Donald gone.”
The name Donald
sent a crackle of tense, electrical energy from the room that reached Knox a
hundred yards away. He pawed at the ground and thrashed his antlers,
irrationally jealous of whoever the fuck Donald was.
“Yeah,” Jaycee
muttered, her tone bitter. “Well, I’m getting by. Don’t worry about me, Riley.
I’m fine.”
“Are you?
Really? I’ve been meaning to ask you how things have been going since…since…”
“Since he
fucked Daria and I kicked him out?” Jaycee finished.
Riley chuckled.
“Yeah. Since then.”
“Well, I won’t
say it’s a hundred times better without him. But I haven’t come home to find my
boyfriend sticking his cock into one of my friends since he’s been gone. So,
there’s a plus.”
Riley laughed
again. “At least you have a good attitude about it.”
“Seriously,”
Jaycee said on a sigh. “The only thing I really miss is his penis. I’ve been so
horny lately, I think I’d sell my soul for some good old-fashioned hot, raunchy
sex.”
Outside, Knox’s
loins went heavy and hard. His dick pulsed, and he decided he’d have this
woman. Before the day was over, he’d get his own penis inside her and give her
some of the very good old-fashioned hot, raunchy sex she craved.
He’d never been
with a human before. But if the jaguar mother would play homo sapiens ,
then by God, so could he.
Chapter Two
After Jaycee
left the Griffins’, she stopped by the grocery store on her way home. Once she
reached her house, she made herself a light supper and ate it on her wicker
furniture in her screened-in back porch, sipping wine with her meal and staring
sightlessly at the thick woods lining her backyard.
Throughout it
all, she felt eyes on her, watching her every move, making her skin tighten and
loosen as if a million insects were crawling on her. She glanced around a few
times, but other than some blurry, flashing images of a gray wolf, she caught
no one staring.
That damn wolf
had spooked her more than she thought.
If she didn’t
know any better, she’d swear it was stalking her. Outside the grocery store,
she’d glanced into the tree line and caught a glimpse of white, gray and dark
fur. But it was gone so quickly, she shook her head, telling herself she must
be mistaken. The beast had to be in another county by now. But on her walk
home, she’d felt the same stare, prickling the back of her neck.
After finishing
her supper, she carried her empty plate and glass inside and cleaned the
dishes. Eyeing the rest of the wine in the bottle, she resisted temptation and
put it away, deciding to retire for the night. Nothing was more pathetic than
getting drunk all by herself.
In her bedroom,
she stood alone in the dark, remembering so many nights she’d spent in that bed
with Donald. God, she should definitely redecorate. Except she didn’t have the
money.
She stripped
out of her clothes, slipping off her bra and panties. From his side of the bed,
Donald used to watch her undress with glittering eyes, making her think he
found her attractive. Then he’d go and make some kind of crack about her
weight, crumbling her self-confidence.
As she slid
naked under her covers and purposely scooted toward the center of the mattress,
Jaycee reminded herself that having no one around to call her fat was better
than having a worthless jerk in her bed.
She sighed.
Telling Riley
the only thing she missed was sex hadn’t been the full truth. Yes, she missed
Donny’s penis, as mediocre as it had been. But she also wanted someone to come
home to, to fall asleep with and wake up with. Then she wanted a nice,
thick, long cock lodged inside her because Bob was no longer doing it. Her
battery-operated boyfriend couldn’t touch her with warm, talented fingers, he
couldn’t whisper in her ear, couldn’t use his mouth in new and interesting
places. He just lay there and vibrated. No post-coital snuggling, no
