her anger.
“I’m having visions of you for a reason, Jin.” His deadly growl sent shivers over her
flesh.
The tiny hairs on the back of her neck stood at attention while her spine popped from the
sudden rush of adrenaline surging through her.
“Forgive me for not being an expert on visions.” Jin shoved against him with all her
strength, focusing on her hatred of visions in general. She’d lived too many years hearing
how she wasn’t good enough for not being able to master her own visions. That memory
allowed her to apply the strength she needed to overcome the feverish need throbbing
inside her. “I don’t know why you kept seeing me. Maybe it was a hint to stay the fuck
away from me,” she howled, leaping off the counter and then bounding out the bathroom.
She headed toward her clothes. Kane was right behind her and wrapped his arm around
her, taking both of them down to the bed. Their bodies fell into line perfectly and when
he slid deep inside her soaked heat, Jin stilled, unable to do anything but wait for him to
fill her completely.
He grabbed her wrists, pressing her flat on her back while taking her hands over her head
and then pinning them there.
“Tell me to stop,” he growled, thrusting deeper inside her.
“No.” She twisted her hands, trying to free herself from his grasp.
Kane tightened his grip. “Tell me why you don’t want me to stop.” He used his legs to
spread hers farther apart, and then growled when he thrust his thick, long cock deep
inside her.
Jin howled, squeezing her eyes closed and fighting to free her hands. She hated being
confined, hated it more than anything, which was why it sucked when she was turned-on
even more by Kane stretching her out underneath him.
“Because you want me to tell you to stop,” she said, fighting to keep her tone calm when
she wanted to howl for him to fuck her harder.
She opened her eyes, managing to focus on his face when he laughed. The low, slow
chuckle bordered on dangerous. Kane didn’t smile but focused on her intently while
taking his time pulling out of her. Once again he hadn’t bothered with the condoms,
which she was sure were still in their wrappers at the side of the bed. Mentioning it would
only make her smell like the hypocrite. She loved feeling him inside her—loved it more
than she should.
“There’s nothing wrong with admitting what we can both so easily smell.” His tone was
soft, almost soothing when he receded to where the tip of his cock stretched her opening.
He would make her insane. Jin gritted her teeth together, staring into his blue eyes,
which were laced with silver. It was as if tiny lightning streaks stretched around his irises,
allowing her to see how strong emotions tore through him. His gaze locked on to hers and
it seemed moments lasted forever. His features were hard, showing how confident and
aggressive his nature was. And even though his tone was soft, every muscle in his body
bulged and was harder than steel. She swore he would pounce or thrust himself into her
hard enough she would scream. That thought sent a rush of anticipation searing her
insides and making her smolder and shiver at the same time.
“What is it you think you smell?” Her voice was scratchy, rough from the almost
unbearable need tearing her insides apart.
Jin barely got the question out of her mouth when Kane thrust forward, his hips hitting
hers as he impaled her with enough force to split her in two. At the same time, his fingers
wrapped around her wrists, holding her in place as he filled and stretched her.
With that one thrust everything inside her shattered. The pressure broke, causing wave
after wave of pleasure to wash over her. He hit that spot, the one she didn’t know existed
until that moment, causing the fire inside her to explode and ignite a sensation so intense,
so incredibly perfect, she wasn’t sure she’d live through it.
She cried out, positive he growled with a fierceness matching her own, and willed him to
continue. As mind-blowing as that one thrust was, taking her over the edge and giving
her an orgasm more powerful and stronger than anything she’d known before, she wanted
more. She needed more. Now.
“Please,” was all she said, and it amazed her she said it out loud when he impaled her
again. “God, yes,” she uttered, barely able to speak as she continued twisting her wrists
against his firm grip.
“You want this,” he growled, pacing his words as he fucked her with a rhythm increasing
each time he entered her. “As much as I do.”
“Yes,” she admitted, unable to hold back any longer. If he asked her anything right now
she’d give it to him, agree or confide. It was dangerous space but an area she had no
desire to leave. The way he fucked her removed all barriers, took away all inhibitions and
made her feel more one with him than she had ever felt with any leopard her entire life.
Kane let go of her wrists. He moved his hands, tangling his fingers in her hair and at the
same time adjusting his legs. She lifted her legs, spreading open for him and allowing
him to travel farther, enter deeper and fill her with his cock, which seemed to grow to
accommodate her.
Her hands were lighter than air and floated over her head before she was able to
acknowledge she once again could move them where she wished. And she wished to
touch Kane. She wanted to know every inch of him, explore all that rippling muscle with
her fingers and learn his movements as he made them.
Jin grabbed his arms, holding on momentarily when the pressure suddenly soared to
dangerous levels once again. Lights flashed before her eyes when he increased the pace,
fucking her even harder, faster, with more determination than she was sure she could
handle. And it wasn’t her nature to admit not being able to handle anything.
“Look at me.” Kane’s voice seemed to drift around her, his deep baritone drifting toward
her on the heavy fog of lust drenching the air between them.
Jin blinked, panting hard as she took him clear up to her bellybutton. His face was a blur
yet oddly enough she understood his expression. “I see you,” she gasped.
He filled her, holding the position and breathing as hard as she was. “This, right here,”
he said, taking his time speaking as he let go of her hair and slowly straightened, no
longer leaning on his arms but kneeling between her legs. “This is one of my visions.”
It wasn’t the first time a leopard told her the moment they shared was something they’d
seen in a vision. Jin’s visions were flashes, not always very clear, and seldom anything
she could hold on to in order to say she lived through an event the way it played out in
her mind. Her sire told her she was so undeveloped as a leopard capable of visions she
might as well not have them at all.
At the moment her sire’s cutting words didn’t bother her. And although she’d believed
others in the past when they were able to say what would happen in the next few minutes
because it was something they’d sniffed out before in a vision, it always disturbed her
when she was told she was living through a time already played out in someone else’s
head. For whatever reasons, Kane telling her this now didn’t upset her.
“What happens next?” she asked, focusing on his eyes and experiencing the oddest
sensation her world was tilting but as long as she held on to him, she’d be okay.
The corner of his mouth curved, although she wasn’t sure if he grinned or if possibly it
was more of a smirk. Maybe he believed she mocked him since that was what she’d done
anytime he tried opening up to her. The overwhelming aroma from their fucking made it
impossible to pick out any other emotions he might be experiencing that moment.
“You agree to stay with me.” He didn’t start fucking her hard again but kept the pace
deliberately and painfully slow.
“What makes me agree to do that?” At least she was able to catch her breath.
“Because you know it’s the right thing to do.” He continued gliding deep into her
soaked, throbbing pussy. “But you’re going to come so hard I won’t be able to stop
myself from coming as well.”
“I’m ready when you are.” The words were barely out of her mouth when he filled her,
once again touching that tender spot deep in her womb. She gasped, opening her eyes
wide and pressing her palms against his steel chest.
She stretched her fingers, stroking his hot flesh and feeling his heart pound and cause her
fingers to tingle, as if suddenly all circulation were cut off to them.
“I’ll pull out if you want me to.” His offer sounded so sincere, so full of concern as he
watched her.
Jin felt her heart swell, unsure why suddenly he cared so much about her feelings on the
subject when he’d opted not to use the condoms during either of their lovemaking
sessions. It was strange experiencing her feelings with so much clarity. Wherever the
wall was that so successfully protected her from caring at all about any other leopard
she’d been intimate with, it was no longer around her heart. Without it now, a glow
seemed to spread through her. And she liked how it felt.
“No,” she whispered, experiencing the warmth from his gaze and enjoying the sensations
building. The pressure, an unusual calm and the soothing heat that filled her, took over
and grew until she couldn’t bear it any longer. “Kane,” she hissed, blinking but
maintaining eye contact when he lowered his mouth to hers.
“Jin,” he whispered before covering her mouth with his and then swelling inside her,
driving in her one last time before a growl erupted deep inside him and grew until he
lifted his head, thrusting again as he howled.
She grabbed his shoulders, feeling him spill his seed inside her. She quivered and then
shook as her orgasm erupted, causing explosion after explosion to tear her apart inside.
His face disappeared and a bright light, blinding and overwhelming, seemed to lift and
carry her, keeping her from experiencing anything other than the continual spasms
ripping her apart, taking all fear and apprehension to keep this male anywhere but by her
side far, far away.
Something happened, and it was more than coming after really good sex. She couldn’t
catch her breath, and if it wasn’t for feeling his powerful body against her hands, Jin
wouldn’t be sure she still lay on the motel room bed. It wasn’t because he just told her
something unusual would occur. She wasn’t that easily influenced. If anything, Jin knew
herself pretty damn well. No one moved her, converted her or swayed her to their side
with their howling or any other manipulations. Yet she drifted, unable to restore the
protective barriers that kept her from feeling and made her untouchable and incapable of
being hurt. She was exposed and it should be scaring the crap out of her that she didn’t
care.
“Jin,” Kane whispered, his mouth moving over hers.
She licked her lips, suddenly aware of how dry they were.
“Little cat,” he said, and sucked in her lower lip then scraped it with his teeth.
She gasped, or was pretty sure she did. His cock was still swollen deep inside her and
jerked when she breathed into his mouth.
“You know I’m not letting you go,” he added, moving his mouth away from hers and
creating a hot, moist path to her jaw bone and then down her neck.
She couldn’t think of an answer, especially since it wasn’t a question. She tried lowering
her legs, but they were relaxed on his shoulders and she didn’t find the strength to lift
them and then lower them.
“However much time it takes, I’m willing to wait it out.” His soothing baritone helped
calm her pounding heart, which helped cool her overheated flesh. “I hope I smell trust on
you soon.”
Jin opened her eyes when he slid out of her, taking the incredibly appealing heat with
him and leaving her chilled, soaked and empty. He appeared satisfied without her
responding. As he moved away from her, she lowered her legs until she relaxed in the
middle of the bed, completely spent as if she’d just run halfway across the country.
Everything he just said finally reached her brain.
She watched him leave the bed and then walk naked into the bathroom. His content,
protective scent remained wrapped around her even after the shower started running. A
sudden panic made her stiffen and she sat up so fast the room spun. Although she’d swear
she hadn’t uttered a word, the oddest sensation hit her, almost making her sick. She
hadn’t just agreed to remain with him, had she?
As bad as the weather was yesterday, today the sun shone brightly, even if it offered
little warmth. Kane followed the tall, quiet owl along a well-trodden path toward a large
house. The home looked old, although the smell of new construction lingered in the air.
Possibly Tore recently added on to the place. Kane remembered Tore telling Jin he lived
with his mate, so maybe this had been her litter’s home and now belonged to them. Either
way, it was a large, rambling brick and wood home, very secluded without the smells of
humans anywhere. Exactly the way Kane liked to live.
Dover stepped up to the heavy-looking wooden door and knocked loudly. Kane caught a
whiff of Jin’s nervousness, even with all the leather she wore. He didn’t like the dead
