CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Travis
“Really?” she rasped, her warm breath fanning over my chest as she looked at me, eyes dark with intent.
Daphne’s mouth was soft against mine when she leaned down and kissed me. Finally. It had been sheer torture for my wolf and me as we waited for what felt like forever for her to make a move.
I’d been with human women before, but no one who knew my true nature. It was...liberating to be myself with her.
I fisted a hand in her tangled hair, thrust my tongue past the seam of her lips, and ran the other hand over her hip and down her bare thigh. She made a soft, feminine sound that shot straight to my cock, making it even harder. Heaven’s Moon, the way she looked wearing my shirt should be illegal.
“Something tells me you need to be warmed up on the inside,” I told her.
“Really? How did you know?” She was kissing my neck now. I hissed in a breath as she sucked on my earlobe. Then she tried rather unsuccessfully to unfasten my jeans.
“Such an eager little thing.”
“Well, I’m very, very cold, and that was an excellent suggestion.”
She still hadn’t figured out the top button. Enough. My wolf and I were done being patient. She may have started this, but I could take it from here. She gave a little gasp as I suddenly rolled us over, swapping positions. Me on top, her beneath me.
I shucked off my jeans and retrieved a condom from my wallet before tossing it to the floor.
“Mmmm,” she said against my mouth. “I see you came prepared.”
“You never know when you’ll need to rescue a beautiful woman from imminent death and she’ll be so grateful that she wants to fuck your brains out.”
Daphne snorted with laughter until tears streamed from her eyes. “Oh my God, Travis, are you always this insufferable?”
“Normally, I’m much worse.”
I unbuttoned my shirt she wore and kissed my way down her exquisite body.
I gently grazed my teeth over one nipple before drawing it into my mouth, making it peak even further.
She arched her back and moaned. Heaven’s Moon, she had beautiful breasts, full and lush…
and I couldn’t wait to see them bouncing in my face as she rode me.
But that would have to wait, I told myself, as I slid lower.
Her fingers dug into my shoulders. “What are you doing?”
“What’s it look like I’m doing?” I growled, kissing her belly and pushing her thighs apart even further.
“I didn’t know wolves were into that sort of thing.”
I lifted my head and peered up at her. “Darlin’, I’m into everything. Why would you think I wouldn’t be?”
Worry lines creased her forehead. Something was wrong. I stopped what I was doing and drew myself up again. She’d mentioned the fact that I was a werewolf. Maybe she was having a change of heart. “Is this too much? Because I’ll stop in a heartbeat if it is.”
Her cheeks colored and it took a moment for her to reply.
“It’s not that. It’s just that...” Her voice trailed off, and she blinked a few times.
I wasn’t sure if she was collecting her thoughts or if she didn’t want to share them.
I kept quiet to give her room to think. “It’s just that Gavin—my ex-fiancé—wasn’t really into. ..it. Said it grossed him out.”
“It? You mean oral sex?” I kissed her forehead, her cheeks, her temples, trying to take away her shame. “That’s his fucking problem. Not yours.”
“Well, he was into it. But just the receiving end. It was me he wasn’t into like that.”
A white-hot rage rushed through me. If I ever met that selfish asshole, I’d throat-punch him then rip his head off. “How long were you together?”
“A few years,” she answered softly.
“And before him?”
“There were a few guys before him but I’d...” Her words trailed off and she wouldn’t meet my gaze.
“Never had an orgasm that way,” I finished for her.
She bit her lip and nodded, unleashing something deep inside me.
I twirled a finger around her nipple and nuzzled her neck. “Would you be game to try? Because I’d love nothing more than to pleasure you like that. But only if you want me to.”
Her eyes were bright as she searched my face. “Okay,” she said tentatively, as if she wanted to believe me but still wasn’t sure.
My inner wolf surged with pride that she trusted me like that.
I would need to be slow and gentle. Take my time with her. Show her with my actions that I was just as into it as she was. I didn’t know how much time I had with Daphne here on the island, but I intended to make the most of it.
In fact, I had an idea. “Are you warm enough now?” I asked.
She rubbed her foot against the back of my leg. It wasn’t cold anymore. “Yes, very. But that doesn’t mean I want you to stop trying to warm me up.”
I got out of bed and heard her sharp intake of breath. I glanced over to see her staring at my admittedly large erection jutting out in front of me, and my wolf preened.
“What are you doing?” she asked, nostrils slightly flared.
“You’ll see.” After stoking the fire again, I headed to the basin and removed the scratched mirror from the wall.
I carried it to the bed, propped it on a nearby chair and adjusted it.
Then I climbed back under the covers with her.
“I want you to watch what I’m doing to you.
And then I want you to tell me if you think I’m enjoying myself or not. ”
She quirked her lips. “Are you giving me homework? Oral sex homework?”
I shrugged. “You have a problem with that?”
“No, not at all.”
“Good. Because I would like to give you an A.”
“Don’t you mean an O?”
Such a little smartass. I growled at her and got started.
