His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 26

She tried to push me away, but I kept my feet planted in place. I caught her jaw in my hand, pulling her face up to mine. Cara tried to evade my kiss, but I was too strong for her. She made a soft noise as I tried to kiss her deeply, but she still was attempting to peel away from me. I growled in annoyance and trailed soft kisses down her throat. I tongued the mark I gave her and felt her whole body stiffen.

"Dominic-"

I moaned, tightening my hold on her. "Say it again," I demanded.

She shook her head, so I continued to kiss her throat, this time using gripping her thighs to make sure our bodies were fully pressed together. It was like I couldn't get closer to her. All I wanted was more, more, more.

"Dominic, stop."

Caroline leaned as far away from me as she could, and I groaned in annoyance, pulling away from her. "What's wrong? You didn't like that?"

"I thought you wanted me to take a shower."

"But now I want to makeout with you." She groaned at me. "Let's compromise. You shower while I make out with you." I pulled her to my chest again, searching out to nuzzle into my mark. "You scared me. When you weren't beside me and I heard all that noise...:"

"I can handle myself," she mumbled. "I have self-defense skills and I don't need you."

She shrieked as I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder. "I'll clean it up in the morning. I've got an image of you showering with me and now I can't get it out of my head."

Caroline's fists pounded on my back as I carried her up the stairs to our shared bathroom. "No way am I showering with you! Put me down!"

I locked the door behind us before setting her down, not wasting any time before shredding my shirt. Caroline spun to yell at me, but froze when she saw me stripping. She always acted so smart and feisty, yet here she was, her cheeks glowing red with her eyes trailing on my chest.

"Come here, babygirl. You can touch me, if you want," I said softly, shedding my pants and boxers all in one go.

Cara squealed, but before she could retreat, I held the edges of her shirt and pulled it over her head. "Shh, shh. Hold still, Caroline. Let me undress you."

I wrangled her against my chest, laughing as she tried to keep her body away from my lower half, but she was giggling softly too. Like she thought this was a game. But she was in somewhat of a good mood, so I wasn't about to mess with it.

"Take your pants off," I told her, reaching around to fiddle with the button on her jeans - which she fell asleep in. "I wanna get my hands on that pert little ass."

Caroline fell over, giggling loudly now. I almost fell on top of her, but caught myself. "Are you in a silly mood, sugar?"

I climbed off of her and pulled her to her feet. "Go shower off. It'll make you feel better."

"But I feel great! You don't want to have sex with me?"

I rolled my eyes as I picked up my boxers and tugged them up my legs. "No, Caroline. I do not want to have sex with you after you've been drinking vodka. You aren't even technically consenting. Plus, when you wake up tomorrow, you'll be pissed at me." I turned around to help her get in the shower, just as Caroline straightened up from completely throwing all of her clothing off.

Her hair was messy and hanging over her chest, her eyes glossy but filled with a playful emotion I was unfamiliar with. "Cara..." I moaned.

"I thought you wanted to get your hands on me," she teased, leaning towards me.

God, she was so beautiful. Of course I wanted to touch her. I wanted to ravish her and worship every inch of her soft little body. I tried not to look any further south of her hips, because I knew my wolf would lose it. Caroline tucked her hair behind her ear, her doe eyes gazing up at me and she tiptoed closer.

"Does he want to get out?" she asked softly, to which I nodded. "What does he want?"

A deep growl emanated from my chest. "You, sugar. All he wants is you."
