CASSIE

A gentle breeze blew over my skin, but it had nothing to do with the shiver that ran through my body.

My skin was alive with anticipation, my breath shuddered as it exited my lungs, and fear mingled with desire as Von inched closer to me. His breath teased me relentlessly as his rough hands coasted over my bare arms. He stared at me with a kind of reverence I didn’t think him capable of. I struggled to put into words the way his eyes sucked the air right out of me. They were dominating, but an invitation to search further into. I wanted to more than I could put into words. And I think he knew that, and I wasn’t sure what he would do with that information. I wanted so badly to find out.

He leaned forward and my breath caught in my lungs as he finally rewarded my eagerness with his knowing tongue. A moan of pleasure slipped past my lips but was quickly drowned by his own lips crashing into me. As he pulled back and ran his tongue along my neck, my head fell back and stared up at the moon as it shone down on us. It was no longer a full moon, but my body felt electrified and full of vigor.

Von’s hands held me in place, his large arms keeping me from touching him further, so he could have full control of my lips. As he inched forward to my face, I swear I was going to melt right then and there at the sight of him. He used his lips, his tongue and even his teeth to send me to the edge, only to slow down and let me coast back down to Earth. It was all I could to keep from falling backwards as pleasure zinged through my body from the way his lips moved.

Damn, he’s so good. So, so good, I thought.

As Von teased and pleased me, I struggled with the desire that he had ignited within me. I had clearly lost my mind even as I had struggled to resist whatever had caused me to be so drawn to him. There I was, hating the fact that I had had to come back to Konowa, yet loving the fact that I was making out with a werewolf in the parking lot for all to see. If there had been anyone to see, that is.

We were alone and lost in our passion as Von teased my neck with his tongue, sending further shivers down my spine. Suddenly, I didn’t care if he took me right then and there and forgot about me afterwards, like he had surely forgotten about every other woman he had been with. All I wanted was to sigh with his name on my lips. The consequences would surely be worth it.

As I approached the edge of my sanity yet again, Von slowed until he stopped. He looked at me and caused my already erratically beating heart to skip a few more beats. His face glistened and his eyes were glossy and terrifying with their wildness.

There was no denying that he was a predator, and that I was his prey. But I didn’t give a damn. I didn’t want him to stop. I wanted everything he could give me. And I wanted it now.

I ran my fingers through his thick hair, enjoying the feel of it as it coasted over my skin. He growled deep within his throat and I tightened my grasp before I brought his face forward and kissed him.

“More,” I gasped. “I want more.”

Von didn’t hesitate to give me what I asked. He kissed me like a man who had been starved for weeks, months, years. My head fell back again, and I didn’t bother to quiet the sighs that escaped me. I gave in with reckless abandon to the ecstasy that Von’s lips gave me.

VON

What is happening to me?

The more I kissed Cassie’s delectable lips, the more I wanted. I wanted more, but I couldn’t stop savoring every taste of her mouth and the way her skin shivered beneath my touch.

I couldn’t get enough of her.

Her fingers tightened in my hair as she said my name over and over again, clearly lost in her pleasure. I was in tune with her body in ways that I never thought possible. It was like she had cast a spell over me, but I knew it wasn’t that simple.

Every quiver that came from her body and every quake I felt drove me even wilder. My wolf was howling as I feasted on her, delirious with desire.

Cassie cried out in ecstasy, and I wondered if I was going to fall off a cliff. I could hardly breathe, and I thought I would lose myself in her completely until I was unable to come back.

My desire for her was so powerful that I was worried I would go too far. I could no longer blame the full moon for losing control, but that didn’t mean that I wouldn’t cross the point of no return. The more pleasure she took from me, the closer I got to giving into the feral wolf that resided inside of every one of my kind.

As Cassie’s hips bucked me, I pulled her closer towards me. She tightened her grasp on my hair and I relished the way that she clawed at me. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. She was losing control just like I was.

I used my teeth to nibble her lips and was rewarded with yet another shiver running through her body. She pressed herself against my mouth and I lapped at her saliva even as it wet my face. Hearing her sighs of pleasure, I focused on her heartbeat and her ragged breathing, which began to build in intensity.

She loves it, I thought.

I could feel it, hear it, sense it. Cassie was moments away from coming undone. For a brief second, I wished that I could disassociate from myself. I wanted to take a step back and watch it unfold. As she writhed against me, I wanted to be able to watch myself pleasuring her and giving her the kind of ecstasy that I doubt any human had ever been able to give her.

I wanted to see the look on her face and in those mesmerizing eyes when she fell over the edge and gave me everything…

CASSIE

Von’s head was in my hands. I gripped it so tight that my fingers hurt.

And yet I knew, even in my delirium, that I was no match for him. He was far stronger than I could ever be. Von was dangerous, untamable, and I loved it. I was playing with fire and I couldn’t get enough. I ground lips against his mouth and swayed slightly, building a rhythm that seemed to echo the savagery that had come over both of us.

My body tightened like a coil as pleasure began to build deep in my core. My breaths became more labored, more ragged as Von’s tongue lashed at me. Suddenly, I forgot how to breathe and gave into the feeling of my body combusting. It felt like a million suns had ignited within me as I let go of all inhibitions and gave myself to him.

Von’s hands tightened on my waist. Wave after wave of pleasure washed over me as my mind lost connection with my body. Throughout it all, Von never let me go. He controlled me even as I lost control of myself.

It felt like an eternity passed before the delicious convulsions finally began to subside. I blinked slowly and realized that Von was standing in front of me, his eyes hidden in the passing shadows of the night.

His breathing was uneven and heavy as he stared at me, his jaw clenched. With one hand, he wiped his mouth, and I trembled when I saw him rub his fingers together. I wanted more of him. I craved all of him.

Reaching for him, I wanted more. I needed more. The thought of trying to tame that wild beast of a man was too much to ignore. But he pulled my hands away and stepped back.

Confused and still gasping for breath, all I could do was stare as he lifted me off his bike and set me down on the ground. My mouth fell open as I watched in shock and disbelief as Von straddled his bike kickstarted the engine.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

He turned to face me, and I could finally see his eyes. They looked like two burning orbs and I felt like a moth drawn to the twin flames. He didn’t say a word as he peeled away, forcing me to step back. I watched him ride off and felt my ecstasy give way to anger and confusion.

What the hell?
