Jase continued to suck at her breast as he dropped his hands to the button on her pants and quickly undid it. The zipper was pulled down next. His knuckles brushed against the front of her panties as he parted the material of her jeans. Katarina stilled her movements and waited to see what he’d do.
She didn’t have long to find out. He caressed her lower stomach before he took hold of her hips and lifted her off him, placing her to stand in front of him between the couch and the coffee table. He tugged her jeans down until they reached her ankles. She stepped out of them and kicked them away.
Jase spread his legs and hooked the front of her panties with his finger, using it to tug her forward to stand between them. His hot gaze swept her body. He purred. “Cats are partial to cream. And I know where I can lick some up.”
Katarina couldn’t tear her gaze off Jase as he pushed down her panties and waited for her to step out of them before he tossed them away. He ran his hands up the insides of her thighs and gently nudged them farther apart. She held on to his shoulders, then gasped as one of his fingers dipped into her pussy. She watched as he brought it to his mouth and sucked it clean.
“Oh, there’s definitely cream there,” he said.
Her legs just about gave out on her. She was so turned-on her body shook with the need to come. She wanted his mouth on her, licking and sucking her to orgasm. Already at a fever pitch, it wouldn’t take much to achieve that.
Jase lifted her again. This time he maneuvered them both so she lay on her back on the couch with her legs hanging off it while he kneeled on the floor in front of her. He yanked her bottom to the very edge of the seat cushion, then licked her pussy with the flat of his tongue.
Katarina gasped and lifted her hips as he lapped at her like a cat would cream. All the while Jase continued to purr, sending shock waves of pleasure through her. Her body coiled tight. She reached down and held him to her as she rocked against his mouth.
He sucked on her clit and pushed one finger into her pussy, then stroked it in and out. A second soon joined it, scissoring, stretching her. That, added to what he did to the small bundle of nerves that was the center of her pleasure, was enough to send her over the precipice and into release. Katarina let out a keening moan as her inner muscles clutched and released the digits buried inside her.
Once the last sensation hit her and she went limp, Jase held on to her bottom, and with his free hand, undid his jeans. He pushed them down past his hips and sprang his cock. Katarina lifted her head and got her first look at it. It was thick and long, and she couldn’t wait to have it in her pussy.
He fisted himself at the base of his shaft and led it to the wet opening to her body. Jase dipped the head into her juices, then rubbed her clit with it. Katarina lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist.
Jase aligned his cock with her pussy and pushed forward until she’d taken the tip of him. He pulled back before he thrust deeper. He continued to work his length into her a little bit at a time. Once he was seated to the hilt, he grabbed her hips and took her in long, hard strokes.
Katarina matched the pace he set. She squeezed around his plunging cock, increasing the pleasure she felt. Jase groaned. He kept hold of her and bent his upper body over her as he thrust faster. She lifted her hands behind her and braced them on the cushion to stop her head from knocking into it. His shaft grew even harder, stretching her even more. The sounds of their heavy breathing and bodies meeting filled the room.
She sucked in a breath as something warm landed on her chest. Katarina looked to find Jase’s cougar head pendant resting against her. She soon forgot about it when he angled his hips in just the right way for his cock to stroke her G-spot. Another release quickly built. She locked her ankles at his waist and thrust up to meet him.
Jase pistoned into her, purring and groaning at the same time. “I can’t hold back anymore.”
“Come,” she said on a moan. “I’ll be right there with you.”
His fingers dug into her hips as he pumped once, twice, then held her to him as his cock pulsed deep inside her pussy. Katarina’s sounds of pleasure joined his as she too climaxed. This one lasted longer than when she’d come against his mouth and was more intense. By the time it ended, she was completely wrung out and didn’t think she could move to save her life.
Chapter Four
Jase had to be squishing Katarina, but the thought of lifting himself off her seemed beyond his capabilities at that moment. He’d come so hard he felt as if all his bones had turned to jelly. He tried to catch his breath. Their mingled scents filled his nose, causing little aftershocks through him. Making love to her was like nothing he’d experienced in another woman’s arms.
He finally managed to brace his weight on his forearms and lightly kissed Katarina. She put her arms around his neck and played with the ends of his hair. Jase took satisfaction in seeing the satiated look she wore.
“Want to do it again?” he asked with a crooked grin.
Katarina smiled. “Give me a few minutes to catch my breath. The couch was fine, but for round two, I’m going to suggest we move to my bed. I don’t think my back will stand another go here.”
Jase put his arms around Katarina’s waist, then lifted her as he sat on the floor. He held her to him to keep his softening cock inside her as she straddled his hips. “This better?”
“Much,” she said and brushed his lips with hers. She glanced down his body. “How come I’m naked and you still have your jeans mostly on?”
“That’s your fault. You made me so worked up I got impatient and couldn’t wait to have you. I didn’t feel like waiting to remove them all the way.”
“I guess I can overlook it then.”
“Well, thank you.” He kept hold of her and stood with her in his arms. One handed, he hiked his jeans up enough for him to walk unimpeded before he carried her toward her bedroom. “Rest time is over. Let’s get back to the fun.”
* * * * *
Jase came awake to the pleasurable sensation of having his cock sucked. He groaned and lifted the sheets to see Katarina under them with him buried in her mouth. Her head bobbed up and down as she slid him in and out. He flipped the covers off her and watched until his point of no return edged close.
He took hold of her by her arm and gently urged her up his body. She made a trail of kisses as she went and stopped with her lips hovering above his.
“Good morning,” she said.
“Good morning. I have to say you really know how to wake up a man.”
“I couldn’t resist. You were lying there all naked. I didn’t think you’d mind.”
Jase reached between their bodies until he encountered her pussy. She was wet and ready for him. “And I can see you didn’t mind either.” He dipped a finger inside her. She moaned.
Katarina shook her head. “No, I don’t. In fact, I want more. It seems I can’t stop craving you.”
“Then take what you want.”
She didn’t hesitate to do exactly that. Katarina positioned herself over his fully engorged cock, then slowly impaled herself. Purrs he couldn’t hold back rumbled out. He’d made love to her most of the night, but he hadn’t come anywhere near slaking his need for her. Each time he took Katarina, he only wanted to possess her more.
Katarina put her hands on his chest, sliding him in and out of her pussy. Her strong inner walls gripped him, wringing more purrs out of him. He could get lost inside her and never want to come out.
She sat up, then raised and lowered herself on him. Jase looked up at her to see she had her eyes closed and her bottom lip between her teeth. He shifted his gaze to where their bodies were joined. The sight of her pussy taking his cock was the most erotic thing he’d seen. He lifted his hips and surged up into her as she rode him.
Jase’s balls rose closer to his body as his climax edged ever nearer to the surface. To make sure Katarina came with him, he reached between them and found her clit with the tip of his finger. He rubbed it as she rode him
faster, her breath coming in pants.
The first flutter along his cock heralded her release. She moaned his name, her movements growing jerky. As her pussy milked his shaft in a tight fist, he could no longer hold off his orgasm. He thrust up into her one final time, lifting her knees off the mattress, and emptied himself inside her. She collapsed on top of him once there was nothing left for him to give.
“If we keep this up, I don’t think we’ll be leaving the bed any time soon,” Jase said.
Katarina slid off him and propped herself on her bent arm as she lay on her side to look down at him. “I think you’re right. As for myself, I blame it on the year of celibacy I forced on myself.”
“A whole year? That does deserve a marathon of sex, but if I don’t get up and go home, I have a feeling my brother Grady will come looking for me.”
“You two live together?”
“Yes, and with my parents as well.”
Katarina gave him a stare that said she wasn’t sure what she thought about that. “Really? Your parents?”
“It’s not what you’re thinking. I haven’t moved out because I can’t stand living away from Mommy and Daddy. It’s a tradition of my family. I’ll be blunt here. We’re rich, very rich. I live in what you’d call a mansion, I suppose. My bedroom is more like an apartment, maybe a little bigger than yours.” He reached up and tucked some of her brown hair behind her ear. “I’ll take you there and show you.”
“If you’re that rich, I take it you don’t have a job.”
“No, I don’t. I have a lot of investments that have done very well. One of them being the software company my uncle started.” Jase said the name and saw by Katarina’s expression she recognized it.
“If you own stock in that corporation, then you can’t be hurting.”
A loud knock sounded on the door, breaking into their conversation. Katarina shifted as if to get off the bed. Jase grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest before she could.
“Leave it. Maybe the person will go away,” he said.
Katarina pulled out of his grasp. “Unlike you, I have to work for a living. I’m the superintendent, remember? I have tenants knocking on my door all the time or calling me about something. It’s my job to take care of it.”
She got off the bed, then headed for her closet as the knock came again. Katarina took out a thick bathrobe and pulled it on. She tied the belt around her waist as she walked toward the bedroom door that stood open.
“You’re not answering the door like that,” Jase said as he sat up.
Katarina rolled her eyes. “I’m completely covered. I’m not getting dressed until after I’ve had a shower. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done this.”
She continued on her way. Jase remained in bed and listened to Katarina open the apartment door. With his sensitive cougar shifter hearing, he was able to hear as if he stood next to her. At the sound of the voice that answered when she asked what she could do for the person outside in the hall, he quickly climbed off the mattress and yanked on his jeans. He was almost out of the bedroom when Katarina came to get him.
“Grady is here. You won’t have to worry about him calling you, after all.”
“I’ll try to get rid of him.”
Jase gave Katarina a quick kiss before he walked around her. Once he stepped into the living room, he saw his brother standing near the closed apartment door. Jase came to stand in front of him.
“What are you doing here, Grady?”
“When you didn’t come home last night and didn’t answer any of the text messages I sent, I wondered if you’d had a run-in with Caleb.”
“So you came here to make sure I was still with Katarina,” Jase said as a statement rather than a question.
“Give me a break. Caleb’s apartment is across the hall. He could have gotten the jump on you.”
Jase held out his arms to either side of him and did a quick turn. “As you can see I’m perfectly fine. You can leave now.”
“I was thinking while I was here, the two of us can go check out Caleb’s place and see if he left any clues behind. Your new girlfriend will be able to let us in since she’s the superintendent of the building.”
“I’ll ask Katarina, but if she won’t do it I’m not going to push. I don’t want her to think I’m trying to take advantage of her.”
Grady smiled. “By how thick her scent is all over you, and how you smell like sex, I’d say you already did. You’re a lucky bastard. She’s gorgeous.”
Jase decided to ignore what his brother had said. “I’ll go ask. Wait right here.”
He left Grady by the door and headed back to the bedroom. He found Katarina sitting on the bed, waiting for him. She gave him a questioning look.
Jase shook his head. “No, I didn’t get rid of him yet.” He paused as he came to stand in front of her. “Would you be against letting us into Caleb’s apartment to have a look around? Grady thinks there’s a chance Caleb would have left a clue behind as to where he could have gone.”
“I don’t think I really should do it, but considering what he tried to do to your uncle, I’ll bend the rule just this one time. Whatever you do, don’t break anything, and be quiet. The tenant one door down is an older lady, and she knows everything about everyone who lives here. I’m sure she’ll set up a fuss if she learns I let you in. She’s gone over my head a few times and brought issues up with the owner, who in turn came down hard on me because of it.”
“You have my word we’ll be as stealthy as cats.” Which wouldn’t be hard for him and Grady. His kind could move without making a sound when they wanted to.
“Just see that you do. You two can look around while I’m in the shower. I’ll let you in now.”
Jase followed Katarina out to the living room. She stopped only long enough to get a ring of keys from the kitchen. Both he and Grady fell into step behind her as she walked across the hall to Caleb’s place. She unlocked it and stepped aside for them.
“I’ll lock the place up after you’re done,” Katarina said. “I’ll be in the shower.” She turned and walked back inside her apartment.
Jase opened Caleb’s door, then stepped through it with Grady before quietly shutting it behind them. A quick glance showed the window that Caleb had escaped through had been shut. Other than that it was the same as it’d been the day before.
“You want to start in here and I’ll take the bedroom?” Grady asked.
“All right. Try not to disturb anything. We don’t need Caleb to come back and find out we’ve been snooping around his things. He might really run then. As for our scents, I doubt he’ll be back soon enough to be able to smell them. After all, scent trails don’t last that long.”
“Gotcha. I’ll be careful.”
Once Grady disappeared into the bedroom, Jase started his own search out in the main part of the apartment. After a closer inspection of the furniture, he had a feeling Caleb had rented this place furnished. His prey wouldn’t have had the time to pack all that stuff up and move it there in such a short period of time. And then there was the fact everything was mismatched and on the old side. They didn’t match the Caleb he knew.
A thorough search of the living room didn’t turn up anything. Not that there were many things there to hide something. Jase went to the kitchen. He looked through the cupboards, which were mostly empty. There was only a plate, bowl and cutlery for one person with a couple glasses. The inside of the fridge didn’t hold anything but a few bottles of water. Obviously, Caleb hadn’t been eating there. The freezer was bare, and there were no canned goods anywhere.
Jase was about to head for the bathroom when Grady called his name. He hurried into the bedroom to see what his brother had found.
“Did you find something?” he asked as he closed the distance between him and Grady.
“Well, I have a feeling Caleb will be coming back soon. If anything, he’ll want to get this.” Grady held up a clear plastic zippered bag that had a thick wad of cash in it.<
br />
“Where did you find it?”
Grady snorted. “Under the mattress. What a bonehead.”
“I have to agree with that, considering the neighborhood. Put it back. And you’re right. He won’t leave that amount of cash behind.”
“I’d suggest you find a way to stay with Katarina so you can be here when Caleb does return, but your scent will give away your presence. If he were human that would be another story.”
Jase blew out a breath. “I still don’t think it’ll be within the next couple of days. I scared him off, but I have to agree about not having my scent hanging around. I better not stay at Katarina’s place again. The fresh scent will tip him off.”
“Then where will you take her to do the nasty?” Grady asked with a laugh.
“I’ll bring her home.”
His brother instantly sobered. “You would take her to our house? Where Mom and Dad are?”
“Well, yeah.”
“Aren’t you worried about what their reaction will be to you bringing a human into our home?”
“No. I doubt they’ll be too upset by it. Both their nephews are mated to humans, and our leader has accepted them into the family group. Our uncle has had a complete reversal in opinion about them.”
“That does help. And I do have to say our parents are more open about them than others.” Grady chuckled. “At least you’ll be the first one to bring a human home and not me. And if I happen to one day, they’ll have adjusted to it by that point.”
“I’m so glad I can be your guinea pig. Anyway, did you find anything else?”
“No. There’s hardly anything in here. Just a few articles of clothing hanging in the closet and stored in the dresser. What about you?”
“Nothing. There’s not even food in the kitchen. I have a feeling this was only a temporary place for him to stay. We won’t find any clue here to where Caleb can be. I’m going back to Katarina’s place. I’ll see you later.”
Grady smiled. “I guess you won’t be going out to the bars with me for a while now that you’re with Katarina. It won’t be as much fun if I’m alone.”
