Part 3 (1/2)

Another glimpse of his watch told him that PR boy was due to wind up. He tuned back in to the young man's words. Sure enough, the pitch ended and the PR guys looked at Colin expectantly. Clearing his throat and straightening his tie, Colin smiled at them coolly. He stood up and picked up the packet of presentation materials they'd provided him.

”Thank you for your time, gentlemen,” he said smoothly. ”I will share this information with my brother Marius, the CEO. Once we've made a decision, we'll let you know. I appreciate the work you've put into this proposal.”

They gave him more blah blah blah business chitchat as they walked him to the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, Colin growled and yanked his tie loose. He was done with this c.r.a.p. Every meeting Marius set up had been the same. He took out his phone and hit the speed dial for his a.s.sistant Corey.

”Bossman! How's the Big Apple?” An engaging young man, Corey was beyond efficient if a little irreverent in his demeanor.

”These meetings suck, Corey. They're all the same. Get me out of the rest of them,” Colin growled.

Corey chortled with amus.e.m.e.nt. ”You met someone. You just wanna spend the next three days f.u.c.king!”

Colin rolled his eyes. ”Corey, what man doesn't wanna spend his days and nights f.u.c.king?”

”I don't,” Corey said loftily.

”That's because you don't have a boyfriend right now,” Colin laughed.

”Just because I'm unattached doesn't mean I couldn't f.u.c.k for three days and nights if I wanted to. I'm just not a s.l.u.tty boy,” his a.s.sistant sniffed.

Colin grinned. Corey might be gay, but his masculinity never came into question. He liked to amuse others by putting on an over the top, gay man act, and he did it really well. ”Fine. Your moral self needs to pick up the phone and cancel the rest of the appointments Marius made for me. I'm off to be a s.l.u.tty boy,” he said cheerfully.

”Who did you meet?' Corey's voice lowered to a conspiratorial tone. ”I won't tell the Big Fang that you're spending the rest of your time in New York f.u.c.king some woman. It is a woman, isn't it?”

Colin shook his head, stifling his laughter as the elevator door opened and he stepped out. ”Corey, when have you ever known me to f.u.c.k a man?”

His a.s.sistant's laugh was rich with amus.e.m.e.nt. ”Never. But there's always a first time!”

”No first times for me. It's a woman. A beautiful strong willed black dragon woman,” he confided as he headed for the taxi stand.

”Ooooh!” Colin could just see Corey's eyes opening wide. ”What is it with you Granvilles lately? First your sister goes all googly eyed for a dragon and now you.”

Colin got in a waiting cab and gave the driver the name of his hotel. ”I'm not googly eyed, Corey. I'm just h.o.r.n.y.” ”You say to-may-toe and I say to-mah-toe.”

Colin grinned at his a.s.sistant's cheekiness. ”We'll see. So far, she hasn't called me back and that is not a good sign.”

”She'll call,” Corey said confidently.

”You sound like you're ready to take bets on this.”

Corey made a rude sound that Colin took for a raspberry. ”Bossman, you have a big d.i.c.k. All the girlies want to call you back. And all the s.l.u.tty boys wish you'd call.”

As Colin burst out laughing, Corey told him, ”You just have a good time burning your candle at both ends. Corey will relieve you of the boring meetings. See you in three days, Bossman!”

The call ended and Colin stared at his phone. Ring, d.a.m.n you! As if prompted by his thoughts, the phone dinged.

His eyebrows flicked up at the text message notice. He clicked on it.

I'm wet. How fast can you get here?

Colin sucked in his breath sharply. He tapped on the divider between him and the driver and gave him the name of Eden's hotel. As the cab sped him toward Park Avenue, Colin's groin tightened. Already he could mentally smell the scent of her blood. His muscles twitched. His c.o.c.k protested being confined within his boxer briefs, behind the zipper of his suit pants. He had the primal urge to rip his clothes off and take his woman and he hadn't even arrived yet!

Biting the inside of his cheek, he tried to calm himself. d.a.m.n. He was more excited than a virgin on prom night. He couldn't remember ever being this turned on by a woman. When the cab pulled up at Eden's hotel, Colin tossed some money at the driver. He knew it was probably way too much, but he didn't care. He just wanted to get to Eden. He fidgeted in the elevator and when the doors opened, he bolted for her room. He lifted a hand to knock, but his fist met the air as she jerked the door open.

Their eyes met. Colin leaned forward. Eden tilted her head up. Their mouths met in a hard mash of lips and tongue. They kissed each other urgently. Colin maneuvered his way inside and kicked the door shut, fumbling behind him for the security lock. Eden's hands pulled his suit jacket off, tugging at his already loosened tie, and unb.u.t.toning his expensive designer s.h.i.+rt. She tossed all three items toward a chair and ran her hands over his bare chest.

”OhmyG.o.ds, Colin,” she groaned against his mouth. ”I thought I could hold out until five...”

Colin ripped open the hotel robe she wore and pushed it off. His hands spanned her waist, his fingers finding her clan mark. She s.h.i.+vered when he touched it, her skin rippling. For a moment, he thought he could see the outline of dark glittery scales beneath her skin, but then the illusion disappeared. He took her mouth in another deep kiss, his tongue parting the seam of her lips. A groan escaped her.

Eden's hands went to his belt, unbuckling it with the swift skill of a woman who handled straps on a regular basis.

Vaguely he recalled that she'd mentioned being into all kinds of kinky stuff. He didn't care. Right now, he just wanted to be inside her. He could smell her arousal and it fueled his.

She freed his c.o.c.k and pushed his pants and briefs down. She knelt, tugging off his shoes and socks. As she stood, her fingers trailed along the length of his erection. His c.o.c.k ached and Colin thought his head would explode.

f.u.c.k it, he thought as he caught her fingers in his. He spun her around, pressing her front against the wall. His hips rubbed against her a.s.s, his c.o.c.k gliding along the crease between her b.u.t.tocks. She moaned and he leaned over her shoulder catching her mouth with his.

They both panted roughly, the sound loud in the big room. Eden placed her palms flat on the wall, arching her back and pus.h.i.+ng her a.s.s against him. Colin's hands slipped between her thighs, pressing them apart. His long fingers dipped into her p.u.s.s.y, rubbing the wetness all over her swollen lips. She jerked a little then leaned back against him, her long black hair spilling over his shoulder. Colin lifted one hand to cup her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, twisting and pulling her tight nipples.

For long minutes, they stood in that position, Colin's c.o.c.k cradled between Eden's b.u.t.tocks, one of his hands teasing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s while the other played with her p.u.s.s.y. Her head leaned on his shoulder, her amber eyes glazed with desire, the pupils elongated. Little puffs of smoke came from her nostrils and a pale pink flush began to creep over her torso.

Seeing the s.e.xual flush, Colin pressed her forward again, his hands bending her at the waist a little. Eden rested her cheek on the wallpaper as his thighs pushed hers apart. He nudged her wet flesh with the thick head of his c.o.c.k, and once again, he saw her skin ripple in that odd way, showing the vague tracing of her scales. Then he thrust into her, his c.o.c.k filling her from behind.

He couldn't tell if the loud moan belonged to him or her. He'd become mindless. His d.i.c.k throbbed so hard he thought it would burst and it was encased in the hottest, wettest, tightest female flesh he had ever f.u.c.ked. He thrust without thinking, his instincts in the driver's seat of his body. He licked the side of her neck, making little growling noises as he thrust heavily into her. Vaguely, in the back of his mind, he wondered if he hurt her. After all, she was tight and he was big. And he'd shown her no consideration whatsoever.

Colin held her tightly around the waist as his hips slapped noisily against her a.s.s. His fangs unsheathed, sc.r.a.ping their way along her neck. She seemed to like the feel of them on her skin because she s.h.i.+vered every time the sharp points poked her. The smell of her blood filled him, a red haze of blood thirst coming over him...

His arm held her firmly, like an iron bar around her waist. His other hand slipped between her thighs, rubbing her c.l.i.t. If he wanted to bite her, she would be unable to resist. She was helpless in this position.

The bloodl.u.s.t rose to an unbearable level within him. He knew that if he didn't come soon, he would commit a grave sin against her by biting her. He'd never had such a strong urge to drink from a woman before. The sensation was seductive and dangerous at the same time.

Fighting back the urge to sink his fangs into her throat, Colin flicked his fingers over her c.l.i.t as he thrust inside her.

With a keening cry, she came, her fingernails leaving half moon bruises on his arms. He pumped into her with short strokes, feeling his b.a.l.l.s pull tight to his body. Her wet depths clung to him and every stroke made a loud squishy sound that sent s.h.i.+vers through him. The erotic sound of her ragged breathing, the wet sound of her swollen flesh pulling at him, the sigh that caught in her throat as he flicked his fingers over her c.l.i.t again... everything led him to the brink...

He sucked at her neck a little and she jerked, a second o.r.g.a.s.m hitting her. Unable to withstand any more, Colin crashed over the edge of sensation into the heated bliss of a powerful o.r.g.a.s.m. His c.o.c.k throbbed, swelling within her tight pa.s.sage as his c.u.m filled her. Instinctively, Colin opened his mouth and the points of his fangs started to pierce her skin. With a jerk, he pulled his mouth away, just shy of breaking her skin. He shuddered, from the force of his o.r.g.a.s.m and from a sliver of fear at what he had almost done.

Eden hung limply from the arm he had around her waist. She s.h.i.+vered a little, her p.u.s.s.y still clutching his now deflating c.o.c.k. Colin pulled out of her and she moaned. Bending, he slipped an arm beneath her knees and carried her to the bed. He laid her on the fresh sheets, her raven hair spread across the white pillows. Her golden eyes gleamed up at him as he pressed one knee into the mattress, leaning over to kiss her.

Her arms came up and wound around his neck, pulling him down to her. ”I don't know why. I don't know how. I just... don't know... but... I missed you today,” she said softly, her eyes holding his.

Colin could see the serious, puzzled expression in her eyes. She had been on his mind all day too. When he'd gotten her text message, he hadn't even thought about what to do. He'd acted on pure gut instinct... to be with her. The enormity of what that might mean hit him, and he collapsed at her side, pulling her into his arms. She curled into his chest, her palms rubbing over his pierced nipples.

Eden was a strong woman. Colin knew this with every fiber of his being. Her confession about missing him was no small thing. For people like them, Alphas, letting people in, letting them get close to you, could be problematic. It had taken a lot for her to admit he'd been on her mind all day. Not wanting her to think that her trust in him was misplaced, Colin rubbed his cheek on her hair.

”I couldn't stop thinking about you. All day I watched the clock and kept checking my phone, thinking I'd missed your call,” he admitted.
