Chapter 6

CASSIE POV

he hit the ground difficult when Claw all of a sudden let go of her, falling forward on her knees and tilting sideways from the energy. Her bear tucked into her

body, bracing for the affect of the concrete that came sooner than she expected.

She lay there for a couple of long seconds, getting her heading once more whereas the world spun slightly.

Oh my god, what the hell was that!

Her bear dissented when she pushed herself up to get an arm beneath her body, twinging awkwardly at the sudden development after falling on it. She recoiled a small and pushed herself up sufficient to sit, bracing her hand another to her thigh.

She looked up at Claw, dazzling at him. She bit her tongue, battling the encourage to reprove him like she would have done with the kids that came into her office on a every day premise. Indeed if he was attempting to be a noble man and capture her, he didn’t require to drop her like an genuine pillage of potatoes.

Or like I had a few kind of dark plague…

“Shit,” he put out his hands once more. “I’m so sorry.”

Cassie pushed his hand absent, ceasing him from endeavoring to choose her up once more. She didn’t require to go for round two on that one. Indeed if he was the most sultry stranger she’d ever seen in her whole life.

Slowly getting to her feet, she put a hand on the back of her bear and turned it gradually. It harmed, but gratefully it hadn’t popped out of put. Indeed if it hadn’t been that tall of a coordinate drop, shoulders were so finicky when it came to torn tendons and rotator cuffs.

She let go of her arm and let it drop to her side. “You’re bleeding.”

Cassie squinted at him and looked down to where his eyes were focused, taking note the tear in her skirt and the blood spilling down her shin from her kneecap.

She moaned and lifted her leg, moving the joint around to see how terrible it was going to be to walk on.

Talon hunched down and rapidly gotten hold of her lower leg. “Don’t. You’re making the dying worse.”

She gazed at him in shock, solidifying totally at his touch.

It felt like the whole world ceased moving at that correct minute, and they were the as it were two cleared out breathing. Cassie felt her lips portion, a sudden thirst for something that would offer assistance extinguish it from overwhelming her. She felt it profound in her bones as she gazed down into his eyes.

His hold fixed on her leg, something passing over his highlights some time recently assurance set in, and he let go of her. She dropped her leg back down to the roof and straightened out the sack around her shoulder.

“How do I …”

She let out a little cry when solid arms wrapped themselves around her legs and picked her up and off her feet. She mixed, hooking for anything to hold onto as her body came into contact with his once again.

Her nails sank into his bear, holding her upright when he straightened out to crease both of his arms beneath her ass.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

Ignoring her, he made his way toward the inverse side of the roof, taking her absent from the entryway that driven down into the club. She felt herself begin to freeze and looked around to see if anybody else was up there with them.

“Put me down!” “You’re bleeding.” “So?”

What the hell did that have to do with him picking her up in a odd kind of firefighter hold and taking her to a few other obscure location?

Talon headed over to another entryway, covered up absent from the other entrance she’d come up, swiping a keycard over the little board another to it and venturing back as the thing popped open for him.

It made her glare, ducking her head to his bear when he ventured inside.

“So there was another entrance …”

He grunted. “Not one available to the public.”

That made her roll her eyes at him and hold back another comment. She was beyond any doubt she may chew his ear out if she truly needed to. But what great would it do with him holding her in a tight sufficient grasp to nearly cut off the circulation in her legs?

Talon squeezed a button on another board right interior of the entryway, the gleam from it lighting up the little space more than she anticipated it to.

Cassie moved in his arms to get a way better see, taking note an lift entryway, and he’d pushed the call button and not fair a few kind of Driven light switch he’d turned on. Over the parcel, the lift switch gradually numbered up from one whereas they waited.

A hand moved on her leg, pulling her up a small bit higher on his bear and sending a zing through her core.

It made Cassie swallow impulses. She’d never felt this kind of … creature fascination for somebody before.

As if her body had at long last found something it’d been looking for her whole life. She felt like if she didn’t strip them both down and sink down on best of him on this grimy- ass floor, she was going to soften into a puddled mess.

It made her shake her head, saying thanks to whoever was sacred that the lift at last dinged open some time recently she had a chance to let her wants surpass her.

Talon ventured into the lift and tapped the foot button.

“You said there was a few ‘thing’ happening downstairs?”

Cassie flickered at the sudden topic.

“Oh … better believe it. That’s why I went through the entryway and up to the roof.”

“Mind telling me precisely what ‘thing’ is going down in my club?”

“You truly need to know?”

He looked at her misshaped reflection on the lift doors.

“Yes. Why else would I be asking?” She squeezed her lips together.

“Well, they were introducing everybody into the back portion of the VIP segment. Where there was this corridor with a window ornament over it. It appeared like it was a few sex/orgy thing going on back there.”

A moderate smile worked its way onto his confront, his shoulders lifting somewhat. A tight-lipped snicker gotten away him with a bizarre see in his eyes that nearly looked like they were … glowing?

What the hell?

“What was that besides? It was an bash, right? That’s what’s back there?”

Instead of replying her, Claw just fixed his hold around her legs, for all intents and purposes crushing her against him. The development made her thighs rub together, another zing of delight surging through her core.

She turned absent from him and confronted the back divider, observing her claim confront reshape. Perhaps she should’ve taken after all those individuals to the bash … at slightest she would’ve gotten anything this was out of her framework so she seem really work like a ordinary adult.

The lift at last came to a halt, the entryways chiming affably whereas separating. Cassie felt herself breathe out a murmur of alleviation and listed a small into his bear. Possibly presently she might at last get exterior, get a few new discuss into her, and clear the mist from interior of her brain. She looked back over her bear, shocked to discover that it wasn’t the front portion of the club that they ventured into but or maybe a huge office. She felt her brows drag together in confusion.

Talon walked to a sofa that was absent from the lift and from the expansive work area, which was settled by the damp bar against the inverse divider. He bowed somewhat, thudding her down on the calfskin pads, and at that point stood back.

She looked down at her knee, presently crusting over with dried blood.

“Stay put.”

She observed him move over the office with a sense of reason. He fit in well with the room, the dim furniture and carpet giving the whole space a brooding feel that appeared to play right into his persona.

The whole space was gigantic presently that she’d gotten a way better see at it, having its claim amusement zone aside from the lounge chair that she was right now sitting on. The completely supplied damp bar on the inverse divider looked like it solely held top-shelf alcohol stacked on its glass shelves.

There wasn’t much light coming from anyplace other than the track lights on the ceiling that had a somber shine to them.

Talon headed back over to her with a little first-aid pocket clutched in his hands. A astounding signal, truly. In spite of investing less than three minutes in his presence,he didn’t strike her as the sort to truly care almost going to to people’s wounds.

Especially clumsy ladies like she clearly was.

The whole circumstance made her need to facepalm. Never in her life had she slipped and fallen from her heels getting caught on a imbecilic uneven floor. She’d went through her whole grown-up career in them and not once had any kind of a comparative accident.

So, of course, the moment she met the sexiest man she’d ever laid eyes on, she’d bombarded right in front of him.

Ugh, what is off-base with me …

Talon bowed on one knee in front of her, unfastening the pack and resting it on his calculated thigh.

“You truly don’t have to …” He cut her off. “It’s fine.”

She scowled and bound her fingers in her lap, letting him slip her skirt more distant up her thigh to get way better get to to her knee. He took care when wiping absent the crusted blood with an sterile towelette. Indeed going so distant as to fan it with his hand to avoid it from stinging as well badly.

She bit her lip, attempting her best not to squirm when he spotted a glob of treatment onto the wound and rubbed it in tenderly. Hurling the cotton-tipped adhere into the rubbish expertly, he slapped a gauze on her and folded up the slips of paper between his hands.

She observed him for a long minute, not moving when he set the to begin with help unit following to her leg.

“Thank you,” she said quietly.

He gestured at her without saying anything more.

Neither of them moved from their particular spots. Cassie breathed in gradually and felt her body come to a realization. Settling encourage into the sofa, the longer she gazed into Talon’s infant blue eyes. She felt like she was in a few kind of fever dream.

“I’ll escort you upstairs where you can get a cab home.”

There was truly nothing behind the words. Nearly like he was saying them as a custom or maybe than something he was really going to get up and go do. It made her need to test something … a hypothesis, rather.

Cassie inclined back into the love seat and let her legs drop separated, fair sufficient to capture his consideration. His eyes caught the development, looking down for a definitively long minute some time recently running back up to meet hers once more.

“Miss …”

He looked her for the words. “Burch. Cassie Burch.”

His lip twisted up gradually, understudies dilating.

“Miss Burch … if I’m misreading this as an welcome when you’re expects on clearing out … Well …”

Slowly, he lifted his hand and set his long fingers over her other knee, spreading the digits wide sufficient to nearly wrap around her whole thigh totally. It made her nibble her lip once more, pondering if other parts of him were too of break even with length.

Without answering to him, she spread her legs more distant, giving him a full see of her drenched undies. His nostrils flared, hand fixing around her leg.

Not a moment later, Cassie felt herself be dragged to the edge of the couch, her lower half dangling off as Talon threw her legs over his shoulders. She quickly reached out and gripped the back of the couch cushion, lifting her hips slightly while he yanked her skirt up to her waist.

She let out a gasp when he hooked a finger around her panties, pulling them to the side before replacing them with his warm mouth.

Her hips jolted. “Oh, god!”

She felt her back arch as the orgasm took her quickly and immediately.
