Claws and Fangs Read online

  “Morgan McKay?”

  He nodded. “Though I don’t go by it anymore, everyone knows who I am. You tell them we’re friends.”

  “Why would you offer me the protection of your given name?”

  He glanced down her body. “Let’s just say I’m fond of you.”

  Her nipples grew taut at the husky tone of his voice and the way his gaze lowered, taking in every inch of her. If that wasn’t enough of a clue to where his mind wandered, the way the sheet began to lift over his lap was. She licked her lips and watched as his cock swelled under the thin material.

  “We should have a proper goodbye,” he rasped. “Will you at least unfasten my ankles this time? I won’t hurt you, and I’m happy to be of service if you’re thinking of riding me again.”

  She was torn. Part of her wanted him so much she ached in places, but it was a bad idea. She’d already grown a little too attached to him, and knew that having sex with him a second time would only make it worse. One sweep of her gaze down his sexy body stretched out over her bed was motivation enough though. What the hell.

  Lacey scooted away and dug into her jeans for the handcuff key to release his ankles. “This is crazy but you’re worth a little risk.”

  He grinned. “I’m grateful to hear it.”

  She hoped she was right about him not being dangerous. She glanced at the scratch-free bedposts, which told her he’d meekly lain there without fighting. An evil bastard would have fought hard to break away and kill her. Lethal had given his word and he’d kept it.

  Some of her fear eased and she realized how much she wanted him. Who knew how many years it would be, if ever, before she got the chance to have sex again? Other men sure wouldn’t be as handsome or as well built as Lethal. He wasn’t someone a woman would forget.

  She freed his legs and began to strip. When she stood naked, she gripped the sheet and pulled it off him completely. The raw masculinity of his sculpted, powerful body turned her on more than other men had ever done when they’d kissed her. Seeing Lethal made her ache for him before they even touched.

  “You can climb up here and settle that beautiful femininity over my mouth.” He licked his lips, his fangs extended. “I won’t draw blood. Hurting you is the last thing I want.”

  “Really tempting, I won’t lie, but again...not happening. You might not mean to hurt me, but those fangs look pretty sharp.”

  “Just hold very still while I use my tongue.”

  Passion flared at the idea but she shook her head. “I would wiggle around if you’re any good at it, and if you aren’t, that would disappoint me.”

  “You could release my arms and I could be on top.” He stared at her pussy. “I’ll pin your hips under my mouth and hold you still to enjoy the tongue-lashing I want to give you. I’m very good.”

  Wetness dampened her thighs. “You’re dangerous, Lethal.”

  “Not to you.”

  “Tell it to my body. You keep talking that way and I might just come before we even get started. Damn, you talk a good game. Plus you’re hot, but you know that.”

  He spread his legs, his cock jutting upward, and his muscular arms tensed as he positioned his body higher on the bed. “I won’t bite. Climb on, Lacey. Lean over me until your nipples rub against my chest, and my lower belly can rub you instead of your finger.”

  Lacey was on the bed before she could rethink it, the promise of another amazing bout of sex with Lethal just too much to resist. She hesitated a moment, a little taken aback at her eagerness, before dropping to her hands and knees, her face hovering above his cock.

  “You’re perfect everywhere.” She studied him in great detail. “I never thought I’d admire a guy’s dick, but not only are you big, you’re just pleasing to the eye.”

  He softly groaned. “You’re breathing on me and it’s torture.”

  “I remember how you said you could go hours. Was that true?”

  “I wouldn’t lie to you.”

  “Fast recovery?”

  “I’ll stay hard.”

  “Too bad you’re a vampire. I think I could fall in lust with a man like you, Lethal. I almost wish the circumstances were different.” She smiled and opened her lips.

  She lifted a hand from the bed and gripped his shaft as her tongue circled the outer rim of the crown. His body tensed, and he whispered her name in a sexy way. It incited her to wrap her lips around him and take more of the thick length deeper inside. She moved slowly, testing his girth and swirling her tongue everywhere she could.

  “Fuck,” he groaned. “You’ve got the hottest mouth. It’s pure heaven.”

  She moaned around him, knowing he’d feel the vibrations, and his cock twitched in response. She took him deeper, to the back of her throat, not an easy feat with his size, and moved faster up and down.

  “Swing around and spread those thighs around my face,” he demanded, panting. “Give me what I want, Lacey. I’m dying to taste you. You smell so damn good.”

  She shook her head, letting him know she wasn’t about to become his blood donor, while at the same time trying to bring him closer to the edge. Her fingers stroked his shaft in rhythm with her moving mouth. His groans and the way his hips slowly rocked told her he was close. She kept sucking and licking him until Lethal inhaled loudly and the taste of him filled her mouth as he came.

  Lethal was different in even that. The flavor of his spent passion was something she could easily enjoy. She milked him until he stopped coming, his moans subsided, and she slowly released him from her mouth. She lifted her head and met his glowing eyes. It took her breath away to see the satisfied look she’d put on his face.

  He cleared his throat and lifted his head. “I take it you wouldn’t consider dating a vampire?”

  She smiled. “No. I can’t see that working out long term, but having sex is another matter. That was a little body worshipping. You’ve got one that deserves it.”

  Her gaze dropped to his well-defined abs and she released his cock to splay her hand on his hip, knowing he could take her weight as she put a leg over his and inched up his body. Her lips and tongue found hot skin as she kissed her way over his lower stomach, up to those ridged muscles, and only hesitated at his ribs because his stiff cock dug into her belly as she stretched across his body. She looked down.

  “Damn, you’re perfect.”

  “Not quite. I can be an ass.”

  She chuckled. “That’s just a man trait.”

  She began kissing his body again, intent on straddling his lap to ride his cock, when a noise startled her. The popping sound was close, loud—and her head jerked up in time to see Lethal pull his wrists apart when he snapped the chains.

  Terror engulfed her as her gaze flew to his, locking on his beautiful eyes. Oh god! Her life was over.

  If he could get free that easily, he’d been playing with her since he’d woken that first time, restrained to her bed. He would rip out her throat. She imagined the agony and envisioned herself screaming as she died.

  Lethal softly cursed. “I won’t hurt you but I can’t take any more. You’re torturing me. Don’t look at me that way. Think. I could have gotten free at any time.”

  Lacey was beyond rational thought. She tried to lunge away from him, the gun in the hallway her only chance of survival if she could get to it.

  The vampire had superhuman speed and strength though. She cried out when strong hands grabbed her. She hit the bed hard and then one turned-on vampire had her at his mercy when he pinned her under his big body. Their gazes held.

  “Damn it, lass,” he rasped. “Don’t be afraid.”

  “You were playing with me,” she accused.

  “You were actually the one playing with me.” He smiled. “Now it’s my turn.”

  “Are you going to kill me?” Lacey hated the catch in her voice.

  “No. I’m going to make you scream.” Lethal winked.

  Tears filled her eyes and she wondered how badly it would hurt when he savaged her with h
