Calum ran into the house to see Shaelan laying there on her side, naked and shaking. She was probably in shock. He cursed silently for not being with her again. “Shae…”
She rolled over onto her back and was laughing quietly. “That was amazing.” She smiled at him, then rolled and started crawling to him slowly. Stalking him as if she were still in her cat form.
Calum swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry and just watched. He couldn’t have communicated with his legs to get them to move to her, even if there had been a dire need that they moved.
“I think I like being a cat,” she said in a soft whisper as she continued toward him.
He hoped she didn’t want him to actually answer, because he was having problems remembering how to speak. Dropping to his knees, he watched the slow, elegant movement of her graceful body. Never in his life had he been rendered speechless by such exquisiteness.
She stopped a few feet from him. “Cat got your tongue?” She smiled.
Huffing out a breath, he nodded with a slow motion. “And any other part she wants.”
Stopping, she knelt when they were close enough to feel the heat from each other’s bodies but weren’t actually touching. She smiled again and his cat stilled at the same time his breath hitched in his throat when he saw the sharp incisors in her mouth.
“I think I need to fix my mark…now that I can.” She moved slowly and climbed onto his lap and licked over her mark gently.
His body shuddered with need, so hot and fast he fought to breathe, grabbing her waist, he pulled her tight against him. If anyone interrupted them, he was killing them without pause. Her bare flesh pressing against his upper body made him growl softly.
She wrapped her legs around him and squeezed. “Mmm, I like your animal side.”
Grasping the back of her head, he pulled it back and looked into her eyes that were already heavy with lust. He kissed her mouth, forcing hers to open for him. When she did, he stabbed his tongue in and felt the sharp edges of her teeth. Growling again, he stood in one motion and started heading for the hallway.
Breaking the kiss, she licked down his jaw and over her mark again. With a soft growl that sounded like she said mine, she bit into his neck over her other mark and his knees buckled. Hitting the wall with his shoulders, he locked his legs so they wouldn’t land on the floor. He held her head where it was, reveling in the feel of her claiming him.
Reaching with his other hand, he boosted her up higher, then tugged at his jeans to undo them. She used her legs to push them out of the way, as eager as he was to be joined in all ways. Before he could brace himself, she lowered herself onto him, her tight muscles squeezing his throbbing shaft as she did. He smacked his head against the wall when he stiffened and gasped, it felt that good.
Turning, he supported their weight with one hand on the wall and grasped her ass to help her ride him. When she moaned deep in her throat, she released her bite and licked over her mark before grabbing his hair and pulling his mouth to hers.
Stumbling with his jeans half down, he headed toward her room and flung the door open. He saw her dresser and leaned against the edge of it, lowering her back onto it. Whatever had been on it crashed to the floor, but she still kept kissing him like she was trying to consume him, and he had no plans to hinder her.
Bracing a hand on the surface, he pulled his head back and looked down her body to where they were joined. Straightening, he slid out of her a few inches, then thrust into her. She moaned as their bodies connected, drawing his attention back up her body. Grasping her knee, he pulled her leg higher on his waist and began thrusting into her, going deeper. She reached up and pulled his head down toward her breast where her hand was rubbing over his mark on the soft flesh.
Shaelan was on fire. It was as if her cat, now fully realized, had taken over and was in need of feeling his. She couldn’t explain it, didn’t want to; all she knew was if he didn’t stop being so gentle and careful with her, she was going to scream. She needed to feel his teeth pierce her flesh now that she fully understood the emotions that went with it.
Grasping his hair tightly, she pulled his head toward her breast. “Calum…” she moaned as their bodies connected again making her hunger for him stronger. She didn’t know how to voice what she wanted. She could barely focus to guide his movement.
His mouth closed over her aching nipple, and she arched her back and moaned again. Hooking her heels behind his back, she encouraged him to move faster. Her hands released her head and she slid them over any part of his bare flesh she could reach. When he bit into her breast over his other mark, she felt the claws in her fingers dig into his shoulders.
He growled low and began thrusting with a force that would have sent her falling to the floor if she hadn’t been holding on. A sound as deep as her cats’ cry came out of her throat and heat went straight to her core.
Her mind was a blur, all she knew was she needed more. As if sensing it, he pulled her teeth from her breast and moved to the other one. When his teeth sunk into it, she screamed and her body exploded in an orgasm so powerful, she was only able to gasp for air and ride it out.
Calum pulled from her in a sudden movement and leaned down over her to lick up her thigh and over her sensitive pulsing flesh. With a grunt, he moved his mouth to her the bottom of her leg, right where it met her buttocks and bit into her again. Shae’s boy convulsed and began to climb again.
She couldn’t even find the strength to move at this point, then found herself being lifted and gently tossed to the bed face down. With a growl from behind her, he was pulling her hips up and drove into her wet folds again. Her body exploded with so many sensations at once, she could only moan.
His mouth found his mark on her neck and as his teeth sunk in, her body shattered in another orgasm that was so close to pain there was no way to differentiate. Calum lifted his mouth and stiffened over her as his heat flooded into her, making her quiver once again.
Unable to hold her limp body up any longer, she slid to lay flat on the bed, his weight falling on top of her as she did. The sound of the bed frame breaking echoed in the silence of their heavy breathing.
“Earth moved,” he panted beside her ear.
She would have laughed, but she still couldn’t catch her breath. “Bed broke,” she whispered.
“That too,” he gasped.
She didn’t know how long they lay there like that. She didn’t care; her whole body was buzzing, and it was unlike any feeling she’d ever had. When he shifted his weight off her, he pulled her with him so they were laying face to face. Later, when she recovered, she’d laugh at how it must have looked to be on the mattress, tilting on a broken frame. She was pretty sure it was slowly sliding to one side, and them with it. “I think I need a new bed.”
He grinned with his eyes closed. “Love, you need a whole new room. This one is wrecked.”
Chuckling, she leaned her head against his chest and listened to the pounding of his heart. “I’ve been a little busy to worry about housekeeping.”
Calum snorted. “I don’t care if it’s a disaster, as long as you’re in it…I’m there.”
Remembering her claws, she propped up on her elbow and lifted his arm. Down the side of his ribs were tiny punctures from her where her fingers dug in. “We’re going to be scarred from head to toe,” she said, then gnawed on her bottom lip.
Opening his eyes, he looked at her. “Ones I’ll wear with pride.”
She glanced down to her breast. “I need to talk to Nona about those.” She looked up at him again. “Do you think they’ll damage them?” He gave her a curious look. “For breast feeding…I love children.” She felt her face blush.
Propping his arm under his head, his eyes moved down over her breasts in a slow appreciative way. “Is it perverted that I’m turned on by the thought of our child at your breast?”
She laughed. “I don’t think so.” Kissing his mouth softly, she smiled. “I think it’s endearing.”
His green eyes caressed over her face. “I’m a bit worried about when your heat hits, love…” He smirked. “We may need oxygen masks and IVs to live through it.”
Her eyes went wide. “I can’t even comprehend it being…” Her cheeks flushed. “…possible to be more…need between us.”
His lips brushed over hers, “I look forward to the challenge.” Turning, he looked around the room. “I think we should probably go check on the aftermath of what happened before you distracted me.”
“I didn’t distract you…”
He sorted. “You did, but I’m not complaining. You can stalk me looking that hot, anytime you want.” He winked. “I’ll even let you tie me up.”
She blushed. “I’ve already had you chained up. Is tying up as appealing?”
Calum’s eyes moved over her slowly, “I think anything with you would fall into that too hot to handle category.” He grinned. “But I’m willing to try. I almost fainted from the lack of blood to my brain when you came stalking toward me as a sexy, gorgeous black cat.”
She stiffened, having forgotten entirely that she’d taken down Leroy. Scrambling off the bed, she looked around in the scattered clothes to find something she could put on. She stopped and studied him as he watched her. “Thank you, by the way.”
He smirked. “Oh…anytime.”
She shook her head. “Not for—” She waved to the bed. “—that. I meant for letting me end it my way.”
He sat up. “It was your right, and I will have your back, always.”
Grabbing the first thing she recognized, she pulled on the black skirt, then paused and looked from it to him.
He growled low. “I remember that skirt.” Easing up off the bed, he leaned down and kissed his mark on her breast. “Don’t wear anything under it, just in case.”
Her cheeks flushed again. Turning she watched him pull on his jeans, as muscles flexed from his movement, she smiled to herself. Just in case was a good idea.
