A soft whimper breaks from her throat, and I pull back instantly, checking her, grounding her.Terrified I will do something that sets her back into her fear and panic.
“Are you okay?”I whisper.
She nods, breathless.“More.”
I kiss her again, letting her control the pressure, the pace, and the closeness.Her fingers tangle in my hair.Her body presses against mine, her breast to my chest, my erection brushing against her abdomen.Her heartbeat stutters against my chest like wings.
Every sound she makes pulls praise from my lips without thought.
“Good girl.You’re so brave.”
Her whole body shivers.“Can I touch you?”
“Anything you want, sweetheart.”The words are a broken growl as they fall from my lips.
Her small hand trembles as it traces down my stomach before circling around my rock-hard cock, drawing a hiss from my lips.Her gaze collides with mine, questioning.
“Your hand feels good on me,” I clarify.
“Oh,” she blushes, stroking gently, watching my reaction.
“Fuck,” I hiss between gritted teeth, thrusting shallowly into her hand.
“What now?”
“Whatever you want.”
“I, I want you to touch me.”
I pull her to me, my control slipping as I kiss her deeply, harder than before.She moans in the back of her throat, tightening her grip on my cock.My hands find their own path on my mate’s naked body, one caressing her ass while the other learns the curve of her full left breast.
Her whole body shivers.
“Silas,” she whispers against my mouth, “I want you.”
“Aria...”My voice cracks.
“Is something wrong?”
“I’m ...afraid,” I say softly.“I don’t want to do anything that will trigger you or make you feel unsafe.”
She smiles.The first true smile I’ve ever seen and it lights up her face and my entire world.“Nothing you do could ever scare me, Silas.You are my anchor.”
Her words wash over me and calm the raging war inside me.“Will you to tell me to stop if it’s too much?”
“Yes.”
The moment the word leaves her lips, I lift her into my arms and carry her to my bed.I don’t drop her down but softly lay her in the center.This first time, when we are still learning each other and setting our bond will be slow and gentle.Next time, I will rut her like my beast demands.
I stare at her for long moments before I dip my head low and suck one of her nipples into my mouth.Her back arches off the bed as a moan falls from her lips.I taste the coppery tang of blood and sweat on her skin and all it does is make me crave her more.
I lick and kiss my way across her stomach until I reach the apex of her thighs, pushing her legs apart to stare at the patch of hair covering the thing I crave most.My knees hit the wooden floor with a harsh thud as my lips cover her sex.She moans wantonly as I explore her pussy at leisure, her hands tangled in my hair.
“Please, please!”
I push a single finger inside her, pumping shallowly as I suck on her distended clit, sending an orgasm crashing through her.Her entire body shakes with pleasure as I kiss back the same path until I reach her lips.
“Look at me sweetheart,” I demand, waiting until she opens her eyes.
