Page 133 of Love Bites

This wasn’t what I wanted, what I needed. I needed him inside me. I needed the agony of his bite on my neck as he filled me.

But at the first touch of his tongue, I fell back against the furs, helpless.

I’d had a boyfriend in college who tried to go down on me, and I’d found it mostly boring. But his efforts had been shy and halfhearted.

Luke fed on me like a starving man. Lapping, sucking, and groaning into me as if he could never get enough.

I could feel the tide of pleasure rising, lifting me. I cried out his name in need and wonder as he eased a finger inside me.

Just as my ecstasy approached, he pulled back and went perfectly still, leaving me desperate, hips rising involuntarily to find his mouth.

I opened my eyes to see him gazing down at me, lips parted as I convulsed on his finger like a fish out of water, too desperate to remember how to beg.

“Fuck,” he growled, and dove back in.

The pleasure was more intense now. After a moment I was coming apart on his tongue, shimmering, floating, and finally exploding with the ecstasy.

When it was done, he crawled up beside me and pulled me to his chest again.

I was still shaking.

His body was rigid beside mine, every muscle bulging.

“Are we? Does that mean…?” I gasped.

“No,” he said firmly.

Impossibly, I was already shivering with need all over again. I couldn’t imagine how he must feel.

I slid my hand down his chest, stroked those rigid abs on my way to his cock.

His hand locked around my wrist before I found what I wanted.

“Do you want me to claim you, Bella?” His voice was dark with unsatisfied desire.

“I just want to help you, like you helped me,” I whimpered.

“No,” he said firmly, through a clenched jaw. “I would lose control.”

He let go of me and stood, offering me his hand.

“Take off that silly dress and get into bed,” he told me.

I stood, gazing up at those unfathomable lightning blue eyes.

He blinked and then the air around him blurred slightly.

A moment later, I was having a staring contest with a massive wolf.

I couldn’t help smiling in wonder, even as I resented him for ending the conversation so abruptly.

I reached my hand out to stroke the soft fur.

The wolf nudged me toward the bed, and I undressed quickly and slid between the sheets.

A moment later the mattress groaned as the beast leapt up beside me and curled his furry body around mine.

I meant to stay awake, to try to understand what spell must have been cast on me to make me so wild with lust that I had almost given in tonight.

But I was deep in a dreamless sleep before I could think about it.
