“Come here,” she said, pulling him to her.
He climbed up between her legs, his cock straining against his boxers. He licked her breasts, sucking her nipples the way she liked before stripping out of his underwear. He slid on a condom, and she spread her legs for him. Throbbing and wet.
“Fuck me,” she breathed, running her hand over her breasts.
He settled over her, angling his cock to her entrance.
“Siren. My dark angel. My Goddess. My love.” He kissed her neck, her cheek, her lips as he pushed inside her.
He fit her like a dream. Like her mate. She wrapped her legs around him, pulled him deeper until he was fully seated inside her.
She came almost instantly; her eyes locked on his as he held himself still above her.
“Reed,” she breathed, caressing his face. She kissed him, hard and deep, pulling him into her.
He held her tight, his hips moving in slow undulating waves as he took her body for himself. It was as if he could read her thoughts. He knew her to the core. He was in her flow. His cock hit every nerve ending like it belonged to her.
Having him inside her felt like everything. She wanted it all, and more. Her canines sharpened. The inner wolf howled, demanding to claim her mate.
She knew resisting was futile. She was falling in love with him, and she couldn’t stop it. She still hadn’t told him she loved him. She was still holding back, and she didn’t know why anymore.
They were still on the run. Still searching for evidence against Ashcroft and Draven. Still trying to solve the crimes against shifters and Fate Mountain.
It wasn’t time yet. Even if she could let her guard down and let him in. She knew this wasn’t the moment. Reed deserved so much more.
He’d been so brave. So steady. So willing to accept her for exactly who she was. Gave her exactly what she needed. All her kinksand fetishes. All her need for control. He’d been down for it all. And she never felt like she had to hide or hold back.
But she knew he deserved the love and tenderness she hadn’t been willing to show. And she wanted to give it to him. A tear slid down her face as Reed brought them both to climax, her arms around him.
He was her man. Her mate. The one she’d been waiting for. The person who could fill all the empty places she’d attempted to hide. Soon, she would show him everything. She would give him all the love she’d been holding back for so long.
Chapter
Twenty
They parkedbehind a barn on a dead-end road in the middle of a cornfield. There weren’t any houses for miles in all directions.
“Todays the day,” Siren said, checking her Glock.
Reed had been dreading those words since their first desensitization session. They both knew his bear still needed training. And after days of directionless driving and sex out of a XXX film, she’d finally decided it was time.
“We’ll start with single shots,” she said. “Your job is to stay human.”
“Okay,” he said, his voice weaker than he wanted it to be.
“Don’t focus on the sound. Focus on me. Stay connected to something outside your head.”
He nodded and tried to unclench his jaw. They climbed out of the van and positioned themselves in the clearing behind the barn.
“Ready?”
She shot before he could reply. The crack split the air, and Reed’s whole body jerked like he’d taken a bullet. His bear surged, clawing to the surface, desperate to face the threat. Fur rippled down his arms. His vision sharpened as his eyes tried to shift.
But he held it back.
“Good.” Siren said. “Again.”
She fired.
