"Julian, I'm close, I'm so close..."
"Not yet." His voice has gone rough and commanding. "Not until I tell you to."
The authority in his tone makes me clench around him and he groans. One of his hands slides between us to where we're joined and his fingers find my clit.
"That's it," he encourages. "Let me hear you. No one can hear us in here."
His fingers circle and press and the pleasure builds to something unbearable. I'm right on the edge, trembling with the effort of holding back, when he finally gives permission.
"Now. Come for me now."
I shatter. The orgasm rips through me like lightning and I feel my body clenching rhythmically around his cock. The sensation triggers something in him and he follows me over the edge.
I can feel the exact moment his orgasm hits. His whole body goes rigid. Then he's shuddering above me, his cock pulsing inside me as he comes. His hands grip my hips almost bruisingly tight and I feel him filling me with his release. He keeps thrusting through it, drawing out both our orgasms until we're both trembling and gasping.
But something else happens too. Something he warned me about but I wasn't prepared for.
The bond snaps into place with physical force.
Silver light explodes between us, so bright I have to close my eyes against it. The sensation is overwhelming and intense and I can feel Julian's emotions bleeding into mine. His pleasure and his fear and his desperate need all tangled together with my own until I can't tell where I end and he begins.
The light fades but the sensation doesn't. I can feel him inside my mind now, can sense his presence like a constant hum under my ribs. The bond is alive and electric and absolutely terrifying.
"Nova." Julian's voice sounds shaken. "Can you feel that?"
"Yes." I'm trembling beneath him. "Is that normal?"
"For mates, yes." He lifts his head to look at me and his eyes are wide with wonder and fear. "We're bonded now. Truly bonded. I can feel everything you're feeling."
Julian's breathing is ragged against my throat, his body trembling above me. "I need to move. Is that okay?"
"Yes. Please."
He does, and even the smallest motion sends sparks of pleasure through both of us. I can feel his pleasure through the bond now, can sense how good I feel to him, and the feedback loop between us builds toward something impossible.
His mouth finds my shoulder and I feel his teeth scraping against the skin. There's a moment of warning, a flash of intention through the bond, and then he bites down.
The claiming mark.
Pain and pleasure explode through me simultaneously. His teeth break the skin and I feel his wolf claiming me through the bite, marking me permanently as his and irreversible. The sensation triggers another orgasm and this one is different,deeper, more intense because I can feel his pleasure feeding into mine through the bond.
We ride it out together, his body pressed tight against mine, and when it finally recedes we're both shaking and gasping.
He pulls out carefully and I can feel his seed leaking out of me, something primal about it that makes my wolf purr with satisfaction.
But Julian doesn't give me time to catch my breath. He flips me over onto my hands and knees on the couch and I feel his cock hard against my entrance again already.
"Again," he says, and his voice has gone rough and possessive. "I need you again."
He slides back inside and the new angle makes me cry out. He's even deeper like this and I can feel him hitting places that make stars burst behind my eyes.
This time he doesn't hold back. He grips my hips and drives into me with deep, powerful thrusts that make the couch creak beneath us. I can hear the wet sounds of him fucking me and the slap of skin on skin each time he bottoms out inside me.
"Say it," he demands, his hand fisting in my hair and pulling my head back. "Say you're mine."
"I'm yours." The words come out breathless and desperate. "Yours, Julian, only yours."
"That's right." He drives into me harder, his cock stretching me with each brutal thrust. "Mine. My mate. My student. Mine to protect and claim and fuck whenever I want."
