CHAPTER ELEVEN
Tia looked up into Caine’s eyes and saw a fierce, golden light enter his eyes. She knew that she was staring at his wolf, and she swallowed nervously.
She had dated a few shifters before, but she had never glimpsed their beasts, not even when they had sex. The sex was good, but it wasn’t intense or mind-blowing.
But she sensed that sex with Caine wouldn’t be like anything she had experienced before. She could see his wolf rising within him, pulsating just under his skin with hunger and want.
His wolf wanted her. But—from what she’d heard from Kerry and from experience, wolf shifters didn’t let their wolves out during casual sex. Wolf shifters could have sex with other females, but their wolves wouldn’t be engaged. Their wolves receded and lay dormant during the encounter, refusing to take an interest in a female who wasn’t their fated mate. The wolf would only rise when it sensed its mate.
No, no. This was just casual sex, not mating sex.
She had met a handsome gentleman at the bar, and they were two consenting adults who knew that they wanted. One night of decadent pleasure. Nothing more.
So why was her heart pounding so hard and her body aching so maddeningly for this man? She’d always gone after what she wanted, but she had never wanted anyone like this before.
She wanted Caine, and she wanted everything he could give her. Could she walk away from his bed with her mind and heart intact?
Tia gritted her teeth and stared into Caine’s glowing eyes. What the hell was she doing, overthinking a simple, casual affair? Geez, this wasn’t even an affair. This was just sex. She would probably never see the guy again.
She wasn’t a sappy, cheesy, sentimental fool.
She could separate sex from love. Caine never promised her anything. They were just going to have sex, incredible, toe-curling, mind-blowing sex. There were no feelings involved. Caine never asked for more, and she shouldn’t expect more.
She knew what she was doing. There should be no feelings involved. None that involved the heart.
But her body was feeling everything. Her body had come alive under Caine’s skillful mouth and hands. It was like he owned her body and knew exactly how she would respond to his touch and kisses.
She wanted him inside her, and feel his huge, hard cock pushing into her, stretching her and filling her.
Tia raised her hips to him, and Caine released a low, dangerous growl. She saw the tips of his canines and claws and she knew that both the man and the wolf were staring down at her naked body. Caine’s broad, ripped body was beaded with sweat, and his muscles were bulging and throbbing as he fought to restrain his beast.
Tia didn’t want him to hold back. She didn’t want him to restrain himself. She wanted to see him lose control and lose his mind for her.
“Caine,” she said hoarsely.
The sound of his name on her lips undid him. With a feral snarl, he grabbed her and plunged deep into her.
Tia gasped as his cock slammed into her pussy. He was so big, and she squeezed her eyes shut as both pain and pleasure exploded from her core. Her entire body trembled as Caine gathered her in his arms and held her tight.
He kissed her tenderly, kissing her eyelids and cheeks before taking her mouth. Tia moaned softly against his lips as the brief pain subsided and her walls stretched and rippled to accommodate Caine’s formidable girth and length.
It felt so good, so incredibly amazing.
Tia clung to Caine’s powerful shoulders and subtly rocked her hips. Caine made a strangled sound and growled her name. When he began to move, Tia let out a small cry of pleasure.
Caine slid in and out of her body, pulling all the way out before pushing his cock deep into her pussy again. Tia could feel herself getting wetter as her body cried out for more. She wanted him to take her harder, deeper, faster. She wanted to fly over the edge and take him with her. She wanted to see a confident, powerful man like Caine shatter and shudder in ecstasy in her arms.
Tia tried to flip Caine onto his back but he growled and gripped her wrists hard. Pinning her hands to the sides of her head, he stared deep into her eyes as he surged into her.
Her body quivered and undulated beneath his as he thrust into her. He stared at her with raw lust and possessiveness as he drove himself into her again and again.
Tia began to pant as her body coiled tighter and tighter with each forceful thrust. Instinctively, Tia turned her head and bared her neck to Caine. She had looked into the eyes of his wolf, and she wanted him to bite her, sink his teeth into her neck and mark her.
She had never, ever wanted to be marked by any of her lovers before.
Why was she doing this now?
It was just an instinctive action. Her body seemed to want to belong to Caine.
Was it her body or her heart?
Tia pushed the confusing, jumbled thoughts out of her head and just surrendered to the incredible sensation of Caine fucking her. He was fucking her right out of her mind and her senses. She just knew that she would never feel the same again after tonight, but she didn’t care. She was too crazed with desire and lust to care.
She wanted to shatter beneath him. Give him her pleasure, her body…
She didn’t know what to do with her traitorous, treacherous heart. Why was her heart hoping for more than one night with Caine? What could come of this?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Tia threw back her head and screamed as she climaxed. She let herself drown in that fiery, churning pleasure, and she heard a tiny sob erupt from her.
Her pussy squeezed tightly around Caine’s huge, throbbing cock as he took his release. He drew a long, ragged breath and very slowly withdrew from her body.
Tia swallowed hard, trying her best to tamp down that strange, inexplicable feeling of emptiness and disappointment as their bodies separated.
He was done.
They were done.
Caine draped his arms around her and murmured her name as he closed his eyes. Quietly, Tia pressed her hand against his heart and stared at his handsome face as he slept. She wanted to remember this night. Remember this beautiful stranger who had given her the best sex of her life.
Once she was sure that Caine was fast asleep, Tia slipped out of bed and got dressed.
It was time to leave.
