He was completely unconscious. He wouldn't wake, not with that bullet hole in his side and the amount of blood he had already lost.
Pushing up to her elbow, Aria stared down at the man in oblivion next to her. He was in no way a small man, over six-two, his weight she would never attempt to guess, but solid, packed muscle with not a trace amount of extra flesh anywhere that she had ever seen. And although grime and dirt covered he was still an incredibly good-looking male, too good-looking in fact, yet in a rugged masculine way, and that mane of jet-black hair atop his head only set off his handsomeness even more.
Her gaze traveled from his slumbering face to the area of the wound he'd received, the material stained dark with his blood. The scent of the life giving liquid tugged at her hunger even though she had dined freely on the targets they'd been sent after fought with and destroyed.
Aria honed in on his heartbeat, faint but steady. He would live if he received medical attention soon unless she chose to do something about it now. She would not however, do that to him, not this man, not Taylor Chatham.
Her eyesight took in everything, capable of seeing even in the pitch-black darkness that surrounded them. This cave had been a blessing to find after that battle they'd undertook, both needed to rest, Taylor, unable to go any farther had slipped into unconsciousness the minute his back had hit the hard dirt floor.
Aria let her eyes move lower, over the loose, filthy Dockers encasing him from the waist down, those too stained with blood. Her hunger increased, yet there was an added need building within her, a need that she now knew only Taylor could fulfill.
She knew from scent alone that his blood was one of those ultra rare types. The kind that could not only quench completely the hunger creatures like her had with one feeding, but would also give a pulse of sheer power with the taking of it. And then there was his semen. Taking that from him, as she was so obviously about to do would charge her body in ways she had only heard about. Either way, through her own throbbing cavern or oral, it really did not matter how she got it. Aria trembled.
If she did partake of that area of his body, would he know, would he remember? She questioned in the dark silence.
Her free hand lifted to the fly of the Dockers, easing over the bulge neatly packaged beneath the material and very nearly sighed aloud with the feel. He was big, really big and that brought a curl to her lips.
She needed to get him out of here, get him medical help, she argued with herself for what she was thinking of doing. His blood combined with his semen would give her enough strength to get them both to safety. Her gaze slipped back to his face and until she heard the rasp of his zipper, Aria had no idea that her hand was carrying out what her body wanted.
Continuing to watch for any signs of wakefulness, she slipped her hand inside, her fingers finding and wrapping around a cock that, even soft, would make a woman swoon at his feet. He was even bigger than she'd first realized and he gave a soft groan as she tugged him free of the material.
"I will stop the bleeding, Taylor." She whispered, sitting up and releasing her hold on him, she lifted the T-shirt up, exposing rippled abs and the wound at his side.
Aria lowered her head, the scent of that rare blood making her hunger almost unbearable; her body warmed almost instantaneously when her tongue snaked out and came back with the quickly drying fluid. There was the slightest of burns as she swallowed, then a tingle, a feathery spike of something deeper as the taste moved down her throat.
