I can’t
take my lips off her. I need her so much right now. I’m starving for her lips. I can’t catch my breath, but I can’t stop either. I need her to feel how much I love her, need her to know how much I need her and that everything I said was a fucking lie. It was all the fear of not being able to live up to her expectations, the horror of disappointing her. I pushed her away instead of talking to her. If only I’d told her before why I was doing this, to help her mom out, then maybe this would've never happened.
But fuck, I am happy she’s here and that she’s all right. She’s here in my arms and I’m not letting her go. Never again.
I’m such a fucking mess, and still she loves me. I have no fucking clue why, but that’s why I love her. She loves me completely, unconditionally, so much that she can’t stand the thought of me even having the slightest scratch on me. I know I’m a bastard for earning money with fighting, but it’s the only thing I can do, and I’ll make sure I’ll be damn good at it. If she can’t see me get hurt, then I won’t let myself get hurt. I’ll make sure it never happens. I’ll train and fight until I can knockout everyone in my path with her watching me, smiling, proud.
I want to be her winner.
Smelling her, I take in her scent in with eagerness, wanting her so close, holding her isn't even enough anymore. My fingers slide down her neck to her spine and down to her waist as I turn her around, still kissing her. I’m slowly taking her back to the car, not taking my lips off her. Entangling her fingers through my hair, she lets me push her backward until we reach the hood of the car. I've not been the best at finding directions when I have my fucking eyes closed. Kissing her is more important than seeing where I’m going.
She bumps against the hood, and I put my arms around her, making sure she can’t slip away. I’m not letting her out of my sight. Not anymore. Her plump, pink lips are so luscious … so soothing … so volatile for me. They turn me into something I shouldn't be right now, but I can’t help myself.
Planting my hands on the hood, I trap her inside my arms and ravish her mouth. I can’t get enough of her, can’t get enough of her sweetness, her passion, her spark, her flame. I need her love right now.
“God … I want you so much right now, I can’t stop,” I murmur against her mouth, nipping at her lips, catching them with my teeth.
“I want you too. Don’t stop,” she whispers, and then she drags me closer by my shirt.
“Hmm …” I moan into her mouth, but then take my lips off her again. If I don’t stop now, I’ll turn into that beast again. I know, because I've been there before. She does that to me. Especially now, because I haven’t seen her for a while, and now that I've finally got my hands on her I’m not sure I can hold back. I don’t even want to, but I’m forcing myself to stop. It’s not right to take it further now. Not after what we just went through.
“We’re soaked,” I say.
“Yeah …” The way she says it sends shivers down my spine. It’s like she’s saying she’s ‘wet’ in a whole different way. Exhilarating.
“No, I mean, we should get back to the car.”
She shakes her head, pulling me in for another kiss, but I barely escape.
“I can’t control myself,” I say.
“You don’t need to.” She leans forward and pulls down my shirt, exposing my collarbone. When she starts pecking my skin, I’m done for.
Groaning, I say, “You don’t know what you’re in for.”
“Yes, I do. We've had sex before.”
“Not on a fucking car, on a road, in the rain.”
“I don’t care,” she whispers, wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me closer. My cock springs alive from her tug. She’s never been this needy. This willing. It’s like she wants me to fuck her.
“I need to feel your lips on me. I need you. I need you everywhere. Inside me,” she whispers close to my ear. Fuck. She’s undoing me with her words. Now I’m hard as fuck.
It feels so fucking wrong after a fight, but so very tempting at the same time. My desire to take her has been multiplied by ten since we argued, as if my inner caveman knows that in order to fix love you need to fill each other up with love. Or in other words, fill her up to the brim.
My cock is throbbing in my pants at the thought of having her right now. I can’t think of anything else; it’s like my mind is only focused on one thing now, which is claiming her.
Ah, screw my conscious. “Fuck it …” I murmur, and then I dive into the little nook between her neck and shoulder and kiss her until my lips are raw and swollen.
I push her up against the car, and the lift her up, setting her down on the car. Parting her legs, I step closer and suck the beads of water off her skin. With my tongue I slip down her neck, licking up all the raindrops until I reach her tits. Her hands drop back onto the hood when I grasp both her perky tits in my hands and kiss the swell, going from one to the other.
“God, you've never tasted this good before.”
She giggles, which only gives me more incentive to seize her body and make it mine.
My fingers travel down her stomach while I keep my lips on her collarbone, teasing her as I slide lower and lower, avoiding her pleasure spot. I know she wants it, but I want her to savor that feeling for a while. I want her to realize what she’d be missing if I wasn't there to please her anymore. And I want to enjoy myself while doing it.
I curl my fingers around her shirt and rip it over her head, surprising her. “You scared someone’s gonna find us here?” I tease, throwing the shirt on the hood of the car.
She squints, a smirk appearing on her face. “No.”
I purse my lips and raise an eyebrow. “Not even a little bit?”
Little moans escape her mouth as I massage her tits. She can’t speak, but shakes her
head instead.
Hmm … I wonder how far she’ll go. I want to know if I can push her boundaries. It’s too exciting not to try. So I slide my fingers down her shoulder, pushing her bra down, and then in one surprise move I flip her tits out of her holsters.
She gasps as I immediately lock my mouth over her rosy nipples.
“Oh, Hunter …” she moans as I flick my tongue over her hardened peaks.
“What? You backing down yet?” I tease.
“No. Definitely not. Oh my god …” she murmurs.
“Hmm… I like that.” I grin against her skin as I lick her tits until they are nice and perky. My hand drifts down to her pussy and I splay my fingers, grasping her possessively. “Mine.”

My review of Fierce:
Fierce by Clarissa WildMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hunter sold his soul to the devil but now that he's met Autumn he has a chance to win it back.
Autumn is innocent, sheltered and irresistibly drawn to the broken bad boy she meets on her first day of college. There is just something about Hunter Bane that speaks to her soul.
More often bruised and bloodied than anything else, it should be easy for her to see that Hunter is nothing but trouble. If it wasn't for the glimpses of something else; a softer side that seems to need her more than any other person she's ever met, Autumn would find it easier to just walk away.
Hunter brings out the wild side of Autumn. Challenging her to break the rules and step out of the studious mold she has cast for herself, she can't help but fall in love. But Hunter is keeping secrets from her, he is haunted by darkness.
While trying to protect her from the past that stalks him, Autumn is drawn into the dangerous side of his world and if she can't get him to open up and share his secrets they just might end up destroying them both.
Fierce is a well written, fast paced, sensual adventure about discovering who you are, who you're meant to be, and finding the strength to survive in the arms of the one person who makes you complete.
Opposites attract in this coming of age drama that drew me in from the very first page!

My review of Fury:
Fury by Clarissa WildMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Have you ever wondered what he was thinking?
Hunter has always had a hard life; his mother died of a drug over dose leaving him with only his brother to lean on. Learning has always been difficult for him, but his brother is determined that Hunter go to college and live a better life than they were raised in.
This seemed like an excellent plan, until his brother turned to the very drugs that stole their mother in order to support them and his dream for Hunter. College is difficult enough, but when Hunter's brother is arrested it sends him into a downward spiral he can't control. Determined to do whatever it takes to get his brother free, Hunter digs himself into the very scene that stole his family from him, but he never anticipated how deeply the darkness would impact him.
Fury is the companion novel to Fierce by Clarissa Wild. Written from Hunter Bane's point of view, it offers amazing insight into Hunter's character, what was going on in his mind during Fierce, and exactly what demons are driving him to make the choices he doesn't want to make.
This is a MUST READ for all fans of the Fierce series! Clarissa Wild's amazing storytelling opens up Hunter's world like no male POV I've ever read before. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and even though I already was familiar with the story, this is a reading experience that's unique and engaging all on it's own!
