CHAPTER 4

W raith crawled onto the bed, prowling over her. He couldn’t resist the temptation of the half-dressed woman in front of him. Caging her underneath him, Wraith kissed her hard, sharing the flavor of her essence that still coated his lips and mustache. To his delight, she responded and licked his skin when the fiery kiss ended. She was a sensual creature to the core.

“Let’s get the rest of your clothes off, Caroline.”

When she wiggled underneath him to grab the bottom of her shirt, he shook his head at her. “I get to unwrap my present.”

“Oh.”

Her instant submission made his cock jerk in his jeans. She was absolutely perfect. How had anyone ever let her get away?

Wraith pushed himself up to sit, allowing a small portion of his weight to rest on her pelvis. He tugged her hands from the hem of her top and pulled the garment over her head. She cooperated beautifully, raising her arms so he could get rid of it.

“Damn, you’re beautiful, Caroline.” Wraith took a quick second to memorize the sight of her in a matching red lace bra. He ran a finger under a shoulder strap.

“Were you planning on picking someone up?” he asked, lifting an eyebrow quizzically.

“No!” She shook her head emphatically, as if the suggestion horrified her.

“Okay, sweetheart. I already knew I was a lucky man. Some things can’t be denied.” He followed the strap over the shape of her full breasts and loved her quick inhale of breath. “We need to get this off you now.”

With a few practiced moves, he unfastened the clasp behind her and eased the lace forward. He could feel her gaze glued to his face and allowed her to see his appreciation of her curves as he tossed that garment onto the growing pile.

“So pretty.” Wraith cupped her breasts, gently rolling the soft flesh in his hands.

“I wonder if you taste as delicious as you look?” He leaned down to press his mouth to the sensitive side of her breast and trailed kisses to one deep-red nipple. Taking the taut peak into his mouth, he repeated the brushing motion of his tongue that had worked so well for her much lower. Her moan assured him she loved the whisking sensation here as well.

“Wraith. I want to see you too. Take these off,” she demanded, wrapping her hands around his thighs.

He loved this side of her. Before he moved, Wraith nipped at the nipple trapped in his mouth to remind her who was in charge. He released his target with an audible pop before pressing his hands to the mattress.

Reversing his path, Wraith pushed himself up to standing and popped the button open on his now too-tight jeans. Wraith was more aroused than he could remember. He thrust a hand into the front to cup himself and drew the zipper down to avoid injury to his steel-hard erection. Nicking his cock with those metal teeth was not in his plans tonight.

Caroline stared so hard at his crotch he could almost feel her touching him. Controlling his grin at her eagerness, Wraith wrapped his hand around the base of his erection and tugged his hand toward the tip. He wasn’t twelve inches of porn star endowed, but he’d never had complaints. As her eyes widened, he knew negative comments wouldn’t start now.

“That’s never going to fit,” she whispered.

“We’re going to be just fine, Little girl.”

She shook her head in disbelief. “I don’t think I can even get my mouth around that,” she protested.

That visual image made his cock jump. “Maybe we’ll try later.” He quickly removed the rest of his clothing. He grabbed a condom from his pocket and rejoined her on the bed.

Wraith wrapped his arms around her and boosted her up to the pillow before kissing a path back to her mouth. Her hands closed around his shoulders. He could tell she was nervous. That was fine. He had all the time in the world.

Seducing her with long, steamy kisses, Wraith stroked his hands over her rounded curves. He’d never understood the allure of hard, bony women. His preference had always been those whose softness contrasted with his muscular form.

When her hands relaxed their grip and roamed over him, Wraith pressed a thigh between her legs, offering her something to squirm against. The feel of her wetness grinding on his quad told him she was ready. He quickly rolled the condom into place before moving fully over her.

Wraith dragged one of her legs up around his waist and pressed the head of his cock to her opening. Feeling her wetness directly on his skin would be incredible. Inside, he shook that away. He’d used protection since he was fifteen. Never had he regretted the thin sheath around him.

Her fingers dug into his sides, signaling she had gotten nervous again. Wraith shifted slightly and slid his shaft through her pink folds, targeting her clit. He wasn’t in any hurry. If she needed time, he had hours to help her be ready.

“I’ve got you, Little girl. I’m never going to hurt you,” he assured her before capturing her mouth in a sizzling kiss.

She melted into his arms. He loved how responsive she was. Caressing her breasts and down her abdomen, Wraith searched for her most responsive spots and teased those. Brushing his thumb over her clit as he glided his erection through her wetness, he could feel her tense and then, a moment later, combust.

Her nails dug into his shoulders as Caroline enjoyed the climax that shook her body. He’d have marks as a souvenir to treasure.

Two.

Driving her wild had become his favorite pastime.

Shifting slightly, Wraith pressed the head of his cock into her. Her muscles quivered around him as he glided into her heat. Her snug passage made him groan with delight. Being inside Caroline had become his favorite place on earth.

“You feel like heaven,” he told her as he slowly filled her.

“Don’t stop. Please,” she begged.

“Never,” Wraith promised her.

When he slid the last inch into place, Wraith dropped his forehead down to hers and paused to control his urge to withdraw and smash back into the paradise she offered. Caroline deserved every ounce of his self-control.

“You fit,” she whispered in wonder.

Her tone brought a smile to his lips. Damn, this woman was dangerous. Hot, enchanting, and addictive. “Let’s see how good we can make this, Precious. Hold on.”

Fighting for control, Wraith focused on making this unforgettable for her. He searched for the best angle. When she clutched him tighter, Wraith focused his efforts there. Her small sounds drove him crazy. He wanted this to last as long as possible.

The room heated around them as they moved against each other. Wraith loved the taste of her salty skin. He brushed her thick hair away and tugged her head back to claim her lips. That small touch of pain increased Caroline’s movements. Her hands slid down his spine to grip his butt as she ground herself against him. Her cry of delight echoed around him.

Three.

Finally, Wraith quickened his pace. He drove deep into her and treasured how she met each of his thrusts. Feeling his climax gathering, Wraith was determined to get her there as well. He slid a hand between their bodies to tap her clit. Wraith growled, “Come with me, Precious.”

“I can’t,” she protested.

“You can. One more time, Little girl,” he encouraged and nuzzled that sensitive spot where her neck and shoulder met. Kissing her skin, Wraith then closed his mouth around her. He bit down gently, giving her another taste of pain.

“Ahhhhh!” Her scream ricocheted off the empty walls.

Pounding into her, Wraith allowed himself to join her orgasm.

Four.

When their thudding hearts slowed, Wraith maneuvered them under the covers and gathered Caroline to his chest. He’d break it to her tomorrow that her wild one-night stand had morphed into something much more permanent.

* * *

Heat wrapped around Caroline, feeling like heaven. She blinked her eyes open and stared at the alarm clock. 8:32 a.m. How long had it been since she’d slept in?

Caroline smirked. Okay, she hadn’t slept very much last night. Did lovers like Wraith actually exist? Those who acted like you were the sexiest woman on earth?

She inhaled deeply. His male scent filled her senses. She’d never forget the aroma of hot, sexy man. Biker , she corrected herself.

Shifting slightly, she bit her lip to stifle a moan. Had she ever been sore after sex? Wraith had taken such tender care of her, but he was huge. And so good . She smirked.

“I’d love to hear what’s going on in that mind of yours, Precious.” His deep voice rumbled over her. That bass tone would replay in her fantasies for years to come. Why was she sure all her heroes from now on would have low voices?

A million dollars couldn’t convince her to share those thoughts. Caroline turned in his arms and pressed a light smooch to those amazing lips that had kissed nearly every inch of her body last night. “I had a really good time last night. You’re something special.”

“I enjoyed myself as well,” he told her with a smile before leaning forward to kiss her. The exchange caught fire quickly.

She pulled back reluctantly. “I don’t think I can take any more,” she whispered.

His slow, knowing wink made Caroline duck her head as her face heated. She suspected she was turning a vivid shade of red. Firm fingers lifted her chin.

When their gazes met, he said softly, “Best damn night ever. And I always want you to tell me how you really feel. Did I hurt you?”

“Never. It’s just….” her voice trailed off. How did she share he was twice the size Adam was?

“Take a warm bath, Little girl.”

His stern tone did something to her inside. He was such a Daddy. She wished this could be more. Now that she’d had a glimpse of what sex could be like, Caroline would compare everyone to her one night with Wraith. Sadness filled her. Life was so unfair. If only things could be different and Wraith would want to stick around.

“You haven’t figured it out yet, have you?” he asked slowly.

“Figured what out?” she wondered, confused.

“I’m not going anywhere. Do you have time for breakfast, Precious?”

She stared at him. Did he mean today? She decided to address the second question. “I can make pancakes.”

“I’ll make pancakes. Do you like puppies or kitties better?”

“Kitties?” she chose one, feeling clueless. What was he talking about?

“Go soak. I’ll make the bed and then go raid your kitchen. Kitten pancakes coming up.”
