Placing me down gently, Theron speaks with his jaw clenched.
“Fuck it, Aila.What’s gotten into you?”
He’s super pissed, but I don’t care.
“I want to sleep with you tonight.No holds barred.Don’t you want that, too?”
In the stillness of the forest, I can hear him panting.It’s not because Theron is out of breath but because he is rabid for my pussy.In the dark, I hear him twitching and swallowing like a starving man in front of a delicious buffet.
He doesn’t even bother hiding the lust in his eyes as he stares at my semi-naked body.The desire he is feeling must be making those 501s tight in the crotch area.Tempted beyond restraint, I brush my hand over the front of his denims.Just as I suspected, Theron is rampant and bulging.
But he’s not willing to let go of his grudge.
“You tried treatin’ me like a well-trained puppy dog, Aila.Come.Go.Sit.Leave.That’s not how I roll.”
“If you wanted a tame pussycat, Theron, you would be with one.”
We’ll go toe to toe and round to round about this all night if that’s what he wants, but I have the feeling this is one fight that I am destined to win.
Growling, he grabs my upper arms, pulling me closer.
“You wanna go heavy on the animal comparisons, princess?Then you better get ready to be fucked like one tonight.”
Throwing back my hair and lifting my chin, I have nothing to hide.
“Bring it on.”
Letting his hands slide down my arms, Theron licks his lips with a lengthy, bestial lap.Then, lowering his head, he licks mine.The harsh texture of his tongue gives me goosebumps.
Our kiss is everything I could ever want it to be.In that moment, I know he’s forgiven me.He lets me know that he gets it.Gets me, and all my complicated, repressed, frightened little girl bullshit.
Instantly, my nipples get so erect, the puckering is almost painful.They are anticipating the rest of the night, knowing that Theron is going to pinch them and nibble on them until they ache.
“You okay to wait here, darlin’?”Pulling my t-shirt out of the back of his jeans pocket, Theron hands it to me.“I won’t be gone longer than a minute or two.”
“Come back soon.”
The badly behaved nymph that I usually keep hidden away inside me peeps out again.Touching my breasts, I circle my fingers around my nipples and then slowly let my hand drop under my panties.Fingering my clit, I bring my hand back up and lick the tips.“I want you so much it hurts.”
Glowering at me, Theron takes one step back.It’s as if he’s making sure the imprint of my image is burned into his brain.
“Hold that thought, darlin’.”
And then he is gone.
ChapterTwenty-Three
Theron
The blood craving inside me is so strong it seems to give me wings.Even the Riders are surprised to see me materialize in front of them so swiftly.
“Someone’s got a spring in his step.”Shadow is his normal sarcastic self.“Did you guys kiss and makeup?”
Flicking an ancient tribal hand gesture to Shadow, I ignore the jibe.Just as he laughs off my basically flipping him the bird.
“I’m taking Aila to the lavvu in the forest.We need to strategize.”
Rundas is unmoved.“Strategize my ass, Theron.The inn must always come first because it is how we integrate ourselves into the modern world.And that meansthe guestsmust come first.Aila’s ex is a guest.Nothing else matters.”
