her back arching, her legs trembling. Caleb
sat up, wrapping his arms around her waist as he covered her mouth with his,
changing the angle so that it was even deeper, even better. He thrust his
tongue in and out of her mouth, matching the rhythm with which he made love to
her. Wanting to give herself entirely to him and not feeling she could ever get
enough, she bit down on his tongue, engaging him, her fingers digging into his
skin as she pushed back with her hips.
“You are
absolutely beautiful,” he told her. “I don’t know how it’s possible for any woman
to be so perfect…for me.”
His words
touched her heart, but she refused to read into them, simply kissing him again
to silence him. Although it didn’t matter, he had already seduced her
emotionally. An unbelievably deep…real attachment to this man wasn’t something
she had ever wanted, yet if she were honest with herself she would have to
admit that it had always been there… Her nails dug into his skin a little
harder than she intended at the thought, and she forced herself to relax and
enjoy the moment.
He broke the
kiss again so he could savage her neck, biting and sucking in a way she knew
was going to leave a mark. It thrilled her that she didn’t care. A moan broke
from her lips when one of his hands reached down between them and found her
clit, stroking her higher and higher as he continued to penetrate her with
steady, hard thrusts. She was molten, a quivering, burning mass of pleasure,
and it wasn’t long before the orgasm broke through her with an overwhelming
force. She held onto him for dear life, her legs clamping his waist, her pussy
clenching around his cock as she screamed his name.
“Yes,” she cried
out, gouging her nails into his shoulders. “Oh God, Caleb!” They moved together
furiously, pushing each other to the edge, and she watched his golden eyes go
blind as he emptied himself inside of her with a roar.
Afterward, he
levered himself onto his arms and stared down at her with an unreadable
expression. He brushed a hand against her cheek, lingering, and the gesture was
so tender she wanted to cry. She opened her mouth to say something, but the
doorbell rang, and he was on his feet, fastening his pants.
“That’ll be
your security detail coming to relieve me. Get dressed so I can introduce you
before I leave, okay? I’ll be back here at six-thirty.”
He stalked
out of the kitchen, and she struggled with the urge to heave her empty coffee
mug at his sexy, naked, retreating back. The need for clothing won out, though,
and she hurried up the stairs to change.
Today was
going to be a long day.
Chapter Six
“What
do you mean, you let her get away?”
Randy cringed
inwardly at the censure in their master’s tone, though his face remained a mask
of stone. He glanced at Kyle, who was still unconscious; healing from the
bullet wound, and wished he were awake. He was better at dealing with people,
and usually was the one who dealt with these kinds of conversations.
“Caleb
appeared just as we were about to take her. While we were trying to fight him
off, she shot Kyle in the neck. We had to retreat.”
His master
let out a disgusted sigh. “Sometimes I wonder if I should have just gone down
to do this job myself. How long until Kyle is back in commission?”
“At least
another day.” Shifters normally healed pretty fast, but this was a serious
wound.
“I can’t afford
to wait that long. I’m sending someone else in. He’ll meet you this afternoon.
If that woman isn’t delivered to me within twenty-four hours, I will personally
skin you and mount your hide on my wall. As for your brother, he’ll share your
fate.”
Randy swallowed
as he glanced over at the sleeping Kyle. From anyone other than their master,
it was an idle threat. “Yes sir. Consider it done.”
His only
answer was a click, followed by a dial tone.
