  The orgasm slipped and slithered through her, her muscles tensing while Alex gradually slowed his masterful movements. He brought her down in tiny increments, until her legs could barely hold her weight, her knees nearly jelly-like.

  Through slitted eyes she watched her shifter lover pull his fingers free of her cunt, and then slip them into his mouth, moaning almost joyfully around his digits. With a pop he released them, and rolled to his feet.

  “Damn, sweet. You’re delicious.”

  Before she could respond he captured her lips and thrust his tongue into her mouth, tangling his with hers. She stiffened at his initial invasion, but then melted into him, savored the taste of her cream mixed with his masculine flavor, her musk mingling with the naturally occurring citrus and cinnamon that marked him.

  He notched his dick against her still exposed pussy, rubbed the ridge of his cock along her sensitive slit as she clung to his shoulders, before wrapping her legs around his waist, pulling him flush against her needy cunt.

  He growled and then moaned at the contact, ground his hips over her, yanking a whimper from deep within. Her channel clenched on air, practically begging to be filled with him, his fingers, his cock, anything that was an extension of him.

  Large hands slid over her hips, then reached around to cup and knead her ass. God she needed this, needed the touch of a man who wanted her for who exactly who she was. Alex, this stranger of all people, seemed to be the one to do just that. Suddenly, Maya was lifted from the back of the couch, and in a split-second, her world began to spin.

  “Alex!” She struggled against his hold. The man was strong, but she was…fluffy. “I’m too heavy. Put me down!”

  He paused a moment to glare at her, and she could’ve sworn his eyes flashed bright, before returning to a fiery amber. Okay. She now knew that dark gold meant hotness, and bright amber meant anger. Well, if this was going to be more than a one-night fling, then at least, she’d always know where she stood with him. Not that she’d probably ever be around him again. And definitely not six months from now. Nope. Nu-uh.

  “You’re the perfect size, Maya. You’ve got a body just made for loving, and if you say that again, I’m gonna spank this lush ass of yours until it’s shining red for me.”

  That should’ve made her cautious, but it didn’t. Instead, her cunt tightened, silently screaming to be stuffed full of his cock, and spanked until she cried and begged for relief…in the form of an even harder fuck.

  He tightened his hold on her rear, fingers digging into her ass cheeks. “Would you like to get spanked, Maya?”

  She didn’t answer him, but god, would she ever.

  The man had to be stronger than an ox. Then again, he was a lion, one of the fiercest beasts in the world. Grrr.

  Maya knew she was heavy, yet there he stood, supporting all of her weight as if she were nothing but a feather in the palm of his hand.

  Biting her lip she finally nodded her answer to his question.

  “Maybe after I take the edge off.” Again, his eyes flashed a deep yellow. He was definitely turned-on.

  Alex carried her a half-dozen steps through a door, and then dropped her in the middle of a bed. She didn’t want to know why he had a bed in his office. Really, she didn’t. And she definitely didn’t want to know how many other women he’d banged on the very same mattress.

  Maya lay sprawled before him, legs spread wide, showing off her well-loved pussy soaked in her cream, her breasts still bared from his mistreatment of her dress.

  She should just have the word “slut” tattooed across her forehead.

  She’d come to the club looking for action, but now, she had a hard time imagining being with anyone but Alex at the present. Not when he looked at her like she was the second coming of Aphrodite.

  Maya watched, gaze transfixed, as her one-night lover began to strip before her eyes.

  Alex whipped his near skin-tight shirt over his head and tossed it aside, revealing all of those lovely muscles she’d imagined beneath his clothes. God help her. His biceps were thick and heavily muscled, pecs were rock-hard, and those abs of his… She nearly moaned in delight at the beautiful sight of his perfectly sculpted stomach.

  One, two, three…she kept counting the ripples until she stopped at eight. Then, there were those lovely lines at his hips that appeared to point down to the promise land. She wanted to lick and trace them with her tongue, follow them down beneath the cloth of his jeans.

  His hands went to the button on his pants, readily gaining her full attention. She didn’t spare a glance at his face. No, all she wanted right now was to see Mr. O’Connell’s package. In a blink the pants were unsnapped, the zipper lowered. Good lord, the man wasn’t wearing anything beneath the woven cotton.

  That only made her prize easier to get to.

  Alex nudged the waist of his jeans and they slid easily over his hips to fall to his ankles.

  His dick… Oh, damn… His cock was long and thick, definitely looked as if he could fill her to the hilt, and then some. Pre-cum had already formed at the tip, and she wondered if the pearly drop of fluid would carry the same cinnamon-citrus flavor. She ached to lean forward and taste him.

  He wrapped a hand around his shaft, stroked himself from root to tip and back again, repeating the gesture as she watched intently, forcing more of his seed to gather over his small slit. “See something you want, Maya?”

  She nodded, not trusting herself to speak.

  “Maybe after I’ve had you a few times.”

  She risked a glance at his face, and if he didn’t look like he wanted to eat her alive, she’d demand a sample now. But those eyes were flickering between a fiery gold to nearly black, and it looked as if his face had more than the five o’clock shadow she’d seen earlier. Golden fur now peppered his cheeks.

  Alex took a step toward her and stumbled, falling on top of her, and she let out a squeak in response to the sudden weight holding her down.

  He, of course, growled. It seemed that her soon-to-be lover was a growler. She wanted to make him roar…

  Giggling, she couldn’t help but nudge him from her body, work at getting him to stand once again. “Alex? I think you forgot something,” she stated, continuing to laugh.

  He glared and cursed low before he crawled off of her, sitting back on the mattress to yank off his boots. She thought she heard him mutter something about mates asking for spankings.

  Maybe he’d meant bedmates…

  While he was busy with his clothing, she wiggled on the bed and yanked off the remnants of her dress, before reaching for her shoes. Of course, she didn’t even get a chance to touch them.

  A furry hand grasped her wrist and she stared into a pair of narrowed eyes. “The shoes stay.”

  He was looking more and more like his inner beast, the closer he came to fucking her. Oh, well. She supposed his well-defined muscles, along with his ridiculous hotness, could easily make up for a little extra body hair.

  As for her, she was totally into a new category of slutiness—a fur loving slut. Hm… Did she still consider him to be just a one-night stand, or something else? Did she want him to be her lover? Perhaps, at least, lover-esque?

  She wasn’t sure. It didn’t seem all that plausible that they’d get together past tonight. Why would they? No. Not even if her clit twitched and pulsed at the idea of spending more time with this lion, this hunky-as-hell Alex. But at the same time, she couldn’t deny that this new acquaintance of hers was really getting under her skin…in the best of ways.

  Now completely naked, her new lover turned his attention to her, shoving his way between her thighs, chasing her up to the head of the bed as she scrambled to keep up with him.

  *

  Alex’s lion couldn’t decide between diving back between her thighs for another taste or pushing his rock-hard cock into her silken heat, and claiming her as his.

  Spread before
him and still wearing her shoes, Maya was naked, showing him a sea of pale curves, and all he wanted to do was to lick and nibble every inch of her, discover her darkest secrets, and then ferret out even more, until he knew everything about her.

  He palmed his cock, moved across the mattress on his knees, shifting their bodies until she was positioned exactly as he desired. Her golden-blonde hair spread across his pillows, his goddess rested against the soft surface of his bed, her knees bent and feet planted on the comforter, giving him a perfect view of her pretty, pink pussy.

  Kneeling between her thighs Alex stared at this big, beautiful woman…his would-be mate.

  ‘Cause yeah, the cat wanted her to be his, and after that first taste of her essence, the man in Alex wanted more too, and now, neither one of them were sure that a single night with Maya would ever be enough. Maybe after a hundred years or so, he thought, the two would have their fill. But not a minute sooner.

  He squeezed his dick right below the head, teased the underside just below the crown. Damn, he couldn’t wait for her to milk him, draw the cum out of his balls and deep into her waiting cunt.

  Alex licked his lips, panting like a dog. The woman before him was a voluptuous, sensuous playground, and he couldn’t wait for recess. The curve of her breasts, the dip of her waist and flare of her hips, called to him like no other woman’s body ever had.

  Which kinda made sense, since she was his true mate. Maya just didn’t know it yet. She would, soon enough.

  She kneaded her abundant breasts, plucked her nipples, and writhed beneath his gaze. All the while her attention remained focused on his hand stroking his cock.

  “Temptress. Are you ready for me?”

  Her small, pink tongue danced out to wet her lips, before disappearing again. He wanted to chase that enticing bit of muscle and search out more of her taste. This woman, his would-be mate, was a drug to both him and his lion.

  She nodded, spread her thighs wider, showing him more of her moist pinkness. “Yes. Please?”

  God, another growl built in his chest. The woman tested his control like no other.

  Alex shifted his weight, leaned over her, and rested his bulk on one arm. Still gripping his shaft he rubbed the tip of his dick along her soaking slit, instantly shivering on contact.

  “You’re so hot for me, kitten.” Yeah, his kitten. He barely recognized his own voice, and pretended that his beast wasn’t stretching his skin thin, almost to the point of revealing itself. He knew fur had already sprouted over his body, his canines half-descended, and that the lion had taken over his voice.

  Maya wrapped one of her thighs around his hip, pulling herself closer to him, scratching and clawing at his shoulders. “Need you…now.”

  “Soon…”

  She whimpered and fell back onto the bed, hair fanning around her, exposing the delicate line of her neck, highlighting the smooth skin he couldn’t wait to nibble…sink his teeth into, and mark her as his.

  Alex kept up the slow, gentle rubbing of her pussy with the tip of his cock, gathering more and more of her cream with every pass of his dick along her swollen lower lips. Each time the head skimmed her hole, he had to fight his beast for control, resist the urge to slam right into her heat. No, he wanted to savor his first possession, at all cost. He wanted to tempt and tease her, before satisfying his own need.

  Her pussy tried to suck him in, the flesh spasming and tightening, kissing the head of his cock, silently begging for him to enter. And each time he went near her silken entrance a shudder racked his body, shot along his spine and tugged at his balls. Fuck, he wasn’t gonna last long. Not with her, his soon-to-be mate, and especially not during their first time.

  With his next pass over her pussy he paused, inched his dick in, and let her cunt suckle the head of his cock. Fuck. The hot, wet heat cradled him, massaged him, causing him to bare his teeth. Growling and panting a hiss left his mouth before he could bite it back.

  Maya flexed her legs, as if trying to force his entry, but he was a lion, the pride’s prime. Head lion in charge. No way would she be able to move him along, hurry his pace.

  With a gentle shift he let his crown retreat, and then slide inside her once again, equally teasing them both with his barely-there penetration.

  “Damn it, Alex.” She tightened her thighs again, and had the nerve to growl at him, bare her teeth. Shit, that was hot.

  “When I’m ready, sweet.” He took great care while he lowered his body over hers, the muscles of his arms straining to be gentle with his human mate. He swept down, captured her lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth, fucked the moist cavern in the same rhythm as his cock toyed with her pussy.

  He rolled his hips, slow and easy, giving her just another inch, a slightly deeper penetration, but still withheld his entire shaft from going all the way in. He wanted her to beg, to cry with need, to be willing to accede to anything he demanded.

  Like…becoming his mate.

  Or, at least, just agreeing to be his.

  He could always work on the “mate” thing later.

  The damned beast was riding him hard, snarling and snapping and demanding that Alex let it take control, let it sink its canines into his mate and claim her. Like, right now.

  Maya moaned into his mouth as she fought for dominance, making his lion puff with pride at the fact that its mate could hold her own against him, giving as well as she took. Alex pulled away from her inviting mouth in increments, slowed and calmed their fight until their lips were barely a hairsbreadth apart, forcing them to share each other’s breath.

  “Please, I need you.”

  He couldn’t hide the smile that took over his lips. “How bad?”

  “It hurts. So bad.” She leaned up, nipped his lower lip.

  Alex then rained gentle kisses along her jaw, and was pleased when she tilted her head to the side, granting him better access, subconsciously submitting to him. He licked and nibbled a path to her ear, caught the lobe between his teeth.

  “Are you mine, sweet Maya?” He bit the spot below her ear, reveled in her quick, indrawn breath, the shudder that traveled through her, causing her sweet cunt to tighten around his shallow invasion.

  “Yesss.”

  “You belong to me, don’t you?” Alex laved at the spot again, and traveled farther south along the column of her neck.

  “God, yes.”

  The cat was pleased, and her admission helped to ease the painful scratching and clawing that came from inside his body. “I’m going to keep you, and this sweet, luscious body in my bed, and I’m not gonna let you go.” She nodded against him, but he wanted to hear the words. “Say it, sweet Maya. Tell me you agree.”

  “Fuck. Yes. You’re keeping me in your bed.”

  Prickles of pain came from inside his mouth, and Alex knew the beast wouldn’t be denied any longer. He opened his jaws, placed his teeth against the soft, tender skin of her shoulder, and sank his sharp canines into her flesh. At that exact moment he shoved his cock deep into her pussy, sheathing himself to the hilt. Maya arched into him, head tilted back and gritting her teeth. A soft whimper escaped her lips.

  A growl formed in his chest and the lion snarled and roared, reveled in the taste of its mate’s blood sliding over his tongue. He drank down the fluid, and let his saliva slip into her body to mingle with her blood stream.

  Then the man emerged… Alex froze, fully seated in her cunt, a bolt of pleasure overtaking him with each tremor that traveled through her silken heat.

  Distantly, he heard a shout of pleasure. Maya clutched at his shoulders, legs firm and strong around his waist, and she tilted her hips, as if she longed for deeper penetration.

  “Alex, Alex, Alex…” She chanted his name, and so, he picked up the rhythm, timed the flexing of his hips, the thrust and retreat of his cock to punctuate her words.

  With her claimed, and the transition beginning in her body at the
DNA level, Alex was free to take her as he desired. He gently withdrew his teeth from her shoulder and lapped at the wound to start the healing process, and all the while he kept his hips moving, pistoning his cock in and out of her sweet cunt.

  Wound now taken care of he turned his attention to pleasing her, his true mate. Alex pushed himself up so he could stare into her eyes, watch her as her pleasure unfolded.

  Maya released her hold on his hips, dropped her feet to the mattress, and began meeting each of his thrusts, the sound of flesh on flesh filling the room, mingling with the heavy panting of their ragged breathing.

  He kept up his tempo, hard slams of his cock into her quivering pussy, her heat milking and massaging his shaft. “Fuck, Maya. You have such a perfect little cunt.”

  That earned him a tight squeeze of his dick, her mouth opening on a gasp.

  “You like that, don’t you? Like hearing how much I love fucking this pussy?” Her slippery sheath rippled. “I want you to come on my dick. Then, I’ll come deep inside you.” Her walls gripped him tight, eyes glazed with passion.

  Fuck, just watching her got him nice and close to coming. His balls drew up tight against him, aching to let go, fill her pussy up with his cum.

  Observing her reaction he increased his pace, angled his hips until he got the response he was waiting for. A tilt, a swivel, and then…

  Her entire body trembled, eyes fluttering shut as Maya cried out, “Alex!”

  And there it was. He’d found the sweet spot inside his mate once again. In time he knew he’d be able to find her G-spot without a problem, and he’d enjoy every minute of learning exactly how to pleasure her.

  With every thrust their pelvises met, pressing against her clit while his dick stroked against her happy place inside. Each entrance was greeted with a tightening of her pussy, a tantalizing rhythm that seemed to be begging for his cum.

  He was panting with effort, sweat coating his back and brow as he tried his best to please her. His beast was totally onboard with that plan, wanted to make sure its mate was fully satisfied.
