CHAPTER TEN
Caine wrapped his arm possessively around Tia’s waist. He couldn’t wait to get her out of the bar and into his bed. He was almost out of his mind with hunger and desire. It was with sheer iron will that he managed to leash his raging beast and hold on to his sanity.
Swiftly, he led her out of the bar and took the elevator to his private suite.
He couldn’t wait to have her. He had never wanted a female so desperately, so fiercely before. His wolf was howling inside him, almost mad with lust.
As soon as they were inside the suite, Caine pressed Tia against the door and crushed his mouth over hers. There was nothing slow and tentative about the kiss. The kiss was hot, bruising and demanding. He wanted to mark her, take her, stake his claim on her.
Tia gasped when he pushed his tongue into her mouth and tasted her thoroughly. God, she was so damn addictive. He just couldn’t get enough of her. He needed to take more, and taste every inch of her beautiful body.
Unzipping her dress, he let it fall to the floor and scooped her up in his arms. Carrying her to the king-sized bed, he spread her out beneath him and unhooked her bra.
His mouth watered at the sight of her pert breasts. Her dusky nipples were hard and erect, begging to be suckled.
Caine grabbed her and sucked one pebbled nipple deep into his mouth. His tongue flicked the hard nub again and again, making Tia cry out in ecstasy.
He moved his mouth down her body, kissing down her navel to the inside of her trembling thigh. Taking Tia’s lacy undergarment between his teeth, he tore her panties off her body and was rewarded with the scent of her fierce arousal.
Caine spread her legs and pressed his mouth greedily to her glistening pussy. He laved his tongue down her soft, pink folds and groaned. Tia tasted so fucking delicious, so exquisite. He needed to taste more of her, take more of her sweet, sticky nectar.
Caine pushed his tongue into her slit and Tia’s channel rippled and tightened. He fucked her slowly with his tongue, keeping his eyes on her beautiful, flushed face all the time.
She looked so beautiful, and he wanted to see her come for him.
Caine thrust harder into her, fucking her relentlessly with his tongue until she panted and cried out. She was so close, and with the next thrust, she orgasmed, her body bucking off the mattress.
Tia blinked rapidly as her shudders subsided. She pushed herself up on her elbows and watched Caine undress. She licked her lips as she traced the hard lines of his body with gleaming eyes.
“Condom,” she whispered.
Caine fished a condom out of his wallet and rolled it on quickly. Even dazed with lust, Tia was alert and careful. This tiny, human female was smart and strong. She knew how to protect herself.
He wanted more than one night with her.
And he had never wanted any woman for more than one night.
But Tia wasn’t any woman.
Tia was his.
Caine wanted to mark her and make her his completely tonight. But he sensed that Tia wouldn’t appreciate being marked without warning. Furthermore, she had only just met him tonight. She might be up for one night of no-strings-attached fun, but anything more and she might balk and bolt from his bed and his arms.
He would have to take things slow with her.
Well, considering that they were both naked right now, they weren’t taking things too slowly.
Sex wasn’t love. Sex didn’t mean anything. It was just a physical need, and while Caine always made sure his lovers were well-pleasured and satisfied, he never wanted anything more with them.
But with Tia, he wanted everything.
Her sweet, feminine scent wrapped around him, and he wanted her scent on his skin all the time. He wanted her, and he wanted to belong to her.
Caine growled as he stared at her blushing, heart-shaped face. His wolf was riding him hard. Both the wolf and the man craved this female. His wolf had never, ever bothered with any of the women he’d had before. It was just sex, and his wolf wasn’t interested in sex. His wolf was only interested in his mate.
Caine sucked in a hard breath at the sudden, momentous, explosive realization.
Tia wasn’t a one night stand.
Tia was his mate.
