Free Slayer's Kiss: Shadow Slayer, Book 1 by Cassi Carver Page B

he’d told her to stop talking and spread her legs for him.
    Kara almost groaned. “Have you over for dinner.” Every word out of her mouth felt packed with double meaning. But she had to admit, the man-buffet before her did look delicious.
    Kara blushed, not believing the idiotic things going through her mind around these two. With the overwhelming sexual current thrumming through her body, she was going to have to resort to one of Abbey’s emergency backup numbers if she wanted to be able to focus at all this week. “Well, I’d better get going.” She edged toward the door. “See you tonight, Julian.”
    Julian came to her and took her hand. “See you tonight.” Sliding her smaller fingers through his, he brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it gently. The feel of his lips against her skin and the little zap of static electricity it produced made her shiver with need.
    “I’ll walk you out,” Gavin said from behind them, his voice grim. He shouldered past Julian and opened the door.
    Kara didn’t argue as Julian stepped back and allowed Gavin to take her elbow. Once they were outside in the hall again and the door was shut, Kara regarded her would-be one-night stand. “I live next door. I’m pretty sure I can find my way back.”
    Gavin smiled, an intimate grin she’d only seen when they were alone. He leaned over Kara as she stuck her key in the lock, placing his hand over hers as the metal slid into place. “You don’t need him, you know.” He rotated his wrist over hers until she heard the snick of the door unlocking.
    “Huh?” Kara turned to look at him. Was he a mind reader?
    He leaned close to her ear. “Look at your nipples. They’re dying to be sucked. I was in a bigger hurry than I thought to forget something as important as that. I planned to remedy the situation when I woke, but you were gone. Just one little note, Thanks , when I still had your scent on my face. I’m surprised, Kara. You seemed to enjoy it more than that.”
    It was hard to meet his eyes, but she was no coward. “Yeah, I won’t deny I enjoyed it, but I don’t like being the only one.”
    Gavin blinked. “Please tell me you’re joking. You don’t think I loved every second of last night?”
    “Well, to be honest, you seemed pretty…clothed. Not quite what I was hoping for.”
    Gavin leaned into her. “You mean you wanted this ,” he said, rubbing against her slowly, erotically. It was the middle of the day, and he pressed her up against her door where anyone could see.
    Kara’s mouth went dry. Yeah, she wanted it. “Are you offering? ’Cause my answer is yes .”
    Gavin turned his head away with a frustrated growl, leaving Kara feeling like she wanted to scream. “I want to. I just can’t. But I do enjoy you. I want to show you how much pleasure I can give you tonight with my mouth, my hands, my body.” To emphasize his point, he wedged his leg between hers, drew her onto his thigh and rocked into her.
    Kara’s skirt hiked as he rubbed against her mound, and her breath hitched in her throat. She groaned, then quickly glanced down the hall, making sure no neighbors were in view. She’d never wanted a man as much as she wanted Gavin Cross. She pulled his head down to her mouth and put her lips to his ear. “It’s not enough. I need you all of you, Gavin.”
    Gavin was breathing harder, still rocking against Kara like he didn’t give a shit who saw. “I can’t. Please don’t ask me, Kara. Let me show you another way.”
    Kara took his rejection like a slap across the cheek. She reached behind her and twisted the handle, almost falling backward into the room from the weight of the two of them pressing against the door. Gavin stumbled slightly but caught himself as Kara backed through the door and shut it in his face.
    When the deadbolt clicked into place, it sounded like Gavin dropped his forehead against the door. “Give it a chance, Kara. Give me a chance.”
    That was two chances too many as far
