Caleb groans as he reaches my lips again, pawing at my chest like it’s the only thing grounding him in the moment.
My hands go on autopilot, reaching for him and feeling the muscled planes of his body as that greed fills me.
At once, we’re a mess of hands and limbs, pulling at clothes like we’re possessed. Piece by piece, we’re both stripped down, and the very second I see his tanned skin in the low light, everything in me screams to have more. To take until I can’t anymore.
Completely exposed beneath him, I feel his gaze on me, but there isn’t a flicker of judgment or hesitation in his eyes. Just a quiet reverence, as if returning to something he never thought he would.
He lets go of a shaky breath, leaning in until his forehead presses against mine, body fitting against mine so perfectly. Even the brush of his skin against mine sets my nerves on fire.
“Lila… this is your last chance to back out. To pull away from this,” he says, voice more like a rasp while he struggles to hold back. But even as he waits for my response, his hands idly move along my hips and waist, making me shiver. “Say the words and I will.”
“No,” I’m saying before I can think my way out of it, hands gliding up his back, reacquainting myself with the body I still craved even after everything. “Don’t you dare stop now.”
Caleb seems almost surprised by the demand, but he doesn’t question it. Instead, he captures my mouth again before sliding his hand between our bodies until he reaches the apex of my thighs.
“Then I won’t hold back…”
The prospect makes me shudder the second he brushes against my heat, making me flinch from the sudden spark of pleasure it brings me.
I feel his grin against my lips, and something about it only further stokes the flames of my need for him. Without needing to be told, I part my legs further.
Caleb almost growls against my lips in response, running his fingertips along my need, surely finding me more than ready for him. Through his exploration, he barely muffles his sounds, sounding far too pleased.
I ease into the mattress, gripping the sheets while I take in every spark and every wave, lower belly already tightening.
I get so lost in the sensations that I don’t realize just how far gone Caleb already is, until he’s gradually moving a finger inside me, struggling to keep his moans to himself as if the pleasure is all his instead.
Even before, I never saw this side of him. The almost animalistic need to have this, and to finally sate the urges.
“I’m sorry,” Caleb whispers against my lips before withdrawing his hand and moving it to grip my hip. He settles himself between my legs like he’s barely hanging on to what remains of his sanity. He kisses my neck again, face pressed against my skin. “I can’t help myself… not anymore.”
The raw need in his voice is almost enough to send me over the edge, but as he presses against me, my breath catches.
With a careful yet decisive push forward, Caleb slides inside me.
Bright light blooms behind my eyes at the insertion, and at the same time, we both gasp.
It’s as if the right pieces have fallen into place, and we’ve finally lit the fuse. While the bond was in place before, this is different. So, so different.
Everything in me hums, invigorating and overwhelming at once.
Caleb groans, hips jolting forward from the impact, pulling a moan unbidden from me.
I’ve never seen him so far gone before, like his inner wolf has taken over completely.
And if I’m honest, I think it has.
With his face buried in my neck, lips nipping and kissing occasionally, he pants against my skin and starts to move. His thrusts are shallow and slow at first, but the longer he keeps it up, the more animalistic he sounds.
It’s all he can do to keep going, to bring us both the pleasure we crave.
I try to muffle my own moans, but it’s an impossible feat with the way he thrusts into me like he’s high on this. Just as overwhelmed as I am.
The deeper he takes me, the harder it is to focus on anything other than the sheer bliss of this. In the way his body seems magnetized to mine, chasing after every flare of pleasure regardless of what it takes.
My fingers dig into his back as I surrender to the blazing heat, doing everything I can to hang on.
Caleb’s words are incoherent before long, so lost that I don’t think even I could pull him out of it. He ruts into me like an animal in heat, and as terrifying as it should be, I need it. And I don’t want him to stop.
