True: 11 (New Species)
Page 37
He grinned as he strolled into the room. “You’re faster.”
“That’s because you keep tossing pillows at me. I swear I’m going to hide every single one in the house.”
He grabbed the bottom of his shirt, tore it up over his head and dropped it on the floor. “I am serious about training you. I swear to always protect you but I’ve learned that it’s better if you can fight just in case I’m ever drugged again.”
“Homeland is safe. The catacombs have been mapped and the exterior entrances sealed off with alarm sensors around every perimeter. We’ll know immediately if they are ever messed with. Every grate has been welded shut with more alarms. I think you guys went overboard.”
“There’s no such thing when our mates’ safety is at stake.”
She rolled over and sat up as he bent, tearing off his boots. “Whatcha doing?”
“Getting naked.”
“I like that.” She scooted to the edge of the bed. “I’m never going to get tired of watching you take off your clothes.”
He chuckled as he straightened, opening the front of his pants. “You’re overdressed.”
“For what?” She batted her eyelashes. “Do you have something in mind? Maybe a bath? A shower?”
He shoved down his pants and approached the bed. The way he stalked closer was sexy and the fact that he was sporting a full erection was a bonus. That was another thing she’d never get tired of looking at. He reached her and growled.
“You’re still dressed.”
“That’s because once we start kissing I’ll forget about everything else. I have a few questions.”
He frowned. “Justice said we could keep the house. We’re mates and need the room. The dorm is not suitable for mates.”
“I knew that. Jessie came over while you were gone. I really like her. She brought donuts.”
“I love sweets.” He leaned in, pushing her onto her back. “I know something that is even better. You.” He kissed her neck as he pinned her down. “And I know what I want to eat. You.”
Jeanie laughed, her fingers sliding into his hair. “I’m serious.”
“Me too.” He raised his head, holding her gaze.
“Did they find her?”
His expression changed and she regretted asking. “Not yet. Boris has refused to reveal the Gift’s location and believe me, Darkness was persuasive.”
“Boris has got nothing to lose except his life. He’s such a mean asshole.”
“He’ll never be free again.”
“They transferred him to Fuller?” She wasn’t sure that was such a good idea, considering he used to be the warden.
“No. Darkness hasn’t used any of his more dangerous interrogation methods yet. Boris is too soft and Darkness doesn’t want to risk killing him before he gets what we need. But he won’t give up until he gets his answers or Boris dies.”
“Good.” She didn’t feel a bit of guilt.
True abruptly rolled, yanking her on top of him. “Do you want me to drive you to where he is being kept and hand you a chair to take into his cell and see what you can get out of him? You were fierce.”
She sat up, straddling him. “That’s not funny.”
He sat up, too, pulling her against him. “I’m sorry.” One hand stroked down her spine. “You were so sexy though. I just didn’t like your foot on his dick. I’m the only male you should touch there.”
She shook her head, stroking the sides of his face. “Do you have a foot fetish I didn’t know about?” She grinned.
He growled. “Now, that’s not funny. I like how gentle you are when you touch me.”
She scooted back a little and let go of his face to reach between them with both hands. “Like this?” Her fingers wrapped around the base of his cock, her thumbs teasing the crown. “You’re definitely a two-hander. Or do you prefer my mouth and tongue down there?”
“You know I don’t have much control when you do that.”
“I know.” She grinned. “Too bad I’m still dressed.”
“So take your clothes off or I will do it for you.”
“You’ll tear them.” She released him, scooted off his lap and started undressing. “I’m kind of limited on the stuff I have until my things from my apartment arrive.”
“Are you complaining?”
“No.”
“I didn’t think so.” He stretched out on his back and grinned while she removed her clothes.
She crawled up his body and sat on his thighs. “You want me to learn self-defense but you need to learn more control.”
“I want you too bad, Jeanie. Now isn’t the time to use your mouth on me. I almost lost you again yesterday.”
“I’m fine.”
True’s gaze ran down her body, that hungry look in his eyes making her hot. “You’re more than fine. You’re perfect. You make my blood boil and you make me so hard I hurt for you.”
Jeanie climbed further up his body and leaned over to run her tongue over his bottom lip. “I can do something about that.” She reached between them and curled her fingers around his erection again. She shifted her hips and eased down until both of them groaned as their bodies joined. True gripped her hips.
Their gazes met. “You make me whole, Jeanie.”
She kissed True. “You make me whole too.”
True groaned as Jeanie began to slowly rock her hips. “You’re heaven.”
Jeanie chuckled. “What a pair. You think I’m heaven and I think you’re a god.”
“God, huh?” His hands lowered to firmly grab her ass as he ground his hips upward, sinking into her deeper.
“A sex god.”
True laughed. “I try for you, Jeanie.”
“Try by moving. You’re torturing me here.” She bucked her hips.
He thrust up. Jeanie gripped his shoulders and threw her head back. “Succeeding,” she moaned. “Right there. Faster.”
“So demanding.” He rolled and pinned her under him. “I aim to please.”
“You’re the best mate ever.”
“So are you. Now hold on tight.”
“Always.”
About Laurann Dohner
I’m a full-time “in-house supervisor” (sounds much better than plain ol’ housewife), mother and writer. I’m addicted to caramel iced coffee, the occasional candy bar (or two) and trying to get at least five hours of sleep at night.
I love to write all kinds of stories. I think the best part about writing is the fact that real life is always uncertain, always tossing things at us that we have no control over, but when you write, you can make sure there’s always a happy ending. I love that about writing. I love to sit down at my computer desk, put on my headphones and listen to loud music to block out the world around me, so I can create worlds in front of me.
