end this night in his bed, they were wasted. The months they’d spent as friends, carefully avoiding the chemistry between them had her dancing on the edge of need as acutely as he himself was.
Her need he planned to do something about, now.
So hot , Kevin thought, pressing his nose to her slit. He inhaled her heady scent and her essence fired his blood to fever pitch. It stole through him in a flourish, making his veins ache with the urge to do so much more than sink his tongue into her wet flesh. His body throbbed, his cells felt afire. This wasn’t a normal reaction to a woman. It was a reaction to a female. It was the way he felt before he shifted.
He wouldn’t shift here, but that he wanted to do so nearly confirmed what he’d guessed. Liddy was no woman. She was a shifter. The female that he would make his. Later with his body, now with his mouth.
He sniffed her sexy scent one last time, then placed his tongue to her slit and licked the length of her damp folds. Her hold on his hair tightened, her nails nipping into his skull. A soft little mewl left her throat. Kevin grinned against her pussy and sank his tongue deep. His extrasensory hearing might have allowed him to be the only one to hear that mewl. But more than likely there were other shifters in the restaurant. Others who knew exactly what was going on beneath the table.
Oooh yes! More. Deeper. So close…
He responded to Liddy’s silent pleas with deep thrusts of his tongue into her sex. Warm wetness coated his tongue, growing damper with each push. So wet.
Palming her upper thighs, he kneaded the soft, dark flesh while he returned the pad of one thumb to her clit. With each plunge of his tongue into her pussy, he pressed at the swollen pearl. The muscles of her sex shuddered around his tongue. Her hips jerked against his face. He could taste how close she was to climaxing. So sexy.
More gentle mewls reached his ears. His answering growl was low but automatic. Her nails nipped harder against his head. Her pelvis jerked toward his face.
Oh God. Oh God. I’m going to come…
Her pussy convulsed around him. Cream drenched his tongue. One long, low cry lit the air. His cock thrummed with the animalistic sound. His balls hugged his body. He ached to pull her under the table and fuck her breathless.
Instead, he eased his finger against the inner walls of her sex, bringing her down from the climax. He took one last lap of her heavenly body, then fixed her panties and righted her dress. Mindful to grab the spoon, Kevin returned to his chair. The grin that took over his face as he looked across the table felt ridiculously huge, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
Liddy’s face was flushed, her eyes glazed and her lips dark and puffy. Her breath came out on fast, excited pants and he could hear her blood traveling at a rush through her body. She looked as though she’d been thoroughly loved. She hadn’t yet, not thoroughly, but she would be soon.
She reached for her wineglass as their server approached the table. Guilt flashed over her face as the man set their appetizer down. “Did you, uh, find your spoon?”
Kevin reached across the table when she set the glass back and took her hand in his. He rubbed over the pounding pulse at her wrist. “Yes, but I’m feeling awfully clumsy tonight. I’ll probably drop it again before the meal’s over.”
* * * * *
Kevin hadn’t dropped his spoon again. Liddy’s entire body had been keyed up for the moment when he would do so. Outside of rubbing her wrist before they began eating and flashing hot looks her way throughout dinner, he hadn’t even hinted at touching her again. That had to be the reason the silent ride back to her place had her nerves stretched to the snapping point.
Their conversation had been lagging since the moment he’d crawled beneath the tablecloth. It had stopped completely the instant they climbed into his truck.
Maybe he felt awkward about conversation after what he’d
