Lavos Read online

  Lavos rolled so he didn’t crush her, keeping her locked to him so his dick remained buried inside her pussy. She clawed at his shoulder, her nails scratching against skin through his shirt. Her ragged cry hopefully wasn’t one from pain. He felt her muscles squeezing around his dick and it set him off more, another jet of his sperm shooting inside her.

  He groaned, turning his head and burying his nose against her throat. His fangs touched her skin but he didn’t bite.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Jadee knew she’d have bruises but she didn’t care. She was on her side pressed tight against Lavos. One of her legs was hooked over his hip, the other one tangled under one of his against the bed and off the side of it. The sexy guy had a good firm hold on her ass cheek. He had big hands, big feet, and the saying was true in his case. Lavos was hung.

  Who’s the big dog? Lavos.

  She almost laughed at that thought. It was one she wouldn’t share in case it insulted him. She caught her breath and tried to make her mind work. It was tough to do after he’d just made her come twice in a row.

  She became aware of more things. He had fangs and they were touching her throat. She didn’t feel any pain but it was impossible to miss the feel of them with his open mouth on the area just under her ear. He could bite her. She didn’t jerk away, not willing to move yet. His heavy breathing tickled a little.

  She eased her death grip on his shoulder. She must have done that in the heat of the moment. She let her hand trail down his biceps, liking the feeling of them. It was a pity he wore a shirt. She wanted to touch him all over.

  The man had a wicked mouth and no one had ever blown her mind better than he had. He’d growled and vibrated as he’d gone down on her. That was an amazing sensation while being licked. It also made her feel a tiny bit embarrassed. She hadn’t lasted more than a minute. He’d be disappointed if he wanted to play with her for a while.

  Lavos made a low rumbling sound and his chest vibrated against hers. She liked that. He licked her throat. It was a little odd but nice. His fangs scraped against her and then he closed his mouth, pressing a tiny kiss on that same spot.

  “Next time we’ll do this a bit slower.” He lifted his head and she opened her eyes, loving the sight of his. They were that beautiful, vividly bright blue she found fascinating. They glowed a little but not too much. He studied her, his expression serious. “Did I hurt you at all?”

  “Nope.” She wasn’t going to complain about a few bruises from his hands digging into her various body parts or the tenderness she felt because he was a bit of a stallion.

  “I wasn’t too rough?”

  She knew what it meant to be fucked like an animal in those last few minutes. He’d gone at her with wild abandon. “I liked that part.”

  His smile erased the tension from his features. “Was there anything you didn’t like?”

  She glanced at his shirt. “You’re overdressed.”

  “I can fix that.”

  “I want to touch you.” She hoped he wouldn’t back off, hearing those words. Some men liked to detach themselves from a woman after sex.

  “I’m all yours.” He pulled away a little. “Hold that thought and don’t go anywhere.”

  Jadee hated the feeling of him pulling his cock out of her. He still felt hard though, a surprise since she knew he’d come. He was vocal about his pleasure and she liked that. It was sexy hearing him groan her name, and all that snarling. Most women probably would have been unnerved by those almost vicious sounds, but not her.

  He rolled onto his back and sat up. Jadee scooted on her side to the center of his bed. It was kind of awkward as he stood, undressing.

  This is why I don’t do one-night stands, she reminded herself. They were highly attracted to each other but they weren’t yet at a stage where she felt totally comfortable with him. But as Lavos stripped off his clothes, she still admired his beefy ass. He had no tan lines.

  He turned, presenting her with his front.

  She could stare at him all day. He had broad shoulders, muscular arms, and his stomach was lined with killer abs. Her attention lowered, taking in what she’d felt firsthand. His cock was big and thick. She was grateful they’d already had sex or she might have been intimidated enough to feel a little leery of that bad boy. He kept the hair around his groin neatly trimmed.

  She noticed something when she admired his chest again. “You’re not wearing your grandma’s ring.”

  “I took it off because I was expecting some trouble today.”

  “At the lodge? I know I was a surprise.”

  “The lodge meeting. I hoped no fights would break out but I wanted to be prepared just in case.” Lavos got on the bed. He caught her gaze with his. “Any regrets for what we just did?”

  “No.”

  “You look a little stunned.”

  “You’re big all over.”

  He laughed, lying down on his side, facing her. Only inches separated their bodies from touching. “I have good genes.”

  Yes, you do. Animal magnetism too. She smiled, keeping that to herself.

  He smiled in return and used his arm to prop his head up. He reached out, playing with her hair. He wrapped a damp lock of it around his finger. “We need to talk.”

  Her good mood died. “Already?”

  He unwound her hair from his finger. “You know what I’m going to say?”

  “Yes. This was a one-day-stand kind of deal. Don’t get attached. You want me to understand that this isn’t going to lead anywhere. I’m human. You’re not. Yada, yada, yada.”

  His eyebrows shot up. “Is that how you feel?”

  “No. But you’re still a man. I almost forgot that, despite what we just did.” She felt disappointed, and worse, disgusted with them both. Him for hurting her feelings by seeming to think what they’d done was just sex, and her for not expecting it.

  She rolled, preparing to get out of bed. She’d borrow something to wear from him that wasn’t covered in dirt and then leave. Maybe she could move to Siberia or Antarctica. She doubted Werewolves or Vampires would hang out in either place. She’d freeze her ass off but she’d live longer.

  She’d almost reached the edge of the bed when Lavos lunged, wrapping an arm around her waist and dragging her back to the center. She twisted her head, gaping at him. He looked pissed.

  “Where are you going?”

  “I’m leaving.”

  “You’re not going anywhere.”

  His gall pissed her off. “I had questions and you answered them. I can kiss my ass goodbye if that nest contacts their council and has other nests hunting for me, thinking I’m some Vampire slayer. I got it. Avoid all Vampires. You have no pull with Werewolves, so avoid the woods and big parks, in case they hang out there. Maybe I can drive my RV into the middle of the desert. Do wolves like blasting heat and miles of cactus?”

  “Why are you so angry with me?”

  “It’s mostly at myself, Lavos. I don’t know what I was thinking. You get close to me and I turn stupid. That’s the problem. Couldn’t you have at least waited until tomorrow to pull that ‘we need to talk’ crap?”

  “I wasn’t going to say what you think I was.”

  She took a deep breath. “Okay. Spill it. I’m waiting with bated breath.”

  His eyes narrowed and he still looked pissed. “I was going to say that what happened between us changes everything.”

  That stumped her. She didn’t know what to think. The silence stretched between them until she got irritated. “Do you want to expand on that?”

  He sat up and let go of her waist. “How about I show you?”

  He opened his mouth and his fangs grew as she watched. They were menacing, even scary, considering the thunderous look on his face.

  He moved fast, startling her. She found herself flat on her back, Lavos coming down on top of her. He grabbed her wrists before she could react, jerking them up to the sides of her head, and he held on to them as he settled his body over hers.
