“Tell me.”
Dark eyes stared into hers. “Right now I want to touch you.”
“Go ahead.”
He leaned in and brushed a kiss over her throat. Lauren turned her head and exposed it to his wandering mouth. His tongue traced a pattern, sharp teeth gently brushed too and she resisted the urge to reach up and grip his shoulders just to have something to cling to.
He lowered down her body slowly, teasing and awakening her desire with each caress of his hot mouth. She moaned when he sucked on one taut nipple and her restraint broke. Her hands lifted, opened on his chest and she stroked him.
A deep growl came from him, his hot, rigid c**k brushed her leg and she spread them wider apart. Wrath suddenly pulled away and their gazes met.
“I want you. I hurt for you.”
“Take me. I said I’m yours.”
One of his hands opened on her belly, slid downward and Lauren moaned when his thumb rubbed against her clit. His fingers tested to see how turned-on she was, found how sleek and wet he’d made her with his mouth, and just the sight of his body.
“You’re so ready for me.”
“Always.”
His eyes closed and his head hung a little. Lauren’s hands left his chest to cup his face. Wrath looked at her then, his gaze tortured with longing and something else…maybe fear. She hated to see it and lifted up until their mouths were mere inches apart.
“Kiss me, baby. It’s okay.”
An eyebrow arched and his lips curved upward just slightly. “Baby?”
“An endearment. I could call you sexy. You really are.”
“So are you.”
“Please kiss me?”
His focus fixed on her mouth. He paused and glanced back up. “I’ve never kissed someone before on their lips.”
She tried to hide her shock. “Never?”
His gaze slid away as he avoided hers. “My experience is limited to breeding experiments. Mercile enjoyed testing pain drugs on me more. The few females who were brought to me didn’t want that kind of intimate personal contact since they didn’t know me.”
“Look at me, Wrath.”
He did and she identified his pain for sure then. “I’ll kiss you. Everyone has a first time. I’m honored that I’ll be yours.” And I wish I were your last. The idea of him touching someone else, being with them, made her chest hurt. “Just relax and put your mouth over mine. I’ll show you.”
Wrath wanted Lauren, wanted to experience everything she offered and so much more. Fear of losing control gripped him but he breathed through the worst of it. She was waiting for an answer.
He allowed all the feelings he experienced to surface and quickly determined that he’d do anything to avoid causing her any harm. It gave him confidence to face down his ultimate fear of having a flashback to his abuse strike at an intimate moment.
He was a strong male. He needed to have faith in his ability to control himself. He refused to allow the past to ruin his future. Lauren stood before him, willing, ready and eager to share sex with him. Nothing had ever tempted him more.
He took one deep breath and made a decision. I can do this. I’m stronger than my conditioning. Lauren isn’t someone I’d ever harm and that will keep me from losing control.
He leaned in closer, closed his eyes and Lauren fused her lips to his. Her tongue darted out, licked the seam of his mouth and entered to explore. He was hesitant at first but caught on quickly, devouring her with passion as they stroked each other.
His weight pinned her down as he stretched out over her. Lauren lowered her head back to the bed, released his face and wound her arms around his neck. She only paused for a second before wrapping her thighs around the backs of his legs. With his height, he’d have to move up for him to enter her since his c**k was below her pu**y. She arched her back to urge him on. Her br**sts pressed tightly against his chest and Wrath snarled.
Kissing her, the taste of her, drove him insane. He wanted more, needed it, and quickly knew he was about to lose control. The desire to take her nearly overrode everything else. Calm, he ordered his body. You can do this. Focus on her desire…her desire…
He knew they needed to slow things down. He was determined to be the male she deserved and that would be one who could take her with tenderness. It might kill him but he wanted her bad enough to face his own inner demons.
Wrath broke the kiss, breathing hard, and their gazes held. Desire made his eyes appear almost black as he stared at her. Lauren gazed back and ached for him to continue kissing her. Her lips parted but he spoke first.
“I want you.”
“I want you too.”
He braced his arms on the bed and pushed his chest off hers, put space between their bodies, and Lauren refrained from protesting. She unlocked her calves from behind his thighs to free him. She didn’t want him to feel trapped by her in any way and prayed he wouldn’t call their lovemaking to a halt.
“Will you roll over for me?”
Her mind worked. “You want to take me from behind?”
“Yes.” His voice deepened.
She nodded. “I like doggy style.”
He suddenly laughed.
Her face burned, realizing he might take that wrong considering he was New Species and had mentioned he was canine. “I mean—”
“It’s fine. I knew you meant the position. It is my favorite.” He chuckled again. “I wonder why.”
Lauren laughed and rolled over, breaking eye contact with him. Wrath rose to his knees, his hands gripped her h*ps and he pulled her up to her knees.
