Chapter 9 Dorian #2
“No, no, no,” she mumbled. “Not again.”
Sitting back and trying to get my thoughts in line, I reached out to her. “What’s wrong?”
“You didn’t feel that?” Taking another step away, she clearly wasn’t going to grab my hand.
“I felt that amazing kiss, yes.”
“No,” she shook her head and wrapped her arms across her stomach.
I couldn’t stop staring at the way her legs looked even longer underneath the simple tank top she wore.
It just barely covered her hips, and I knew that if she turned around, I would see her toned ass cheeks peeking out from underneath the hem.
My cock grew even harder, and I winced at the way my zipper pressed against it.
“This is what happened before,” she continued.
“What do you mean?”
“I…,” she looked at me and started chewing. “I was…you know,” she waved her hands between us. “And then…he died. But before he died, I felt like I’d collected all his, I don’t know, energy. Does that make sense?”
I stood and walked over to her, placing my hands gently on her shoulders. That one touch sent shivers through me and my wolf wanted me to push for more contact. “You can’t hurt me,” I said. “Besides, this is what I wanted to test.”
“I don’t understand,” she whispered, looking up at me with tears in those beautiful green eyes.
Bending forward, I pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Stop thinking and kiss me.”
“I can’t.”
“You won’t hurt me. I promise.”
She closed her eyes, and I kissed her again.
Slowly at first, letting her know that I felt my energy flow into her and that it was okay.
And the moment I accepted those consequences, something else entirely different happened.
As our tongues danced around, tasting each other and enjoying the warmth, I suddenly began to feel alive in every sense of the word.
My wolf hummed beneath the surface, liking this new energy.
The human part of me nearly exploded with desire as every single sense went into overdrive.
Somehow, Katarina was giving me a strength I had never felt before.
I slowly pulled away from her kiss and smiled down at her surprised look. “See, Kitty Cat. You aren’t going to hurt me. I was right.”
“Right?”
I nodded and tucked her hair behind her ears as I smiled. “Your touch gives me strength. It makes me feel…invincible.”
“But before…I was sucking the energy out of you and—"
This time, when I pushed my lips against hers to prove I was right, she immediately melted into my arms. Like the lights had been switched on for a person who lived in the dark for decades, Katarina was hungry for the touch of another.
And I certainly wasn’t going to disappoint.
Sliding my arms down her waist and underneath her hips, I lifted her off the ground while I devoured her mouth.
When her legs wrapped tightly around me, I moaned against her touch and relished in the feel of my wolf magic dancing across my skin.
Taking a few steps backward, I sat on the edge of the bed, positioning Katarina on my lap.
Her fingers kneaded through my hair, and when I dropped my kisses to her neck, she lifted her face toward the ceiling and sighed.
“This feels so amazing,” she whispered into the air. I shifted my hips, letting my hardness settle directly between her lips. “Oh!”
Taking advantage of the moment, Katarina rubbed her sex back and forth over my jeans, holding my mouth against her neck so I would keep kissing her there.
I slowly slid the straps of her camisole over her shoulders, running my lips across her skin as she ground against me.
When my lips brushed against her nipple, she sucked in a breath and moaned.
“Dorian…I can’t…this feels so good.”
I knew the moment she came by the way her thighs squeezed mine and how hard her nipples got.
She tensed and held my head between her breasts.
As she whimpered in relief from her orgasm, I slowly pushed her back to her feet.
She looked at me with disappointment, and I could barely stand seeing her perfectly flushed face and innocent smile.
“What’s wrong?”
I stood, pulling her against me. “Nothing, Kitty Cat. Nothing at all.”
“But why are we stopping?”
I laughed and hugged her tight. Then, sliding my hand down her thigh, I let my fingers dive under her panties and into her folds. They were wet and warm and the animal in me surged to the surface. Why was I stopping this?
Katarina melted into my arms again as my fingers grazed her swollen bud.
But I only left them there for a moment, knowing it wouldn’t take much to completely break my resolve.
As I pulled my fingers away and brought them to my lips, I watched her reaction when I sucked her wetness from them.
She tasted like honey and the forest and all the things that my wolf and I loved.
She tasted like home.
Her lips parted while she watched and the blush in her cheeks crawled back. I smiled down at her. “We have to stop because I have to do some work today. But this was just a taste of what is to come, Kitty Cat.”
“Do you really feel okay?”
“I feel great.” When her brows pinched together, I added, “Really. I’m not going to drop dead.”
She wrapped her arms around my back and buried her head in my chest. “I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m so happy I didn’t kill you.
” As my body shook with laughter, she nestled in closer.
“Seriously, Dorian. If this didn’t hurt you, then maybe we can…
” Her words trailed off and my erection came blaring back knowing exactly where her thoughts were headed.
“Oh, don’t you worry. There will be much more experimenting to be done soon.” I kissed the top of her head and pulled her arms away. It took all my strength to untangle us, and I instantly felt empty the moment I stepped away. “I’ll see you tonight, Kitty Cat.”
She hung her head and bit her bottom lip. “Okay. Tonight.”
Somehow, I managed to walk away from her without giving in to my wolf and my desire to fully claim her all for myself. I would claim her, and it would probably happen very soon.
But for now, I would have to settle for the taste of her in my mouth and the promise that I would find out what the coven knew about Katarina’s past because Roman was right…she very well might be a Trojan horse sent to cause chaos.
Or sent to destroy us.
