She convulsed and collapsed against him. “I’m sorry,” she said as she hid her face in his shoulder. “I didn’t know that spot even existed.”
“I love a woman who comes easily, but it’s been awhile for me, and I want to make it good for you,” he said as he planted kissed on her shoulder.
“Oh, it has been good for me,” she muttered. She bit her lip and finally raised her head. “Can we move to the bedroom now?”
He raised his eyebrows. “Okay?”
“You’ll see,” she whispered, and she tried to lift herself off him, but he gripped her hips.
“Oh no. You’re not leaving.”
She squealed when he lifted her off the couch. She tightened her legs around him, and as he began to walk, he moved inside her. “Oh,” she grunted.
Suddenly, her back was against the wall, and he slowly slid out of her. “Cole,” she gasped.
“Can’t help it,” he muttered. “Just need to feel it.” After a few strokes, he gripped her hips and began to move walk again. She saw the familiar walls of her bedroom, and squealed when they tumbled on the bed.
Immediately, her legs were up, and he was sliding inside her again. She grabbed the sheets and arched her back. “Yes. No. Wait.”
He froze. “What? What am I doing wrong?”
“Pull out,” she whispered.
“What?”
“Pull out,” she insisted.
Cole was confused, but he did as she asked. He slowly pulled out of her warmth and stumbled off the bed. He didn’t know what he’d done, but he wasn’t going to continue if she didn’t want it.
She flashed him the sexiest of smiles and got up on all fours. His eyes widened as he realized she was facing a mirror at the end of the bed. “It’s my favorite position,” she said as she reddened a little. “And I like to watch.”
He growled and launched himself at her. On his knees behind her, he gripped her hips and slowly entered her. He watched her in the mirror. As he slid inside, inch-by-inch, her mouth dropped open, and her eyes closed with laden desire. Her long hair covered her, and he took and hand and swept the hair to one side.
“I want to see those beautiful breasts swing when I plow you,” he muttered.
Her eyes flew open, and she cried out when he was fully inside her. He felt her muscles contract around him, and his body quivered. His wolf liked her. He wanted to come out and play.
Still, he held his wolf at bay. He didn’t want to hurt her or terrify her. He swung his hips back and forward, sliding the full length of his cock out of her warm and wet pussy. It was heaven.
The little noises that she made when he buried himself inside her again were driving him crazy. He wanted to hear more. He wanted them louder.
“Fuck, baby,” he moaned.
“Harder,” she hissed.
Gritting his teeth, he swung his hips harder. She cried out. “Oh God. Harder. Please.”
Digging his nails into her hips, he complied, and he almost lost control as he slid into her. She pushed her ass back. “Harder, Cole. Please, fuck me harder. I know you want to.”
That did it. He saw his eyes flash yellow and inside, his wolf howled, and he leaned over her and began to pound her.
“Fuck, yes,” she screamed. “So good. Oh, God, I think I’m going to break.”
“Baby,” he panted. “Fuck. FUCK!” They both panted and moaned as he kept up the pace, and he could feel his balls start to tighten. But God, he wanted to feel her come again. He reached and raked a nail over her clit.
Her body bucked, and he watched as her mouth opened. “Come for me baby. Come, and scream my name,” he demanded as he did it again.
She shoved her whole body backwards, bowed her back, and screamed his name as her body shook. Her muscles spasms squeezed him, and he howled as he slammed into her one last time and emptied himself inside her.
Sasha closed her eyes as she tried to catch her breath. Cole had fallen to the bed, and he’d pulled her on top of him. For a few minutes, there was nothing they could say. They were both beyond spent.
And what could she say? The sex had been incredible, but they both knew that. She’d felt a connection unlike anything else. Body and soul.
She couldn’t keep denying it. She knew nothing about him, but he was hers.
“Why did you choose to be a firefighter?” she whispered.
His hand lazily stroked her body. “It’s a good fit for my personality. I have a dominant personality, and that means I like to take charge and protect. It feels good know that I protect people.” He nuzzled her neck. “And I don’t mind a little heat.”
“What do you want in life?” She cocked her head to watch the slow curve of a smile cross his face.
Finally understand that this is where you belong?
She lightly hit him. “I’m just trying to get to know you. Answer the question.”
“I want to know that I can protect my mate. I want to raise a litter of pups, and I want to have a life where everyone I care about is loved and safe.”
She felt her heart start to beat a little faster. But of course he would say that. That’s what she wanted to hear.
But somehow, she knew it was the truth.
“You don’t have to believe tonight. Just tell me that you’ll give me the chance to prove it to you,” he whispered.
“Okay.” She paused. “Do you always partially shift during sex?”
He turned to stare at her. “Noticed that, did you?”
She shrugged. “I told you. I like to watch.”
“No, it doesn’t normally happen. My wolf liked what he saw. He liked when he felt. And he wanted to experience it a little more. I tried to keep it from happening. I didn’t want to hurt or scare you.”
She bit her lip and traced a finger around his nipple. “You didn’t hurt me. It was the best sex I’ve ever had. And seeing you lose control like that, it kind of turned me on.”
She heard a low rumble in his chest, and she shrieked just a little when he flipped her over and settled his weight on top of her. Her jaw dropped open when she felt his hard length settle between her thighs. “So soon?”
He nipped at her shoulder. “That’s what you do to me. God, I want you in my arms. I want to be inside of you all the time.” He raised his head. “But I know you’re probably sore.”
He tried to lift off her, but she raised her legs and trapped him in them. “I’m already wet,” she admitted.
He probed at the entrance, and she lifted her hips. Slowly, he sank down in her.
Before, they were wild and untamed. But now, he was unhurried as he slowly pulsed inside her. She felt sexy and luxurious as she stretched her body to test the different angles. She mewled. God, he felt good.
His skin was warm under her fingers, and she explored him without hesitation. Where she was soft, he was hard. The muscles rippled under her touch, and she moaned. There wasn’t a single part about this man that she didn’t love.
Love.
The word wrapped around her as he touched his lips to hers. As much as she might want to deny it, she’d felt it the first time she’d laid eyes on him. This wasn’t a blind date that turned into a forever kind of love. This was the man she was always meant to be with.
He manipulated her hips up, and he she cried out as he touched that spot. Christ. It was going to be death of her. She swung her legs up higher and was rewarded as he sank deeper in her.
“I love the noises that you make,” he muttered. “Fuck, baby, I think they actually make me harder.”
She panted. “You’re the reason I’m making these noises,” she pointed out. “That cock is so good. And you’re tongue,” she sighed as his tongue swirled around her nipple.
He pulled her hips off the bed as he cradled her, and he began to thrust quicker. At first they were shallow and teasing, but soon he was pounding her. She gasped and cried out, and as the tension built, he changed the angle again.
There. He was hitting both spots in one thrust.
She clawed at his back. “Cole,” she cried out. “I can’t handle it,” she gasped. She struggled to hang on as he relentlessly drew her to the brink of madness.
“Baby, baby, my love,” she moaned. “Gonna come. Oh God, you’re going to make me come.”
“I’m close. Come with me. Together,” he murmured. She closed her eyes and released the control as he slammed into her. Suddenly, he lifted her off the bed and rocked back on his heels.
She clasped an arm around his neck, and when her whole weight settled on him, she lost it. Closing her eyes, she screamed as the orgasm rocked her, and he was gripped her hips, grounding her to him, as he let out a long guttural moan and spilled his seed inside her.
Slowly, the fell back to the bed, and she squealed when he twitched inside her.
“You are insatiable,” he muttered.
She laughed tiredly. “Can’t help it. You’ve turned me into a monster. I have a feeling I’m going to be wet for you for the rest of my life.”
He stilled on top of her.
I love you.
The words whispered around in her head, and she smiled. She was his mate. He belonged to her, and he would protect her. With a sight, she closed her eyes and let her guard down.
I love you too.
THE END
HOLD ME CLOSE
Chapter 1
“What you are suggesting Erica is a groundbreaking moment for scientists everywhere. You’ve been working very hard and it appears that all of your hard work is paying off. Preliminary tests are quite revealing. I want you to make sure that there are no hiccups before I go to the trouble of making the proper introductions.” Nigel Adams was Erica’s boss and an English transplant that had his own designs on making a billion before he was 30. His dark hair and brooding nature had given him the perfect attitude to work with a one track mind like Erica.
“I wouldn’t exactly go putting the horse before the barn. There are still a lot of tests to be done, but the preliminary results are favorable. I haven’t seen anything to indicate any problems whatsoever.” Erica was that dark haired sexy thing that had a lot of guys wondering what she wore underneath the lab coat. “I can’t tell him how excited I really am. I don’t want to get ahead of myself and this kind of breakthrough doesn’t come around very often. This could be a cure for cancer. The stem cell research that I have been doing has shown me the building blocks of the DNA of every man, woman and child on this planet. I hope that there are no miscalculations or side effects to worry about. We haven’t quite got to human testing, but maybe it’s time to move to that of something living.”
“Erica, I must admit that I was skeptical when you came to me with this. It seemed almost Frankensteinish and I wasn’t sure if I could sign off on something that would make most people cock an eyebrow at the very least. You promised that you were on the right track and it appears that is the case. We need to be careful about who we speak to about this. The best way to handle this is for the two of us to be on the same page.” In a moment of weakness, Nigel leaned in and got rebuffed for his advances. Her hand met his mouth. She stared at him disbelief that he would do something like this. “I’m sorry, I thought that we were having a moment and I got a little carried away.” Nigel had this need to make Erica succumb to all of his hidden kinky desires. He’d already envisioned her strapped down on one of these tables writhing in agony, as he whipped her mercilessly with a cat of nine tails.
Erica was not stupid and his infatuation had gone beyond that of a stalker. The only reason why she stuck around was because of the money. He was loaded and it didn’t hurt that she had the curvy figure that had made him tripping over his own tongue from the moment that they met to discuss her proposal. She used her sexuality to make men feel powerless to resist her charm. Those working underneath her would wonder what the hell they were getting themselves into. She was a taskmaster and had no problem putting people in their place whether they were her boss or not.
“I understand that you have these feelings for me, but I don’t really feel the same way. I know that’s not what you want to hear, Nigel, but it’s the one thing that I don’t think is ever going to change.” She heard him sigh with resignation and that was at least a good sign that he was willing to back down. “I was an only child going up and my father was quite strict when it came to dating. He would grill any perspective suitors mercilessly over the hot goals, until they were running out the door like their pants were on fire. I didn’t even lose my virginity until I was 20 years old and that was just because I wanted to perform what I considered to be a personal experiment. The guy was a little younger at 17, but he was the one that had me looking out my window and finger fucking myself to him mowing his lawn with no shirt on. I researched the subject matter, but that didn’t prepare me for the onrush of emotional baggage that was unleashed afterwards. I had to teach him to slow down and the 25 times that we were together, it was better each and every time, until he went off to college.”
“I know that what you say is something that you believe, but I know that if I can get you in my bed that things would change. The feeling of me thrusting against you and my cock deeply encased within the hot little hole of yours would seriously have you screaming at the top of your lungs. The one thing that I know is that I’m a consummate lover and I’m always forcing women to see outside the box.” Nigel had always had women dripping off his arms and it was the accent that had them throwing their panties at him before even the desert arrived. He had had many encounters, but the one that had gotten away was Erica.
“I have no doubt that we would have a good time, but I’m looking for more than that. I hope that this doesn’t ruin anything, but I thought that I made this very clear from the moment that I came to work with you. There was not going to be anything physical, but I have to admit that you are persistent. It’s no wonder that there’s not a girl that goes by your path that doesn’t want you. You’re pretty good to look at and if I was only into something fleeting, I would gladly spread my legs for you.” He’s not my type and I’m not looking for some pretty playboy English expatriate to turn my crank. I want something that is going to make me feel like my entire world is changing around me.” Erica turned her back on Nigel hoping that this would be the end of it, having no idea that Nigel was just as determined to take what he wanted by whatever means necessary.
“You do know that we have a lot in common. We both come from being the only child in the family. We were doted on from the moment that we were born. We also have a love of science and it’s that kind of passion that should be translated into the bedroom. Trust me, I’m never going to give up, until I hear the words that I want to hear coming from your lips. If you expect me to give up this crusade up, then you don’t really know me at all.” Nigel had seen brief glimpses of her cleavage and images of him squirting his load up all over her chest came to mind in a hurry. Glazing her like a doughnut from head to toe, while she was tied up for days on end would keep him hard for days. It was something of a fantasy that he could never relinquish. “I don’t know why you just won’t give in.”
“You dress impeccably and you have the manners of a gentleman, but underneath it all you are still a dirty boy. I’m not saying that I’m not tempted, but I am saying I think that I can hold off, until I find that one that is going to make all others pale in comparison. I want more from a relationship than just hot animal sex. Don’t get me wrong, I want that to, but all of that should come hand in hand.” Erica was that blond bombshell with an hourglass figure. She had a 5’8 frame and 160 pound body that had guys literally falling over themselves to be close to her. “I’ve had many suitors, but none quite like Nigel. He obviously fantasizes about me and I just hope that his fantasy life doesn’t get the best of him.”
“I have some business to conduct, but trust me we’re not finished with this by a long shot. I will have you and there’s really nothing that you can do about it. You may think that you have control but once you give up the reins to somebody else,
you’ll feel so much better about yourself.” The image of his seed dripping off her face and the look of contempt after the deed was done was what he lived for. He loved to seduce with his words and then surprise them with some of the hidden toys in his closet of sexual delights. The woman would usually leave feeling ashamed and aroused at the same time. “It’s just a matter of time and I will wear you down. That’s a promise that I’m going to live by.”
“I always thought that it was a blessing that you accepted me into this program. I showed you a woman that was not only beautiful, but had the intellect that was far superior over others. I gave you no reason to doubt that my claims couldn’t be proven. I’ve been working on this for years and now that we see the finish line, you decide now that you’re going to do more than just flirt. Why would you try to ruin this good thing between us? I could take my research and go someplace else. I didn’t sign any kind of nondisclosure agreement and I wouldn’t have come to work with you had you even brought it up.” I don’t want him to get the wrong idea and I’m grateful, but I’m not going to show him that with my body on the line. The one thing that my mother did teach me growing up before she died was to respect myself. If I didn’t, then nobody was going to do it for me. My father on the other hand believed that I should find some rich tycoon to settle down with, but that was not how I was made.”
“I’m just trying to make a good thing even better. Why you are resisting is beyond me. Every woman loves pleasure and I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve had several scream to god about my prowess. You might be curious or even tempted, but you have yet to throw caution to the wind and it’s about time that you do.” Resisting him was giving him license to believe that the hunt was still on. Seeing her every day was like dangling a piece of raw meat in front of a slobbering and hungry dog. It was cruel and unusual punishment. Once she did finally succumb, he was going to make her realize just what kind of mistake she made. He had seen her walk to her car several times and that feeling of coming up behind her and kidnapping her for days on end to satisfy his carnal lust was feeding into his fantasies like never before.
