Welcome to the Neighborhood (25 page)

Greg buried his face between her legs and continued licking while he pushed his fingers deep inside her. She moaned while wave after erotic wave undulated through her. Each one made her feel alive, human and hungry for more.

“You are an amazing woman, Alexandria Cartwright. I could never tire of this.” He inserted a third finger and brought his kisses up to her bellybutton. “I love the feel of you. I love the taste of you. I am about to burst by the mere thought of being inside you.”

He brought his kisses to her breasts, then took one of her heard pearls into his mouth and sucked on it. She felt invigorated and ready for another orgasm. Anticipation grew again as he slid his fingers in and out and thumbed her clit. Although she enjoyed every second of his caress, she longed for him to fill her with the hard muscle touching her leg.

She ran her fingers through his soft hair. “Greg.”

He tugged her nipple between his teeth before releasing it. Tingles of longing thrived within her body from the cruelty he inflicted upon her.

“I want you,” she said.

He kissed her other breast and rubbed his erection against her leg. “Since the moment I met you, I wanted you. I can make you happy, Alexi, if you give me a chance.”

Gazing into his eyes, she saw truth, honesty, and love. Qualities she thought she’d never find in a man. Every word, every look and every touch was genuine. It wasn’t lust, but sincere affection. For the first time in her existence, she was willing to take a chance and give her heart to a man.

Greg pushed his fingers deeper, then withdrew them and massaged her nub. Her yearning for him escalated. He slithered his body over hers then pressed his lips to hers and ignited a new round of kissing.

Alexi gripped his hair as his fast beating heart vibrated against her chest. His warm body, the needy kiss and his massaging touch steadily brought her to the edge of another climax. He was pure life, love, and energy. He made her happy, made her feel alive. She had to have him.

She parted their lips. “I want to feel you inside me.”

“Are you sure?”

She arched a brow. “Are you asking?”

He kissed her hungrily, then lifted his body. “I’m more than happy to honor your request.”

She smiled as he reached down and lifted her leg over his shoulder.

“If it hurts–”

“I don’t care. I want you, Greg. Now!”

He thrust his tongue back into her mouth, then brushed his erection between her wet folds. Excitement rushed through Alexi, even though she knew sex would hurt at first since she hadn’t had it in such a long time. Hell, it would hurt regardless given the sheer largeness of his cock. But in the end, she would enjoy it and the fact that she was sharing the intimate moment with Greg made it all the more pleasing.

Having positioned himself at her entrance, he slowly pushed his solid shaft inside her. As he stretched her inner walls, she felt a slight bit of discomfort but pleasure overruled it. He lifted his hips and in one swift motion, he thrust deep inside her. Sharp pain shot through her. She tossed her head back, hit it on the ground and shrieked.

“Do you want me to stop?”

She grabbed hold of his face. “No, don’t you dare.”

This time she claimed his lips and commenced the next round of fervent kissing. While he held her leg, he slowly withdrew his thick cock, then buried it inside her. Obsessed with pure need, she stroked and sucked his tongue until he became short of breath. His heart pounded and sweat rolled down the side of his face. He stretched and filled her as he pumped into her again and again. She moaned as passion burned in her body and had never felt better.

Greg drove his hard shaft deeper and quicker inside her. Flesh smacked against flesh. She raked her nails down his back and matched his movements. Her body and soul hungered in a way it never had before. She craved him, wanted him to make love to her for eternity. He pounded into her and in the position he held her, he hit her G-spot and rushed her toward another orgasm. She was in ecstasy and never wanted it to end.

His feverish body heated her from the inside and out. She couldn’t believe how hot he felt and wondered if he might burst into flames. Amazingly, his zeal increased. Did he yearn for her as much as she longed for him? Although his breaths were heavy, he met her lips and flicked her tongue. She loved the electricity he gave her, the zings of excitement that raced within her from each powerful plunge. She groped his strong butt cheek and dug her nails into his flesh. He groaned and thrust into her hard enough that she gasped.

“Bite me, Alexi.”

She hesitated as she gazed into his beautiful blue eyes.

“Bite me. I’m about to burst.”

Although he’d roused her hunger for blood, she hadn’t considered feeding from him. She cared for him and didn’t want to hurt him. But a bit would make his orgasm stronger.

“Please?” He breathed out.

She licked her lips and he kissed her. Then he kissed her chin and neck. Surprising her, he nipped her jugular. A jolt of pure desire shot through and triggered her orgasm.

The sweetest waves she’d ever felt rolled through and her fangs descended.

“Oh, Alexi.”

As he drove his cock into her, she gripped a handful of his hair. In a blink of an eye she found the vein she needed and sank her canines into it.

Greg groaned loudly as his orgasm came alive. His cock throbbed vibrantly while warm fluid spilled into her mouth and between her legs. Her inner walls clenched his shaft and remained strong. His blood fueled her and prolonged the heavenly spasms, hers and his if she guessed right. When his heart slowed by a single beat, she forced her fangs to retreat and sealed the two spots on his neck with a roll of her tongue over them.

Breathing heavy, Greg pressed his forehead to hers. “That was…beyond amazing.” He kissed her tenderly while his cock hammered at her inner walls.

Incredibly blissful and fucking erotic were her choice of descriptive words in addition to amazing. Having fed from his blood, she was ready for more sex.

He slid her leg off his shoulder and wiggled a little as he slid his arms underneath her torso. She wrapped her arms around him and he lifted her from the ground. Holding her, he sat on his knees with her in his lap and his erection still buried deep inside her.

“I hope you don’t think we’re done,” he said.

She brushed his wet hair from his face and smiled. “Are you sure you are up to it?”

A brow rose as he tightened his grasp, forcing her to squeezing her breasts to his chest. “Can’t you tell?”

Sure, he was still hard inside of her, but did he have the energy to go on?

“It seems that is the problem,” she said, grinning.

“It will never be a problem with you. I give you my word.”

She chuckled and kissed him. As for his vow, she believed him.

“I’m a werewolf. I have a lot of energy to burn off, and I can’t think of a better way.”

She started to respond but lost her words when he pumped into her. Desire flooded her body yet again.

“Lucky for you, I’m a vampire.” She raked her fingers through his hair and kissed his lips. “I can last all night and all day.”

As if her words had excited him, he claimed her in a zealous kiss and thrust his rigid cock into her again. His energy and strength amazed and excited her, as did his passion. She drank it all in and craved more. Fortunately, they had several hours before sunrise, plenty of time to fulfill their needs. With such strong yearnings, she easily concluded they wouldn’t waste a second.

Greg stood under the spray of the shower with his head down and palms pressed to the tiled wall. Cool water sluiced the sweat and soap from his skin. Suds gathered around the drain near his feet. He inhaled and for the first time in his life he felt as if he were in state of total serenity. Deep within his soul, he felt peace. He felt complete. No surprise, he still sported a semistiff erection, even in the cool water. He couldn’t help it. The night was one he would remember forever. He’d found the woman he loved and claimed her repeatedly. And she enjoyed every minute.

Alexi consumed his thoughts. He’d made her happy, made her smile and made her scream in bliss. He enjoyed kissing her, tasting her, and touching her. He took immense pleasure in burying his cock inside her. She was tight at first, but once he stretched her canal, he fit snuggly. Every sound she made, every flick of her tongue and every touch of her cool fingers on his heated body sent his need into overdrive and he endeavored to satisfy her. When she’d came and her walls gripped his erection so strongly, he’d wanted to stay inside her forever and savor each spasm. The sexy woman had a passionate heart and soul hidden within her and he would do anything to have her every night. If only he could.

Tilting his head back, he brought his face into the path of the shower. The water pushed aside strands of his hair clinging to the front. The gentle spray soothed him and kept his mind on the woman he loved. Although he hadn’t been gone long from Alexi, his heart longed for her. Obviously, his cock did too. He’d escorted her to her house about a half hour before sunrise, kissed her goodbye, then watched her disappear behind her door. He’d returned to his home and came straight to the shower. He had no idea how much time had passed, but each passing minute away from Alexi was too much.

As the water messaged his shoulders, he recalled seeing her standing near the forest. Her presence pleasantly surprised him and his heart leaped with joy. After the way they’d parted from their date, he’d thought for sure she wouldn’t venture out. Maybe he was finally getting through her thick barriers and reaching her heart.

He hoped.

He hadn’t expected to make love to her for several hours, but after he’d changed and he saw the desire in her eyes, he couldn’t resist. Evidently, she couldn’t either. The night and morning had been beyond spectacular, one he’d never forget. He hoped she felt the same.

Turning to face the glass door of the shower, he forced thoughts of Alexi aside. He was supposed to leave for work, but he lacked motivation to go. Although he felt good, a touch of weariness pressed upon him. She’d bit him twice and neither time had been for long. Still, he suspected his fatigue resulted from the loss of blood. Could he fight the lethargy creeping upon him if he had her in his embrace right now? Damn straight he would. He’d give anything to hold her longer.

An idea popped into his mind. In all the years he’d worked, he’d rarely taken time off, which resulted in a plethora of vacation and sick hours. The office had plenty of other prosecutors to handle cases. Why couldn’t he call in for one day? The idea weighed heavily on his mind.

He shut off the water and grabbed a towel as he stepped from the shower. While he patted the cloth over his body, he stood front of the mirror and took a good look at himself. Drops of water fell from his hair. Towel in hand, he brushed it over his head to soak up the excessive moisture. Then he revisited his reflection. His beard made him look at least five years older. He’d stopped shaving four years ago, seeking a different style. Perhaps the time had come to change again.

He leaned over the counter and examined his face. Alexi had said she liked his facial hair, but he sensed it tickled her. He didn’t want it to bother her even the slightest. Besides, if he didn’t have the mustache and beard, he could feel her soft skin next to his. He’d gain a few years back too. The benefits of removing the hair outweighed any to keep it.

Digging through the drawers, he found the scissors and razors. Minutes passed as he trimmed off as much hair as he could, tossing the thin pieces into the sink. After he’d cut off enough, he lathered foam on his cheeks, chin, neck and above his lip. He shaved the coated areas until only smooth skin showed. Smiling at his revised reflection, he now looked like a man in his midtwenties. His real age. He couldn’t wait to see Alexi’s reaction.

After he cleaned up the mess he’d made, he wrapped the towel around his waist and headed for his room. The sun had started to lighten the sky and peeked through the edges of the curtains. Hearing silence from the room next to his and two heartbeats coming from the one across the hall, he suspected Corey had left for work, leaving Andy and Vanessa in the house. Their steady beats indicated they were probably sleeping.

Greg unplugged his cell phone and dialed his boss’s number. Upon hearing the beep for voice mail, he left a message stating he wouldn’t make it into work. One of the others could fill in for him, just as he had so many times for them when they needed a day off.

Excited by the prospect of spending more time with the woman he loved, he donned a clean pair of slacks and a button-down shirt. At the same time he devised a plan to update her on the search for the thieves in Merrillville, then spend the rest of their time in each others embrace. His growing cock enjoyed the thought of the latter. Not taking the time to button his shirt, he snatched his wallet, phone and house key on his way out the door.

The bright sun hit him as he strolled from the house and onto the sidewalk. Squinting, he peeked up at the sky and couldn’t spot a single cloud. A perfect morning to follow the perfect night he’d had. He crossed his driveway and walked over the grass, heading toward Alexi’s house. The area seemed quiet except for the garage door squealing as it rose from the two-story house across the street, near the cul-de-sac. The home belonged to Mattie, Charley and Olivia.

His heart picked up a few beats as he stepped onto Alexi’s driveway. He couldn’t wait to talk to her again, gaze into her eyes, kiss her lips and run his fingers through her hair again. A twitch in his cock acknowledged it couldn’t wait to touch her too.

He stopped in front of her door and lifted his fisted hand. Light reflected from the lock. Sunlight. He’d have to act fast once she opened the door to protect her from the rays.

Inhaling a deep breath, he rapped his knuckles on her door. “Alexi, it’s Greg.” Even if she were in the basement, she’d hear his voice and surely, she’d open the door. Unless she was sleeping.
