eyes. I feel like it shines just for me. That he wonders how he got so lucky--every time he looks at my face.
Honestly, he said, “You make me crazy. It’s only fair.”
“Could have fooled me.” I couldn’t tell I was making him crazy. I mean, his whole body had been very still--just his tongue and head moving.
The growl rose up from down in his groin. I felt it roll up between us. He asked, rather dangerously, “Don’t taunt me into showing you how crazy I feel. I’m trying to make this pleasant.”
I felt like I’d had my whiskers popped. Confused. I ‘pussed’ my lips.
Bark growled again, rocked into me so he could reach my mouth with his.
I have never been kissed like what he does. I mean, I never know what he’s gonna do next. Hard kiss, soft kiss. Tongue. Eat me alive. Always leaves me guessing. And every time I think I know how to meet him in the middle, he changes on me.
It’s good and it’s bad.
Makes him happy to know he’s got me like that. I know, because he chuckles every time he sees that look in my eyes. I stopped asking, “What the hell are you doing? I can’t keep up.” Or... “I don’t know how to--” Cut off with another kiss. Or the damn flick of a tongue to my nose.
He totally enjoys himself at my expense.
And truth? I love the pleasure it brings him. I smile like an idiot in wonderland the whole time.
There is nothing neater than feeling him rumble from deep down while he has me pinned. While he looks down on me in delight--at the prospect of all he wants to do to me--all he plans to do to me.
I revel in it. I just want to sigh, look up at the ceiling and thank Gaia. I never knew love--making love--could be so sweet.
Not that I’d ever tell him.
Sweet?
He wouldn’t believe I said the word.
The minute I thought it, I realized I had to do something. But really, that’s how fast he had me. How long had we known each other at that point? Not very long.
I screwed up my face and said, “Get on with it, or get off of me.”
So, you wanna see shock? You wanna see an instant change?
Chapter Five
Bark looked like he’d been slapped.
Then he tore into me. Lashed back. “You like it rough, puss? I can show you that.”
Let me tell you, I never knew what pawing was before that.
I panicked. I mean, he totally let loose. Flipped a fucking howl on me. That’ll chill a cat’s bones, get a girl scratching. And that--fighting back?--probably incited him more.
Not that he hurt me. Cause he didn’t. But I sure felt like he could, any second.
All I know is...it took nothing to get my clothes ripped off of me. Shredded. If I’d had my eyes open, I could tell you if he shape-shifted on me a little. I’m pretty sure he did.
I rolled, protecting, trying to draw my knees up, and kicked a little.
And he...not kicking me, just moving his legs over mine, trying to weigh me down. Probably protecting himself. Yeah. It’s a little funny when you try to picture what actually happened there. He growled repeatedly.
Go ahead. Laugh. It makes me snicker when I think about what I thought, and what I think he thought. Because, really, I don’t think either of us were thinking much at all. We were just reacting to one another. And the fact that we were nuts for each other....
And really scared about what we were feeling. I can admit that, now.
It took him a minute to get through his little mini-rage, and to realize that I was scared and clawing because of that. Next thing I knew, he had a hold on my wrists, nailed those above me, had his tree trunk body full down on me.
You see, until then, I never realized how much control he’d been using--how much physical strength he used just to keep
