Tiger (New Species, Book Seven)

by Laurann Dohner

  “Yes,” she urged.

  He pressed against her and his eyes closed. Her body resisted taking him at first but she rolled her hips slowly until the thick crown of his cock eased through. Tiger’s lips parted, a look of near pain tensed his features and he growled as he slowly entered her. She was so wet it helped ease him inside and the pleasure of being filled and stretched was exquisite to Zandy.

  “Oh god,” she moaned.

  Tiger’s eyes opened. “Tell me if I hurt you. You’re so tight.”

  She rolled her hips again and wrapped her legs tighter around his waist as she adjusted them until her heels pressed into his firm ass. She used them to pull tighter against him and his cock sank deeper.

  “You feel so good.”

  His arms pinned her under him where he braced his weight with his elbows and his fingers curved under her shoulders to grip her. He withdrew a little and slid back in, making her take more of him. She couldn’t look away from his eyes staring into hers. They were the most beautiful thing in the world and nothing had ever felt better than having him slowly fuck her.

  “Faster,” she urged once her body adjusted to him after he’d fully worked his entire shaft inside her pussy. “Please?”

  He lowered his head and tried to kiss her but she turned her head to the side to bare her throat instead. “I’m afraid I’ll bite you. It is too good. I’m going to come.”

  His mouth found the line of her throat and he kissed her there as he began to move faster, his strong body pinning her down. The feel of his muscles rippling almost sent her into climax. His cock hit a spot inside her that made her cry out and her nails dug in deeper. Sharp teeth clamped down on her skin and his hips bucked rapidly, fucking her hard and fast.

  Zandy threw back her head and cried out as pleasure tore through her. The climax was brutal as it spread through her body. Her vaginal muscles clamped down hard on his driving cock and her body seized from the intensity of it.

  Tiger released her from his teeth. The roar that came out of his mouth nearly deafened her. Heat shot inside her as he came. She could feel every jet of his semen filling her as his hips slowed to sharp, short jerks and he kept his cock buried deep inside her. Another climax hit, shocking her, and she lifted her head to muffle the scream she couldn’t hold back against his chest. She was afraid he’d mistake it for pain. Her mouth opened on his smooth skin.

  Tiger’s head fell forward and his weight pushed her back flat. She was shocked that she’d bitten him. She had been afraid she would. He panted against her skin when he finally stopped fucking her. Zandy eased her grip and loosened the hold of her legs, which were still wrapped around his hips, as her body began to recover and relax. A sense of deep satisfaction filled her and she smiled. She didn’t even care that Tiger roared like a lion when he came. It sounded scary but it was a real turn-on.

  Chapter Four

  The sounds of the woods penetrated finally to Zandy. The stream bubbled and the wind not only sent a gentle breeze along their heated skin but made the trees rustle above them. Her eyes opened and she stared through the branches full of leaves at the pretty blue sky with clouds.

  Tiger hadn’t moved off her and seemed content to keep their bodies joined while he kept her pinned under him. She could breathe fine but his weight was heavy enough to keep her exactly where he wanted her. There was zero motivation on her part to move though.

  She discovered, in the aftermath of the best sex she’d ever had, that Tiger’s cock still felt incredibly hard and big inside her. She’d be worried he hadn’t come if she hadn’t felt him do it and heard his roar of completion. Her ears still rang a little from that roar of his.

  Lips brushed her skin. “Did I hurt you?”

  A smile curved her lips. “Nope. Wow. That was amazing.”

  His body tensed for a split second before he relaxed again. “It was.”

  Her hands moved, roaming down the broad expanse of his back, and loved the feel of his smooth, firm skin. It was something she could get used to and never tire of. Her hands trailed down to the curve of his ass before making their way upward to finger his silky hair.

  “That feels good.”

  “For both of us,” she agreed. “I really like touching you.”

  “You can do that as much as you like, anywhere on me.” He laughed and shifted so he could look down at her. She had to release him to focus and peer into his eyes. They were so stunning. She felt as though she could stare into them forever. His hands released her shoulders and one of them brushed her hair off the side of her face. His touch was tender.

  “You are so beautiful right now. Your lips are swollen from my kisses and your eyes are such a pretty shade of green. They remind me of a beautiful meadow when I look into them.”

  She grinned. “You’re the beautiful one. Trust me. You’re the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. You’re like a living sculpture of the perfect man.”

  He grinned. “You mean an angel?”

  She laughed. “You will never let me live that one down, will you?”

  He shook his head, smiling. “No. I’m flattered. I’ve been called a lot of names but never one so nice.”

  She just smiled at him.

  “Did I hurt you at all? Tell me if I have. You’re small and I was rough.”

  She shook her head. “No. Did I hurt you? Your back maybe? Your chest? I bit you a little. I don’t see any blood though.” She glanced at the red spot and winced. She could see teeth marks. “I’m sorry.”

  He grinned. “It felt good. I was just afraid I may have been too rough with you. You make me lose my control.”

  “Thanks. I might have cut up your back with my nails.”

  He shrugged. “It was worth it if you did. You completely drained me.”

  She reached up and brushed his hair back. “I drained you?”

  He smiled. “You made me shoot so much of myself inside you that I don’t think there’s anything left. I almost passed out it felt so strong but I was afraid I’d crush you.” He paused. “I roared.” His surprise was clear.

  “Don’t tell me I’m the first one who ever made you do that,” she teased.

  He didn’t smile back and instead seemed disturbed a little when he frowned. “I have never lost so much of myself inside a female before or felt that strongly that I couldn’t hold back my instincts.”

  A little pride swelled inside her and she had to admit it felt good to know she’d affected him as much as he had her. They both had experienced some firsts. Then grim reality set in next. They’d had wild, passionate sex in the woods together but they didn’t really know each other. They probably had nothing else in common and they weren’t in a relationship.

  Men were different than women. She had two failed marriages in her wake to prove that fact. Saying vows with a man had meant everything to her but both husbands had broken them as easily as they had her heart. Sex and love were separate for men and she needed to remember that.

  He just wanted sex. Put on the big-girl panties. You wanted this too but don’t read anything into it. The mental pep talk helped her keep things in perspective. It saddened and depressed her but she’d have great memories.

  “I guess we should get dressed and go back to our cars before someone drives by and wonders where we are.”

  His gaze narrowed and his voice noticeably deepened. “You want to leave already?”

  “I, um, well, someone will see our cars and wonder where we are. They might even come looking for us.” The idea of being caught naked in the woods unsettled her. She never had trysts with strangers—he was her first. She liked to keep her sex life private. “I’d have to post bail,” she joked.

  “I closed the road. No one will know.”

  She stared up at him. “You did?”

  He smiled. “I turned over the asshole to officers at the gate and told them I wanted the road closed. I told them I would hunt the woods alone and see if anyone else was out here. No one will disturb us. I’m in charge a
nd they have to follow my orders.”

  She laughed. “That’s pretty cool. I guess it’s good to be in charge, huh?”

  “Very cool.” He shifted and eased his cock out of her body. “Come on.”

  Zandy released him and he rose to his feet. He was so muscular and perfect that she couldn’t resist staring at his body a little. The fact that he still had a major hard-on wasn’t lost on her either. He reached out to her.

  “Take my hands.”

  She put her hands in his and he helped her to her feet. He stepped backward, still holding her hands. He led her to the creek and into it. It was a warm, sunny afternoon but the water was a bit chilly. He kept hold of her until he stood waist-deep and she was up to the tips of her breasts. They instantly responded by tightening and she knew Tiger noticed when he grinned.

  “Come over here. There are some rocks.”

  They moved downstream about five feet and he suddenly sat on something hidden beneath the surface that made the water level with his nipples. He maneuvered her to sit on the mossy-feeling stone next to him. She relaxed and enjoyed the movement of the water around them.

  “This feels good since we got a little sweaty.”

  “I love to come here whenever I can. I enjoy cooling off before I stretch out naked on the rocks over there to dry in the sun.”

  It sounded so sensuous to Zandy that she followed the direction of his gaze to the smooth, flat boulders. She could almost imagine his naked body as he stretched out on his back with his arms up to use his hands to cushion the back of his head. Her attention returned to him and his body. The water made his nipples taut, hard tips of dusky temptation. She got the urge to taste.

  Oh hell, why not? She knew this would be the one and only time she found herself sitting in a creek with a super-sexy guy. Her tongue darted out to lick her lips before she turned into him and lowered her face. He gasped as her mouth latched on to him and he arched his back to give her easier access. One of her hands slid across his flat belly under the water while her other hand gripped his shoulder to keep her balance.

  His fingers slipped into her hair to encourage her. She shifted even closer to him, released his nipple and kissed her way to the other one. Loud purrs made his entire chest vibrate. Her hand lifted from his belly to his chest, to feel them better. She was amazed and aroused at the same time by his reaction.

  The hold on her hair tightened until he fisted it and tugged her away from sucking and teasing his nipple. She met his gaze for a split second before he lowered his head and his mouth took possession of hers. Firm, desire-hungry lips forced hers apart and his tongue explored and stroked, as if he wanted no doubt left in her mind that he wanted her again. She tried to lift her leg to climb on his lap but he suddenly broke the kiss to stare at her.

  “Hands and knees, right here, but turn around,” he snarled, his voice harsh.

  His stern tone didn’t scare her. She understood why he sounded half out of control since she wanted him more than her next breath. Letting go of him wasn’t easy since her hands loved the feel of him but she managed to do it. The rock they shared was similar to a ledge and she rose to her knees on it. The embankment directly behind them was a sharp incline covered with grass and clover.

  “Grab something,” he growled.

  Big hands gripped her hips and pushed her forward enough that her hands shot out to claw at the soft greenery when he bent her over and stood behind her. A knee bumped her thighs, she spread them apart, and suddenly Tiger curled his body over her back. One of his hands opened on the grass inches from her left one and he braced.

  His cock nudged against her pussy and he was entering her. He wrapped his free arm around her waist and anchored her firmly in front of him. Zandy moaned from the way he drove into her with one slow but forceful thrust of his hips. He made her take all of him without any hesitation. The feel of him inside her was wonderful and the new position felt even more amazing than him facing her had.

  His hold on her waist adjusted until his hand cupped her pussy from the front and located her clit. He pressed a finger against it. Tiger growled and withdrew almost totally from her body before he slammed into her hard and deep. Zandy cried out from the pleasure of it and he wrapped around her tighter as her fingers dug into the earth.

  Tiger pounded against her mercilessly as he rubbed her clit. Ecstasy swamped her. She couldn’t think. Nothing existed but his driving cock, hitting wonderful nerves that were drawing her dangerously close to climaxing. It felt so good it nearly hurt as he pounded against her ass harder, hammering her rapidly, and his purrs were loud enough that her body seemed to vibrate with his.

  “I could mount you until I die,” Tiger snarled.

  “Yes,” she cried out as he thrust into her even faster and harder.

  A snarl came from his throat. It brought the sex up another notch instead of frightening her. She felt his teeth clamp down on her shoulder and the sharp points of his fangs actually seemed to bite into her that time. It didn’t matter. The jolt of pain only took her closer to climax.

  “God, that feels good,” she panted. “I’m so close.”

  He snarled again and his teeth bit down harder on her shoulder as he continued to pound into her from behind while his finger strummed her clit. Zandy felt her body tense and she screamed his name as she came so hard she nearly blacked out.

  His teeth released her as pleasure tore through her entire body from her center outward. He roared as he came too with blasts of his release deep inside her body. She could feel him coming, the warm spread of his semen filling her as his hips slowed.

  Zandy panted, trying to catch her breath. The only thing keeping her from slumping sideways and sliding into the creek was Tiger’s hold. Her body totally felt boneless and limp as she basked in the afterglow of that bout of sex. It didn’t matter that her head had lowered and that her cheek rested against the ground. A smile curved her mouth when she realized she wouldn’t have cared if they were lying in mud.

  The feel of Tiger withdrawing his cock slowly from her pussy made her groan. She felt connected to him and her vaginal walls clamped down almost as if they were protesting the loss too, possibly trying to hold on to him a little longer. He backed away enough to take his weight off her back while his hold on her waist eased. Cold water chilled her overheated clit when his finger left it.

  He sat down and pulled her onto his lap sideways. Their gazes met and she smiled.

  “Did I say ‘wow’ before? I was wrong. Wow!”

  He nuzzled her head aside with his face and she thought he wanted to kiss her neck. He lowered his head instead and his hot tongue licked at her shoulder. It was a slightly strange sensation but she liked it. She felt a little sleepy and really loved being cradled on his lap. His tongue kept flicking at her shoulder, over and over, and curiosity prompted her to speak.

  “I’m not complaining, but why are you licking me?”

  His tongue stopped. “I bit you hard enough to break the skin this time. I’m cleaning your wound. It will be sore later and hurt.” He didn’t lift his head to look at her while he spoke. “I’m so sorry.”

  “Don’t worry about it.” It was odd that he’d bitten her but it didn’t hurt so it couldn’t be more than a scratch. She wasn’t alarmed over it. “Sex injuries happen sometimes and that was totally worth one. I don’t even feel it.” She laughed.

  He didn’t. “It’s going to hurt later when you warm from the cold water and the endorphins from sexual gratification subsides.” His voice deepened to a gruff tone. “It may scar. Damn. I didn’t mean to do it.” His tongue lapped at her again.

  She thought it was really cute how he’d put that. She’d never met a man who said “endorphins” but wisely didn’t laugh. She was afraid of hurting his feelings if he mistook her reason for finding humor in it. He was sweet and his concern touched her. It even made her fall a little in love with him.

  Don’t do that, she sternly ordered. It’s just sex. Don’t forget that. Her hu
mor vanished. “I’m okay.”

  His tongue stopped again. “I took you too rough. Are you sore or feeling no pain at all yet?”

  She pushed her head against his and he lifted his until their gazes met. The look of regret in his eyes almost broke her heart. So much for their perfect one-time tryst in the woods. Her head turned and she twisted her shoulder enough to see where he’d bitten her. There were two small puncture wounds on the top of her shoulder and she couldn’t see if there were more on the back side. A small amount of blood came from them but the skin wasn’t torn. It didn’t look too terrible and her gaze returned to his.

  “Don’t feel bad, okay? Honestly. I’m tougher than I look and that was pretty awesome. The sex and even the bite felt really good. I’m fine.” She smiled. “You didn’t break me.”

  He pulled her tighter against his chest and she found her cheek resting against the curve of his throat as he held her. She stared at the woods around them and figured he might be doing the same.

  “It’s really beautiful here.”

  “It is. Do you know what makes this place perfect?”

  “What?”

  “We’re here together.”

  Damn. I could totally fall in love with him. He sounded so sincere that she turned her head enough to see his face. He glanced down and honesty shone in those beautiful eyes of his. Correction, she amended, I am falling in love. Not good. Love at first sight or in our case, after having sex, is a mistake. He’s still a man, despite being so different. He’ll break my heart.

  He shifted his body, forcing her away from his chest. He glanced around and sighed. “The water is cold and I don’t want to risk getting you ill. Your body temperature doesn’t run as hot as mine, nor do you have my endurance. I need to warm you.”

  Tiger fought panic and confusion as he followed Zandy out of the water. He hovered close to her to make certain she didn’t fall and every protective instinct inside him demanded nothing less. His gaze lowered to her ass as she climbed up the embankment. She was rounded and soft, very different from a Species female. Her skin was so pale he could see the traces of blue veins on some parts of her body. It fascinated him.
