Perfect.

From the shape of red lips that promised and begged, to the tips of pretty fingernails that scratched and stroked.

Her nails scored hot lines over his back when he thrust inside the first time. She added another row when he pulled out to the tip of his cock, and slammed right back in again.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Catherine breathed in his ear.

Cross pushed her thighs wider. He knew it had to burn. It had to ache.

Catherine only tipped her head back and asked for more.

“Please, please, please.”

Cross wanted to fuck. He liked taking Catherine hard because she enjoyed it, too. She could take it. She liked his hands on her throat, or pulling her hair. She liked it more when he taunted in her ear, or demanded more from her body.

He couldn’t do any of that right then. As much as he wanted to, he found himself doing something else.

Slow strokes, and deep kisses. Soft fingertips, and exploring hands. Bodies that moved perfectly in sync, yet never too fast or too hard.

Loving, he thought.

They were loving.

It was strange how that made him come harder than he ever had before.

Yet, he wasn’t surprised at all.

“Cross …”

He mumbled under his breath, and reached for Catherine to pull her close and quiet whatever she was saying.

“Cross, answer your phone.”

“Mmm. No.”

“Cross.”

His eyes popped open to darkness, and it took him another few seconds to register the annoying ring in the background.

“Someone’s called twice now,” Catherine mumbled into his chest.

Fuck.

He rolled over just enough to paw at the nightstand. Once he had his phone in his hand, he answered the call with a grunt. He couldn’t even manage more than that.

“Cross?”

Wolf’s tired, yet concerned, voice instantly had Cross wide awake.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s Cal … again,” his old mentor murmured. “He’s in another spell. It’s bad this time.”

Cross was already up out of the bed before Wolf had even finished talking. He yanked on the jeans he had discarded earlier. “I’m in the city right now.”

“I’m here with them.”

“I’ll be there,” Cross said.
