Page 45 of Escaping Wonderland

When he lowered his head, he pressed slow kisses along her jaw and down her neck, pausing at her chest to suck her nipple between his lips and flick it with his tongue. The roughness of his tongue rasping over the taut bud sent a pleasurable shock through her. Alice grasped his upper arms and tilted her head back with a moan. He lavished her other nipple before continuing down her body, trailing kisses as he moved. He crawled backward as his lips caressed lower, sliding his arms out of her hold, until he was kneeling on the floor at the foot of the bed.

She sat up on her elbows and looked down at Shadow, her stomach quivering as his tongue flicked her belly button. Hunger burned in his eyes. He held her gaze, lips curving upward in a wicked grin as he settled his hands on the tops of her knees and spread her legs wide.

Alice’s heart leapt, and she grabbed fistfuls of the bedding. She couldn’t deny her excitement despite how exposed and vulnerable she felt.

Shadow slid his tongue down her lower belly and over the short hair on her pelvis, stopping just before he reached her sex. “It feels like I’ve waited an eternity for this taste. Are you as hungry for this as I am?”

Alice’s core clenched at his words, and his warm breath against her slick flesh flooded her with a fresh wave of heat.

“Yes,” she rasped.

His grin widened. “Good, because I’m cashing in my token either way.”

Lowering his head, he extended his long tongue, pressing its tip to the entrance of her sex, and ran it upward until it flicked her clit. Alice’s breath hitched, and her pelvis rocked as she was jolted by pleasure. Her arms nearly gave out beneath her. It was unlikeanythingshe’d ever felt before.

Shadow’s satisfied purr vibrated into her. “Oh, sweet,sweetAlice, I amneverletting you go.”

He curled his fingers around her upper thighs, pinned her to the bed, and pressed his mouth fully against her sex. She wasn’t prepared for what followed—hedevouredher with his lips and tongue, stroking, sucking, and lapping ravenously, and she yielded to her searing need.

She fell upon the bed, desperately clutching the blanket. Waves of powerful sensation blasted through her, but she neededmore; he seemed to dance around her clit, teasing it, bringing her close to the point of no return only to back away and leave her desperate for release over and over again. Perspiration beaded on her skin.

“Shadow, please,” she begged, attempting to undulate her hips, to grind herself against his mouth. Her entire body trembled with the need for release.

He made a sound that was half purr, half growl. “But I love the way you writhe. The way youtaste.”

Shadow speared her sex with his tongue. Alice moaned and bore down, needing him deeper, but his grip on her thighs tightened, holding her still. The tip of his tongue curled against her G-spot, its rough surface rubbing her sensitive inner flesh relentlessly. A rush of pleasure flooded her, prickling along her limbs and making her toes curl.

But it wasn’t enough.

Alice reached down to touch her clit.

He caught her wrist in one of his long-fingered hands and lifted his head, withdrawing his tongue from her channel. Alice nearly cried at the sudden sense of loss.

“Mine,” he snapped, eyes blazing. Tossing her wrist away, he returned his hand to her hip, dropped his head between her legs, clamped his lips around her clit, and sucked hard.

White-hot pleasure burst through her. She came with a series of cries, and he didn’t stop her from thrashing and bucking her hips now—though he didn’t let her get away, either. Alice moved one of her hands to his head, curled her fingers into his hair, and pulled him closer to grind against his mouth as he ruthlessly licked, sucked, and nipped.

Her cries descended into a moan of ecstasy as liquid heat flowed from her core. Shadow groaned as he greedily licked up every drop.

As she came down from the peak of her bliss, Alice lay limp with eyes closed and breath ragged. She should’ve felt sated, should’ve felt satisfied after the orgasm that had ripped through her, but instead, she needed more—she needed to fill the emptiness inside her.

Shadow’s tongue shifted to her inner thighs, licking them clean before he placed a kiss upon the center of her sex. She twitched and forced her eyes open, looking at him down the length of her body.

Shadow lifted his face to meet her gaze, and his tongue trailed over his lips, licking away the glistening evidence of her slick and granting her a glimpse of his fangs. Her sex clenched at the sight. He released his hold on her, pressed his hands atop the bed, and curled his claws into the bedding as he pushed himself to his feet; his abdomen slid over her sex as he moved, followed swiftly by the slow, hot brush of his cock. Alice jumped.

She pushed herself up into a sitting position and ran her hand through her damp hair as her eyes skimmed down historso, ultimately settling on his shaft. The outline she’d seen through his towel had only hinted at his size, offering no clue as to his appearance. His cock was long, thick, andribbed, with ridges ringing it from its head all the way down to its base.

His erection twitched as she stared.

Alice’s gaze snapped back to his. Before she could speak, before she could react, he dove upon her, his arms slipping around her as his mouth captured hers in a heady, consuming kiss. She returned the kiss without hesitation. She tasted herself upon his lips, tastedhim. She kissed him deeper as the flames within her blazed into an inferno.

He rolled onto his back, taking her along with him; before Alice knew it, Shadow was sitting up with her on his lap, her knees on either side of his legs and his shaft pressed along the cleft of her ass. His hands roamed over her back, and the light scrape of his claws left a thrilling sensation in their wake.

“I want you,” she rasped against his mouth.

“Ineedyou,” he rasped against hers.

Alice broke the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled herself up, and looked down. Shadow slipped a hand between their bodies, grasped his cock, and positioned it beneath her. She lowered herself until she felt its blunt head against her entrance. His other hand settled on her hip, his grip firm but inflicting no pain.
