“I could stay here for hours.”

“You’d kill me.”

His gaze jerked up. “Don’t say that.”

“It was a joke. I just meant I’m not sure I could take hours of that.”

His features hardened and his voice came out deeper. “I’m trying to keep in control for you. I don’t want to frighten you.”

“You being right there isn’t scary unless you bite. I really like it when you go down on me.”

He caressed her thighs with his hands. “I want to do more than that.”

“What do you want, Tiger?”

He closed his eyes.

“Tiger?”

He opened them to stare at her and she saw something in his gaze that made her hold her breath. There was a raw hunger showing but she didn’t understand what caused it.

“I want it all with you but I’m afraid I’d frighten you if I let go of my control. You’re in heat and it calls to me in ways that would shock you.”

“I’m feeling really brave,” she admitted. “Really turned-on.”

“I’m not totally human.”

“I know.”

He blinked. “Do you really understand that?”

She nodded sharply. “You purr, Tiger. You growl. You’ve got those amazingly beautiful eyes that I love to stare into. You’ve got the sharp teeth. Trust me, I get it. I’m still here na**d with you. I’m not afraid. You won’t hurt me. I trust you so stop holding back.”

“There are officers outside. Remember that.” It was the only warning she got.

Tiger dipped his head and his mouth fastened over her clit. Zandy closed her eyes when his hot tongue began to tease her by rubbing strongly against the bundle of nerves. He nuzzled his mouth in tight against her, his hands shoving her thighs wider apart to make room for him.

Pleasure gripped her—fast and furious. Her back arched to press her pu**y tighter against his hungry mouth. One arm lifted and she threw it over her open mouth to muffle the sound as she moaned. Tiger showed no mercy as he manipulated her clit, found that tiny spot that drove her insane and she cl**axed hard.

He tore his mouth away and the bed moved. Zandy opened her eyes just as his hold on her shifted from her inner thighs to her ankles. She looked down as he slid off the end of the bed and yanked her down it. His intense stare held hers until he flipped her over, grabbed her h*ps and her knees softly hit the carpet. He bent her over the side of the bed and his legs spread on the outside of hers.

The head of his c**k brushed the seam of her pu**y as he reached between them to adjust it, found right where he wanted to be and slowly entered her. She moaned and clawed the bedding at the wonderful sensation of his thick shaft stretching her apart to take him.

“I can’t stop,” he growled. “I need you.”

His body wrapped around hers to pin her tightly against the bed. His hands grabbed hers where they clung to the bed and his mouth brushed hot, wet kisses on the side of her throat. He drove into her deeply and f**ked her hard, fast.

Zandy moaned loudly and pressed her mouth against the bed. She couldn’t move at all the way he had her pinned. She could just take him and feel every thrust of his cock. Her vaginal muscles were still twitching from her cl**ax. It didn’t take long for him to bring her to a second one. She cried out, muffling the sound against the bedding as she felt him come.

His body shook over hers as hot jets of se**n filled her deep inside. He growled, stopped kissing her while he panted and groaned. His h*ps bucked with each jerk of his release. She expected him to slowly withdraw after he seemed to recover but instead he began to move again, f**king her a little slower.

“I could take you for hours,” he rasped. “I’m going to. I can’t stop. You’re so hot and wet for me. So tight. You’re mine, Zandy.”

She moaned. He might kill her but what a way to go. “I—” She stopped, shocked by what she’d almost said.

Tiger paused. “You what? Do you want me to stop? Are you sore?”

“Keep going,” she urged. She’d almost told him she loved him. “Don’t stop.”

His teeth lightly raked her throat. “I won’t.” He began to move again, f**king her deeply and steadily.

Pleasure rolled through her. He brought her to cl**ax again and found his own. She didn’t protest as Tiger lifted her afterward. He put her back on the bed and curled up behind her. Light kisses brushed her shoulder and cheek as he held her tightly.

“I’m going to wake you during the night. You’re exhausted though. Try to get some rest.”

“That was incredible.”

He softly purred. “It was and it will be again. Rest, Zandy.” Amusement sounded in his voice. “I think I wore you out.”

She grinned and closed her eyes. “You totally make me understand why men pass out after sex.”

* * * * *

Tiger knew when Zandy fell asleep. His dick was still hard and he ached to take her again. Because she was in heat, he’d stay in his aroused condition as long as the tempting scent of her filled his nose.

She was in full heat and he hadn’t used condoms. She didn’t know he could get her pregnant. Guilt ate at him for not warning her of what could happen but he didn’t regret it. He’d need to tell her the truth though. Their relationship had reached the stage where he knew it was time to share the classified information with her. He wanted her for his mate and she’d need to be informed of the truth to make that decision.
