Free Talon/Xavier (Bayou Heat) by Alexandra Ivy, Laura Wright

legs around his hips, her smile smug. “I thought cats were known for their stamina.”
    “Hold on, darling.” Talon lowered onto the chair, the tip of his cock at the entrance to her body. Then, with a slow, ruthless thrust he pushed himself into her damp channel, not halting until his balls were pressed tight against her ass.
    “Oh, god…yes,” she husked.
    Running his hands up her back, Talon sucked the tip of her breast between his lips, relishing her low moan of pleasure. She fit as tight as a glove around him, making him tremble with the effort to wait until she was accustomed to his penetration.
    “You feel perfect,” he rasped. “Ride me, Isi.”
    Planting her hands on his shoulders, she lifted her hips, drawing him out to the very tip before slowly sinking back down, burying him deep inside her. Talon muttered a curse, his hands gripping her hips as he battled against the climax that was already building.
    Dammit. She’d just challenged his stamina. There was no way in hell he was going to come before he was certain she was satisfied.
    But never before had sex called to both the man and cat inside him.
    Sweat gathered on his brow as he concentrated on the mesmerizing beauty of her midnight eyes. The wary suspicion was gone, the pupils dilated as she quickened her pace.
    His hips lifted to meet her downward strokes, his growl of satisfaction filling the air as she leaned down to sink her teeth into the flesh at the base of his neck, drawing blood.
    The air was saturated with the perfume of her arousal, her slender body bowing above him as she tipped back her head and lost herself in the pleasure.
    “Talon,” she cried softly, a desperate edge in her voice as her orgasm neared.
    “Darling,” he whispered. “Trust me.”
    “I…” She moaned in pleasure as Talon tightened his grip on her hips, driving deep into her with an unyielding tempo. “Yes, that’s it.”
    “I have you, Isi,” he swore, his hand cupping the back of her head and tugging her down so he could kiss her with savage pleasure. “And I’m never letting go.”
    Their tongues tangled, their bodies moving together at a frantic pace. Then, just when Talon feared he was going to explode, he felt Isi stiffen, her cry of completion muffled against his lips.
    Talon felt his claws emerge, slicing through the lower skin of her back as her climax clutched at his cock, his hips slamming upward as he unleashed his passion in a flurry of wild hunger.
    His cat howled in satisfaction as his orgasm burst through him, the violent jolts of pleasure radiating through his entire body.
    Realization hit him at the same moment.
    This woman was his.
    His mate.
    His destiny.
    For all eternity.

 
     

CHAPTER FIVE
     
     
    Talon managed to stagger up the stairs with a limp Isi in his arms, his knees still weak from the intense pleasure that had exploded through his body.
    A part of him had wanted to linger in the kitchen. To lay her across the table and eat his dinner off the satin magnolia of her skin before sliding his aching cock back into her body and stroking them both to paradise.
    But a more logical part of him understood they needed to talk before he indulged his ravenous hunger.
    Not the least of which, he had to somehow explain that in the heat of their passion he’d marked her as his mate.
    Yeah. That was going to go over well.
    He grimaced, hoping she didn’t slice off his balls in his sleep.
    Oddly, he didn’t question how he’d gone from considering her the enemy to accepting her as his mate with such ease.
    His cat had known she belonged to him the second it’d caught her scent. It just took the male side of him a bit longer to figure it out.
    Now both were in agreement.
    Isi was his mate.
    And somehow he had to convince her to accept him.
    A task he’d made a hell of a lot more difficult when he’d accused her of being an enemy to the Pantera.
    Entering his bedroom, Talon crossed to the wide bed and gently placed her in the middle of
