Savage Hunger(41)

Must keep control became his mantra as Warrick maneuvered his thumbs beneath the edge of her panties and slowly tugged them down. Each delicious naked inch of her lower body he exposed had his muscles tightening with desire.

The golden curls that shielded her sex glistened with juices. Already the pink lips were swollen and slightly parted by her position, giving a glimpse of the cream between.

Sienna. God, how many nights had he lain awake fantasizing about this? Stroking himself to release with her image in his mind. How many women had he taken to his bed wishing it were her? And now here she was in the flesh. Under the most fucked-up circumstances imaginable and still just as forbidden as always.

Damn she was so sexy. Her pale blonde hair spread out on the pillow, the T-shirt clinging to the swell of her breasts, and her lower body completely naked for him to do whatever he wanted. She was so vulnerable. But there was no fear in her gaze. Only that heady arousal and trust he didn’t deserve. Not when the wolf inside him clawed dangerously close to the surface, trying to conquer the human, logical side of him. The wolf that only focused on the scent of her arousal and the knowledge that right now she was his. She’d always been his—if he’d wanted to take her.

“Warrick.”

His name, breathy, on her lips brought his human side back to dominance. Her pleasure tonight would be enough. It had to be enough.

With a growl low in his throat, he slid his hands on a path up her thighs, his breath catching at her softness and curves. His palms cupped the roundness of her bottom and he squeezed the fleshy globes and lifted her off the mattress, burying his face between her legs.

A choked gasp passed Sienna’s lips and her hands moved to his shoulders. But she made no effort to push him away and he wouldn’t have allowed her to anyway, not now that he’d had his first taste of her.

Oh damn. The slickness of her arousal was like goddamned ambrosia on his tongue. The sharpness of her cries and the way her nails pierced his skin hurled him down a river of need and loss of control he’d never faced before.

But he held on by a shred. Letting his head spin with the intoxicating taste of her, while ignoring the persistent throb of his cock. This was all for Sienna.

He moved his tongue to find the hard little nub, buried between her swollen folds, and teased it mercilessly. Sucking, flicking and using the way she moved and her sobs of ecstasy to guide him.

It didn’t take long before she let out a sharp scream, her trembling thighs clenching around his head and her ass lifted from his hands. He gentled his touch, kissing her inner thighs as her body quaked through the climax. Until she went limp on the mattress with a long gasp of air.

Warrick eased from between her thighs, placing a kiss on her trembling stomach before moving up her body. A wave of doubt slid through him when he saw her bright, glazed eyes and the tears that shimmered in them.

“Sienna, baby,” he muttered raggedly. “Are you okay?”

She bit her lip and closed her eyes, shaking her head, but then turning it into a nod. “It’s just I’ve never…I never thought it would be so incredible.”

Pleasure and possessiveness rocketed through him, and a low growl built in his throat as he cupped the back of her neck and crushed his mouth down on hers. Claiming her and making her taste herself.

She didn’t push away, but clung to him, kissing him back vehemently. Curling her tongue around his and sucking in a way that promised she wasn’t as innocent as she’d once been. Warrick’s cock stirred and the dark need rose once more inside him.

No. Ripping his mouth from hers, he set her away from him once more and struggled to breathe.

“I can’t. No more, baby.” He shook his head and stared down at her closed eyes and swollen lips, stunned at the ferocity with which he was driven to take her.

Her lashes fluttered up to reveal a crystal blue gaze that glittered with passion. “And what if I asked you again to make love to me?”

Then he’d have a hell of time stopping himself from spreading her thighs again and entering her like the fucking animal he was. Dammit, it was incredible how close she pushed him to the brink.

His body was rigid from the control he fought to hold on to. Cupping her cheek he muttered, “You know that I can’t, Sienna. Don’t tempt me any more than you already have.”

She sighed and nipped at his finger. “You’ve gotten me all warmed up now, Warrick. That was like an appetizer to the main course. You started this, I sure as hell wish you’d finish it.”

His body heated further and he bit back a growl of need. He dipped his finger along the soft crease of her mouth, teasing the dampness inside.
