Red Moon Rising(58)

“Yes.” He pushed into her and she bit her lip with pleasure. He rocked back and forth, his hand slipping between their bodies to cup her breasts. They kissed until Bree was breathless. She kissed his neck, trailing her tongue down his throat and then kissing his broad chest. She tasted his warm skin, nipping at his collarbone as his cock moved in her in a smooth, slide and retreat motion.

Their soft moans and gasps filled the tiny room as they touched and kissed, and rocked against each other. Finally, when James was shaking with need, he reached between them and rubbed her clit, bringing her to another explosive orgasm. Her pussy tightened around his cock as she came, and he groaned her name and gave in to the sweet release that his body was screaming for.

Panting harshly, she buried her face in his neck and wrapped her thin arms around him.

“How do you feel little one?”

“I feel super.” She muttered sleepily, making him grin into the darkness.

He stroked her hair as her breathing slowed and she relaxed against him. He would let her sleep for a couple of hours and then wake her again. He had no idea if she would allow him into her bed again after tonight, and he planned on taking advantage of her willingness.

He pulled her closer and buried his face in her soft hair. Gods, he had fallen for her, and fallen for her hard. The thought of her leaving him, of never seeing her again, filled him with a wordless horror and his arms tightened involuntarily around her. She squirmed against him in her sleep and he loosened his grip.

He would rescue her brother even if it meant losing her. He stared into the darkness. Perhaps he could speak with her brother, convince him how much Bree meant to him and that he would never hurt her. He sighed softly. He couldn’t let her leave him. She needed him and he needed her.





Chapter 18




Early the next morning, he nuzzled his face into her hair and kissed the side of her neck until she woke.

“James?”

“Were you expecting someone else?” He arched his eyebrow at her and she giggled softly.

He smiled at her. “I have to go honey. It’s not a good idea for me to stay in your bed any longer.”

“Are you afraid you’ll bite me?” She asked bluntly. She knew full well that a Lycan’s bite during the full moon would turn a human.

He hesitated. “I would never hurt you Bree. But it’s harder to control certain urges during the full moon.” His eyes took on a strange shine as he said the word moon, and she shivered a little.

He hugged her. “I won’t hurt you.”

“I know. Do you still want me to stay in my room?”

He traced the curve of her naked hip with one rough finger and winked at her. “No. I think I can control my urge to fuck you now.”

She blushed a little. He had taken her three more times in the night, and she wondered if his stamina was always like this or if the cycle of the moon had something to do with it.

“What are you thinking about little one?” He asked.

“I – “ She blushed again and he kissed her forehead.

“Tell me.”

“I just wondered if you always had this much um, energy or if it’s the moon.”

He grinned at her. “My ego is begging me to tell you it’s all me, but in honesty the full moon does play a small part.”

She wiggled her eyebrows at him. “Just a small part?”

He growled playfully. “Yes, just a small part. I’ll prove it to you later.”

The smile fell from her face. “You will be with Martine later.”

He shook his head immediately. “No, I won’t be.”

“You won’t be able to help yourself. Before you – “

“I told you before Bree – I was young and impulsive. It was a mistake and it won’t happen again.”

“Have you been around her during a full moon since then?” She asked quietly.

“No.” He admitted. “But I want you, not her. I won’t do anything but hunt with her tonight. I promise you.”

He stroked her bare side. “You don’t need to stay in your room, but I want you to keep your distance from me today okay? Don’t get too close to me or my siblings.”

She nodded. “Alright.”

He kissed her a final time. “Go back to sleep honey.”

“Gods, my thighs hurt.” Maya groaned as she sat down on the couch next to Avery. “I swear, every full moon Marshall comes up with new and inventive ways to – “

She stopped as Dani entered the room and Avery grinned before putting her arm around Maya’s slender shoulders.

“I feel great.”

“Of course you do.” Maya laughed. “It’s just one of the many benefits of being a healer.”
