They lay in the dark, side-by-side under the blankets. She could feel the warmth radiating off of him.
Her wolf was scratching and clawing and howling inside her mind. The scent of him filled her nostrils, driving her inner animal wild with need.
Siren had never experienced anything even remotely like this. She wanted him in every way. But the fear of what that meant, what it would do to her if she gave in to the desire to claim him, it kept her paralyzed in place.
The song he sang for her at the campfire was replaying in her mind.
“Reed?” she said in a low voice.
“Yeah?”
“Was that song about me?” she asked before she could stop herself. Deep down she knew it was. She knew he wanted her as much as she wanted him. He’d been honest about it from day one. And she knew that if she reached out, he would be right there waiting.
“Yeah.”
The silence stretched between them. “Is that okay?” he asked.
“I can’t stop you from writing songs about me.” The words came out harsh and wrong. It wasn’t what she meant to say.
“I’d do anything you wanted if you told me to.”
She turned to him and found him looking at her in the darkness. The moonlight glowing through the thin curtains sparkled in his eyes.
“Anything?” she asked, her inner wolf demanding she touch him.
“I feel like I should test to see if that’s true,” she said.
“I’m up for it,” he said. “I want to pass your tests.”
“Really? I can be a harsh taskmaster.”
“That’s my favorite kind.”
Her wolf was pacing urgently behind her eyes, demanding she take him up on the offer.
“I don’t think you know what you are asking for.”
“There’s only one way to find out.”
Siren shoved Reed onto his back and climbed on top of him, straddling his hips.
His hands came up to touch her, and she caught his wrists, pressing them down onto the mattress on either side of his head.
He moaned as she licked his face. His cock grew hard instantly, pressing against her wet pussy with relentless insistence.
“You like that, don’t you?”
“Yes,” he said.
She purred, tilting her hips to rub herself over his length. “I’ve been thinking about this since the first night in the hotel. You’ve got such a lovely cock. Do you want to put it inside me?”
“Yes.”
She reached inside his sweatpants, through the waistband of his boxers and found him thick and hard and ready. She gripped his length and squeezed, moaning in his ear.
“You’re so hard for me. Now take your clothes off.”
She climbed off him and watched him scramble out of his clothing. He laid back down, naked and hard and waiting for her. Power hummed through her blood. Her wolf purred, finally getting what she wanted.
