she didn’t fall. Zoe again hugged him and then shoved him away. Caveat
pranced back. The other horses were calling from a distance.
“Go, Caveat,” Zoe commanded. “Go.”
Caveat snorted then lowered his head. He spun around
and took off. His tail was arched high; he bucked his strong powerful legs off
to one side away from Zoe. The wind he created flapped his mane across his
thick neck. He stopped short, wheeled, returned and she told him to go, pushing
at him. Caveat raced off. He stopped and turned, but he didn’t come back. He
nickered. Zoe nickered back. Caveat trotted away, head lowered. Zoe collapsed
into Doss’ arms.
Chapter 4
Zoe’s heart was in agony. Doss not only sensed it, but
because of his natural ability to feel emotion so highly, he felt some of her
pain. She looked lost and alone, defeated and resigned. Once again too many
emotions bombarded his senses. This time Doss just sat beside her on the bed
and felt with her. He realized that when she became his mate he would better
understand how she was feeling, but right now he just needed to listen to how
she felt.
Doss reached for her hand. The second he touched her
he inhaled deeply. Secretions formed immediately to calm her. Soon her head was
pressed to his chest. Doss pulled her closer to connect her cheek to his skin.
Tears dripped from her eyes to his flesh, absorbing into his skin. Each one
sent a shock to his system to try harder. He knew why humans cried. There was a
taste to her tears. Bitterness, hurt, suffering. Grief
needed to be expelled; humans had no shield to regulate emotion and so they
needed an outlet. Doss felt each tear. And with it came the erratic pounding of
her heart.
Sorrow assaulted him. It was like feeling the death of
his mother through Zoe. Every emotion he had controlled the day she died was
now awash within his body. All he could do was pull her tighter. He kissed the
top of her head, stroked her hair. Her bared breasts were crushed against him.
She was feeling so alone within her emotions, abandoned. She felt she had
betrayed and Doss knew she had been betrayed. All of the humans had, the Tonans were bastards.
But she wasn’t alone. There was no one more loyal than
he. “Zoe,” Doss whispered. “Belong to me forever. I won’t leave you. I would
never betray you or abandon you.”
“Not the cheating boyfriend type, huh?” she muttered.
Doss frowned. “Humans cheat on their mates? How is
that possible?” The idea alone was incomprehensible to him. “I would never
cheat on you, either. I promise to love you. I will protect you with my life.
Maybe in time you will love me.”
When she looked up at him his heart melted. Her dark
eyes were wet and overflowing. Her cheeks were red and stained with her sorrow.
Doss had never seen such dark depthless eyes. No wonder she was filled with
emotion, it was as endless as her intensity. She curled her arm around his neck
and pulled him closer. Doss had no idea what she had in mind, but when she
pressed her lips to his, Doss thought he would lose his mind with the taste of
her. Her full rosy mouth was soft and warm. Their saliva mixed and Doss felt
like he was inside of her.
Zoe’s tongue caressed his and he sucked her into his
mouth. She was like a drug, Doss knew what drugs were. Long ago, his kind had
experimented with certain things to enhance their sexual drive. Doss was
startled; the idea was over fifty thousand years old. Doss had no idea his
memories stretched back that far. But one taste of her and he knew the memory
was true, her scent and saliva triggered the thought. Tonan and Castian , had experimented a great deal to become
the race they were now.
Doss groaned when their kiss broke and his flexible
pants were strained across his cock. What the hell? Doss knew it was an
erection. When he had last gone into must four hundred years ago, it had
happened once. A white substance sticky like tree sap had sprayed up like
pranced back. The other horses were calling from a distance.
“Go, Caveat,” Zoe commanded. “Go.”
Caveat snorted then lowered his head. He spun around
and took off. His tail was arched high; he bucked his strong powerful legs off
