“Reed,” I breathed his name while my fingers traced over his body. “Once we start, I don't know if I'll be able to stop.”
He grabbed both sides of my face. “There. Will. Be. No. Stopping.” He yanked off his old tee that I was wearing with trembling fingers before his hands splayed across my chest and my body lit up as if someone had set a match to my skin.
“But give me a minute.” Reed held up one finger. “Explain in twenty words or less Alpha Omega.”
“I’m kind of the boss, but not really, of the pack and as my mate, you’d have a title too.”
“Cool. I’d be the not really add on. Okay back to regular programming.”
"You have no idea what you do to me.” I placed my hands on his waist and inserted my thumbs under thewaistband of his pajama pants. He giggle snorted, saying he was ticklish. “Your scent and how you move… I’ve been fighting my instinct and I can’t any more.”
“Stop fighting.” Reed stroked my face. “I’m yours and I want to be tied to you.” His mouth gaped. “I only realized that this minute. I’m yours forever.”
Even without looking in the mirror, I knew my eyes were the darkest they’d ever been. “When it happens… the mating, you might be overwhelmed as if you’ve been hit by a truck and I want you to be prepared.”
“I assumed it was pleasurable but being bowled over by a huge vehicle won’t be fun. Are you sure you have this right?” Reed narrowed his eyes. “Wait, this is your first time, right?”
I pursed my lips but laughter bubbled out of me. “Are we really doing this now? Talking about our previous sex life?”
“What? No. Yuck and double yuck. I’m asking about mating.”
Thank gods. Everything except Reed was in the past and I was burying those memories because he was my one and only.
“First and only time mating, forever and ever more.”
“But I want to know more about the truck thing. Will I have to be hospitalized?”
I rested my head on his chest and his heartthundered beneath me. “It’s like coming home. Or so I’ve heard. That’s how it’s described in shifter literature.”
"Then we'd better make it count.” Reed pulled me in for another kiss.
Reed's heart was still racing as he pressed against me and his tongue was desperate to get inside my mouth.
His words, “I’m yours forever,” echoed in my head and I was giddy, floating and drunk with happiness. All the things, because he was committing himself to me for always. His heightened scent swirled around us, teasing and tormenting me and ramping up my desire.
Taking a deep breath, I allowed his unique scent to filter into and fill me. Each time I did that, in and out, his breath mingled with mine and calmed me, removing the frisson of tension I experienced because I was worried I wouldn’t be good enough for him.
His mouth was so soft and I lost myself in the taste of him. But while my tongue was inside him, taunting his to tangle and wrestle, my cock longed to thrust into his channel making him writhe with my name on his lips.
“I love you,” I mumbled into his mouth so the words became a part of him.
“Right back at you.”
I broke away and nibbled at the delicate skin on histhroat, trailing kisses lower as he whimpered and tugged my hair. I paused and wallowed in the delicious fusing of pain and pleasure, similar to an ache laced in something sweet.
“More, please.” Reed wriggled beneath me as he shimmied down his pajama pants.
I rolled off him, gazing hungrily at his cock, stiff and pink-tipped, as it stood at attention. His length needed some love, so I shoved my tongue in the slit, capturing the tiny morsel of pre-cum.
Reed groaned and arched his back and I parted my lips and allowed him entry.
“Roscoe!” He bucked his hips and fucked my mouth. Gods, he was thick and warm. I grazed my teeth over the shaft while flicking the head with my tongue.
“Your tongue is magic too.” Reed’s eyes were closed and his head lolled to the side as he urged me to go faster.
But I slid off him and he wailed, calling me a party pooper as his eyes opened and he got on both elbows. His swollen lips and come hither gaze sent a signal to my cock. I was so hard it was painful and I couldn’t mess up by coming before I was inside him.
Raising my hips from the mattress, I whipped off my underwear and my length slapped Reed’s thigh.
