Meredith hadn’t expectedthings to get physical this fast.An hour ago, she’d thought he’d stood her up.But as Silas rose from his seat and rounded the table to stand in front of her, the evidence of his desire was impossible to ignore.Her eyes widened and her cheeks warmed.But it was what was going on inside her that made her heart race.A dull ache blossomed deep within her core, a vigorous storm of heat that made her squirm.
He tugged her wrist hard and fast, lifting her from her seat.The front of her robe brushed against his chest.
“Oh,” she said.Goddess, she was still wearing the dreadful pink robe.Without a stitch of makeup and with her hair pulled into a careless ponytail, her appearance was hardly flattering.But the fire in Silas’s eyes only burned for her.By some miracle of the goddess, she’d bewitched him.
Her lips parted as she searched his face for any sign of insincerity or uncertainty.There was none.“It seems I don’t care much about department policy either.”
He threaded his fingers into her hair, cradling her neck.His lips grazed her pulse, working their way up to her ear.“I want to be inside you, Meredith.I want to make you scream.”
“Maybe we should wait.”Was that her voice?She did not want to wait.
He ran his nose along her neck, inhaling deeply.“I don’t think we should wait.”
“As alpha, I suppose you’re used to getting what you want,” she whispered, his arousal a sweet spice in her nose.
“I am.”His mouth hovered over hers.“But what I want is for you to want me too.I want more than a fling.If you’re not ready for that, you’re worth waiting for.”
He took half a step back.The gap that formed between them left her cold.The small distance was almost painful.
Her resolve toppled like a house of cards.“I don’t want to wait.”
Sweeping forward, she rose on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his.Meredith wasn’t a virgin.She’d been kissed plenty of times.But this kiss was different.As he responded to her advance, his mouth raided hers in a territorial battle for lips and tongue.His kiss was desperate and wanting, testing her boundaries, his tongue staking claim to every corner of her mouth, his massive body bending her backward in his arms.She melted.Hot, wet heat bloomed between her thighs.Whatever he wanted tonight, she was all in, unconditionally.
She needed this.If she were honest with herself, she’d pined for Silas since they’d met.His intense attention made her feel like a queen, like someone had pulled back the shades on her life and let in the sun.She moaned.
His fingers skimmed the neckline of her robe, between the soft pink and her skin.
“I could change into something more… something else,” she whispered.She leaned back as he worked his way down her neck to the sensitive skin between her breasts.
“Are you kidding?I love you in pink,” he murmured into her skin.He untied the belt of her robe, spreading the sides wide.
He pulled back to look at her, a growl rumbling in his chest.“You are incredible.The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
She laughed, her eyes rolling toward the ceiling.“Well, not the most beautiful.I’ve seen your ex-girlfriend naked.”
His growl grew louder, more intense, and his hands gripped her waist, spanning the area from hip to lower rib.“Themostbeautiful, Meredith.”He didn’t break eye contact.“There is no one I’d rather be with than you.No one.”
His gaze traced her flesh, her face, her collarbones, her belly button.She could feel him look at her, the heat of his stare a palpable thing.His perusal finally abated at the red mound that marked her sex.
From her waist, he skimmed up her sides to cup her breasts, his thumbs flicking her nipples.The hard pearls responded to his touch, and she tilted her head back, knees going weak with every electric pulse he sent through her.
“Do you like this?”He lowered his lips to her flesh.Goddess, his tongue was an instrument.He fondled one breast while his mouth toyed with the other, coaxing her nipple out even farther.He made sure to give the opposite its due.
“Silas, by the goddess,” she whispered, her eyes closed, her face tilted toward the ceiling.“I’m on fire.”
He skimmed his hands down her sides to rest on her hips, then lowered himself to his knees in front of her.His nose traced the porcelain flesh of her lower abdomen.“Let me help you with that.”
He spread her with his fingers and licked up her center.Meredith moaned and arched, bracing herself on his shoulders.It wasn’t only the pleasure of the act itself that drove her wild.This was Silas, the First Alpha, subjugating himself before her.The idea that he wanted her, wanted her enough to do this, was an intense thrill.She felt worshipped.
Her body rocked against his mouth, her moans growing in intensity.He didn’t let up.He licked and sucked while she writhed above him.Like a pot boiling over, she swelled above the edge, her entire body stiffening, then spasming as her orgasm overflowed the sides of her being, too much to contain.Her knees buckled.Thank the goddess he was there to catch her.
He swept her into his arms.“Bedroom,” he demanded.
“Down the hall and to the left.”
Content in his arms, she leaned her face against the soft cotton of his shirt.He found her bedroom and lowered her onto her comforter, pushing her robe off her shoulders.She tossed it aside, completely exposed.
“This is hardly fair,” she said, eyeing his clothed state with reproach.She sat up, legs spread and bent at the knee, and reached for his belt.
