“We don’t have to go any further,” I offered, and I absolutely meant it. One, there was plenty of other ways I could get off. Two, I didn’t need to get off to have a good time. No, we couldgo right back to trying to bleach my five o’clock shadow, and I would be perfectly content.
“No, it’s okay,” Felicia said, pulling me closer. “I like it. I want it. You just take my breath away.”
“The feeling’s mutual,” I murmured, then kissed her again. I pulsed my hips, but barely. I was in no hurry. Her warmth and wetness around me were like a benediction, and I didn’t think I would ever find such bliss.
When I felt her adjust, I thrust in a bit further, watching her face. There was no pain on her features, though she was breathing deeply and focusing on relaxing. Still, I didn’t hurry.
Because why would I rush it? I was in heaven and had every intention to make it last as long as possible. Between kisses and my hands sliding up and down her body, lingering on that perfectly soft waist of hers and her hard nipples, time became meaningless. The next thing I knew, she’d taken me all the way down to my base.
“Fuck, baby,” I gasped, and nowIwas the one who was breathing hard. The line between my wolf side and my human side was down to a razor’s edge, andsomuch of me wanted to let loose.
“I can feel you in my stomach,” Felicia breathed.
My cock throbbed inside her at the very idea, and when she gasped, I could tell she felt it too.
I would be patient. Iwould.Even if I wanted nothing more than to lose myself inside her like a wild animal.
As if she could hear my thoughts, Felicia’s nails bit into my back in the most delicious way, and her ragged voice barely reached my ears over the furor clamoring in my mind.
“Enough patience,” she murmured, fire in her eyes. “Give it to me like I know you can.”
Fuck.
Fuck!
There was no resisting at that point. There was almost no barrier between my wolf and me as I pulled out nearly all the way, then thrust forward again.
Despite her words, despite my nearly feral nature, caution still lingered around the edges of my control. At least, it did until Felicia kept speaking.
“Like that, yes, but faster. Please, Cas, I promise I can take it. Give it to me.Give it to me.”
Her words echoed around my head, and my control snapped. I picked up my pace, moving faster, my hips burning as I slammed into her. I gripped her hip with one hand, anchoring myself in her softness, and grabbed the headboard with my other—partly because I knew I could sink my claws into it, but also because it was hitting the wall with my every thrust, like personal applause for our efforts.
“God, Cas! Oh my god! You’re so fucking deep.”
Yeah, I was. I wanted to whisper to her, to tell her what she was doing to me, but I was rendered speechless. I could feel my canines growing in my mouth as I took her, and I longed to sink them into the side of her neck.
Except she was human; she didn’t have a mating gland to puncture. Besides, even if she did, mating bites werenotsomething to do without a whole lot of conversation and some very explicit consent.
Fuck, was I really thinking of a mating bite already? I’djustmet Felicia. We hadn’t even known each other for a month. But as I stared down at her, watching as she took my cock, watching how that flush spread all the way down her body, I could picture it perfectly.
But the future was for the future. For now, I had the moment, and I wasn’t going to waste it. I cut off all wandering thoughts as well as the urge to claim her, and narrowed my focus to the moment and only the moment.
Every sigh of pleasure was an invaluable treasure. Every moan its own gold mine. I let them spur me on, flesh meeting flesh with fervor.
Stamina was never an issue for me, but I felt my end approaching much faster than usual. I supposed some of it was because it had been a while for me, but that part felt small. Mostly, it was just Felicia. Her grip on me was incredible, like the warmest, most welcoming velvet vise. And every time our eyes met, it was like actual lightning seared through me. It was like being reborn through fire.
I needed to make her come again before I exploded. Not as a matter of ego, but because Ineededto see and feel her fall apart right on my cock. I had no doubt it would be unlike anything else I’d ever experienced.
“God, you feel so good,” I hissed through clenched teeth, straightening and sliding my hands under that perfect ass of hers, tilting her hips upward to change the angle. It was the right angle, because Felicia let out a scream, and then her hands were on my chest again, her nails biting in.
Not everyone liked a little sting with their sensation, but I did. It was the perfect punctuation to my pleasure. Granted, not everyone had the ability to heal from a gunshot in an hour, so I supposed it was a bit different for them.
“I-I’m close,” Felicia sputtered as I felt the head of my cock hit that spongy wall within her. “But I don’t know if I can.”
“I know you can, baby,” I murmured, impressed that I was speaking with any sort of diction. “Just let your body do what it wants. Don’t worry about it, don’t reach for it, just focus on how good I make you feel, okay?”
I’d long since learned that aiming for an orgasm and focusing on only that was a good way for a woman to lose the thread entirely. No, the key was to be in the moment and just let it happen.
