Fabulous Beast by Unknown Page B

closing as she swayed more heavily against him.
    “You make me feel exactly the same way,” he confided deeply, holding her close.
    “You don’t mind that I’m seducing you tonight?” She smiled against his shoulder, confident now of her welcome.
    “I can’t even think straight at the moment. How could I mind what you do to me? Take me to bed, Tabby, please!”
    She nipped erotically at his shoulder as she found the buckle of his belt and unfastened it. In another moment he was dressed as she was, in only his briefs.
    “You’re wonderful,” she breathed in blatant admiration as she stepped back to drink her fill of his hard, muscular frame. “Sleek and strong and wonderful! Oh, Dev!” Moving forward again, she arched herself fluidly into his warmth, her fingers digging deeply into the coiled muscles of his back.
    Somehow they were moving, shifting backward the few steps to the bed, and then Tabitha sank down, drawing him after her. Dev followed urgently, willingly giving himself up to her gentle touch.
    Inflamed now with the sensual success she was achieving, Tabitha pushed imperiously until he fell onto his back. Dev watched with a lambent flame in his eyes as she knelt beside him and began to explore the sleek hardness of his body.
    “Tabby, you must be a Siren or a mermaid. Anytime you call, I’ll come. I could never resist.” He gasped as she lightly scored the inside of his thigh with her nails and then he sighed as she sprinkled hungry kisses down his chest to the pit of his stomach. Her growing love for him was eliciting a surprising inventiveness from her, she realized. Never had she experienced such an overwhelming urge to explore a man’s body.
    Lost in a world of passionate discovery, Tabitha barely heard his muttered words. She listened only for the harsh sound of his heavy breathing and the gasps of desire which told her that whatever she was doing was right. His strong thighs twisted as she caressed him, and the thrusting evidence of his desire was hard and eager when she found it with her tender fingers.
    “My yes, Tabby!” Then he seemed to lose control, pulling at her until she sprawled along the length of him in a silken tangle. “Now, honey, take me, now!” he blazed fiercely. His fingers went at once to the bit of satin at her hips, jerking it down over her full buttocks. Obediently Tabitha kicked the little garment free and then she came back to him.
    Impulsively she settled astride his hips. It would be like riding a dragon , she thought fleetingly. And then, as his hands guided her firmly down onto him, she tensed, aware that he was far, far different from her ex-husband and in more than just a mental or emotional way.
    “Dev?” The breath stilled in her throat as he waited, poised beneath her. She sensed the restrained power in him and for the first time, Tabitha hesitated.
    “Are you suddenly afraid of me, Tabby?” he demanded softly, not trying to force her to complete the union. “You know I won’t hurt you. Come close and make sweet love to me, little cat.”
    Then, his hands grasping the satiny contours of her thighs, he eased her down. Tabitha gasped as he filled her slowly and completely with his hardness. The shock of the union was unexpected. Her nails dug into his arms as she braced herself against the heavy impact he had made on her body.
    As if he understood that she needed a moment to adjust to him, Dev held himself still beneath her, his hand soothing and coaxing on her thighs. She heard the fiery string of sensual words that he uttered in a dark, persuasive voice, and the combination of his tone and his touch made her body relax once more.
    “That’s it, honey,” he growled as she slowly returned to the erotically reckless state she had been in only a moment earlier. “That’s my tabby cat. Come and purr for me, sweetheart. Don’t be afraid of me. You see how well we fit together? I would never hurt you. Just relax and love me. Let me lose myself in
