That was when Cara felt his cock.Hewashard at her back, but she felt itpulse, like there was a heartbeat inside.
Warmth swarmed her cheeks, her eyes going half-lidded.It was such a natural, animalistic response…but it feltright.
Her movements against him grew exaggerated, more frenzied.She heard him bite back a groan as she twisted her body against him and Cara’s nipples peaked into hard points.Devix’s arm brushed against them, making her want to gasp out loud as a stinging pleasure wound her body tighter and tighter.
“Female,” he gritted in her ear, his voice a dark velvety thing that aroused her even more.“What are you doing to us?”
She thought it strange he phrased it like that, but it didn’t stop her from gasping, “I—I don’t know.”
Another groan rumbled from his chest when she squirmed against him.
“Devix.”His name was torn from her throat in a sharp, husky rasp.His name was a question that she desperately needed the answer to.
Cara felt the sharp tip of his nose trace the sensitive column of her throat.Devix inhaled deeply and a shiver racked her body, finding the action strangely erotic.
“You are aroused for your male,” he growled against her throat and Cara felt those words burrow inside her.
“W-what?”
“I can smell you, female,” he murmured.“You need to mate.”
Cara inhaled a sharp breath.He couldsmellher?
Suddenly it made sense.Why he’d reacted to her in the hallway a couple days ago…because she’d been aroused then and he’d been able tosmellit.
Oh my God.
Her struggles against him resumed, slightly mortified that he could sense something so intimate.
“And are you volunteering to help me with that?” she couldn’t help but ask.“After all, I believe you said you still have time to fuck me.”
A growl sounded behind her and Cara managed to connect with one of his shins.His grip loosened just enough to let her wiggle out of them, no doubt catching him by surprise.
And then she ran, doing exactly what he’d told her to do.
Only she didn’t make it very far.
Cara let out a small cry of surprise when she went downhardon the rubber mat in the center of the room, her breath whooshing out of her.Immediately, she rolled, kicking out her legs, connecting with his chest, making him grunt.
But he wasn’t deterred.With a speed that surprised her, he pinned her down, flat on her back, his hips sinking down to hold her in place.
Cara’s lips parted, a strand of her hair sticking to the side of her forehead.Her chest heaved hard, brushing his own.
Devix’s eyes were wild and his horns were completely straight, something she’d never seen.They tangled in her hair when he leaned down to rasp in her ear, “Iwouldfuck your cunt so hard you’d feel me for the rest of time.But I also know you wouldlikeit.You would drag your blunt little claws down my back, bloodying me, as you begged for more.”
Cara’s hips raised against him, as if her body wanted just that.She forced herself to still.The blade was still clutched in her hand and he was distracted, possibly for the first time.So he didn’t realize that she’d just commandeered the upper hand until she tucked the blade underneath his granite jawline, the sharp edge a centimeter away from his neck.
Devix stilled and slowly, he pulled his head back until he could look down into her eyes.Cara’s arm followed, never allowing the blade to leave its position.
“Good,luxiva,” he murmured softly, in the same voice that had said those dirty, mesmerizing things in her ear.
Cara wondered whatluxivameant in his language.She liked the sound of the word rolling off his tongue and she pressed the blade harder into his neck until the edge was against his skin.
“Have you thought about it often?” she whispered, cocking a brow, feeling a strength infuse her bones, an addictive feminine power over a male.
“Fucking you?” he growled.
“Yes,” she whispered, her knees widening slightly until he was wedged between them.“How often?”
