Her breathing roughened as sensation sizzled across her nerve endings. His hands moved, his fingers flipping apart the buttons that held her blouse together.
"Do you know what mating heat does?" he growled.
She shook her head. Merinus had evidently neglected to give her a lot of information.
"The pleasure is unlike anything you could imagine," he whispered at her ear as he parted her blouse, his fingers moving to the clasp of her bra between her br**sts.
The pleasure was unlike anything she could have imagined. Rachel lowered her head, watched as his large hands cupped her br**sts, caressed them, his fingers stroking across her ni**les.
Biting her lip, she fought to hold back the whimpers of pleasure that fell from her lips, and failed.
This was incredible. It was unlike any pleasure she had known in her life.
"All it takes is a kiss," he whispered. "Or a lick. I could taste the sweet heat of your pu**y, push my tongue inside the tight little muscles there, and you'd go crazy for the pleasure, Rachel. You'd beg, but you wouldn't have to beg. I'd give it to you. All night, all day. Over and over again while your body begs for more, demands more."
His hands slid from her br**sts, down. He flicked open the button to her pants, slid the zipper down and pushed his hand inside the silk panties beneath.
"Is this mating heat?" she gasped.
She could feel her juices spilling over his fingers, the swollen folds of her sex parting beneath his fingers. The sensations were exquisite, heated, rife with such longing that she wanted to beg for possession.
"Not yet." He breathed out, his chest laboring at her back as they both fought for air. "Not for you."
But it was killing him. She felt it now. The tension in his body, the primal rasp of his voice. This wasn't the cool, logical, in-control Jonas that she knew.
His breathing was heavy at her ear, a groan tearing from his chest as his fingers met the swollen bud of her clit. A groan that mingled with her whimper of need.
"Then something's wrong." Her hand moved to her thighs, pressing against his as the need for a firmer touch surged through her body. "Jonas, this is killing me."
Then what was it doing to him?
According to Ely, it was thousand times worse for him.
He growled behind her. A sound so reminiscent of the animal he shared his genetics with that she shivered.
"Tell me . . ." She had to swallow tightly to continue as his fingers eased through the lush collection of heat between the folds of her sex. "Tell me, Jonas, what this does to you."
His head buried against her neck as his large body seemed to shudder behind her.
"Heaven and hell," he groaned. "I want to go to my knees and beg, Rachel. I would beg for just a taste if I knew you wouldn't hate me once you realized you were tied to me forever. And from all we know, mating is a long, long time."
The Leo was more than a century in age.
Her lips parted, her eyes closing as she tried to force herself to move away from him.
His fingers moved again. They curled, two pressed together, and a heartbeat later they were thrusting inside the tight, clenched depths of her vagina.
She went to her toes. The pleasure was so extreme, so intense, a cry tore from her lips.
He didn't stop. His fingers moved fast, hard, thrusting inside her, f**king into her with smooth, sure strokes and throwing her over the edge of completion.
Rachel clamped her thighs on his hand, her entire body tightening as ecstasy raced through her body over and over again. She didn't want it to stop. She wanted to feel this forever. She wanted to lock the sensations inside her and never let them go.
"I love feeling you come for me." His voice was barely recognizable now. "The way your pu**y clenches on my fingers, sucks at them. I would die to feel it around my dick, sucking me in, pulling my release from me."
His fingers were still buried inside her, locking her into the pleasure swirling through her as it slowly, so very slowly and yet too quickly, began to ease inside her.
"I have to get away from you." He kissed her shoulder gently. "If I don't, Rachel, one day, my control will snap. The animal that wants nothing more than the promise of what it knows belongs to it will accept nothing less. I'm not just a man, baby. I'm a Breed. Animal and man, and the animal isn't nearly as patient as the man wishes he were."
