by T. J. Finn
“I want you too Finn.”
Finn’s smile wasn’t big but it still caused a hitch in her throat. He dropped his head and captured her lips in a deep, sensual kiss that she felt clear to her toes. He rocked his hips and she felt his hard shaft pressing against her hip and was sure he could feel her heat through her sweatpants.
Finn’s lips moved from hers as he trailed kisses across her cheek and down to her neck, nipping at the skin, leaving a trail of fire behind. Running his tongue across her skin, he nipped at a sensitive spot between her neck and shoulder, sending a cascade of goosebumps over her skin. She slipped her hands beneath his shirt, her fingers digging into the muscles of his back. He was hard and lean and hers for right now.
Cold air engulfed Claire as he suddenly sat up, his eyes dark and heated tinged in gold, as he looked down at her. He grabbed the hem of her sweatshirt and before she knew what he was doing, he’d swept it off her, tossing it aside, then unclasped her bra, pushing each side away. Suddenly feeling shy, she went to cover herself but he caught her wrists, and stared down at her. “Don’t hide yourself from me Claire. I plan to devour every inch of you and I’m starting here.”
Finn caressed her full, round breasts, his hand molding and reshaping them then tweaked the pink-tipped peaks. Licking his lips, he moved down her body until he captured one hardened nipple between his teeth. His tongue swirled around it, then sucked before swirling his around again. Claire felt each tug of his teeth, heat shooting like a bullet straight to her core. She didn’t know if a woman could have an orgasm just by a man suckling her breasts but she could feel a burst of pleasure as her body tightened, aching for more.
Letting go of one nipple with a soft pop, Finn moved to the other one, showing it as much if not more attention. She spread her knees allowing him to settle against her again as she arched into the attention his mouth was giving to her nipple.
Finn gave one final nip to one breast before he started to kiss down her body. She shivered when he scraped his teeth along her skin, nipping and kissing down to her stomach. His tongue swirled around her belly button, dipping into it then circling around it again. Claire had never thought the belly button was an erogenous zone but boy was she mistaken. He slowly ran his tongue around it and she hissed, arching her hips. She felt him chuckle against her skin before he moved his mouth lower.
When Claire felt him stop kissing, she raised her head and found him watching her. A wicked grin spread across his lips and he hooked his fingers into her sweats and panties. “I’m going to taste you Claire. I can smell you and it's driving me crazy. I’m going to lap up every bit of your sweet honey until you scream and then I’m going to do it again.”
Claire felt him tug and she lifted her hips then saw her sweatpants and panties join her shirt laying on the floor. He sat back on his knees a moment and took her in. Again she tried to cover herself but his look had her going still. The look in his eyes could only be described as hunger and it was hot as hell, causing a tremor to ripple through her body. She’d never had anyone look at her like that.
Finn positioned himself between her legs, spreading her knees wide to fit his broad shoulders. He ran one finger down her wet, swollen folds, gently opening her, then moved his finger up to circle and press against her hard, sensitive clit. “You are so beautiful Claire.”
Claire lifted her head and gave him a shaky smile before she dropped back to the floor, moaning when his tongue replaced his finger. He feasted on her then, his tongue lapping at her wetness as it pressed and circled the hardened nub. She felt, rather than heard, the low growl he made when his tongue dipped inside her, swirling around then moved back up to her clit.
“God you are so wet Claire. Wet for me.”
“Yes.” Claire’s voice was breathy as she writhed on the floor under his expert touch. “Please Finn.”
Claire trembled, her fingers digging into his hair and her hips arching into him until he put one hand on her stomach to keep her still. Pleasure washed over her as her blood ran hot while liquid heat flooded Finn’s tongue. Her body thrummed as she tugged at his hair, her moans getting louder, her breath coming in pants.
“Come for me Claire. I want to taste all of you.”
Finn dropped his head and lapped at her cream, then ran his finger through her velvet soft folds again, circling her wet, slick entrance before dipping his finger inside her. She moaned at the intrusion then gasped as he added another finger. He hooked his fingers and found the tiny little bundle of nerves inside her while his mouth found her engorged bud again. As he thrust his fingers inside her, brushing against those nerves over and over as he sucked hard on her clit.
Claire’s cries filled the cabin, her hips thrusting up off the floor. He pushed her back down and continued to lick, suck and fuck her with his fingers. She was a bundle of sensations, her body tightening then exploding under his expert touch.
Claire wasn’t sure she could take anymore when he lifted his head and crawled up her body. She was breathing hard, feeling like she’d just run a marathon, when she opened her eyes and looked up at him. The satisfaction on his face made her laugh softly. “You are quite pleased with yourself aren’t you Finn.”
The grin Finn gave her was heart-stopping. “Damn straight I am.” He kissed her then and she could taste herself on his lips. “I could feast on you all day. You taste amazing.”
Claire’s cheeks warmed as kissed him again while tugging at his clothes. “I’m laying here naked and you still have your clothes on. I didn’t think that’s quite fair.”
A wicked light came into Finn’s eyes. Then, moving quickly, he stood and she watched him undressed. His body was amazing, lean firm and gorgeous. His chest was broad with a spattering of hair and well muscled. She’d never seen a true six pack before and she licked her lips when she saw his hard abs and the little bit of hair that trailed lower.
Claire’s eyes moved over him and she heard him groan when her heated gaze found his hard erection, seemingly straining and reaching out to her. He leaned down and took her hand, pulling her up to him, and kissed her. “Bedroom now Claire. The things I want to do to you deserve to be done in a bed.”
Claire couldn’t help her light laugh as he plucked her up like she was light as a feather and hauled her off to her bedroom. When they stepped into the chilly room, she snapped her fingers and a fire roared to life in the fireplace, it’s heat filling the room. He turned his head to her with a raised eyebrow. “Nice trick.”
Claire gave him a playful grin. “That’s not my only trick, trust me.”
Finn growled low and tossed her onto her bed. He stood at the edge of the bed as she bounced Her laugh however, died slowly on her lips at his look. “What is it Finn?”
“It just dawned on me that I don’t have any protection Claire.” They looked at each other a few moments before she spoke.
“I’ve only had sex with one man and that was about a year ago and I’m on the pill.”
The corner of Finn’s mouth tilted up. “Only one? ” She nodded. “Being a shifter I don’t get STDs.”
Claire smiled the sexiest smile. “I know.”
Chapter 8 - Finn
Finn’s skin was on fire from the way Claire’s heated eyes were roaming over his body. He was impossibly hard by the time her gaze moved down his chest to his cock. It strained toward her as if it had a mind of its own and knew where paradise lay. Her eyes met his and a slow, seductive smile spread across her lips
“You are the sexiest man I have ever seen Finn.” Claire’s hoarse voice held a slight tremor as if she found speaking difficult.
Finn’s look was serious as he fell to the bed, moving toward her as she moved further back toward the headboard. She lay back on the pillows and he moved over her, his body covering hers. He looked down at her, his expression serious. “I don’t know if that is a compliment or not. You’ve only been with one other man. So unless you've seen hundreds of naked men…” He let his voice trail off as her lips twitched.
“Touché Finn. “ Claire reached up to run her hands over his hard, muscled chest then over his arms and up to his neck. Wrapping her arms around his neck she pulled his head down until she brushed her lips over his. “I need you Finn.”
Finn’s breath hitched at her throaty confession. He’d never been with a woman like Claire before, curious and bold yet still shy and tentative when she touched him. He captured her lips in a deep sensual wet kiss, devouring her whole mouth as his tongue swept past her lips to brush up against hers. He swallowed her whimper before moving from her lips to nip and kiss his way across her jaw to her neck.
Her skin was silky soft as it heated from his touch. He scraped his teeth along the delicate skin of her neck, as his wolf stirred. The word mate echoed in his mind again and he pushed both the word and his wolf aside. His wolf wanted to claim Claire right then and there and it took as his willpower to push the animal down. This was not a mating. This was sex. That simple. But even as he said the words he wondered briefly if he was trying to convince himself or his wolf.
Finn lifted his head and looked down at her, her lips swollen and her eyes heavy and heated. Brushing his lips over hers he leaned down to whisper hoarsely in her ear. “Open for me Claire.”
She trembled at his voice in her ear and she opened her knees wider allowing him to settle between her silky thighs. His hard cock pressed at her entrance and she rocked her hips against him, letting just the tip slide in. "Nice and slow baby. Let your body adjust to me.”
Claire caught her bottom lip between her teeth and nodded. He could feel her heart beating hard against her chest and her muscles were tense. He rocked his hips, slipping a little further into her tight sheath, letting her body stretch and adjust to his girth. Finn raised up on his arms and thrust again, their collective moans filling room as he slid the rest of the way in.
“God baby you’re so tight. I’m not sure how long I can last.” The words sounded tortured, even to his ears. He started to move, pulling out and slowly thrusting back inside her.
Claire’s hands moved up his arms, her fingers digging into his muscles, urging him on. “Please Finn. I need…”
He kissed her then lifted his head. “I know you need baby.” He slid out again but this time he thrust hard and fast, filling her completely. Her moan was loud and she arched her body to meet his next thrust. Soon he set up a steady rhythm alternating between hard and slow going as deep as he could.
Claire arched her body rocking her hips against him, meeting him thrust for thrust. He ground his pelvis against her with each thrust, pressing and rubbing against her already sensitive swollen clit. He angled his hips when he slid into so that his hard cock rubbed against the tiny bundle of nerves deep inside. The combination had her rushing toward the edge of an abyss she couldn’t remember ever being near.
Finn felt her muscles tighten, her body squeezing him and he started moving faster, pulling out and slamming into her harder and faster each time. He loved the little noises she was making each time he hit her g-spot, the mewing noises she made when he rocked his hips so that he rubbed against her clit. He had a momentary thought that he’d found home, the place where he belonged before her fingers dug further into his arms and she cried out his name as her body exploded around him.
Claire’s orgasm triggered and he thrust one more time, sliding so far into her that he was certain he had touched her heart then threw his back and roared out his own released. He continued to rock into her until he was spent then collapsed on top of her, resting his head against her forehead. They both took a moment, their bodies trembling, riding out the tiny little explosions that were still washing over them, slowly coming back down to earth.
Finn opened his eyes and lifted his head to look down her until she opened her own eyes. They both smiled then she laughed softly. “Wow.”
Wow was right Finn thought. He’d never experienced something so simple that rocked his entire world. No woman had felt like Claire did as she held him, his body nestled against hers as if they’d been made for each other. His wolf stirred again but he pushed him back down. He didn’t want to ruin the moment by over thinking it.
He pulled out of her and rolled to her side, pulling her close and tucking her curves against his body. They lay in silence for a moment, both lost in their thoughts as Claire lay her hand on his chest, making little circles in the soft hair with her fingers.
Chapter 9 - Claire
Claire sat up, shielding her eyes from the bright sun shining into her bedroom window. It had finally stopped snowing. A part of her was sad. Yesterday had been the best of her life. Finn had been demanding in bed but fun and oh so very attentive. She looked beside her where he slept peacefully, reaching out to brush his hair off his forehead. His eyes fluttered opened and she smiled. “Good morning.”
Finn grunted and moved closer to her, wrapping his arm around her waist and laying his head in her lap. “You’re not much of a morning person are you?”
“Nope unless I have a sexy as hell redhead sleeping next to me, but then I get grumpy again when she’s trying to sneak out of bed and leaving me alone.”
Claire laughed when he tugged her down to him, kissing her. He tightened his hold on her and rolled to his back until she was straddling him. “You’re gorgeous in the mornings.”
A soft flush crept across Claire’s cheeks as she shook her head, leaning down to kiss him. “I know differently but thank you.” She kissed him then raised her head. “It stopped snowing during the night and the sun is out. I think we should get up and dig ourselves out so we can get going.”
Finn growled low and cupped the back of her neck, pulling down for another kiss. He nipped at her bottom lip until she parted her lips, allowing him to delve in. His tongue swept into her hungry mouth, gliding across her own tongue. The kiss itself was warm and wet causing Claire to sigh softly, relaxing on top of him. His hand moved down her back and over her bare ass as she became acutely aware of how hard he was getting beneath her.
Finn suddenly rolled them over until she was looking up at him. With a thrust his hips, he sank into the warm, slick cleft between her legs. Her body clamped around him, while he started moving in long slow thrusts, almost pulling out then burying himself deeper once more. They had made love on and off since yesterday afternoon and every time seemed different to her. But this, the way he was moving, his pelvis pressing against the swollen bud, was pure torture and yet, she was loving every moment of it.
It didn’t take long before Claire could feel the familiar tightening of her muscles, the quivering of her stomach and every nerve ending firing at once. This time, instead of the explosive release she’d had before, this one was slow, washing over her in slow waves of ecstasy. Felt him stiffen, a low primal growl echoed in his chest as he joined her in her orgasm.
Finn lay his head on her forehead, a smile playing at his lips, then kissed her. Lifting his head, he slid out of her, rolled over and sat up, looking at her over his shoulder. “Get up woman, we’re burning daylight.”
Claire laughed then raced him to the bathroom. After a brief playful struggle for power, they decided to take a shower together. The first time they’d done this they had run out of hot water, and had finished on the bathroom floor. This time, however, they actually showered and managed to dry off and get dressed without another round of sex.
While Claire made breakfast, Finn went out to her garage and started the snow blower she’d told she had. He’d been so cute when he smiled and rubbed his hands together, making her laugh as he headed outside. When she heard the snow blower going she was mixing the batter for pancakes, smelling the coffee that he’d made before he’d went outside. He’d declared that she was not allowed to make any more coffee for him.
Finishing the pancakes, Claire put them in the oven to keep warm, then went and packed her bag. She wouldn’t need much since eventually they’d be heading to her hometown. By the time she packed and brought the bag out of the bedroom, Finn was walk
ing through the door, stomping his feet to get all the snow off them.
“All set to go?” Claire nodded and walked into the kitchen to take the pancakes out.
“Did the jeep start ok?”
“Without an issue. Very nice by the way. I love Rubicons.” Finn sat down and Claire smiled as she set some pancakes in front of him. I inherited some money when my grandmother passed away. It's how I bought this place and the jeep.”
Finn shoveled a fork full of pancakes into his mouth. “Can I drive it?”
Claire laughed and shook her head. “Don’t eat with your mouth full and no. No one drives Fred but me. He’s very persnickety and only responds well to a woman’s touch.”
Finn’s eyes heated as he looked at her. “I know how he feels.” Claire laughed nervously and shook her head, her cheeks growing pink again.
They finished their breakfast and Finn helped Claire close up her cabin before heading to the jeep. The lane that led from her cabin to the main road was snow-packed but Claire had seen worse. She knew, as long as the snow wasn’t over the tires completely, Fred would make it through. They strapped in and she took off, slowly, pushing her way through the snow. There were several spots that they got a little stuck in, but it didn’t take them too long to finally hit the main highway and, like she’d predicted, it was clear.
“So, we’re going to Durango?” Claire turned and confirmed with Finn as he looked up and down the highway.
“I think that’s the best place to start, don’t you?”
Claire nodded and turned south. Leaning over she flipped on the radio and Luke Bryan’s voice filled the jeep. Pulling her cell phone out of her pocket, she handed it to him. “We should have service any time.” Finn looked over at her, taking the phone and smiled before turning back to look ahead at the road. “There’s a small gas station and country store in Creede about an hour away. I’ll stop there for gas and something to drink. I’m sure we’ll have service there. I always have in the past.”
