Warrior's Mate Read Online Free PDF Page A

solid muscle,
and impossible to fight. Still, she tried to kick, to wiggle her body out of
his grasp.
    “Mine!”
    “Oh, hell no!” she countered immediately.
    Shit, don’t piss of the fucking demon!
    He let out a low angry growl, and Jordan began praying
silently in her head. Even as she fought his hold, she noted that he wasn’t
hurting her. Although he held her tight, his embrace was gentle. She shifted in
his arms, then went still as she felt his steel-hard erection against her ass.
Fuck, the demon was getting turned on by her struggles. This was so not good.
Before she could think of some way to break free, she felt his hot breath on her
skin, then cried out as his fangs sank into her neck.
    Son of a bitch, he bit her!
    Oh, God! Was he a damn vampire or was he trying to eat
her?
    It felt like they stayed suspended in the air for
hours, but she knew only seconds had passed. Heat burst from neck, moving
through the rest of her system until she felt like her entire body was on fire.
When he pulled his fangs out of her neck, she felt the rough slide of his
tongue across her skin.
    It made her shiver.
    “You are mine now,” he whispered into her ear.
    She tried to head-butt him in response.
    He let out a triumphant laugh as he shifted his hold
on her, picking her up so she was cradled in his arms, and took them higher
into the air. His chest was rock hard, like skin stretched over solid steel. Jordan
stopped fighting him, not wanting him to drop her.
    “Warrior’s claim!”
    Jordan’s ears rang from his loud bellow, but it was nothing
compared to the wild response of the crowd below them. The shouts and roars
coming from the arena were deafening. The demon holding her flapped his great
wings, propelling them through the air, and she closed her eyes in defense as
her stomach rolled.
    “Relax, human. You’re safe with me.”
    “Safe? You fucking bit me,” she bitched. “Now, I’m
going to plunge to my death from a hundred feet in the air, and you’re telling
me to relax? Not likely.”
    “I won’t let you fall. You insult me by thinking I
would.”
    “Oh, well, I wouldn’t want to do that,” she muttered,
keeping her eyes shut tight.
    He chuckled, then his hard chest vibrated as he let
out a soft purring sound. Jordan was shocked when she felt calmed by the deep
rumble.
    “What is your name, little one?”
    She took her time answering him. “Jordan.”
    “Jordan.” He purred her damn name, and his arms
tightened possessively around her. She felt the rush of cool air on her skin as
he flew them higher. She’d always hated flying, but risked opening her eyes to
see where he was taking her. Her fear was forgotten as he flew them toward a
large, gray, stone castle unlike anything she’d ever seen before.
    Her stomach gave another little flip as he flew toward
a balcony on the highest square tower. When he landed, he let her slide down
his body so her feet were once again touching the ground. As soon as he did, she
tried to push away from him, and was surprised when he released her. Because of
his strength, she wouldn’t have been able to get away from him if he didn’t
allow it, and knowing that pissed her off.
    She quickly backed away from him. Taking a quick
glance around the room, she saw he had taken them to his bedroom. All the
furniture in the room was made of the same deep sapphire wood that the walls of
her prison had been built with, including a bed that was as large as a lake. It
was covered with an iridescent blue and purple fabric that made her want to
reach out and touch it to see if it was real.
    Her gaze skittered away from the bed when he took a
step closer, then her eyes widened as his wings retracted into his back, and
the onyx color of his body once again changed to dark stripes on his golden
skin. When his eyes shifted from red back to a dark amber color, he was just a
warrior again. A huge, hard-bodied, sinfully sexy warrior, with an enormous
erection that seemed to be doing its
