Hear No Evil (Alpha Guardians Book 2) by Vivian Wood Page B

until his hands found smooth, bare skin.
    Cassie made a soft sound, though Gabriel wasn’t sure if it was excitement or uncertainty or both.
    “Shhhh,” he whispered as he broke the kiss, leaning his forehead against hers.
    Cassie stiffened ever so slightly as he cupped her intimately, his fingers curling to brush her sex through her panties.
    “Gabriel!” she whispered, staring up at him breathlessly. “There are people here!”
    “Are there?” Gabriel asked, trailing his fingertips higher until he plucked at the elastic band of her panties. “I only have eyes for one person, I’m afraid.”
    “But they can see us! They can see me,” Cassie said, biting her lip.
    “I doubt that I’m the only shifter fondling his mate in this room,” Gabriel said, arching a teasing brow.
    Cassie’s mouth dipped into a frown.
    “I’m not your mate,” she said, unamused.
    “Cass…” Gabriel paused and gave her a fierce, possessive kiss, his fingers tracing a path back down her panties, exploring where the fabric clung to her damp sex. Cassie sighed against him and rolled her hips. Gabriel pushed the fabric aside to touch her hot, slick lower lips, groaning back into their kiss as he felt her for the first time. He angled his body to block any onlookers, wanting nothing to ruin the perfection of the moment.
    He felt the resistance in her vanish as he slid a single fingertip up, seeking. He rubbed a slow circle against her clit and Cassie broke the kiss, flinging her head back, hitting it on the wall. She didn’t even flinch; she let out a stuttered gasp and a series of sexy little mmmm s that drove Gabriel fucking crazy.
    With Cassie soaking his fingers from just the barest touch, Gabriel knew he needed to take more, give her more. He traced his tongue over the sensitive curves of her ear, giving her earlobe a sharp nip as he slid one thick finger into her impossibly tight sheath. She arched her back as her body took his invasion and this time she cried out. Her hands came up to cup her own breasts through her dress, and Gabriel wished that the damn garment wasn’t so fancy, because he wanted nothing more than to rip it off her and lavish each of her breasts with his mouth.
    “Fuck, I want you so badly, Cass,” Gabriel whispered in her ear.
    “Take me,” she sighed. “I don’t care, I swear it.”
    For the briefest moment, Gabriel considered it. Unzipping himself and fucking Cassie right here against the wall was one of the hottest things he could think of. It made his cock throb with need. But Cassie was going to be his mate one day, and he couldn’t have their first time happen in front of an audience. It was a tempting thought, but it wasn’t the right thing.
    Instead he slid a second finger deep into her channel, turning his hand up so that he could use his thumb to massage her clit. He flexed and pumped his fingers, stroking her inner walls until her excitement covered his palm. Cassie panted and rocked into his touch.
    “You’re going to come for me, Cass,” Gabriel coached, working her clit and her entrance, knowing that she was seconds from unraveling. “Aren’t you, darling? I know you’re so close…”
    Gabriel dropped his head and gave her a long, sharp nip just where her neck met her shoulder. Cassie shuddered and cried out as her innermost muscles rippled, and then she exploded, convulsing tightly around his fingers.
    “Jesus, Gabriel,” she whispered as he gently withdrew, righting her panties before letting the hem of her dress fall back to her feet.
    He slipped his arms around Cassie’s waist, keeping her in their private bubble for a few more moments. Cassie sought his lips for a soft kiss, then let her head rest against his chest. Gabriel buried his nose in her brilliant red hair, avoiding the dainty gold adornment encircling her locks. He dragged in lungfuls of her intoxicating scent, feeling a sneaking suspicion that he’d just managed to change things between them drastically.
    The
