My brain took a moment to click into gear and remember what question he was talking about. "Davern said Rhoan was investigating them, and I need to know why if I'm to have any hope of finding him."
"This call from his mother must be truly urgent if you're going to such extremes to find him."
My "yes" became lost in the sweet fever that flew through me as he began to trail kisses down my neck. When he caught a nipple in his mouth and sucked hard, I gasped and almost collapsed in pleasure. Somehow, through the haze of desire clouding my thoughts, I found the strength to add, "Death in the family."
"Ah." His fingers slid down past my belly, past my pubic hair, and deep into slickness
For too many minutes, all I could do was groan in pleasure
When I finally managed to gather enough brain cells together, I said, "You walk in the same circles as Quinn O'Conor. I need you to gather all the dirt you can on him."
His teeth were grazing me, teasing me, and all the while his aura washed me with heat and desire. Any other time I would have given in and gone with the flow, but I needed whatever help he could give
He worked his way up to my mouth. "Promise to concentrate on the business at hand," he said, and nipped my lip hard enough to hurt. But it was a sweet pain, especially when his tongue immediately caressed the sting away. "And I'll promise to find out what I can about Evensong Air and its owner."
"This is urgent." But my fingers were straying down his back, my actions belying my words as I spread my legs and pulled him closer
"So is this."
He pressed himself between my legs, sliding his cock back and forth, teasing, but not entering
"If it was urgent, you wouldn't be teasing but doing."
He made a growling sound in the back of his throat, then, with one hard thrust, sheathed himself in me. I groaned in pleasure. Talon filled me, stretched me, in a way no other wolf did - and right then, I wanted to feel every single hard inch of him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my legs around his hips, and pushed him deeper still. He cupped my butt, supporting me as he thrust and thrust and thrust, until it felt as if the rigid heat of him was trying to claim my entire body
There was nothing gentle about this mating. Couldn't be, with the heat of the moon burning us both so fiercely. I rode him hard, needing it fast and furious, and Talon was more than happy to comply. Pleasure spiraled quickly and my climax hit, the convulsions stealing my breath and tearing a strangled sound from my throat. He came a heartbeat later, his body slamming into mine, the force of it echoing through every fiber of my being and shuddering through the wall behind me
Once the tremors had subsided, I grinned. "That was certainly a promising start, but it was way too fast to be seriously labeled fucking me 'senseless.'"
His grin was ferocious. "That was little more than taking the edge off our need. I made a promise, little wolf, and I intend to keep it."
If there was one thing I admired about Talon more than his physique, it was his ability to keep his promises
But as good as it was between us, he didn't make me scream his name to the moon. That was the one pleasure I would keep reserved for the man who was my soul mate - wherever he might be
After two hours of wild and sweaty sex, Talon took off to find another mate and I had a long, hot shower. Once dressed, I grabbed my bag out of the locker and made my way up the steps
"Now, here's a wolf looking mighty pleased with herself," Jimmy commented as he opened the door
I grinned. "That's because a good time was had by all."
He nodded. "There was a gent in here looking for you earlier."
"Really?" I said, surprised. "Who?"
"Vamp. He had a look around and came back out, asking if I'd seen you."
Shit. It had to be Quinn. He'd undoubtedly tried to read Jimmy, but I knew he'd have little success. Jimmy was mind-blind, just like the waiters
Whatever Quinn was up to, he certainly was determined to keep an eye on me. "How long ago?"
"About an hour."
Relief swept me. The security system would still have been in place then. He wouldn't have sensed me. "And you told him?"
"That you had been in earlier, but you'd moved on to the Harbor Bar."
The Harbor Bar was a good hour across town, giving me time yet to escape should he be on the way back. I rose up on tippy-toes and kissed Jimmy's leathery cheek. "You're a doll. Mind if I use the side entrance?"
