In the Company of Wolves (SWAT, #3)(64)

Jayna was so floored, she was speechless. She knew she should say she loved him too, but she couldn’t. Not that she wasn’t crazy about him—she was. It was just that she didn’t know if she believed in love, not the way he did.

But at the same time, she had to admit hearing him say those words to her made her feel warm all over. Tears suddenly welled in her eyes, but before she could reach up to wipe the embarrassing things from her cheeks, Eric’s lips were there, kissing them away. His mouth quickly moved from her cheeks to her lips, and soon enough, she was having a hard time remembering why she’d been crying in the first place. It was amazing the way he could make her forget her problems with a simple touch. She had about a hundred critical decisions to make, but right then, she couldn’t think of a single thing that couldn’t wait until later…much later.

Pushing him back on the couch, she climbed onto his lap and kissed him with the same abandon he was kissing her with. Eric rested his hands on her hips, letting her take charge, though she could tell from the bulge in his pants that he was more than a little aroused.

He wasn’t the only one. Knowing how excited Eric was got her going too. Dragging her mouth away from his, she sat back and slowly pulled her shirt over her head, then did the same with her bra. Eyes molten, Eric cupped her breasts in his big hands and leaned forward to take one stiff nipple into his mouth. Oh God, he could drive her insane with that mouth of his.

Jayna gasped as his slightly extended canines grazed her sensitive nipple when he sucked it into his mouth and feasted on it. The crazy combination of warm, soft tongue and hard, sharp fangs was unbelievable, and she wondered if it was possible for him to make her come just from teasing her breasts.

She didn’t get to find out because Eric picked her up with a growl and carried her to the bedroom. After setting her gently on the bed, he slowly worked off her jeans, then her panties. It was funny, but she wasn’t self-conscious at all in front of him, not even when she was completely naked and he was completely clothed. In fact, she rather enjoyed being naked in front of him. And she could tell that he enjoyed it too. He looked hard as a rock in those jeans of his.

Eric grabbed his T-shirt and ripped it over his head, exposing his delicious pecs and sexy abs. But when he reached to unbuckle his belt, she sat up and stopped him.

“I’m an alpha now too, remember?” she said with a smile. “That’s my job.”

Eric looked surprised for a minute, then returned her grin, letting her undo his belt and yank open his jeans. She shoved them down his legs, then slid off the bed and dropped down to her knees to help him step out of them, a position that left her face-to-face with the object of her affection, so to speak.

She couldn’t stop herself from reaching out and wrapping her hand around the base of his perfect cock. Right then, she decided to do something she hadn’t done in a long time. She leaned forward and dragged her tongue across the broad head of his shaft. The sexy growl he let loose as she did made her pulse beat that much faster.

One little taste wasn’t enough though, and she scooted closer and licked him like a lollipop. He was so scrumptious, it was all she could do to keep herself from shifting out of pure pleasure.

In between those long, lazy licks, Jayna took his shaft in her mouth and moved up and down as slowly and sensually as she knew how. Eric growled even louder when she did, which only made her want to do it faster. She’d never gotten a chance to repay him for the oral pleasure he’d given her the other day, and now seemed like a very good time to do it.

She’d just added a little hand massage into the equation, falling into a nice, easy rhythm, when Eric weaved his fingers in her hair and gently guided her away from his cock. She tried to stay where she was, suddenly feeling very possessive about what she wanted. But he was insistent, and soon enough, he had her mouth off his shaft and had pulled her to her feet.

“What’s the deal?” she demanded. “I was enjoying myself down there.”

The look Eric gave her was hot and hungry. “I was enjoying myself as well—a little bit too much. A few more minutes of that and I don’t think I would have been able to stay in control.”

She looped her arms around his neck and raised a brow. “Who says I wanted you to stay in control?”

Eric chuckled and nudged her back onto the bed. “You’re an alpha, all right. No doubt about it.”

Jayna laughed and scooted higher on the bed. “I guess you’d better watch out then, or the next thing you know, I might just want to be on top during sex.”

Eric climbed into bed with her, a look of faux horror fixed on his face. “Anything but that.”

She tackled him back onto the blankets, laughing as she scrambled on top of him. She straddled his hips, enjoying his expression as her very excited * came into contact with his very hard cock. She moved back and forth on him a few times, just to give him an idea of what it would be like with her on top; then she leaned forward and slowed things down a bit by kissing and nibbling his chest. She paid careful attention to the fresh scars there, reverently pressing her lips to them, knowing he’d gotten them for her.

His hand glided over her hair, caressing her softly as she kissed her way back and forth across his pecs and shoulders, sometimes moving lower to pay attention to his abs. She knew Eric enjoyed what she was doing because he let out the sexiest growls as she did it, but she wondered if she enjoyed it even more. Being able to do something for Eric after everything he’d done for her made her whole body come alive in ways it never had before.
