Love Bites (Bitten Book 4) by C.C. Wood Page B

her. Until my scent was so deeply imprinted on her that she craved it as much as I craved hers.
    Ricki didn’t hesitate. She buried her hands in my hair, fisting them tightly, and tugged. I fucking loved it when she did that, as though she couldn’t stop herself, and she did it almost every time I kissed her.
    Groaning, I nearly ripped her t-shirt in half as I tugged it over her head. The bra she wore beneath it was history before the shirt even hit the floor. I was beyond thinking, beyond speaking. I tore my mouth from hers and dropped to my knees. I closed my lips around one of her nipples and tugged it lightly with my teeth.
    She gasped, arching her back and yanking my hair harder. My fingers curved into the waistband of her pants. When I jerked them down, she lost her balance with a cry. I caught her by the hips and shoulders and lowered her onto the floor. All that she wore was a lacy blue thong, but not for long because I shredded it.
    Ricki started to unbutton my shirt, but I was too impatient to wait. I grabbed her wrists. “Don’t.” Her face filled with hurt and I realized how harsh I sounded. I was so turned on I could barely think straight, much less form a coherent sentence, but I forced myself to focus. “Please, Ricki. If you touch me, I’ll lose it and I’m afraid I’ll hurt you. Understand?”
    She nodded.
    I placed her palms flat on the floor next to her hips. “Don’t move your hands,” I instructed.
    A growl rose in my throat when she licked her lips and nodded again. I took a deep breath, struggling to control the desire surging in my blood. She wasn’t a she-wolf. I could hurt her if I jumped her the way I wanted to.
    My eyes on hers, I slowly lowered my head, watching her as she watched me. Then I slid the flat of my tongue across her nipple in a single long stroke. She moaned, her back arching, as I did the same to her other breast. Then I latched on to the delicate skin on the inner curve and sucked hard. I was going to leave my marks all over her. The ones I’d left weeks ago had faded and I wanted to replace them. When these began to disappear, I’d do it again and again, so that she was never without reminders of what I could do to her body.
    My teeth scraped the silky skin of her belly and she gasped, shivering beneath me. Our eyes locked once again as I worked my way down her torso. I knew she would be wet for me. Wet and sweet, and my mouth watered at the thought of tasting her again. I cupped her smooth thighs and spread them wide. Without breaking eye contact, I lowered my mouth and licked her clit as I’d licked her nipples.
    Ricki cried out, her hips bucking as I did it again and again. When her head fell back, I closed my eyes and focused on driving her as out of her mind as I felt. I sealed my lips around her clit and suckled as I tormented it with my tongue. After her first orgasm, I didn’t ease up. I wanted more. I wanted everything. She was mine and I wanted her to have no doubts about that.
    She was drenched when I thrust two fingers into the tight clasp of her body. Her hips moved against my mouth as I pressed them against the front wall of her pussy, searching for the angle that I knew would drive her up to that peak again. Ricki moaned my name as I ruthlessly used my hands and mouth to wring another orgasm out of her. And another.
    It wasn’t until she was begging me to stop that I relented. She cried out when I released her clit and sank my teeth into her inner thigh just hard enough to leave a mark.
    The fire in my blood was back, flaring hotter than before. I couldn’t wait. Getting to my knees, I tore at the zipper of my jeans as I unfastened them and pushed them down just far enough to free my cock. Hooking her knees over my forearms, I pressed my hips forward, rubbing the length of my cock against her pussy. She was so wet from my mouth and three orgasms that I slid balls deep with one thrust.
    “Calder!”
    Her muscles twitched around me, tightening and
