Page 45 of Shifter and the Succubus (The Pack #1)

He opened the drawer and found it, handed it to her, and headed back the way he came.

“Wait. Why don’t you stay? Talk to me,” she said as she tied her hair up into a quick bun, her breasts almost peeking out of the bubbles.

He swallowed again. Yes, he’d been living with her, but the only thing that had happened in bed was sleeping. Fully clothed sleeping. Seeing her in the tub short-circuited his brain.

“Jason, are you okay? Tell me about your day.”

“Yeah. Um. Jean Luc drove even faster than he normally does to the hospital. Talia found it cute that Kyle and I were scared.”

Sabrina smiled. “Talia drives as fast, if not faster than Jean Luc does. Have you ever gone somewhere with her in her vintage Mustang?”

“No.”

She chuckled. “I wouldn’t advise it.” She reached for the loofah and ran it over her arms and around her neck before lifting one long leg and rubbing the loofah over it slowly and repeating it with the other leg.

She held out the loofah. “Would you wash my back?” she asked with large, innocent eyes.

Sabrina’s eyes were gorgeous, twinkling, insightful, and a host of other descriptors, but innocent was not one of them.

Why did that loofah suddenly feel like the shiny apple in the Garden of Eden?

He crossed his arms to stop from reaching for it. “Sabrina Miller, are you trying to seduce me?”

She beamed. “Yes.”

He dropped to his knees next to her, restraint gone, and took the loofah. Blowing out a breath, he ran it down her back again and again. “Are you sure? You had a big day.”

She pouted. “I’m a Succubus. I shouldn’t have to try this hard.”

“Sweetheart. I love you even if all we ever do is hold hands. Your health comes first.”

“And I love you because you have always seen more to me than my looks, than wanting to have sex with me. But now I want to be with you.”

His heart beat triple time in his chest. “And I want to be with you too.”

She stood up, and he gaped from his place on the floor as water cascaded down her body. “Holy hell.”

“How about we move this to the bedroom before I climb you like a tree?”

He fumbled for the towel, wrapped it around her, and lifted her into his arms. “Whatever you want.”

“Be careful, Jason. I want a lot.”

She deserved everything. He set her on the floor next to the bed and helped her dry off.

“Less clothes would be nice,” Sabrina said as she laid back on the bed, propping up on her elbows so that she could watch him.

He smirked at her as he kicked off his shoes and made short work of his clothes. Her look seared him as she studied him from head to toe. He crawled over her, his face right above hers. God, he loved her and he wanted her, but his nerves were in overdrive.

She reached up and rested her hand against his cheek. “I’m nervous too.”

He couldn’t have heard her right. “Why?”

“Because for all the times I’ve had sex, it has never been with someone I love.”

He turned his head and kissed the center of her palm. “Me either.”

She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him flush to her body.

“Damnation, woman. You play dirty.”

She smiled and her blue eyes sparked. “I do.”

“What about protection?”

“Succubi have control over their procreation, and we can only get pregnant within our own clan.”

His brain had melted, since he’d forgotten he already knew that.

“And we don’t get STIs,” Sabrina added.

And then they were kissing and everything was right in the world.

All that they had faced in the past and would face tomorrow wasn’t as important as this moment.

He opened his mouth, and her tongue swirled with his in harmony.

His hard body against her softness made him tingle.

He kissed down her chin and dragged his tongue down her neck before nipping at her collarbone.

She gasped. “Now who’s playing dirty?”

He chuckled as he made his way down her body, spending serious time worshipping her breasts before moving to her stomach and then farther south.

And he paid special attention to how she responded to his touch, his mouth.

Minutes of glorious exploration, until she plunged her fingers into his hair and pulled.

“Come back up here,” she said. Her face pink and perfect, eyes glossy.

Their mouths fit together, and she reached for him, slotting him to her. He looked into her eyes and she nodded. A moment later he was inside her.

Nothing would ever be the same again.

They started a dance with their tongues and their bodies.

Slow and sultry at first, but before long his body wanted to pick up the pace.

He looked down at Sabrina, whose eyes were glowing.

She grasped his back, and heat surged from her hands into him.

He sucked in a breath as warmth from his body met hers, and they blended as if they were both encased in a bubble of swirling blue energy.

She arched beneath him, and her neck was too enticing to ignore.

He licked along it and bit down where her neck met her shoulder.

Sabrina broke apart and Jason followed. The energy spun around them like a cyclone before flowing back into their bodies as spots floated in his eyes and every muscle shook. He fell to the side, so he didn’t crush her.

“That was…” Words escaped him, or rather everything fell short in his mind to describe what had just happened. This is what she felt when she had sex?

She blinked. “I know. It has never been like that.”

He propped himself up on his elbow. “Seriously?”

“Seriously. It has always been pleasurable and powerful, but that…”

He chuckled. “We’re a pair, aren’t we?”

She rested her hand on his chest. “We are. And we’re perfect together.”

They were perfect together. No matter what they had to face in the coming months, they would do it together.

They fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms. A deep, blissful sleep that she woke him up from several times in the most creative of ways.
