Inevitable (Stonewood Brothers, #1)

by Shain Rose

“Whitfield,” he growled. Then, he ran his tongue over his teeth and I just knew. “Jax, we should get up,” I whispered. I just knew. He gave me that calculating look and then mumbled, “Fuck it.” I. Just. Knew. His lips crashed down onto mine. As I gasped, he shot his tongue in my mouth, reclaiming it as his like he’d never lost the title. He staked his flag on the territory and not even I could fight the war and win. We weren’t equal opponents here. It was predator meets prey. I couldn’t survive because he’d already ripped me open. He kissed me like he was ravenous, like I was his first meal ever, like he’d consume all of me. I would never be able to outrun him. I wish I could say I shoved him back right away. That I thought about jeopardizing my friendship with Jay or who was waiting for him back in the city. I didn’t. I held onto him for dear life because he might have ripped me open and fed on me like he was ravenous but I needed his kiss just as much. It was the blood in my veins, the oxygen in my lungs, and the water in my body. He tasted like he used to and of so much more than he used to. This was Jax grown-up, primed, and aged perfectly.
