She felt

Raising the hand not gripping the post, she hesitated, mindful of his aniers hovering so close to his mouth "Promise"

"Even if I" She didn’t kno to say what it was she wanted to say

"Even if you suck on asm Even then"

A wave of red fire swept across her vision at the idea of playing with him that way, a way so scandalously intimate she’d never before been able to understand the attraction it held for huet fro hi hi in itself Maybe too powerful a drug "Ithey tried

"I’ll stop you before you go too far I won’t let you be helpless"

"Too far" was no longer the solid line it had once been "I have to trust you"

"Yes" No obfuscation, nothing but blunt truth

Her fingers brushed his lips as he finished speaking and she waited for the rush of fear Of pain It ca fro full rein It was so extreme, so raw, that it buried the fear and pain under an avalanche of pure sensation And she was free

She pressed against his lips and he parted theer inside The suction of hisflesh between her legs "How?" Shaken by the intensity inspired by such a sier out

His teeth threatened to bite, but released her after a painless graze "Because it’s ance of his response, but there was so that felt like truth Sucking in a jagged breath, she followed her fingers as they whispered hesitantly over his shoulders

He blazed, as if his body burned for hers, as if he’d keep her warht Startled by the seduction of the idea, she alo so easily "I ahn replied, "Yes, you are"

Her fingers spread through the golden hair on his chest and she felt the beat of his heart under her pal, steady, a little fast He was as affected by this wild hunger as she was, but he wasn’t scared Because he, too, ild

Her own pulse was everywhere In her head, in her s, in every inch of her perspiration-da herself and she didn’t care Her hn as she leaned toward him and breathed deep It was a rush, an addiction she hadn’t even been aware of having Her nipples had tightened long ago, but now they seeainst her bra as if her breasts had swollen and there was too e to squeeze her own flesh and ease the ache Under her palhn’s pulse kicked hard She looked up to find his eyes glowing frorowled, and it was a growl She should’ve been afraid of the ani past doing what she should

"No" If he touched her, it was all over

He growled again, low in his throat, but didn’t break his word The ripped the roof edge even harder So th and it was at her co her blood to fire?

Returning her attention to his body, she finally released the death grip she had on the post and slid both hands down his chest He , no one, had ever proer in her

"Do it," he ordered

She knehat he wanted - the thick length of hier that surprised But not enough to stop her Unconsciouslycloser, she left one hand on his ribs while the other slid down to ski his erection

He sucked in a sharp breath, his body thru with tension Captivated, she repeated the h the blood fury of pure sensation as she traced the proud evidence of his maleness one ers to hold hiers co so thick fit in her body? And as she consumed with the curiosity to find out?

He hadn’t said a word since that last barked command, his entire body supple stone that beat for her alone In her hand he was al his hardness delicate, surprising her She hadn’t thought her jaguar would be delicate anywhere That was the last coherent thought she had

She ran her closed fist up and down his engorged length, indulging the anier, need, and sex Her breasts hurt so badly that she ached to rip off her clothing and rub herself against his chest, but that wouldhim and she didn’t want to All she wanted was to squeeze and stroke over and over And over again

"Stop, Faith"

She shook off the unwelcos she wanted to do to hiold of his chest and taste the sweat and heat so tely close Maybe she’d even take off her own clothes as a prelude to pasting her body flush against his

"Baby, stop" A hand knotted in her hair
