He kept his arm around me, our thighs and sides still lined tightly against each other.
Some of his hair fell over his forehead. I wanted to push it back and let my hands roam through his dark locks, but I clenched my fist to stop myself. We stared at each other, and I couldn’t help but want more. The lustful craving from before had now catapulted into a need that had my every cell homing in on him.
Sitting here with him, talking, touching, had eased me a lot faster than it usually took after previous episodes. Heavy breathing and meditation were working for me so far, but it took longer to recover every time. The mania had subsided, so why not kick it up a notch and feel euphoric? It was something to shoot for, anyway.
“You know, usually people wear their good luck charms.” I traced my fingers over the buttons of his shirt and batted my lashes at him. For a second, I almost forgot what I was doing because fuck, he had some pretty eyes. “I’d be happy to help you out there, too. I won’t even ask for any more drinks or anything else.”
He sucked in a breath that made his chest even larger, and his eyes darkened with lust while I continued playing with his shirt. The heat from his body scalded my hand, and I ached to stroke his bare skin.
He pulled me in closer, putting his lips close to my ear. “You don’t have to ask for anything. I’d make sure you had everything you needed and more.” He nuzzled the skin below my ear; I hadn’t known that spot was an erogenous zone until now. I felt his breath tickle my neck, felt the words across my skin. “Well, that is, if you’re truly serious about this.” He dragged his head back.
My heart pounded and flames licked at every pulse point on my body. I already missed the heat of him pressed against me.
I leaned in closer and whispered, “I’m very serious.” I nipped his ear playfully, then sucked the tip of his lobe in my mouth.
The mayor groaned, licking his lips as he stared at mine and adjusting himself in his seat as discreetly as he could. My effect on him had me excited. I was clearly getting to him just as much as he was getting to me.
I giggled. It had been a long time since I’d felt so free with a man. I knew I should focus on fading into the background, not spending time with the most influential man in town and making influential enemies. But no one, nothing, had ever soothed my inner beast like this man. What if I’d shifted in the tavern, in front of all those people? I could still feel my wolf inside me. I could use the time here, with Ridge, to take in as much of this intoxicant as possible. I’d still be ahead of the hunters when I left, and these memories would comfort me in the long days and nights to come.
Before another word was spoken, Ridge wrapped his hand around mine and nudged me out of the booth. We were at the bar in a flash, where he paid for our drinks. Mateo was taking his sweet time processing the payment, and Ridge’s eyes were sending laser beams into Mateo’s back. I laughed at how Ridge was trying to keep his composure in front of everybody, even though he had to adjust himself a couple more times.
He held onto me the whole time, as if he were worried I would disappear. Which, given my circumstances, was always a distinct possibility. One hint of the hunters, and I would be gone.
As we were leaving, Ridge got several waves and questioning looks, which I assumed were because he was still holding my hand, but I ignored them. I didn’t care what anybody here thought. Their opinions meant nothing to me. I was looking forward to a night of fun and stress-reducing fucking. I’d be gone in no time, never to see any of these people again.
The hot summer night air caressed my skin, but the sensation of Ridge holding my hand was all I could truly focus on as goosebumps rose on my arms.
He led me to a luxurious Aston Martin and opened the door for me. I was about to comment on his wheels, but he leaned down and kissed my cheek before I could get any words out. Steam practically sizzled from his lips, and I dropped into the front seat. I wanted to get wherever we were going and fast.
As the car curved around the turns of the town, I saw more of what the place offered. It was still picturesque, matching the charm of the main street and town square, but I didn’t care about the amenities at the moment. My focus was all on the driver sitting next to me.
Leaning over the console, I trailed soft kisses along his strong jawline and down his neck. He stiffened, and I felt the car speed up. I laughed at his reaction and nipped at his ear again. A deep, throaty growl punctured the air. My panties dampened even more, and I willed this car to reach our destination faster.
The tip of my tongue traced the outer shell of Ridge’s ear, then I sank my teeth into the sensitive flesh.
“Better control yourself, little lady. You might get bitten if you don’t,” his deep voice warned.
That only made me more excited, and I tamped down the girliest squeal trying to escape. My patience was wearing thin. I was running so hot that I needed him to extinguish this fire within me.
“What if I don’t mind a little biting?” I breathed in his ear.
The car went from smooth pavement to crunching gravel and accelerated as a large home came into view. His arm worked the gears and rubbed against my breast, my nipples hardening at the contact. I put my hand on his thigh and gripped him. The muscles there had me drooling. With all the feels I’d gotten to cop this evening, I couldn’t wait to get him naked and discover just how built he actually was.
The car slammed to a stop in front of a large garage with enough carports to house an assortment of vehicles. Ridge switched off the engine, then turned to me, captured my head in his hands, and pulled me in for a kiss. His lips crashed against mine, his tongue delving into my mouth, and we dueled for dominance.
Fire licked at my skin as the taste of him ravaged my senses. He tasted like whisky, the outdoors, and primal energy. From that moment forward, I would always associate the thought of the wild with Ridge Blackwood.
I moaned into his mouth as he slowed down and bit my bottom lip. I yelped, then he soothed the sting with his tongue.
“I need you in my bednow,” he growled.
I giggled as he jumped out of the car and opened my door before I could saytake me already. He reached across my body, brushed my sensitive breasts, unclipped the seat belt, and then lifted me from the vehicle. Before I knew what was happening, he had me thrown over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry.
I sucked in a breath at the sight of his gorgeous ass. Without a second thought, I took two nice handfuls and squeezed. His response was a loud smack that stung my ass cheeks, making my core coil.
We laughed as he burst through his front door and ran through his house so fast, I couldn’t get a glimpse of anything. His body had me well-distracted as he climbed the stairs two, sometimes three at a time. I squirmed, wanting to relieve some of the throbbing between my legs.
“Eager?”
