Maya wanted more.
“Cole, please,” she begged.
Cole growled and removed his hand completely. Maya had just started to mourn the loss when he tore down her jeans and panties. Maya glanced back at the door, worried that the agent who’d showed her to the room might come back.
“Don’t worry,” Cole said as he moved into position behind her then placed her hands on the bed. “When I asked her to come and get you, I told her that I didn’t want to be disturbed.”
Maya only had a moment to be embarrassed about what the agent might have thought about that before Cole positioned his cock at her entrance then pushed inside her in one long, fluid movement. She cried out, arching her back, then came back to her senses and clamped her hand over her mouth.
“Don’t hold back,” Cole said. “No one will hear you down here.”
She had a brief flash of the female agent waiting in her office at the end of the corridor and she wasn’t so sure about that, but then Cole moved inside her and she lost the ability to hold a coherent thought. All she could do was feel. And feel she did.
Cole thrust into her again and again until Maya was almost out of her mind with pleasure. Cole lifted up her top and held her breasts and as he pushed into her, Maya moved her hips back in time to his thrusts.
“That’s it,” he said, his voice a growly rasp. “Move yourself on my cock.”
He pinched her nipples through the thin material of her bra and continued to thrust, each time it felt harder and deeper than the time before. Cole kissed his way down her neck and when his teeth clamped down on her shoulder, it occurred to Maya how very close to the surface his animal side was.
“I want to bite you,” he said against her neck.
Why did that idea hold such appeal?
“It’s how shifters claim their mates,” he explained as he pressed his teeth harder against her skin without breaking the surface.
She leaned her head back, and Cole continued to move inside her.
“What does it mean when you claim me?” she asked breathlessly.
“It means that you’re mine, forever.”
She frowned. “But I’m already yours.”
Cole stilled. “So, you’ll let me. You’ll let me bite you?”
“Will it hurt?”
“Only for a moment.”
Maya’s body tingled all over, hanging on a precipice, and she knew inexplicably what it would take to send her careening over the edge. She was Cole’s anyway, what did it matter if they sealed the deal with a bite?
“Do it,” she said. “Bite me.”
Cole groaned and Maya braced herself, waiting for the bite. It never came. Instead, Cole tore his mouth away from her neck and tilted her head so that he could kiss her. At the same time, he slid a hand lower, his fingers finding her clit once again, and he began to stroke her in earnest.
Maya felt overloaded with sensation. The kiss, Cole’s cock moving inside her, his finger rubbing against her clit, all of it combined to send her out of her mind with pleasure. She came, hard, and as she threw her head back, Cole bit into her neck and without warning, her orgasm intensified.
Maya shouted out her pleasure to the room, this time uncaring who could hear her. She was dimly aware of Cole grunting out her name as he came inside her. Afterward, Cole slipped his softening cock free, then turned Maya to meet his eyes.
“You’re mine now,” he informed her, his gaze penetrating. “The bond can’t be broken.”
“I was already yours,” Maya said. “It was fate, remember?”
The expression on Cole’s face morphed into one of serenity. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.”
Maya grinned. “Me either. Here’s to another forty years of happiness together.”
Cole frowned. “Fortyyears? Shifters live for centuries, as do their mates. That bite right there has just sealed your fate.”
Maya’s gentle laugh rippled around the room. It was a good thing she enjoyed surprises.
