Present time
DJ’s POV
My fingers raked over his broad, firm chest and I could feel his muscles tens underneath the firm skin. It was tanned as if he’d spent all day in the sun almost glowing golden. His terrifyingly blue eyes gazed into mine and I could see them darken with lust. Without needing a mirror, I knew my own eyes matched his with equal ferocity.
“MINE,” he growled, and his hand came around squeezing my neck. It wasn’t painful, but let me know, that he was the one in control. And I know it should have freaked me out, but instead, I felt myself go hot and my naked p***y leaked out more juices. As if sensing my growing, uncontrollable need for him, he growled low in his throat and crashed his lips to mine. Electricity, so strong it jolted my entire body, sizzled my lips and trickled down my spine, and turned my core into molten lave. Unable to control myself I let out a low moan and I could feel him smirk against my lips…
Arrogant bastard!
He knew exactly what he was doing to me, and he enjoyed it. But just as I was tempted to pull away – just to teach him a lesson – his tongue traced the seam of my lips and willing or not, they parted and gave him access. And--- oh goddess! He f****d my mouth – ate me out! – the way I wanted him to f**k me!
“Please,” I heard myself plead with an erotic and sensual voice, I barely recognized as my own. On their own accord, my hands went for the hem of my skirt and pulled it up, allowing me to sink more onto him. I was a panting mess at this point. My body was trembling, and my blood was boiling. My wolf was howling in my head and if I didn’t have him inside of me within the next few seconds, I felt like I could combust…
Sensing my need, I heard him undo his belt and jeans, and then, I could feel his hard rod propping my entrance. I cried out in relief, and I moaned, as I slowly sank onto him, letting him split me open and---
“Earth to DJ!” Karen huffed and waved her hand in front of me, snapping me out of my daydream. I let out a startled scream and spun towards her. My mouth was completely dry and my cheeks hot enough to fry eggs! My heart hammered in my chest, and--- oh no! Even I could smell my own arousal! That’s how turned on I was. And the way she smirked at me – despite her being human – I knew, I was totally busted.
“Are you done with being a creepy stalker for tonight, or do you need another minute?” She teased holding her hand out for the shaker I’d spent the last minute and a half drying off. Smiling nervously, I handed her the tool and pretended to be interested in EVERYTHING that wasn’t the tall, dark and handsome figure, lurking in the dark corner…
And failed miserably!
What can I say?
I’m weak!
At least when it came to the gorgeous, tall, and mysterious Russian that came in every night. Every time I passed him, I swear my body came alive and my wolf was howling out her want in my head. He felt like a magnet, and I just had to go wherever he was. Or at least a magnet on my ladies-part, because just being near him – taking in his intoxicating scent – made them all tingle and cry, craving to have him inside and---
And there went my dirty mind again!
Ever since he started coming here, my beasts had become fixated on him and something in my blood had called out “beloved” and “mate”. I didn’t know what it meant, but if anything it made me more determined than ever to stay as far away from him as possible! I know LJ had warned me that I might have a fated mate out there – thanks to my vampire side! – but there was no way I was about to be the i***t to fall for the same trick twice…
Once burned, twice shy, and all that s**t!
No! Never again!
Been there, done that, and still had the scars to remind me why I’d sworn off men. Permanently! I mean, sure, there was a time I’d tried the whole dating thing again but finding out that one was a cheating asshole and the other one was a freeloader, I was a steady ‘one-night-stand’-type of girl.
Which was why this stranger seemed so dangerous. He looked like the type that could make me think of more than just once. He was someone I wanted again and again because once would never be enough with him…
Forcing myself to concentrate on my work, I managed to put the rest of the tools away. But being the weak, horny woman that I was, my eyes quickly drifted over to the corner, where my latest s****l fixation was at his usual seat.
He was clearly human, despite his intoxicating scent and he’d been coming here every night for the last couple of weeks. His eyes were such a pale blue color, I sometimes could have sworn they were crystals. And they always seemed to be following me everywhere I went. And the way they roamed over me, made my womb clench and my blood long to sink my teeth into his neck and---
And f**k!
Now I need to change my panties!
Despite being less vampire than my twin brother Landon, I still had to feed from time to time. And every time it made me horny. As in so horny, I usually ended up at some bar, picking up a random guy I just had to f**k for dessert! And right now the tall, handsome Russian looked like dinner, dessert, and just more…!
Bad libido, bad!
“You should go talk to him,” Karen suddenly said, and I realized I’d been staring at him again. And hell, if I wasn’t mistaken there was a smug smile lingering on his lips as if he’d caught me doing something he definitely liked.
Spinning around – and pretending I still had my dignity intact – I faced Karen.
“No!” I said firmly, determined to stand my ground on this one. Because, the way he affected me, I couldn’t risk getting close to him. I just needed to--- not be where he was. Which was easier said than done, considering he was always here. And the way my body reacted to him made it hard for my mind to pretend he wasn’t here…
“Why not?” Karen asked with a frown, looking at me curiously. She was human, in her early 30s and despite her name getting a bad name lately, she was one of the sweetest, toughest and kindest people I knew. She was fun and a good friend to have at your back whenever you needed it. She didn’t know about us supernaturals, and in many ways, I liked that about her.
Kept things less complicated…
“I’m done with bad boys remember?” I said, gesturing to the Russian epitome of ‘bad-boy’! “Done falling for tall, dark, and jerk! The next guy I’m going for has to be boring!” I continued with a shake of my head. I did also notice that Karen’s grin faded, and her eyes widen in fear, but I didn’t pause to consider what the cause of that might be.
“As in wears a suit and glasses and lives in his parent’s basement,” I added with a grin and wondered if my boss was having a stroke or something. She was discretely trying to waft her hand over her throat and without a second thought, I took a glass of water and handed it to her. It was rather hot tonight and humans did get easily dehydrated. Yeah, looking back I realized that this was a huge hint, but I was too lost in my own thought to take it. Instead, I jerked my thumb in the general direction that the Russian had been sitting.
“The Russian s*x-on-legs looks like an amazing f**k-toy but---!”
Karen suddenly jumps forward and clamped her hands over my mouth.
“What can I get you?” she beamed at someone behind us. Surprised I turned around--- and pale when I realize it was the hot Russian guy, I’d just been shamelessly shaming. Not that he seemed to mind! There was a huge smug grin on his face, and he didn’t even have the decency to pretend he hadn’t heard me.
Nope!
He appreciatively raked his eyes over my body and--- and willing or not, it made my heart pump faster and my s*x quiver. And damn, he looked so pleased about the reaction, I swear he could smell my arousal when he breathed deeply through his nose…
“Vodka,” he practically groaned out, his deep Russian accent sending a shiver down my spine. And f**k me now, because I had to bit down a moan just listening to that voice.
Bed.
Us.
NOW!
That’s practically the only thing my body was screaming. My wolf and blood were in total agreement. Hell, strip me down and take me now and--- and what the hell was wrong with me? Did this guy slip me some sort of werewolf/vampire acid?! Because being this close to him, I felt drunk…
“Coming right up,” Karen said with a polite smile, and finally let go of my mouth. She then turned to me with an ‘I tried to warn you’-look. Yeah, looking back ALL the signs were there! I was just too blind to see them…
“Yeah, I’m going to the basement for more supplies,” I said, hoping to save face, and quickly rushed out of there. “And find a cold corner to die!”
Because if embarrassment could kill you, this was my last night on earth!
