women in lacy bras and thongs. But I prefer you without any panties at all.” He winked.
Her blush ripened. She dragged her feet towards the bed to inspect the gown. It was a pink Lolita kind of dress, complete with bustier, ruffles and bows. It was pretty, but she was too old to be wearing stuff like that. It would suit someone younger better. A teenager.
“It’s a cosplay,” Adam explained.
“Cosplay?”
“Costume Playing. This one is from a Japanese anime called Chobits. David has a thing for women in this kind of outfit.”
“Oh…”
“One thing. Wear stockings to dinner, too. He likes to rip them off.”
Chapter Two
Her sweet, womanly scent clung sharply on him, making his cock hard to the point of hurting. Adam Hauser hurried his steps to his private study room. Maybe he’d jack off to relieve the tension. His inner lion grew restless. His beast had wanted to pounce and claim the woman as soon as he’d seen her in the room. His cock was second to that. Adam had a hard time restraining his urge. That curvy Samantha Knight had made his blood boil the moment he’d laid eyes on her.
David Strauss was in the study room when he entered. Adam closed the door behind him, secretly mourning. Guess he couldn’t jack off in here. Jesus. Can’t a man get his privacy to take care of his private business?
“When did you get here?” Adam asked. “I didn’t hear you come.”
“About five minutes ago. The taxi driver was a dickhead. Couldn’t find this stinking place.”
Adam snickered. They had been going to this mansion for decades. This place was their safe haven when they sought comfort and privacy from the world. As for David being given the roundabout by the taxi driver, that was solely his own fault. He never paid attention to his surroundings as soon he got into a taxi or a limo. David was a CEO for a well-known financial firm on Wall Street and always busied himself with either his phone or his laptop. He assumed all taxi drivers knew what they were doing.
David shrugged off his coat. “She’s here yet?”
“About an hour ago.” Adam scented his fingers that had briefly made an acquaintance with her sweet pussy. He resisted the urge to lick them clean.
David narrowed his eyes as he sniffed the air. He was a Bengal shifter and his sense of smell was as strong as Adam’s was. “Christ, that’s hers?”
“Yeah.” Fuck it, Adam wanted a taste of her. He found that lush woman irresistible. He growled and licked his fingers hungrily.
“Calm down, boy. You might want to restrain your beast. You don’t want her to discover that furry, dark side of yours, do you?” David poured a drink from the mini-bar.
“Speak for yourself, buddy,” Adam spat back. “I’m not the one with a flying TV landing on my head.”
Only last week, he and Calvin had had to bail David out of jail because he’d scared a woman in his beastly form. David had taken a midnight walk when an unsuspecting woman looking out from her apartment window had seen an enormous tiger stalking in the alley. The woman had freaked out and dropped a twenty-inch TV on the tiger’s head. The aim was surprisingly accurate, luckily resulting in David only getting a light concussion. If it had been a regular human, it would have plastered the contents of his head on the concrete. When the police had arrived, they’d found David already back in his human form, naked and unconscious. Feline shifters like them didn’t retain their clothes when they shifted. The police thought the woman must have seen wrong, but they still arrested David for indecent exposure. Calvin, who was currently working as a lawyer, had a ball making naked jokes after they’d paid David’s fine.
“Very funny,” David said blandly. He was still irritated with the whole flying TV thing. Calvin had offered to sue the woman if that would make David feel better, but David thought it was a stupid idea. “How is she, by the way?”
“Scrumptious,” Adam
