Miles’s Redemption

Chapter 5

Kareena was ready for her date with Miles at exactly six o’clock. After she’d taken a shower and changed her clothes, she’d gone to the grocery store to pick up some snack food and drinks. Not sure what Miles liked, she bought a six-pack of beer along with a bottle of white wine. She’d then spent the rest of the afternoon making the snacks so she wouldn’t have to fuss around too much in the kitchen while Miles was there.

Once Miles buzzed up to apartment, Kareena told him she’d meet him at the lobby door through the intercom. She locked up and took the elevator down to the front entrance. Her gaze landed on Miles who waited in the vestibule for her. Even though it had only been half a day since she’d last seen him, he still took her breath away. She missed him. He hadn’t strayed very far from her thoughts. She’d caught herself daydreaming about him while she’d been busy in the kitchen. Kareena was lucky she hadn’t sliced off a finger.

She walked over to the door to the vestibule and stepped through it. Miles swept her up in his arms and gave her a kiss that had Kareena practically moaning. It felt too good to be pressed against his hard body.

“We should go,” Miles said, his voice a bit on the husky side. “Have you decided what you want to see?”

Kareena linked her fingers with his when Miles took her hand. They walked out of the building and headed for the visitor parking. “Well, there is one I wanted to watch, but I doubt you’d be interested in it. It’s a vampire movie that’s more along the line of a young adult romance. I won’t force you to sit through it.”

“If that is what you really want to see, I don’t mind.” He helped her into the car.

Once he was behind the steering wheel, he said, “So you’re into vampires, or are you just into romances?”

“I’d have to say I’m into both. Actually, I’ve been hooked on reading paranormal romances for the last couple of years, especially ones about werewolves and vampires.”

Kareena’s face heated as she spoke. Her ex had liked to make fun of the genre she loved to read.

Miles started the car and turned his head to look at her before he backed out of the parking spot. “Werewolves, huh?”

“I know it’s stupid. My ex thought I was an idiot for reading them. One day I got angry and told him he needed to read one since he had no idea what real romance was.”

“I bet he didn’t take that too well,” Miles said with a laugh.

Kareena chuckled and shook her head. “No, not very. He then said my expectations were too high because of all the crap in the books. He also said I had a problem if I thought werewolves were sexy. His idea of a werewolf was of the one in horror movies.”

“Those movies give werewolves a bad rep.”

“You think that, huh?”

“Yes. Why can’t they be sexy? If a vampire can been seen that way—a being that has to drink human blood to stay alive—why can’t a werewolf?”

She smiled when Miles glanced her way. “Hmm, I might have to keep you around if you keep saying things like that.”

Miles reached across, placed his hand on her thigh, and gave it a squeeze. “Good, because I plan to be with you for as long as I can.”

A warm sensation washed through Kareena at Miles’s words. If she had anything to say about it, it would be a very, very long time. Now that she’d met him, she had to think her ex had done her a favor by dumping her. If he hadn’t, they might have already been married, maybe, and Kareena never would have met Miles. So for the first time since their breakup, she sent her ex a silent thank-you instead of calling him every vile name she knew.

At the movie theatre, Miles took her hand once again and guided her into the building. There were more than a few people already waiting in line, but it didn’t take very long before it was their turn. Miles paid for two tickets for the vampire movie she wanted to see then walked her over to the counter where the popcorn and pop were sold.

Since she had snacks back at her apartment, Kareena only ordered a soda. Miles did the same.

Inside the theatre where their movie would be showing, Miles guided Kareena up the stairs close to the back. They settled into seats in the middle of the row. There was still time before the show would start.

Miles took a sip of his drink before he placed it in the cup holder on the armrest. “I haven’t been to a theatre in years.”

“Since I started working as a nurse, I don’t have as much time for it either. When my friends and I were going to school, we used to come frequently. And that was before I started seeing my ex.”

“Then we’ll have to do this more often.”

With most of the seats taken, the lights dimmed and the trailers played on the large widescreen at the front of the room. There were a couple of movies Kareena wouldn’t mind seeing.

The movie started, and Miles put his arm along the back of her chair then around her shoulders. Kareena snuggled in as close as the armrest would allow. It had been a long time since she’d sat in the dark at the back of a movie theatre with a guy she liked. She might not be a teenager any longer, but the idea of making out with Miles seemed like a great idea.

Kareena got caught up in the movie but never forgot Miles sat next to her. With his arm still around her shoulders, he played with her hair, the tips of his fingers brushing against her cheek from time to time. And watching the romantic scenes play out on the screen, she wished she could snuggle closer to Miles.

At the end of the movie and as the credits played, Kareena turned her head to ask Miles if he’d enjoyed it. She didn’t manage to get the words out. His lips covered hers, his tongue pushing inside her mouth. He thoroughly tasted her, deepening the kiss. Her body melted with arousal.

He pulled back and rested his forehead against hers. “Let’s get out of here before I do something that’ll get us both arrested.”

She nodded. “That wouldn’t be too good, and it sure would put a damper on the date.”

Miles kissed the tip of her nose, then stood and held his hand out for her. She slipped hers in his, and he pulled her to her feet. Kareena looked around the theatre. The lights had come on as they’d kissed. There were only a few people who were sticking around to watch right through until the end of the credits. None were very close to where Miles and Kareena had sat. So she doubted they’d been seen. Not that she really cared if they had.

They headed out of the theatre and were soon in Miles’s car. He drove straight to her apartment. The closer they came the more Kareena couldn’t wait to get him behind closed doors. Her body was starved for sex, and after she’d gotten a taste of what it would be like with Miles, she craved more of his touch. She also wanted to explore parts of him she hadn’t gotten to see that morning.

Once they were inside her apartment, Kareena closed and locked the door behind them. “I have some snack food I can whip up pretty quick. Would you like something to eat and drink? I have beer and white wine in the fridge.”

“Later. There’s something else I’m hungry for.”

Kareena found herself wrapped in Miles’s arms with his lips claiming hers in a heated kiss. She dropped her purse onto the floor and placed her hands on his chest. She fisted his shirt as she tried to get closer, his mouth angling over hers for a deeper kiss.

Just like that, her body went up in flames, her pussy aching to be filled. This morning had been an appetizer. Now her body demanded the full course meal.

She kissed Miles hungrily, sucking on his tongue as she tunneled her fingers through his light blond hair. He groaned and pulled her tighter against him, his hard cock pressing against her belly. Wetness pooled between her legs at the thought of having it inside her.

She wanted him to take her over and over again until she couldn’t move.

Kareena made a sound of approval deep inside her throat when Miles picked her up and carried her in the direction of her bedroom. Just another thing she really liked about him—he could carry her around as if she weighed nothing. There was something to be said about having a muscular man for a lover.

Miles walked into her room and headed straight for the bed. He took her down to the mattress, not breaking contact with her mouth, and stretched out on top of her. His hips wedged between her legs. Kareena moaned at the feel of his erection coming to rest along her pussy. He rocked his hips, which sent a surge of pleasure straight through her.

His hands made short work of stripping her out of her top and bra. Kareena’s nipples grew taut as Miles stared down at her breasts. He cupped one and dragged his tongue over the tight peak before he sucked it into his mouth. She felt a hint of teeth as he drew on it hard, causing a corresponding pull deep inside her pussy.

So turned-on, Kareena could no longer stay still under Miles. She rubbed against his cock. He switched his attention to her other breast and cupped her bottom in both hands.

Miles lifted her slightly and ground his erection in just the right spot. If he kept it up, she’d come. She didn’t want that though. She wanted nothing between them when she reached orgasm.

Kareena pushed at Miles’s chest until he released her nipple and lifted slightly off her. He looked down at her with eyes only open to slits. “My turn to be on top,” she said in a husky voice. “You’re not the only one who gets to do some exploring.”

He wrapped an arm around her waist and rolled to his back, taking her with him. “Be my guest.” His voice was rough sounding. “I’m all yours.”

Yes, he was. And Kareena planned to keep it that way if she could. Now where she wanted to be, the first thing she did was lift Miles’s shirt up and off over his head.

Tossing it over the side of the bed, she once again admired his muscular chest and abs.

What she traced with her gaze, she did the same with her lips and tongue. His skin was smooth and warm beneath her touch. The scent of his cologne filled her nose.

She shifted so she straddled his thighs instead of his hips. As she nibbled on his well-

defined abs, Kareena worked on undoing Miles’s jeans. She’d been dying to get inside them to see just how large he was. Once she accomplished what she set out to do, she parted the material, springing his cock.

There was no underwear to come between it and her hand. His shaft jerked when she trailed her fingers up his full length and circled the head. Encountering a bead of precum at the slit, she rubbed it into his skin. Miles made a sound that suspiciously sounded like an animal-like growl.

Kareena looked up his body and saw he held himself stiff as if in anticipation of her next move. She teased Miles a little bit more by bending her head and swirling her tongue around the very tip of his cock. It jerked, and more precum leaked from it. She lapped it up, moaning at the taste of him.

“Kareena,” Miles said through gritted teeth. “I thought you wanted to explore, not arouse me to the point of insanity.”

“This is exploring. I’m finding out what you like.”

“I’d like it even more if you’d—” His words cut off in a sharp moan when Kareena opened her mouth and took his cock inside. She sucked him as far back as she could manage before sliding him almost all the way out. The flat of her tongue stroked the sensitive spot just under the flared head. Holding him at his base, she kept him in a tight grip and sucked him in and out. His erection hardened even more. The animal-like growls he’d made before continued to rumble out of him, louder and sounding more animalistic the longer she pleasured him.

She continued to take him in and out of her mouth as she reached between his legs and fondled his balls. Kareena gave them a small tug before she gently cupped them in her hand. Miles thrust his hips in time with her movements. Her juices leaked into her panties. He breathed in rapid growling pants, which aroused her even more. She was getting to him—bad.

It wasn’t too long before Miles ground out, “Enough.”

Once she pulled away from his cock, he rose to a sitting position and grabbed her.

He took her to her back, his lips leaving a searing trail wherever they touched as he worked on stripping her out of her jeans. Her panties were yanked down and off in a matter of seconds.

Miles was between her legs, spreading her open to his sight in the blink of an eye. He kissed up the inside of her thigh. When he reached her pussy, he gave it one lick before he continued down her other leg.

Kareena groaned. “Miles, what did you say about teasing?”

“Just a little payback.”

He continued to torture her with licks until she whimpered with need, and her hips lifted off the bed each time his mouth came in contact with her wet pussy. Miles finally relented and stroked her the way she wanted. He stiffened his tongue and plunged it into her opening the same way she needed his cock to move inside her. She was so close all it took to send her over the edge into release was for him to rub her clit with the tip of a finger. Kareena let out a keening moan, her climax tearing through her. Miles lapped at her pussy until the last tremor shook her.

Still breathing hard, she watched Miles shift to her side and push out of his jeans.

She thought for sure he’d settle back on top of her and sink his cock inside her. He didn’t.

Instead, he lay on his back. She ran her gaze over his body. His erection was thick and long.

“I want your lips wrapped around my cock when I come,” he said in a strained voice.

If that was what he wanted, she’d give it to him. They still had a lot of hours of the night left. Kareena straddled his thighs once more and fisted the base of his erection. She wasted no time taking him into her mouth. She sucked on him hard and felt her cheeks hollowing out.

“Don’t stop,” he panted. “I’m close.”

Unbelievably, his cock grew even harder and bigger. Her head bobbed as she took him in and out. He surged inside her mouth one final time, hips arching off the bed, his shaft pulsing with his climax. She took everything he had to give. Once it was over, she released him. He was still hard, as if he’d never come. He pulled her into his embrace with her stretched out on top of him. Her pussy was mere inches away from his cock, but he made no move to join their bodies. Kareena decided she’d let him catch his breath, and then she’d make sure they took it to the next level.

Miles was so close to having his control snap it wasn’t even funny. He felt Kareena’s moist heat against his skin, his dick so close to her pussy. His mating urge was worse than before they’d started. It had been bad enough with all the erotic dreams he’d had of her during the night while she’d slept in his bed. Coming had made it worse, as he’d known it would, but he hadn’t expected it to be this bad. His whole body shook with the strain of holding himself back. With the scent of his would-be mate’s arousal in the air and the taste of her juices on his tongue, it made it harder to remember why he couldn’t claim her as his.

But then Kareena shifted. Just the head of his cock entered her, causing his control to slip even more. He was barely hanging on by the skin of his teeth. It felt like torture lying there, not moving, when all he wanted to do was thrust up into her and bury his full length inside her pussy.

Miles put his hands on her hips to hold her still, to make sure she didn’t take any more of him. At this point, he could pull out before it was too late. At least he thought he had that kind of willpower. Kareena had ideas of her own though. She didn’t try to push down on him, but she rolled her pelvis in such a way that his eyes practically rolled back in his head. That move also was like a nuclear bomb exploding on top of his control.

Instead of stopping her with his grip on her hips, Miles put her right where he wanted and surged up, sheathing himself to the hilt inside her pussy with one stroke. The feel of her inner walls wrapping around his cock was pure bliss. Already too late to prevent what was about to happen, he lifted her up and then pushed her down on his shaft.

Kareena placed her hands on his chest and rode him, her pussy squeezing him. She did that roll with her pelvis again, and the top of his head just about blew off. He set a faster pace, lifting his hips to meet hers. She took him in longer strokes, grinding her clit against his pelvic bone with each downward one.

Just as his balls drew closer to his body and the point of no return edged ever nearer, Miles felt a piece of his soul brush up against Kareena’s. She gasped then moaned in pleasure as the two pieces became one. The mating bond formed and snapped into place between them. Miles let out a growl. She was his now. Nothing would change that, and there was no going back.

Kareena let out a keening moan as she threw back her head. Her pussy convulsed around his cock, milking him to his own orgasm. He filled her with his cum, the pleasure going on and on. She collapsed on top of him, breathing as if she’d just run a great distance, and he did the same. His cock, still hard, remained buried deep inside her.

Miles held her close until their hearts no longer raced. He’d broken Jaden’s rule, but he didn’t know how she expected any male in the throes of the mating urge to be able to restrain himself enough to follow it. The instinct to claim a mate was just too strong.

Since Jaden was a werewolf, her mate hadn’t had to go through it. Leif would have gotten one sniff of her scent, known what she was to him, and would have made her his shortly thereafter. Christ, Miles had barely lasted twenty-four hours. He couldn’t have seen him being able to hold out for days.

Kareena stirred on top of him and lifted her head to look at him. “Ah, Miles, you’re still hard.”

He grinned. “I know.”

“I don’t mean to put a downer on things, but I’m a little concerned.”

His brows drew together. “About what?”

“About you staying erect for so long. It isn’t normal. And the ER nurse in me thinks you should have a doctor check you out in case there is something wrong.”

He kissed her and smiled. “Let me assure you there is nothing wrong with me.”

“All right. Then did you take one of those pills that give a man an erection?”

Now he felt slightly affronted. “Hell no. I don’t need anything like that. This is all me.” He pushed up into Kareena for an added effect.

It did nothing to wipe the concern off her face. “Okay, you didn’t take anything. But you have to know if an erection lasts too long it can cause capillaries to burst in your penis, which can cause permanent damage.”

This was the first time Miles had a woman so concerned about how long he could keep an erection. The few mortal women he’d slept with in the past couldn’t have cared less why it happened. They’d just liked that he could keep going even after coming several times.

It did make him feel good that his mate cared enough to feel worried. But right at this moment, he didn’t want to tell Kareena the truth about him being a werewolf and that staying hard was normal for the males of his kind. Now that they were mated, he saw no reason to hold back. He still wanted her.

Miles lifted Kareena off him and settled her on the bed on her side next to him. He shifted behind her and sank his cock back inside her pussy. He palmed a breast, tugging the nipple, and stroked in and out of her.

“I’ll show you that I will soften. It’s just going to take some time.”

He then proceeded to show Kareena just how long a male werewolf could pleasure his mate without needing time to recover in between.
