back his head to flash her a grin filled with wicked promise. “But trust me, I don’t need an aphrodisiac to make you hot and bothered.”
She dug her nails into the smooth skin of his shoulders. “Don’t mock me.”
He continued to tease her nipple, rubbing his cock with flawless precision against her. Oh…shit. It felt good. Violently, insanely good.
“Mocking is not what I want to be doing with you,” he said, kissing a path between her breasts.
“Talon.”
With a low groan, Talon lifted his head to claim her lips in a kiss that demanded complete surrender. Hunger blasted through her, searing away any hope of resistance.
“Before this night is over I intend to hear you scream my name,” he husked against her lips. “Over and over.”
She pressed against his erection in blatant invitation. “You talk a big game, but how do I know you can deliver?”
He chuckled, blazing a path of kisses down her throat. “Don’t ever challenge a Pantera, darling. I might not ever allow you out of my bed again.”
She instinctively shied from his possessive tone.
“I’ll leave your bed whenever I want to,” she warned, deliberately rubbing against his cock. She smiled at his violent shudder of pleasure. “And if you think you can manipulate me with sex, you’d better think again.”
“Isi,” he growled, his eyes narrowing. “Can you stop searching for an insult in everything I say?”
“I just don’t want you assuming—”
His hands moved over her body, his mouth planting restless kisses between her breasts and down the quivering plane of her stomach.
“There’s no assumption,” he rasped. “Just you and me. Let yourself go.”
Isi gasped when he grabbed her by the waist and before she knew what was happening, she found herself perched on the edge of the table with Talon kneeling between her spread legs. Leaning forward, he dipped his tongue into her belly button, a shocking bolt of pleasure aiming straight between her legs.
Holy shit. Talon truly was a Hunter.
He went straight for the kill.
She planted her hands on the table behind her, feeling as if she was being assaulted with sensations. The bold exploration of his hands, the moist caress of his tongue, the heady musk that stirred her senses.
It was like being tossed into the middle of a raging vortex.
“Just for tonight,” she managed to rasp.
He lifted his head to stare at her with open amusement. “You won’t budge an inch, will you, Isi?”
“Never.” Way past the point of no return, Isi decided the only thing left was to give in to the inevitable. Running her hands up the curve of his neck, she plunged her fingers into his hair. “Now shut up and prove you’re more than just talk.”
***
Hell no, she didn’t just go there.
What Pantera could resist a blatant challenge to his manhood?
Especially if proving his manhood meant taking this female over and over, until she was too sated with pleasure to move.
Of course, he would prefer if she wasn’t watching him with that wary defiance, as if convinced he was plotting some nefarious means to hurt her. Not that he could blame her. He’d given her little reason to trust him.
Something that was going to change.
Gently spreading her legs wider, Talon allowed his hands to skim up her bare thighs, his gaze drinking in the sight of the tiny scrap of lace that was all that hid her delectable pussy.
His heart thundered as his fingers headed toward the sweet spot, feeling off-balanced by the intensity of his desire.
He expected the male part of him to be ready and eager to have sex with this female. Even when he was trying to convince himself she couldn’t be trusted, he was battling his ruthless desire. But the hunger of his cat was unexpected.
He’d never had his animal so close to the surface during sex. It was intensely erotic to have his pleasure echoed within the cat.
He didn’t question why his animal would be so intensely fascinated by Isi.
Not when he was
