   Jadyn had put her phone on silent lest Daunte tried to text or call her with any empty apologies. She had never been to Rafael’s place. It seemed hundreds of miles away as a hot wetness throbbed between her quivering thighs. 

At one stop light unable to stand the masculine scent of him, the feel of his body heat, Jadyn ran her hand along Rafael’s thigh. He shifted slightly in his seat at the contact but kept his tropical blue eyes on the road the corner of his sensual mouth curved upward in mischief. He encouraged her a little by moving his thigh to move her hand further upward. 

Jadyn vibrated with excitement. Her hand brushed his crotch, teasingly causing the tiger shifter to practically purr. Slowly she rubbed his cock through his denim until she felt it swell. The heat of his sex burned through his pants warming Jadyn’s eager palm. She leaned over nuzzling Rafael’s neck, brushing her lips against his racing pulse.

He smelled of leather and spice. She wondered what his kiss would taste like. What his cock would taste like. The thought made her mouth water and pussy throb. Unable to control herself she licked his throat tasting the heat and salt of his olive flesh. Rafael shivered. He could smell her vanilla arousal again mixed with lavender. Her touch and smell were driving him crazy.

The light suddenly turned green. But Jadyn didn’t move.

“If you don’t stop I’ll crash and kill us both,” Rafael growled but his sensual lips were curled in a wicked grin. A car beeped rudely behind them. They were sitting there too long. 

Jadyn shrugged her shoulders coquettishly then slid back into her seat but her hand remained on Rafael’s thigh for the rest of the ride. She squeezed the muscle gently every few minutes and Rafael was reminded of the feeling of her fingers wrapped around his thick pulsating shaft. 

Jadyn rubbed her thighs together to ease the powerful ache. But then they came to Rafael’s apartment. It was a nice building with flower boxes filled with purple and white peonies. It seemed so ordinary next to Rafael who was so not.

Rafael suddenly lifted Jadyn into his strong arms taking her into the alley where she spotted a fire escape. “Hold on,” he purred in her ear. In a flash they were off the ground. True to his cat-like nature, Rafael was agile and graceful jumping up the fire escape, careful not to wake his neighbors. 

Jadyn gripped him tightly, her terror momentarily replacing her erotic need. She hated heights. They came to his floor and like a cat burglar they slipped in through his window. Jadyn sucked in air making a sharp gasping sound of relief.

“What the fuck was that?” she cried out. Rafael placed his hand on her mouth to stop her from screaming louder. 

“Shhhhh,” he grinned. “You’ll wake Mrs. Norris. She’s 85 you know and is a light sleeper.”

“Sorry,” Jadyn mumbled.

“And personally I don’t think you would have waited in the elevator without trying to take my pants off,” Rafael pressed his body against her and Jadyn could feel the swell of his maleness pulsating against her belly. Her belly tightened with desire. 

“Personally,” Rafael’s voice grew husky and low filling the waitress with shivers. “I wouldn’t have been able to wait either.”

Jadyn felt the heat of his breath caress her cheek when he nuzzled her with his nose. The sex-musk was strong on him. She felt Rafael’s body quiver at her touch when she reached under his shirt and raked her nails against his rippling stomach. He let out a ragged breath, his hand caressing her lower back. She felt the heat of his palm burning through her clothes. Heat raced up and down her spine as a tension grew in her abdomen.

“Rafael…,” Jadyn trembled. His lips were dangerously close to hers and she wanted him to lean in and devour her mouth with his hungry kiss. Instead Rafael whispered seductively in her ear, “Strip for me.”

Jadyn cocked an eyebrow still in a haze of the moment. Rafael pulled away, his lips curved into a naughty smirk. “Strip,” he said crossing to the couch and sitting down, his arms spread atop the cushions watching her with animal eyes.

The corner of Jadyn’s mouth curved slightly upward. Her jade eyes darkened with lust as she began to remove her apron which she forgot she still had on. 

“Slowly,” Rafael ordered softly. His gaze was mad with lust, molten with desire yet his body remained still. If she were sitting next to him Jadyn would have felt his body vibrating with intense heat. 

Jadyn watched him as he watched her strip. Slowly, achingly, taunting she removed her shirt revealing the swell of her round bosom cradled in a simple white bra. She moved her body to the beat of music that only she could hear as she felt Rafael’s dark blue eyes caress her with invisible lusting fingers. 

Rafael caught sight of the scratches on her side and an anger gripped him. His knuckles paled with the strain to keep himself from finding that bastard Bartender Daunte and ripping him to shreds. To mark such an innocent to force her to want only him was a coward’s act. 

Yet Rafael wished he had thought of it to his shame. He had seen the way Jadyn had watched Daunte and the jaguar didn’t need to scratch her when she clearly already wanted him.

She wriggled her hips pulling down her shorts. She paused slightly letting him observe her rose and heart tattooed on the curve of her hip. Rafael growled in pleasure at the sight. He loved girls with ink. It seemed so feminine yet one had to be tough to sit through it. 

Jadyn turned around, her back to the shifter as she pulled off her cotton white underwear. She gave Rafael a full view of her round peach ass. Rafael licked his lips thinking about taking a bite out of that nice romp. Playfully Jadyn tossed her underwear to him. It landed in his spread lap. He took the gift in his hand, feeling the moist heat of it, smelling her musk. 

Watching her with the eyes of a predator, Rafael placed the wet fabric in his mouth, running his tongue over the slit. Hot vanilla. He sucked the juices out of the underwear as his cock began to throb. His shaft was so hard he thought it would rip through the seams. It pressed against his zipper and he felt the pain of it.

“Get on the bed,” Rafael ordered tossing the underwear away, his voice a rough growl that made Jadyn’s pussy clench. He motioned towards the door past the small kitchen. With smoldering green eyes Jadyn obeyed. Her whole body felt wired like electricity. Her skin tingled with sensation. 

Rafael’s bedroom was simple as well. She noticed his closet full of leather jackets and a few nice shirts with 2 suits and a few ties of different colors. A classic guitar was carefully placed in the corner under a poster of Queen. His bed was just a king sized mattress with pillows propped against the window. The neon glow of the streetlight was ghostly on the dark sheets.

Jadyn felt the heat of Rafael’s body causing her nipples to harden. His chin could have rested on her head like a table. “Lie on your stomach,” he whispered, his voice was like dark chocolate and full of authority.

Jadyn did as she was bid. She made sure to wiggle her ass in the air as she slid onto the mattress. The sheets were cool against her hot skin. Rafael removed his jacket, tossing it to the side then slowly Jadyn heard his zipper. 

“I thought you said no sex,” her voice quivered a little. Her core pulsed with anticipation. Rafael chuckled deeply. Her round derriere was like a magnet to him. It beckoned Rafael like a siren call.  

“That’s right,” Rafael laughed. Jadyn jolted then made a breathy little moan when she felt his lips press against her ass cheek. She gasped feeling the flat of his tongue against her sensitive skin. Her sex clenched and drizzled feeling the caress of his breath against it. 

“No sex,” Rafael said, taking a playful bite of Jadyn’s round cheek like it was some juicy peach. Her soft cheeks quivered and trembled at his touch. Tortured moans squeezed past her lips, Jadyn was desperate for more. “But I don’t want to ruin my good pair of jeans.”

Rafael never took his eyes off of her as he unzipped his denim jeans. He gave her body a bold, sweeping gaze. Jadyn’s skin had an allure of satin. Her curves bent and trapped his mind filling his head with dark lustful thoughts and plans to make her cry out for him. 

Jadyn’s nipples balled against the mattress as she felt Rafael’s weight press her into the bed. The bed groaned almost as loudly as she when she felt the shifter’s hungry bulge throb in the valley of her cheeks. His lips brushed her shoulder blade and she felt as well as heard Rafael’s growl of want. 

Rafael slowly ground his sex into her womanhood. His breath grew ragged in her ear and Jadyn felt their heat grow into an all consuming passion that threatened to scorch them both. Jadyn gripped the sheets as the need built within her. Rafael nipped at her ear slowing down a little. 

“Turn over,” he ordered.

Rafael rolled off of Jadyn as she turned over to lie on her back. She felt like she was underwater again, her head murky and hard to move in the currents of her overwhelming desire. Sounds of the outside were muffled by the thrum in her ears. 

Rafael pulled off his shirt. He was all sleek muscle and untamed pride. Jadyn sighed at his perfection. Her pussy quivered in expectation. Her skin erupted into goosebumps at the brush of Rafael’s fingers. 

Her musk bloomed at his touch. Rafael breathed in her scent and it made his turgid organ ache. He pressed his maleness against Jadyn’s curvy hip as his hand caressed her plump round breast that fit perfectly in his palm. His thumb lightly brushed her hard nub and he heard her heave a shaky breath. 

Rafael leaned over, unable to resist any longer he took the small dark nub into his hungry mouth. Jadyn practically melted at the feel of his hot mouth and wet tongue flick against her nipple. She bit her lower lip and raked her fingers through Rafael’s short black hair. When he gently sucked on the nubbin she balled a fist in his hair, pleasure lapping at her core.

“Rafael…,” Jadyn whispered his name. She arched her back trying to get more of her breast into the tiger shifter’s mouth. She felt the scrape of his canines as he teasingly rolled the bud between his teeth. He felt Jadyn quiver and her other hand cradle his head, pulling him against her fair bosom. The sound she made fed his hunger.

He noticed on her other breast she had a charming mole on her areola. Rafael licked his way from one breast to the other, kissing the dark mole then sucking the other eager nub into his hot mouth causing Jadyn to melt beneath him. 

His hand meanwhile smoothed along the flat of her tummy. Butterflies fluttered in Jadyn’s stomach feeling the heat of his palm travel south towards the apex of her thighs. She made a begging sound, whimpering for him to satisfy her urgent need.

Rafael raked his fingers through the tuft of hair at Jadyn’s cleft. Ripples of heat pulsed through Jadyn’s veins. She thought she would come just through his teasing. Rafael continued to taunt the silky flesh of her thighs while showering her breasts with tender kisses. 

When his mouth was finished with her breasts Jadyn’s breasts glistened with Rafael’s saliva. The cool air that hit her nipples made her shudder, they were so hard they were just bundles of nerves now. 

“I want…,” Jadyn whispered breathily, her body convulsing, a fire ignited beneath her skin.

“What do you want?” Rafael spoke softly, his fingers lightly stroked her saturated pink petals. He could feel her getting incredibly moist and hot down there. He touched her sex in feathered slow strokes driving Jadyn mad.

“I want you… inside me,” Jadyn begged. 

Rafael made hungry sounds in the back of his throat at her words. He pressed closer, his hard male heat throbbing against the curve of her hip. His balls tightened and filled with cum as he brushed his lips against her cheek. 

Jadyn cried out a little too loudly when Rafael dipped his middle finger into her tender flowery heat.

“Shhhhh,” Rafael admonished playfully. “Didn’t I tell you Mrs. Norris is a light sleeper?” 

Jadyn chuckled and Rafael probed deeper inside her slick channel. She felt so soft and tight. She closed around his finger like a vise. 

“You might have to cover my mouth then,” Jadyn reasoned breathless, her body spasmed feeling Rafael curl his finger inside her as he slowly scratched her walls coming out. 

“Roll on your side,” Rafael instructed. Jadyn loved taking orders from Rafael. She rolled over, the bed groaning from their weight. Rafael wound his one hand behind her neck then gently placed his hand over her mouth. He nuzzled the white column of her neck then his fingers stroked her, sending her into shivers of ecstasy. 

He worked a second finger into her, igniting her. Jadyn writhed against his hand, lost in the pleasure. Her cries of passion were muffled by Rafael’s calloused hand, a construction worker’s hand. It was a hand that knew how to mold and work rough objects and make them into something incredible. 

Rafael’s cock nestled in the valley of Jadyn’s cheeks. His boxers were the only barrier between them, stopping them from truly becoming flesh to flesh. He didn’t trust himself to be completely naked with her just yet.

Jadyn’s hand slid over her hip then caressed his. Rafael felt her delicate yet strong fingers dig into his hip as he pleasured her with his fingers. She wanted to feel his thick cock in her hand again. 

“When that damn mark is gone,” Rafael rasped into her ear. “And you no longer have the Heat I’m going to do what I always wanted to do ever since I first saw you in that short black skirt.” Jadyn shivered against him, the power of his words made her clit throb. “I’m going to plow that tight hot human pussy until all you think about is me and forget every boy, every man who has ever been inside you.”

Jadyn groaned hungrily imagining it. “I want you to come all over my thick cock and scream my name for all to hear that you’re mine.”

Jadyn gasped sharply as a pulse of white heat flashed through her. She was so close. She felt Rafael grinding into her ass with his throbbing male heat and she ground back. Rafael found her slippery, throbbing nub and worked it. 

She could feel it, the pressure building like a boiler but there was someone else there, someone with passionate whiskey brown eyes… Suddenly she heard a crash followed by an animal roar. Rafael quickly stopped, his Persian blue eyes turning yellow and cat-like. Jadyn cried out to see a large yellow, black spotted jaguar with eyes filled with primal rage snarling at them both. Rafael’s body shifted and morphed into an orange tiger of equal size just as the jaguar pounced.

Jadyn made her way to the closet in terror and hid beneath Rafael’s jackets and dress shirts. She listened, trembling to the sound of big cats trying to rip each other apart. Blood pounded in her ears, she thought she would have a heart attack. 

That’s when she realized who the other shifter was. Indignation replaced fear as she pulled on one of Rafael’s dress jackets and burst out of the closet to see the jaguar pinning the tiger to the floor of the living room ready to strike with powerful claws.

“Daunte Oliver LaSalle!” Jadyn used his full name to reinforce her authority. 

Hearing his middle name always embarrassed Daunte. His mother was a big Charles Dickens fan and “Oliver Twist” was her favorite book. Jadyn was the only person he ever told. He froze seeing Jadyn seething in another man’s powder blue dress shirt, her silky maple hair disheveled and skin flushed. She looked incredibly sexy.

Daunte climbed off of the tiger and shifted back into human form. Rafael did as well. They both were bleeding. Rafael had a black eye and crimson claw marks across his chest. Daunte had a split lip that began to swell with a huge animal bite mark on his muscular shoulder. They both stood naked in the room and Jadyn had to restrain herself from turning away in shock.

Rafael and Daunte were both well endowed for sure. Jadyn’s face went tomato red. She always wondered what Daunte was packing under there. And after feeling Rafael’s cock in her hand and feeling it rubbing against her it was nice to finally get a picture. 

“Daunte,” Jadyn cleared her throat trying to bury her intense arousal that began to bubble up seeing two hot men naked. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

“Moira told me you left work early because you weren’t feeling well,” Daunte crossed his arms across his broad chest. He had a more Herculean figure compared to Rafael. “Then,” he growled looking at Rafael who only returned the glower. “She told me that this fucker left around the same time.”

“So you naturally assumed I’d be here,” Jadyn concluded. 

“I smelled you…,” Daunte ground out. “I smelled you with him… in the alley.”

Jadyn’s heart jumped. Her jade eyes narrowed. Both shifters could sense the hate coming off her in dark waves. For such a small woman Jadyn could be terrifying to any large predator. 

“You had no business sniffing around me,” Jadyn marched up to Daunte glaring into his fiery bronze eyes, poking at his firm chest with her accusing finger. “You have no right to sniff around who I choose to spend my time with!”

“I marked you as mine…,” Daunte persisted.

“I am not yours!” Jadyn boomed causing both shifters to flinch. “You infected me with these insufferable hormones and even if I wasn’t who I choose to spend my time with is NONE of your business. Got it!”

Daunte clenched his fists. His cheeks flushed a bright red that spread to his ears turning them pink. Rafael tossed Daunte a throw blanket with a smugness that the jaguar wanted to claw off. Defeated he wrapped the green throw blanket around his hips hiding his impressive manhood then stalked off out the fallen door. Rafael stood at Jadyn’s side and wrapped a bronzed arm around her shoulders feeling her quiver with rage. 

“I’m sorry…,” Jadyn heaving an apologetic sigh. 

“Not your fault,” Rafael smiled. “We shifters are possessive bastards.”

“But your apartment!” 

“Easily fixed,” Rafael shrugged holding Jadyn against his naked form. “I’m a very handy man. When I get my hands on something broken or damaged I make it shiny and new again.” Jadyn chuckled. 

Rafael wrapped his arms around Jadyn, hooking her head beneath his chin she could hear the steady thumping of his heart. It soothed her.

“Stay the night,” Rafael said against her soft hair. He could smell her strawberry scented shampoo and it made his cock jerk. Jadyn could feel his manhood pressing against her thigh and laughed into his chest.

“The mood is sort of ruined,” Jadyn mourned. 

“For about 30 minutes,” Rafael shrugged. “Besides,” he frowned. “I don’t want you in your apartment by yourself.”

Jadyn nodded. She took Rafael’s hand and led him back to the bedroom.

“By the way,” Rafael’s deep blue eyes roved boldly over her body. “I love you wearing my things.” He winked making Jadyn smile.

TO BE CONTINUED IN PART 3… 

Cat Scratch Fever Ch. 1

   **Author’s Note: This was supposed to be a short erotica but it became longer and I wanted to post something and my friends convinced me to make it a series if not a small one. Part 2 is close behind. 

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

The cat shifters were the horniest shifters of the animal shifter species. The jaguars even more so.  A shifter would mark his intended with a bite or a scratch injecting hormones into their system. Then the intended would think of only one thing: mating. They called it The Heat.

 Daunte was of the jaguar breed. He was the bartender at the best bar in Baton Rouge: The Scratch. Canine and Feline shifters didn’t normally mix but The Scratch was neutral territory. Humans rarely stepped foot inside. Even the ones who didn’t know about Baton Rouge’s secret felt the bar gave off a certain vibe that repelled them. 

Jadyn wasn’t most humans. She had a daring that Daunte couldn’t help but find attractive. She was the only human waitress in the place. With long brown hair and eyes the color of jade like her name she was a piece of meat hanging in an animal cage. Daunte would be mesmerized by her pillowy lips that turned red whenever she bit them. She usually bit her lower lip when she was deep in thought or even apprehensive.

One night, Daunte caught a wolf shifter fondling her ass when she brought him a beer and the jealous snake of envy hissed in his heart. He grabbed the wolf by the collar, their eyes glowing, the both of them snarling and ready to tear each other to pieces. Daunte almost started a riot. Jadyn watched in horror but in small arousal at the sight of Daunte’s fury. His bronzed muscles flexed, his jaw clenched and eyes flaring answered to something primal within her.

Eventually Holland, the owner and tiger shifter, intervened and broke up the fight. Holland dragged Daunte still growling into the store room and threw him against the wall making the bottles on the shelf rattle. 

“You need to cool it, Daunte!” Holland reprimanded his friend. Holland’s eyes flashed amber yellow, his inner beast itching to come out. 

“The mutt needs to keep his paws to himself!” Daunte raged.

Holland sighed, shaking his head. “I knew hiring that girl was going to be trouble.”

“Why did you hire a human to work here then?” Daunte took the rag that he always kept on his broad shoulder to clean the drinking glasses and wiped the sweat from his brow then threw the rag roughly to the floor.

“I owe her father a debt,” Holland shrugged, leaning against the shelf full of whiskey. “He saved my life and it’s the least I could do for him.”

Daunte snorted. Just then Jadyn walked in, tucking her long brown hair behind her ear, jade eyes wary.

“Everything ok in here?” she asked. 

“I’ll tell Moira to give that wolf some free drinks,” Holland reasoned walking past her. “Top shelf.”

Holland left the two of them alone. They stood on opposite sides of the room, the tension was electric. Jadyn’s pussy clenched whenever Daunte looked at her with those whiskey gold eyes. 

“You keep this up and you’ll drive The Scratch out of business with all the free drinks Holland will have to give out to appease the customers you beat up,” Jadyn went to the bourbon shelf taking a few bottles down and placing them in her bin. 

“Wolves are too sensitive,” Daunte chuckled dryly and went to stand beside her. “I barely bruised the guy.”

Jadyn smiled shyly trying to reach on her tip toes to get another brand of bourbon. Daunte watched her tight shirt ride up to reveal her flat belly and cute belly button. He could see the outline of her bra as the cotton strained against her body. He wanted the shirt to ride all the way up and reveal the swell of her breasts that weren’t too big but perky enough. His cock twitched at the sight of a floral tattoo peeking out from the top of her shorts on the curve of her hip.  

“I was thinking of taking my break after this,” Jadyn mentioned. She could feel the intensity of Daunte’s gaze making her feel warm. “BLT. Your favorite.” 

Jadyn would often share her lunch with Daunte because he lived on mostly whiskey and bar nuts. It was their thing. Daunte would cut the sandwich in half but give Jadyn the bigger piece. Then they would share a beer. Both would taste the other’s saliva on the bottle and felt a longing to taste the other’s lips.

Jadyn’s fingers brushed the bottle. She jumped a little when Daunte grabbed the bottle with ease. He smiled wolfishly at her, his whiskey eyes raking over her body with liberty. The human waitress flushed, a flush the spread all over her fair skin giving it a rosy hue. Daunte licked his lips, watching Jadyn bite her bottom lip.

“I hate when you do that,” Daunte growled.

“Do what?” Jadyn raised her lovely green eyes to him. She was disturbed by the raw power of her attraction to him. He was nothing but a brute who was extremely jealous. And yet there were many times when he showed her tenderness and she would melt at the nearness of him.

“Biting your lip,” Daunte’s nostrils flared as blood rushed to his loins. “It drives me crazy. Do you know how sexy that is?”

Daunte stepped closer forcing Jadyn to take a step back. His smell intoxicated her, the smell of fine whiskey and motor oil mixed with after shave. Jadyn would see him ride his motorcycle to work and watched as the girls would lay across the metal beast to get his attention. A worm of jealousy would gnaw at her spine whenever he smiled back at them. 

Jadyn dropped the bin she was holding when her back pressed against the wall. The bottles shattered spilling their golden nectar creating a pungent smell that made her head spin. Daunte had Jadyn’s scent in his nostrils as well as the shattered alcohol bottles. He inhaled her flowery perfume and clean cotton detergent from her clothes but the most inviting smell of all was her arousal. He inhaled her musk as if it were the only air that could sustain him. 

“Daunte… what are you doing?” Jadyn tensed when Daunte, tall and muscular pressed against her. She could feel the bulge in his denim jeans throbbing against her belly making her pussy pulsate with expectation. 

“Something I should have done a while ago,” Daunte whispered huskily. He raked his calloused fingers through Jadyn’s maple tresses feeling the satin strands then cradling her head. He tilted her head up then his mouth came crashing down upon hers in a possessive bone-tingling kiss that made her knees feel like jello. She tasted the subtle note of cloves that intensified as the kiss deepened. 

He felt firm, like a stone wall, unyielding. Jadyn could only press against him, wrapping her arms around the immovable object. A growl of pleasure rumbled deep within Daunte’s diaphragm that made Jadyn vibrate with anticipation. She opened her mouth to him, allowing Daunte’s tongue to slither inside and rub against her own in an erotic dance. 

Daunte’s large hands traveled down, exploring her curves. His hands smoothed over Jadyn’s generous backside then with ease Daunte lifted Jadyn into his arms. Her legs wrapped around his waist allowing his hardening heat press against her mons. She rubbed herself against Daunte’s turgid bulge swallowing his hungry groans. 

“Jesus, Jadyn…,” Daunte groaned breathlessly. He buried his face in her perky bosom feeling her rake her fingers through his scalp. He nuzzled into her neck while his hands went underneath her cotton shirt, her skin was so soft and warm. The animal within him couldn’t be contained any longer. He had to claim her. 

His claws came forth then dug into Jadyn’s fair flesh. She cried out trying to push Daunte away. When he saw how much he was hurting her he released her. Jadyn landed on her feet then her jade eyes widened in horror at the small yet distinct crimson streaks across her side. 

“What have you done?” she cried. She knew what a scratch from a shifter meant. A whirlpool of emotions swirled within her. Jadyn glared at Daunte who’s face went from stricken to unreadable. 

“I’m sorry, Jadyn,” Daunte said. “But better me than some stranger right?”

“Is that your defense?” Jadyn snapped. “You just infected me and now I’ll be horny for anything that moves!”

“Not anything that moves,” Daunte smirked. “Just me.”

“Fuck you!” Jadyn stormed out leaving Daunte alone with the broken bourbon bottles and a throbbing erection.  

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

Jadyn slammed the door to her apartment causing a tiny quake. She leaned against the doorway, her head swimming. Daunte was a son of a bitch! He basically took her choice away. She wanted to have sex with him but now she had little choice but to do so. She heard that the hormones injected through a bite or a scratch would eventually leave her system. All she had to do was wait…

Jadyn tore off her clothes then ran a bath. She poured in lavender scented bubble bath into the steaming water. She placed some aloe vera on the wounds to ease the burn that began to spread through her limbs like an infection. She could still feel the imprint of Daunte’s hands on her skin. Her pussy could still feel the press of his maleness between her thighs.

As she stepped into the bath tub full of soapy lavender scented water, Jadyn’s skin prickled. Her pussy was on fire. It was an itch she needed to scratch. She was suddenly reminded of the scratch on her side. Daunte. The thought of him filled Jadyn with rage as well as uncontrollable lust. She thought of all the things she would do to punish him for infecting her with the Heat. 

She would tie him down. Give him a few scratches maybe. Tease him with her body until she had him crying for release. Jadyn sunk deeper into the hot bubble bath, the hot water easing the ache she felt while her hands smoothed over her breasts, pinching her nipples into hardened points then traveling downward over her flat tummy, over her hips where she had gotten her rose and heart tattoo, then her creamy smooth thighs. 

Lust burned in her brain like a fever. Jadyn teased herself, running her hands up and down her inner thighs thinking about Daunte’s kiss, his hard muscular body pressed against her. She felt his manhood hard and throbbing through his denim and shivered with thoughts of it being inside of her.

That bastard! Jadyn brushed her fingers along her cleft, raking her fingers through her downy brown curls. Her pussy lips began to saturate, her clit began to engorge as tiny waves of electricity surged through Jadyn’s body. She squeezed her clit between her two fingers feeling the bundle of nerves pulsate. Suddenly she could taste a subtle note of cloves on her tongue that increased as she pleasured herself.

The soapy water made her skin feel slick and velvety smooth adding to her arousal. Jadyn groaned and began to fondle her breast, taking the hardened nipple between her two fingers and began playing with it as she taunted her folds. Jadyn bit her lip remembering how it drove Daunte crazy. She would torture him by biting her lip then when he went to touch her she would slap him hard in his handsome face. 

Jadyn dipped a finger inside of herself. Then another, stretching her canal and scratching the inside as she pulled out. She finger fucked herself, her palm rubbing against her red berry creating pleasurable sensations to lick at her core. Tendrils of heat traveled up and down her spine as she climbed closer to her climax. 

Her body spasmed. A flash of white heat pulsed through Jadyn as she cried out in passion, squeezing her breast and taut nipple. She kept her fingers inside of her feeling her inner walls spasm and her clit throb until the pleasure ebbed. She stared up at the ceiling still horny. It was a thrum in her ear like an incessant fly buzzing about her head.

“Damn that fucking bastard!” Jadyn cursed.

She couldn’t sleep at all that night. Her head was too full of memories of Daunte. And when Jadyn did manage to fall asleep her dreams were about the jaguar shifter. She showed up for work the next day only to find that Daunte was given some time off. 

“I heard what happened,” Holland ventured awkwardly. “I would understand if you would like some time off as well.”

“No,” Jadyn lifted her chin to stare at her boss stubbornly. “It was barely a scratch. I can work.”

But the hormones seemed to make her more sensitive to everyone around her. She could feel the male shifters’ lust coming off them in waves as they watched her with greedy eyes. Jadyn’s whole body was wracked with tremors as her own pussy clenched and wept. 

It got to a point where she wanted to jump Holland’s bones just to relieve the ache. Instead Jadyn hastily took her break then slipped out into the alley. Her blood was pounding in her ears, electricity teased along her flesh, and her pussy tingled. She rubbed her thighs together with tendrils of heat spiraling up and down her spine. 

Jadyn needed to touch herself. To touch someone. 

“What a pretty sight.”

Jadyn propelled herself off the wall, more alert because of the lust coursing through her veins like molten lava. She looked to see it was Rafael, a tiger shifter like Holland. 

“Hey, Jadyn,” Rafael grinned. Jadyn always found Rafael attractive and charming. He was perhaps the only shifter in the bar that didn’t hit on her or grab her ass but she could always feel his gaze upon her. He would watch her with a predatory intensity that gave Jadyn shivers but in a good way. 

Rafael had a sensual mouth, a pair of lips that Jadyn wouldn’t mind having on her lips… or anywhere on her body. He had olive skin and an athletic build that was leaner than Daunte’s but no less sexy. She caught a glimpse of his stomach once when he used his shirt to wipe the sweat from his brow when he was helping Holland with fixing the ceiling of The Scratch. 

He had rippling abs that Jadyn wanted to rake her fingers against. He had short cut black hair and these eyes. God his eyes weren’t like Daunte’s who’s were amber brown like a good whiskey but rich and vibrant Persian Blue. Jadyn was entranced by the color that reminded her of pictures she saw of the Greek ocean off the island of Santorini. 

“Never seen you in this light, Jadyn,” Rafael smirked. He was wearing a leather jacket and a grey cotton shirt and a silver chain with a tiger claw hanging at the end. “Alleyway light doesn’t flatter anyone but you… still the prettiest waitress at the Scratch.”

“What are you doing here, you creep?” Jadyn snapped. She didn’t mean to but she was so horny she was becoming irritable. 

Rafael smiled then spoke in his voice that sounded like a purr, “I noticed you weren’t feeling yourself tonight. You seem… pent up. So I wanted to see if you were ok.”

Jadyn glared at him full of suspicion. The tiger held up his hands in mock surrender, laughing, “I wasn’t stalking you I swear.”

Jadyn relaxed back against the brick wall. Rafael put his hands down and approached closer hearing no protest from the waitress. He could smell her arousal like a fine perfume all night. Closer it surrounded him like a mist of sweetness.  

“You have The Heat,” Rafael stated as a fact. They stood so close he could have kissed her if he dared. Jadyn would have let him. Instead without a word Rafael wedged his thigh between her legs, pressing against her molten core. Jadyn made a small groan as Rafael lightly rubbed her terrible ache.

Waves of pleasure licked at Jadyn’s core, sending tiny waves of heat throughout her body. Rafael pressed Jadyn’s body against the brick wall whispering, “Easy… Let me help you.” He spoke to her as if he were speaking to a wild wounded animal.

“Wait…,” Jadyn placed her hand on Rafael’s thigh, digging her fingers into his muscles. Rafael tucked her brown hair behind her ear and caressed her face. He could smell the faint scent of lavender on her and it made his cock jerk.

“No kissing,” Rafael said. “No sex. But you need a release or you might pass out or worse… jump some stranger’s bones.”

“So you want to help keep me out of trouble?” Jadyn smirked. She ran her hands under his cotton shirt then up his stomach, raking her fingernails along his rippling abs that clenched at her touch. Rafael purred leaning closer, increasing pressure of his knee against her mons. 

“You spend your nights serving everyone else,” Rafael’s voice was soothing and dirty like hot chocolate mixed with bourbon; sweet and sinful. “Just use me as your personal sex toy. Rub against me until you come. Trust me you’ll feel better.”

There was a loud hum in Jadyn’s ears. She bit her lower lip swallowing hard tasting that familiar hint of cloves. She wondered what Rafael’s kiss would taste like. She began to move her hips slowly grinding her wet heat against the tiger’s thigh.

Rafael’s Adam’s Apple bobbed, he closed his eyes letting a low groan escape his sensual lips. He leaned forward, his head resting against the wall while his ragged breath was in Jadyn’s ear. The feeling of Rafael’s warm breath against her heated flesh gave her goosebumps.

 He could feel her thigh grazing against his swelling crotch creating hot sensations to pulse within him. Rafael felt the heat burning through his denim jeans, soaking through the fabric with the waitress’s arousal. The smell of her musk, the smell of vanilla, wafted to his nostrils filling him up, intoxicating him with her human perfume. He wondered if Jadyn tasted like vanilla too.

“That’s it…,” Rafael purred in Jadyn’s ear as she ground harder and a little faster into him. “Come on my leg. I want you to come all over my leg.” He felt her body tremble with the eroticism of the moment.

Jadyn’s clit pulsated, rubbing against Rafael’s leg. She could feel the pulse of his hardened arousal on her own thigh as she climbed higher towards perfect ecstasy. They didn’t kiss. Instead Jadyn muffled her cries of joy by biting into Rafael’s neck. He growled, the pain of Jadyn’s canines sinking into his olive skin combined with the endorphins kicking in made him throb. He felt the lapping of her soft wet tongue on his bite mark and shuddered. 

Jadyn was lost in a haze of pleasure. The scent of sex, Rafael’s leather jacket and male musk mixed with night air creating a secret cloud in their own private heaven. The heat of their bodies created electricity that could have powered Baton Rouge. 

She was reaching her climax. Rafael could feel the throb of Jadyn’s pussy against his thigh and sensed she was close. It felt so erotic. Their sexes pressed against each other without actually touching all while locked in a secret embrace. Jadyn dug her fingers into Rafael’s lean shoulders, sucking on the pulse in his neck as they writhed against each other, their ragged breathing echoing in the alleyway.

Jadyn’s body suddenly spasmed, waves of white heat washed over her like a soothing hot shower. They rested against each other for a moment allowing their breathing to steady and hearts to slow. 

“Feel better?” Rafael whispered. He felt Jadyn’s hand smooth over his aching bulge causing him to groan. Deftly her hands undid his belt and zipper. Her fingers wrapped around the turgid, pulsating shaft. Her hand was so soft. 

“You shouldn’t…,” Rafael warned looking into Jadyn’s jade eyes that were hazy with arousal. Her pink tongue darted out between her dark pink lips. Rafael wanted to suck on that tongue and taste her heat but if he did then he wouldn’t stop. To have sex with another shifter’s claimed was taboo. It’s what started wars but that made it all the more erotic.

“Just let me return the favor,” Jadyn whispered breathy, sensual in his ear. She sucked in Rafael’s lobe, nibbling on it making him shiver.

His cock was soft like velvet, hot and hard. It pulsed in her gentle practiced hand. Slowly Jadyn stroked the throbbing shaft up and down. She could feel a slimy bubble of pre-cum oozing out of the crown and used that as lubricant. His cock jerked and jumped in her hand as she moved in a steady rhythm designed to drive him wild.

Jadyn could feel he was ready for a release. She peppered Rafael’s neck with soft kisses feeling him quiver. She had him in her complete power and it felt even more arousing. She coaxed Rafael towards his climax. Once he came they relaxed into each other’s arms, the wall the only thing keeping them upright. 

“Fuck, Jadyn…,” Rafael whispered in relief. He pressed his lips to Jadyn’s hot temple, tasting the salt of her sweat. He buried his nose in her maple tresses as she buried her face in his neck. She kept her hand on his shaft until he softened and slipped out of her grip.

“How do you feel now?” Rafael lifted his head, leaving the sanctuary of Jadyn’s scent with great difficulty.

“Better…,” Jadyn said still in a state of arousal. The pounding in her ears, the feeling of being underwater was quiet now. Her body still thrummed with lust but Rafael helped to make it all static. “But…”

Rafael raised an eye brow. Jadyn flushed feeling naked under his intense persian blue gaze. 

“But how am I supposed to endure the next few days… or weeks for that matter?” 

Rafael smiled rakishly yet his eyes were tender. He took Jadyn’s hand and lead her to his car. It was a vintage yellow mustang with a black stripe. 

“Come with me,” Rafael winked. 

“But my shift isn’t over,” Jadyn protested but her body was all for it. She was climbing into the car while her mind was stuck on Holland and Moira being short a waitress.

“Call them and say you went home sick,” Rafael chuckled getting into the driver’s seat. Jadyn smiled, matching Rafael’s wicked grin. She began to feel the fever of lust with another hot achey throb between her thighs again as they drove off to Rafael’s place.

Daunte rode to The Scratch on his motorcycle. He ignored the girls who attempted to flirt with him, showing off their cleavage and shapely thighs. They miffed in disappointment when he walked right past them without saying a word. He had a brown paper bag in his hand and was determined to get it to Jadyn.

It was meant to be a peace offering but a stone sunk in his stomach when he heard Jadyn went home early. Moira fixed him with a glare as she said, “She couldn’t get through her shift without getting the shakes.” Moira was a panther shifter with an attitude and never had any patience with Daunte especially when it came to her best friend Jadyn. Whoever Jadyn hated so did Moira with great passion.

Daunte endured Moira’s attitude and thought to go to Jadyn’s place hoping she would let him in. But then Moira said, “I saw Rafael leave around the same time. I heard them talking outside.”

Everything inside Daunte clenched. His whiskey gold eyes flashed amber yellow, a growl rumbling deep within him. Rafael? That shrimp? Moira watched with a satisfied grin on her face as Daunte’s jaw clenched. She watched as he went for the door.

“Don’t do anything stupid, Daunte!” Moira called after him. But everything was static in Daunte’s jealous rage. Moira took out her cellphone and texted Jadyn to be careful and that Daunte was on his way.
