"Oh. I see."
He looked at her throat and then inspected one of her hands, before inspecting the other. "You don"t wear jewelry?"
"I"m not much of a jewelry person."
He smiled.
"But that doesn"t mean that I"m not a money grabber."
"Do you like designer clothes and shoes?"
"I might," she shrugged. "I"ve never owned any so I wouldn"t know."
"Are you telling me that you"d sh.e.l.l out a couple of thousand bucks for a bag?"
"h.e.l.l no! What a waste! That doesn"t mean I didn"t come here for the money though."
"You were also very honest about not being here to find a mate and about being jaded in the love department. If I can recall," he raised his eyes. "You pointed that out to me almost immediately. You didn"t want to mislead me."
She shook her head.
"When we get back to my lair, I"m writing you a check for the time you spent here. I"m paying you double what you were promised as a daily allowance, you deserve it."
"No way!" she yelled, even though he was right in front of her. "Don"t you dare even think about it."
"Why not?" His brows pulled together.
"Because everything has changed. It wouldn"t be right. I can"t take your money now."
Thunder smiled. "I rest my case. You are the best. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"I take it you"re not mad?"
"Not even close. Was there anything else? Because I would like to make love to you under the stars." Then he frowned. "Actually," he looked pained. "I"m going to f.u.c.k you first. It was a long couple of days holed up in that cave and I thought I lost you today." His chest heaved against her. "I promise to make love to you right afterwards though."
"Okay, I can live with that." She swallowed thickly. Her core tightened with need.
"Let"s get you out of these clothes." His face had a pinched look. "Before I rip them." By the intense look in his eye, she could tell that he wasn"t joking.
He helped pull her t-shirt up. It snagged on her head.
"f.u.c.king h.e.l.l!" Thunder growled.
Tammy squealed as his hot mouth closed over her nipple. "I"ve been dying to get my mouth on you." He thrust up against her, his erection snagging her c.l.i.t. She moaned some more. Then she realized that the shirt still covered her face so she pulled it the rest of the way off. It was just in time to see Thunder suck on her other nipple. "So d.a.m.ned plump," he growled.
"f.u.c.k!" he mumbled before sucking on each nipple one after the other, like he wasn"t sure which one he wanted more.
Thunder cupped her between the legs, stroking her through her pants which had long since dried. "Holy h.e.l.l," she managed to choke out between moans. It had been a long time. Normally when things got a little ... tense, she"d take care of herself. It wasn"t something she"d had a chance to do in a while though and things had been really, really tense inside that cave. He rubbed her some more, doing a stellar job considering she was wearing jeans and panties. Her moans grew louder. She was going to explode and really soon. She couldn"t wait to come. Couldn"t d.a.m.n well wait. Rub, yes, rub, yeeeees, rub ... Then he stopped to unb.u.t.ton her jeans.
"I hate you!" she growled. "Hate. You." She was breathing heavily. "So much!" she added when she caught his smirk.
"Were you about to come?"
"You know I was." a.s.shat. He certainly smiled like he knew it had been about to happen. Like he"d stopped on purpose.
"I"ll need to make it up to you." He pulled her jeans and her underwear off. "I"m not going to get you off dry-humping instead of on the end of my d.i.c.k. I want to be inside you the first time we come. Also, we"ll come together."
First time.
She flooded with wet. As in, if she"d been wearing panties, they"d be soaked.
His eyes stayed on hers. "Are you good with that?"
"Yes, good." She licked her lips. "Really, really good."
His c.o.c.k jutted from between his thighs. Thunder gave her a feral grin before positioning himself between her legs. "I won"t hurt you," his voice was deep.
She nodded. She could feel him hot and heavy between her legs. Right there. Oh G.o.d! She"d never been so turned on. Never wanted anything more.
"I promise I"ll fit," another deep rumble.
"I know. Please just ... please ..." He pushed into her, stealing her words. Stealing her mind. "Wait! Stop."
He pulled out. There were sweat beads on his forehead. He was so turned on he looked angry. "What is it? Are you okay?"
"What about a condom? I haven"t been taking my pill and it"s a bit too soon for a baby, don"t you think?"
"I would scare you if I answered that question," he paused.
Did that mean that he wanted a baby with her? It more than likely did. She waited for the panic to set in. For that icy fist of fear to tighten around her insides but it didn"t happen. All she felt was warm all over at the prospect. What the h.e.l.l was happening to her? It was too soon for feelings like these. That little voice inside her whispered that she was going to get hurt but she ignored it. Be brave!
"You"re not in heat. You won"t fall pregnant."
"Are you sure you don"t have a condom on you?" she smiled. It was a stupid joke to make at a time like this. Roxy had mentioned that shifters could scent if a woman was ovulating. They couldn"t give each other any diseases but it was ingrained in her to have the guy wear a condom. She"d never had s.e.x without one before.
"Oh s.h.i.t!" He fake-slapped his forehead. "I totally forgot, I keep a strip tucked into my a.s.s for times just like this one." Thunder looked completely deadpan, then he grinned.
If she wasn"t so turned on, so close to coming, she would have laughed. "I trust you," she whispered, then leaned up and kissed him. "We don"t need a condom."
"You sure?"
She nodded, tightening her thighs around him.
"Very sure?" He circled her c.l.i.t with the tip of one of his fingers. Tammy bit down on her lower lip and nodded. Thunder pushed back into her.
Lord up above. Lord! Oh G.o.d! Her hips rocked up like they had a life of their own. He moved slowly at first, carefully nudging his way in deeper with each stroke. He rested his weight on his forearms which were on either side of her head.
Her mouth hung open and her breathing was ragged. When he pushed all the way in, she whimpered. Another stroke and she mewled. Then she moaned. Then she mewled again.
"You feel amazing," he whispered it into the sh.e.l.l of her ear. Gooseb.u.mps popped up ... everywhere. He was moving fast now. In and out in quick succession. Hard and yet controlled.
Oh. My. G.o.d.
Using one arm, he lifted her thigh higher. Much higher. "Oh G.o.d!" she choked out. Everything began to tighten. Every part of her body. Even her hair follicles. Everything and everywhere and all at once. "I love you! f.u.c.king love you!" she shouted, as she went over the edge. After that, she couldn"t talk, couldn"t move or think, she could only feel.
Thunder groaned, his body jerked against her a couple of times. His movements slowed, his thrusts became more circular in motion. "I"m so glad you love me because being inside of you is my new favorite pastime."
Oh s.h.i.t! She hadn"t actually said that aloud had she? d.a.m.n, she had. She wished she could take it back.
Chapter 17.
Her cheeks turned pink. She chewed on her lower lip for a beat and even squeezed her eyes closed.
So s.e.xy. So his. Thunder had to stop himself from saying mine. Except he wouldn"t say it as much as he would growl it or snarl it so he kept his mouth shut.
"You know I didn"t mean it like that, right?" She spoke quickly, her eyes wide. "I told you earlier that I hated you so that was just ..."
"You can stop the cover-up. I know you meant it."
She narrowed her eyes. "I didn"t. I totally didn"t ..." Her cheeks went from pink to red.
"Mmmmm." He kissed her nose. "Just like you weren"t snuggling up to me on purpose."
"I wasn"t," she huffed. "I was asleep."
"I"m teasing you."
Tammy had her mouth open and a finger pointed at him which was some feat considering he was still on top of her. Still inside of her. His favorite place on the planet. He hadn"t been joking about that. She closed her mouth and frowned. "You are so full of s.h.i.t."
"You love it, just like you love me."
Her eyes widened and she sucked in a breath.
"I"m joking. Relax already." He nuzzled into her neck, kissing her on that sensitive patch of skin somewhere halfway between the base and her ear.
Tammy moaned. He loved the sound of her pleasure.
"One thing is for sure." He began to move, thrusting slowly.
Tammy pulled her legs up higher, she grabbed his a.s.s and squeezed. "What"s that?" Her voice was husky and breathy. "Oh G.o.d!" she moaned as he thrust a little harder.
"You"re sleeping on top of me tonight and there will be plenty of cuddling. Even more snuggling and it will be on purpose."
She giggled, the sound quickly morphed into a moan. "I would love some purposeful cuddling with you," her voice was strained.
Thunder changed the angle of penetration, sure to hit both G-spots. Tammy made a mewling noise that drove him insane. She dug her fingers into his a.s.s and ground herself up against him. He thrust back into her snug, wet p.u.s.s.y and she arched her back. f.u.c.k! Sweat beaded on his brow. He kept his thrusts slow and steady, sure to hit those spots each and every time. He pulled back so that he could watch her. Her eyes were closed, her head back, her mouth was parted. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were moving in sync with their bodies. Bouncing even though she was on her back. Her nipples were dark and so d.a.m.ned plump. He groaned, trying to hold it together. She was the sweetest, s.e.xiest female he had ever seen or been inside of. She felt so d.a.m.ned good. So right.
"Oh wow!" she moaned. "Oh wow!" All breathy. "I"m going to come again." She swallowed hard. Her eyes only managed to half focus on him. "Again." She said the word with such awe. He wasn"t nearly done with her. Not even close.
"Do it," a low growl. He forced himself to keep the tempo slow. "Come for me."
Her pupils dilated. "Oh yes. Yeeeees." He could feel her p.u.s.s.y start to flutter around him. Her flesh sucked him even deeper. His own b.a.l.l.s pulled up as she gave a long drawn out moan. She grit her teeth as she fell apart underneath him, on him.
Her wet sheath closed around him, soliciting a groan from him. She cried out as her p.u.s.s.y began to spasm. Thunder couldn"t hold off any longer. He allowed the sensations to roll through him, to consume, but not entirely. He had to keep his wits about him. Being with her like this still rocked his world even if he couldn"t completely let go. Not whilst watching out for Cloud. He growled her name, having to stop himself from proclaiming his love for her, even though he felt it so deeply that it was no joke.
Mine. He drew her closer, kissing her neck, trying hard to catch his breath.
"I do have two G-spots," she said, looking shocked. "And I think I might be addicted to s.e.x."
"Good." He continued to kiss and lick. "Because I"m addicted to you and we"re going to have a lot of s.e.x."
The next day ...
She stroked his chest, drawing lazy circles around his pecs. Tracing every indent of his abs. It felt incredible. Tammy felt incredible "How are you feeling? Maybe we shouldn"t have stayed up quite so late." She sneaked an upwards glance. There was a smile on her face. "Four times was maybe going a little bit overboard. You are still healing."
"You didn"t seem all that worried at the time."
"I couldn"t really string much of a sentence together."
He couldn"t help himself, Thunder smiled. ""Oh my G.o.d! You are f.u.c.king amazing! I"m about to come" are considered to be sentences."
"Smarta.s.s." She gave his chest a light slap.
"Careful. Slapping is considered to be foreplay."
Tammy giggled. "Everything is considered foreplay."
He had to chuckle. "You"re catching on."
Her eyes glinted in the morning light. "So," she rested her chin on his chest, looking up at him. "How are you feeling?"
"I"m perfect." He cupped her b.u.t.t cheeks and groaned. "You have an amazing a.s.s."
"Thank-you. When you say perfect, do you mean perfect as in back to normal?"
"Yup." He rubbed his hand up and down her spine. "I"m back to normal." He was nearly there on his own steam but the s.e.x had certainly helped.
"Do you still think we need to wait here to see if Cloud makes an appearance?"
He nodded. "Yeah, I do. Silver or no silver I will crush him." He moved to a sitting position, taking her with him. "You need to get out of the way if he shows up ... when he shows up. Run, hide and don"t look back. The only thing he can use against me is you." He cupped her cheek. "I"ll come for you once it"s over."
