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
