Page 72 of Deadly Cravings

Another ram into her and her channel fluttered around me. She was tightening up, getting ready to explode. My fingers slipped between our legs and I swirled my fingers over her core, playing with the stretched lips accommodating me and dragging the moisture to the clit that would set her off within moments.

“Jax,” she whimpered. My balls drew up. The sound of my name on her lips shot euphoria through me. Her body went taut as a bow string and she sucked in a sharp breath. She was so close, and I couldn’t keep it in anymore. My spine tightened and my entire body shivered as my release slammed into me.

I gritted my teeth as I shoved against her and my dick shot off with harsh tugs. Kitten’s channel squeezed me as I released and she tried to tug away as she came, but I forced her in place, letting her spasm around my dick.

Nothing was comparable to fucking this human. My eyelids twitched and my release staved off slowly, my body slumping in place. Her leg fell forward and my dick slipped free of the home he’d had for the past few hours.

I grunted at the loss but forced myself to fucking relax as she settled. Her breathing returned to normal and a soft snore slipped free. I fell to my back and stared at the ceiling as I sucked in a few breaths.

Odd for me since I’d never worked myself up to the point that I had to breath this much within a short time frame.

Guilt soured my stomach. I’d never been so riveted by something to this point—least of all ahuman. I scoffed in disgust. Imogen would have snapped the human’s neck if she knew my thoughts. My stomach burned and I lifted to my elbow to ensure she remained sleeping.

I tensed. It wasn’t like she could hear my thoughts.And why was I more worried about Catalina’s feelings right now?

Asher was right, and it was time for me to move on. And what better way to start than on a human girl.

She was perfectly . . . forgettable.

Right.

I couldn’t even lie to myself. I frowned. She was so fucking sweet it made my teeth hurt.

Even though I was an unimaginable dick to her, she never failed to offer me a smile whenever she saw me.

Cat whimpered in her sleep, moving her head back and forth. Her dark hair spilled over her pillow. I pushed to my elbow again and her brow furrowed.

As I was reaching to jostle her awake, she shot up, sucking in a breath.

Her fearful round eyes flashed across the room and her shivering increased. She scrambled to turn the lamp on next to her bed, searching for the inhaler near her head. She grabbed it and rounded to look at me, eyes wide as she launched herself at me, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding me tightly.

I stilled, my stomach somersaulting at the fearful way she clutched me while also enjoying it too much. My hand pressed into her back.

“What is it, human?”

She sniffled and sucked in a breath as she used her medication.

My fingers uselessly pressed into the mattress. I was never someone others came to for comfort. I flattened my palm against her back.

“Human.” I bit out, insistently. Her arms tightened more.

“I hate the dark.”

I frowned. The manor always had some sort of low light. Even in Bastien’s room, but her bedroom was currently dark.

“Why?” The question slipped out unbidden. I shouldn’t care. I didn’t care, but curiosity bade me to ask.

“I was kept in the dark a long time ago, and ever since then, I’ve slept with some sort of light on.”

My teeth clicked together at her softly spoken words. Viscous rage burned through me, and she grunted.Fuck.I’d tightened my grip on her too much. I reached over her shoulder and flipped the bedside lamp on.

“Who?”

“I-I don’t want to talk about it.”

Every fiber of my being didn’t like that, but I gritted my teeth and held her. Such a vulnerable, gentle human. She eventually relaxed and settled her bottom on my lap.

“You’ll never have to fear again.” The promise fell from my lips effortlessly, but I couldn’t stop it. Her little fingers flexed on my shoulders.
