gathered her close. He teased her lips intending to go
slow, but when she opened for him he couldn’t help himself.
Slipping his tongue inside the warm cavern, he stroked and
explored, the tang of alcohol mixing with her sweetness.
He slid his hands
around her body and leaned in, pressing her back against the seat.
She shifted around and rubbed her calf against his leg while
skimming her hands up and down his back. Grabbing the edge of her
shirt, he pulled it up then smoothed his palm over her stomach. It
quivered at his touch and excitement flared within him. His wolf
narrowed its eyes, intent on its goal. A growl rose in his throat
and she responded with a whimper, clutching him even more closely.
She was eager, nervous yet willing.
“ Yes,” his
wolf murmured. “A female for us.”
Reno broke the
kiss and gave his head a small shake, warning his wolf to remain
controlled before returning to nuzzle Brandi’s neck. He couldn’t
seem to get enough of her scent, inhaling deeply so that it filled
him, reaching out to every corner of his being. It wrapped around
him, breaking down his reserves and he revelled in the sense of
freedom that burst to life inside him.
“ She is for us.
With her we can be ourselves, wild and unrestrained.” The beast
within growled at him, but before he could respond, Brandi pulled
his mouth to hers again and the sliding of lips and tongues made
all else fade from his mind.
Soon their hearts
were pounding, their hands pulling at the barrier of cloth that
separated them.
Breaking the kiss,
Brandi gasped. “Inside. Now.”
They stumbled from
the car and moved to her apartment. Reno had only the vaguest
impression of her home—cheap furnishing, a student’s
dwelling—before she led him to her bedroom. As the door clicked
shut, desire took over until all that existed was the inferno of
feeling between them.
How they ended up
naked on her bed he didn’t know or care. She was there beneath him,
her hair spread out on the pillows like a fiery halo, her green
eyes staring up at him hungrily. Her skin gleamed in the moonlight
that illuminated the room, every curve seductively calling for him
to worship her.
How could one
female be so beautiful? So desirable? He skimmed his hands down her
body, her moans of delight driving his own desire ever higher until
he could barely think. She was everything he’d ever dreamed of,
warm and soft and lush.
Only at the last
minute did he remember to don a condom before sliding between her
willing thighs and sinking slowly into her hot body. As her walls
enclosed his throbbing shaft and her gasp filled his ears, he
shuddered, fighting against his wolf’s urgings to possess, to
mark...
Reno moved his
hips deliberately, drawing out the moment, listening to her sighs
and moans of pleasure. The sound wrapped around his heart, but he
couldn’t concentrate enough to wonder why. Feeling was all that
existed. A delightful pressure was building inside him, starting at
the base of his spine, and expanding with every slow thrust.
Skin sliding
against skin, warm and wet. Panting breaths, inarticulate sounds.
Brandi was clutching at his back, urging him onward while his own
wolf was pushing impatiently at the restraints he imposed.
The animal wanted
out. His jaw ached as his canines partially extended. Reno shook
his head and tried to force them back. No. No biting. Despite the
command he found himself shifting position. His hands were no
longer on her hips; they were bracing his weight on either side of
her head. He was leaning forward, eyes focussed on the slim column
of her neck.
Brandi whimpered,
her head thrown back, her throat exposed. He licked the vein at the
side, then ran his teeth over the area not breaking the skin, but
wanting to, desperately. His body shook with the need and he jerked
his head back, clenching his jaw.
What the hell was
going on? A moment of clarity had him questioning his own actions.
This had never happened to him! His hands
