She accepted me as her mate.There’s no going back now.
“Why would you want this?”I growl.Even as the words leave my mouth, something clicks inside me.The peace I’ve been missing all these years.
“I trust you,” she answers.“This is my home—I can feel it.Youare my home.I’d rather take a risk than regret walking away for the rest of my life.”
“We can’t undo it.”I lick over the bite mark, making her arch as I tug her hair a little harder.The need to have her overpowers every thought.It’s my sole purpose.“Once I’ve had a taste, I won’t be able to go without.”
She starts to reply, but it comes out as a groan when I rip open her pants.The button flies across the kitchen and skitters on the floor.I lift her onto the counter and tear off the rest of her clothes.Her nipples are dark and stiff as I catch one in my mouth, rolling it over my tongue until she squirms.
“I need to come,” she gasps.
“I know.”I move to her other breast and tease it with my teeth just so I can hear her moan louder.“You belong to me now, and I’m going to savor every minute of it.”
I’m not yet convinced we should go through with this, but I also can’t help myself.I push her knees as far apart as the counter will allow, and take in the full scene: small quivers of her stomach as she tries to hold herself together, thick thighs spread on either side of my hips, and the swell of her clit at the center of it all.
“Please, Roen,” she begs.“The heat…it’s coming back.”
I press her legs so she can’t move.“My brave, beautiful mate…” Leaning down, I drink her in with another kiss.“You’d have to endure much more than this.”
If she wants to take me, then we’ll both have to prove ourselves.
“What should I do?”She’s panting harder, bracing her hands on my biceps.
“Take deep breaths.”I skim lower and nuzzle into her sex.It’s like shooting an aphrodisiac straight into my veins.My tongue darts out for a taste, a quick flicker.She bucks into my face, and I grind against the cabinet.Our groans fill the room.
Ravenous, I go in for more, sucking all of her into my mouth.Her clit pulses as I nibble on it like a ripe berry.Her legs tremble, but she follows my command and evens out her breaths.I rub as much of her into my skin as I can.I want to bathe in her scent.I want it embedded in my DNA.
She cries out as her orgasm ripples through the bond.My dick kicks in response.When I’m finally able to pull back, she’s made a puddle on the counter.A sound I’ve never heard before rumbles from the back of my throat.
“I need more.”I drag my eyes up her body and slowly press two fingers into her cunt.“I need you so wet that you’re dripping onto the floor.”
She stares back at me wide-eyed.Then her head tips back as I curl my fingers and find her sweet spot.It exposes her neck, and I bare my teeth, pulling away at the last second before I bite her again.“Eyes on me, mate.”
“Can’t…think…” she pants, fighting to meet my gaze.
“You’re doing good,” I praise.“I’ll make you come until it gets better.”This is her first true heatwave, and I need to gauge how much they affect her.I shouldn’t even consider it.But if there’s a chance—if there’s a way to keep her—I have to try.
I add another finger and pick up the pace.Her pussy is so tight, it barely fits past my second knuckle.I guide her hips to help her fuck my hand.The clutch and flutter of her walls is enough to drive me wild.
“Ah,” she moans.“It’s too much.”
“Don’t you dare slow down.”
Her eyes dilate until they’re almost black.We both shudder with her second orgasm.She whines and gasps for air.“More.”
I eagerly lick my lips.“Take what you need.”
Then I dip my head and lap her up.Her thighs clamp around my head.My fingers work her pussy harder as my tongue circles her clit, and I lose all sense of reality.I don’t even register that she came again until she’s yanking at my hair.
“Roen, the heat’s fading.Roen!I’m sensitive and you’re—I’m—” She almost rolls off the counter with a shriek.My dick pulses painfully as she orgasms a fourth time.I shove my face into her thigh, growling with the effort it takes not to keep going.
Her fingers loosen from my hair, petting me like a dog.“Are you okay?”
I grunt.She laughs.
Holding my breath to block out her scent, I raise my head and bring our foreheads together.“If we’re really going to try this, I don’t want to skip the important parts.So, Nova, can I take you on a date this week?”
She kisses my cheek.“Absolutely.”
