Chapter 39 #2
“Take off your clothes,” he says in a commanding tone that makes me weak all over.
He takes a step back, and I slip off the desk, fixing my shirt. “There’s no time. The others are waiting.”
Thane slips his finger beneath my waistband, yanking me closer to him. “One, that wasn’t a suggestion. And two, I’ll make sure you come before they even think to come looking for you.” I swallow hard as Thane stares at me with the heat of a thousand suns. “I’m not going to tell you again.”
His threatening tone sends carnal desire tumbling through me, and I quickly begin to undress while he watches me with crazed fixation. The moment I’m completely bare, Thane whirls me around, pressing his body against my back as he sweeps my hair to one side.
“Better make it fast,” I taunt, tilting my head to look back at him.
He grabs my face, brushing his lips against mine. “I’ll take as long I want, Grey.” His right hand caresses my hip before slipping between my thighs, drawing a gasp that he cuts off with a savage kiss. “Because when it comes to this,” he says, circling my clit with his finger. “You will submit.”
“Make me,” I dare, looking into his eyes with a challenge.
Thane’s fangs snap out, but since he’s not allowed to bite me, the threat falls flat, and I let the cocky smirk form on my lips, looking to get a rise out of the man who likes to think he’s the one in charge.
“Taunting a wolf? Bad idea.”
Before I can provoke him anymore, he forces his tongue between my lips, claiming my mouth with brutal power. I can almost taste his desperation as his tongue wraps around mine, taking full control.
While he devours my kiss like a famished beast, his fingers slip inside of me, filling me up with his dominating touch.
Thane’s hand that had been clutching my face, drifts down to my aching breast, squeezing it with punishing vigor, and I reach up, cupping my other breast to match his delicious pain as I bite down on his lower lip.
He releases a warning growl, pressing his arousal against my back.
Everything he does is addicting. Every kiss. Every touch. Every moan makes me want more of him. In fact, it’s more than a want. It’s a need.
Thane grabs a hold of my free hand, guiding it back to where his swollen cock is bulging in his pants.
“I want you to feel how hard you make me,” he murmurs into my ear as I wrap my hand around him.
“Let me help with that.” I make a move to turn around and face him, but he grabs a hold of my waist, stopping me.
“No,” he says in his Alpha tone.
“Why don’t you want me to satisfy you?” I ask, doing my best to hide the fact that his refusal stings a little.
Thane nuzzles his face against mine, inhaling in a deep breath.
“You do satisfy me, Grey. Everything you do brings me pleasure.” He snatches my face again, tracing his thumb over my lips.
“Your defiant attitude. Your wicked tongue. Your sinful body. Your captivating scent. It all brings me pleasure.”
“But what about…” I reach for his length again, but he catches my wrist.
“I want that too, but I have a lot to make up for first.”
“You’re punishing yourself?” I ask, noticing the regret etched into his face.
“Trust me,” he hisses, plunging two fingers into me as my breath hitches in my throat. “Nothing about this is punishing me.”
He claims my lips once again, driving his fingers in and out of me with more urgency before dragging them up the center of me so slowly that it makes me ache. I release a pleading moan against his mouth, digging my fingernails into his thigh as the overwhelming need for release consumes me.
“Does that feel good?” he breathes against my lips.
I open my eyes, locking him in my gaze. “Yes, Alpha.”
I watch as his pupils dilate with wild satisfaction, and a smirk begins to pull at my lips, but before it has a chance to fully form, Thane starts rubbing my clit, drawing a gasp from me as my head falls back.
“Eyes on me,” Thane orders, tilting my face toward him while he continues to weaken me with each circle he traces.
His gaze holds me prisoner, caging me with uncontrollable hunger that only he can sate. Each second, I feel myself falling deeper into the arms of euphoria, but just as they’re about to claim me, Thane pulls his hand away, leaving me to burn with painful desperation.
“Told you taunting a wolf was a bad idea.” A wicked grin spreads across his face, but before I can move away from him, he returns his fingers to my aching pussy. “You come when I tell you to.”
“Yes, sir,” I agree, biting my lip to stop myself from whimpering.
Thane wraps his hand around my throat as our eyes remain locked on one another.
“Did you learn your lesson?” he asks, rubbing me to the edge of sweet bliss.
“Yes!” I cry out as the promise of release draws closer.
“Good. Now you can come,” he instructs, smothering my moan with his mouth as a burst of ecstasy explodes throughout me.
My body feels weightless in his arms as the orgasm ripples down my body, kissing each inch of me with the intensity of a lightning bolt.
Thane’s hold on me tightens while my legs quiver beneath me, giving way to the tidal wave of euphoria.
As I fight to catch my breath, he runs his eyes over every inch of my face, basking in his victory.
“You’re so fucking beautiful.” His words steal the last of my breath, and I stare back at him in disbelief.
“Why would you say that?” I ask, turning around to face him as my legs finally steady.
“Because it’s true.” He tucks my hair behind my ear, and I take a step back as he wanders his eyes down my body, licking his fingers clean of me.
“You can’t say things like that.”
“And why not?” he asks, closing in on me until my ass bumps against the desk.
“Because—”
“Because you’re trying to protect that little human heart of yours?” He traces an X over my chest, slowly dragging his index finger to my hardened nipple, making me ache for him all over again.
“Consider it one of my boundaries,” I tell him in a stern voice before swatting his hand away.
I step aside and grab my shirt, pulling it over my head while he leans against the desk, tracking my movements.
“Fine. I won’t tell you you’re beautiful,” he reluctantly agrees, carving a hand through his hair.
“Perfect!” I reach down to pick my underwear up off the floor, but Thane snatches them from me with a possessive growl.
“Mine,” he says, tucking them in his back pocket.
I don’t know whether to be appalled or amused, but as I take in the seriousness written across his face, a laugh spills from my lips.
“You really are an animal,” I tease, pulling my pants back on.
Thane darts over to me, blowing my hair back with his speed, and picks me up, setting me on his desk.
“You sure you don’t want to stay?” He buries his face into my hair and inhales, making his chest press against mine.
“Positive,” I purr into his ear, earning me a scowl when he pulls back, looking at me like I just slapped him across his perfectly carved face.
“Fine,” he huffs, as he helps me off the desk, making sure to grab two handfuls of my ass. “Go to Seattle and try to forget all about how I make your pussy throb every time I touch you.”
My jaw falls open, and I release a high-pitched yelp when Thane whirls me around and smacks my ass. He darts over and swings the study door open, motioning me out with a cocky grin.
If this is his new way of asserting dominance, I’ll gladly take it. Sure as hell beats the shock collar.
Sienna is already waiting for me in the car with a knowing smirk that makes my cheeks instantly heat.
“Tell me, did you get flashes of Kieran’s naked body when you were staring him down?” I fire off, before she has a chance to say anything.
Her smirk disappears as her mouth falls open, and I snort a laugh, watching her face turn beet red.
“Mio Dio! I did no such thing!”
“Sure you didn’t,” I tease with a wink.
She rolls her eyes, reaching for her seatbelt. “Tell me, Fallon, how did Alpha’s tongue taste going down your throat?”
I gape at her with a playful shove before we both start laughing uncontrollably. After spending most of my life as a loner, it’s nice to finally have a partner in crime.
Kole takes off in his SUV, and I follow behind down the long driveway, glancing back in the rearview mirror.
Somehow, a piece of me already longs to be back in the arms of the man I used to loathe with every fiber of my being.
I pull my eyes away as the tightness in my chest coils, reminding me just how dangerous this game is that the two of us can’t seem to resist playing.
Now, I’m even more convinced that this time apart isn’t only a good thing, but also necessary.
When it comes to my heart, that’s one thing Thane can never touch.
