his T-shirt, yanking it up, and he felt soft fingers dance up his spine. What happened to taking it slow? He pulled back momentarily, just enough to drag his T-shirt over his head, and she used the separation to wriggle out of her own top.
He paused, wanting to savor the moment. Her breasts were small and soft, the nipples a beautiful shade of rose. Perfect . His mouth dry, he skated his knuckles down the side of her left breast and watched as the nipple firmed to his touch.
Lillian’s breathing hitched, and he smiled when she dug her hands into his bare shoulders. He repeated the gesture with her right breast, skimming the gentle curve and drawing another gasp. So sensitive . Unable to resist, he dropped his head and closed his mouth around one swollen bud. She arched her back and scraped her nails across his skin, making his wolf growl with delight. He could smell her arousal, her musk filling the bedroom. Holding back would be a problem. With every second that passed, his need for her shot higher, a hunger that roared inside him.
An appetite that only she could satisfy.
Chapter 30
There were probably a dozen reasons why Lillian shouldn’t be having sex with Jake, but in that moment, with his mouth teasing and torturing her nipples, she didn’t care. The only thing that she cared about was getting him inside her, as soon as humanly possible. Her mind spun in circles as he licked and suckled, but when he rasped his teeth along the edge of her breast she focused.
“Condom,” she cried, finding her voice, albeit as a squeak. “Do you have one? If you haven’t, there are some in my bag.”
He released her nipple and blew across the damp flesh. It made her tingle all over. “I think I have some in the bathroom”
She didn’t want to let go of him for even a minute. “Why don’t you keep them in the bedside cabinet like everyone else?”
His eyes seemed to glow in the soft lighting. “Perhaps, Cariad , because I haven’t brought a woman back to my bed before.” He stole her surprised reply with a kiss that seriously affected her ability to think. She clutched at him, but he slipped free and strode into an adjoining room. She took the opportunity to ogle his firm butt, nicely displayed in tight jeans, and the broad expanse of rippling muscle across his wide shoulders.
The front view of him, shirtless, was equally breathtaking. A light dusting of dark hair arrowed down into his jeans, leading her focus to the impressive bulge. He paused in the doorway, a satisfied smile on his face and flicked at the top button of his jeans. Lillian swallowed and then met his stare. Pure predator. And she was the quarry. He stalked back to the bed, eating her up with his eyes.
“Take off your pants, Cariad .” His voice sounded more husky than before, as though he was losing the veneer of civilization. As though she was releasing the animal in him. She matched his grin with one of her own and tucked her thumbs inside the waistband, playing with the top of her pajama pants, but not taking them off.
He growled, a low, resonant sound that vibrated through her senses. How far could she push him? She pulled at the pants, inching them down her legs, a little at a time. He rumbled again. She could see his dick straining at his zipper. Still she teased him. Another inch. They had barely reached the top of her thighs when he pounced.

Dear God, had she no idea what a thin grasp he held onto his control? That daring smile, the cheeky grin as she toyed with her pajamas … she had a thing or two to learn about playing with an Alpha.
He pinned her to the bed and caught her hands easily with one of his own. “ Cariad ,” he murmured, nuzzling her throat, “are you trying to drive me insane?”
She arched her neck, stretching up to him, but he leaned back and out of reach. “When I tell you to do something, I expect you to do it.” He nipped her earlobe and then licked the sting away.
She squirmed beneath him, a teasing
