Kat licked her lips, looking up at him. His breathing grew heavy and his eyes blazed with primal heat. She opened her mouth and took him in as far as she could, then pulled back slowly, wetting the length of him.
In a motion too fast to track, Prince flipped her onto her stomach and slid deep into her core. He held her hands and rocked into her—nothing like she’d ever experienced. His moves were sudden and animalistic.
Prince had found a striking point within her that intensified so quickly, she realized it was leading her to orgasm far sooner than she wanted.
“Do you feel that?” he asked. “Rightthere.”
A lick of pleasure rippled through her, just a taste of what was to come. Kat was breathing so fast that dirt blew in front of her face. Her fingers clawed into the earth, and instinct told her to widen her legs instead of rising up on her knees. A coil of need tightened between her legs, and nothing he did was enough to sate that desire.
“Yes,” he hissed, quickening his thrusts.
“Not yet! Charming…” She was embarrassed at how determined he was to make her come and how easy the task seemed to be.
He pounded harder. “Release your inhibitions and give in to your instincts. Your wolf knows she’s with a pureblood. The heat will take you first.”
This was like nothing she’d ever experienced.What kind of ancient was he?Liquid heat surged through her body, and she trembled at its power. Her wolf was on the cusp of coming out—but not. The Shifter magic within them swirled and spiraled into a heavenly oblivion.
The provocative sounds he made were a mixture of growls and ancient words she didn’t understand. The man who cared about appearances and rules now had his elbows in the dirt, cursing as she moaned beneath him.
“Oh God, what’s happening?” She gasped, feeling an unexpected pressure.
He kissed her neck, a current of possession resonating in his tone as he slowed. “I’m not just an ancient, Kat. I’m from a powerful line of purebloods. I’m going to get bigger, so I need you to relax and trust me. You feel sotight…”
Specks of light flashed before her eyes and her muscles tensed. Prince’s shaft felt twice the size around as it had been when they started, and my God, she’d never felt anything so hot in all her life.
“I need more!” she demanded, lifting her hips, commanding him to go deep.
Prince roared, sitting up and grabbing onto her hips until their flesh was slapping together. And then it happened, like a Mage blasting her with energy, only ecstasy instead of pain.
Kat’s body relaxed before she came. The wave took over her entire being, deep within her core and radiating down her limbs. Prince kept going and would periodically stop, then thrust deep once again. He was having multiple orgasms, and this went on for what seemed like an eternity while she continued having light flutters of her own.
They collapsed against each other, spent and wrapped together in a knot of arms and legs.
“And tell me again how it is you’re not mated?” she asked with a laugh of disbelief. “Exactly whatwasthat?”
He rolled onto his back and pulled her against him. “Few women have ever experienced that with me. And by few I mean only three. I always hold back.”
“Why?”
He averted his eyes. “It frightens them because I’m not like other Shifters; they don’t understand it. The last one tensed during the act and became so frightened it… it regretfully caused her pain. I immediately stopped, but she wasn’t receptive of my explanation, and I never saw her again.”
“It’s not something you can help.”
“The ritual is reserved for mates who trust each other. If the trust isn’t there, then it can be uncomfortable. I vowed to never again let myself feel that kind of unrestrained desire for a woman, not if it meant them experiencing even a moment of discomfort. But with you—with you I feel I can be myself completely. Had you been in heat, it would have given us children.”
“Well, that would have happened whether you had a superpenis or not.”
A laugh burst out of his mouth, and he threw his arm over his eyes. She pulled it away, realizing Prince was uncomfortable with spontaneous laughter, as if it revealed a weakness. Perhaps he felt it wasn’t permissible for a man of his authority to display an emotional reaction that could result in someone not taking him seriously as a leader. She’d seen it happen before, and maybe that was why her heart melted a little whenever she managed to draw him out of his shell.
“Pregnancy most often occurs with repeated intercourse,” he said. “Most mated couples will engage throughout her cycle, increasing her odds to conceive. The temptation can hardly be helped. With someone like me, it would only take one time.”
“So why isn’t everyone, um… built like you?”
He put his arm behind his head, and she imagined what he must have looked like as a man living in the fourteen hundreds. “Each pureblood family had unique traits that were lost over time as they mated outside their animal or with someone who came from a Shifter family with mixed heritage anywhere in their ancestry. I suppose Mother Nature phases out things she finds unnecessary.”
Kat kissed his chest and gave him an indulgent smile. “Chickens having wings is unnecessary. But that? That wasreallynecessary. How about we do it my way next time?”
“I’m afraid to ask what that might involve.”
