Without Regret (Pyte/Sentinel 2)

Actually, now that he thought about it, he’d be doing his son a favor by giving him five more minutes alone with his mate. It would be good for Chris to get to know his mate, he decided, basing that of course on fatherly concern and not on the way that Madison was moaning against his mouth, or the sweet smell that was telling him that she was wet and ready for him.

“Alright, you can have five minutes,” he said, sighing heavily as if what she wanted from him somehow pained him. It did, but in a good way. Madison broke away from the kiss, giving him one of those sexy coy smiles that she knew drove him crazy “That’s very generous of you,” Madison said with a knowing look. The woman could smell how turned on he was and was going to use it to bring him to his knees and make him beg and he was going to love every f**king minute of it.

“I don’t have much time, baby,” he reminded her, fighting the urge to throw her against the wall and f**k her hard. If she wasn’t carrying his babies and was a tad unpredictable because of her hormones he’d be doing just that, but he knew she needed to run the show right now. So he fought back the urge to take over, knowing it just might kill him to keep his hands off her.

“Tonight’s a full moon,” Madison said conversationally as she slowly lowered the thin straps of the white floral summer dress she’d changed into earlier.

“Yes,” he agreed tightly as his eyes devoured a strapless baby blue lace bra that showed more than it concealed.

He licked his lips as his eyes focused on the large butterscotch ni**les poking against the lacey material and knew he could make her come just by sucking on them.

“It’s going to be a very long night,” she mused, sliding the dress down and taking the matching panties that he got a glimpse of down with the dress leaving her bare, except for the bra, which had him panting.

She leaned into him, pressing her large firm br**sts against him as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

He placed his hands on her bare h*ps and nearly groaned as he slid his hands down to cup her warm bottom and pull her more snugly against him.

“Did you hear what I said, Ephraim?” she asked, drawing his attention, but stealing it again by rubbing herself against his erection.

All the air in his lungs rushed out of his body as she ground herself against him with just the right amount of pressure. Long before he’d met Madison he’d f**ked a lot of women who knew how to play the game to get what they wanted, but not one of them could hold a candle to his incredibly beautiful sexy wife.

Even after ten years he couldn’t believe how incredibly fortunate he was to have found her. She was the love of his life, his best friend, his conscious, his soul mate and the most wonderful mother any child could be blessed to have and he couldn’t imagine living an eternity without her.

“I think it would be dangerous to give you release,”

Madison said, grabbing his attention.

“Oh?” he asked, barely registering her words as she continued to rub herself against him as her fingers toyed with his hair.

“Mmmhmm,” she said, slightly rocking her h*ps against him as if she couldn’t help herself. “Well, with it being a full moon and all and Chris’ mate being untrained I was thinking that you should probably keep your edge tonight,” she suggested, her voice hoarse with her struggle not to moan.

“I see,” he mumbled, looking down at Madison’s beautiful caramel eyes just as they turned a fiery red.

His eyes moved to her mouth to find her fangs dropped, damn near bringing him to his knees. As much as he loved making love to her while looking into her beautiful caramel eyes he absolutely craved watching her lose control.

“Then what do you suggest I do to keep my edge?” he asked, smiling as he leaned down to press a soft kiss to her lips.

“I think,” Madison started to say only to pause long enough to brush her lips against his before pulling back slightly, “that you should make sure I scream your name at least twice before you leave,” she said, sounding a little breathless.

“But…..,” he prompted, already having an idea where this was going and not liking it one bit.

“But,” she said, abandoning his aching erection and sliding her hand up his chest, only stopping when she reached his shoulder, “you’re going to have to leave here aching, baby, so that you’re at the top of your game tonight. I need you to help keep an eye on Isabella for Chris tonight,” she said, lightly gripping his shoulders.

“I already planned on watching her,” he said, leaning down to press a tender kiss against her mouth. He loved this woman so goddamned much. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her and she knew it.

“Yes, but this way you’ll be on edge and I won’t have to worry about her getting hurt,” Madison said against his lips.

Ephraim pulled back to look into her once again beautiful caramel eyes and sighed. “You’re really worried, aren’t you?”

She worried her bottom lip between her dull human teeth before giving him a reluctant nod. “I know she’s a Sentinel and I know from watching Chris when he first started that all of them are supposed to have natural ability, but….,” she trailed off with a lazy shrug.

“But, what, baby?” he asked, pulling her closer to offer her comfort. He hated seeing her upset. Knowing his wife was unhappy in any way hurt him more than anything Nichols ever did in that f**king dungeon.

He’d do anything to make sure that she never experienced another moment of unhappiness.

“But she’s so small,” she said quietly, earning a chuckle from him.

“Ah, sweetheart,” Ephraim said, smiling as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “She may be small, but you need to remember she’s been given everything she needs to do her job. In her case the harmless package might actually come in handy.”

“Because they’ll underestimate her,” Madison said, sounding thoughtful.

“Exactly.”

“Her training starts tonight?” she asked, absently rubbing his shoulders.

“Yes and if we run into any problems her skills should be jump started within the first few minutes,” Ephraim promised with a kiss to the tip of Madison’s cute little nose.

“Wasn’t she attacked this morning?” Madison pointed out. “Why didn’t her skills kick in then?”

Ephraim had wondered the same thing and made it a point to catch a moment alone with Eric when he was outside heading for his car. After one look at his new daughter-in-law and hearing Eric’s vague account of what happened this morning he’d been a little weary about trusting the small woman’s ability to watch his son’s back.
