He must have read her mind, because his thumbs caressed her cheeks, causing her to expel a moan. His touch ignited her.
With her free hand, she ran her palm over his shoulder, letting her fingers explore the taut sinew of his muscles that exuded strength. There was something about his powerful gentleness that made her want to give herself to him, and Tawny didn’t remember that ever happening before.
Alex dragged his lips from her mouth to her neck, and she must have tensed, because he looked up. “Don’t worry. We have time.”
What exactly did that mean?Admittedly, she kind of thought he might have been about to bite her, since by now he must have realized they were mates. They’d more or less just met, so he probably thought they needed to take it slow. Now wasn’t the time to ask him about his comment—or his intentions.
She lowered her arm and dragged her fingers down his slim hip. Touching him so close to his cock sent shock waves straight to her core. Tawny was incredibly turned on despite the fact they hadn’t even really kissed yet. Was that even normal?
“Do you want me?” he whispered in her ear.
“Yes.”Damn it.She should have hesitated and not acted so desperate, but she couldn’t help it.
The thing was, Tawny hadn’t been looking for a man. She loved her life—until he and Liam came to town. Then she’d started to wonder about having someone besides Zach and Ariel to share things with. Ever since she’d set her eyes on these two hunks, her thoughts had strayed to all of the possibilities.
Her wanderings were cut short when Alex captured her lips and delved in. The feeling of him in her mouth created a craving deep inside her. Their tongues entwined as if they were searching for that perfect mating position, and this new arousal shot bolts of electric energy straight to her pussy. Needing more contact, she pushed on his shoulder so he’d lie on his back. Alex obliged.
Swinging her leg across his body, she straddled him. He broke the kiss and grinned. “I didn’t expect that, but shit, I like it,” he said.
“I like keeping a man off guard.”
“Oh, darling, you’ve been doing that from the moment I laid eyes on you.”
Could he sweet talk a woman or what? Alex was smooth, she’d give him that.
“I’m glad.” That was a lame comment, but did he expect her to tell him how she’d pictured him naked many times?
He placed a hand on her back and drew her close. Lifting up on his elbow, he sucked on her tit, and the tiny licks inflamed her so much that she ground her pussy against his cock. If she hadn’t been wearing panties, she would have creamed all over him.
Alex released her breast. Before she could respond, he greedily sucked on the other one. “I love these. They are so perfect.”
Needing his lips on hers, she lowered her face. He must have sensed what she wanted, because he abandoned playing with her nipple and kissed her again. She couldn't wait any longer. Tawny ran her tongue along the seam of his lips and then dipped in. Where this need had come from, she didn’t know, but she suspected this insane craving for him had to be some kind of mate connection.
She plunged. He parried. It was as if they’d drown if they didn’t taste each other completely.
Alex broke the kiss. “Ride me.”
Since she was on the pill, and werewolves didn’t carry the normal STD’s that humans did, she was happy to oblige. “I need to get rid of something first.”
One second she was sitting on him and the next she was flat on her back. “I’ll help.”
Alex didn’t just pull off her panties. Oh, no, not him. Alex had to use his teeth to tug them down. “Hurry,” she panted.
He stopped and looked up. “We have all night. I’m no slam-bam-thank-you-ma’am type of guy. I want to love you the way you deserve.”
That might have been something he said to all of the women, but right now, Tawny believed he meant it solely for her, and her heart melted. She held up her palms and chuckled. “Don’t let me stop you.”
Tawny swore he took over a minute to take them off. When he tossed them to the foot of the bed, he dragged the back of his hand across his forehead. “Next time, sleep naked, darling. It will be easier for both of us.”
The next time? “Show me what you got first so I’ll want a next time.”
Tawny was about to resume her position of riding him, but apparently Alex had changed his mind. He crawled toward her, his eyes glowing. She caught sight of his elongated eye teeth for a moment, which made him look like a true predator.
“You are in trouble now, girl. I hope you are prepared to be ravaged,” he said.
Now he was just being silly. He sounded like a captain on an old pirate ship. “I’m ready.”
He dropped on top of her, protecting her from his weight by landing on his elbows. He then cupped her face and kissed her once more. Desperation poured out of him, and she wasn’t far behind.
