Saving the Beast(61)

“Zane,” she whispered, emotion chocking her and halting her voice.

“Shhh,” he said again. “Let me love you.”

She nodded and slowly moved away, sliding open the glass and stepping out. She could hear him washing up in the shower as she grabbed towels then went about drying her skin and hair as best she could. She heard the water shut off as she stepped out of the bathroom. She went straight to the bed and pulled down the covers. Then she stood there, glancing around as she tried to decide what to do. Should she search for something sexy to put on? Light a candle? Get on the bed and wait for him? The thought of sprawling naked on the mattress as she waited brought a smile to her lips.

“Now that’s a beautiful sight,” Zane said, and she glanced over to see him lounging against the doorframe of the bathroom. He wore only a towel wrapped at his waist. Still, it did nothing to hide the arousal he had for her.

“What is?”

“You, standing by the bed waiting for me with nothing on but a smile.” He crossed toward her, stopping and cupping her chin with his hand. “A man would do anything to end every day like this.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said. She gasped as he moved quickly, sweeping her up in his arms before crawling onto the bed and lying her down.

“Keep this in mind,” he said and took her mouth with his.

How was it possible for a man to bring a woman so close to orgasm with just his kiss? She wasn’t sure, but Zane did it. His tongue swept hers, leading it back into his mouth where he sucked greedily, making her nipples ache and her sex clench with need. She panted when he pulled back from her.

“Now then,” he said. “I believe I was going to start at your toes.”

She reached for him, wrapping her hands around his shaft and gliding her fingers down over the head. He tensed and gave a groan between clenched teeth.

“I’d rather start with this,” she told him and ran her hand along his length, brushing his taut balls before heading back to the crown.

“Diane.”

There was a wealth of need in the way he said her name, and a measure of warning in the tone of his voice.

“Now,” she demanded. “I need you inside me, now.”

His gaze met hers, and this time she felt as if his eyes glowed for her and only her. Man and beast, both hers and both wanting her as much as she wanted them. He slid between her thighs and let her guide him to the wet heat of her pussy. Then with their gazes locked, he slowly entered her. She moaned, lifting arms and legs to cradle him to her.

“You’re skin is so soft, so beautiful,” he whispered, his lips brushing hers. “I feel as if I’ve lived a million lives waiting for you.”

“I’m here, now, and I’m not going anywhere,” she promised him. “I love you.”

“I love you,” he said and began moving, surging deep with every press of his hips.

“Yes,” she cried, clinging to him, rocking her hips up to meet his every thrust.

Orgasm ripped through her, and still he surged within her, urging her ever higher, taking her to heights she’d never imagined possible. She crested again and again until she lost count of the number of orgasms he’d brought her to. He finally gave a harsh cry and sunk his teeth into her, and she felt the heated splash of his seed filling her. When he finally relaxed, she was a boneless mass of flesh beneath him.

He collapsed to the bed beside her, rolling her into his arms and cuddling her against his chest. It was exactly where she wanted to be, where she never wanted to leave.

“Are you okay?” he asked after a moment.

“I’m… I don’t think a word exists to explain how good I feel.”

“Is that so?” he asked with a chuckle.

“Mhmm,” she agreed. “I feel like I could sleep for days.”

“Go to sleep then,” he urged.

“We should probably go upstairs. I need to check on Abby and her baby girl. You should probably talk to Tah and Reno, see if Logan has returned.” She stopped, giving a loud yawn.

“It can wait until tomorrow,” he said. “Logan and Reno will take care of Gideon and his two. Tah, I’m sure, wants to be with his mate and child. And I want to be with mine.”

“We need to check on Kenzie, too,” Diane said around another yawn. Her eyes were drifting shut, and it was getting harder to force them back open.

“Shhh,” Zane told her. “Sleep.”

“You won’t leave me?” she asked.

“I’ll be beside you for the rest of our lives,” he promised, and she felt the brush of his lips over her temple.

She cuddled closer, resting her head on his shoulder, one leg thrown over his and an arm across his flat belly. When she was comfortably wrapped around him, she gave in to the need for sleep.
