Snowbound
want, princess?”
    “Yes.” Mostly. She wanted him, but maybe
without the edge of anger.
    His teeth raked her skin as he nuzzled the
bend of her neck. Beth kept her hand in his hair, the other one on
his waist for support. His hands were busy, one clamping around her
ass, the other stroking her thigh.
    “Open your legs, girl.”
    Responding to the command, relieved to note
his tone had changed, she slid her thighs wider, so he could step
between. “Reed.” She moaned his name when he pressed the hard
length of his arousal against her folds. His jeans and her satin
underwear were barely a barrier between them.
    “I’m not a toy, Beth.” He said the words
harshly before licking down her chest, pausing to suck on her right
nipple. “You don’t play with me, girl.”
    She shook her head, not sure if he could see
from his vantage point at her breast. “I’m not. I just really want
you. Have since the first day I saw you.”
    He made a sound that could have been a
stifled groan or something expressing his disbelief. Instead of
arguing or protesting, his hand slipped between their bodies,
moving between her thighs. “You’re gonna get me, little girl, but I
hope it’s what you really want.” Lifting his head, his dark blue
eyes drilled into hers. “I don’t play sissy games or do romance. I
ain’t a sexy vampire, Beth. I’m the kind who bites. You may think
you’re gettin’ what you want, but I’m the one takin’. You got
that?”
    She nodded, unable to speak as he pushed
aside the crotch of her panties with ruthless precision, spearing
her wet heat with one large finger. Beth bit her lip, moaning as he
stroked her. Her thighs tightened around him, and she was thankful
for the table’s support. Without it, her whirling head would have
sent her crashing to the ground—not to mention her knees, rendered
weak by his sure strokes.
    He knew exactly how to touch her, when to
brush her clit, and when to penetrate her with two thick fingers.
Tossing her head back, she ground against his hand, even though it
hurt a little. He was awfully close to fully breaching her, and
either he didn’t realize or didn’t care that she had never done
this before. It hovered on the edge of her tongue to tell him, but
the sudden way he shifted his hand, rubbing upward against her
walls while circling her clit, made her almost scream.
    “Let go, Beth. Come for me.”
    She hadn’t been trying to suppress her
climax, but still, his words released the floodgates. Beth arched
against his hand, grinding her sex against his palm as he kept his
fingers moving inside her. She clutched his shoulders hard as a
powerful orgasm swept over her, making her entire body shudder.
    His hand stilled, before sliding possessively
to her thigh, where he gripped her leg tightly. “That’s just a
little taste, Beth. I’m goin’ to do things to you no one ever has
before.”
    Drawing in a shaky breath, she managed a
small smile. “Shouldn’t be hard. I’ve never let anyone get that
close before.”
    His eyes widened, and his mercurial eyes
seemed to lighten in color. A measure of tension left him, and his
hold on her slackened a bit. “You’re a virgin?”
    Beth nodded. “It’s not a big deal.”
    He made a sound that clearly indicated he
disagreed. Shaking his head, he stepped back. “Get dressed, girl.
This madness is over.”
    “But, Reed.” Beth slid off the table,
reaching for him as he took another step backward. “Please. You
can’t just leave it like this.”
    He glared at her. “I’m the one hard and
aching, not you. I ain’t takin’ your virginity. What kind of
bastard do you take me for?” He seemed angry that she was a virgin,
and even angrier that she expected him not to care.
    Beth wanted to continue arguing, but suddenly
her mildly spinning head started whirling in earnest. “Reed, I
think I’m going to faint.” Before she’d even finished uttering the
words, he was there, sweeping her into his arms. She didn’t
