Things That Go Hump In The Night (20 page)

He reached for her hand and kissed it, his lips cool against her knuckles.

"And what about us, Nicole?" he asked.

With a shimmer, his glamour dissolved, and he stood before her in his inhuman glory, dark blue and utterly gorgeous. "Do you think you could ever find me—the
real
me—attractive?"

Chapter 14 – Seducing the Incubus

Nicole stood there and drank in the sight of him, taking in the details of his appearance that she had been too shocked and terrified earlier to notice.

Did she find him attractive?
Oh, hell yeah.

The scales thinned at the base of his throat and smoothed out into pale blue skin over his face. His features still looked the same, with high cheekbones and a strong jaw. His mouth was the same shape, only his lips were now dark blue.

His hair looked unchanged, the glossy black waves tamed in a short, expensive cut. And he still had sinfully long eyelashes, though his eyes had lightened from dark brown to brandy, and she saw that his pupils were shaped like a cat's eyes.

"I'm sorry," he said and began to turn away. "I shouldn't have—"

"Wait." Nicole met his gaze and saw that he had stripped bare for her in a deeper way than just dropping his human illusion.

Gabriel had left himself utterly emotionally vulnerable to her.

She found that as sexy as hell.

Slowly, she lifted her hand to his face and lightly traced the outline of his lips with her fingertip.

He closed his eyes, and she saw him shiver at her touch.

Her wolf stirred.
Ours
, came the silent thought.
He is ours
.

Nicole agreed, wholeheartedly.

"You're beautiful, Gabriel," she told him. "Different...but still gorgeous."

She saw the tension drain out of his body. He had been braced for her to reject him, and that made her feel fiercely protective of him.

"If you're not freaked out by dating someone who turns into a wolf every so often, I think I can deal with
this
." Her fingers trailed down the line of his jaw, then brushed his throat. She felt him swallow, hard. "There's only one problem."

"Oh?" His voice was a ragged whisper.

She smiled and traced a slow spiral in the hollow at the base of his throat, where smooth, twilight-blue scales bordered soft skin. "I think you're wearing too many clothes."

He opened his eyes, and she saw that his eyes were luminous, the oval pupils dilated.

"I can fix that," he said.

Nicole caught his hands as he reached for his shirt buttons. "Let me."

Gabriel smirked and obediently let his hands drop back down to his sides.

Nicole opened the top button of his shirt with tantalizing slowness and worked her way down, revealing hard muscle. He had not altered his physical shape much when wearing his glamour—his chest was still broad, his torso sculpted.

She finished opening his shirt and pushed it off his shoulders.

"Wow," she said, admiring his biceps.

"
Wow
is good," he observed happily, "though I did start to feel hopeful when you didn't immediately run for the hills when I dropped my glamour this time."

"Been there, done that," she said, keeping her tone light despite a stab of guilt. "It would be boring if I did the same thing again."

"It's also easier on my ego if you don't scream and run away twice in a row," he agreed, and she lightly smacked his chest.

"I did
not
scream," she said, leaving her palm pressing lightly against one hard pectoral. "However, the running away...that I'll cop to."

"But you came back, and you're here now, and that's all that matters," Gabriel said, suddenly serious.

"I figured Mark would hunt me down if I just ditched him," Nicole teased. "As it stands, I'm going to have to buy him lunch at Shalimar to make up for tonight."

"And how are you going to make it up to
me?
" Gabriel whispered, his eyes half-closed as she touched him.

"I'm sure I'll think of something." She ran her hand over his chest, enjoying the contrast between the slightly bumpy texture of his scales and the firm muscle beneath. She had noticed before that his skin was cool to the touch.

Letting her fingers skim lightly over his nipples, which hardened instantly, she slowly walked around him, still touching him. She explored his shoulders, his tautly muscled back, and his long, straight spine. She let her hands learn the shape of him and the cool texture of his skin.

"You're making a good start," he said, his breath coming faster.

Nicole completed her circuit and stood before him once more. Her hands dropped to his waist. She touched his belt buckle. "I want to see the rest of you."

"I'm yours," he said simply. "Do whatever you like."

She fumbled at his belt, then unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. Hooking her thumbs under the waistband of his briefs, she pushed them down, letting them fall to his ankles.

Gabriel moved only to toe off his shoes and socks and step out of the crumpled heap of his clothing and undergarments.

Then he stood completely still, letting her look at his nude body.

She admired his long, muscled legs and beautiful firm ass.

His cock was completely erect, rising rigidly from the dark hair at his groin. It pressed against his belly, the blue skin flushed nearly black.

Nicole wanted him. Very badly.

"Yes," said her wolf. Her voice emerged from Nicole's mouth, lower and huskier than Nicole's normal tone. "
Mine
."

Before Nicole knew what her wolf intended, she pressed herself against Gabriel, devouring his mouth, his canine teeth thrillingly sharp as she caressed them with her tongue.

He groaned, and his arms closed around her with almost painful strength as he returned the kiss, his tongue thrusting into her mouth as he pushed his hips against her.

She felt his erection hard against her belly, pressing through her clothes, and she wanted to wrap her legs around his waist and take him inside her
now
. Her pussy felt swollen and ached with the slow throb of arousal.

Instead, her wolf shifted her mouth down to Gabriel's throat, kissing and biting at the smooth, cool skin.

"
Mine
," she growled.

Nicole felt an odd twinge at the base of her teeth just before she bit down hard.

She tasted blood...just a little, thank God, but disturbingly delicious.

Horrified, she pushed herself violently away from him.

"I am
so
sorry. I don't know what came over me," she babbled as she saw the mark she had left on him, dark and round against the side of his neck.

"No apologies," Gabriel said, pulling her back into his embrace. "I liked that. Do it some more."

"
Good
," breathed Nicole's wolf. "
Mine
."

"Yours," agreed Gabriel and tilted his head back, exposing his throat in invitation.

Nicole couldn't resist, but she made sure to keep her wolf—and her teeth—in check as she nibbled her way down his throat to his collarbones, feeling the strong beat of his pulse against her lips.

Her wolf wanted to bite him again, to leave her marks all over that smooth blue expanse of skin, so that everyone who looked at him would see that Gabriel belonged to her.

But Nicole used every bit of control that Mark had taught her and kept a tight rein on her wolf's fierce desires.

Gabriel's breath hitched and his pulse pounded furiously as Nicole worked her way down his chest. His gasp was extremely gratifying when she took one of his cobalt-colored nipples into her mouth and worked it mercilessly with her lips and tongue.

Then she bit him with carefully controlled strength and he moaned, sending a jolt of pure pleasure to her groin.

"I want you," she said hoarsely. "Now, Gabriel. Please."

"Oh gods, yes," replied Gabriel. He knelt and rummaged in the pile of his crumpled clothing, coming up with a condom packet between his fingers.

She pulled her hoodie and t-shirt over her head and felt him unfastening her jeans.

A few moments later, she was standing before him in her everyday plain cotton underwear. Nothing sexy, but at least it was clean.

"Hello Kitty panties?" He asked in disbelief as he reached for her bra.

He smoothed his hands over her breasts before tracing the straps around to the clasp in back and deftly unfastening it.

"Hey, I don't wear my Date Night underwear all the time," she protested. "But if you don't like Hello Kitty, feel free to take them off me."

She grinned herself as he did just that, with gratifying speed. "Nothing against Hello Kitty," he assured her as he drew her down to the couch. "I just like you better without them."

Nicole eagerly straddled his legs, and took his cock in her hand. It was large and very hard, and she couldn't wait to feel him inside her.

She unrolled the condom quickly over his length and guided him between her legs.

The broad tip of his cock pushed into her, and she gasped.

It felt
glorious
as he stretched her wet, deliciously swollen entrance in a welcome invasion that she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Gabriel's hands tightened on her hips, and he stopped moving.

"Okay?" he asked softly.

She smiled down at him.

"Better than okay. You feel so—" Nicole gave a happy sigh and wriggled a little, enjoying the stretch and burn of being joined to him at last. "Great."

His hands slid up from her hips to her breasts as she rocked gently on him, each movement taking more of him inside her. His thumbs circled her nipples, teasing them with bright sparks of sensation as he thrust gently upwards into her.

When he was all the way inside her, she arched her back, enjoying the feeling of being fully impaled on his hard length.

Gabriel kissed her breasts. "Turnaround is fair play," he said, just before he drew her nipple into his mouth, sucking hard until she moaned from the pleasure, then biting down.

Her knees tightened around his hips as she writhed against him, panting.

"I'm going to fuck you now," he murmured, moving to her other breast and dropping light kisses on it as her nipple tightened with anticipation.

"Please..."

And then he did, his hands moving back to her hips as he lifted her, letting his cock slide partway out of her, then surged up powerfully to fill her again.

She cried out with pleasure, her fingers digging into the thick muscle of his shoulders as she responded to his movements, riding him.

She caressed every part of him she could reach, running her fingers through his soft hair, tracing the curve of his ears, stroking the nape of his neck as she knelt astride his lap, her thigh muscles flexing as she rose and fell on his cock, meeting each of his thrusts with her own.

His tongue and teeth continued to work her breasts until both of her nipples were stiff and swollen with his attentions.

The dark mark she had left on his throat called to her wolf, and Nicole found herself touching it, tracing the outline as Gabriel move against her, each wet stroke of his cock sliding against her clit, winding her up to climax.

He seemed to know exactly what she needed, because his movements suddenly became shorter and faster, and the coil of pleasure rapidly tightened in Nicole's belly.

She clutched at him as she fell over the edge, convulsing with a surge of pleasure that made her inner muscles squeeze him in a rippling hold. Nicole had never felt anything like this before, an orgasm that went on and on and seemed to come from her core in powerful waves.

When it finally died away, it left her satisfied but hungry for more.

She sat on his lap, shaking a little with the intensity of what she had just experienced. And aware of the slight chill that moved over her skin.

Gabriel just fed on me
, Nicole realized, and waited for a revulsion that didn't come.

She felt only satisfaction to have shared something important with him.

We want to give him what he needs
, said her wolf.
Because he belongs to us now.

And Gabriel was still hard and still inside her.

"More?" he asked hoarsely.

Nicole nodded.

"Let's change position."

A few moments later, after some playful wrestling, Nicole found herself on her back, her legs draped over Gabriel's forearms as he knelt between her legs and spread her wide.

He dipped his head to her breasts, and just the lightest flick of his tongue against her sensitized nipples made her whimper and arch her back before he entered her with one powerful thrust.

In contrast to their slow and gentle start, Gabriel took her hard and fast this time. She loved every second as he held her wide open and his hips moved in a rapid rhythm, driving her to another climax.

This time, he came, too, and she held him as he shuddered and gasped against her.
