asshole.
Raegan blinked angrily at him, and for her tears he could
kill himself. Zeth grunted and looked away again, but he didn’t have time to
drown in a vat of self-loathing. Not now. Now he was losing himself to a series
of guttural grunts and purrs as he found a steady rhythm. With every other gasp
of air, he rumbled a combination of dirty compliments, mostly centering on how
hot she was or how good she felt.
He couldn’t bring himself to look at her again.
“Raegan—”
“ Gmphh! ”
His balls tightened, sweet ecstasy lacing his veins as his
body built toward a familiar precipe. He couldn’t stop if he wanted to, and she
wouldn’t let him. Every time she tried to shove him away, her grip on him
tightened and her mouth sucked him in deeper. She could do nothing, and neither
could he. Absolutely nothing. Zeth’s cock thrust steadily between her puckered
lips, the sharp jerks of his hips becoming more pronounced as he tensed.
Pull out, pull out, pull out, you asshole.
“Oh fuck . Raegan!” His canines exploded into his
mouth. Damn, he’d never lost control of his wolf. Not since that night when
he’d damned himself in her eyes.
Shit. I’m screwed.
Then he trembled and roared and came, his fingers tightening
in her hair, the head of his cock stabbing the back of her throat as his spendings
spilled into her. Raegan choked but guzzled him down all the same.
The second he gathered hold of his bearings, he tugged her
to her feet before his body could decide it wanted more of her mouth.
Great. Now I get a choice.
“Raegan…”
His mouth found her throat, peppering her skin with kisses.
That wasn’t the decision he would have made, but it was better than before. At
least this felt somewhat comforting.
“Don’t. Say. A. Word,” she growled.
Zeth fought a wince and lost. “Not a word.”
His compliance only seemed to harden her fury, which he
could only attribute to some female twist on what others called plain ole
logic. There was no winning with her.
“I mean it,” Raegan continued, her voice shaky. “I get word
that you’ve told anyone about this, I will kill you, Zeth.”
“Don’t worry,” he snapped. “After that performance? You
didn’t give me anything to brag about.”
As expected, the second the words rode off his lips, he
wanted to snatch them back. She’d baited him and he knew it, yet he couldn’t
help himself. Never in his life had Zeth been one to roll over and take a
verbal undressing. Even if he knew she didn’t mean it—hell, it didn’t take an
expert in human behavior to determine she was running now on self-preservation
and whatever dignity she could scrape together. There was no mystery, no
unanswered questions, and despite his resolve to provide the face she could
attach to her grievances, to be the asshole she needed him to be, a part of him
sensed they were barreling toward something larger than themselves.
Facing truths Zeth had been quite content to ignore until
now.
Instinct versus knowledge. The part of him that wasn’t an
animal waged war on the part that was.
To her credit, though, Raegan masked how deeply the words
cut. If he hadn’t known her as well as he did, he might think she was
unaffected.
“I’m going to have to swim in mouthwash to get that taste
out of my mouth,” she grumbled.
“No real men for Raegan, is that it?”
“Oh. A real man. Is that what you are?”
“You tell me. You’re the one that couldn’t handle the—”
Raegan growled. Or rather tried. His wandering fingers,
without waiting approval or permission, dove between her legs again and slid
easily into her dripping pussy. He fought and pulled, ordered his hand away,
but no good came of it. Apparently, the game wasn’t over.
Still, Raegan fought. “Don’t… Ohhh… Don’t even.”
“Can’t help it if your past bedmates didn’t educate you properly.”
“I hate you.”
Zeth shrugged, then wrangled a kiss from her lips. “Believe
me,” he replied,
