“Anything you want, Chloe. Anything for you.”

Chapter Thirteen
    Chloe
    I was playing with fire . I knew it, I was pretty sure he knew it, but I was doing it anyway.
    A glint of something flashed in Angel’s eyes. A promise? A low-rolling heat ignited in my belly, cascading out and searing through my veins.
    Angel peeled his T-shirt off in a slow tease of skin and rippling muscles, revealing his tanned torso inch by mouthwatering inch. With a flourish, he tossed it over his shoulder. Resting his hands on his jean-clad thighs he stared at me, blue eyes darkening with heat.
    I gave my eyes free rein, my greedy gaze traveling across the wide expanse of his ink-decorated pecs and down to his impressive six-pack.
    “Like what you see?” His voice was a low, husky growl that plucked at my tightly wound senses, sending them into overdrive.
    I nodded, hands itching to reach out. To touch.
    “I don’t bite.”
    I stifled an inappropriate laugh, his words reminding me that it was his biting that had gotten me into this predicament in the first place.
    “Okay, I won’t bite... this time,” he murmured, as if reading my mind.
    It was the confirmation I hadn’t known I’d needed, and my hands flew to him, smoothing and petting, exploring and stroking. The only man I’d ever wanted. Needed .
    Throat tight, I swallowed hard. Maybe this wasn’t a good idea, after all.
    “Don’t stop.” His words were a whispered plea. My eyes darted back to his face, hands still frozen in place.
    Pain etched his brow, white lines bracketing his eyes and mouth. His eyes were unblinking, unwavering, and clear with no hidden agenda. Just silent promises of worship and devotion.
    I needed this. To forget. I was only half-lying to myself. Since Angel had stalked back into my life I’d been fighting a losing battle with my hormones, every cell in my body crying out for my mate. My wolf didn’t understand why we needed to reject him and fought me constantly. I was tired of fighting, of resisting what I knew would feel so good.
    “Okay.” I pulled my top up and over my head.
    Now it was his turn to swallow, his eyes greedily caressing me, burning into me.
    “Are you just going to stare?”
    No sooner had the words left my mouth than he was on me like a man starved of oxygen, his lips finding and sealing with mine, his hands running all over my body, squeezing and molding my curves.
    Pressing me back onto the couch, he licked and nibbled a path down my throat, then onto my chest. A rough finger dipped inside the lace of my bra, teasing my nipple. “Off.” It was a growled demand. A claw sliced out, splitting the lace and tipping my breasts into his waiting hands. Dipping his head, he licked one extended peak, then the other, lavishing each with equal attention.
    Heat shot through me, the tug at my breast mirrored by an insistent tug between my thighs. My legs scissored helplessly, trying to assuage the growing ache. My back arched, thrusting my chest against his mouth, my body’s uninhibited plea for more of his attention.
    “Easy, Chloe,” he murmured, swirling his tongue and then nipping with his teeth. Molten steel danced in his eyes, his wolf peeking out.
    My wolf surged to the surface, dancing and preening beneath my skin. Mate. It was almost a purr inside my head.
    If I was really going to fall down this rabbit hole, then dammit , I wasn’t settling for half measures. “Screw easy,” I hissed out, “maybe I want it hard.”
    A low growl filled the room, sending goosebumps skittering down my spine. In seconds the buttons on my jeans were tugged open. Strong hands flipped me onto my stomach and peeled my jeans from me, hiking my ass up into the air, then deft fingers were kneading my buttocks through the thin lace of my panties.
    My hands scrabbled in the soft cushions, heat flooding my cheeks as he deliberately took a deep breath, his exhale of satisfaction whispering across my exposed rear.
    “Fuck, Chloe,” he groaned, and
