Shadow shrugs. “I have.” He looks out at the water with a far-away gaze. “There are many forms of neglect, Dani. Your mom neglects you emotionally; my mom neglected me literally. I, however, have no fire left in me.”
Thinking on Shadow's and my stories, I can see why we are so strongly attracted to each other; it makes sense now. We feel the damage in each other, like two wounded animals looking out for each other; for survival. Shadow's past is dark; his name justifies that. My past has also negatively affected me, yes; but hope in a different future still burns bright. I can be the fire; the light that Shadow needs to come out of the darkness in which he lives. Hearing Shadow's reason behind me being called Firefly makes me like the name; gives me hope for us.
We arrive back at the club just in the nick of time. As we pull into the courtyard, the sky opens up and it begins to pour rain. We both start laughing and run toward the clubhouse. Even with the short distance, we end up soaked. When we walk in Bobby is getting licked and grounded on by some girl I don’t recognize. A couple of the prospects are at the bar hooting and hollering at each other. Only Bobby looks our way for a split second before turning back to his female companion. Walking down the hall toward the bedroom, I glance over my shoulder and see Shadow admiring how my wet clothes cling to my body. I turn and walk backward, playing with the button on my jeans. I bite my bottom lip, my wet hair falling in front of my face as I gaze at him lustfully. He’s rubbing his bottom lip with his thumb.
As soon as we enter the room, he slams the door shut and shoves me against the wall with his body. He smashes his mouth onto mine hard, bruising my lips. I instantly wrap my arms around his neck wanting more, as he trails his tongue along my jaw bone to my ear. He sucks my earlobe into his mouth, making me moan lightly. Like a fire has been lit, we start pulling and tugging our shirts and pants off, they're heavy as bricks being as wet as they are. He picks me up and throws me on the bed.
With horny expectation, I watch as he crawls up me like a slick panther. His head stops at my panties and he tugs on them with his teeth. I bend my knees; the temptation almost too much to handle. He reaches his hands to the side of the panties and rips them to shreds; his muscles bulging in the process. God, he is so sexy. I can feel my body winding up even more just by looking at him. His wolfish gaze shifts from the torn panties to the look on my face. I meet his eyes with my own beastly needs. “Shadow,” my voice trembles. I'm not sure how much more anticipation I can take.
Shadow growls and grabs me by the hips; his fingers bruising me with his manhandling grip. He flips me over and throws me on my chest. He pulls my hips up, making my ass stick up into the air. In seconds, he pulls his briefs to his knees and slams his massive length inside of my wet core, making me yell out in pleasure. He reaches his hand around and cups my mouth as he thrusts in and out, his hips jack hammering my delicate sex. I can feel the bed moving back and forth to our rhythm.
He reaches his hand back and slaps my ass; the sting a pleasurable pain. Blood rushes to where he smacked me, making my lower half hypersensitive and making me even wetter. I arch my back and my ass sticks up even further in the air, inviting him to spank me again. I throw my hair to one side of my head and look over my shoulder to peer at Shadow. He’s looking right at me; his mouth is hung open in that sexy way.
“Say it,” he pants between thrusts, knowing I want him to spank me again.
“Spank me, Shadow.” I say, breathlessly. My voice is heavy with lust. I sound so erotic, I don’t even recognize my own voice.
He pulls his hand back and slaps my ass again. My head drops back and I moan. I can feel myself trying to plummet over the edge of ecstasy. He reaches down and tangles his fingers in my hair, pulling lightly.
“Fuck yeah, just like that, baby,” he grunts as he starts thrusting even harder. I can feel his length pulse inside of me; the fit tight. My body starts to shudder with warmth. I whimper as the heat spreads to my sensitive spots. He moans as I clench around him, pushing us over the edge together. Our simultaneous explosion is so toxic, animalistic and raw. He falls on top of me, causing us both to collapse.
“Fuck, that was great!” he pants. All I can do is nod; I’m so out of breath and instantly feel exhausted. My eyes close; all I can hear is Shadow’s deep breathing and my pounding heartbeat, lulling me to sleep.
