Not her mate. But he was something called her first 'love'. Interesting. "Have there been other loves?" He brought his hand up to touch her neck, feeling her pulse throbbing through the thin leather of his gloves. "I have been here a long time. Maybe I need to relearn what it means to have humanity." He could feel her small, cool hand touch his head as she teased him, then press both of her hands against his chest.
"I am warm, and I feel better than 'good' under my clothes." His thoughts went to the scars on his back where his wings were and he backtracked. If she found out that he was a Shadowman he'd have to kill her to cover his tracks. He did not want to kill her. No, killing was opposite of what he wanted to do... "But that can wait until another time."
He could feel the quickening of her pulse as his fingers rested against her neck. He slowly drew them down, across the fabric of her thick coat and down the sleeve that covered the delightful flesh he could sense lying hidden beneath her garments. Zander's eyes were heavy-lidded as he regarded her and the way her body had changed. The increased pulses accompanied thoughts of her not-mate friend, who was her first love. Her hands pressed against his body as if begging for more warmth, and her extreme ties had stopped their shivering. "If the void within you is satisfied we can lay down so you can sleep. The closer our skin is to each other the warmer you will be." His hand moved to the top of the zipper on her coat, fingering the small metal fob as he considered stripping away the barrier along her front so that she could press herself against him.
"You are really too intelligent to have been sent here to act as a breeder. What is your purpose here, other than to track down your friend who was your lover but not your mate?" His face moved closer to her and he inhaled her scent, his lips hovering just an inch away from her neck as he contemplated the value of her knowledge to him versus his desire to couple with her in the caverns.
