Fortunately, she’d pocketed her keys. As soon as she slipped them into the lock, I glanced at the moon once again. Maybe it would be easier if I was a beast subject to the flow of earthly patterns. Yet I was glad I wasn’t a werewolf. That could get awfully messy.
Laughing, once inside, I locked the door while she flicked on a single light.
“Wait here,” she said, pointing to her foyer floor.
“Yes, ma’am.” I watched as she moved from room to room. She was making certain all the blinds were closed. When she returned, she stood in front of me just out of my reach, her mouth twisted in frustration. “You’re a wolf.”
“Yes.”
“You love me.”
“Yes,” I said, deepening my voice.
She nodded a couple of times. “You won’t lie to me again. Like ever?”
“No, I won’t.”
“I’m going to hold you to that.”
“Please do.”
As soon as she dragged her tongue across her bottom lip, I allowed a slight but very husky growl. “And we’re mates.”
Now I hesitated, uncertain what or if she wanted me to tell her the God’s honest truth, but somehow, I had a feeling this was all one big test. “Yes, we are.”
Another nod and she looked away.
Only for a split second before getting off a running start and jumping into my arms. She wrapped both her arms and legs around me and that was all of the answer I needed. I crushed my mouth over hers, bumping and grinding together as I thrust my tongue inside and stumbled down the hallway toward her bedroom.
She moaned into the kiss as she tried her best to dominate my tongue, slapping her hands against the wall until I figured outwhere she wanted me to go. I managed, allowing her to turn on a single light while our lips were still locked.
Goddamn, she tasted sweet, cherries and something like Coke. That was it. What a magnificent combination. I was still enthralled as I spun her around, our collective actions rough and needy.
She jerked my shirt, struggling to yank it over my head. We had to break the kiss for her to be able to yank it over my head. With a laugh, she tossed it aside, planting her palms on my chest while slapping our lips together once again. She was daring to take control or at least trying very hard to usurp my authority.
I was having none of it. After pushing her back, I removed her shirt, twirling the material in the air before pitching it away. We both laughed while she clawed my skin, raking her nails over my shoulder and down my back. Oh, did the wild woman know what she was doing to me? I could feast on her for hours, but I hungered to have my cock shoved deep inside.
And I would, multiple times.
She truly thought she was getting control. Her legs were stronger than I remembered and she was almost able to garner some control, but when I placed my knee on the bed, all bets were off.
She had no idea just how hungry I’d been since catching her watching me the first time. She had no idea her presence had spurred me on. You bet I’d been furious when the bastards had challenged my shot. And hearing her exclamation had been like some sweet cherries added to a cake I hadn’t known I needed.
Winning had meant everything.
But being with her right now like this, perfection.
I dropped her onto her knees, immediately ripping at the button on her jeans. She was doing the same with me, yanking at what was left of my uniform. Since I’d been barefoot after taking my skates off, she had a partial advantage.
Until I pushed her down onto the bed, giving her an authoritative look. The little bad bunny was going to see what happened when she teased a wolf.
I ripped off her shoes, tossing them with far too much power, smashing them against the wall. She continued fighting me, trying to sit, but I refused to allow her, wrangling her jeans and thong together. As soon as I ripped them free of her luscious body, she let loose a raging growl that rivaled mine.
Maybe she was more of a mate than I’d realized. With a grin on my face, I allowed her to tug on my jersey pants, finally able to yank them off.
Now that we were both naked, I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close. The feel of her heated body pressed against mine was far more exciting than anything I’d been through during the game.
I raked my hands down her back, cupping and squeezing her bottom while she roamed her hands down my arms. She was going to be the death of this boy if I couldn’t thrust my dick deep inside soon.
