Part 14 (1/2)

”Oh. I see.”

He looked at her throat and then inspected one of her hands, before inspecting the other. ”You don't wear jewelry?”

”I'm not much of a jewelry person.”

He smiled.

”But that doesn't mean that I'm not a money grabber.”

”Do you like designer clothes and shoes?”

”I might,” she shrugged. ”I've never owned any so I wouldn't know.”

”Are you telling me that you'd sh.e.l.l out a couple of thousand bucks for a bag?”

”h.e.l.l no! What a waste! That doesn't mean I didn't come here for the money though.”

”You were also very honest about not being here to find a mate and about being jaded in the love department. If I can recall,” he raised his eyes. ”You pointed that out to me almost immediately. You didn't want to mislead me.”

She shook her head.

”When we get back to my lair, I'm writing you a check for the time you spent here. I'm paying you double what you were promised as a daily allowance, you deserve it.”

”No way!” she yelled, even though he was right in front of her. ”Don't you dare even think about it.”

”Why not?” His brows pulled together.

”Because everything has changed. It wouldn't be right. I can't take your money now.”

Thunder smiled. ”I rest my case. You are the best. Is there anything else you need to tell me?”

”I take it you're not mad?”

”Not even close. Was there anything else? Because I would like to make love to you under the stars.” Then he frowned. ”Actually,” he looked pained. ”I'm going to f.u.c.k you first. It was a long couple of days holed up in that cave and I thought I lost you today.” His chest heaved against her. ”I promise to make love to you right afterwards though.”

”Okay, I can live with that.” She swallowed thickly. Her core tightened with need.

”Let's get you out of these clothes.” His face had a pinched look. ”Before I rip them.” By the intense look in his eye, she could tell that he wasn't joking.

He helped pull her t-s.h.i.+rt up. It snagged on her head.

”f.u.c.king h.e.l.l!” Thunder growled.

Tammy squealed as his hot mouth closed over her nipple. ”I've been dying to get my mouth on you.” He thrust up against her, his erection snagging her c.l.i.t. She moaned some more. Then she realized that the s.h.i.+rt still covered her face so she pulled it the rest of the way off. It was just in time to see Thunder suck on her other nipple. ”So d.a.m.ned plump,” he growled.

”f.u.c.k!” he mumbled before sucking on each nipple one after the other, like he wasn't sure which one he wanted more.

Thunder cupped her between the legs, stroking her through her pants which had long since dried. ”Holy h.e.l.l,” she managed to choke out between moans. It had been a long time. Normally when things got a little ... tense, she'd take care of herself. It wasn't something she'd had a chance to do in a while though and things had been really, really tense inside that cave. He rubbed her some more, doing a stellar job considering she was wearing jeans and panties. Her moans grew louder. She was going to explode and really soon. She couldn't wait to come. Couldn't d.a.m.n well wait. Rub, yes, rub, yeeeees, rub ... Then he stopped to unb.u.t.ton her jeans.

”I hate you!” she growled. ”Hate. You.” She was breathing heavily. ”So much!” she added when she caught his smirk.

”Were you about to come?”

”You know I was.” a.s.shat. He certainly smiled like he knew it had been about to happen. Like he'd stopped on purpose.

”I'll need to make it up to you.” He pulled her jeans and her underwear off. ”I'm not going to get you off dry-humping instead of on the end of my d.i.c.k. I want to be inside you the first time we come. Also, we'll come together.”

First time.

She flooded with wet. As in, if she'd been wearing panties, they'd be soaked.

His eyes stayed on hers. ”Are you good with that?”

”Yes, good.” She licked her lips. ”Really, really good.”

His c.o.c.k jutted from between his thighs. Thunder gave her a feral grin before positioning himself between her legs. ”I won't hurt you,” his voice was deep.

She nodded. She could feel him hot and heavy between her legs. Right there. Oh G.o.d! She'd never been so turned on. Never wanted anything more.

”I promise I'll fit,” another deep rumble.

”I know. Please just ... please ...” He pushed into her, stealing her words. Stealing her mind. ”Wait! Stop.”

He pulled out. There were sweat beads on his forehead. He was so turned on he looked angry. ”What is it? Are you okay?”

”What about a condom? I haven't been taking my pill and it's a bit too soon for a baby, don't you think?”

”I would scare you if I answered that question,” he paused.

Did that mean that he wanted a baby with her? It more than likely did. She waited for the panic to set in. For that icy fist of fear to tighten around her insides but it didn't happen. All she felt was warm all over at the prospect. What the h.e.l.l was happening to her? It was too soon for feelings like these. That little voice inside her whispered that she was going to get hurt but she ignored it. Be brave!

”You're not in heat. You won't fall pregnant.”

”Are you sure you don't have a condom on you?” she smiled. It was a stupid joke to make at a time like this. Roxy had mentioned that s.h.i.+fters could scent if a woman was ovulating. They couldn't give each other any diseases but it was ingrained in her to have the guy wear a condom. She'd never had s.e.x without one before.

”Oh s.h.i.+t!” He fake-slapped his forehead. ”I totally forgot, I keep a strip tucked into my a.s.s for times just like this one.” Thunder looked completely deadpan, then he grinned.

If she wasn't so turned on, so close to coming, she would have laughed. ”I trust you,” she whispered, then leaned up and kissed him. ”We don't need a condom.”

”You sure?”

She nodded, tightening her thighs around him.

”Very sure?” He circled her c.l.i.t with the tip of one of his fingers. Tammy bit down on her lower lip and nodded. Thunder pushed back into her.

Lord up above. Lord! Oh G.o.d! Her hips rocked up like they had a life of their own. He moved slowly at first, carefully nudging his way in deeper with each stroke. He rested his weight on his forearms which were on either side of her head.
