need to mate had transferred to her.
“I’m sorry,” he said. He couldn’t say he disliked the idea of her being in heat for him. As much of a heat as a human could go through. He’d bitten her at the height of his need and that had turned her desire up more than a few notches.
She rose to glance at his face. Her big brown eyes filled with suspicion. “Why are you sorry?”
He didn’t want to tell her and ruin the moment, but he’d let his lion control him and now she would suffer the consequences.
“You’re going through the heat.”
She frowned. “It’s hot in here, but I don’t feel heat.”
He caressed a hand over her smooth, soft cheek. Her caramel skin was so beautiful, glistening in the firelight. “I bit you earlier.”
She nodded. “That shit hurt, too.”
“When I bit you, I transferred some of my animal biochemistry into your blood.” She frowned, confusion filling her eyes. “You will feel the same intense desire I feel for you at this time.”
She sat up in a rush, her tits drawing his attention and begging for him to curl his tongue over the hard points of her nipples and bite them again. Harder.
“You mean to tell me this need is your fault?” Anger sparked in the depths of her gaze.
“Only the amount of it. I’m not making you want me, which I am sure is where your mind is going.”
She stood. The curve of her hips and the indents of her waist and belly wiggled lovingly with every move. “Of course not,” she said, her voice hard. “You’re sex on two legs. Women throw themselves at you.”
He stood, trying to ignore the need to push her against the wall and shove his face into her pussy and lick her until wetness coated his face.
“I lost control of my lion and I’m sorry for that.” He took a step toward her, watching her pupils dilate and the scent of her need curl around them like a cloud of temptation. “What I am not sorry for is the fact I want you. That you want me.” He slid a hand down her body, cupping her breast and making his way between her folds.
“What are you doing?” She moaned. She didn’t stop him. He knew she couldn’t; the desire in her was greater than her annoyance. He rubbed a finger over her slick entrance and pressed inside.
He pulled his hand back, licking and letting her flavors explode on his tongue like the ripest fruit. “Tasting you. I can’t stop wanting to tongue fuck you until you come on my face.”
She inhaled deeply and shook her head. “This is not good.”
“Fuck good,” he snarled, grasping long chunks of her hair and pressing her against the wall like he visualized. “You already know I will never just fuck you good. Good will never apply. That’s too tame a word.” He licked the side of her face. “I will fuck you to within an inch of your life and bring you back for more.”
He kissed her hard, plunging his tongue into her mouth. Her soft moan destroyed his control. He coiled his tongue over hers. Hunger grew with every glide. The kiss took control of the moment, of them both.
Need pounded in his ears. Desire burned bright in his veins. There would never be enough time to memorize the taste of every inch of her body.
Bang
Bang
Bang
She yanked her lips away from his, breathing hard. “What was that?”
He growled, angry that someone interfered with their time. He was fully enraged at the sound. Gunshots. Poachers and hunters were strictly prohibited in Raging Falls. They’d never had a problem.
He marched to the back door and glanced into the darkness of the night. The wind blew south and he couldn’t get a scent of anything. He could leave the cabin and find out what was going on, but he didn’t want to leave Kira alone. The thought of someone invading his space while he was gone and something happening to her made his lion push hard at the skin.
“Should we see what’s going on out there?” she asked, coming to stand beside him, wrapped in the throw his mother knitted, from his sofa.
He
