CHAPTER FIVE
T he sway of her hips was rhythmic, and from the way Ezra’s eyes lit, he appreciated the view.
His growl traveled the distance between them, the slow rumble making her stomach clench.
Lucky licked her lips, thinking back on her words to her cousin.
Yes, she planned to be reckless, but damn if she could find any regret for what she was about to do.
His confident steps brought them within a hair’s breadth of each other, his hand going around the back of her neck in a tight, possessive grip.
Her pulse skittered and anticipation had her squeezing her thighs together. Would he kiss her? Her lids fluttered closed in anticipation, but before their lips could connect, a female voice cut through their moment.
“Kaine, there you are,” the woman purred.
It was Lucky’s panther that growled this time.
The animal didn’t like the interruption.
Ezra chuckled, rubbing their cheeks together to calm her cat.
She breathed in his scent, a yearning rising within her.
He stepped back but his eyes never left hers, his hand moving to rest on the small of Lucky’s back.
“Collette,” he greeted the woman.
“I saw your bids. Thank you for being so generous. Mother will be excited.” Collette came up to them, her perfume leading the way.
Ezra smiled and winked at Lucky since she was the reason for his generous bids. “Of course. Anything for the children.”
Lucky chuckled softly. Collette turned to her but didn’t speak. Instead, her eyes quickly raked Lucky’s form, dismissing her before directing a wide smile to Ezra.
“Well, you’ve won. Would you like me to bring them by your home when the items are ready?”
Lucky tensed, but Ezra’s thumb traced small circles on her back. “That won’t be necessary.”
Collette’s smile dimmed slightly. “I’ve volunteered to help First Lady at the Autumn regatta. Were you planning to attend?”
It was clear the woman was purposefully leaving her out of the conversation. Instead of getting mad about it, she got petty. Lucky dragged a finger down Ezra’s chest, stepping into his space.
“Let me not take up more of your time, Ezra. Thank you for this evening.” Raising onto her toes, she kissed him softly on the corner of his mouth.
She’d purposely used the name he claimed only few had the privilege of calling him. Cutting her eyes at Collette, Lucky sauntered off, counting in her head. Before she reached ten, Ezra was at her side. She waited until she reached the elevator to turn to him in mock surprise.
“I thought you had business with your friend,” she taunted softly.
“You’re my priority,” he assured her.
They slipped into the elevator car as it arrived.
Lucky turned, her eyes meeting Collette’s.
An understanding passed between the two women.
From the anger on Collette’s face, it was up, and that was fine.
Lucky didn’t usually fight behind dick, but for a male her panther was ready to claim, all rules went out the window.
Ezra’s bodyguard stepped in front of them, blocking their view of each other, and the door closed as Collette stormed off. Lucky shifted her attention to Ezra.
“Who is she to you?”
“No one,” was his firm answer.
Taking the answer at face value, Lucky put aside any thoughts of the other woman.
They were quiet as the elevator rose to her floor.
That’s not to say the tension lessened any as they stood next to each other.
The heat from their bodies mingled, the energy from their animals filling the small space between them.
Her heart rate elevated and her breathing with it.
The chemistry between them was something she’d never experienced.
It clouded her mind while crystallizing her panther’s intent with this male.
By the time they got off on her floor, her body was trembling in need.
She opened the door but before she went in, Ezra’s bodyguard entered.
Ezra waited until the guard nodded before escorting Lucky inside.
“He has to do that with every room you enter?”
He turned his attention to her and the feral look in his face made her knees weak.
He closed the distance between them and Lucky couldn’t hold his gaze.
Before she could even stop herself, her chin tilted, her neck exposed, and his growl of approval tightened her nipples, her stomach clenching in lust.
“Is this dress important to you?” he asked in a low, gruff voice.
“I’m partial to it,” she answered.
“Then it needs to come off. Now.”
Her heart raced, and while her animal was ready to submit, she tried to slow the train a little to catch her breath.
“You’re gonna be bossy, huh?”
“And demanding,” he told her, gripping her chin. “But that won’t stop me from treating you like the gift you are.”
That…
It tightened her throat, feelings she wasn’t quite ready for softening her. “You haven’t even kissed me yet, Ezra Kaine,” she whispered.
He chuckled. “Had I kissed you, we wouldn’t have made it up here,” he declared before lowering his head.
Their lips met and Lucky was taken under.
From the bottom of her feet to the top of her head, her nerves buzzed, alight every time his tongue swiped against hers.
She’d been kissed before, but Ezra was masterful, holding her chin in place as he ravished her mouth.
Desire had her panties damp, her inner walls already contracting.
His hand slid between her thighs. Not a tentative touch either, it was sure, possessive, its path unmistakable.
A moan left her throat as he slid his fingers past her thong, tracing outside of her sex.
They pushed past her folds, one slipping into her wet channel.
Lucky separated from their kiss, throwing her head back as he expertly handled her.
Ezra kissed across her neck before going up, tugging on her earlobe with his teeth.
“This the type of pussy they warn you about,” he murmured, driving his finger deeper while his thumb circled her clit. “She gripping, princess.”
There was nothing Lucky could do but hold onto his forearms as he played her body. Her legs weakened as he added a second finger, reaching that soft spongy spot that had her eyes crossing.
“Rah,” she hissed as her stomach clenched with her impending orgasm.
“Yes, baby?” He pressed harder on her clit.
Her breath froze in her lungs, her entire body stock-still as pleasure locked her muscles. She could only whimper as waves of euphoria melted her. Oh, fuck, she was in so much trouble.
Ezra pulled his fingers from her and sucked them into his mouth. His eyes closed, his face tightening before a rumble rattled the air.
“On the bed,” he ordered her.
Lucky wasn’t sure how she was going to accomplish that since her legs didn’t work.
With trembling hands, she slipped the sleeves of her dress down, stepping out of it as she backed up toward the bed.
She collapsed on the edge, slipping out of her heels as she watched him.
Her underwear went next. Ezra unbuttoned his shirt slowly, his gaze meeting hers and flashing with his animal.
Lucky licked her lips as he discarded the rest of his clothes, stalking closer to her on the bed.
Her legs parted on instinct, her hands reaching out for him.
Ezra pushed her back and hovered over her, his eyes raking her naked frame. “So fucking beautiful,” he murmured.
Lucky pulled him down on top of her, eager to feel his weight pressing her into the mattress. Her lids drifted closed at the helpless feeling of her laying trapped beneath him. It hit a kink that only few were privy to.
“Rah,” she breathed out.
Impatience had her hand reaching between them and gripping his dick.
A hungry moan escaped as she felt the size of him.
Writhing beneath him, Lucky guided him to where she was aching.
She would make time for other things later.
Right now, she needed him. Ezra chuckled, obliging her silent request, pushing forward until the head of his dick notched at the opening of her pussy.
Their synchronized moans filled the air as he slid inside.
Reaching down, he grabbed her hand, bringing it up to meet the other above her head, collaring her wrists together with one fist. His strokes were slow, deep, the kind that stirred her soul and had her already rearranging her mind to fit him into her life.
Her panther rose, her power linking with his, the animal already anxious to test Ezra.
His tiger answered and heat filled her body.
“My princess,” he whispered as he slow-stroked her.
Lucky arched and Ezra burrowed his head into her neck, nipping her skin, licking to soothe the small bites.
The closer to the surface his tiger rose, the rougher his tongue against her skin was.
It sent chills down her spine and her claws lengthened, her animal whining for her to leave marks all over his skin.
Succumbing to her cat, Lucky wiggled one hand free to rake her nails across his shoulders.
He hissed and drove deeper, harder, growling as she lifted her head, licking over the marks she’d made.
They weren’t ready to mate yet. She begged her panther to slow down, but the only compromise the animal would take was more marks on Ezra. He gripped her hip with his other hand, his claws digging into her skin as he fucked her.
“Hey, kitty cat.” His voice was low, cajoling as he talked directly to her animal. Lucky whined as he rocked slowly against her clit.
Her chest swelled, the cat bucking against her as a climax built low in her belly. “Rah,” she whimpered. “Don’t,” she begged.
If he kept at it, the panther would take matters into its own hands and bite this man.
He hummed, rolling his hips, his stroke hitting just deep enough to steal her breath. “She’s being stingy, not letting you have what you need.” He continued his conversation with her animal.
Her canines lengthened and the cat rumbled her chest with a growl. Lucky knew what her panther was begging for but she would not give in, no matter how good Ezra made her body feel.
He chuckled and sucked on her neck. “I’ll behave for now,” he told her, speeding his strokes.
She screamed his name as he leaned down and pulled her nipple into his mouth, biting down. The pain sent her careening into an orgasm and Ezra slowed his rhythm.
“That’s what I want right there,” he told her, releasing her wrist so he could grip her waist with both hands. He held her down and fucked her through one climax, her body building into another. “God damn, this pussy making promises to me, princess. You gon’ keep her promises?”
“Yes!” she screamed as another orgasm tightened her body. “Rah!”
“You scream my name so pretty, baby.”
“Your turn.” She undulated her hips and dug her claws into his shoulder, drawing blood.
Ezra’s eyes flashed blue, his animal responding to her violence. He smiled, his teeth growing as his chest rumbled. He sped his thrusts, cursing as Lucky squeezed down on him. She gripped his shoulders while her pussy did the same to his dick.
“Fuck!” he growled, lifting her hips to plunge deeper.
His strokes were erratic as his climax tightened his muscles. He growled into her ear, holding her tightly to him.
“No fucking way am I letting you go,” he murmured, his dick flexing as he released inside of her.
“You took such good care of my body,” she praised.
Ezra growled. “Shit, you’re going to be trouble.”
She pushed against his chest, using her thighs to turn them over. “But I’m gonna be so much fun.”
His eyes lit at her promise, his dick hardening inside of her. Lucky smiled and bit her lip. This night with Ezra Kaine would be reckless, yes, but damn if she wouldn’t enjoy every minute.
