Leaning over I brush my lips against hers just meaning to give her a comforting kiss. It starts off soft, then her tiny fingers find the back of my neck and she pulls me closer. She lets out a cute little growl as she nips my lips and I open for her. As soon as our tongues meet, everything else around us disappears. My entire being hones in on her and only her. It’s not until Colton bangs on the back windshield yelling for us to get a room that I force myself to pull away from her.
“Later.” I mouth and hope she understands. She nods eagerly as she snuggles into my side. Giving her one last short kiss, I start the truck and we head back to Colton’s house.
On the ride back, I listen to Scarlett’s thoughts ramble on as she goes through all the things she needs to do now that she’s human again. First, she needed to find out how long she’d been gone. Then she wondered if her car was still parked at the campgrounds where she shifted before she was captured. Well that answered one question for me about how they captured her. She was in her fox form when they captured her, so someone had to have known who she was and her routine.
There were concerns about her job and whether her bills were overdue. She wasn’t too concerned over the job because she hated her job anyway and it was a good excuse to find a new one. Her last thought as we pulled into Colton’s drive was whether Katia had clothes she might be able to borrow; this was followed by her wanting to take the longest shower in the history of showers.
Colton jumped out of the truck seconds before I even put it in park muttering to himself about overprotective mates. My animal and I both snickered a little at him. He’d gone a little Neanderthal when he met Katia too, this was just payback. Scarlett looked at me, grinning as she took my hand in hers, giving it a little squeeze.
Her beauty struck me like a lightning bolt. She had curves for days; full heavy breasts that would fit perfectly in the palm of my hands, an ass that would bounce perfectly off my cock when I was behind her, and auburn hair that caught the setting sun, shimmering copper highlights dancing with every turn of her head. I wanted to see what it would like spread across my pillow, wrapped around my hand, and across her back as I plowed into her from behind. She was everything I never thought I needed and so much more. How had fate gotten it so right?
I didn’t deserve her, but there was no way in hell I was ever giving her up. She was mine and she was going to stay mine. Giving her a quick kiss, I jumped out of the truck and raced to her side. I helped her out of the truck, tucking the blanket around her to make sure she was covered before heading for the house. We didn’t get far before Katia, Savannah, Raiden, and Baron came barreling out the front door making a beeline for us. I couldn’t help the growls that came as everyone approached.
Scarlett
When everyone cameout to greet us, I could hear Thayne’s growls of warning. His leopard was feeling very possessive. Something that normally I would find annoying and would make me dump a guy in five seconds flat, but coming from my mate made me a little giddy. Oh lord I was going to turn into one of those women, the ones who swoon when their man laid claim to them. Thayne patted my ass and smiled down at me like he liked that idea.
“Holy shit it’s true!” Raiden yells as soon as he’s out the door.
“Welcome back Scarlett.” Savannah says as she pulls me into a soothing hug.
“I bet you’d really love a nice hot shower and some clothes after all that.” Katia offers and she hugs me as well. Before I can respond though, Baron opens his big mouth and inserts foot.
“Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle; you really do have a human side, and a pretty one at that.” Baron smiled and gave a wolf whistle as Thayne stepped between us growling.
“Don’t go getting your whiskers in a twist there pussycat. I know she’s off limits, just admiring the goods. Although, I can’t see much with that there blanket covering all the good stuff.” I rolled my eyes at Baron’s ridiculous comment. Thayne’s growl was getting deeper and fine hairs were sprouting on his arms. Oh shit, he was going to shift.
“He’s just teasing you. Stop before he changes and takes a bite out of your hide.” Baron looked properly chastised and made a show of bowing before winking at me.
Our man is going to eat him if he keeps that up.At my animal's voice, I stopped mid step a little shocked to hear her again. We’d talked while she was in charge of our body, but she’d been quiet since I changed. I was afraid she was gone for good, but hearing her voice again soothed something inside me. Thayne stopped beside me and gave me a soft understanding look before giving me a gentle push toward the house.
“A shower and clothes sounds like heaven Katia, lead the way and I will follow willingly.” Katia chuckled a little as she led me into the house and towards the bathroom. Thayne stayed right behind me until we reached the bathroom and then he hesitated.
“Don’t be shy now, it’s not like you didn’t get a good look at the goods when I changed.” I wave at him thinking I know I took a good long look at his goods.
“Shit, you just read what I was thinking again didn’t you? Of course you did.” Katia looks between the two of us speculatively.
“Okay, I’ll leave you two alone now. Let me know if you need anything else.” I tell her thanks as I close the door behind her.
“Okay, so in all fairness I’m still getting used to this whole you can read my thoughts thing. And in my defense what you are packing is pretty remarkable stuff there mister. Like you might need to enter that sucker in a contest for some kind of award for prettiest pecker.” I’m rambling, I know I’m rambling but I can’t seem to stop myself. Thayne takes pity on me and reaches over pulling me flush against him. Before I can continue speaking my gibberish, he lowers his lips to mine. Everything that is usually going ninety miles an hour in my head screeches to a standstill. My sole focus is on Thayne and the way his lips feel against mine. Perfection. It’s like connecting to another part of myself, a completion of a puzzle. My body comes alive. I want more. No, I need more.
I let the blanket drop to the floor and start pulling at his clothes. They’re in the way; they need to go. There are too many buttons on his damn shirt, my patience is gone as I just grab both sides and rip it apart. Thayne chuckles against my lips as he peels his shirt off and throws it on the floor next to the blanket. I hesitate a little when it comes to his jeans thinking of what lies under them. If I let that monster out it could destroy me, in the best way possible. Thayne doesn’t share my hesitation at all though and he shucks his jeans without breaking our kiss.
Without missing a beat, Thayne picks me up and I wind my arms around his neck. I hum in pleasure as his cock rubs against my wet core. He growls and deepens our kiss. We’re close but I want us closer, I need him inside me. The last few days have been a nightmare of not knowing whether we would ever have this kind of moment. I don't want to waste this opportunity.
Thayne walks us backwards and steps into the tub without even looking. My negative Nancy strikes with questions of how many women has he done this with in Colton’s house to know exactly where to step. Thayne stops kissing me, pulling slightly away. When I finally find the courage to look him in the eyes he cups my face and slowly shakes his head.
“Right. So you’re telling me you’ve never boned any other woman here before?” He takes his pointer finger, places it over his heart, and makes an ‘X’ on it. Did he seriously just cross his heart for me? If I didn’t love him already, I would now.
Oh shit! I clamp a hand over my mouth like I’ve said the words out loud. Thayne’s face breaks out into a glorious smile, nearly blinding me in its brilliance. I really feel like filing a police report against his looks, because it can’t be legal to look as good as he does. There has to be a law somewhere that says he can’t go around looking so fine. He’s still smiling like a lunatic, a gorgeous lunatic but still a lunatic.
“I’m betting you are just loving reading my mind right now aren’t you. Go ahead, eat it up. I’m so glad I can stroke your ego even more than I’m sure it’s already been stroked. Based on your good looks I’d say you’ve probably had it stroked a lot over the years.” There goes my mouth running away from me before I have a chance to process what my brain is telling it to say. I just needed to keep my mouth shut and my brain turned off so I could avoid embarrassing myself. Maybe shifting back into my human form was a bad idea; now that I could talk, I didn’t know how to shut up.
Thayne’s smile vanishes at that thought and he shakes his head and then proceeds to show why it was a good idea to shift back. Taking a firm grip on my ass, he glides me against his rock hard cock. My head falls back and I release a moan, as my body and mind focus on one thing and one thing only; getting Thayne’s body and mine to become one. Thayne’s grin morphs into a look of pure pleasure and concentration as he continues to glide me up and down. On every down stroke, he is hitting my clit at just the perfect angle, bringing me closer and closer to the finish line.
“Oh god, keep doing that.” I mumble against his chest as I cling to him. He’s like a lifeline in the chaos that is happening in my body right now, all while he was the one creating the chaos. Everything in my being was laser focused on the connection between my body and his. My breaths were coming pants, and every time he bumped my clit, a moan escaped me. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I used the extra leverage to help move me faster against his body. His jaw clenched as he pushed us against the back wall of the shower.
“Thayne…oh…oooh…OH GOD!” My orgasm hit me like a runaway freight train. Thayne held me tight against him right before I felt a rush of warmth against my pelvic. Our breaths were coming in fast pants as Thayne lowered me gently into the tub. Thankfully, Thayne kept one arm wrapped around my waist because as soon as my feet hit the tub floor they tried to go out on me. Well damn, the man didn’t even fuck me properly and he still made my legs turn to rubber. Thayne kissed me gently before turning me towards the showerhead. He helped me wash my hair, and attempted to help me wash my body. As his hands started, wandering the water started cooling and we decided to hurry up instead.
