“So good, oh yes, yes,” she cried as he dragged her orgasm from her in a huge wail. The cathartic release eased the last wall inside her preventing her from taking what belonged to her—what had always belonged to her.
Herguerprobed but found Jesse’s protective shields still in place. Her Jesse, such a cautious warrior. But when he came a few seconds later, she took the opportunity and stabbed between his inner walls. Grabbing onto hisguerand fusing itwith her own, she sealed the bond between them.
“Oh fuck, shit.” He swore and ground into her, coming so hard she felt her thighs slick with it. “Yes, baby. So good.”
It took Kate a minute to understand the sheer bliss she felt wasn’t hers alone, but Jesse’s as well. The echo of pride, satisfaction, and joy arched through her with a masculine feel she recognized.
“Fuck, Kate. Why the hell have you been holding out so long?” He rotated his hips and groaned, pumping a few more times before he finally pulled out.
She had a hard time catching her breath. The minute Jesse’s body parted from hers, she felt hisguertry to withdraw and held tight until the wild animal relaxed, recognizing her.
A glance beside her showed him frowning.
“What’s wrong?” she asked softly.
“I feel weird.”
She snorted, too worn out to do more than relax into his warmth as he pulled her closer. “You feel me.”
He blinked in surprise. “So you finally claimed me, huh?”
For all his bluster before about her leaving him behind, he didn’t sound happy that she’d given him what he’d been asking for. “Jesse?”
“You’re a mess.” He sniffed then eased next to her, pulling her into his warmth. “You smell like sex. Like me.”
She knew she needed to clean up, but he wouldn’t let her.
“Uh-uh. I like you this way. Soft, sexy, and messy.”
Kate yawned. “We really should find Logan.”
“So you can apologize?”
“Jesse—yes, okay? So I can apologize. Asshole,” she muttered.
He chuckled. “Always knew you’d be a handful. Don’t worry about Logan. He’ll be fine. Ravager needs to stop thinking about love.” He snorted. “He should think less like a human and act like the predator he is.”
She knew a dig when she heard one.
He held her against his chest, ignoring the claws she dug into his biceps. “Scratch me up, baby. Yeah, I like that,” he rumbled. “I like a bit of pain, just like you. Logan likes everything to feel good, so we’ll have to be gentle with him.”
As they lay together, her mind drifted to the three of them in her own happily-ever-after.
After a while, she said, “Do you think he’ll forgive me? I never meant to hurt him. Or you.”
Jesse sighed. “The man is in love, Kate. Of course he’ll forgive you. Though it wouldn’t hurt if you groveled a bit. We’ve had more than a few fantasies of you on your knees, begging to make it up to us.”
“Jerk.”
“Bitch.”
“Yeah, but I’m your bitch.”
“You sure the hell are. Now go to sleep.”
She wanted to argue, but pushed past her limit, she promptly fell asleep.
