Taken by Night: BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance (Night and Day Ink Book 4) (3 page)

She had just showered and put on a tank top and some panties when she checked her cell phone for any emails. There was one from Brett. It said he needed her to bring a contract to someone out of town.  He gave her an address she wasn’t familiar with and asked her to be there tomorrow afternoon.

She put the address into her cell phone’s map system and frowned. The place was almost two hours away. This was her job, though, so there was no reason for her to say no. She would get reimbursed for the miles and gas. No wonder he’d been so nice all day, she laughed, he’d been looking to get her to run an errand. He could have just asked.

Laying in bed with the stranger in her mind, she was shaken out of her daydreaming when her cell phone rang. An unknown number popped on her screen. She didn’t usually answer calls from numbers she didn’t recognize, but she had just given Alex her number and worried he was depressed and needed to talk.

“Hello?”

“Hello, beautiful.”

Oh. Dear. God. That voice. She’d burned it into her mind along with every single dirty thing he’d said to her during their night of wild sex. “How did you, um, get my number?”

He chuckled, the sound seeped into her pores and started a fire in her blood. “I have my ways.”

“I told you it was just one night,” she tried to say with a note of command. Unfortunately, the huskiness in her voice only made it sound like a sensual plea.

“Stop worrying so much about our night together,” he said softly into the line. “Unless you’re in a relationship already, it doesn’t matter if we have one night or a thousand of them.”

Her nipples turned into stiff points listening to his voice. It appeared she was the only one trying to keep their one night in the past.

“I’m not in a relationship,” she mumbled. She leaned back on her pillows, trying to calm the racing of her heart and the hitch in her voice.

Geez. He had managed to get her hormones to do the mambo by simply calling. It was surreal.

“I can’t stop thinking about you,” he breathed. “Especially the purring.”

She licked her lips. “The purring?”

“Yes. It’s hot as hell. Every time I remember my dick gets hard. All I want to do is fuck you for hours.”

Her tigress pushed under the skin, sending a soft purr up her throat.

“That’s the sound,” he groaned. “So fucking sexy.”

“You called to tell me my purring is sexy?” She asked in disbelief. No man had ever said that to her.

“Not just your purrs. Your entire body. Every curve, every dip. I want to lick you all over and make you squirm.”

Oh, sweet mother of all things dirty. It was getting really uncomfortable to be in her panties. Her breathing turned ragged and she hadn’t even moved.

“Squirming. Not screaming?” She mumbled. Holy hell! He was making her wet with only whispering those words in her ear.

“What are you wearing?”

Oh. Shit. She knew where this was going. Should she follow his game or forget all about it. Fuck it. She decided to play along.

“A tank top.”

“And below?”

“Panties,” she said, clearing her dry throat.

“I like the idea of you in that. Would like you naked better. Do you have any toys?” he asked with enough command in his voice she didn’t think to not answer.

She bit her lip. “Yes.”

“Pull out your favorites and lay them beside you on the bed.”

Fire raced down her veins. She ached from how aroused she was. Searching through her bedside drawer, she pulled out some nipple clamps and a rotating head rabbit. “Okay, I got some toys out.”

She couldn’t stop her voice from growing into a low purr. Her tigress was so close to the surface, she had a hard time sounding human at all.

“Now take your clothes off. All of it. Then lay in the center of the bed and spread your legs wide. Tell me when you’re done.” She loved how rough and commanding he sounded. Like he was having a hard time controlling his own animal.

She pressed the speaker button on the cell phone and shrugged out of her clothes. She was crazy. How could a man she hardly knew talk her into doing this? Oh, who the fuck cared. She lay back on the bed, placing the cell phone on the curve of her neck, cradling it so she could use both hands. “I’m ready.”

“Are you?” he breathed. “Only one way to find out. Bring your hand down between your legs, spread your pussy lips open and tell me how wet you are, love.”

She did as he asked, running her hand over her soft belly and slipping her fingers between her folds. She did a slow circle over her clit, moaning at how sensitive she was. She was wet. Soaked. “Oh... I’m...”

“You’re hot and wet, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” she gasped. “Oh, yes,” she purred. It felt so good to have her finger rubbing her clit. She imagined it was his tongue on her.

“What toys did you bring out to play?”

Goodness. She didn’t know she had it in her to do this whole phone-sex thing. She’d never done it before, but this man had talked her into it with the minimum of words. “A rabbit and...”

“And?” His voice sounded choppy. Like he was doing his own touching of himself, but she couldn’t know that for sure.

“And nipple clamps.” She loved the nipple clamps. It was just the right amount of pressure when she played with herself.

“Nipple clamps. I can imagine your pretty little nipples wearing them. Put the clamps on.”

She gulped, picking up the chain connecting the clamps. The leather that would squeeze her nipples was soft to touch, but the chain was cool on her overheated chest. She went ahead and clipped one on the first nipple and then the other. Her pussy throbbed instantly. She liked the bite of pain on her breasts.

“Ah, baby. Purr for me some more,” he groaned. She didn’t realize she had purred when she’d put the nipple clamps on.

She tugged on the metal chain and a throaty moan escaped her lips. That felt amazing.

“Get the rabbit,” his voice broke through her haze of need. “Turn it on and rub it on your clit,” he whispered. “I want to hear you moan.”

She pressed a few buttons on her bright pink rabbit and it buzzed to life. She brought it down to her pussy, sliding it up and down her folds. Oh, good lord that was good. So good. She gasped, forgetting about the phone. Once it was nice and slick with her scent, she pushed the toy into her channel.

“Oh!” she groaned, squeezing her eyes closed.

“Go on. Do you like feeling the rabbit pulsing in your pussy?”

“Yes,” she moaned. “Not as much as I like you in me.”

Where had that come from? She had a hard time thinking straight. The vibrations coursing through her were pushing the tension inside her to a near breaking point.

“Fuck!” he growled. “Are you fucking yourself with the rabbit? Tell me you are. Tell me you’re shoving it in deep and pulling it out soaked with your heat,” he groaned. “Tell me how good it feels to have it vibrating inside. Is it dulling your need or making you want to fuck even more?”

She licked her lips, enjoying how frustrated he sounded. “Yes. It’s good, but not good enough.” She pressed a button and the head vibrated in circles inside her at the same time the clit stimulant buzzed on. Her body shook and she tugged on the chain dangling from her nipple clamps again. A loud purr filled her bedroom.

“That’s it. Keep fucking yourself with the rabbit. Imagine that’s me fucking you. My cock going deep into you, pulling back wet with your heat.” The tone of his voice turned rougher. “Imagine it’s me between your gorgeous wide legs, going balls deep into you, filling you. I’m the one there. The one making you moan and purr.”

The image he conveyed with his words made her push the toy deep into her body. “I can’t stop. I need to come,” she mumbled.

“Keep going,” he growled in her ear. “I want to hear you come. Push that rabbit as far as you can. Feel your pussy wrap tight around it. Is it good?”

“
Yesss
”

“That’s me inside you. My cock making your legs tremble. My teeth biting on your nipples. It’s my dick you’re going to come on any second now.”

She tugged on the chain at the same time she pressed the clit stimulant directly on her bundle of nerves. She gasped. Tension snapped. An explosion of heat shook her to the core. The warmth was quickly replaced by waves of pleasure. She moaned a loud purr of his name.

“Yes!” He roared. “That’s it. Come hard. Wet that rabbit,” he breathed harshly over the line. “I wish I was there to lick your scent off the toy. Lick it off you.”

Oh, she wished he was there too. Her body ached with unfulfilled need for him. “I—”

“I might not be there now, but I’ll be seeing you soon, beautiful,” he said, his voice full of promise. “And when I do, I’m not just fucking you in every way possible and coming in every hole in your body, I’m going to make you mine.”

The way he said the words, with not an ounce of hesitation, worried her. This was a dangerous game she played. She didn’t know this guy. One night. That’s all they’d had. “You don’t know me.”

He chuckled. The sound drove her tigress wild. “I know everything I need to know. You have a body I want to lick for hours. A pussy I want to come in and an ass made for fucking.”

“I’m more than just body parts you can fuck,” she said, the heat from her body cooling to be replaced with some annoyance.

“Oh, I know that. I know you’re smart. Funny. Work hard. Dress sexy as hell and can’t control your tigress.” She heard the smile in his voice.

How did he know she was smart and worked hard? The rest, he could have guessed easily. “I could be a black widow.”

He roared a laugh. “You could be. I’ll take the chance and get my fill of you before you try to cut my head off.”

She rolled her eyes. He was making fun of her. She couldn’t find it in her to mind. Instead, she grinned like an idiot. “It’s your funeral. Being with me again could mean your life.”

“But what a way to go,” he joked. “Seems you’ve forgotten I’m not weak. I think it’s time to remind you.”

Her heart, already thudding wildly in her chest, kicked it up a notch. Excitement burned in her veins. She didn’t want to admit it, but she wanted to see him. She hadn’t stopped thinking about him. Hell, she was unable to close her eyes and not see him in her mind, fucking her. Or hear his dirty words by her ears.

Her doorbell rang. She frowned. Shit! Who was that? She was naked, in bed, with a phone in her ear and a rabbit laying next to her leg.

“Open the door.”

Oh, no. What had he done? She took off the nipple clamps and threw on her robe, tying it tight around her waist as she rushed out of her room to answer the door.  The delivery person from her favorite pizza place was at the door.

“Hey, Kenny. What are you doing here?”

The kid smiled. “You got a pizza, Ms. Cruz,” he said, handing her a box. “It’s been paid for. Have a good night.”

She brought the pie box inside, the contents driving her crazy with the amazing smell. Once she had a slice of sausage and cheese pizza, she ran back to her bedroom, grinning from ear to ear.

“You got me pizza!”

His laughter boomed on the speaker phone. “Glad you liked my surprise. I figured you’d enjoy that more than anything else at this time of the night.”

She should be concerned, he’d taken another liberty of having something delivered to her, but she could take care of herself. He could have shown up at her door with the pizza himself and she’d have let him in. Heck, she’d have dragged him in.

“Thank you. That was really thoughtful of you. I was starving since I haven’t made any dinner.” She’d forgotten all about eating with her thoughts of him. At least one of them was worried about her going to bed hungry.

“You’re welcome. I would have been there myself, but I know you need to get used to the idea.”

She blinked, her mouth full of pizza. “What idea?”

“You and me. More than just a night of sex.”

Yeah, she knew. He wanted lots of nights of sex. “You don’t know me.”

He laughed again. “I know more than you think, beautiful. Enjoy your pizza. Good night.”

She swallowed the bite of pizza and stared at the phone on her bed. What did he know that she didn’t?

Tina smiled at the slew of messages Brett had sent her. She couldn’t stop from laughing at some of the questions. He’d spent the entire morning asking her about herself. And knowing he was in Japan, bored to death, she figured she could humor him.

“What’s so funny?” Stephanie asked, walking up to Tina’s desk.

“The questions Brett is asking me. What’s my all-time favorite love song?” She giggled. “I swear he is making me feel like I’m filling out an online dating profile.”

Stephanie’s brows rose. “What else is he asking you?”

She shrugged. “Silly stuff. I think he needs to go out more. Or sleep. Isn’t it super late there?”

Stephanie nodded. “Yeah. It’s very late in Japan.”

“He seems to just want to talk to someone from this side of the world. I’ll humor him until he gives me something else to do.” Tina grinned at the screen where a new question had popped up. “Where does he get this stuff? If I had to choose one thing to take with me on a romantic getaway, what would it be?” She glanced at Stephanie’s smiling face. “I think he is filling out a dating profile for himself with my answers. I really do.”

Stephanie giggled. “What are you going to say?”

“The truth,” she said and started typing. “I would take a good book in case the romance didn’t live up to the hype.” She laughed and glanced at Stephanie again.

Stephanie shook her head. “You’re clearly not dating the right men if the romance doesn’t live up to the hype. I thought that was how you people did things. Wild. Growly sex with biting, scratching and roaring?”

Tina’s cheeks heated. That’s the kind of sex she’d had with her stranger, but she hadn’t had sex that amazing before or after him.

“Yeah, well, not everything is the way people think sometimes,” she sighed.

A new message popped up on her screen. Shit. She almost forgot to go take that contract. “I’m going,” she replied vocally to the text message like he could hear her. Then she typed the words and shut her pc down. “I’m going to deliver that contract. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

She rushed by Stephanie and stopped when a wave of dizziness overcame her. She grabbed the edge of her desk, trying to stop the vile that shot up her throat.

“Are you okay?” Stephanie grabbed her arm. “I’ve never seen anyone turn that shade of green before. Need me to walk you to the bathroom?”

She shook her head and regretted it. What the hell was going on?

She closed her eyes, trying to push back the urge to gag and focused on her tigress. The animal lay dormant. There was too much quiet going on inside her body. She pushed inside herself, looking for the source of discomfort and almost fainted for real.

“Oh, no.”

Stephanie squeezed her arm. “Come on, we can make it to the bathroom. Now you’re so pale I think you’re going to pass out.”

“I’m not going to pass out.” Maybe. Hopefully.

She couldn’t tell Stephanie the source of her distress. No wonder her animal was quiet. She was busy enjoying the change inside Tina. She hadn’t given her heat going away a second thought after that amazing night of sex with the stranger, because nothing in her body had changed. Fool. She hadn’t scented any differences in herself or detect any changes to worry. Until now.

“Are you sure you’re not going to pass out?” Stephanie asked. “You looked really pale, still.”

Of course she did. She was pregnant. From a man she didn’t even know his name. Okay, she might throw up
now
. Her tigress purred with happiness. She’d gotten what she wanted. Freaking cat. Now Tina had to figure out what to do. Not just about being pregnant, but about the one-night stand that didn’t want to stay a one-night stand.

She left the office in a haze, her mind a total blur. The entire ride up to the cabin Brett sent her to, she’d been consumed with what she would do. She was capable of taking care of and raising a child alone, but it wasn’t fair to not tell the man who helped make it happen.

She was so distracted, she’d gotten to the cabin and had to hit the brakes quickly to keep from passing it. Her pulse pounded at the base of her throat, making it hard for her to swallow.

A quick glance around the area told her she was in heaven. It was gorgeous. Her tigress perked up at the number of trees and trails. For a shifter, that was a dream come true. She cast a long look at the cabin when she hopped out of the car. The door opened and her breath swooshed out in a rush at the figure standing by the door.

He made a move to come towards her, but she shook her head so he stopped. “What are you doing here?” She asked. She heard the surprise in her own voice.
