AN: Written for the JA Fic Challenge

Caine landed just ahead of Jupiter and offered her a hand as she stepped down onto the roof of the skyscraper.

"Flying is so exhilarating," she exclaimed. "I don't think I'll ever be tired of it."

He nodded, scanning their surroundings for threats.

Jupiter stepped close. When he'd finished, she kissed him hungrily. "Flying" always made her affectionate and he didn't mind one bit. He tilted his head and opened his lips when she swiped her tongue across his lips.

She ran her tongue across his teeth and stroked his tongue. He couldn't stop the low moan in the back of his throat.

After a short pause to replenish her air supply, she peppered his neck with kisses stopping to run her tongue over his brand.

Something about her woke a new intensity in him. He wanted her more than he'd ever wanted anyone, but it was more than that. His protective instincts were doubled around her. Rage rose instantly to any perceived slight. It was difficult being around her, but he didn't want to be anywhere else, ever.

The scent of her arousal increased and Caine's head swam with desire. Keeping his response in proportion to her physical actions was always a challenge when he knew she wanted more.

He stroked a hand down the length of her hair, breathed her in her essence, and then kissed from her ear down to where her skin disappeared beneath her shirt.

"Caine," she said breathlessly. "Remember when we were in the Commonwealth? I asked if you wanted to bite me. You said 'maybe.'" Like she had done then she looked him straight in the eye and said, "Go ahead."

He stared at her for a long moment. In the Deadland, he had vowed he'd never bite anyone ever again.

She looked back expectantly and tilted her head to give him better access.

That was all it took. He placed his teeth carefully against the smooth skin of her throat. Her pulse raced. He sucked a little to pull her skin a little and gently closed his teeth.

Her groan echoed through him and the sensation was incredible. He trembled with the effort of not dropping to his knees, throwing back his head and howling.

"Again," she demanded, leaning her head the other direction.

He danced his nose across the skin of her neck before choosing the spot where her scent was strongest. As he bit her the second time, the combination of scent and her moan almost undid him.

He stepped back from her, panting heavily.

"That was…" Jupiter paused, searching for words, "almost orgasmic. I think we should continue this somewhere private, where we won't be interrupted for a long, long time."

He nodded once slowly, holding her gaze. "As your Majesty desires."

Her dark eyes darken into black pools. "I'm sure your enhanced senses are telling you exactly what I want. But what do you want?"

"You." He couldn't remember ever wanting anything in his life as much as he wanted her, in so many ways and for so many reasons.

She grabbed his hand and tugged him off the edge of building. As they flew into the gloaming light (presumably to somewhere they could spend some uninterrupted time together), Caine had never been so glad he'd broken a promise.
