I knew I needed to tell her, needed her to realize howshe was the only mate I’d ever have. That we shared a common bond.
Bale might have revealed his shifted form to her, but it had been done with the intent to drive her away. It was the opposite for me. I wanted her to know all the pieces of me, wanted her to know who and what was wrapping its arms around her.
“I should—” I nipped and tugged at her lips. “You should know—” I thrust into her harder now.
Harlow’s heels dug into the top of my ass, her hips grinding up against me at the bottom of each driving force into her.
“Doesn’t matter. Just need this. Need you,” she gasped out.
My confession died amongst the flare of primal desire. All restraint shattered.
Now all that mattered was the way I slammed my cock into her body, feeling the way her pussy clenched around me, drawing me back in every time I pulled back.
Each downward motion carried enough force to rock the bed on its frame. Each thrust had her crying out louder for me. Our connection cemented into something harder than steel in the process.
Between every grunt was a string of curses. Harlow wasn’t just perfect; she was what perfection modeled itself after.
Her hands were all over my body now, raking sharp lines across my flesh that threatened to bleed. I didn’t feel pain, only ownership. She owned me, and I was hers to ruin.
I buried my face against the side of her neck, breathing in the scent of her blood pulsing beneath the surface. My mouth couldn’t get enough of the taste of destiny and salt on her skin.
Bracing myself on one elbow, my hand traced constellations on her body. My palm closed over one of her breasts, squeezing the mound firm enough to hear the rise in pitch of her moans.
“God, Corbin. I—I can’t,” she rasped out as her thighs bracketing my hips trembled.
She was so fucking close, I could feel it in the way her cunt fluttered around my engorged cock. The veins pulsed with the need to find release.
“Yes, you can, Harlow. You’re going to keep taking my dick until you come so hard that your pussy purrs just as loudly as you do.”
I panted against her sweat-damp skin as I kept fucking her like a man willing to throw himself into the fire, willing to burn alive in her flames.
Her back arched, pressing herself into me like a cat bowing its spine playfully.
“Please,” she begged, chanting the word over and over. Her eyes were screwed shut under the building pressure of ecstasy, ready to explode through her body.
Grabbing a handful of those tangled black locks, I angled her face so I could see the moment where she lost herself.
“Eyes on me, Harlow. Fucking let me see you while you come apart.”
When she complied, those molten emeralds remained half-lidded with sin. I slid my hand between our bodies, finding her clit. Unforgiving tight circles against the sensitive bundle of nerves had her instantly clenching around me.
With a shaky breath, my fingers continued their assault until she shattered all around me. The scream of ecstasy that resulted stole my breath away. My hips faltered momentarily as her cunt strangled my dick.
She struggled to focus on me, but damn if it didn’t make me proud that she was fighting against letting her eyes roll back into her pretty little skull.
Grunts of effort mixed with her incoherent babbling to coax her through her release while my control hung by a thread more fragile than a strand of corn silk.
My hand slid up to grab her hip with a bruising pressure as I frantically pounded into her. Now there was only the need to leave my mark inside her.
“Never going to forget how good you feel. Especially when you take all my cum.” My words came out harsh and strained with exertion.
The pressure was building up in my balls, my dick throbbing as her walls clung to me. I knew it was a matter of maybe three more thrusts before I lost myself deep inside her.
Or so I thought.
Instead, even over the sounds of our bodies colliding,I heard it. Harlow’s moans now held the smooth purr of a contented cat. Each vibration rippled through her body.
I fucking blew. Barely managed to fully seat myself inside her as I roared at the sudden snapping of restraint. Hot pulses of my cum shot out of my dick, painting her insides, filling her with my claim.
