What the hell? Lauren felt hurt as well as shocked. She’d offered him her body but he’d preferred to masturbate. Was he too good to enter her? Was she not attractive enough? She fought tears. She knew the guy was hot but she still thought he wanted her since he’d nearly attacked her with his mouth.
She rolled over and yanked her shirt down to cover her body, which he must find unappealing to reject it. She heard the shower turn off but kept her back to the bathroom while fighting tears. The guy would rather touch himself than make love to her. It was devastating to her feelings and her pride.
A minute later he walked into the bedroom. “I’m sorry.”
Lauren wiped at her tears and turned her head. He had a towel wrapped around his waist again. The look on his face was grim as their gazes met.
“Why are you crying?”
She hated the sound of pain in her voice. “You would rather jack off than enter me?”
He blinked. “I would never enter you. I would hurt you and I’d never risk causing you pain.”
Confusion hit her hard. “How would you hurt me?”
He moved closer, cautiously, and crouched next to the bed. The look in his eyes softened. “I am larger than your males and rougher. I would hurt you, Lauren. I would be too violent and take you too hard. I will never enter you or make you suffer my body inside yours.”
Lauren didn’t even know what to say to that. She was speechless. She finally found her voice. “Then be gentle.”
He swallowed and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “I don’t have that kind of control or trust myself that much.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I know but I do this to protect you. I will never hurt you, Lauren. Never.” He blinked. “I would like to hold you and sleep with you in my arms. May I?”
She grappled to understand his logic but the main point was that he wanted to sleep with her. She nodded. The guy wouldn’t f**k her but he’d engage in o**l s*x. He was really good at it too. He was afraid he’d cause her pain and she could understand why it might be a concern. His c**k was large. Maybe he’d hurt a woman before because he was so well endowed. She’d always heard bigger was better but she figured it just might hurt.
He smiled. “Thank you. I would enjoy holding you in my arms. Let me put on boxers.”
He stood, spun, and opened a drawer to grab a fresh pair of boxers. He just dropped his towel this time, kept his back to her and she got to view his great ass again. She watched him bend as he slipped on the boxers. His dark gaze locked with hers when he turned and slowly stalked closer to the bed. It was majorly sexy to see him move that way, something almost primal, and she remembered he wasn’t completely human.
Wrath reached out to her when he paused at the edge of the bed and she put her hands in his. He gently pulled her to her feet. He smiled and released her to ready the bed for them by pulling down the blankets. Lauren didn’t mention that they were going to have a problem fitting on that bed together unless they were really tangled together in the limited space. Wrath turned her.
“Take off the shirt. I want to see you and touch you again.”
She hesitated but Wrath didn’t. He reached for the shirt and slowly pulled it over her head. Lauren felt self-conscious instantly as she stood na**d in front of him. His heated gaze lowered and slowly slid down her body. A soft growl rumbled from his parted lips. His eyes met hers.
“Lie down for me and open your thighs. I want to taste you again.”
Her heart missed a beat, stunned that he wanted to go down on her again. Oral sex meant tasting to him? She made a mental note of that but moved to lie on the bed flat on her back. Nervousness struck at being completely exposed to his view but he didn’t seem to notice her excess weight, judging by the way he quickly took a seat on the edge of the mattress. One hand curved around her inner thigh, pushed them apart, and he twisted his body to face her as he lowered to get closer. Another one of his sexy growls filled the room and she was learning fast that it meant he was turned-on.
Lauren closed her eyes. It helped her be less self-conscious about her body as his hands spread her open. He licked her and his tongue felt heavenly as he teased her clit. She moaned when he growled, creating soft vibrations over the bundle of nerves. She turned her head when her passion ignited, quickly getting over her hesitation to have him do anything he wanted to her body and she stared at his lap. He sat on the edge of the bed, facing her, as his upper body twisted enough to reach her pu**y. His boxers were raised in the front from the thick erection that couldn’t be hidden.
It was easy to twist her upper body on the mattress and reach out to cup him through the thin, black material. His c**k was really hard as she stroked it. His reaction was instantaneous. His mouth tore away from her pu**y and he snarled when he jerked his head up to meet her startled gaze.
“Don’t.”
“I want to touch you too.”
“That’s not a good idea.”
“Please?”
He growled again as he released her thighs and sat up. “My dick is larger than your males and at the end I swell up. It only happens right before I experience strong pleasure. I will stay swollen for a few minutes afterward. I don’t want to make you frightened of me.”
That news was a bit stunning. “You swell how?”
“I swell up right before I come. I’m different…changed, Lauren. This is one of the ways. It is another reason I will never enter you. I grow thicker around the base of my dick and it would cause you pain and discomfort. If I were inside you when I did that, I could not leave your body until the swelling passed. Our females find this pleasurable but not all of your females do from what I was told.”
