Nathaniel knew in his heart this was the only woman he would ever love. He would
not allow the mad vengeance of another ruin their happiness. Nathaniel was prepared
to do whatever he had to in order to save that.

 Why can t he kill you now? Violet looked at him in confusion then quickly
corrected herself when she realized what she said.  I mean, I don t want him to but why
the appointment so to speak?
Nathaniel had to admit not many women, even those hard cases in his own time,
would have taken this in their stride as easily as Violet did. He knew she was scared, he
could feel the trembling of her body against his, yet she appeared determined not to
show it. What spirit. What passion. We will have a grand life together.
 I was imprisoned at midnight in 1728. For me to perish I must be killed at the same
time. Added to that, I suspect whatever power has made him arise from the grave is
limited and he would need to conserve that in order to do the deed.
Violet s hazel eyes were enormous on his.
 What can we do?
 We have to find a cat. Nathaniel dropped the knife and moved away from Violet.
He needed to think and holding Violet meant only one part of him was thinking and it
wasn t the smartest part.
 A cat? Sure, I can see how a kitty cat can scare away a deranged killer. She rolled
her eyes cynically at him.  Seriously, why?
 Because only a cat can kill the undead. They are terrified of them. Nathaniel
loved every mood and reflection in Violet from disbelief, to passion, to love. When she
admitted she loved him he felt stronger than he d ever felt before.  The evil undead
cannot abide cats, Nathaniel explained.  If the undead are scratched by one they
perish.
 How do you know this? Violet looked agog at this information.
Nathaniel suspected his world was very different from hers. What they believed
two hundred years ago probably seemed foolish now yet he knew it would save them.

 It s folklore, beauty. Sailors, pirates, have many superstitions that they abide by
without question. All he needed now was a cat.  The undead can be killed by a cat.
While it may not make sense to you or me, it is fact.
Violet came up with the solution.
 Mrs. Mullins next door has a cat called Timmy. She looked at him skeptically.
 Though, I don t think  Timmy is a particularly scary name to thwart evil.
 The mere fact that Timmy is a cat is all we need. He moved toward her once
more. He could do nothing about Black Pete until tonight. The pirate would not waste
his limited strength on a prolonged assault now. Nathaniel reached for the tie on her
robe and pulled it free.  Now where were we? The robe slipped open displaying the
body he adored.
 You want sex now?
 Yes, madam, I do. Nathaniel quickly lashed her hands together with the tie from
her robe. He planned to make every single moment he had with Violet count, just in
case.
Violet looked down at the rose-colored satin that bound her wrists.
 How am I supposed to have sex like this? She wanted to touch and tug.
Nathaniel bent down and hoisted her up onto one shoulder, his hand caressing her
butt.
 Let me show you. He walked through to the living room with her. He stopped at
an armchair and placed her feet on the floor.
Violet was helpless. She could do nothing but allow him to position her so she
leaned over the back of the chair with her ass in the air. Though it was not her best
feature she was not averse to him favoring it as only he could.
 Um, what are you going to do, Nathaniel? She felt him spread her legs wide.
Nathaniel dropped down on his knees.

 I never finished what I was doing before, he murmured as his tongue touched her
inner thigh.
 Oh boy, Violet moaned. She dug her bound hands into the headrest of the
armchair and held on as his mouth devoured her pussy from behind. She closed her
eyes and allowed herself to feel and not think of anything but the man between her legs.
How did I live so long without this man?
 You are delectable, he murmured as his tongue sought entrance to her vagina.
As Nathaniel thrust in and out of her, Violet ground herself against him for more.
 I need to come.
 So come, Nathaniel invited agreeably between mouthfuls.
 I need to have you inside me when I do.
Nathaniel shot to his feet and pushed his groin against her butt.
 Condom. He was so hard and ready to thrust that she almost relented but she
knew better than that.
 Hell and damnation, that s right. Nathaniel all but ran into the bedroom to get the
condom.  Do you do this to make me even wilder for you? He hurriedly returned
rolling the condom on his furiously bouncing cock.
 Be a good pirate and just fuck me hard, will you.
Nathaniel threw back his head and laughed as he grabbed her hips.
 I adore you, Violet Rose.
 And I love you, Nathaniel Dreadnought. Now make me come. She squealed in
delight as he penetrated her in one thrust.  Oh yes, she panted as he gave her no
quarter, ramming his shaft inside her over and over again until her legs shook.
 I don t believe I could ever get enough of you, beauty, he whispered in her ear
tenderly, although his groin against her ass was anything but gentle as it powered away
against her.

Violet knew she would have some pretty interesting bruises tomorrow but she
didn t care. All that mattered was now. She was thankful she was pinned to the
armchair as she knew she would have fallen in a heap without Nathaniel holding her
up so splendidly. She dropped her head against the back of the headrest as she came,
almost biting through the cushion top. Her hips ached, her knees were wobbly but she
rode out the storm of his passion as he clutched her to him and came.
 We have to do that again, Violet gasped as Nathaniel pulled her around to face
him.
 Count on it, beauty. He kissed her heartily in promise.

Chapter Five
 Why is it that cats are always around when you don t want them but they nick off
the minute you do? Violet was on her hands and knees trying to coax a reluctant
Timmy out from under a wooden seat in the communal garden of the apartment block.
 Come out you little bugger. She never cared for the recalcitrant Timmy however
Nathaniel s life was under threat and she would do whatever she had to in order to
save him. The thought of Nathaniel being torn from her life chilled her. In less than
twenty-four hours he had turned her world upside down and she liked it. Violet could
not imagine the future without him.
 Cats are smart, Violet. Nathaniel dropped down beside her, his hand going to her
jean-covered ass.  Did you mean what you said?
 I ve said so many things since meeting you. Which one in particular? Violet knew [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
