I released him.
“You are.”
I got angry all over again. Was he calling me broken? “I am what?” I snarled at him and his eyes snapped open.
“Loved.”
Well, that put a hole in my barrel. I speared my fingers through the fur at his neck. “So are you.”
I grabbed his wrist, turned for the stairs, and tugged with all my weight in a futile attempt to get him to move. Coffee be damned.
“What…?”
I didn’t bother looking back at him. “I want you to fuck me, Thurl.”
I was leaned so far over I would have face planted if he hadn’t scooped me up.
He pressed my back against the wall, his breath hot against my ear as his whisper sent a shudder through me.
“Fuck you, kitten?”
“Yes.” Raw, unfiltered need laced my words.
His claws pricked as they flexed against my hips. Suddenly, I was free. The cool air that rushed where his warmth had been made me want to scream in frustration, but when I looked at him I could see the fire licked at him, too. His fingers flexed and fisted and for several breaths we stood, staring and panting.
“You should not ask me such things. You should run from me, kitten. I am a monster.”
Yep, these panties were goners. “You’remymonster. And right now, I want the beast.”
He growled, the sound filling the room and hitting my chest like a caress.
“Then run.”
It took a heartbeat for me to process what he was saying. Then I took off. I raced up the stairs and blindly into our room but I was caught. He tackled me onto the bed, looming over me like the beast he claimed to be.
Caged by his arms, he pushed his knee between my legs, and it made its way slowly up until it was flush against my greedy sex. I ground myself against him, seeking the friction I so badly wanted.
“You are perfect.”
His words were laced with wonder, but I didn’t want compliments. “What I am is turned on beyond belief and sure that if I don’t orgasm in the next few seconds, I’ll die.”
His claws made quick work of my clothes and with his palm at my sternum, holding me down, his hot mouth attacked my pussy.
Luckily for my life expectancy, I came within seconds. I caught my breath as he hovered over me. With a mischievous grin, I swung my leg and used all my strength to push him over. I straddled his hips and rubbed myself up and down his hard cock like a bitch in heat.
He moaned, and his eyes shuttered. “Jade, please.”
A heady sense of power rushed through me. I did this. I made a monster beg.
I slid up, pressed the tip of him at my entrance, but moved with him as he tried to surge up. He growled in frustration.
“You like this.”
It wasn’t a statement, but I answered him anyway. “Oh yes.” I lowered an inch and we both moaned. Slowly I sank, the sensation of fullness overwhelming as I bottomed out. I lifted and sank back down, but it wasn’t enough. Out of breath, I said, “Okay, you take over. I need your beast, Thurl.”
I was under him so fast it made me dizzy.
“Gladly.”
