I had no thought of doing it before I did it, and afterward I could scarcely believe what I had done. It snapped his head to one side. My hand stung. I watched him, trying to calm my breath.
Slowly, he turned his head back at me, his attack mode still switched on. My knee lifted, the intent as clear as day. Fast reflexes had him blocking it before I hit him in the balls, but he wasn’t able to block my push. It sent him backward, but not alone as he caught my arm before I could move.
He toppled hard, grunting when his back hit the ground. A jolt of pain came as I crashed on top of him. Before I could scramble back up, he was rolling us around until I was the one on my back, and he was the one on top of me. He caged me in, holding my hands up over my head and locking my legs underneath.
“Carter, no,” Terror scolded as if his brother was a puppy. I felt blood coming down on my face and heavier weight pressed against me. Carter pushed back with a roar, and Terror fell on the ground right next to Venom’s limp body.
As Carter bared his teeth at me, approaching my neck, I had one last weapon to use.
My kiss.
Closing my eyes, I held my breath and pressed my lips to his bloody ones.
Nothing happened in the next second. I thought he’d already sunk his teeth in my flesh, and I died. Okay. That was fast.
A grunt vibrated on my mouth, the metallic taste blood rushing in. I opened my eyes as I came to terms that I hadn’t been dead yet. Carefully, I tried to slip my hands off his hold. He let me.
My gaze locked on his as I stretched shaking arms around him. He grunted again, his lips closing, yielding, shielding me from the roughness of his teeth. Then they moved with me, shivered with me in the most intense kiss I’d ever had.
Slowly, his hands made their way up my sides until they settled along the outside swell of my breasts. I let out a deep sigh, erasing all thoughts from my mind except those of how good his hands felt on my body.
“Professor,” Terror whispered, but it sounded like he wanted to ask if I’d lost my fucking mind.
I guess, I have.
I didn’t want to break the eye contact with Carter. I held out a hand to Terror. It was a moment or two before he took it. I squeezed it, letting him know I was fine.
More than fine.
My mouth watered as my fingertips traced Carter’s hard abs. The contours of his chest. The smooth lines of his biceps. His tattoos that went all the way to…everywhere.
His body loosened up bit by bit under my touch. He moaned. Without warning, he took hold of my waist and flipped us over so that I was on top of him. I straddled him, his naked erection throbbing against me, his eyes filled with lust…and something…human.
“You were right. Happy works,” he said.
My heart jerked and pounded hard as a troubled laugh exploded out of my throat. When my lips sobered, I crushed them onto his.
He kissed me back, but wrapped it up a little too soon. “It’s okay. I’m back. You don’t have to…”
“I want to,” I said, too fast. God, he was beautiful. Handsome was too weak and colorless a word. “Unless you don’t want—”
He silenced me with his mouth on mine and his hands undressing me. Instantly, my nipples hardened as the cold breeze passed over the thin lace of my bra. I shuddered into him. His hands ran across the fabric, and my nipples strained toward his palms, threatening to rip right through the lace.
“Fuck,” Terror murmured. “Dasher will flip.”
I moaned so I wouldn’t listen. The adrenaline level in my body was making me reckless and impulsive, and I didn’t give a shit. I was going to die. Twice in the past hour. Dasher could cut me some slack or go fuck himself.
CHAPTER 34
MAD DOG
I unhooked her bra and let her tits go free. Reaching between them, I massaged and squeezed. The way they felt in my hands, and the way her big, dark nipples pressed hard into my palms took me to another level of madness. The kind I never wanted to end.
I sank my big fingers into her supple flesh, squeezing harder. My thumbs raked across the nipples. I loved the way she moaned into my mouth. The taste of my real name on her breath. The way she was grinding into me…so fucking sexy.
Breaking our kiss, I pulled her up so that those gorgeous tits were in my face. I licked and sucked them. She put her hands on the sides and pushed them together so that I could go back and forth quickly from one nipple to the other. I loved how experienced she was.
My fingers tore at the button on her pants. “Take them off or I’ll rip them,” I said, my voice hoarse. She quickly stood and pulled them and her panties down.
