Not human meant not human dating standards.
“Yes. That’s my good mate.” Braun nearly purred the words out but his hold was still tight and was making my brain floaty. “All you have to do is relax for me and let me mark you.”
Mark me.
Because I was his mate.
“That’s right, Wölfchen, and my mate wants to wear my mark.” Braun’s voice got lower and something about it had my eyes closing as I barely tugged against his tight hold. “You belong to me, don’t you? You can fight. Let me feel you.”
Permission should’ve made it feel silly but I found myself squirming against him and moaning as his almost painful grip sent waves of pleasure through me. “I can’t…you’re so…”
Big.
He was so big and strong.
“You can’t get away from me.” It should’ve sounded scary since he had me trapped against him, but it was the sexiest thing I’d ever heard. “You’re mine and all you have to do is give me what I want. Isn’t that right?”
I might’ve nodded. I thought about it but my hands were shaking and it took all my concentration to work the buttons on my shirt. But Braun’s low moan and the way his body seemed to vibrate around me kept me from shattering into a million pieces. “You’re going to be such a good mate for me. Moan again, Wölfchen. Let me hear you.”
That was an easier order to obey.
An order.
I should’ve told him…something…but he was my mate and I didn’t want him to question what he needed.
“Beautiful, Wölfchen.” As I wondered if he meant me or my moan, he tilted me back and held me with a strength that showed just how not human he really was. “You’re going to be even more perfect wearing my mark, mate.”
His mate.
My legs definitely weren’t holding me up any longer but with his thigh between my legs that wasn’t a problem.
Oh wow.
Lips wrapped around one nipple as his hand dug into my ass and I knew I was going to feel him everywhere tomorrow. I couldn’t help bucking against him but that just made his strength more obvious and made me feel helpless.
The word wasn’t right because there was nothing scary in the crazy whirl of emotions he was sending through me. I’d never felt anything like it, though, and when he added his teeth and white-hot pleasure that fired through me, I exploded.
I could feel myself shaking and heard myself cry out as I bucked against him, but he kept up the never-ending pleasure until I was boneless against him. When he’d forced every drop of pleasure from me, he pressed a kiss right over my nipple and straightened enough to wrap himself around me. “Ancestors above, Wölfchen, you’re beautiful.”
The whispered words kept embarrassment at bay but nothing could stop my questions. “That wasn’t a hickey. Can I do that to you? What did you do? Was I supposed to come?”
He chuckled against my neck, giving me another kiss and sounding very pleased with himself. “I marked my mate.”
He was such a drama queen.
“What does that mean?” Ugh. “Sit down.”
Braun was still chuckling as he lowered us to the ground, and kept his arms wrapped around me tight as he settled me on his lap. “Okay, um. Think of it like a temporary magical hickey.”
Good grief.
He looked too pleased with himself to feel any remorse for giving me a magical hickey, so I decided to get my questions answered first and lecture later. “What does it do?”
Barely stroking one finger over my nipple sent a shockwave through me and it was almost like he’d made me come again a second time. “Fuck.”
“Oh, my sexy math teacher has a potty mouth. Naughty mate.” Still wearing an ear-to-ear grin, Braun kissed my forehead as the shivers faded. “It’s a little way of letting our mates carry us around with them.”
Like a hickey.
