She opened her mouth wide, only taking the tip inside, using her strong jaw muscles to suck. The heat of her sweet lips drew me into another level of darkness. I closed my eyes, savoring the feel of her wetness. She eased her hand between my legs, fondling my balls. They were heavy and laden with cum. Soon, I would shoot my load deep inside, filling her with my seed.

  The second she squeezed my testicles, I let off a roar, the volume vibrating in the dense space.

  After sliding her tongue back and forth across my sensitive slit, she licked down the underside, rolling her hand to the base of my cock. She pumped my shaft as she licked around first one testicle then the other, finally pulling a single ball into her mouth and sucking.

  The friction from her hand as well as the heat of her mouth was almost too much to bear. I was pushed into a sweet vacuum, my desires and filthy thoughts off the charts. Growling, I kept my fingers tangled in her hair as she toyed with me, refusing to stop her taunting ways. While I wanted her to enjoy, my hunger continued to grow, pushing past the point of no return.

  She continued twisting her hand back and forth as she licked up the length of my shaft, finally engulfing several inches. Rising onto her knees, she thrust her head down several times, moaning past the thick invasion consuming her mouth.

  Panting, I realized I was unsteady on my feet, my body swaying as the sensations increased, becoming red-hot bolts of current. The sheer power of her hold over me was incredible.

  When she took my cock deeper into her mouth, I couldn’t stand it any longer, taking over full control. I forced her mouth down until the tip hit the back of her throat. Her body tensed as she attempted to control her gag reflexes, struggling to breathe. I held her still for a few seconds until her throat relaxed, then began to fuck her mouth in long, hard drives. I rolled onto the balls of my feet, jutting my hips forward as I thrust in even motions, tossing my head back and forth.

  Her strangled mews continued, her breathing ragged.

  I was losing control, the beast of the night requiring release. As I picked up the momentum, I considered filling her mouth, forcing her to take every drop. When I was close to coming, my balls ready to erupt, I took a deep breath and pulled out, rolling the tip of my cock around her still open mouth.

  “Are you ready to be feasted on, sweet human?”

  “Mmmm… Yes.”

  Reaching down, I yanked her into the air, pushing her back against the wall. I couldn’t wait even long enough to get to her bedroom. I didn’t care about being gentle or about romancing my needs, my thirst for her far too significant. I kept her aloft, forcing her legs over my shoulders, and buried my face in her sweet wetness.

  “Oh, God. Oh…” Writhing and moaning, she slapped at the wall as if I would ever allow her to fall.

  I thrust my tongue past her swollen folds, languishing in the taste of her. So tangy. So damn sweet. I could do this for hours, bringing her to several orgasms, one after the other. As I lapped her cream, she continued to struggle, half laughing then whimpering as she tossed her head from side to side.

  Every swipe of my rough tongue forced her muscles to clench then release. I dragged the tip up to her clit, taking my time and swirling it around her tender tissue before biting down. Every time I repeated the action, her little bud swelled.

  “God. You’re… This is…” She laughed softly again, unable to finish her sentence, but I could easily read her dirty little mind as she begged me to continue.

  I fulfilled her wish, licking and nipping her delicious pussy lips then driving my tongue as deep inside as possible. In less than another minute, I brought her to the very brink of her first climax then pulled back, gently sliding my tongue up and down.

  “Lick me. Suck me. Fuck me,” she murmured, her fingers still trying to dig into the wall.

  There was such pleasure in bringing her close. As I knew she wasn’t going to be able to hold back much longer, I buried my tongue inside once again.

  “Oh. Oh. Oh!” Her scream filtered into the air, her body convulsing as the orgasm hit her hard. She wrapped her legs around my neck, squeezing as she dropped her head, a smile crossing her face.

  I refused to stop, continuing to lick and suck, pushing her into another orgasm, this time her scream almost silent. And still I continued to lick, pushing every boundary as I savored every drop.

  “You’re so bad. So bad and so… good,” she managed, her eyes only half open.

  Slowly lowering her to the floor, I slid my hands over her shoulders, cupping her bottom. “I am your master, little one. And I’m very hungry.” I crushed my mouth over hers, allowing her to taste just how sweet she really was.

  She slowly eased her hands around my neck, entangling her fingers in my hair as she undulated her body back and forth. Always the little tease. She parted her lips then eased her tongue inside my mouth, darting it back and forth.

  I held her against me, pushing my cock into her belly as the kiss erupted into something animalistic and raw. I couldn’t seem to get enough of her, dominating her tongue as I ground my hips against her. She molded against me as the heat exploded between us, our hearts beating as one, our souls singing together.

  And I heard her thoughts, her desires continuing to build.

  Fuck me.

  Take me.

  Use me.

  I would do so gladly. Nothing was going to stop me. As I broke the kiss, I shifted hair away from her shoulders, cupping both sides of her face. “You are precious to me, but some things are going to occur that will be dangerous.”

  A knowing appeared in her eyes as well as intense sadness. “I know.”

  That wasn’t going to stop me from ravaging her body throughout the night. A growl rumbled in my chest, matching the thunderous roar of the storm that continued to rage outside. As the lightning continued to flash, the thunder creating vibrations beneath our feet, I gathered her into my arms, taking sweeping long strides through her house. I knew every inch of the space, could easily find her bedroom.

  The blinds remained open, tree limbs swaying against the two windows in a violent dance, highlighted by the vivid flashes of lightning. I could clearly see her eyes as she studied mine, searching for answers, trying to understand the powerful connection that continued to grow. Soon, I would explain everything. Our way of life. Her importance.

  And the danger we would obviously face.

  Soon, she would become my queen and perhaps it would begin to heal the people of my Streak. There was even a chance that cubs could soon be born. Although I remained skeptical that my power was truly the answer to saving our kind. However, I was the alpha.

  And I was finally prepared to rule.

  As she clung to me, her fingers still tangled in my long hair, I realized just how important she’d become, but not just in the destiny the senior leaders had foretold. Her enlightened aura was exactly what I needed, even if her heart remained fragile. I was forced to face the fact that I couldn’t live without her.

  Nor could she live without her mate.

  I lowered my head, inhaling until every cell was full of her sensual fragrance, tingling what little was left of my soul. “You are very special, Nicolina.”

  She placed her long fingers around my cheek and jaw, rubbing her thumb back and forth across my lips. “I hate that word. I’m just a girl.”

  “You’re a luscious woman.” I pressed a kiss against her thumb before lowering her to the bed then easing back. She remained unblinking as I crawled onto the bed, straddling her legs. I yanked first one arm then the other over her head, forcing her hands together. “You will not move. If you do, you will be punished.”

  While her smile was playful, her lower lip quivered, her body trembling when another round of thunder boomed just outside.

  “You have nothing to fear, little one.” I planted my hands on either side of her, very slowly lowering down until I was able to press my lips against hers. The shooting vibrations of electricity coursing between us were incredible, tingling my nerve endings. There was no way to describe the heightened sensations. As my body continued to try to shift, my beast accepting the mating call, there wasn’t a cell in my body that hadn’t erupted in a raging fire.

  I kissed her softly, using my lips to open hers, darting my tongue just inside.

  Nicolina shuddered, trying desperately to arch her back as she attempted to control her own needs. We were fighting a delicate line between savoring our coupling and fucking like wild animals. While my instinct was to take her hard and fast, it was vital that our mating was completed. It was important that she learned to trust me. If not, there would be no way I could keep her safe.

  The kiss was the most tender experience I’d had with any woman, our tongues meshing together, our lips lightly brushing back and forth. Yet another guttural sound erupted from the depth of my being, my hunger shifting into the stratosphere. I broke the sweet intimacy, shifting my lips to her chin.

  Moaning, she lifted her head, her eyes barely open as she twisted her hands together, her body undulating in a provocative yet understated manner.

  A rumble continued slipping past my lips as I explored her body, kissing and licking down the side of her neck before slicing the tip from one shoulder to the other. Then I dragged my tongue between her breasts, growling and nipping her tender flesh.

  “Oh… I’m so wet,” she whispered hoarsely, her chest rising and falling as she opened her legs as wide as possible.

  I shifted onto all fours, continuing my journey, swirling my tongue around her hardened nipple before pulling it between my teeth and sucking. She reacted by exhaling in an exaggerated fashion, fighting to keep her hands over her head.

  “Be good, my sweet pet.”

  She purred her response, biting her lower lip and opening her eyes wide.

  I slid my lips to her other breast, repeating my effort, my heart racing as I shoved my beast back into his cage. The heat from her skin as well as the taste were powerful aphrodisiacs, every muscle in my body tensing in anticipation of taking her.

  After blowing across her chest, I dragged my tongue further down, nipping her skin from one side to the other.

  Jerking up, she gasped, an involuntary laugh pushing past her voluptuous lips. “You’re so bad.”

  “Mmmm… You have no idea.” Chuckling darkly, I swirled the tip of my tongue around her bellybutton before darting it just inside. Her skittish laugh was a reminder that she was still very human, her body responding to my tender touch at an entirely different level than it had before. She opened and closed her eyes several times, arching her back and stretching her legs against mine.

  “Fuck me. Please just fuck me.”

  Her begging words were such enticing music. I shifted my cock back and forth across the tops of her thighs before crawling between her legs. When I lifted one into my hands, she seemed surprised, her breathing even more ragged than before as she tossed her head back and forth.

  I ran the tips of my fingers down the inside of her leg, dancing them along her knee then to her calf. Her toes were pointed, her knees slightly bent. She was absolutely mouth-watering, her skin now over-sensitized.

  “Gggrrr…”

  She laughed from the sound of my voice, whimpering when I dragged my tongue across the top of her foot, shifting to her other leg then peppering kisses along her thigh. Her body began to tremble even more, her moans becoming raspy.

  “Such a beautiful creature. I could feast on you for days. I could eat you for hours, bringing you to orgasm after orgasm.”

  “Do it. Just do it.”

  Just hearing the sexual tone of her voice, so sensuous and so husky, was exhilarating. My beast refused to be denied, my eyes shifting, allowing me to see every detail of her as if it was daylight. Her skin shimmered, her flaming red hair like a beacon of sin, calling to me.

  Driving me.

  Tempting me.

  I refused to lose any additional control, licking up to the inside of her other thigh, the scent of her feminine wiles the kind of fragrance that drove a man insane. I barely brushed my lips across her pussy, relishing in the way her long legs quivered.

  “Oh. Oh. Oh!”

  When I lifted her legs, crawling in between them, she opened her eyes wide. “Now, I fuck you.”

  Her soft mews were hypnotic, pulling me further into my own personal darkness. As I eased her legs around my chest, hovering over her body, she arched her back, staring at me defiantly. She was a force of her own, strong-willed and opinionated. She would be a joy to break, delicious to train.

  I rubbed one hand along her legs before wrapping my fingers around my cock, sliding the tip up and down the length of her pussy. A deep shudder rolled through me as another flash of lightning seemed to give her a moment of terror. I would do anything in my life to protect her and the only way to do so was taking her away from her life.

  As I slipped my cockhead past her swollen folds, a series of goosebumps popped up along the majority of her body. Every part of her trembled, her lower lip quivering as she continued to stare at me, searching for answers that might never be determined. Our connection was sent from the very gods above. While I wasn’t a spiritual man, the answer was the only one possible.

  This was certainly no creation of mankind.

  I slowly lowered my head as I pushed another inch inside, enjoying her extreme wetness and explosive heat as her muscles clenched around the invasion. Every part of my body was on fire, white-hot and scorching. When I thrust the entire length inside, I threw my head back, my body shaking violently.

  Unable to resist, she disobeyed my command, pressing her palms against my chest, her fingers digging into my skin. The look in her eyes was entirely different, her irises surrounded by an intense glow. Our coupling had been more life-altering than I’d realized, a fact she was unaware of.

  “Such a naughty little girl.” My laugh was dark, riddled with filthy promises.

  “Yes, I am.”

  As we moved together as one, she kept her hands in the same position, kneading my muscles until the electric current soared. I could no longer think clearly as I pounded into her, my actions becoming more brutal with every passing second. Every sound erupting from my throat was guttural, husky as my tiger reacted to the intensity of our passion.

  She wrapped her feet together, her mouth pursing as my hard thrusts pushed her up and down on the bed, the force thrashing the headboard against the wall. There was something sinful about the sound, a telling of how ferocious I wanted to be.

  I could tell she was close to coming, her body tensing. As I thrust hard and fast, she rolled her hands to my neck, pulling my head closer. “Yes. Yes…”

  “Are you ready to come for me?” I growled before pressing my lips against hers, sliding across to her cheek. “Are you ready to come on my cock?”

  “Yes. God, yes!”

  Her pussy muscles clenched then released several times, her body convulsing as before.

  “Then come!”

  She jerked up, clinging to me as her body responded instantly, the climax roaring through her. I continued to thrust in savage actions, pinning her to the bed as I captured her mouth. She moaned into the kiss as the single orgasm morphed into a second, heat exploding from her body.

  I darted my tongue inside, swishing it back and forth across hers, unable to get enough of her sweet taste. When I broke the kiss, nipping her bottom lip, her whimpers became strangled. Without hesitation, I rolled her over, forcing her to straddle my hips.

  “Oh, oh…” A smile crossed her face as she planted her hands on either side of me, tossing her long hair over my face and shoulders, wiggling back and forth.

  I cupped her breasts, squeezing both as I studied her facial features, her expression playful as well as desperately hungry.

  “Ride me, little pet.”

  She stared down at me as she swiveled her hips, bucking up and down. The feel of her slickness as she drove against me was exquisite. As I pinched her nipples between my thumbs and forefingers, her moans became even more strangled, the husky sound floating into the air around us.

  Her actions became more savage as pain washed through her, creating a vibrant aura around us. I was no longer shocked at the level of electricity coursing through every vein and cell. I was so damn alive, my entire body vibrating from the sensations. Her nipples were elongated, the deep rose color creating a never-ending thirst.

  “Oh. Oh… Oh.” She tossed her head back and forth, pushing hard against my chest as she rocked up and down. The sly smile on her face matched the thoughts going through her mind. She wanted to take control.

  That wasn’t going to happen.

  Not now.

  Not ever.

  I rose to a sitting position, wrapping my hand around her lovely neck, my thumb pressing against her throat. There were no words necessary as I pushed the boundaries, squeezing until her mouth formed a perfect ‘O.’ “You have no idea what you do to me, Nicolina.” Even saying her name was exciting, my cock throbbing as it remained buried deep inside of her.

  Her chest rose and fell, her hand shifting to cover mine, adding another layer of pressure. “You really can read my mind.”

  “Of course, my sweet, because of our connection.”

  A laugh bubbled to the surface, her eyes darting away. “I’ve seen you for portions of my life in my dreams. A beautiful tiger. A glorious location.” When her eyes clouded over, I was able to gather fleeting images of those rolling through her mind. “But now, I see something else.”

  Fires.

  Blood.

  Carnage.

  It would seem her gifts had been altered by our connection, a possible foretelling of the future. Time was running out.

  But my brutal longing continued, turbulent and dark, my needs requiring fulfillment.

  Soon I would finish the mating process.

  Soon she’d be introduced as my queen.
