“Always,” she said, meaning it with every part of her.
Their loving took on a more serious tone then, their kisses slower and communicating everything.Tenderness.Caring.Love.
Suzie kissed Niall’s shoulders, nibbled his neck, and sucked tiny love bites on his chest.She savored each groan that escaped him, each caught breath as he allowed her to explore.
“No more,” he gasped and settled in to kiss her again with serious intent.“Mine,” he said when their lips parted, and they were both panting.
His hands glided over her body, transmitting silent messages, and she melted against him, enjoying his solid strength.He shaped her breasts with his big hands, the sweetness of his kiss drawing a ragged gasp from her.The man knew how to kiss.Kisses charged with such warmth.When his lips moved lower, sliding down her neck and skimming across the upper swell of her breasts, she sighed.The wet pull of his mouth on her nipple had her wriggling, silently begging for more.
Niall rolled their bodies to shift position, one hand sliding down her torso to cup her hip.
“Niall,” she whispered.
“Am I doing something wrong?”A trace of mischief colored his tone.The man understood precisely what he was doing to her.She ached for him, needing him more than her next breath.
“Please.”It was a touch short of begging, and they both knew it.
Niall didn’t dally any longer.Smart man.He used his knee to part her thighs and resettled his body.But when she glanced at his face, she saw the same desperation.
“My bear is mighty impatient.I’m fighting a losing battle,” he confessed.“He has wanted to claim you from the start.”
“My feline wants the same.”She winked.“She just has better manners than your bear.”
Niall groaned and nibbled the side of her throat, a hairsbreadth from the juncture of her neck and shoulder.He licked the sensitive spot, and a shudder worked through her.That felt amazing.Suzie slid against him, feeling his hardness as she stretched to lick him in the same place.His tremble was gratifying, and she lifted her head to offer him a lazy smile.
“Let’s do it together.I dare you to get the timing right and bite me during my orgasm.”
“No pressure.”His laughing groan had her giggling.
“I’m sure we’ll have fun trying,” she said primly.
He groaned again, but his fingers tightened against her hips, and he moved a fraction before he guided himself to her entrance.Eagerly, she arched into his stroke and sighed at the sense of fullness as he pushed inside her.
“That feels amazing,” she whispered against his neck with an added flicker of her tongue.
“Yes,” he said, laving that fleshy spot on her neck.
It was like poking her finger into a light socket, or at least how she imagined this might feel.Everything inside her lit with amplified pleasure.Maybe it was the moment or their intent.Her lungs labored for air, and she gasped, shuddering.Magical.
Niall flexed his hips, invading and retreating.Filling her while he licked and kissed the marking site.Suzie was more hesitant, uncertain because there would be pain but positive she wanted to take this step.This connection between them would only deepen.
Niall gently raked his teeth over her tender skin, and she jumped, her heart beating impossibly fast.The sensations continued to grow until they became overwhelming.He surrounded her with familiar warmth and bulk, and the flash of anxiety faded.She nibbled and sucked, and it was easy to tell he was feeling a similar exhilaration.The slow climb to pleasure was overwhelming but oh-so-good.
Magic suffused her, and her world stopped before instinct drove her to sink her teeth into Niall’s neck.As the coppery taste filled her mouth, a slice of pain had her freezing.For an instant, there was stillness and nothing but the tick of a clock.Then Niall’s tongue smoothed across his bite mark.Instinct had Suzie mirroring the action, and the pain receded, replaced by pleasure so intense she wasn’t confident her body could contain the blissful sensations.
Niall jerked in her arms, his hips surging against hers.She clutched his shoulders, holding tight through this emotional storm that swirled through her, unprepared when she thought she’d known everything.
Suzie gave one final swipe of her tongue and lifted her head.She’d left a red, raised mark on Niall’s neck, and curious, she skimmed it with her fingertips.
His soft curse had her jerking away, her heart beating extra fast.
“Sweetheart, you’re welcome to touch any time.It’s just that was intense.I’ll show you what I mean.”
Before she could reply, he dragged his tongue over the scar he’d left.It no longer hurt, but the slow sweep of his tongue ignited every nerve ending in her body.Her hips arced upward, making her realize he still impaled her, and they seemed attached more thoroughly than usual.As the thought entered her head, a spasm tore through her.Gods, Niall was right.It was too much.Not enough.
Weakly, she gripped his shoulders and pushed, her breaths harsh in the moonlit bedroom.Niall lifted his head instantly and grinned.She was aware of him and her feline, along with a new presence who gave a loud, pleased chuff.She giggled at the effervescence that danced through her mind.Niall’s bear was delirious with happiness.
“I feel the deeper connection between us,” he said with a trace of awe.
