Lion Man's Captive, Kaitlyn O'Connor [top fiction books of all time .txt] 📗

sobs. “Iwas so-o-o scared! And the bastard got my peaches!” She shuddered,remembering the thing had been right on top of her when she’ddiscovered it. He could have chomped her whole and she wouldn’teven have known what was happening until …!

Aidan’s hands tightened on her. Whenshe felt them slacken, she gripped him frantically, unable to thinkbeyond staying as close to him for protection as she could get.They wrestled, briefly, with their conflicting goals and then Aidanscooped her up.

Anya clung to him desperately, cryingand shaking as she struggled with the horrifying images flashingthrough her mind. She was aware of Aidan moving with her along acorridor, though. The sound of his boots on a hard surface echoedback too quickly for them to be moving through a room. And then sheheard a shish of sound and registered darkness then flickeringbluish lights. A few moments later she felt Aidan settle her on asurface that yielded to her weight. She tightened her grip on himwhen she thought he would let go. He seemed to debate briefly andthen he settled with her, molding her against hislength.

Relieved, comforted by his nearness andhis warmth, Anya felt the fear and tension slowly flow away andcalmness and gratitude take its place.

It felt completely right when his largehand settled on her back and slowly stroked downward to herbuttocks and then up again beneath the jacket.

Well, not completely.

She instantly recognized the prelude tosex and there was no internal debate of whether she should orshouldn’t, wanted to or didn’t want to. The warmth of his body andhis scent already enveloped her and both of those had produced asense of safety and comfort and pleasure. Her body instantlyresponded to his touch in a very positive way, her senses leapingto high alert and almost crackling with the tension as it waitedfor the expected input. Warmth flowed over and through her, herheart rate picking up just enough to flush her skin with blood andheighten her receptors.

Her mind wasn’t totally insync.

The tiny doubt that flickered along hernerve endings and then along the pathways of her mind wasn’t muchmore significant than the annoyance of a gnat and yet it couldn’tbe completely ignored. Her determination to ignore it kept it atstalemate, however, still teasing but not growing any morepronounced—and that was the way she wanted it.

Responding to the stroke of his hand,she lifted her head and nuzzled a path to his throat.

His response was charmingly swift. Hiscock leapt to attention and stiffened so hard it bruised her hipwhen he surged against her.

She remedied that situation by shiftingso that the next time he hunched her the bruising log was againsther pubic bone and that felt just lovely.

The annoying gnat wouldn’t go awaycompletely, though, and it unfurled in her mind just as Aidanshifted to cover her mouth with his why the damned thing was sodetermined to blow her bliss.

It wasn’t right—nothingwas, no matter how right it felt. He might feel as wonderfullyhuman as any other man that had ever touchedher—better thanany that had ever touched her before. He might be making all theright moves and reacting and behaving just as she was usedto.

But he wasn’t human.

She managed to sort through that muchbefore Aidan settled his mouth on hers. The first sweep of histongue along her lips and then her tongue completely blew her mind,though, knocked the last thought right out of her head. She caughtfire, went up in a conflagration. It was like downing a shot of 180proof alcohol—straight up.

From there she sank deeper and deeperunder his spell, beguiled by the promise of more and more pleasurewith a final, explosive kick at the end to boost herheavenward.

She didn’t doubt that would happen. Histouch was like magic—electric, creating sizzling trails along hernerve endings. And all roads led to the love canal. That areaheated up so fast she was ready to cum long before he decided shewas ready to be penetrated. He continued to explore her with hishands and lips until she was tugging at him in silentdemand.

Finally, he seemed to get the message.She heard the tearing sound of the closure of his suit as he partedit. He pulled away slightly and she felt his movements as heshucked the trousers and boots. He separated the sides of thejacket she’d been wearing and dove for her breasts while she wasstill trying to struggle out of it. She discarded the idea ofundressing and curled her arms around his head and shoulders as hefinessed first one breast and then the other.

Shockwaves of pleasure rolled throughher as he plucked and suckled at her nipples. She’d gasped andpanted until her mouth and throat felt like cotton.

Enough foreplay! I’m dyinghere, she thought! Do it, damn it!

Almost as if he’d read her mind, hemoved into position. Anya lifted her legs and curled them aroundhim, trying to tighten them and bring him down to her.

He resisted the pull, cupping her facein one hand. “Ah-na.”

“Mmm?” she responded,pulling at him.

“Open your eyes,Ah-na,” he said harshly.“I’m not going to let you pretend I’m someone …or something else.”

Naturally enough since he was speakingin his own language, she didn’t understand anything but her name,but there was something about the tone that penetrated herdetermination to stay sealed in the cocoon of pleasure he’dcreated. She slitted her eyes and looked at him a littleresentfully. He released his grip on her jaw. Meeting her gaze, heslowly moved closer until his lips were hovering just abovehers.

It wasn’t until he touched his lips tohers and then sank deeply, carrying her away on a fresh, hot tideof desire, that she realized what he’d been about.

He wasn’t leaving her any room topretend she was too swept up in the moment to realize she wasfucking an alien!

It didn’t matter … at themoment!!

She was too far gone.

She was so close to the edge that shebegan to quake with imminent release almost as soon as he beganattempting penetration. Attempting because she hadn’t imagined thesize of that ‘club’ he was swinging! He’d barely managed a handfulof strokes when she went off like a rocket. Fortunately, he seemedto know she needed fast and hard to get the full effect.
