so sweet and laced with the pleasure she was feeling. Xyle did not hold back, he poured everything into that bite. Normally people bitten by a vampire might feel pleasure, a mate would feel so much more and he made sure that she did.

She was the sweetest thing he'd ever tasted. The coppery tang of her blood was mixed with all the things that made her. It was going to be an addiction to him, he was feeling the same high that she was. The only thing that would feel better would be having her as he did this. To feel her own teeth sink into his skin, the thought was incredibly erotic to him. His hand dug hard into her backside and his other was braced on the wall. Claws tearing into the cement slightly.

Her clipped cry nearly echoed in the space this time as she came. The taste of that endorphin rush, the taste of her desire was like no drug he'd ever had. It hit him hard and that was it for his own body. That tight knot threatening low in his stomach just let go into the sweetest throb of pleasure. He groaned against her throat with the sensation that went through him at it.

Nadia never in her life thought any kind of touch or lust could be so damn intense. She felt the sweep of his tongue up her neck. The pain of it out-weighed by the pleasure, and in her own head this was beyond anything described or written. She felt mindless for a moment feeling all the things he poured into that first bite. They were clearly going to be combustible like a match to dry kindling in all things.

Nadia gave a slight gasp at how he pulled her from the wall. Holding her up against him, legs around his hips. God damn the man was strong and it just turned her on more if that was possible. She was still lost in the haze and forgetting that she needed to be angry at him. This felt so much better, she felt a slight gasp feeling cool metal hit her back. That made a bit of clarity come to her though. They were in the middle of a freaking parking garage! Late or not, did he have no scruples? However his mouth came down on hers demanding entrance. Hers gave to his already having been partially open to speak.

Xyle bit into the inside of his cheek hard enough for blood to well up and then kissed her. Enough for an exchange, enough that it would pull their bond tighter. He couldn't help himself and slid a hand up her inner thigh this time. Her one hand snapped up bracing against his shoulder as his fingers grazed the thin lace of her thong and smooth skin.

A dark sound kind of vibrated in this throat feeling how obviously aroused she was. He didn't hesitate to slide his fingers into her slick heat. Fuck, she was so very ready and wanting. His little mate could not lie about her wants and desires, not while he felt just how wet her body was. He could so easily imagine what it was going to feel like to have her. To sink into her and get lost in her silken heat. He pulled his fingers from her slow rubbing slightly and felt how her legs tightened just a bit on his sides. Xyle lifted his head enough that his mouth was just barely touching hers.

"Next time I'm going to make sure I'm buried as deep as I can get in you Nadia. Then sink my teeth in as I let go inside you." He harshly kissed her before she could speak. Honestly he didn't know if he could wait at all. He'd never wanted a female as much as he wanted Nadia and it was not just this physical. He saw the person she was, it was just getting her to the same point he was at.

Nadia turned her head from him and just needed to breathe. He was the most intense person she'd ever met. She wanted to hold that anger at all of this that had been forced on her. Yet the feeling right now was so easy to just give into. Would it feel like this every time he touched her? His words made her body clench and think about what it would feel like to have him do just that. He was pressed to her and he sure didn't feel like he was lacking. It excited her, even as she felt lost for a moment as her head cleared.

"This is real Nadia, if we let our bond life. If you want to deny it we will feel the reverse just as intensely." He fought not to growl at her. They had met, they were realized now. She was still breathing a bit faster, his own didn't feel calm. He did let his gaze sweep down her though leaning a back a bit. The dress was high around her hips, the rest a snug fit to her body and he wanted to just tear the thin material and look at all of her. To touch and memorize every dip and curve of his mate.

"Let me up." She did not want to do this here in a parking garage. Plus she needed to think. This was crazy intense, and now she didn't know what to think. Obviously it was real. She was just a storm and mix of thoughts on how this could happen to her. If she just let it, was that really right? Was someone controlling all these things and it wasn't her? Nadia just couldn't stop thinking it. Her world was full of choice before, unlike his. He seemed to be far better at accepting than she was. This should not have happened, she needed to keep her guard up. What was wrong with her? She folded faster than a lawn chair in her opinion.

Xyle felt her starting to kind of tense and revert a bit. He clenched his jaw and stood but pulled her with. He made her look up at him so he could search her gaze. You know what her problem was? She thought too much, she needed to just let some of it go. Yeah he was holding anger at his original author. However he could not live hating if there was another one. Besides if there was he was sure as shit liking this one better. He wasn't being attacked around every corner or watching those he cared about hurt. This was emotional turmoil, but still not as severe as others he'd been given.

"This is us Nadia. Be angry at me if you want, but it's not going to stop me from trying." She stared at him and she turned from him. She felt this harsher blush on her face, holy god what did she just let him do to her? She touched her neck as she grabbed her items that had been dropped. Once more she could feel his gaze on her like a touch. She fought the urge to hold her skirt down whether it was showing anything or not. Not that it mattered now with the way he touched her. Damn this man and this mate bond thing! Throwing her life all out of whack.

"Yes, well, try without using your teeth." She grumbled and man did her face burn a bit more. She swallowed and stood up unlocking her door. She heard an amused sound from him, there was an odd lightness to his green eyes just then. Truth be told she wanted to feel that again. That was a first for her, feeling that kind of pleasure in the moment with someone. Still she was leery of the manipulation. Though it had felt like he was in the same kind of thrall as her, so it wasn't exactly the same right? She scolded herself for rationalizing it.

"Then you need to let me try." He countered crossing his arms and eyeing her. He was going to do it again. Though he did want her cooperation for the next one. The next time he exchanged with her would be the completion of their bond. Which was going to be a hell of a lot more intimate than this if he had anything to say about it. He could still scent her desire, her natural lilac mixed with woman and his body wanted to immediately react. He was sure he just dug himself another torturous hole.

"Are you going to let me in the car or make me run back?" Xyle asked as she stood there staring at him. She looked rather thoughtful and he wasn't sure if it was good or bad. He wished dearly that he could hear her thoughts, or at least have the mental bridge. Until that second exchange they would not have the sense of the other that way. If he didn't have to wait for this first exchange to settle between them he'd have already done it again. What could he say? He had it bad.

"Can you behave yourself? I really should just leave you standing here for what you did. Making me feel so very manipulated." Nadia said dryly and could not tell you why she felt her anger melt away some. Maybe she was letting that deeper part that was aware of him, and the truth he spoke in. She was trying to decide how worth it really was it to keep this distance. How miserable were they both going to be? She didn't have to completely forgive…

"Define behave." He said and then flashed her a rather bright smile. The point of his canine was prominent and she felt this throb in her neck. Shit, he was going to get around her guard wasn't he? She did not smile back, nor allow his charming smile to disarm her any. He just accosted her in this god damn parking garage. She should smack him across the face again. Not to mention dinner, though secretly she was kind of glad to not have gone for drinks.

"Hands to yourself Xyle. If I didn't already know you can run faster than my car I'd leave you here. Behave or I will shove you out of the car at top speed." She unlocked the rest of the doors. He was going to follow her no matter what. Better to have him where she could watch him and what he was doing. At least that was what she told herself. He had a smile as he turned and moved toward the passenger seat.

"All that fire you have, I find it so very appealing." He could not wait to have all that fire turned in the right direction.

"Of course you do." She grumbled at him watching him over the car. Xyle decided to try and disarm her one more time. He felt that even if she still had a wall up, it wasn't as strong as a short bit ago. She did seem quick to release her anger, but she was a grudge holder it seemed.

"You know you could look at it more on the positive side Nadia." He turned looking at her over the top of the car. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"Yeah? What's positive about it?" He gave her a slight smirk.

"It would appear to me, that you and I will have incredibly satisfying make up sex." She clearly did not expect that to be what he said. She gave a slight kind of delicate rush of air that he knew was a shocked and amused sound. She obviously tried to stop it, but he also saw the barest twitch of a smile. Ah, so she did have a sense of humor. He bet a real smile would light up her face and he wanted to be a reason for it to happen he found.

"Saw that." He commented pointing and had a broader smile himself and pulled open the door to get in her car. Nadia stood there for a moment longer after he ducked and sat in the car. She told herself to be angry, still she did give a slight smile and shook her head. Whatever Xyle, keep dreaming. The man did not deserve her humor, she was still very irritated. Nadia put on a stoic face before she got into the car to drive home.
