Unleashed Temptation (6 page)

He understood what she meant. They all had similar builds but both Nick’s

brothers had dark eyes. “That was Stephan. He’s two years younger than me. Thomas is

my older brother. He’s the one who owns the club downtown.”

“So it’s just the three of you?” Out of the corner of his eye, he watched her shift in

her seat and cross her legs toward him.

He swallowed and kept his gaze on the road. “Yep.” Making any sort of

conversation was damn near impossible. Nick racked his brain, trying to think of

anything nonsexual to talk about. He risked a quick glance at her. “Do you like Miami

so far?”

Her face lit up instantly. “I love it here. The summers in Chicago are hot too so I’m

looking forward to spending a fall here with no snow.”

There, that wasn’t so bad. He could talk like a normal human being. “What about

the shop? I know we didn’t get a chance to talk much this week, but are you figuring

everything out okay?”

“Yeah. Most of the accounting stuff is time consuming since everyone has such

different hours, but the programs you’ve got are great. And everyone has been really

nice too, especially Alex.”

He grunted at his cousin’s name.

“What?”

“Nothing. She’s just a pain in the ass sometimes. Needs a man to take care of her.”

Carly’s nose crinkled as she laughed aloud. The sweet sound enveloped him. “I

can’t believe you just said that. That’s so chauvinistic.”

He shrugged and glanced over his shoulder before switching lanes. Chauvinistic or

not, it was true. For the next fifteen minutes he managed to talk to her like a normal

human being. That was a feat in itself.

Once they reached her place she invited him in while she got changed. Her

apartment was small but from what he could see, it fit her. Large black-and-white prints

of various American cities hung on two of the sage-colored walls. Bright afghan

blankets were thrown across the back of the loveseat and couch and a vase of fresh

sunflowers stood proudly on the coffee table.

“I’m ready if you are.” Carly’s voice caused him to look up from the magazine he’d

grabbed off the coffee table.

His stomach clenched at the sight of her. She wore an off-the-shoulder simple black

dress and black heels. It didn’t show any cleavage but it was too short and too tight. In

reality it was perfectly respectable, tame even, compared to what most women wore to

South Beach clubs, but he didn’t want anyone else seeing her long legs. It was totally

barbaric but he wanted her all for himself.

Nick stood and forced himself to smile. “Let’s go.”

The living room was attached to a small foyer. As she started to unlock the front

door, he instinctively placed his hand on the small of her back. Something primal inside

him simply wanted to touch her.

When he did, she looked back at him in surprise. White-hot lust flared in her eyes

and the sweet scent of her pussy dampening greeted him. In that instant, he knew they

weren’t going anywhere.

Her fiery red hair tumbled around her shoulders in seductive waves. Just like in his

dream. With a shaking hand, he threaded his fingers through her hair and cupped the

back of her head. The desire to completely dominate her surprised him. He’d heard

about what happened when other werewolves found their mates, but he’d never

completely understood until now. And he really didn’t want to fuck this up. Having a

human mate wasn’t something he’d counted on. If she’d been a shifter, she’d have

recognized their connection and would have understood exactly what he needed from

her.

“Do you want to stay or leave?” he rasped out.

Her tongue darted out to moisten her pink lips. “Stay,” she whispered.

That’s all he needed to hear. The second his mouth crushed over hers, he knew that

everything he’d previously thought about women and relationships was about to

change.

Drastically.

Nick knew Carly deserved wining, dining, and a lot of foreplay, but that would

come later. Once he’d gotten his fill of her. Hell, if that was even possible.

He hadn’t had a thing to drink, yet he felt almost drunk. Needing to feel more of

Carly, he slid his free hand up her leg and under her dress. His cock surged when he

touched more bare skin than material. As he caressed and gripped her ass, she pressed

her pelvis tightly against his and started grinding in small little circles.

Nick tore his mouth away from hers and feathered kisses along her jaw. Animalistic

urges compelled him to kiss, touch, and claim every part of her body. He continued a

trail of kisses down to her neck. A heady scent that was pure Carly enveloped and

overwhelmed him, threatening to short circuit what few brain cells he had left.

He might have thought he’d had a clue what this would be like, but his erotic

dream paled in comparison to the reality of actually touching her.

Carly couldn’t believe what she was doing. This was her boss. Her very sexy boss,

but still, this wasn’t the smartest move she’d ever made. It was hard to care when he

was touching her. Hell, it was hard to
think
straight when they were in the same room.

“Nick.” His name rolled off her tongue when he pressed her back into the wall.

Her pussy ached with pent-up need. She’d been doing what was expected of her for

too long. Having sex with her boss would definitely qualify as wrong, yet she’d never

wanted anything more.

As his hand glided over her bare skin and tugged at her thong, a shiver raked over

her body, surging to all her nerve endings.

“You’re so soft,” he murmured against her neck.

His hand slid under the elastic of her panties and trailed around her hip until he

reached her mound. Pushing the flimsy garment to the side, he gently rubbed a finger

over her clit.

As he teased the sensitive bud, he tugged at the top of her dress. The asymmetrical

dress only covered one shoulder so it easily slid down, only to pool around her waist.

Nick completely stilled when her breasts were bared. His hand stopped moving

over her pussy and his eyes zeroed in on her chest.

She could feel her face heat up as a sudden wave of shyness overwhelmed her. She

was tall and slim, but her breasts weren’t much to look at. Instinct took over and she

started to cover herself.

Nick grabbed both her wrists and pinned them to the wall above her head. The

sudden abrupt action stole the breath from her.

“Don’t ever cover yourself in front of me. You’re fucking beautiful, woman.” His

words were a low growl and somehow almost animalistic.

She nodded since she didn’t trust her voice. Still holding her arms in place, he

dipped his head and sucked one of her nipples into his mouth. Arching her back, she

tried to give him better access.

With each stroke and lick, an invisible string of desire traveled straight to the

throbbing between her legs. Her clit pulsed, aching for him to touch her there again.

Pushing her hips forward deliberately, she lifted one of her legs and hooked it around

his waist.

“Upstairs,” she whispered in his ear. All the rooms in her place were downstairs

except her bedroom, which took up the entire second floor.

Thankfully he understood what she meant. His pale eyes flared when they met

hers. As he dropped her arms, she wrapped them around his neck. Before she could

contemplate the ramifications of what they were about to do, he’d hoisted her up so she

had no choice but to wrap her legs around him. He took the stairs two at a time.

Standing at five foot eight inches, she wasn’t heavy but she wasn’t a slight woman

either. Yet he moved with a grace and strength that surprised her.

As they entered her room she was aware of her feet touching the ground, but when

the backs of her knees hit the end of her queen-sized bed, reality crashed down on her.

“Do you think—”

He placed a calming finger over her lips. “No thinking,” he murmured before he

clasped the bottom of her dress and pulled it over her head.

If she’d felt exposed before, it was nothing compared to standing in front of Nick in

a skimpy thong and heels. She could feel her skin warm and her nipples harden as his

pale gaze swept over her body. His chest lifted and rose erratically.

Carly stood frozen, captured under his spell until it registered that he was still

dressed. Grasping his belt buckle, she tangled with it until it came free. As she pulled

on the zipper, he lifted his shirt over his head and it was her turn to lose her breath.

She was vaguely aware that he’d kicked his pants out of the way but all she could

focus on was his chest. A man didn’t have the right to look so good.

Dark hair lightly smattered across his pecs. The muscular lines across his chest and

down his arms were perfectly defined and cut, as if he’d been chiseled from stone. He

was like an incredibly honed machine. Everything about him was solid.

As her gaze strayed down his ripped abs to the V between his legs her face instantly

warmed.

“See something you like?” The deep timbre of his voice jerked her head back up to

meet his gaze.

She opened her mouth, though to say what, she’d never know. He came at her fast,

his mouth descending on hers with a ferocious need.

Instinctively she braced herself for the fall as they tumbled onto the bed but Nick

caught her around the waist and gently laid her against the comforter before settling his

body against the full length of hers.

This was what she’d been waiting for. Skin on skin. Wrapping her legs around him,

she grinded her hips against his. Unfortunately he seemed content to kiss her. The way

his tongue swirled and danced in her mouth drove her senses haywire.

She’d always been big into foreplay but her body was so hot she felt as if she’d

combust at any second. Getting Nick inside her was the only thing she cared about.

When she reached between them and grasped his cock, his huge body stilled and he

lifted his head back. “Did I say you could touch that?” he murmured.

A small smile touched her lips at the hint of dominance in his voice. “Do you want

me to stop?”

“No, but I don’t want to come in your hand.” His voice rolled over her like honey

as he bent and nipped her jaw.

The small admission told her he was just as turned-on as she was. Her fingers were

still wrapped snugly around his cock, but she let go and both her hands trailed around

to his backside.

She dug her fingers into his ass and moaned as he continued kissing down her neck

and chest. His hot breath on her skin sent tingles scattering over her entire body. She

couldn’t understand what it was about him that got her so crazy. Normally she had to

date a man for a while until she was comfortable enough to take it to the next level. All

Nick had to do was look at her and her clothes fell off.

He left a hot trail of kisses down her body until he reached her breasts. He licked

and laved the underside of both, as if he was taking great care to cover every inch of her

skin.

He lightly raked his teeth over one of her hardened nipples and began circling it in

erotic little circles. As if he read her mind, he pinched the other one between his

forefinger and thumb and squeezed. The motion bordered on pain, but sent shock

waves straight to her pussy. Threading her fingers through his thick hair, she clutched

onto his head as his tongue and fingers worked their torturous magic.

Her panties were completely soaked, something he had to know. “I want you inside

me, now.” Somehow she found the strength to utter a few coherent words.

Wordlessly he lifted up and tugged her panties down her hips and legs. She kicked

one of her legs, sending the material flying off the bed.

Nick rubbed his thumb over her clit as he inserted one finger into her slit. He pulled

it out then gently pushed two inside her. When he pressed his fingers against her inner

walls and slowly dragged them out, she nearly vaulted off the bed.

“You’re soaking wet,” he murmured as he withdrew his fingers and nestled

between her thighs.

“Condom,” she blurted.

He paused, hovering at her entrance. She wished she knew what was going on in

his head, but he was insane if he thought she’d have sex with him without any sort of

protection.

Nick inwardly cursed himself. It had been so long since he’d had sex with a woman

who wasn’t a shifter, he’d completely forgotten about condoms. Shifters didn’t need

protection because their DNA was completely different. He couldn’t get STDs, which

meant he couldn’t give them. Not to mention female shifters could only get pregnant

twice a year. But, Carly wasn’t a shifter and she didn’t know any of that. He could only

hope she didn’t think he was an irresponsible jackass.

“One sec.” He slid off the bed and grabbed his wallet from the back of his pants. If

his emergency condom wasn’t in it, he didn’t know what he’d do. When his fingers

touched the foil packet, his stomach clenched in anticipation.
