“They have blood on them. I’ll lend you something of mine.”

That wasn’t good, then she’d have his scent on her. Just like her scent stimulated him, his scent stimulated her—big time.

He braced his hands on either side of her again. “It’s torture for me, having you here so close and not being able to do anything about it, since I will not take what is not given freely.”

“I should go to my room,” she said his body pressing lightly against hers.

“Stay here,” he said his sweatpants whispering against her clitoris and sending it tingling wildly.

She sucked in her breath, trying to gain control of her passion that was screamingI want, I want, I want.She needed to get away from him or she’d do something she’d regret or would she?

Come on let’s have fun, her libido shouted.

“I need to go,” she said and pushed past him, out the bathroom door and into his bedroom. He followed her, though didn’t stop her, though his words did as her hand reached for the doorknob.

“What are you afraid of?”

“I’m not afraid,” she said turning with a toss of her head.

“Then let me love you.”

Love.Is that what she was afraid of, that she’d fall in love with this unearthly creature and what future would there be in that? Or did she take this moment in time, a few precious days, and simply enjoy him and not worry about what followed?

“Why fight what you—and I—so badly want?”

“No bites?” she asked in a whisper. If he didn’t bite her then it would just be a man and a woman making love, enjoying each other while stuck in a snowstorm, nothing more.

“If that’s what you want.”

For now. Her thought startled her and she hoped Michael didn’t hear it.

He held his hand out to her.

I will not take what is not given freely.His words echoed in her head. Was she about to surrender to him?

She smiled and instead made it her choice by hurrying over to him, throwing her arms around his neck, and giving him a kiss that let him know just that. His arms instantly circled her, yanking her up against him, and she reveled in the feel of just how hard he was for her.

Her body’s tortuous need for him surprised her. After all, it hadn’t been that long ago that he had satisfied her—quite thoroughly—yet here she was aching for him as if she hadn’t had sex in ages. She had never felt so drawn to a man, and she intended to get her fill while she could, if she could.

He pulled his mouth away from hers and yanked her top off. A shot of cold air hit her or was it his breath? Whatever it was, hardened her already hard nipples more.

She raised her leg to pull off her sock.

“No,” he ordered with a smile. “Leave them on. You look,” —his smile grew— “delicious in them.”

His hand shot out and grabbed the back of her neck, then he yanked her forward to meet his lips...lips as hungry as hers. They tempted, tormented, and teased to the point of orgasm.

It was like they were lovers who had been lost in time and had finally been reunited and could not get enough of each other. His hands explored her body with exquisite acuteness, as if familiarizing himself with every bare inch of her. Or was he was claiming every bare inch of her?

She wanted to do both to him, familiarize and claim every inch of him.

Her hands began to roam over his chest and when they got to his waist, she realized that he still wore his sweatpants.No, no, no, she thought, they had to come off. She slipped the waistband down his hips, and though she didn’t want to stop kissing him, or disturb his hands that were doing divine things to her, she had to so that she could quickly get him naked.

Lara pulled her mouth off his, bent down and yanked his pants down past his ankles, so that he could slip right out of them when he moved, and then she bounced back up, though not all the way.

His jutting penis brushed her cheek, stopping her.

He was big. Bigger and thicker than any man she had ever been with, which of course got her even more excited than she already was, though how that was possible she’d never know. And, of course, with it being right there in her face, so lusciously close, she had the urge to taste.
