Never Cry Wolf (Night Watch #4)(70)

More.

His claws dug deeper into the mattress.

She trembled, whispering his name, and his mouth pressed against her. He’d take everything she’d give to him. Every damn thing.

So f**king sweet.

He waited until the shudders eased, until her nails pulled free from his flesh, then he rose up. Sweat slickened his back. His muscles were so tight and his c**k felt like it was about to burst.

Take her.

The head of his c**k lodged at her creamy core. He still had control—barely—he could do this right, he could—

“No.”

The word stopped him cold. Every muscle in his body locked and a distant roaring filled his ears. “Sarah?” She was turning him away? Now?

She pushed against his chest. “You’re not doing this to me.”

He’d tried to be gentle. Tried to show her that he was more than an animal. Couldn’t she see that?

“You’re not the only one who’s giving this time, Lucas.” Her eyes sparkled at him. A red flush stained her cheeks and her plump lips firmed. “This time, I’ll give to you.”

Her hands circled his wrists. His claws were still lodged in the mattress. Right then, he didn’t want her to see . . . him.

“It’s okay,” she whispered and pulled his wrists. She didn’t look at his claws.

Sarah pushed him onto the mattress. She rose above him. Her scent surrounded him, and he just wanted to take and take.

But he was more than an animal.

Her hands trailed down his chest and his c**k jerked.

More than an animal—right?

Her lips feathered over his jaw. “I want to know everything about you, Lucas. I want to touch everything.” She nipped his chin. “I can handle you. I might not be a shifter, but I can handle you.”

No, she couldn’t. If his control shattered, if the wolf ever took over and he became psychotic, there was no way she’d be able handle him. No one could. Wolves that pushed past that boundary were put down. Pack law. The law he’d directed because he’d seen what happened when madness ruled.

“I know so much about you,” she told him, her voice like sin in the dark. “More than you realize.”

She’d been FBI. Was there anything she didn’t know? Her br**sts pressed against his chest, the ni**les still tight and hard, and he growled.

She licked the skin just under his jaw. “All your life, you had to be the strong one.” Her lips kissed a path up his jaw. She licked his right earlobe.

Lucas tensed. “Sarah, don’t.” Because she didn’t—

Her mouth whispered over the torn remains of his ear, kissing lightly. Such soft, tender kisses.

“You were too young for so much pain.”

No. He wouldn’t remember. He grabbed her hips and yanked her close.

But she kissed his ear again. “Everything you’ve done,” she told him, the words a breath in his ear. “Just made you stronger.”

There was no revulsion from her. Her mouth pressed against the torn edges of flesh. “So strong.”

Sarah. “I want you, now.” The wolf was fighting free. The man didn’t want to hold him back. The hot clasp of her sex was too close, pleasure waiting—within his reach. Release. Hunger. Her.

She pulled back and stared into his eyes. “They whisper about you. In the other packs, they talk about the alpha who should have died years ago. The boy who proved to be stronger than the wolves after him.”

He hadn’t been strong. He’d been desperate. He’d had to go back and protect his friend. Dane—they’d tortured Dane, sliced him to pieces because he wouldn’t betray—

“I don’t want you going back to that place right now.” Sarah’s voice had his eyes rising up to meet hers. She licked her lips. “No pain now, okay? Only pleasure.”

Then she eased down his body, her hair sliding over his skin. Just like silk. Soft and sensual and so cool, while her mouth—

Fuck.

Her mouth closed around the tip of his cock. Hot and wet and she took him inside, sucking and licking.

“Sarah!” A roar.

She didn’t stop. Her mouth widened and she took him in deeper. Her lips closed around him and her palm curved around the base of his cock. Her hand squeezed him, pumped and her mouth tasted and tasted—

His hips arched up, and his c**k drove into her mouth. So damn good. She was taking him in, pulling at his flesh and the pleasure had his spine tightening and his chest burning. He was going to come in her mouth. Fuck.

Her tongue swirled over the head of his c**k and she swallowed.

He caught her arms—too rough, slow down, ease up—and pushed her back. His hands were shaking with a need too strong to ignore. “In you . . . got to be buried in you . . .” He could hardly get the words out. His voice was far more wolf-growl than anything else.

But Sarah understood. She always understood. She smiled at him and she climbed up his body, straddling his hips. Her creamy flesh teased his cock.

Take it easy, go slow, not too deep—

“Hard, Lucas. Hard and wild and deep.”

His control shattered and he surged into her as deeply as he could. His fingers bit into her hips. He lifted her up and down, forcing her to match the speed of his thrusts.

But she was laughing and driving down with her body and meeting him thrust for thrust. Her sex closed around him, so tight, so hot, and she squeezed his cock.

He lowered her onto the bed and caught her hands, pinning them to the bed. Her gaze met his. No fear. Just need. Animal need.

Lust.

But…

More. Desire. Hunger. Passion.

Trust?

“More, Lucas.” She arched her neck. Her heels dug into his ass. “More!”

He gave her more. The bed squeaked and slammed into the wall. His heart thundered in his chest. He drove into her, again and again, deeper, so deep, and the feel of her sex squeezing him was f**king fantastic. His mouth pressed against her throat. Pressed over the pulse that raced so fast.

He could taste her lust.

He licked her. Let her feel the edge of his teeth.

She shuddered against him, but didn’t tell him to stop. Didn’t fight—no, she pushed her throat to his mouth. She wanted him.

Everything.

He found her sweet spot, the soft curve where neck and shoulder met. Lucas bit.

She came beneath him, a hard ripple of her sex that stroked every inch of his cock.

She came and he bit her again, and the need broke free. He surged into her, drove deep, and let the pleasure rip through him.

When he climaxed, when his body shook and he pumped into her core, he finally realized the truth.
