Eddie ached for him. She pulled her mouth away. “Kiss me back.” Her voice came out as a plea. “I need you to kiss me back.”
“Eddie,” he purred. “That’s not how this works.”
The heat of his body burned through the thin cotton of her T-shirt. She spread her hands over his silken, hot back. She wanted to absorb him into her. Her hard nipples rubbed against his chest, and she undulated to increase the pressure.
“Hmm,” he rumbled. “I can smell how much you want me.”
Eddie was way past caring. She wanted his hands on her, wanted his body on hers—inside her. She would explode if he didn’t fuck her.
Wrapping her thighs around one of his, Eddie pushed her core against the hard muscle. She was swollen, wet, and needy.
She gripped his ass and pushed him against where she needed him most.
“Easy, little human.” He gripped her hips and controlled her frenetic pace. “Give me all that desire.”
Eddie fought against his control. She would go up in flames if she didn’t get relief soon. “No.” She panted. “Let me come. I need to come.”
“And you will.” His silver eyes met hers. “But not yet.”
His gaze burned into her, and a warning bell sounded in the back of her mind. She wanted him so badly, but something wasn’t right here. From a place way deep inside, Eddie dredged up her good sense. “What are you doing to me?”
He looked surprised, and then intrigued. “You deny me?”
God, she was going to hate herself for this when he left her in this state. “This is not right.”
“Shh.” He feathered his mouth over her jawbone. “You’re going to feel so good, Eddie. Let yourself feel.”
She was ready to rub herself against him to orgasm, but his detachment penetrated her lust haze. As much as she lusted after him, he wasn’t feeling it. “Stop.” She dredged up her last ounce of resolve. “I don’t want this.”
“Yes, you do.” His eyes glowed silver. “Let yourself feel.”
“No.” Eddie shoved at his shoulder. She didn’t know how he was doing it, but he was making her desire him. And he was not feeling the same. It made her feel cheapened, and also dealt very neatly with the situation between her legs. “Get off me.”
Shade frowned and pulled back.
Eddie drew a deep breath and shoved him the rest of the way off her.
He rolled to his feet smoothly, an unreadable expression on his face. Shadowy wings rose behind his shoulders. “Go to sleep, Eddie.”
And amazingly, she did.
Curioser and curioser. Shade was intrigued. Moonlight played lovingly across her high cheekbones and full mouth. Her eyelashes lay in thick halfmoons against her creamy skin. She had resisted him.
He couldn’t remember the last time that had happened, and never with a human. Leaning down, he studied her closer.
The hounds pressed against him and whined softly.
Shade stared at them.
They liked her, and they felt the compulsion to obey her.
Eddie shifted in her sleep and threw one restless arm out of the covers.
She had strength this one, and her lust had carried a potent punch that had almost drawn him in and mired him in its allure. He was lust; he didn’t feel it. And yet with this human woman, he had wanted to taste her, touch her, press his heated flesh against hers and lose himself in the temptation of her.
His body ached, and he needed to rest. Her lust had also been so much more potent than any he’d ever experienced, and already his muscles, bone, and skin knit themselves together. She was one mystery wrapped within another, and he needed to watch her carefully.
Which was the only reason he pulled back the covers and slid into the bed beside her.
