Bunching my fingers in the hem of his T-shirt, I tugged it over his head. He levered up just enough to help me remove it but didn’t pull free of my pussy.

When his skin was bare, I raked my nails down his back, loving the way he hissed from the pain but bucked harder into me because I could tell by the flash in his eyes that he secretly loved the pain just as much as I did.

Though I didn’t think it was much of a secret anymore how much I liked that bite of pain that blossomed into pleasure.

Dipping his head, he snagged a nipple between his teeth and tugged.

My hips shot off the ground, and my clit rubbed against his pubic bone.

I wasn’t going to last much longer.

His mouth switched to my other breast, and he did the same thing, all the while continuing to piston in and out of me with harsh, deliberate thrusts.

My pussy quivered with every draw and clenched at every plunge of his cock until the pressure building in my lower belly became too much to bear and I arched my back, tipped my head into the earth, and let go.

I dug my nails into his shoulder blades, clinging on for dear life as Zane threw me off the precipice, but instead of falling to my death, I flew up into the ether until I was caught in the clouds.

The pleasure of the climax rocked through me in waves, from the tip of my head to the bottoms of my feet, through my limbs, making my muscles tighten, my toes curl, and my nails lodge themselves firmly in Zane’s back muscles deep enough to make him grunt out in pain.

But I didn’t let go.

My chest heaved with each new glorious surge, and rather than pause and find his own release, Zane just continued to buck into me, drawing a second orgasm on the heel of the first and making my body clench even tighter. I had his cock in a vice grip inside of me, and at some point, I’d locked my ankles together around his back.

He wasn’t going anywhere.

And judging by the way he finally stilled, growled, then roared as his cock swelled and pulsed inside of me, he had no plans of getting up and leaving.

With a final shudder, Zane collapsed on top of me, his sigh vibrating through me, an unspoken message to my body to finally relax.

I echoed his sigh, withdrew my claws from his shoulders, not surprised to see that I’d drawn blood with my nails, and unlocked my ankles, placing my feet back on the ground.

His lips fell to my neck as our chests heaved against one another.

Not ready to give up the intimacy that I was experiencing with someone I could only describe as my adversary, although we were on the same side, I trailed the nails of one hand down the length of his spine, gently, loving the slight shiver and gooseflesh that seemed to chase my fingers.

With the other hand, I pushed my fingers into his hair, pulling softly on the ends, but more playing with his hair than anything. He had magnificent hair. Soft and thick with rebellious waves that had a mind of their own.

“Well, we knew you two either needed to fuck or kill each other,” came Rix’s voice from above. “But in the dirt? Really?”

Zane’s body stiffened slightly, and I released my hold on him so he could slide off me and roll to the side. As he withdrew from my body, the sudden melancholy of no longer being connected to him was overwhelming.

Propping myself up on my elbows in the dirt, I glanced up at Rix and Jorik, who were grinning like idiots.

Jorik’s gaze was wild and full of lust. Rix’s was playful, but the bulge in his pants said he was having similar thoughts to Jorik’s.

Rix held out his hand and helped me stand up, while Jorik seemed to have located my pants and shirt and handed them to me.

I quickly got dressed, casting long glances at a quiet and brooding Zane.

Without so much as looking at me, he finished getting dressed, but not before I saw the trickles of blood dripping down his back from where my nails had scratched him. Then he spun on his heel and headed back to the cabin.

I glared after him.

“You’ve turned a corner with him, Cat,” Rix said softly, slinging an arm over my shoulder and turning me toward the cabin, too. “Don’t push him. That was a huge step for you guys. Give him some space now to process.”

I glanced up at him. “He just fucked me, then took off.”

“Yeah, but the thundercloud isn’t over his head anymore, if you didn’t notice,” Jorik added, sidling up next to me.
