Animal Instinct Page 9

  “Oh God,” he breathed.

  Thinking that must mean he liked what she was doing, Heidi wrapped her lips around his shaft and slowly moved her mouth up and down. Each time, she took him a little deeper until he was finally touching the back of her throat. Above her, Luke let out a groan, and she couldn’t help but feel a little surge of pride at knowing how good she was making him feel.

  Wrapping her hand more firmly around the base, Heidi moved her head up and down on him faster and faster. She could feel him begin to slowly thrust his hips to match her rhythm, and she knew that he must be getting close to coming. She would have loved to make him come with her mouth, to feel him spurting his cream down her throat, but Luke tightened his fingers in her hair, gently pulling her away. She looked up at him curiously.

  “I’m close,” he rasped. “And I want to be inside you when I come.”

  As much as Heidi had wanted to make him come with her mouth, having him inside her when he did sounded even better. Giving him a sexy smile, she rolled onto her back and scooted up the bed until her head was on the pillows. Luke wasted no time climbing in with her, and she bit her lip in anticipation as he settled himself between her legs.

  Bracing himself on his forearms, Luke positioned the head of his cock at the opening of her pussy. Rather than slide in right away, though, he rubbed the tip along the folds. After all those erotic dreams she’d had, Heidi was more than a little impatient to have him inside her, and was on the verge of telling him as much when it occurred to her that he must be giving himself a minute to cool down after the lick she had just given him.

  Thankfully, neither Luke nor his cock needed much of a breather, because in the next moment, he was sliding into her pussy. Heidi gasped, her arms and legs instinctively going around him to pull him in as deep as he could go. His cock filled her so completely and so perfectly that she could almost believe he had been made for her. As he slowly began to thrust, all she could think was that the real thing was way better than any erotic dream she’d had of him.

  “God, you’re so wet,” he breathed.

  Bending his head, Luke closed his mouth over hers in a kiss so thorough and possessive that she was left gasping for breath when he finally pulled away. If she hadn’t already been lying down, Heidi thought her knees might actually have given out. Damn, is there anything he isn’t good at? As he nibbled his way along the curve of her jaw and down her neck a moment later, she decided the answer to that was a resounding “no.”

  Loving to have her neck kissed, Heidi turned her head on the pillow, giving him even more access to that sensitive part of her anatomy. Of course, with how good his cock felt thrusting in and out of her pussy, it was a little difficult to concentrate on what he was doing with his mouth, but she was surprised to feel his teeth against the curve of her shoulder. That felt different. Abruptly, she remembered the dream she’d had, the one where she and Luke had been making love in the forest. He had nipped at her then, too. And she had liked it. As he gave her another little love-bite now, she decided that she really did like it. In fact, it was incredibly hot.

  She was just wondering if it was the werewolf in her that made her want to give him a little love-bite in return when Luke suddenly rolled onto his back, taking him with her. She came up with her long hair a wild tumble around her shoulders and a smile on her face.

  “Ride me,” Luke commanded softly, guiding her into motion even as he said the words.

  Heidi obeyed, slowly moving up and down on his thick cock. In this position, Luke went in so deep that it almost took her breath away. Part of her wanted to just sit down hard on his shaft and let him remain there until she passed out from pleasure. But she wanted it to be good for him, too, so she rode all the way up and down, letting the tip of his cock almost slip out each time before she sank back down. The rhythmic sound as her ass smacked against his thighs was almost hypnotic, and she closed her eyes and gave into the moment. Luke took care of the pace, so all she had to do was move and enjoy.

  The pleasure began to mount almost immediately, and soon she was moaning and babbling incoherently as her pussy started to spasm uncontrollably. Luke was just as vocal, groaning deep in his throat every time she came down hard on his rock-hard shaft. He gripped her hips more firmly, urging her to go faster, and she did. He was close, she knew. Opening her eyes, she locked her gaze with his and sped up her movements. The look of pure, unadulterated sexual pleasure on his face was all it took to push her over the edge, and she let out a cry of ecstasy as her climax burst forth from deep inside her and spread to every part of her body.

  Unable to sit upright any longer, she fell forward onto his chest, her head on his shoulder. Luke immediately began thrusting harder, and she let out little yelps of pleasure as he grabbed her ass firmly and pumped his cock deep into her over and over. When he buried his face in her neck to sink his teeth firmly into her shoulder as he emptied himself into her, she thought she actually saw stars. Thrusting his hard cock deep into her pussy, he held it there as his cum splashed inside her. All she could do was moan as her pussy quivered in one long, continuous orgasm.

  By the time their mutual orgasms had subsided, Heidi was completely spent and more than happy to spend the rest of her life right there on Luke’s broad, muscular chest, breathing in his scent and feeling their hearts beat together.

  All too soon, though, their heartbeats began to slow and their breathing gradually resumed a more normal pattern. Still she didn’t move. Instead, she just lay there and reveled in the fact that she’d just had what was almost certainly the very best sex of her life. Even now, her pussy was trembling with the memory of what it had felt like to have that perfect cock of his pounding into her.

  Her lips curved into a smile. Maybe spending a few more weeks up in Alaska wasn’t going to be that much of a drag after all.

  Chapter 6

  Heidi woke slowly the next morning. Of all the erotic dreams she’d had since getting turned into a werewolf, she had to admit that the one last night was definitely the most vivid. Her pussy was even a little tender. It must have been one heck of a dream.

  Letting out a wistful, little sigh, she snuggled deeper into her pillow, only to blink in surprise when a strong, male arm went around her waist and pulled her close. Well, well. So, last night hadn’t been a dream after all. She hadn’t thought it was possible to dream in such exquisite detail, and she was glad to see that she’d been right. She wouldn’t have wanted to think that such perfect, mind-blowing sex had been nothing more than her imagination.

  She snuggled into Luke’s arm and relived a few of last night’s spicier moments. She had fallen asleep on his chest only to be awakened a little while later by the feel of his hard cock moving slowly in and out of her pussy again. That had woken her right up, and they had made gentle, passionate love for hours. God, what a lover.

  While sleeping with a guy she hardly knew was definitely a first for her, she decided right then and there that she certainly didn’t regret it. She’d been in a dry spell of sorts for a while. In fact, she hadn’t been with anyone since breaking up with her ex-boyfriend months before coming up to Alaska . She hadn’t realized how much she missed not only the sex itself, but also the emotional feeling of closeness that came with it.

  Not that she expected what she’d done with Luke to be anything more than what it was—great sex—but just the simple act of snuggling up to him now made her feel more relaxed than she’d been in a long time. Maybe she should have given into her wild side long before this.

  That thought almost made her giggle. Up until last night, she hadn’t even realized she had a wild side. Maybe being turned into a werewolf had brought it out. But as she felt Luke’s hard body press against hers, she decided that maybe it was just being around him that had done it. Heaven knew that a guy as hot as he was could have that effect on any woman.

  Lifting her head, she looked over her shoulder to see him sleeping soundly beside her. She couldn’t help but smile. With his hai
r all tousled and a trace of stubble on his chiseled jaw, he looked very sexy first thing in the morning. Not to mention completely adorable. Oh yeah, she could definitely get used to waking up next to him every day. She sighed at that. Don’t get crazy. There was no reason she couldn’t enjoy herself while she was here, but at some point, she would have to go back home to Denver . It would be smart not to forget that.

  But those thoughts were best left for another day. Right now, she was going to enjoy the moment. Not every day a girl got to snuggle up with a hunky werewolf after a night of hot sex, after all.

  Thinking that Luke could probably use the rest after their marathon sack session from the night before, Heidi resisted the urge to wake him with a good morning kiss and a strategically placed hand. After a few minutes of snuggling, though, she realized that she needed to make a run to the bathroom. And she needed her caffeine. Though she was reluctant to leave the warmth of his arms, she slowly slipped from beneath his arm and padded into the adjoining bathroom.

  Quietly closing the door behind her, she walked over to the sink and looked at herself in the mirror, only to blink in surprise at the light teeth marks on her shoulder. She lifted her hand to run her fingers over them, a smile curving her lips. Well, she’d had the feeling that Luke would be an animal in bed.

  Giggling to herself at the comparison, Heidi quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, then took her terrycloth robe from the back of the door and slipped it on. Letting herself back into the bedroom, she gazed down at Luke still sleeping soundly in her bed. Before she could give into the urge to crawl back in it and wake him up, she tiptoed out of the room.

  Thinking that Luke would probably rather have a hot cup of coffee instead of a bottle of Starbucks Frappuccino from the fridge, Heidi made a pot. While it brewed, she cleaned up the ice cream they’d left out on the counter, tossing out the cartons of gooey mess she had forgotten to put in the freezer last night and rinsing the bowls. She had just finished up and was about to pour coffee into a mug, figuring she would take it back to bed and drink it while curled up beside Luke when she heard a sound behind her. She turned to see Luke standing there. Her breath hitched at the sight of him. He had put his jeans and T-shirt back on. It looked like all he had done was run his fingers through his hair, and he still managed to look gorgeous. God, it was all she could do not to drag him back to bed.

  To give herself something else to do, she tucked her hair behind her ear. “I didn’t wake you up, did I?”

  He shook his head. “I smelled the coffee.”

  She smiled sheepishly. “I can’t seem to get myself going in the morning without it. I was going to wake you up, but you looked tired.”

  Luke chuckled. “After last night, I don’t wonder why.” He walked across the small kitchen to stand in front of her, stroking her chin with his finger. “I wish you had woken me up, though. I would have loved to see how beautiful you look with the first rays of the sun shining on your face.”

  Heidi couldn’t help but blush at that as she leaned in closer to his touch. “You sure know how to sweet-talk a woman first thing in the morning.”

  He chuckled softly. “It’s only easy because it’s true. You really are a beautiful woman. I hope you don’t mind me saying that.”

  “Not at all. My mom always says to take a compliment with a smile and a thank you.”

  Before she could actually get the thank you out of her mouth, though, Luke bent his head, touching his lips to hers in a gentle kiss. All at once, his mouth became more insistent, his tongue delving into her mouth to lay claim to hers in a way that had her clinging to his shoulders. His hand slid from the curve of her hip to cup a breast through the short terrycloth robe she wore, and she moaned against his mouth. At the sound, his hand moved lower, finding the sash at her waist. Mmm, she definitely liked where this was going. Who needed caffeine in the morning when you could have sex?

  Abruptly, the doorbell rang. Just as Luke was starting to tug the belt on her robe open, too. Damn.

  “Are you expecting someone?” he asked against her mouth.

  “No,” she said, pulling him back down for a kiss.

  The doorbell rang again, followed by a knock.

  “Ignore it,” Luke said, taking her lower lip into his mouth and suckling on it. “They’ll go away.”

  Another knock, more insistent this time.

  Heidi groaned. “I’d better answer it.” She kissed him. “Wait right here. I’ll get rid of whoever it is.”

  That was going to be easier said than done, she discovered, especially since a smiling Sukie breezed into the apartment the moment Heidi opened the door.

  “I’m not too early, am I…” Sukie’s voice trailed off as she caught sight of Luke standing in the kitchen. “Oh! I didn’t know you had anyone here.” She swung her gaze back to Heidi. “I didn’t interrupt something, did I?”

  As she closed the door, Heidi couldn’t help but smile at how mature Sukie always sounded. “This is Luke McCall,” she said. “Luke, this Sukie Teeland, my neighbor.”

  “Pleased to meet you,” Luke said.

  “I’ve been giving Sukie art lessons,” Heidi explained.

  The teenager nodded. “She’s a really good teacher, too.”

  Luke’s eyes twinkled as he looked at Heidi. “Really? Well, maybe I could get her to give me a lesson sometime.”

  Despite the fact that Sukie was too young to know what kind of lessons he was referring to, Heidi blushed anyway. Hoping to hide her embarrassment, she reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear again and turned her attention to the other girl. Her brow furrowed at the pad and watercolor paints in Sukie’s hand. “We weren’t supposed to have a lesson today, were we?”

  Sukie nodded. “Yeah, but you’re busy, so I can come back some other time. No big.”

  Heidi glanced at Luke. That sounded like a good idea to her. To her dismay, however, Luke was shaking his head.

  “No, I don’t want to come between a budding artist and her lessons,” he said. “Besides, I have to go into work for a couple of hours anyway.” He gave Heidi a meaningful look. “I could come back and we could…talk. If that’s good for you?”

  Oh yeah, talking is very good.“Yeah, that’d be great.”

  He grinned. “Good. I’ll see you in a couple of hours then.”

  Luke’s fingers brushed hers as he walked past. It wasn’t as good as a kiss, but she supposed he couldn’t exactly lay one on her with Sukie there.

  “He’s cute,” Sukie said as the door closed behind Luke.

  Heidi smiled. “Yeah, I suppose he is.”

  The other girl walked over to put her watercolor pad and box of paints on the living room table. “And he likes you.” She gave Heidi a smile that was all too knowing for a teenage girl as she sat down on the floor. “You like him, too. I can tell.”

  Heidi poured a cup of coffee for herself and pulled a bottle of Starbucks out of the fridge for Sukie. “You can, huh?”

  “Oh yeah,” Sukie said. “It’s obvious.”

  Is it obvious? Heidi walked over to sit down on the floor beside Sukie.

  “You guys should go out,” the younger girl added conversationally. “Like on a date or something.”

  Heidi laughed. “We’re just friends, Sukie.” With benefits.

  Sukie didn’t look convinced. “I have a friend at school named Jimmy, and he doesn’t look at me like Luke looks at you. All he does is tease me and pull my hair.”

  Luke liked to tease her, too. And he had tugged on her hair last night when she had been on her hands and knees and he’d been taking her from behind. But she wasn’t about to mention that to Sukie.

  “Okay, enough about my social life,” she told the younger girl. “Let’s do some painting.”

  As Heidi opened her watercolor pad to a fresh page and pulled out her paints, however, she found herself glancing at the clock and counting the hours until she would see Luke again.

  * * * *

  Luke was falling fo
r Heidi. Way faster than he should. If he had any sense, he would put on the brakes before he fell any further. Thing was, he didn’t want to stop himself. Not this time. He shook his head. How the heck can I feel this way about a woman I have barely known for more than a day? Is it because she is just so damn beautiful? Or is it because she is a werewolf? Or is it because she is so unbelievably hot in bed? Maybe it is a little bit of all of that. Whatever the reason, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Or wanting her.

  That was why he had jumped into his SUV after she had left last night and driven to an all-night convenience store to buy ice cream. He had needed a reason to see her again. And because he’d known that he wouldn’t get any sleep if he didn’t.

  Not that he had slept much last night. Despite how spent he had been after that first round of hot sex, he had found himself getting hard again a short time later. He had never been with a woman so amazing. It was as if their bodies had been in perfect sync.

  Luke wondered if this was how Hunter had reacted when he’d first met Eliza. Had his brother experienced the same almost uncontrollable attraction? Was it some sort of animal instinct that made him want Heidi the way he did? He had always joked with his brother about male werewolves giving off pheromones that made them irresistible to the female sex, but now he had to wonder if it weren’t the other way around. Maybe female werewolves gave off a scent that made males lose their minds when they were around them. Considering the way Heidi’s intoxicating scent had kicked his sex drive into high gear, he could believe it.

  Turning into the parking lot of the Fish and Game office, Luke pulled into a space and cut the engine. He was just heading into the building when his cell phone rang. Taking it out of his pocket, he flipped it open and held it to his ear.

  “I thought you were going to call me.”

  Luke groaned inwardly at the sound of his brother’s voice. Shit. He’d forgotten to get back to Hunter about going up to Fairbanks for the weekend. “Yeah, I meant to,” he said as he shouldered the door open and walked into the building. “I’ve been…busy.”
