Caught Beast Mate(18)

“Is that so?”

“You know what? I’m gonna head on over to the laundry and get new sheets. You can get comfortable inside the tub.”

“Stay,” he barked and picked up the sheets. He tied the ends over his middle. “Is this better?”

“There are underpants in the closet over there.”

“I don’t wear them.”

I chuckled. “Daddy always goes commando.”

Torrent tsked. “I’m not your daddy.” He sat back down. “Need to wrap the dressing. The cut isn’t closed yet.”

“Right.” From the supplies in the closet, I got a plastic wrap and secured it around the wound. Then we managed to get his heavy frame inside the tub. He leaned back, a big smile on his face while I sat back on the chair. I tried not to estimate the length of his teeth or the length of the thing between his legs. And I tried to ignore his large hand on my knee and how my cheeks burned when he began swiping his thumb over my skin.

Picking up the sponge, I said, “Nice tats.” I ran the sponge down his chest.

He pointed to the dark blue mass right under his left armpit. “This is Daveko Sea and Singidun City, capital of Tineya. My house would’ve been here, my parents next door, my aunts here. Well, the entire flock of us live on this beach.”

“Do you miss the sea?” If I kept him talking, he’d deflate that big thing between his legs.

“Yes.” His hand traveled up and paused at my thigh, his thumb caressing the sensitive skin.

“There is a lake on Big Bear,” I said, even though he already knew. He told me so when he asked about Priest. “Daddy would get worms before we went fishing. Do your people fish?”

“On the other beach.”

This time, I poked his chest. “Here?”

“Pero Sea, on the west, is where we fish.”

“What do your fish look like?”

He spread his arms wide. “Huge.”

And yes! His hand was off my thigh. “Must make for a nice meal.” In my excitement over fishing, I hadn’t noticed I’d dropped the sponge and had been washing him with my bare hand. I hadn’t noticed until Torrent’s eyes paled and his gaze dropped on my hand resting on his lower abdomen. I froze there and fisted it, his manhood fully grown, curved, and the tip of it touching the back of my arm.

I jerked my hand away.

Torrent caught it. Man, he was fast.

But gentle.

He peeled open my fingernails and put my palm back over his lower abdominals. They tightened under my touch. “It’s just a dick, baby.”

“I know what it is.”

“I’m telling you because you didn’t get the pussy joke from yesterday.”

I frowned. “Sweet pussy. I thought you wanted to eat cats. I’m not quick on the uptake.”

“That’s not true.”

“It is. People talk, and I find myself tuning them out unless they’re talking about something that interests me.”

“That’s not slow on the uptake.”

“Whatever you say.”

“I presume my dick is of no interest to you.”

“It isn’t.”

Torrent leaned in and put a hand over the back of my neck. He tugged. Gentle, not hard, so I could resist him. I didn’t resist. Caught in the moment, I forgot I hated him. I thought he’d kiss me, but he didn’t. Instead, he buried his nose in my hair and inhaled, then whispered in my ear. “If someone else has asked you touch them, I want you to tell me.”

I shook my head. “No one.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Only you.”

“You’re welcome to touch. It doesn’t have teeth. I want to feel you touch it. I dream about your small hand stroking it. So you know, nobody will take your supper away if you leave now. But if you stay, I will make it worth your while.” He lowered the sheet. His manhood sprang up like a dagger. Torrent took my hand in his and put it over his cock. It was smooth and hard. He moved our hands up and down while the fingers of his other hand tightened in my hair and he peppered small kisses on my cheek so I could hear his breaths hitch as we stroked him. “Your hand feels so good on me. You’re gonna get me off. Keep going.” His hand left mine and snuck under my dress.

My cheeks burned.

My whole body burned like a furnace.

My breaths came out hitched and uneven.

He touched my panties, ran his finger over the seam. “Fuck, I can smell you.” He groaned. “Your panties are wet.” He moved them aside, and his clever fingers played at my entrance. I grew hotter, my breaths now coming out in pants, and I squeezed his dick when he inserted his finger inside me.

“Do that again, baby.”
