Black Seduction Page 2

  She opened her mouth, ready to turn her head and cry out what she thought of his demands. No one would ever make her submit. His hand clamped down harder behind her head, and his other hand grabbed her arm, holding her firmly while he dipped deep into her mouth.

  He tasted like fresh meat, with a mixture of something sweet, possibly fruit. Her insides fluttered then tightened while prickles of desire washed over her. He was hot, aggressive and strong. Qualities she already knew existed in Raul, but never tasted. And his scent, fresh and alive, smelling of the outdoors with something more carnal and dark laced through it. Her insides quickened then ignited in flame.

  Angela tried pulling away, this time simply to catch her breath, but he pulled her even closer, smashing her breasts against his steel chest. She growled, warning him she would take only so much and then he would regret it. He growled back, tilting her head farther and impaling her mouth. She thought to move her hands, once again slice his flesh with her claws to show him that no one manipulated her. Before she could act, his hand brushed past her arm and cupped her breast.

  God. He was so damn good at this. Need swelled inside her, and her pussy throbbed. An ache blossomed inside her and then grew so quickly she couldn’t catch her breath.

  Damn him.

  “Raul,” she whispered when his mouth moved from hers and traced a wet path to her neck. “Why now?” It was so damn hard to think when he nipped at her collarbone then placed gentle kisses over it. “What do you mean ‘times are changing’?” She hated how she panted while trying to speak.

  He moved her shirt, exposed her breast, and then sucked it hard into his mouth.

  Angela bucked, feeling the piercing sensation of electricity shoot from her nipple straight to her pussy.

  “Why were you out here?” he asked, and his teeth scraped over her nipple.

  Her brain wasn’t working right. He moved from one breast to the next.

  “I came out here to think.” Her breasts swelled, and she fought the urge to rub against him. “I thought I would be alone over here.”

  “No one else will bother you.” His confidence should be annoying. But something about his soft growl, the firmness in his words, offered reassurance of a promise that wouldn’t be broken.

  “You intentionally followed me over the mountain.”

  “Yup.” He created space between them, leaving her nipples cold and wet, and reached for the button on her jeans. “You and your littermate had a fight and I guessed you might be upset.”

  She and Natasha were always fighting. “What makes today different from another day?”

  “Today you fought over the future of our litters.”

  How did he know about her fight with her littermate? Raul unsnapped and unzipped her jeans before she had time to react. Once again he wrapped a powerful arm around her and pressed his palm against her flesh. He slid his hand inside her jeans and curled his fingers into her moist heat. Angela staggered, the pressure inside her already so close to the boiling point his touch was more than she could handle. His grip tightened enough to keep her pressed against him. She pressed her hand over his chest, measuring the steady beat of his heart against hers while she warred with emotions and physical reactions to his touch.

  She used her other hand to grab his wrist, although her fingers barely wrapped around the thickness of it. Everything about him was oversized, even the length of his cock, which was like a steel beam pressing against his jeans, and growing more and more obvious as it throbbed against her hips.

  “If you want to talk about what’s happening with Colony right now, then fine.” It was getting harder and harder to keep her thoughts straight.

  “And if I want to do something else with you?” he growled, his black hair falling around his face when he lowered his head and nipped at her neck.

  Crap. She wouldn’t let him weaken her resolve. “It’s got to be something we both want, Raul.”

  He thrust deep inside her, impaling her with his finger. Angela cried out, unable to do more than dig into his shoulders and hold on.

  “You’re soaking wet. Smell how desperately you want me. Your scent was obvious before now, Angela.”

  “I don’t want a one-time thing.” Not now. Not when her entire world was about to blow up in her face.

  “You’re not getting one. That’s why I’m here.”

  What did that mean? She moistened her lips and tried to word her response in her head before saying anything. But his fingers brushed against each other inside her, stroking her pussy walls, soothing and torturing her at the same time.

  “Your fight with Natasha stirred up Colony.” Raul slid his hand out of her jeans. “Litters are taking sides. It’s time for action.”

  He left her feeling empty, soaked and frustrated. She almost asked him to continue, not to stop. Angela ran her fingers through her hair, blowing out a puff of air, and stared out toward the mountain range, and possibly for the first time not seeing them.

  “Which side are you on?” she asked, desperately trying to dampen the craving burning inside her with thoughts of Colony.

  “The same side as you. Jaguars don’t belong mingling around humans. I’m hearing Natasha and her followers want to make money off them.”

  “We can’t coexist with them.” She turned in time to see him drop his jeans and pull off his shirt.

  “You and I aren’t going to mix with humans. It’s wrong, and I won’t have it.”

  Chapter Two

  The harsh aggression as he hissed his last words brought her pause. Angela stared into his intense green eyes, fighting the urge to lower her gaze as she tried to digest what he just said.

  Raul grabbed her and pulled her to him. She didn’t need to look down now. Every inch of his gorgeous body pressed against her—hard, throbbing, so alive and perfect he rendered her speechless.

  “I believe we should always honor who we are, the gifts we’ve been given, and use them to make us stronger, not tarnish our reputations.” He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off the ground. “Introducing ourselves to humans, like the werewolves did, would cause fear and inevitably some would die—on both sides.”

  “I don’t want to run from the mountains like we ran from the rain forests,” she said, her voice husky. This was a serious conversation, and one damn hard to focus on when he held her so close against his naked body.

  “We won’t live where there’s no honor. Wherever we go, you’re going to be with me.”

  “I’m not going anywhere,” she said stubbornly, even as he lowered her onto a flat, cool rock then backed away from her.

  The way he looked at her, his green eyes growing dark and smoldering as he grabbed her foot and pulled off her shoe, was enough to show her he didn’t hear what she said.

  “And if I did, who’s to say I would go with you?”

  He grabbed her other foot even when she tried moving it. “Like I said earlier, that’s why I’m here.” He didn’t elaborate but came over her, reaching for the waist of her jeans and lifting her as he tugged them over her hips.

  “Why are you here?”

  “To make you mine.” He pulled her jeans off her.

  Angela tried to grab his hands, his wrists, anything to slow his actions, but his determined expression matched his quick actions. A growl ripped from her throat as the urge to fight, attack, make him earn what he seemed so convinced he could take, raged through her with as much intensity as her desire to be taken did.

  “You don’t feel the need to ask?” she hissed, her voice almost as rough as her growl when sparks shot down her spine. Anger and intense desire made for a really dangerous mix.

  Raul managed to get both of her hands behind her back and pinned her wrists with a solid grip. His free hand stretched over her neck. Gently, too damn gently, his fingertips brushed over her suddenly incredibly sensitive flesh.

  “You’re the female I want running by my side,” he rumbled, his face close enough to hers she smelled his morning kill o
n his breath.

  Inhaling it, tasting his carnal side while fingers brushed over the erratic beat of her pulse in her neck, she arched into him, willing herself to have the strength to flip him off her.

  “Is that because you’ve been with every other female in Colony and found them lacking?” She mocked him, staring defiantly into eyes that only smoldered more from her words.

  “They are lacking. But no, I haven’t fucked them.” Instead of kissing her mouth, he moved lower and placed his lips directly over the spot where her pulse raced feverishly. “None of them would fight like you are. My mate will have honor, a craving for life so strong and powerful she would kill or die trying to ensure her life and that of her litter.”

  “Your mate?” Those two words stabbed her like a sharp knife, fine-tuned and skilled enough to slice into her heart. Her insides swelled, pain and pleasure continually attacking her at the same time. “You give me as much attention as you do all the other females. My mate would also have honor, and love me so much that in his world there would be no other females.”

  His mouth moved lower and he used his teeth to grab her shirt. He yanked it over her breasts, pounced on one of her nipples, and released a satisfied growl. Fiery electric currents raced from her breast straight to her pussy.

  Angela howled, deciding if he took her like this, he would declare them mated. Raul needed to prove a lot more about himself before she’d consider mating with him. Showing how much passion could ignite between them didn’t mean he would be a good mate.

  It was getting more difficult to remain focused. But she had to give it all she could. Putting some muscle into it, Angela almost managed to throw him off her. Her aggression obviously turned him on as much as it did her. Damn him. Damn her. This wasn’t how she imagined it would be.

  “Why are you fighting me, my little cat?” he grumbled, and moved to her other breast. “Who is the male you’d rather mate with?”

  “I didn’t say there was another male.”

  Raul raised his eyes, causing his green orbs to flash through his long, thick, black lashes as he stared at her. “So of all the males you’ve fucked in the past, none of them appeal to you?”

  There was no way he’d turn this around, try to make her believe she was more promiscuous than he was. His teeth scraped over her nipple, charging her insides with a need that swelled so quickly it took a minute for his words to register.

  “My past has nothing to do with this. You chase after every piece of tail in Colony. I’m not sniffing after any male.”

  Raul pulled her off the rock with enough force she stumbled into him. He freed her hands but used enough force her body slammed into his chest. She pressed her palms against his shoulders to brace herself. His face was inches from hers when he held her gaze captive.

  Before she was able to react to this new position, he grabbed her bare ass and spread her legs. “No male would ever run from you.”

  Raul lowered her again, coming down on top of her, this time with her legs on either side of him.

  “The difference here is that when I’ve been pursued, I’ve run and managed to get away from whoever chased me.” When her back hit the rock again, she pushed against his shoulders, managing to scoot into a sitting position before he stopped her. Even then, his body was too close to move her legs. “Do you think I’m going to willingly give you what I’ve refused to give other males?”

  “Yes,” he whispered, not hesitating for a moment. “I do.”

  His cock was right there, swollen, hard and large. The tip of it brushed against her pussy, feeling smooth and perfect. Damn him again. If she could just think about something else, anything other than how wonderful he smelled, how delicious his muscular body looked, anything—she would be able to gather the strength to fight him.

  “And my little cat,” he whispered, his lips brushing against hers. “You’re definitely not a virgin, so don’t tell me you’ve refused every male. You’re so hot for me right now I smell your lust.”

  “How dare you!” It wasn’t any of his damn business how many males she slept with. Not that there were all that many. The males in Colony didn’t do much for her, and life was too hectic to consider mating. “We’re discussing your list of conquests, not…”

  He not only cut off her words when his lips seared over hers, but her thoughts melted into a confused state of fogged lust when his tongue found hers. Raul kissed with fiery passion, making her want to curl her toes, arch her back off the rock and purr as anticipation rolled over her like molten lava.

  She couldn’t breathe, sure as hell couldn’t think, and if she moved just a little, his cock would slide right inside her. Moisture creamed against her shaved pussy lips, preparing her.

  Raul ripped his mouth from hers, still aggressive yet unbelievably gentle when his free hand cupped her cheek. Her ripe scent mixed with his, filled her lungs as she pulled in a deep breath.

  “Better than perfect,” he mumbled, and took his time kissing her neck before adjusting himself over her. His cock pressed against her soaked entrance and he raised his head, searching her face.

  Soft-spoken words wouldn’t make her submit. “It might be,” she purred, and then prayed he was relaxed enough or focused on diving deep inside her.

  She shoved him off her, feeling her spine spark with jolts of energy that urged her to let her more primal side surface. The sensation warred with swelling need, ransacking every inch of her. Raul was easily the best male out there. But damn it, he wouldn’t just pounce on top of her and decide it was her turn. No matter how turned-on she was, how desperately she wanted him, submitting would only make Raul cockier. The male needed some serious training.

  “But I choose who fucks me,” she hissed as her arms and legs wobbled slightly.

  The change was so close, too close. But allowing it to happen would give him even more power. As jaguars, a more primal law ruled. Remaining human at least allowed her to reason, not that she was sure Raul was in the mood for reasoning.

  She made it to a squatting position then froze as she stared at his engorged cock. It stood erect, long and thick. Its round head looked smooth, velvety, with the smallest droplet of pre-come at the tip. She stared at it longer than she should have, noting how it looked like a small jewel. And his cock, ripe for the taking.

  Raul leapt at her, coming at her with enough force that both of them slipped toward the edge of the rock. He grabbed her, twisting at the same time so his body pressed into the tiny pebbles underneath them instead of hers.

  “Colony won’t survive the devastation and humiliation your littermate and those supporting her are about to put it through.” Raul held her against his chest, his cock still as hard as the rocks around them and throbbing to distraction between them. “My litter won’t be disgraced by their actions. I don’t want you pulled into it either. We’re leaving and I want you running by my side. You can do it as a single female or as my mate.”

  She stared into his eyes, captivated by the tiny, bright-gold flecks that seemed to spark like fireworks around his pupils. They dilated as she watched them, but he didn’t move, simply held her while his words slowly took meaning.

  “This isn’t how I imagined a male asking me to mate with him,” she confessed, her stomach twisting not only from the realization of what he said, but the truth behind them.

  He moved her body, adjusting it just enough that his cock slid easily inside her. In spite of her determination to fight him, she gasped as he filled her.

  Raul moved to a sitting position and glided deeper inside her. “I’ve watched you run to this side of the mountain for so long,” he said, his voice so husky it sounded like a dangerous growl. He gripped her hips, lifting her just a bit before thrusting forward.

  “Fuck!” she howled, and was pretty sure the ferocious growl came from him. “Why?” She fought for understanding, which was hard as hell to do when he damn near split her in two. “I never sniffed you out.”

  “Nope.” Leaning forward,
his arms cradled her back as he lowered her to the rock she’d just leapt from. Once again he was on top of her, and this time he lifted her legs, holding her ankles and standing over her while he turned the heat between them into smoldering flames. “No other male was going to get close to you.”

  It bugged her how he successfully followed her and she’d never sniffed him out. No one knew she came out here. At the same time, a warped sensation added to the heat in knowing he kept an eye on her.

  His cock stroked her insides, creating a pressure that threatened to explode beyond her control. She would confront him, let him know what she thought of his methods, and make it clear nothing happened without her consent. But as he built the momentum, thrust harder, it was all she could do to hold on. And even then, as she slipped over the edge and came harder than she had in a long time, she felt her world tilting. Even without dwelling on it, she knew when everything balanced out again, life as she knew it would never be the same. Not after this. Nothing compared to this.

  A low, dangerous rumble started deep inside him. Angela watched his jaw harden and his teeth grow until they pressed against his lower lip and slightly altered the shape of his jawbone. His eyes glowed like rare gems as he stared down at her. And the rumble turned into a growl. Every muscle in his chest took shape and protruded with a glorious magnificence that stole her breath.

  He came hard, filling her and marking her. His cock throbbed inside her, pulsing and feeding her while she clamped down on him and milked every drop he offered. Her body quivered. Raw energy took birth, filling, consuming her until she wanted to laugh, cry, strike out and run as fast as she could.

  “This isn’t a one-time thing,” he rumbled, his voice shaky.

  She opened her mouth to answer, but what would she say? That he moved in on her too fast? That sounded rather shallow after fucking him.

  No way could she return to Colony without everyone questioning if she was now mated or simply turning against tradition and becoming another easy female, willing to put out without demanding a commitment. With the few males in her past, none of them had ever come inside her. She wouldn’t allow it. She was a modern female, but she would never turn her back on what made her kind stronger, more powerful than any other species on earth.
