“Do you think anyone could be after you?”
“I’m sure I’m the least of their problems right now.” Amari reached up and rubbed his neck. “Let’s not let it ruin our date night.”
He kissed her gently.
“
Ok
ay,
but I want you safe. I can start shifting and
keeping an eye on you at work if you want.”
“Great
,
let the people in Hiko go into panic mode when they see a white tiger around the town,
”
she teased.
“I wouldn’t be seen
,
dollface,”
“Let’s not push fate
.
”
She
pulled him toward the kitchen. “Now come
,
man
–
beast
.
F
eed me.”
“You
r
wish is my command.”
The serious mood was broken
,
and while he finished dinner they teased and tempted each other. Stavros insisted on feeding her
forkfuls
of pasta
,
and she dipped her bread in the leftover sauce and held it to his lips.
Who knew in a small winter town she would find the best relationship in her life
?
Later that night
,
while it was dark outside and the sound of crickets and night animals filled the air
,
they were
snuggled
inside on the old couch in the middle of his living
room. They shared popcorn and watched one of the newer movies
,
and he critiqued along the way.
“
I don’t see how people can like these cars turning into robots and having personality and intelligence.” He pointed a hand full of popcorn toward the TV. “If there are life forms out there
,
I sincerely doubt they are robots.”
Amari snorted.
“
Uh-huh
,
and men who shift into animals are really an everyday thing.
”
“But
it’s
more plausible that this,” Stavros replied. ‘The truck with big guns is cool though.”
Amari used a haughty British accent. “That’s why is called fiction
,
darling.”
She let out a squeal of surprise as he flipped her beneath him on the sofa and popcorn
flew
everywhere.
“
Y
ou
caused
a mess
.”
’
L
aughter
laced
her voice.
“I’ll clean it up later
,
but now you must be punished for being sarcastic,” he murmured. His gaze settled on her mouth before he gave it a nip. “You are so delicious.”
“
I think I like you’re kind of punishment
.
I want more
.
” Desire curled in her belly
while his hands cupped her thighs
,
pulling
her against the hardness of his cock. “Take me to bed and give it to me good and proper.”
He closed his eyes. “The thing
s
you say take me from zero to eighty in seconds.”
“I like a car with a good engine
.
” Amari bit the side of his neck and he growled. He lifted her and moved toward the bedroom. “Let me walk, Stavros
.
Y
ou’re still healing.”
“I’m healed enough to carry my woman to bed
.”
H
e kissed her hard. “Enough talk
.
I
’
m going to fuck you until you scream my name.”
“
Oh yes
,
please do,” she murmured and let her worries go.
W
hen you fell i
n love and found the perfect mat
e
, it was imprinted on your soul forever.
Amari
looked back at her past relationships and knew nothing compared to what she had with Stavros now.
She
was meant to
be
there in Hiko at that time when he was at the end of his rope. Together they made the perfect whole
,
and
her
heart felt full and complete.
He held her against him and slid her body down his until
her
feet touched the floor.
They undressed each other with sure hands
,
touching and caressing every inch of exposed skin.
Her hands slid up agai
nst his chest that was hot to the touch. For a while she thought he had
an
infection and was running a fever.
Then he
explained shifters like him always ran hotter than normal humans.
“Y
ou smell like outside
.
I swear I can smell the grass and spring on your skin,” she said. She rose up on her tiptoes to press kisses on his shoulder and neck and inhale his scent.
“I love everything about you, do you know that?”
He cupped her cheek and kissed her gently. “Amari, you make me feel like a better man.
I don’t know what you see in me.
”
“This entire world is flawed
,
and you’re better than most men,” she said
,
thinking of the gleaming white smile of the doctor who made her have to leave the only home she ever knew. He was handsome as sin but carried so much evil in side him it made him ugly. Stavros was sexy as hell and his scars made him sexier. She kissed him
once,
then twice until they both were breathing hard. She looked at him and said
,
“Trust me
,
a sexy smile can hide
the truth
in some people
for only so
long. With you
I know exactly
what I’m getting. Now
,
I thought I was going to be punished for being such a naughty girl
.”
The last few words were a seductive purr
,
and f
or her remark she got a swat on her bott
om. She
laughed
when he picked her up and tumbled her onto the bed. Amari curved one of her thighs over his hard body and ran her
toe
up and do
wn the back of his calf. A hint
of
the
popcorn
they were eating
remained
on his lips as he sampled her mouth.
He moaned as she moved beneath him sensually.
She raised her hips and rubbed against him,
and
she felt his cock hardened in reaction.
Their tongues
tangled and she sucked on his gently. He
slipped
his hand
between them and r
ubbed her clit until
her body shuddered
at
his touch.
“I want you inside me
,
” she whispe
red against his lips. “Fuck me
,
please
.
M
ake the ache go away.”
“God
,
I want to take you so hard
.
”
Kissing her hard
,
he
let himself sink into her and
she
was mesmerized by
the way
his eyes
held
her captive in his gaze. His cock bur
ied so deep inside her
,
yet he didn’t move. Amari took the initiative and undulated her hips. She was rewarded by a low growl in the back of his throat tha
t reverberated through her body.
He rubbed her nipples against his pa
lms before rolling them lightly between his thumb and forefingers. The friction caused her to arch just as he moved and thrust hard into her. A pleasure filled cry escaped her as he began to pound himself inside her and then went back to a slow teasing rhythm.
He lowered his head and gently bit her nipples and it made
her moan his name.
It was
as
if something broke free the tight rein he had on his control
,
and he kissed her senseless. They were suddenly ravenous for more, tasting,
nibbling each other’s
lips and nec
k. She could feel him trying to touch every expanse of skin on her body as if
wanted to imprint her to his memory.
“I want your cock in my mouth,” she said in a fevered tone.
She pushed him ba
ck and rolled on top of him in one smooth move.
She vaguely thought she heard him suck in his breath
,
but when he pushed her head lower to his cock she let that thought slide away. Amari
filled her mou
th with
him
and he thrust himself deeper between her lips. They became
carnal in their lovemaking. His body strained against her lip
s
,
and while she was on
her
knees he reached between her legs and sank his fingers into her snatch. She
took e
very inch of him
,
moaning hungrily as she took him in her mouth and rode the fingers that were deep in her core. She was burning for him,
her nipples so tight they ached.
“I want my taste too,” he growled.
He lifted her across his body and pressed his face between her legs. He lapped at her and sucked at her clit before penetrating her with his tongue. L
ocked together a tight sixty-nine,
rolling and twisting
,
each trying to get more. She wondered if the heat of their coupling would
burn them both alive.
“Oh sweet Jesus!”
T
he thought flashed through
her mind when she felt his
fingers join his tongue. He was taking her to the edge of reality and beyond each time he sank his digits inside her or sucked at her clit.
She
pulled away from his cock until she was kneeling over his head
with
her pussy spread wide over his face. It was then he let loose
and drove her to
madness
with
his
mouth. He pulled her down so his tongue was pressed against
her
clit. She rubbed herself
against him wantonly
,
and she felt her orgasm built and crest. S
he moaned
,
and
to her ears the
sound was like her be
gging for more
“Ride me,” he ordered.
Amari moved and
t
ook him into her sex. He squeezed the cheeks
of
her ass wi
th hard fingers as she rode him
,
and
he
pulled her down against him until she screamed and came again. Still
,
it wasn’t enough
.
S
he wanted to wring ever
y ounce of pleasure from his bod
y just as he was doing to her.
“Take me,
please
. T
ake it
all!
”
s
he cried out in earnest.
“Open your eyes
.
Y
ou know I love to see the desire in your eyes.” His voice was
a
harsh
,
passionate command. He
grabbed her waist and flipped
her under him. “Open your eyes, now
,
don’t hide from me.
”
“You belong to me, always and forever
.
S
ay it
.
” Stavros
growled as he
pounded into her body deeper
with every thrust
,
and pushed her toward another orgasm.
“You
, Stavros
.
O
nly you
,
”
she moaned in sweet agony.
“Yes, Amari
.
God yes!
”
he shouted
. “Ahhh, I’m going to come.”
