She pulls back slightly, her lips swollen and now red from our kisses, as she takes my head in her small hands. “Falon, we need to slow down. You almost died.”
“I will die without your touch, little morsel. I need you more than my next breath. Stop thinking I am going to break. You are the only thing holding me together.” I glance past her, glad to see we are now alone and the door is closed. I was so caught up in her that I did not even hear them leave.
Then I pull her flush against me hard enough that I feel her gasp against my lips before I claim her mouth with savage intent, one hand fisting in her hair so that I can angle her head where I wantit. The other slides down her body, grasping her ass as I grind against her. The feel of her small, quivering body in my arms has me aching for more, my bond needing to taste the smell that has drawn me in from the beginning.
I tear my mouth from hers and drag my lips down her throat and enjoy the rapid fluttering of her pulse as my tongue traces her neck, a place that will wear my marks soon. I move down the slope of her collarbone to the swell of her breasts, peeking at me through the thin shirt she has on. I elongate one of my claws as I grab the bottom, a wicked smile on my face as I see the material part easily, baring her completely to my gaze.
She is so beautiful, her pale skin flushed pink in arousal as her nipples seek out my touch. My hand covers her beautiful breast, while my other one covers almost her whole back, and our size difference makes my cock throb. She is so small and fragile and all MINE!
“Falon, don’t tease me.”
“Patience, little morsel, I plan on devouring you slowly.”
I lower my mouth to her breast, taking her nipple between my lips and suck. Edie arches her back and if I had not been holding her, she would have fallen backward as she was moaning out my name. The taste of her skin floods my senses, and I feel the bond reach for her. I lavish attention on one breast then the other, learning what makes her gasp, and what makes her grind against me harder. Each time my teeth scrape across her sensitive peak, she makes a sound that goes straight to my cock. Leaning her back more, I slide lower, my tongue tracing a path down her stomach, pausing only long enough to dip inside the interesting little indentation there.
Edie is trembling, but not from the cold, or from doubt or fear. It is amazing how want overrides the doubts when you allow yourself to just feel. The smell of her is rich and intoxicating. The scent of female arousal,myfemale’s arousal, the one made just for me, is incredible.
I turn us so she is now sitting on the bed, and I am kneeling before her. Allowing her time to change her mind, I hook my hands under her luscious little ass, lifting her up as I slide the loose pants she has on off, only to find a small scrap of material still hiding her from me. Running my hands up her soft legs, I snake my claws under the fabric, cutting it off before settling myself between her thighs.
Pulling the material away, I glance up at her as I drape her legs over my shoulders, her most intimate flesh bared to my gaze, wet and glistening. And my mouth waters at the sight. “Look at you, so perfect and all mine.”
My tongue parts her folds in one long stroke, and the taste of her explodes across my senses as I feel my mate bond pushing for me to tie her to us always. She is sweet, musky, and I am addicted. Edie screams, clamping her thighs around my head as her hips grind against my mouth. I hold her down with one hand splayed across her stomach, keeping her in place while I feast upon her like a male starved.
I explore her like she is my final quest in life, learning every fold and secret place, only to come upon a pleasure point that has her pulling at my hair. When I close my lips over this little pearl, she wails out a sound that echoes all around us. I cannot help but smile, hoping they all heard the pleasure I am giving my mate. I ease one finger inside her, and the tightness nearly has me releasing like a youngling. Her inner walls grip my single digitlike a fist, and the very thought of trying to get my cock inside her makes me groan.
“Little morsel, you are going to feel every inch of me, but oh, how we are going to enjoy it.”
I do not think she is even hearing my words, especially when I insert a second finger, slowly stretching her as I find another magical spot inside that also makes her scream. My tongue works her little pearl relentlessly while my fingers pump in and out. I can feel her body tensing as it heads toward her peak.
“Let go, little morsel, feed me all that is you.”
Her release crashes over her as her inner walls clench around my fingers. Her entire body is shaking from the force of it, and it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My eyes memorize every detail as her body continues to quiver. The mate bond pushes me to finish this, to make her mine but I hesitate. Even though my cock is hanging hard between my legs, I need to make sure this is truly what she wants. She needs to understand there is no going back if I finish this.
I press a kiss on her inner thigh and crawl up her body. Her eyes widen when she sees my cock, and I cannot help but preen a little. I push further up into the bed, pulling her along with me. She is boneless in my arms.
“It appears that practice really does make perfect. I have been looking at all this wrong … that was …”
“Just a taste of how good things can be between us, my perfect female. And I must tell you I have never experienced anything as powerful or fulfilling as that.”
She snuggles up to my side and I reach down to grab a blanket, covering us both.
I know she is still awake, but I am allowing her to work through all of this herself. Her next words, though, I am not expecting.
“This is nice, pretty much one of the best things that has happened to me in a while.”
“You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, little morsel.”
“Falon, you may not always feel that way since you don’t really know me.”
“We have all the time in the universe to learn each other. I trust in the God of Ruk. He does not make mistakes. If we fail, it will be our fault, not for any other reason. One thing you will quickly learn about me is that I do not accept failure. I will spend the rest of my risings doing everything in my power to make you happy.”
“As corny as that all sounded, somehow, I believe you. But bless your heart, you might have drawn the short stick. Falon honey, I’m a handful. Half the time, I don’t even like myself. I’m judgmental, cranky, and well, just a bitch mostly. You may find you’ve been sentenced to a lifetime of hell.”
“You may be all those things, but something in your life had to have caused those reactions, and that is the reason why you have guarded your heart so fiercely. It is my job to unlock the laughter, love, and acceptance that will erase all those things. We will become more together than we were apart.”
“Good thing you’re not a car salesman because you almost have me talked into this. I want the happily-ever-after, Falon, and I want to say I’m a big enough person to never hold someone else’sfaults against them, but I know me. I’m great at pointing out someone else’s wrongs, but too shallow minded to realize I am not perfect either.”
“I am not asking for perfect, Edie. I am asking you to take a chance on something you have never had before. To believe there might be something larger than either of us, and that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. If you can do that, the rest is just incidental. Quiet your mind and rest, the last few risings have been a lot. Just let me hold you in my arms, and the world and all the problems waiting for us on the other side of those doors can wait.”
