For a brief second, I think he must be teasing. I’ve never let a guy taste me like that before, but the look of excitement on his face is matched with dark passion in his eyes, and I slide my fingers out and reach for his lips.
He sucks on one finger and then the other, tasting all of me, and I watch as he does. This is dirty, and we both know it, but we both want more. Matthew licks and sucks on my fingers until he’s satisfied and when he’s finished, he bites me gently and pulls my fingers out.
“You are so fucking delicious,” he tells me. “And I want more. Let’s go.”
I look at him and realize that this is the moment I have a choice to make. I can go with him. I can take him home. I can spend the night worshipping his body, but I can also run the risk that tomorrow morning is going to hurt: really hurt. I don’t date shifters. Hell, I don’t date anyone. I especially don’t date the CEOs of companies my boss hates.
But, tonight is about me.
It’s about Matthew.
It’s about us.
And I realize that when it comes to tonight, there’s only one decision I could possibly make.
Reaching for the keys, I start the car and pull out of the parking lot. I turn away from the bar and start driving down the empty road. The sound of crickets fills the air as I drive farther and farther from the bar, farther and farther from my chance to say no. I drive until he tells me to turn, and then I drive a little bit more, but I don’t regret this at all. I’m not going to.
I refuse to.
Tonight is all about us and I’m ready to have an adventure.
I’m ready for everything else he has to offer.
I’m ready for Matthew.
Chapter 10
Matthew
By the time we reach my house, I’ve sobered up considerably. That?
??s one of the nice things about being a shifter. Yeah, I can get drunk, but I can sober up almost as quickly. Now I’m glad that I had a nice buzz going when I met up with Cassidy, but I’m even more glad that I’m going to be at the top of my game when we get to my place.
We pull up to the driveway and she parks. Then we sit in the car for what feels like an eternity.
“So,” Cassidy drums her hands on the steering wheel.
“Hey,” I reach for her and place my hand on her leg. “You don’t have to come inside if you don’t want to.”
“You don’t want me to?” She seems surprised and a little sad.
“I definitely want you to, sweetie,” I cup her face. “But there is no pressure here, okay? We can do whatever you want tonight. If that means cuddling on the couch, then that’s fine. If it means ordering a pizza, that’s okay, too.”
“What if I want more than that?” Her eyes darken a little and I smile.
There’s my minx.
There’s my wildcat.
“Yeah, sweetie, we can do more than that.”
“You know I mean sex, right?”
“Oh, Cassidy, you’re about to learn an incredible lesson.”
“What lesson is that?”
“When it’s with me, baby, it’s never just sex.”
