Dante leaned forward so that he could press his cheek to hers and savor the feel of her delicate skin. She was totally enjoyable.
With humans, he had to hide what he was from them. But Pandora knew exactly what he was and, unlike a Katagari female, she wasn't fighting him. She responded to his caresses just as a human would. With delight and innocent trust.
It was refreshing and touched a foreign part of him deeply.
He wanted to please her in a way he'd never wanted to please anyone else.
Reaching down between them, he gently separated the tender folds of her body so that he could touch her intimately.
She cried out in ecstasy.
Her response delighted him. Dante used his powers to shield the sounds from escaping the room as he kissed his way down her body to where his hand played.
Pandora could barely think as she felt Dante spread her legs wide. It was as if every part of her was burning. Her head spun with pleasure.
And then she felt the most incredible thing of all. Dante's mouth teasing her. Hissing, she threw her head back and arched her spine as his tongue worked incredible magic on her. He sank one long, lean finger deep inside her as his tongue continued to explore every tender fold with a thoroughness that was blinding in its intensity.
Dante couldn't take his eyes off her as he watched her head rolling back and forth on the pillow. There was nothing a male of his species valued more than the taste of a virgin's climax.
His kind was known to kill for the privilege of taking a virgin, and for the first time in his life, he understood that primal desire.
The revelation shocked him. He'd always told himself that a female wasn't worth another panther's life. But as he watched her innocent, unabashed reaction to his touch, he was no longer so sure.
There was no artifice in her response. She was reacting honestly to him. Openly. And he loved it.
When she came, crying out his name, he felt something deep inside him shatter with pride and satisfaction.
Dante held her hips still, expecting to have to pull away from her.
He didn't. She lacked the violent tendencies of his kind. Instead of attacking him, she stayed on the bed, panting and purring as she continued to let her climax flow.
Pandora wasn't sure what had just happened to her. But it had been incredible. Wonderful. And it left her wanting even more from him. She still felt her body spasming as Dante continued to stroke and tease until she was weak from it.
Her hands suddenly free, she reached down and sank her hand into his long, silken hair as he gently rolled her onto her stomach.
He lightly nipped her buttocks.
"What are you doing?" she asked as he placed a pillow underneath her stomach.
"I'm going to show you what it feels like to have a male inside you, Pandora."
She shivered at the erotic image that played through her mind of Dante thrusting against her. "Please don't break my neck."
He brushed her hair aside and placed a gentle kiss on her nape. "I would never hurt you, gataki."
She shivered at his whispered words.
He lifted one of her legs up, then drove himself deep inside her. Pandora cried out as he filled her to capacity. He was long and hard, and so deep that she couldn't draw a breath.
Never had she felt anything like his fullness inside her. Of the intimacy of him touching her in a place no one ever had before.
More than that, she felt something breaking as electrical energy surged through her. Every inch of her body sizzled and hummed.
Dante ground his teeth as pleasure tore through him. He'd never felt anything better than her tight, wet heat around him. It was all he could do not to thrust himself into her hard and furiously until he was fully sated.
But he didn't want to scare or hurt her in any way.
Holding himself up on one arm, he ran his tongue over the sensitive skin of her ear and breathed lightly into it. She shivered under him.
