Cat Scratch Fever Ch. 9

  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Shame and desire mingled hot in Jadyn’s throat. Felix’s head rested between her thighs, her ankles no longer bound. Instead her foot traced along his spine to his perfectly marbled ass as he serviced her pussy. He stroked, licked and flicked his tongue, teasing her sensitive petals, tasting her sweet candy well while his nose rubbed against her throbbing knotted bud. 

Jadyn strained against her binds on her wrists. Before she struggled so violently that she developed rope burns. Felix had cursed and replaced them with neck ties. He had to sneak back into the city to get them and then straddle Jadyn’s wriggling hips while listening to her curse and spit at him. Felix only responded with a smug grin then impaled her on his hot iron length turning her cries of insults into screams of ecstasy. 

“If you behave I’ll remove the binds on your wrists,” he murmured huskily in her ear as he rode her between her thighs. “Though I have to say I find you fetching tied up in my bed.”

For the past 2 days Jadyn had been his prisoner/ sex toy. When she had to go to the bathroom or walk around to just stretch her muscles he was there hovering. The bathroom he gave her some privacy to do her business and shower but when Jadyn tried to escape out the window Felix had to punish her by keeping her on the edge of orgasm. Whenever she was close Felix would stop, the exquisite torment going on for 2 hours at least until the lion finally let her explode. 

The scratches on Jadyn’s stomach were still scabs but were healing quicker than when she had abstained from Daunte. There were parts of the day where she was so hot for Felix’s touch she was whimpering. Her nipples would tighten and actually hurt. Felix would prowl in with his smug grin and wouldn’t satisfy her until she begged aloud. 

Jadyn’s hips bucked to get Felix further inside her. She felt him throbbing as he stretched her inner muscles. Her thighs wrapped around him, keeping him locked inside until he exploded. Felix collapsed on top of her, a mass of sweat and muscle. The waitress could feel the lion’s rapid heart beat against her chest.

When he tried to leave, Jadyn hugged her legs around him, squeezing her vaginal muscles around his still hard cock and listen to him groan. Felix’s breath labored in her ear as he slowly rotated his hips, his cock rubbing against her g-spot. Soon Jadyn came just as Felix spurted the last ropes of his cum. Felix slowly slipped out, his cock now soft and deflated.  

“Hungry? I made bacon again,” Felix tore off the condom he had been wearing. He thought he was being considerate by wearing them after doing her bare the first time. 

“Never been a huge fan of bacon,” Jadyn miffed. It was one of the first smells that hit her on the first day of her kidnapping. Felix had been paying close attention to Jadyn’s eating habits. “Those BLTs I would make were more for Daunte.”

Felix frowned. Jadyn smirked. She loved to taunt Felix with her past with Daunte. It hurt the lion’s male ego that he couldn’t make her forget about him. He needed her to be completely under his spell but after 2 days it seemed that Jadyn was putting him under a spell of her own. She was becoming a carnal obsession for Felix.

Her aloofness intrigued him. Even after Felix gave her so much pleasure she would pass out, Jadyn would return to being a cold distant statue. The lengths she went to avoid feeling pleasure or having interest in his advances amused as well as confounded Felix. Once Jadyn tried to lie still like a dead fish for an hour hoping Felix would get bored.

“The more you fight it,” Felix warned softly. “The more you will hurt yourself.”

“Nothing hurts me more than you, Felix,” Jadyn retorted, her kissable Cupid Bow lips pale where before they were a flush coral pink.

Felix shrugged yet still it pinpricked his pride. Today he decided to take a leap of faith and untied Jadyn at last. Jadyn’s muscles were deliciously sore from the orgasms and some atrophy. She eyed him suspiciously with her beautiful jade green eyes as she rubbed her sore wrists that still held rope burns.

“If you promise not to run away again,” Felix offered. “I will leave you untied.”

Jadyn stretched, raking her fingers through her maple curls that caught the light of the sun. They had a copper, bronze sheen and Felix wanted to run his fingers through that hair without the restraints to hinder him. 

“Only if you stop making bacon,” Jadyn replied dryly. Felix made a snort of amusement. 

“If you’re hoping for your white knights Daunte and Rafael to save you stop,” Felix grew serious. “Not even Rafe knows about this family property. You’re stuck with me though you must admit I’m not the worst house mate.”

“Fat chance I’ll admit that,” Jadyn scoffed.

Felix chuckled. “There are clothes in the drawer over there.”

Felix left to give Jadyn privacy. Once she had the strength she walked to the shower and washed off the scent of Felix yet where he touched her skin still burned. Her tongue was thick with the taste of nutmeg, heady and almost enough to make Jadyn randy again. She chose a cold shower. 

After her shower, Jadyn looked through the clothes in the drawers of the old dresser. It was elegantly carved with hummingbirds and morning glories painted on the sides of the red wood. It looked like something Jadyn’s grandmother would have had. Inside were old sun dresses from the 90s. She chose the one that was the least revealing, a buttoned up white cotton short sleeved sun dress with lace patterns on the edges. 

The hem stopped just above her knee caps but the top hugged Jadyn’s breasts, enough that she feared her chest would more likely entice Felix and she was still raw from his touch. She would give in immediately. Jadyn took several deep breaths. It was the Heat making her feel these lusty feelings. She wasn’t so weak as to not know the difference. 

Jadyn walked out of the bedroom and followed the scent of eggs being cooked. Felix had taken off his shirt and was wearing nothing but a loose pair of jeans. His taut skin had a golden glow and the glory of his muscles made Jadyn feel achy between her thighs. Why did he have to be so attractive? It would have been easier if Felix were ugly. 

Jadyn pulled a chair back, trying to be quiet but Felix was aware of her every movement. 

“So you don’t like bacon,” Felix turned around with his stunning panty melting smile. “How about eggs sunny side up?”

Jadyn gave a noncommittal shrug but the sight of his golden ab muscles, tightly knotted and flexing with his every movement made the ache between her thighs grow worse. She strained her body to stay where it was and not jump him. She couldn’t wait for the Heat to leave her so she could just hate him and not desire him at the same time.

Felix could smell her arousal anew. He smiled broadly but didn’t let Jadyn see it. For his plan to work he needed her to at least like him and so far his arrogant grins have only served to rile her up. He set the sunny side up eggs on the table before her. Jadyn’s stomach growled loud enough to make her flush with embarrassment. 

Without looking at Felix she devoured the eggs and the potatoes in almost two gulps. Felix sat in the chair beside her watching intently. 

“I like a girl with an appetite,” Felix rested his cleft chin in his big hand.

“I’m never usually this hungry,” Jadyn sipped the orange juice. 

“The Heat increases hunger,” Felix spoke suggestively, his voice like silk against Jadyn’s senses making her shiver. Then she suddenly felt his fingers touch her knee. It was a light touch but it was enough to make goose bumps erupt everywhere on Jadyn’s skin. 

“You own this house?” she asked, trying to distract him. Felix’s gaze dropped to her chest to see the generous swell of her full luscious breasts. He licked his lips. Jadyn swore she could hear the rumble of his purring.

“My uncle does,” Felix’s fingers never stopped playing on Jadyn’s knee. They inched further up but stopped at the hem of her dress. Jadyn’s pulse raced, her throat tightening making it harder to swallow as she felt a tingling in her pussy. “Our family used to use this as a safe house.”

“For running moon shine and illegal whisky?” Jadyn asked, gripping her fork as if she was about to stab him with it. Felix inched closer, too close. He had no concept of personal space as his proximity made Jadyn’s nipples harden into painful pebbles, wanting Felix’s fingers to pleasure them.

“You know your history,” Felix admired, moving strands of Jadyn’s damp brown curls to reveal her white throat. “It was so secret that not every one in my family knew it existed.”

Felix’s masculine scent hit Jadyn like a speeding truck, overwhelming her, wrapping around her to send a delicious heat running through her blood. She had to stay focused. If she didn’t win Felix over then she would never get away. The lion needed to trust her enough to take her back to the city where she could more easily escape.

Felix nuzzled into her throat, his lips sucking on her pulse that raced. A shiver racked her body at the feel of his firebrand tongue tickling her sensitive skin. Jadyn tried to get up but Felix roughly pulled her chair closer to him, his hand on her knee boldly inching up her thigh beneath her skirt.

“Felix…,” Jadyn warned even as a heat teased through her body. The taste of nutmeg grew stronger in her mouth. “What do you plan to do with me if your plan succeeds?”

Felix’s hand stopped just before the juncture of her thighs, feeling the jungle swampy heat made his cock swell. He wanted so badly to touch her there.

“You know I never know where to place my tongue first with you,” Felix murmured against her ear. His husky voice hit the top of Jadyn’s spine and rolled all the way down to her heated core. “In your mouth…” Felix turned Jadyn’s face and licked her lips. “Or in your sweet, candy pussy…” Felix’s fingers brushed her sex drawing a sharp gasp from her darkening lips, she was so sensitive down there. 

“Felix…,” Jadyn took a gamble and placed her hand on his firm chest, feeling the increased beating of his heart. His skin was hot to her touch. Felix’s whole body tensed in sudden need. Her touch was like pure fire and he wanted to feel her skin to skin without the restraints. He wanted to feel her arms around him, responding to his caresses, his kisses. 

“What is it, Jadyn?” he sighed somewhat impatient, his sienna brown eyes glowing with animal need. 

“Your plan,” Jadyn played the weak female that guys like Felix seemed to like. “Will it hurt Daunte and Rafael?” She had to make him think he can win her over. She caressed his face, her thumb rubbing his cleft gently, feeling him shiver. 

“Rafael will be heart broken but he’ll find a new girl,” Felix lifted Jadyn up onto the kitchen table, the dish inching to the side, having it hang precariously over the edge. “I think I’ll start with your mouth…”

Felix devoured Jadyn’s mouth and she let him. The hormones helped. She even moaned at the feel of his sensuous tongue sliding against hers. Felix pressed Jadyn down onto the table, his swollen crotch rubbing slowly against the heat between her legs. The roughness of his denim jeans and the heat she felt from his hard bulge sent delicious electric shocks through her body. 

She even wrapped her lips around his tongue just as her arms draped around his neck and lovingly sucked, getting a fresh blast of heady nutmeg. Felix groaned at the feel of her sweet suction. His cock throbbed with the thought of her doing the same to it.

“And Daunte?” she whispered, her fingers digging into his marbled golden shoulders with each pulse of heat he created with the friction of their sexes. “He won’t just let me go.”

Felix pulled away, almost tearing Jadyn’s top to get at her luscious breasts with firm dark nipples. He took one into his mouth and Jadyn almost fainted from the heat of his mouth. He sucked, licked, and kissed her creamy breast, swollen with her need. Jesus why did he have to be so good at this? She almost forgot about Daunte and Rafael and how their tongues could bring her to such heights.  

God her skin was so soft and warm! And she was responding. Felix wasn’t a complete fool though. Her sudden participation could be the Heat but his lion senses were acute enough to sense that she was working on a plan of escape.

“Daunte will be Daunte,” Felix murmured against her breast. He licked to the center of her breasts and buried his face in her bountiful bosom. Jadyn bit her lip sexily, groaning with desire. She raked her fingers through the lion’s wheat gold mane as he kissed down her fluttering stomach, licking at her scabs that would soon be healed in about two more days. He should hold off but he was entranced by her willingness. 

“Now…,” Felix spread Jadyn’s legs, pressing sweet kisses down along her inner thighs then planting one against her mons. His fingers traced the lines of her heart and flower tattoo on her left hip listening to Jadyn moan softly. “I think I’ll stick my tongue… in here.” Jadyn’s body jolted. Felix buried his tongue between her wet folds, moaning against her lips at the sweet taste of her. 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Daunte threw another glass of whisky against the wall of The Scratch with a deafening roar. 

“What do you mean you still can’t find her???” he bellowed at Rafael and Amos. 

It had been almost three days since Felix had left Rafael that message that he had Jadyn and that he found a solution for peace as well as some revenge. What better revenge than to make Jadyn fall in love with a Baptiste and break LaSalle’s heart?

“We’ve been searching non stop, Daunte,” Amos explained calmly. His amber eyes completely stoic while his mouth was set in a grim line. “Frankly we’ve run out of places to look.”

Daunte charged at Rafael who did nothing to stop his half brother from grabbing his collar and lifting him off the bar stool that crashed to the floor.

“This is all your fault!” Daunte growled menacingly. “You dragged her into this!”

“You don’t think I’ve beaten myself up over it already?” Rafael stated coolly.

“Not enough, no, how about I help you?”

Holland caught Daunte’s fist before it could land a blow, shoving the warring brothers apart before they wrecked the bar as well as each other.

“Fighting won’t find her any faster,” Holland seethed. 

“I had no idea Felix would do this,” Rafael faced the counter, his knuckles turning white from gripping it so tightly, Moira was afraid he would break the wood. “He never gave much of an indication of his interest in Jadyn. He would joke about my interest that’s all.”

“Maybe we should try asking the Baptiste Alpha for help?” Moira suggested for what seemed like the 100th time, but each time they shot her down. 

“Doubtful Mayson Baptiste will help us given the family tension between us,” Amos reasoned with a heavy sigh. 

“Felix and Mayson always got along like brothers,” Rafael said. “If he knows where he is he won’t tell anyone not even me.”

“Then you’re pretty much useless,” Daunte spat at the young tiger. “God if Jadyn is hurt by Felix because of your twisted goal for some imagined vengeance then I’ll—“

“Not imagined!” Rafael recovered some of his bite back now. “Your father betrayed my mother and murdered mine! He never wanted me! But you he loved. He was willing to help my mother to get rid of me before anyone noticed.”

“Sins of the Father eh? Well guess what Salvatore wasn’t that much of a saint either,” Daunte sneered. “My parents told me how he liked to roam around town raping young women and sometimes just roughing up humans for fun. He even tried to rape my mother!” He was met with dead silence. “My father told me. It was while my parents were still dating. Salvatore cornered my mother and roughed her up then tried to force himself on her but luckily my father was there just in time to stop him.”

“You’re lying!” Rafael felt his claws burning at his finger tips. The change was an electric surge through his body. He wanted to turn into a tiger and rip Daunte’s lying tongue from his mouth.

“He’s not wrong,” Amos admitted. “I remember my father telling me all about Salvatore Baptiste’s definition of fun.”

“Jadyn’s father was a beat cop trying to make detective,” Holland spoke grimly. “He would get many complaints and charges from young women Salvatore attacked but because his family had connections the charges were always mysteriously dropped. One shouldn’t speak ill of the dead but Salvatore was every bit the beast.”

“Feel like defending the man now, little brother,” Daunte fired with the sting of sarcasm. “Still think your vendetta is justified?”

Rafael’s fists clenched and unclenched. His tiger claws dug into his palms leaving broken skin with drips of his own blood. He collapsed onto a stool, his face in his bloodied hand. 

“What have I done?” he mourned softly.

Holland was the only one to go to Rafael and place a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

“Mistakes were made,” Holland spoke gently. “We can’t change the past. All that matters is Jadyn. I wouldn’t worry too much. She’s a tough one. She may seem sweet on the outside but piss her off and she’s a wild bobcat.”

Just then Rafael’s cell phone rang. His eyes went wide to see that it was Felix. Daunte almost grabbed the phone out of Rafael’s hand but Moira stopped him freezing him with an icy glare.

“Felix?” Rafael answered.

“Hey, Cuz,” Felix drawled. “Saw your messages. In future 3 voice messages are just as effective as 27.”

“You’ve been gone for almost 3 days what the fuck have you been doing to Jadyn?”

  “Didn’t our aunt tell you about the birds and the bees?” Felix teased. 

Daunte could hear with his heightened senses and wanted to rip the phone out of Rafael’s hand and roar into the device if he didn’t break it first. 

“Is she at least safe?” Rafael tried to remain calm but Felix could hear the tension in his voice.

“As safe as gold in a bank,” Felix chuckled. “You were right about her, Rafe, Jadyn’s a spit fire. I’m almost worn out.”

Rafael couldn’t contain his growl that time. The thought of Jadyn in bed with Felix or anyone made his teeth grind. “I want to talk to her, Felix, now!”

“No can do, Cuz,” Felix tutted. “Jadyn’s still a bit raw and she needs her sleep.” Then Rafael and Daunte detected an edge in his voice. “She’s been asking about you… and the jaguar.” Rafael put Felix on speaker at last so Daunte could tag in.

“Misses me, does she?” Daunte grinned. “Well in your company any woman would get tired and start thinking about other men.”

Rafael couldn’t see but he could almost feel the heat of envy in Felix’s silence. 

“So…,” Felix’s voice was strained. “The brothers united at last. Have you two made up or is this just a cease fire until the war resumes.”

“There’s not going to be a war, Felix,” Rafael confessed and he wasn’t lying. “All I want is Jadyn safe.”

“You put that girl up on a pedestal, Rafael,” Felix’s tone grew hard. “She’s not some damsel in distress waiting in a tower for her knight to come and slay her dragon. In fact, I think she prefers the dragon.”

“Felix, if you don’t let her go I’m going to rip you to pieces and hang a body part in every corner of the city!” Daunte bellowed. 

“There’s the jaguar,” Felix chuckled. “Typical LaSalle. Maybe Jadyn would like a guy who doesn’t fly off the handle every few minutes. Well I gotta go now. Jadyn’s waiting for me, the minx.”

He didn’t even say goodbye. The call just clicked leaving a heavy silence to hang in the air. Daunte picked up the phone then threw it against the wall. It was thrown with such force it was embedded in the wall.

“Too bad this place ain’t insured,” Moira sighed. “Hope you were due for an upgrade, Rafael.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jadyn stood in the shower trying to wash away Felix’s scent. She closed her eyes, raking her fingers through her hair feeling the warm water beat against her. At least this cabin had nice plumbing. It had it’s own water supply from a local river. 

She caressed her belly, feeling the scratches with deep intent. She could feel the Heat ebbing but still her nipples pebbled and core heated with the longing to feel the one who inflicted her with this disease against her to relieve the terrible itch. 

Her whole body tensed when she heard the door creak open. Felix was back. They were too far out to enjoy any wi fi so he had to make his call from his cell phone at least a mile away. 

The curtain was drawn back, Jadyn kept her back to him. Felix’s bulk shielded her from the sun and crowded around her in the porcelain tub. She could smell him, a powerful heady scent of virility that made Jadyn’s blood run hot and her mouth water with its delicious maleness.

“You’re still here,” Felix sounded surprised yet purred with pleasure. Not that Jadyn didn’t think about it. 

“Like I could get away,” Jadyn sighed truthfully. She tensed at the feeling of Felix’s lips searing the side of her neck. His hands explored her curves, caressing her breasts suddenly swollen and heavy with desire. His fingers pinched her sensitive nubs causing electricity to arc from them to her clit. 

“I like your honesty,” Felix murmured into her ear, his lips teasing her lobe. “Though I like to imagine that a part of it was for my sake.”

“Keep imagining,” Jadyn retorted stonily. She took a bar of soap, it smelled liked primroses and lavender. She was about to work it into a lather when Felix took it from her and did it himself.

Jadyn allowed him to wash her body. His expert hands enticed and delighted, massaging circles of soapy bubbles into her fair flesh. The soap made her skin slick. It was so erotic, Felix could feel all of his blood rushing to his groin. 

She could feel Felix’s manhood growing hard against her, slipping between the valley of her cheeks making her go slippery inside at the feeling of the iron length hot against her pink petals. Her hips moved on their own, rotating a grind against his maleness, urged on by his manly groans of satisfaction. 

“You’re a naughty kitten,” Felix purred in her ear as his hands worked the soap into her back. His one arm encircled her waist as if afraid she would slip from his grasp like an over wet soap bar. Jadyn braced her hands against the wall as Felix leaned into her. His hand fluttered over her healing scars then dipped southward to her Venus Mount loving the intimate sigh he heard squeeze past her lips at his touch. “Does kitten like the way I pet her?”

Jadyn bit her bottom lip, suppressing a desperate moan. Felix increased his efforts, stroking her inner lips, the slickness of the soap and her cream making it easier to press his finger into her fiery portal. 

Felix’s breath caressed her skin as he sunk up to his knuckle into her canal, slowly moving in and out, his palm brushing against her engorged knot of nerves. But he suddenly stopped. Jadyn groaned in protest, her hips moving to try and fuck his finger.

“Kitten needs to purr louder if she wants me to continue,” Felix teased softly in her ear.

“You’re a bastard,” Jadyn groaned breathlessly, her hips grinding into his iron manhood. Two could play at this game. She reached around and began to slowly, teasingly stroke his hardness. She felt it jerk in her wet soapy palm, her thumb rolling over the tip. She listened to Felix utter a shuddering moan. 

Instead of giving in, Felix removed his finger from her pussy and continued to wash her. Jadyn stood still allowing the lion to do as he pleased even though her womb squeezed and her pussy was so hot she had clench her fists and bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from reaching between her legs and taking care of the terrible itch herself or worse begging Felix to finish what he started. 

Felix rinsed her body. He lowered himself, crouching behind her, massaging her plump round cheeks. He planted soft kisses on her luscious mounds occasionally pressing his warm lips to her heart and rose tattoo on her left hip. 

“When did you get the tattoo?” he asked curiously even as his fingers began to touch her pussy lips with feathery, teasing touches. He inhaled the perfume of her musk, it was so pungent and heady it made Felix’s cock throb painfully with desire.

“When I was 16,” Jadyn sighed, breathless with need. “Dad wasn’t happy about it.”

“I imagine not. Cops don’t approve of rebel ink,” Felix’s thumb teased her forbidden hole. He felt her tense. He wondered if Jadyn had let anyone else into her tight rose hole. The thought of no one going there excited him. He wanted to be the first.  

“I wanted a tattoo so I got a tattoo,” Jadyn only said. She pressed her forehead against the wall, the warm drops of the shower hit her skin and seemed to create a steam. Her body was like hot rocks in a sauna. 

“Bad girl,” Felix purred. He spread her ass cheeks then drew a long lick against her drizzling nether lips. By God she was so sweet. She reminded Felix of peaches and cream. Jadyn moaned. He gave her bundle of nerves a gentle suck setting off a quiver that made her whole body quake. He lapped at her folds, his licks getting deeper, bolder.

Jadyn reached around when she felt him pull back. Placing her hand upon his head she pushed him into her fiery furnace, telling him without words that she would have her release whether he willingly gave it or not. 

Felix’s chuckle vibrated against her hot lips increasing the sensation. Fire ignited in Jadyn’s blood, her fingers gripping his damp wheat colored hair and listening to his muffled moans and slurps. 

Fuck! Suddenly a wave of white heat hit Jadyn, pulling her into a riptide that made her insides quake and body melt in the aftershock. Felix’s fingers pinched Jadyn’s taut rosebud sending her into another shock wave of pleasure. 

Felix’s cock was hard and ready to plunge deep into Jadyn but he held off. With each new orgasm the Heat would ebb and he wanted to be more attentive to servicing her, making her at least soften towards him in some way. 

He crouched behind her, watching her with his hot sienna brown eyes as she huffed roughly then slowly calmed to a steady normal breathing. The lion planted soft kisses on her cheeks again as the waitress’s pulse settled, her orgasm ebbing. Felix rose up, pulling her towards him allowing her to rest against him until she got her land legs back. Right now they buckled like rubber. 

“Who did you call?” she finally asked. Felix frowned then he couldn’t help but grin. She sounded so casual and business-like. Jadyn was determined not to praise him for his sexual prowess or even show any appreciation. 

“Your boyfriends have made a truce,” he decided to tell her. It wouldn’t make a difference. “They’re worried about you.”

Jadyn felt hope bloom in her chest. So the guys were looking for her. She just had to hold out or try to get Felix to take her back to the city. Felix’s grip tightened on her in a possessive vice. 

“You’re the one who seems worried,” Jadyn casually retorted. “Daunte and Rafael together sound like an unstoppable monster.”

Felix turned off the shower, sweeping Jadyn up then placing her on the furry rug of the bathroom floor. She turned to face him, looking down she saw his erection bold and angry. She could see the veins throbbing for release. 

“That’s if they don’t tear each other apart first,” Felix miffed darkly. Then his scowl turned into a seductive grin that made Jadyn shiver. “Let’s get you dry, Hot Stuff.”

TO BE CONTINUED IN PT. 10 THE FINALE… 

Cat Scratch Fever Ch. 8

  

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Rafael sat dumbstruck. Holland’s words hung in the air, thickening it with disbelief. 

“Want that beer now?” Holland’s silver grey eyes went from darkened storm clouds to light rain clouds. 

“You’re lying,” Rafael spoke quietly. “It’s not true. I’m a tiger shifter. LaSalle was a jaguar.”

“Sometimes the male cub takes after the mother,” Holland shrugged, taking a swig of his cool beer. It tasted less sour than it did a moment ago. He had been holding onto that secret for a few decades and it weighed heavily on him; making everything taste sour, his world dim. Perhaps there’s something to that saying: “The truth will set you free.”

“Why didn’t LaSalle just tell everyone?” Rafael eyed Holland suspiciously. 

“He wanted to… even offered to… have it taken care of… but your mother Celeste didn’t want to force Ray into marrying her when he was already in love with someone else,” Holland sighed. “He was a typical jaguar, Raymond LaSalle, sewing his seeds everywhere until he met that special quiet English teacher. But Salvatore found out eventually when Celeste couldn’t hide her pregnancy anymore. He wanted to force Ray to take responsibility but by then he was already married to Daunte’s mother.”

“Holland—“ Moira walked in but stopped, her cornflower blue eyes lighting on Rafael tied to a chair. She frowned, her cinnamon brown skin growing tight, “Do I even want to know?”

Holland chuckled dryly. Rafael scowled. The young tiger couldn’t believe the story he just heard. He turned to Moira who leaned casually against the doorframe watching him with her blue-green critical eyes. 

“If your boss doesn’t release me,” he warned. “He’ll be starting a war. One that will tear this city apart.” Rafael’s paradise blue eyes darkened into a stormy sea, his sensual lips drawn into a scowl. Moira only stared at him, her full lips pursing.

“And here I thought Jadyn found a nice guy for a change,” Moira sighed heavily, her tone as sharp as her claws that were itching to come out and scratch out those handsome eyes. “I was rooting for you, too. Daunte may be a brute and a son of a bitch but he cares enough about Jadyn to not try and involve her in a family feud.”

That cut Rafael to the quick. He felt a sharp pain in his chest at the thought of Jadyn’s face when they tell her the truth. He’d lose her forever. 

“I’ll explain…,” Rafael was speaking mostly to himself. “She’ll understand.”

“Doubtful,” Moira miffed. 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Daunte watched Jadyn making coffee. Her muscles were tense. If he could see her face he would have seen that it was set in somber contemplation. 

“So…you have a brother… a brother I slept with…,” Jadyn said quietly, a touch of regret in her voice which Daunte noticed but didn’t address. Then she frowned, turning around to fix her jaguar with a baleful stare.

“Where is he right now?” Jadyn asked. 

“With Holland,” Daunte shrugged. “Rafael didn’t know either but he does by now.”

“Where does that leave the two of you?” her face softened a little. Daunte frowned as if confused by her question. 

“Nothing has changed,” he stood up walking towards her. Jadyn backed into the counter, the coffee heating and pouring into the pot, its rich dark scent filling the air but it was overpowered by the jaguar’s natural male musk, virile and seductive. Daunte towered over her, magnificent muscular arms caging her to cut off escape. 

“Everything has changed,” Jadyn argued softly, trying not to look at him. If she looked into those eyes she’d be instantly lost in their amber glow.

Jadyn suddenly felt even smaller, consumed by Daunte’s hulk and unyielding form as well as by his intense stare. He looked every bit the jungle cat when stalking and cornering his prey. Jadyn’s nipples instantly stiffened, reaching, aching for his touch again. Goosebumps erupted all over her skin. Damn it those Heat hormones should be gone by now!

Daunte caressed her cheek, surprisingly gentle. A shiver raked through Jadyn at the soft stroking of his thumb across her cheek. She felt his breath caress her forehead while she stared at his firm broad chest. Mercifully he was wearing clothes but his scent was doing erotic things to her body that made her damp between her thighs. 

“I still want you,” Daunte murmured. Jadyn did the unthinkable and looked up seeing the desire burning in his amber whisky eyes and as she suspected, she was lost in them. Then they darkened into the sexual beast she knew him to be, his voice drugging her with its dark carnality, “And I know you still want me.”

Jadyn flushed. How can he tell? As if reading her thoughts Daunte’s other hand caressed her breast, drawing a sensual sigh from her lips with a gentle squeeze. Then the hand descended, taking its time to feel the heat of her skin through her cotton shirt until  he came to the apex of her thighs and cupped her pussy that drizzled at his hot touch.

“I can smell how much you want me, Jadyn,” Daunte growled low, pulling her against him. Jadyn pressed her hands on his chest and could feel the rapid beating of his heart. His masculine musk overwhelmed her senses. “I could always smell you. Flowers in summer time. Your in my nose now, Jadyn. I’m afraid I’ve become addicted to it.”

“Since the Heat is fading maybe we should stop,” Jadyn suggested softly. Yet pressing her nose into his chest she was surrounded by his heated musk. While the scent of her did erotic things to her the feel of him was much worse.

Daunte wrapped his strong arms around her small curvy form, feeling her breasts pressed against him, their thighs tightly squeezing together. He buried his nose in her hair smelling the sunflower shampoo again, the floral scent making his cock jerk. 

In one sudden motion, Jadyn was lifted onto the counter, her legs spread and pussy pressing against Daunte’s angry bulge. He placed his hands on her hips, keeping a tight grip as he ground against her heat. Jadyn uttered a small sigh that was music to Daunte’s ears.

“Are you sure you want to do that?” Daunte murmured against her lips. Before Jadyn could answer, the jaguar claimed her with a sultry kiss. Their lips molded together, gently sliding against each other until the waitress’s trembling hands took hold of Daunte’s face and slanted her head, pushing her tongue deep into his mouth.

A rush of passion flooded him. The animal within him became more aggressive, lifting her thighs to help wrap them around his waist as he ground harder into her Venus mont. They tasted each other’s essence from earlier and were intoxicated by the exotic flavors.

“How can I ever trust you again, Daunte?” Jadyn broke the kiss, her lips swollen and tender yet hungry for more. 

Daunte’s whisky eyes grew soft. His whole face became less animal and more tender. Holding her close in a protective embrace, his hand caressing her cheek he whispered, “You can trust that I would do anything for you.”

“Why?” Jadyn searched his eyes. Truthfully she didn’t know what she wanted to hear. Rafael’s confession of crushing on her for years got her into bed but she didn’t really examine it properly. Daunte had been part of her carnal obsessions for a few years now. He still was. Even during the Heat Jadyn craved something more than his body. But did Daunte feel the same?

Daunte saw the doubt on her face. He wished he could hear what she was thinking. He couldn’t lose her to Rafael. Not to anyone but especially not some long lost brother bent on murdering him.

But before Daunte could answer there was a furious knocking at Jadyn’s door. Daunte growled in frustration, reluctantly releasing Jadyn to answer the door. He wasn’t sure if he wouldn’t murder the guy interrupting them. But it wasn’t a guy it was Moira, glaring at him with her judgmental blue-green eyes.

“What is it, Moira?” Daunte bit out. 

“I didn’t come to see you, Meat Head,” Moira snapped. “Jadyn?”

“I’m here, Moira,” Jadyn quickly stood between her hissing co-workers. They reminded her of alley cats that had just gotten in each other’s way, hairs standing on end, growling and claws at the ready. Moira’s face softened a little when she saw Jadyn.

“He hasn’t scratched you again, has he?” she asked in a tone that hit Daunte’s ear like an angry note on a violin. 

“No what’s going on?” Jadyn answered before Daunte could bite back.

“I thought I’d bring you to The Scratch before a war breaks out,” Moira explained. “Felix has been snooping around the place claiming Holland and Meat Head here have kidnapped his cousin and is bugging Amos with threats of retribution.”

Jadyn quickly got dressed wearing cut off denim shorts and a new red t-shirt and put her brown hair up in a pony tail. Daunte trailed behind grumbling. Moira was about to call a cab when Daunte pulled Jadyn on behind him on his motorcycle. He sped off before Moira could hiss at him.

Jadyn wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, the thrill of speed hitting her stomach with rabid butterflies. Her face and breasts pressing against Daunte’s muscular back she could feel him tense and even chuckle deeply. 

“Not a fan of speed, Kitten?” Daunte called over the roar of the engine.

“I’m a fan of seat belts!” Jadyn fired back. When they veered right, her grip tightened. 

“Squeeze as tight as you want, baby,” Daunte grinned. “I love the feeling of your arms around me.”

Even through the fear, the feel of Daunte’s body against hers made Jadyn’s body react in a sexual way. Her nipples tightened and heat pooled between her legs. The vibrations of the engine didn’t help matters. She might have moaned but it was drowned out by the motorcycle and the beeping of passing cars.

How can she quit this body cold turkey?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jadyn had closed her eyes even when they stopped. Daunte didn’t say anything only watched her with an indulgent expression. Her face buried in his back he could feel the heat of her sweet breath through his shirt and his blood ran hot with sensual feeling.

“You can open your eyes now, Jadyn,” Daunte chuckled. 

Jadyn slowly opened one eye, looking up to see the jaguar watching her with laughter in his whisky eyes and a bemused yet still sensual grin. She cleared her throat, reluctantly loosening her grip around his broad chest, her palms and fingers brushing against his nipples that stiffened instantly, listening to him suck in a breath at her touch.

The waitress looked to see that they were at the back entrance of The Scratch listening to the music play on the old juke box and people laughing and talking. 

“When did we get here?” Jadyn asked.

“A few minutes ago.”

“Why didn’t you tell me the moment we arrived?” Jadyn scolded him, her legs wobbly once they got off the iron monster. Daunte held her arm gently to steady her.

“I told you,” Daunte flashed her his debauched grin. “I like the feeling of your arms around me. Besides you looked so cute wrapped around me.”

Jadyn punched his arm but couldn’t help but smile at him. Yet they had more important things to do than flirt. The waitress got her land legs back and rushed into the bar with Daunte now looking grim behind her. 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jadyn didn’t even knock when she entered Holland’s office. When her jade eyes rested on Rafael tied to a chair she felt a whole mix of emotions. Relief that he wasn’t hurt, anger for being deceived, hurt that Rafael used her. 

Rafael’s paradise blue eyes rested on her and she could clearly read the emotions on his face. Regret yet still the fire of want burned in his eyes. Jadyn didn’t know if she still felt the same.

“Untie him,” she said.

“He stays tied until we get this settled,” Holland stated a slight slur in his speech. Jadyn saw that there were five and half empty beer bottles on his desk. 

“I’m not happy about it either, Holland,” Daunte said behind her. “Felix is snooping around and Amos can’t hold off his threats of war for long.”

“He still means to kill you, Daunte,” Holland persisted angrily, wobbling a bit when he moved to slam his hand on his desk. The beer bottles wiggled from the force. 

Rafael’s eyes went from Jadyn to Daunte. She noticed with a chill the change in his eyes from fiery blue to ice cold steel filled with evil intent. 

“It doesn’t matter if we share blood or not,” Rafael stated coldly. “Your family needs to pay for its sins.”

“Leave me alone with him,” Jadyn asked. 

Daunte glared at Jadyn but she glared right back, flaring jade green clashing with fiery amber. The jaguar relented and helped a half drunk tiger to his feet.

“Get him a sandwich or something to soak up the alcohol,” she sighed. The door closed and they were alone. Jadyn leaned against the door just watching him. Her expression unreadable.

“I know you have questions,” Rafael spoke slowly. 

“Daunte answered most of them.”

“That’s his side of the story,” Rafael pressed.

“And what?” Jadyn scoffed. “You’re the good guy? The white knight in this story and Daunte’s the evil black knight burning villages to the ground?”

“Jadyn—“

“Was it all a lie? Us?”

“No!” Rafael claimed fiercely, almost breaking the ropes that dug into his skin leaving burn marks. He had such a handsome face. So handsome it hurt Jadyn to look at him. She wanted to believe he was a good guy…

“I never lied about my feelings for you,” Rafael’s voice was thick with emotion. He was pleading for her to understand. He wanted to reach into his pocket and stroke the soiled green ribbon which always calmed his nerves but his bound wrists prevented that. “That has always been the truth.”

“What was your plan?” Jadyn grew cool, business-like. “How was I involved?”

Rafael heaved a heavy sigh, going slack in his binds. 

“I was going to provoke Daunte into challenging me to a duel de sang and kill him in revenge for what his father did to mine.”

“You have the same father.”

“A father who’s just a name to me!” Rafael snapped. “A man who offered to abort me to save his own reputation! He’s the man who took everything from my family and chased us out of town!”

Now Jadyn sighed heavily, her face in her hands and rubbing her eyes then her fingers raked through her hair to her pony tail. Rafael’s fingers itched to replace hers in her maple brown tresses. The memory still fresh of how soft as satin they were. He could still smell her sunflower shampoo on his fingers before he was captured. Her scent had clung to him as he wanted to cling to her now. 

“Jadyn, you have to let me go,” Rafael pleaded. “I’ll explain everything—“

Jadyn held up her hand to stop him. 

“I’ll convince Holland and Daunte to let you go but you and I are done,” Jadyn said sadly yet firmly. “Daunte may have scratched me with the Heat but he’s always been honest with me. He never used me like you did.”

“Jadyn, wait!”

But Jadyn was out the door. She really liked Rafael. She thought he was a nice guy. She saw herself maybe having a future with him. Eventually she would have had to choose between Daunte and Rafael but that choice seemed obvious now. Yet she still felt a quivering in her nether regions as she remembered Rafael’s touch, his lips, his body pressing against her as he filled her to give her toe-curling orgasms.

 The waitress felt like her heart was made of lead, her chest tightening making it hard to breathe. She needed some air. Just a few minutes then Jadyn would go back inside and knock some heads together to stop this stupid family feud from painting Baton Rouge red.

Jadyn stepped outside. Before her foot even hit the bottom step something swept her up in a suffocating embrace. She couldn’t see their face, her back pressing hard against their front and her ass wriggled against… a growing bulge!

“Shhhh, princess,” a dark voice chuckled, a familiar voice full of charm. “I just need your help.” 

Jadyn tried to scream but a big hand covered her mouth. Suddenly she felt a sharp burning pain on her stomach like someone was cutting her with tiny knives. She managed to peer down to see claw marks, streaking and bleeding red across her stomach. She struggled even more as the hormones hit her in a white hot wave.

The smell of her attacker filled her nostrils. A pair of lips smothered hers and a tongue shoved its way into her angry mouth and the taste of nutmeg, rich and intoxicating filled her. The nutmeg coated her tongue and a dark need consumed her. 

No no no no NO! Not again!

Jadyn struggled violently until she felt a small pinch in her neck then the whole world went black.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

Daunte was tired of waiting for Jadyn to come out of Holland’s office. Holland was sitting on a stool at the bar while Moira was coaxing him into eating a salami and cheese sandwich with fresh tomato and lettuce. But once he walked into the office he found only a sulking Rafael. The tiger looked up, expectancy turning into cold hard disgust.

“Jadyn convince you to let me go after all?” he brooded.

“What are you talking about?” Daunte’s muscles tensed, the hairs on his body standing on end as his animal senses began to fear the worst. “She’s been here for the past 20 minutes.”

Now it was Rafael who was confused. Then he was suddenly gripped with fear and anger. Something happened to Jadyn and both brothers knew it.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jadyn was swimming in blackness but slowly she felt a light begin to thin the thick darkness. The taste of nutmeg was bitter on her tongue. Her body felt hot, a familiar heat that made her pussy itch and her skin become sensitive to everything. 

She woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Smells hit her like a soft slap. Pine needles, smoky wood and… bacon? Sounds that were muffled became clearer. Birds singing and cicadas hissing their nature song. The sun was beginning it’s descent filling the room with golden light, keeping her warm…

Then there was a rumbling growl that Jadyn felt vibrating in her bones. She tried to move but found herself tied down. Not just tied down but naked! She lifted her head but it was like someone embedded an axe in it, the migraine hitting her like a train. Then there was that growl again. 

She instead moved her head to the side and her eyes widened in fear to see a big golden lion with a tawny mane and large gold eyes prowling into the bedroom. It pounced with powerful lethal grace at the foot of the bed where it sat on a chest. 

The beast watched her with predatory eyes of liquid gold that made Jadyn tremble and her pussy grow wet with heat. He gave her naked vulnerable body a bold, sweeping gaze and licked his furry lips with his big pink tongue.

“Who are you?” Jadyn demanded. She knew it was a shifter. There was an intense intelligence in its eyes that made it different from any ordinary lion. The lion made a noise that sounded almost like a chuckle, a deep sound that made Jadyn tense. 

The lion slowly crawled forth until he was standing over her body completely. Jadyn struggled again, her fighter instincts kicking in as the headache ebbed. She felt the soft bristles of the lion’s swishing tail and her body was racked with a hot shiver. She bit her lip against the pleasurable shock of the creature’s touch.

“It’s true what Rafe says,” she heard a seductive dark masculine voice above her. “You’re pretty fierce.”

The lion morphed before her eyes into a large, muscular and powerful male with knotted golden muscles that made Jadyn’s mouth water. She looked down the length of him and saw his impressive cock, erect and full swinging slightly between his powerful thighs. 

Jadyn’s womb clenched in primal need at the sight of it. She could swear she could see it pulsing with the raw lust she saw in the lion man’s sienna brown eyes.

“Who the fuck are you?” she growled. The lion man caressed her cheek, the touch sending electric sparks to her nerve endings. Her nipples began to stiffen, a heat teasing over her skin from the small contact.

“You sound much sexier in person, Jadyn,” he crooned. 

His hands explored her body with free abandon. He slowly caressed her full breasts, smoothing down her ribcage to her shapely hips. His hands then cupped her luscious cheeks and his fingers dug into them with a smug smirk on his handsome face as he watched her body arch towards the ceiling and chew on her bottom lip as she felt his length stroking along her feminine lips.  

“With an ass that I’ve always wanted to bite into. You mean you don’t recognize me, Jadyn? I know it’s dark in The Scratch but I would think a waitress would remember heavy tippers.”

Jadyn tensed. This time she really looked at him. He had perfect angular features with thin yet sensual lips, a cute cleft chin, a straight nose with regal cheek bones and laughing sensual light brown eyes that would make any girl melt. His wheat hair was glossy and shined in the sunlight like fine gold and Jadyn couldn’t help but want to run her fingers through it and grip them as he gave her pleasure.

“Felix?” she shook her head, trying to fight the desires that burned in her belly right now. Felix gave her a salacious wink, his hands never breaking contact with her skin, smoothing over her round, quivering thighs. His gaze dropped to her pussy lips, dark pink and glistening. He licked his lips, his eyes full of dangerous hunger.

He lowered his head and with the soft caress of his lips kissed her navel. Pleasure stabbed at her core from the heat of his mouth, his tongue so tender but with bumps to give it a rough texture digging into her belly button sent electricity arching to her clit. She whimpered feeling the head of Felix’s cock angle just enough to directly stroke against her bundle of nerves.

“Hello, Jadyn,” he cooed, his eyes now straying to her angry yet trembling lips. “I always wondered what these lips would taste like…” He ran his thumb over her lips. He laughed when Jadyn tried to bite him.

“Where am I?” she asked trying to distract herself from the Heat that consumed her body that would soon cloud her senses.

“Family cabin,” Felix brushed his lips against the curve of her cheek, watching as it flushed under his touch. She was most becoming when she blushed. “Far outside Baton Rouge away from civilization. So don’t bother trying to scream for help. Soon you’ll be screaming for a different reason…” His salacious grin of confidence made Jadyn’s womb clench as well as sending her mind into a slight panic.

“Let me go, Felix,” she demanded, making the bed creak with her struggles. Her face was drawn in angry lines and Felix wanted to change that, make it a face aflame with ecstasy.

“No can do, Jadyn,” Felix pressed his weight upon her, his body heat seeping into her fair skin. She could feel his maleness hot like a brand resting against her quivering nether lips. “You’re a part of my plan to save this town.”

“Aren’t you the hero,” Jadyn spat. She had to fight the pleasurable sensations running hot through her blood. His delicious smell wrapped around her making her want to submit and feel that mammoth cock impale her into the bed. 

“I assume you’re up to speed on my cousin’s plan,” Felix purred in her ear, his lips teasing her ear while his hands went to work on her breast, his thumb gently rolling over her nipple that tightened from his light touches. Jadyn began to feel achy between her thighs on the verge of begging Felix to end her sweet torment and fuck her.

“He wants to kill Daunte,” Jadyn gritted through her teeth. Felix nuzzled her throat, planting warm, sensual kisses against her skin making her tingle. 

“His own brother if you can believe it…”

Jadyn looked at him in shock. Felix smiled back, like the Cheshire Cat speaking his twisted riddles of nonsense. 

“Oh yes I know,” Felix grinned. He felt her breasts begin to swell. His hand rested on her belly, stroking the claw marks he made in her flesh. “So smooth… like satin.”

Felix lowered his head and blew softly on her sensitive nub, so tight it hurt. With soft licks he rasped against the taut bud feeling Jadyn shiver, hearing her soft tortured groan. Felix gave the nub some light sucking, his cheeks hollowing, tormenting Jadyn with a methodic rhythm of suction that was driving her wild. His moans vibrated against her skin making her arch more towards him against her wishes.

“How does kidnapping and raping me save the city?” Jadyn’s wry tone of derision amused Felix. 

Most women he knew were begging to be taken to bed by him. He had always crushed on tough waitress Jadyn Sommers despite his cousin’s school yard crush. Rafael failed to see the woman the girl with the green ribbon and kind heart had become. She was a woman who liked it rough and dirty, which was why she was so drawn to a brute like Daunte LaSalle.

“Rape is not what I intend,” Felix murmured huskily against her bosom as his hand traveled down to gently stroke her delicate lips. “The Heat makes you want me, Jadyn.” Jadyn tensed then melted at Felix’s stroking fingers. “You can curse at me all you want but I promise by the end you’ll be begging me to take you even after the Heat is gone.”

“That still doesn’t tell me what your plan is to save Baton Rouge,” Jadyn shut her eyes tight, not wanting to fall under the spell of Felix’s deceiving magic eyes so passionate and hot that with the Heat she could fall into them and never come out.

Felix parted Jadyn’s lips, finding her budding clit and working it with his practiced digits. Electricity arched through Jadyn’s body, an intense heat rushing through her blood as Felix tormented her bundle of nerves with feathery soft touches and circles about the throbbing nub. Her hips bucked in response. She chewed her bottom lip to stop the moans that bubbled in her throat. 

“Simple,” Felix’s face hovered over hers, his breath fanning over her lips that yearned to feel him against them. “Taking you out of the equation of the brothers’ quarrel would help lessen the tension between them. Once Rafe sees you happy and sated with another male he’ll become disillusioned of your so called purity that he fell in love with. And Daunte? Well he’d be a problem at first but Amos would rein him in… Mmmmm such a hot pussy and so wet… a man can easily slide into you for hours. Were you this creamy for Daunte and Rafe?”

“Fuck you,” Jadyn growled.

“The only one getting fucked is you, Jade,” Felix teased his tongue over her pink lips. He took his fingers coated in Jadyn’s arousal and with his sienna eyes shining into hers he placed them in his mouth and licked them clean making yummy noises. “Tasty… want to try?”

“You bas—!”

Felix silenced her insult with a tongue fucking kiss that was surprisingly gentle. She tasted her sweetness combined with the rich taste of nutmeg filling her mouth, making her a slave to its essence.

 Her whole body was racked with shivers at the intensity of the kiss. The Heat was quickly turning Jadyn into Felix’s slut. Soon she may be begging for it like he said. But once the Heat had passed she would get away. She could convince Felix to think that he had won. Then she would make him pay. 

“Come on, Jade,” Felix crooned, his hands taking hold of her small round face, poising himself at her soaked entrance. “Let me in, love. I can give you such pleasure that you’ll forget about all the others.”

“You can fuck me, Felix,” Jadyn said coldly with jade eyes shooting icy daggers of hate at the lion shifter. “But I’ll always hate you for it. No matter how good you make me feel I’ll get you back for this in the end.”

Felix’s smile never dimmed yet his eyes seemed to cool a bit at her words and the conviction he heard in them. Still he wasn’t one to dwell too much on the bad. He pushed in slowly, his eyes never leaving Jadyn’s face as he filled her. He groaned at the feel of her. She was a molten velvet fist. 

He was half way in when Jadyn closed her eyes, trying to imagine herself anywhere else or to imagine it was Daunte entering her, that it was his length hot like a brand stretching her sheath. But with her eyes closed she could really feel the fullness of Felix pressing into her with such ease.

Damn! Why did it have to feel so good? Was it the Heat or were the rumors about Felix being a consummate lover true? Felix began to move, rolling his hips to get in as deep as he could. Jadyn’s pussy betrayed her trying to help by sucking him, getting wetter to ease his coming, her clit rubbing against his rippled stomach to add to the sensation. His whole body, powerful and dominating reached something primitive inside her that made her feel shame as much as ecstasy. 

Jadyn came twice before Felix did. He collapsed on top of her, his cheek against her ear, his breath ragged and body covered in a sheen of sweat. She could feel his heart beating rapidly against her chest and her body was lax, completely satiated and she hated Felix for it. At least Daunte tried to make up for scratching her. Felix thinks he can just infect her and she’ll fall madly in love with him. 

Felix propped himself up and stared down at her. A smile curved his sexy mouth as he said, “You’re amazing. We’re going to have fun for the next few days, Jade.”
