CHAPTERSIXTEEN

Lindsay decided that curbing herself for the drive was too difficult. By the time Xav pulled into his driveway, she had his pants open and her hands playing with the warmth inside.

Xav drove into the large garage and shut down the engine. Lindsay barely noted that they’d stopped. His cock was stiff under her touch, sending her need soaring.

Before Xav could say a word, Lindsay lowered her head to his lap and took him in her mouth.

The groan Xav emitted made her wildcat purr. Lindsay traced him with her tongue, tasting the hot glory of him. She suckled, which made his groans louder and more desperate.

Xav’s hips moved, his hands in her hair. “Linds.Shit.”

Lindsay continued relentlessly. Xav went back against the seat, his hips rocking. He furrowed her hair with strong fingers, as though he resisted pushing her farther onto him. Lindsay obliged his silent wish by taking him all the way.

The light that had come on in the garage when Xav opened the door clicked off, sensing no motion outside the vehicle. Lindsay was glad of the darkness—she had no need of light to see Xav wanting her.

Xav placed a firm hand on Lindsay’s shoulder and drew her off of him. He was still hard, nowhere near sated, and Lindsay smiled at him.

“I said, let’s take thisinside,” Xav said. “My garage doesn’t count.”

“Outside is good, though,” Lindsay said breathlessly. “Maybe we could go up to the cabin once AC is gone, and play in the woods.”

“In February in the freezing snow.” Xav grinned. “Actually, that does sound kind of fun. But for now …”

Xav fastened his jeans and hit the button to close the garage door. Not until it was fully closed did Xav climb out. He came around to open the passenger door for Lindsay before she could jump out on her own, then he slid his arm around her and led her into the house.

Once in the back hall, the door locked behind them, Xav backed Lindsay into the wall. His kiss held all the built-up tension she’d put into him with her play, and she smiled into the kiss.

He’d take her right there, she thought, her body rocketing with excitement. Any moment, he’d undo her clothes and his, thrusting into her and relieving the ache that had been building all night.

To her disappointment, Xav broke the kiss and backed away, drawing a long breath. “I need a shower,” he said. “I’m coated in desert.”

Lindsay brushed at dust that lightened his hair. “It’s sexy.”

Xav laughed. “To you, maybe.” He turned away and strode through the kitchen to the hall on the other side, where he looked back. “Coming?”

Lindsay zipped to him faster than when she’d rushed AC to grab the taser. Xav continued his laughter as he caught her hand and towed her into the bathroom.

He let the shower warm as they undressed each other, Lindsay’s clothes falling away as fast as she tore off Xav’s. She’d have to buy him a bunch more shirts if she kept shredding them like this.

Xav’s large bathroom had a walk-in shower, the kind with no annoying doors or shower curtains to get in the way. He had a deep tub as well, which Lindsay thought would provide another place for fun.

For now, she let him guide her into the shower, the water quickly wetting their skin. Xav was right that dust had gotten inside his shirt to coat his chest and arms with dust, which Lindsay soon washed off with a good lathering of soap.

Xav applied soap to his hands and then skimmed them over Lindsay’s body, sliding easily across her breasts and back, down to her buttocks and between her legs.

Lindsay growled with satisfaction as Xav lifted her leg over his arm, opening her for his fingers. Sensations chased through her, beautiful need making her hot, then shiver, then hot again.

She cried out, her head against the wall, the tiles cool against her back while Xav seared the rest of her.

She felt her peak nearing, her vision blurring with the wildness Xav dragged to the surface. Her claws came out, but she sheathed them quickly, not wanting to hurt him.

“It’s okay,” Xav whispered. “I don’t mind a little scratch.”

Lindsay opened her eyes, feeling them change to Shifter, but she tamped down the beast within. The line between scratching and shredding was thin.

Xav’s smile was feral. Before Lindsay could do anything more, he lifted her up and then slid inside her, fitting her perfectly onto him.

Lindsay’s groan turned to a wail as Xav pulled her down onto him, bracing her against the wall while he thrust.
