A Tiger's Destiny (Tiger Protectors Book 3) by Terry Bolryder

apart with pleasure.
    His hand came down her body and untied the string of the flannel pajamas she had changed into after dinner and ran his fingers over the soft satin of her panties. She moaned and writhed as he touched her intimately, holding her and caressing her. Then he laced his hands beneath her underwear, intoxicated by her heat and wetness, and explored between her soft folds for a moment, drunk by the sight of her half-naked body beneath him and the feel of her at his fingertips.
    He would do anything to keep this moment forever. Somehow, all of this felt so right that it defied description.
    Then a low voice whispered in the back of his mind, his tiger.
    Mate .
    Kel quickly put it out of his mind, not knowing what to make of it and not wanting to be distracted from his goal. He stroked one finger slowly up and against her clit, and Sofia’s entire body clenched tightly, her hands grasping his body like a cat afraid to fall off a ledge.
    “What the…?” she said, wide-eyed with surprise.
    “First time?” Kel asked, pleased at her cute confusion from such intense, impending pleasure. For some reason, knowing he was the first made him oddly pleased.
    “Maybe,” she replied.
    Kel made a mental note to ask more about this woman when he got the chance. Somehow she’d gone her whole life devoid of this, and he wanted to know why that was the case.
    “Then it’s your responsibility to just relax and focus on how good it feels,” he said, coming down to her neck and kissing her there, covering Sofia’s body with his and keeping her warm as her muscles loosened again and she sighed soft signals of satisfaction with each touch.
    When Kel was satisfied that she was ready again, he stroked against her center, this time more delicately and slowly. For a moment, she tensed, then relaxed slightly as her body responded to the smooth motion of his finger. Then, as he stroked again, she groaned with pleasure as her hands held on to his shoulders and she closed her eyes to take in all the sensation.
    He’d make this kitty purr for him.
    As Kel kissed her body in every place possible, beside himself with how hot she was, he went into a slow rhythm. And as he stroked, her body moved in time with his hand, savoring the pleasure he wished he could give her in limitless amounts.
    A few more times he ran his finger along her clit, feeling her body get closer and closer to the brink. And then, with one final flick, Sofia’s body clenched tight as a coil, then released as she let out an oath and climaxed, hard. Kel held her close as she came, her body rocking with overwhelming pleasure and satisfaction.
    So beautiful. So much better than he could have ever imagined.
    The more he saw of her like this, the more impossible it would be to handle if this had to end.
    But for now, he would just focus on the present.
    It took several seconds for her body to relax, and even as it did, Kel could sense her increased sensitivity with every touch.
    “How was it?”
    “Mind-blowing,” she said, still breathing heavily from the exertion.
    “This is only the start,” he said as he pulled the blanket covering them high over her and moved lower down her body. While he did, he could see Sofia go wide-eyed with curiosity as he proceeded to pull off her panties, baring her to him.
    He was completely covered by the oversized blanket, only a hint of light from the warm fire penetrating through its thickness. But he didn’t need to see his mate to please her. He could feel her, scent her, taste her.
    Kel spread her legs slightly, allowing him access, and then kissed the soft mound at the apex of her hips gently. She gasped lightly as he did, and he kissed her again and again, running his lips over her and breathing warmth over her heated center.
    “Kel, what the—” she said, her words interrupted by her body’s own response to the pleasure overtaking her.
    He didn’t respond with words, but instead used the tip of his tongue to tease at
