Colorblind (Moonlight) by Violette Dubrinsky

Perhaps, even, a naked and aroused Penny. He hardened at the thought and walked faster, eager to get out of these constricting clothes and be inside his mate.
    He’d just entered his room and was tugging at his cravat and the buttons of his shirt when a low growl pierced the dark silence of the room. He froze briefly before his head whipped in the direction, eyes adjusting and ears finding the source of the sound.
    Penny lay on her side on the bed, yellow eyes glaring into him as a snarl marred her beautiful face. Leon took a step forward and halted when she growled once more. It was a clear warning.
    What is it, ma louve ? He quickly scanned the rest of the room, trying to see if there was anything odd about it. Everything was in order. Penny?
    She growled again, but this time, she moved from the bed. She was naked underneath the thin covers, and Leon felt himself grow even harder as she made her way over to him.
    Her walk was purposeful, white teeth gleaming, revealing the wickedly pointed canines at each side. She came to an abrupt stop before him, inhaled once, and promptly began to attack his clothes. One claw sliced through his shirt, popping buttons. Before he could recover from his shock, she cut through his trousers. Her claws never touched his skin, but his clothing was shredded beyond recognition. When she was finished, she grabbed the fabric, walked briskly over to his door, opened it, and threw the tattered pieces outside.
    At that moment, he entered her mind, and understood what she was doing. She’d smelled Catherine on him and wasn’t pleased. When she closed the door, he moved behind her, burying his face in her neck as he attempted to comfort and reassure. She broke free and he allowed her to push him back against the wall. She came forward quickly, sniffing at his skin as she inspected him.
    I only danced with her, ma louve.
    Her head jerked up as if surprised at the sound of his voice in her head, but her eyes only narrowed further as she continued her sniffing. Although he could have overpowered her into listening to him, he allowed her to do it her way, mostly because he understood. He shuddered to think of what he would do if she were ever to come to him smelling of another male.
    When she was satisfied, she attempted to step away but he caught her around her waist and held her steady. He could feel her internal struggle. She wanted to fight him, but she also craved what his body could give her. Before she could decide on either one, he caught her chin between his fingers, lifted her face, and kissed her. As he’d known it would, her lust exploded around them. As soon as the scent of her arousal hit his nose, he growled.
    Her leg lifted to his waist and he moved his hand under her ass and pulled her up. Finding her slick opening, he pushed deep, dragging growls from both of them. Penny locked her knees at his hips and curled her feet around his legs as she began to move. He kissed her neck, sucked at a tender spot, before running his tongue to her shoulder.
    She whimpered and her body began to tremble. On quick feet, Leon took them to the bed, where he lowered and came down atop her, still joined. He began to thrust, hard, powerful thrusts that brought deep growls from Penny’s lips and grunts from his own. One long-fingered, feminine hand clutched his back as the other slipped into his hair, pulling his head down to her breast.
    Leon suckled her tenderly at first, and then he tugged harder, nipped at her. She cried out in pleasure, and he licked his way back to her shoulder, pausing to kiss it tenderly before he sank his teeth into her flesh. Her body bowed off the bed and he slid deeper, growling, as she began a rapid clenching around him. Her moans and cries filled the room, and he held still, waiting for her. When most of the tremors left her, he began moving again, but a soft palm pressed firmly against his chest, halting him.
    In the split second he paused and lifted his head, she pushed up
