Page 65 of Saving Stella

“Scare me?”

“I … have certain tastes.” His eyes seemed to grow darker.

“Oh.” She paused. “Like … you’re not into … blood or anything like that, are you?”

“What? Oh no.” He shook his head. “I get enough of that from fighting. No, I don’t want to hurt you, at least not to the point of drawing blood. But I like being in charge. Of owning my partners completely. I don’t practice BDSM, the setup and dynamics is not something I’m interested in. But, there are times I just need to completely dominate my partners. I want them to know that they belong to me and only me. I don’t know if that’s just part of my nature as a Lycan.”

She wondered too, if that earlier feeling of wanting to surrender—to submit to him was part of her nature too.

“But this isn’t something I indulge in with just anybody.”

“Did you … with her?” Her stomach was like a rock, thinking of Cliff with that woman. His ex-fiancée.

A muscle ticked in his jaw. “That was in past. I don’t want to talk about that.”

“Me neither.” Just the thought of it was starting to get her riled up. “But I told you earlier, you don’t have to hold back with me.”

“I guess what I’m saying is … if I’ve scared you off, just say so and I’ll leave or take you home. If you want to continue but want me to go slow and easy, I can do that too. But I just … if you’re still okay with me not holding back, I could do that too.”

Excitement tingled inside her and made her clit throb. “Don’t hold back.” Her entire mouth went dry. “Please, Cliff. I can take it. I want it.”

His pupils blew up, though there was still tenderness in his gaze. “If it’s too much, just say so. I’ll stop. We don’t need a safe word. Stop means stop. Leave means leave.”

“I understand. I promise, if I’m uncomfortable, I’ll tell you.”

Leaning over, he kissed her deep, his tongue snaking in to taste her mouth. She melted against him, her knees weakening in anticipation at what was to come. Oh yes, she wanted this. Wanted him to take her, any which way he wanted.

“All right,” he began, his eyes darkening. “Take off all your clothes. I want to see that sweet body of yours.”

The dominance in his voice made her shiver, and it was as if she had no choice but to obey. Unzipping the back of her dress, she let it fall to the floor. Since the bra was built in and he had already gotten rid of her panties, she was completely naked.

“So lovely.” Reaching out, he traced a finger from between her breasts, up the middle of her breast bone, to her neck. “You’re mine tonight, Stella.”

When his rough, warm fingers encircled her neck, she gasped—and her pussy instantly flood with wetness.

His nose twitched and surprise fleetingly passed over his face. “You want this?” His fingers tightened around her throat.

“Y-yes.” Her nipples tightened in anticipation.

He didn’t tighten further, just held her like that—and watched her face closely. “Stella … my Stella. Mine for tonight.”

Those words sent a shiver down her spine—except for that last part. The “tonight” gnawed at her, but she did her best to ignore it. She was his, that’s all that mattered for now.

Leaning down, he kissed her—hard and rough and bruising. She was caught off guard, but soon gave as good as she got—opening up and spearing her tongue into his mouth to taste him. When he let go and pulled away, she whimpered.

“Lay down on the bed.” The tone of his voice was gentle, but firm enough that she didn’t want to disobey. “On your stomach.”

She did as he ordered, turning her head to one side as she lay down and closed her eyes. In this position, she felt vulnerable and open. Yet she knew there was nothing to worry about. Her heart pounded in her chest in anticipation and not fear.

“God, you’re incredible.” The mattress dipped under his weight as he knelt down, pushing her thighs apart with his knees. “This ass …” His hands cupped her flesh, kneading them and spreading them. “Perfect. And this pussy too.”

She moaned when his finger slipped inside her. “Cliff …”

“Your pussy gripped me so good. Made me come so fast. Faster than I wanted. Haven’t come that hard or fast in a while.” A second finger joined in, pushing in deeper. “But I have all night to make up for it.”

She whimpered as his fingers pumped faster and found herself pushing back at him. Lifting her hips up, his other hand slipped under her and his fingers plucked at her clit. She buried her face in the mattress as she screamed when her orgasm tore through her. As her body shook with pleasure, he quickly covered her body with his, pinning her down.

“That’s just the beginning,” he whispered into her ear. “I told you, I’m gonna make you come all night long.”
