Mine, her bear growled.
“Eddie…please…”
Those two words unraveled everything insideEddie. She brushed her thumb along the corner of Liana’s mouth. “Tell me to stop.”
“Why would I do that?”
Eddie leaned closer so their lips were a hair’s breadth away from each other. For a suspended heartbeat, neither of them moved.
Then Eddie closed the gap and kissed her.
It was supposed to be gentle. Liana had just been through another traumatizing event. She should go slow.
The kiss was everything but soft and gentle.
Fire surged through Eddie’s veins as their mouth’s met. Heat, relief, and need all crashed together like two storms colliding. Liana’s fingers gripped Eddie’s shirt, drawing her closer. The blanket slipped loose around her shoulders. Eddie’s arm instinctually draped around Liana’s waist and dragged her on top of her. Liana straddled Eddie and wrapped her arms around her neck. The blanket completely fell away, leaving Liana naked in Eddie’s arms.
Liana gasped into the kiss, and Eddie took advantage of it to deepen it without thinking. Her lips were hungry with the need to claim. The world outside vanished. A low rumble vibrated her chest as Liana reached down andgrabbed the edge of Eddie’s thick shirt. She pulled it over Eddie’s head and tossed it to the side.
They stared at each other, breathing hard while they took each other in. Liana’s pebbled dark nipples demanded Eddie’s attention. The woman was perfection sitting on her lap. Her body was made to be worshipped, and Eddie was going to take her time doing just that.
Chapter Six
Liana’s body no longer trembled due to the cold. The heat that consumed her couldn’t even be blamed on the fire.
It was Eddie.
The woman’s amber eyes, her plush lips, and her large hands roaming Liana’s body had her feeling as if she was going to combust at any moment. Eddie’s gaze was frozen on Liana’s breasts. Her breath snagged in her throat; the bear took her all in. She didn’t want to move as Eddie’s hand came up to palm her soft mound. A low, guttural groan rumbled from Eddie. The sound sent a wave of desire straight to Liana’s core.
Liana’s nipples hardened to the point theyached against her palm. Eddie’s hand shook when she caressed the beaded bud. Her gaze rose to meet Liana’s. Her eyes were filled with a wild hunger.
“Liana…” Eddie groaned. She leaned down and captured the bud with her mouth.
Liana gasped at the hot heat that surrounded her sensitive nipple. She arched into Eddie’s hold while she suckled upon Liana.
Another rumble came from Eddie. The sound did something to Liana. She loved hearing it and wanted to feel Eddie unleash her pent-up passion. Eddie’s other hand gripped Liana’s hip, hard. Liana didn’t mind the slight hint of pain. Eddie shifted them so Liana was now lying on her back on the rug. She positioned herself over Liana and gazed down at her.
Eddie’s intense stare had Liana’s heart racing. Her amber-eyed gaze traveled down the length of her as if she were trying to memorize all of her. Eddie’s head lowered slowly, and this time she captured the other nipple with her mouth. Liana moaned and pulled Eddie’s hair from her ponytail. She wanted to feel the thick strands. She entwined her fingers in her hair and held on while her mouth took possession of herbreast. Liana arched her back upward, unable to hold still.
Eddie released Liana’s nipple and blazed a trail of hot kisses along her belly. She moved farther down, her hands sliding along Liana’s body. The calluses on her hands sent a shiver through Liana.
“Eddie…” This time it was Liana who moaned Eddie’s name.
She widened her legs to open them. Eddie reached her center, paused, and glanced up at Liana. She should have felt open and exposed, maybe even vulnerable, but all Liana felt was alive.
Eddie’s amber gaze made her feel wanted…needed…sexy.
Eddie positioned herself between Liana’s legs. Her hands clamped down on Liana’s thighs and pushed them open wider. Eddie inhaled, and Liana practically unraveled. Was she breathing in her scent? She was a shifter, and they relied on scent for many things she’d learned over the years from her friendship with Terri.
Eddie’s eyes darkened to almost black. She inhaled, and that rumble sounded again. Liana’s body shook with anticipation of what was tocome. Eddie lowered her head and ran her wide tongue over Liana’s pussy in one long stroke.
Liana cried out, tightening the fingers in Eddie’s hair.
Eddie repeated the move, eliciting another cry of ecstasy. She continued and feasted upon Liana. Her tongue was everywhere. The grip on her thighs tightened to an almost unbearable hold, but Liana ignored it. She was too lost in the feel of Eddie latching on to her clit.
The woman needed no encouragement or coaxing or direction. She knew exactly what she was doing. Her tongue pushed at Liana’s entrance before sliding through her slick folds. She returned to sucking on Liana’s swollen bud, and her cries filled the air.
Liana was not embarrassed by the sounds she was making. She had a beautiful lover focused on her and her pleasure. Why wouldn’t she reward her that she was doing a damn good job?
