Hunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #2)

by H.D. Carlton

Giving me one last weighted look, he leans forward, and I shiver when I feel his hot breath fan over my core. And then his tongue is sliding against my clit, slow and firm. He groans around me, and I can no longer hold on. I shatter around him, crying out as my world breaks apart. My free hand flies into his hair, grasping for something to hold on to as my knees buckle. He quickly stands, catching me and holding me up against him, our hands pressed tightly against my pussy as I ride out the waves. I press my forehead into his chest, squeezing my eyes shut as the remnants of the orgasm slowly fade. Both hands cup my face before sliding into my locks, pulling my head back and nudging his mouth against my cheek. “Give me them,” he demands sharply. With aftershocks still attacking my nerves, I let him in, turning my mouth towards his. His lips capture mine immediately, and it rivals the pleasure radiating between my thighs. He kisses me deeply, drawing out a small, husky moan before pulling away, only to brush his lips across my ear. Surprise renders me still when he reaches into his pocket, pulls out a rose, and slips it behind my ear. “One day, you’re going to feel safe with me again,” he whispers, his voice dangerously soft. “And when that day comes, you better pray I’m feeling generous.”
