body was on fire now. She needed
something from him, a great deal more than she was getting this way. When he
stiffened and looked down at her, she could see her cat reflected back at her.
Or was it? She heard someone coming and tried to struggle free of him. He
leaned to her ear and nipped before speaking.
“It’s Dennis. He’s not coming in here
but going out. Just be quiet and he’ll be gone soon.” He licked along her
throat again. “As much as I would love to finish this, we have to talk.”
Finish? She looked down at herself and closed
her eyes. She was half-naked in an office with her boss. A boss she didn’t
really like. She grabbed her shirt and pulled it back over her. He let her go
when she unhooked her legs from him and turned around to finish putting her
clothes to right. His chuckle made her turn around.
“This isn’t funny. I would very much
like it if you’d step back. I want to….” She wanted to have him lay her across
the table and take her, but knew that wasn’t the best course of action to take.
When he put his arms over his chest and smiled at her, she found she wanted to
hit him hard enough to knock him across the room, but found she couldn’t.
“You’re not going anywhere until we have
a talk. I want you to come into my office, I’ll order us a big lunch and we’ll
discuss what’s going to happen now.” He reached for her hand and she shoved
both of them behind her. “You have to know that things between us are different
now. I’ve marked you.”
She didn’t know what that meant, and was
pretty sure she didn’t want to know either. When he reached for her again, she
flinched away from his touch. She saw the hurt flare in his eyes and felt a
moment of regret for causing it, but she had to get away from him and think.
She said the first thing that came to her.
“You have to leave me alone. I’m not
what you think I am.” He grinned bigger and nodded. “I mean I’m a woman like
you see, but there’s more to me than you see. And I’m being followed. You can’t
want to get involved even if it’s just a one night fuck because these people
will hurt anyone they think are close to me.”
“Does it have anything to do with the
fact that you’re a panther?” Her body froze and her blood felt as if it stopped
flowing through her body. He touched the place where he’d bitten her and ran
his finger over her breast to her heart. It seemed to skip several beats as he
watched her.
“I don’t know what you’re talking
about.” He nodded once and touched his mouth to hers gently. “You have to stop
doing that. I have…I have a husband and he won’t be happy when I tell him what
you’re doing.”
“You’re not married. In fact, you’ve
never been with a man before. I can smell your virginity on you like a sweet wine.”
His mouth moved up her chin to her lips, where he suckled the lower one into
his mouth before he continued. “You have no idea how much I’m going to enjoy
making you mine.”
She felt her cat purr and he raised his
head to look at her. She had to get away from him, now before it was too late. Jonny
shoved at him and he took a step back, then another. She moved toward the door
and he followed her, not touching her again.
“I’m not feeling well. I have to go home
and….” She grabbed up her bag and put it on her shoulder. She felt as if she
wasn’t really there, that someone else had taken over her body and was speaking
for her. She turned to look at him, unsure why she wanted him to take her into
his arms.
“You can’t hide from me now. If you
don’t come to work tomorrow I will find you, and if there’s anything that even
resembles a bed, I’m going to take you on it. You’re safer here at work, where
I can’t do all the things I want to do to you because of the people here. Do
you understand what I’m telling you?”
She nodded, then shook her head. “You’re
scaring me. I don’t know what’s going on, but you’re scaring
something from him, a great deal more than she was getting this way. When he
stiffened and looked down at her, she could see her cat reflected back at her.
