Tammy unfastened her jeans, and moved to push them down her thighs, but his hand was there, gripping her wrist, halting the movement.
“You’re not a ho,” he said again softly. “If you’re spiraling, okay. If you need to lose your mind for a little while, okay. I can do that.” He shook his head. “But don’t go into this calling yourself a name.”
She let off a soft sigh and got lost in his inhuman gaze. “Tomorrow, you never have to talk to me again. You never have to worry about being trapped by me. I’m on birth control. You don’t have to worry about my feelings. I don’t like you in that way.”
His eyebrows dragged down, and he dipped his gaze to her lips. “You just lied to me.”
“What? I really am on birth control.”
“Not that part. You said you don’t like me in that way, but I can hear a lie. You lied.”
“I want to lose my mind,” she said sternly. Tammy reached for him and cupped his cock. It was hard and pushing against the zipper of his jeans. She smiled. “Want to lose your mind with me? Just one night, and then you never have to see or talk to me again.”
He released her wrist and slipped his hand to her waist. “If I lose myself in you, how do I know I won’t want to feel it again?”
She admitted to a fear. “Maybe I’ll be bad at this.”
He chuckled darkly and shook his head. “Not possible. You’re very, very good at this.”
Heat crept into her cheeks with pleasure. She liked that. “It’s been a while since I—”
“Shhh,” he whispered, dragging her waist closer to him. “Thinking stops now.”
And oh God, this was so hot being close to such a powerful man. A powerful man with no strings attached. A forbidden coupling. He wasn’t even human, and his kind didn’t mix well with her people. It felt rebellious to be sliding her hands up under his T-shirt.
A one-night stand.
No feelings.
No attachment.
No worrying about him not calling tomorrow.
No worrying about anything.
She could do this. Shewantedto do this. Her body was tingling with desire for him already.
Up, up, her touch traveled, up over the chiseled six pack to his stone-hard pecs. Tawk pulled his shirt over his head and let it drop to the kitchen floor, then gripped her wrists and pulled her hands back to his chest. His breath came faster, and his eyes were such a bright gold, it was hard to look away from them. He dragged the palm of her hand to his mouth and bit down gently, and oh the sensation inside of her stomach. He slid his hand to the back of her neck and dragged her to him, pressed his lips against hers and drank her in. The first few laps of his tongue against hers was shocking to her system, but she closed her eyes and melted into it.
No thinking.
She could do that.
Without breaking their kiss, he smoothly pulled her hands over his shoulders, where she hugged him closer. Oh, this mancould kiss. He was kissing the devil right out of her. Oh, he was good. She’d made the right choice in him.
Why was the rumble emanating from his chest so damn sexy? Why was she getting turned on by touching a shifter? She’d never been a shifter-chaser, but there was something so powerful and magnetic about him. The kitchen disappeared as he wrapped his powerful arms around her waist and lifted her off the ground. She wrapped her legs around him instinctively and hugged him so close as he kissed her again, and again. He carried her to the kitchen table and swiped his powerful forearm across it. The stack of mail and the plastic cup of water went flying, and he sat her down on the table gently.
Ooooh a kitchen-table-fuck? A trill of excitement trembled through her. She’d never done this before.
His body covered hers, and his weight was such a comfort. His skin was smooth and warm against hers. The snap of her bra had her arching her back more so he could pull the lace material from her. He deepened the kiss, tongue thrusting hard as he ground his hips against hers, and then he eased back to look down at her tits. Hunger sparked in his glowing eyes as he lifted his wicked smile back to her. “Perfect,” he whispered.
The reaching sensation in her middle stretched and filled her, and God, she thought she could die happy right now.
He moved down her body and dragged her nipple into his mouth, sucked gently as he massaged the other. She got lost in this, eyes closed to the world as she moaned.
It wasn’t until she felt his biting kisses moving down her stomach that she tensed. “I’ve never done that,” she rushed out, propping up on her elbows. “If you don’t want to, you don’t have to—”
“Shhhh,” he said. “Stop thinking.”
