Her hand slid over him again and his hipsarched against her. Another groan escaped him; the lids of his eyeslowered but he continued to watch her as she touched him. Therewould be no turning back. She knew that; she couldn’t play with himin such a way, notthisman. She didn’t know where thiswould all lead, but for the first time in her life, she welcomedthe unknown. Welcomed being able to touch and hold him in such away.
“Take it out,” he commanded gruffly.
Hesitance flickered in her eyes when theymet his. Ian didn’t breathe as he watched her and waited to see ifshe would step away from him, or continue on. Her eyes held his;she bit on her bottom lip. Her fingers shook when she unbuttonedhis jeans and slid the zipper down. Fighting the urge to grab her,lift her up and sink himself into her, Ian curled his fingers intothe wall. He hadn’t been satisfied with a hand job since he wasthirteen years old. However, he found himself looking forward toher hand wrapping around him right now, more than any of the sexualexperiences he’d had with any other woman.
Her uncertainty glittered in her eyes as shewatched him. Bent over like he was, her head was at his shoulders,her mouth inches away from his. He intended to watch her everysecond she discovered him. Her gaze drifted away from him andtoward his dick. She’d pushed his jeans down on his hips, but hisboxers were still up. His pulse beat in his temples as he waitedfor her to finally make a move, and then her hands slid over theflesh of his sides. She tugged his boxers lower.
Her breath hissed into her as she gazed athis massive cock. It stood straight up, away from his body, a goodeight inches long, if not more, and so thick she doubted her handwould wrap all the way around it. The man himself was one of thebiggest she’d ever seen; she shouldn’t be surprised by howwell-endowed he was. Even still, she couldn’t stop herself fromgawking at it like an idiot. A single bead of clear liquidshimmered on the head of it, beckoning for her to touch him.
Ian would have chuckled over her slack jawedand bug eyed reaction, if he hadn’t felt as if he were going toexplode. The woman had barely touched him; yet he was more turnedon than he’d been the night he’d had a foursome with three women.No one had ever managed to arouse him this much; he’d neverrealized it could be possible. He opened his mouth to tell her toput him out of his misery, but he bit the words back and waited tosee what she would do.
The seconds stretched into a full minutebefore she slid her fingers over the head of his dick. He jerkedbeneath her touch; his teeth clamped together. Ever so slowly, herhand wrapped around him. Bits of wood fell away beneath hisfingertips when they dug into the wall.
She’d been right; her hand didn’t come closeto completely encompassing him. His hips surged forward within hergrasp. Her thumb rubbed over his silken head, spreading the liquidfrom the bead over his soft skin before sliding her hand down histhrobbing shaft. The feel of him intoxicated her, but even moreintoxicating was the reaction he had to her touch. His eyes blazedwith fire, his biceps flexed beside her head as he hungrily watchedher. Instead of being frightening, she found the red of his eyesenthralling.
She continued to explore him, her handcaressing him as his hips moved with her motion. She hadn’tbelieved it possible, but he swelled more within her grasp. Thepulse of his blood flowed beneath her fingers. “Harder,” hegroaned. “Yes,” he murmured when she grasped him more firmly. “Youpictured me inside of you Paige, but all I see is the beauty ofyou, now, like this.”
The quickening of her body was back; awetness spread between her legs at his words. Her control over him,his words and his motions, aroused her further. She could feel hisrestraint unraveling as his hips thrust more forcefully toward her.His hand fell away from the wall to encircle her hand on his dick,he began to work hers faster up and down his shaft, showing herwhat he liked. Releasing her hands, he flattened his against thewall again and forced himself to let her take control once more. Alow groan escaped him; his entire body jerked when she cupped hisballs with her free hand and began to massage them. He’d planned tomaintain his restraint, but when it came to this woman, he realizedhe had none.
“Fuck!” he exploded before he pressed herhand firmly against his stomach.
Beneath her palm, she felt his dick jerk inher grasp and the pulse of his cum as he finally found his release.Fascination kept her gaze locked on the corded muscles of his neck.His head had fallen back; his body trembled against her. Warmliquid trickled down over her index finger and onto his shirt.
His head fell down, his eyes were back toblue, but they still held the glint of a predator circling itsprey. Releasing his dick, she didn’t know what possessed her, butbefore she could think too much about it, and chicken out, she bentdown and swirled her tongue around the tip of his shaft. The saltytaste of his cum was more pleasant than she’d been expecting; shelicked the rest of it away before rising back up before him.
“Delicious,” she whispered.
A snapping filled the air as her eyes methis. She inhaled a harsh breath, when his eyes blazed a fiery redcolor again. She may only be a human, but she could feel the powerradiating out of him in potent waves. There was only a moment forher to register this before he was on top of her. His solid bodypressed her firmly against the wall as his mouth took savagepossession of hers. Breathing failed her, but then she didn’t muchcare about breathing as his tongue thrust demandingly in and out ofher mouth. She could feel the rigid length of his erection pressingagainst her stomach as he tasted her in greedy pulls that sent hermind spiraling and left her body quaking.
More, she wanted so much more. Herhands entangled in his hair; she pulled him against her and thrusther hips against his. She gasped when heat blazed through her fromthe delicious sensations the contact aroused in her. The press ofhis fangs against her lips only excited her more, and before shecould stop herself, she bit down on his bottom lip.
Releasing his hold on her, he grabbed holdof her wrists with both hands and lifted them over her head.Pinning them against the wall with his left hand, his right handtraveled over her arms and entangled in her shirt. He had to feelher exposed flesh against his, had to know what she felt like. Hishand bunched in her shirt, intending to tear it away from her…
Sanity crashed back over him, piercing thehaze of desire thundering through him. She washuman,hismind screamed at him, and he’d been about to go at her like she wasa vampire who could take it. He’d been about to tear her clothingfrom her and bury himself within her. To take her with the feralabandon of a wild animal, and that was exactly what he felt likearound her. He could never treat her in such a way. This wasPaige.
In one sizzling instant he understoodexactly what this woman was to him, and where this would end up ifit continued. What was happening between them could go no furtheruntil she knew the truth, and he was in no mood to discuss mateswith her right now, not while he was still trying to absorb theknowledge rocking him.
Bending down, he kissed her forehead. “It’stime for bed, Paige.” She hesitated, her fingers curled around hisbiceps as she leaned into him. He told himself not to, but his armswrapped around her and he pulled her closer. Her apple scent hadintensified with her passion. The aroma of her arousal filled hisnostrils, but he had to proceed cautiously from here with her. Thiswas no longer about protection, or sex, it was about her and them.His life,theirlives.
“Paige, you have to go.” His voice soundedas if he’d swallowed sand, but he could feel his control unravelingwith every steady beat of her heart. He pressed a tender kiss toher temple, buttoned her jeans and took a step away from her.“Before I do something I can’t take back, before I never let youwalk away from me again.”
“Ian…”
“You’re my mate, Paige.” His brusque toneand the clipped words had the effect he’d been looking for. Shetook an abrupt step away from him and into the wall. “I didn’trecognize it before, but I do now. So unless you mean to seal yourfuture permanently with mine, I’d suggest you go to bed.”
Paige stared at him in confusion. One minutehe’d been about to ease the clamoring need of her body, and thenext he was telling her she would be joined to him for an eternity.She shook her head and grabbed for his arm again, but he buttonedhis own jeans and moved further away. Her hand fell back to herside.
“Why would you think it’s me?” sheinquired.
“I don’t think, Iknow. It’s notsomething I could ever explain to you, it’s simply a feeling.You’ve been special to me since I first met you; I didn’tunderstand why, but I do now. Don’t push me on this, not rightnow.”
What had transpired between them had helpedto ease the clawing sensation inside of him, but it wouldn’t last.If she continued to stand there, staring at him like that, hecouldn’t promise he wouldn’t start kissing her again, wouldn’t tryto seal the bond he now knew existed between them.
Paige stared up at him helplessly. On onehand all she wanted was to hold him and ease the stress she sawbuilding within him again, but his words were beginning to sink in.Her hand fell limply back to her side. He didn’t know what he wassaying, she told herself. Tomorrow he would come to his senses andrealize he was wrong. Looking into his eyes, she wasn’t so certainthat was going to happen, but she couldn’t bring herself to believehim.
She liked him, alot. Ok, maybe evenmore than a lot, but to bind herself to avampirewas simplyinsane and went against everything she’d believed in. But thenshe’d just been about to screw a vampire, and two weeks ago shewould have found that completely insane too. However, she couldn’tlet it go on; not if it meant they might end up taking a path shemay never be able to come back from.
He grabbed hold of her hand when she went toturn away. “Paige…”
