A Twitch of Tail by R. E. Butler

shoulder at him.  She didn’t say anything, beckoning him with the heat in her eyes and the soft panting breaths that escaped her parted lips.  He climbed up onto the bed.  She spread her legs further apart and lowered her head.
    He stroked his hand up her back, brushing her hair off to one side.  She shivered, her hands clenching on either side of her head.  Trailing the fingers of one hand up and down her spine, he reached forward and touched her pussy, finding her hot and wet.  He soaked his fingers with her honey, parting her swollen lips with just the tips of his fingers, tracing a heated path from the hard nub of her clit to her entrance.  Her body rocked with the movements of his hand and she made low, impatient noises every time his fingers slipped over her clit.
    Leaning forward, he planted one hand on the bed next to her head and kissed down her back while slipping one finger inside her.
    “Tahl,” she moaned, moving her hips back.
    He nipped at her back and pulled his finger out.  “Not yet, baby,” he crooned, sitting up and fisting his cock, rubbing the swollen head against her wet folds.  He eased just the tip inside her and gripped her hips with both hands, giving himself a moment to grab hold of his control.  She was so hot and wet and making little sounds that were maddeningly sexy.  He didn’t want to stroke into her once and come.
    Gathering his control, he thrust into her with one hard press until their bodies were flush together, and she let out a low groan.  Pausing, he stroked his hands over her back.
    “I love to see you like this, kitta, spread out for me.”
    She moaned, and he eased out of her almost entirely, before sliding back into her slick core.  He began to pound into her, his fingers digging into her hips as he held her tightly.  He could feel himself drawing close to the edge.
    “Touch yourself, baby.  Make yourself come,” he growled.
    Her hand clenched on the blanket and then relaxed, sliding down the bed before disappearing underneath her body.  Her body bucked as her fingers began to move over her clit.
    “Ah, Tahl,” she moaned, squeezing her eyes shut as her body grew tense.
    “Come, Tera, come now,” he demanded, nearing the point when he wouldn’t be able to hold back.
    Her body jerked and she wailed, “Tahlon!”
    He roared his pleasure to the ceiling, driving himself deeply into her as his cock spasmed over and over, and her pussy clutched him like a vise.
    Overcome with the need to mark her, to make sure that everyone knew that she belonged to him, he sank his teeth into her shoulder, his fangs elongating as his cock spasmed inside her.  She cried out, her voice raw with passion, her pussy clenching his cock.  Pulling his teeth from her shoulder, he stroked his tongue across the mark.  He dropped to his back on the bed with a groan, already missing the tight, wet heat of her body.  She moved to him, draping her body half across his with her head tucked against his shoulder.
    Slowly, in the silence of the bedroom, their hearts stopped racing and their breathing returned to normal.  He stroked his hands up and down her back.
    “Baby, when I break from the ambush tomorrow, there isn’t anything that they can do that will keep me from you.”
    She lifted her head and looked at him.
    “Tahl, I love you.”
    Cupping her face, he kissed her.  “I love you, too, Tera.”
    Her eyes shone with unshed tears, and she sniffled and laid her head on his shoulder, taking in a deep, slow breath and letting it out on a sigh.  He could feel the tension in her body and knew that worries plagued her mind.  He wasn’t immune to worrying over what would happen tomorrow, but he knew that no matter who he was chosen to fight to break out of the ambush, no one would keep him from returning to Tera’s arms and the new life that awaited him in Ohio.
    “You’re mine forever, love.  Nothing will ever keep us apart.  I swear.”  He’d never spoken more truthful
