Hells Gate: Santino by Crymsyn Hart Read Free Book Online Page A

breaths to slow her climax, but it wasn’t working. Her muscles clenched. The pinky toe of her right foot was already so cramped that she knew she was close.
    April clutched her lover’s shoulder, digging her nails into the meat of it. She kissed along his neck and bit into his flesh. She loved his taste and nipped his collarbone. Santino licked the line of her throat. When he thrust into her again, he plunged his teeth inside of her jugular vein. April cried out. The ecstasy of the orgasm swept her away. She held him close and wove her fingers through his hair, holding his head to her neck. Once she came down from her high, she focused on his lips sucking on her blood. Her heart had slowed some, but his mouth on her skin felt amazing. Santino thrust into her a few more times and then came. April loved the feel of him inside of her. He slipped his hand from her breast and began to rub her clit again.
    “ Santino , please. I can’t…”
    He didn’t stop but fondled her faster. He continued to drink from her. April held on to him to keep herself anchored to her body. Once she reached climax, she screamed. Santino tugged on her veins one final time and then withdrew. April’s body continued to shake from the aftermath of her orgasm. She tried to breathe and calm her fevered heart, but it was so difficult. He licked her throat, then held her head, and stared into her eyes.
    “You taste better than I had ever imagined. All of this seems like a dream, and you are the one to wake me with your sweet kiss. I love you, April.”
    “How can you love me, when you don’t even know me?” she asked. Some of the spell that was over her fell away. Her head spun, but she was able to think. He said he loved her. She thought about it. When Santino gazed at her, he peered into her soul. There was a connection between them that she couldn’t deny. It was hard to say if it was love because the feelings she had attached to him were beyond words.
    “But I do know you. Like I said, you’re my mate. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t have been able to come into your dream. We bond on a level that goes beyond the physical. We’re meant to be together. The more you think about it, the more you’ll know it to be true. You’re beautiful, vibrant, and the perfect thing that I’ve been waiting for all these years. You taste exquisite. I want more than anything to eat you all up. It’s hard not to drink from you all the way. Or think about taking you again. I could go all night, but I don’t think you’re up for that right now. Maybe after you’ve gotten used to me. Let me show you what I mean. How much I love you.”
    Santino arched his neck and with a stroke of his nail, he slit his flesh. Blood welled to the surface of his pale skin dotting it like small cherries. All she wanted to do was pluck the sweet fruit from his throat. She licked her lips. April opened her mouth and placed it over the wound. The first taste of it was like nothing she’d ever sampled before. Sweet and tart with a hint of copper, as if she’d sucked on pennies. Images flashed through her mind. It was so sudden, she wasn’t sure how to sort it all out. Long lines of women waited outside the club to be kissed. And all she wanted, no, all Santino wanted, was to find someone to be with. It had been so long since he had someone to love. He had searched for centuries and had given up hope. It wasn’t until the owner of Hell’s Gate suggested that he use one of the private rooms because she understood about being alone.
    Another image of a beautiful redhead flashed in her mind and then she was suddenly replaced by the image of a wolf. April jumped and almost pulled away. Santino held her steady. She continued to drink and saw herself through his eyes, wide eyed and innocent the first time he had seen her with Cindy. He wanted her back. He sensed something about her. So deep was his intrigue, he had reached out and found he could penetrate her dreams. The yearning he
