Tahnee felt her thighs grow slick, and she yanked off Robb’s belt, before going straight for the buttons and zip of his pants. Her fingers felt clumsy, but she managed to open them up amazingly quickly, and then she dipped her hand inside, cupping her palm over his hard, hot flesh.

Robb groaned, his hips jerking forward into her touch, his mouth leaving her breasts as he threw his head back to let out a long, deep groan. Tahnee liked it when he did that – along with everything else about it, the convulsive bucking of his hips, the way the muscles of his chest shivered – and she gave him a light, and then not so light, squeeze through his underwear, enjoying the way he moaned under her hands.

“You know, I could get used to this – just how long do you think you can hold out, Robbo?” she asked, shooting him a wicked grin as she ran a feather-light touch over his hard length, just enough to tease but nothing like enough to actually get him off. And she knew he kind of hated that nickname, too.

Right on cue, Robb let out a low growl again – though she thought she heard at least a little hint of a laugh in there too.

“Oh, I could keep going all night,” he said, his voice throaty, his fingers suddenly, agonizingly, playing over her, his thumb circling over the center of her pleasure through her underwear. “But can you?”

Tahnee squirmed where she sat on the bench as his fingers relentlessly pressed against her, sending her to heights of pleasure she’d never imagined from only his fingers – and she had to admit, maybe he had a point.

“Okay,” she gasped, when he finally gave her a moment’s space to breathe. “I guess I can go easy on you. This time. But I hope you remember how merciful I’m being right now.”

“Your magnanimity is duly noted,” Robb said, and Tahnee almost had to roll her eyes. Is this what I’ve been reduced to? Dirty talk that sounds like the minutes from a meeting?

But she had to admit, it was so Robb that it still sounded hot to her, even though that was pretty obviously ridiculous.

“Well, start noting it a little harder,” she groaned, as Robb kissed his way down her throat. “We haven’t got all day.”

Again, Robb’s laugh was little more than a vibration against her. “All right. But remember, you asked for it.”

That I did, Tahnee thought with a shiver as Robb’s hands dropped to her hips. She held herself up on the countertop with her palms, lifting her butt so Robb could slide her pants down her thighs, taking her underwear with them.

With that done, Tahnee didn’t waste any time herself, shoving Robb’s pants down over the sharp points of his hips, and allowing his hard cock to spring free.

Tahnee couldn’t help but stare – and, she thought, she might have been embarrassed at the way her mouth actually started to water at the sight of it, if she hadn’t been completely beyond even the idea of embarrassment.

Reaching out, she wrapped her hand around it, feeling how hard and hot it was against her palm. Robb made a strangled noise in his throat, which sent a stab of need straight to the core of her, and she knew that there was just no way she could possibly wait any longer.

“I want you,” she whispered into his ear – and she knew she wouldn’t have to tell him twice.

Immediately, she felt his hands where she wanted them between her legs, as he kissed her again, his tongue delving inside her mouth as his fingers slipped inside her. Tahnee moaned, the sound muffled by his mouth, lifting her hips up, urging him on.

She wanted more, more, more – but at the same time, she couldn’t stifle her disappointed groan as his fingers left her again entirely too soon, leaving her feeling empty – but almost right away she felt the head of his erection nudging at her slick folds, hot as wildfire.

Tahnee bit her lip, her fingernails digging into the thick, solid muscle of Robb’s shoulders as he slowly sheathed himself inside her, as if he was taking the time to appreciate and savor every inch of sensation.

The pounding of her own blood in her ears was almost deafening as she squeezed his hips between her thighs. As much as she wanted him, she definitely could appreciate the slow, aching sensation of being filled.

It was perfect. They were perfect. She’d never felt anything like this connection to another person before – and she knew it was the mate bond, pulling them together, bridging whatever remaining distance there was between them.

Like we were made for each other, Tahnee thought dizzily – but of course, that was true.

In every sense of the word.

She gasped, burying her face in the crook of his neck as at first he just rested inside her, hard and huge. He was trembling beneath her hands as she clutched at his shoulders – and as good as this was, she knew if he didn’t move soon, she may very well lose her mind completely.

Not thinking, she squeezed herself around him, urging him onward, wanting to feel him, and Robb let out a low cry, his hips bucking, and sending pleasure shooting along every vein, every nerve in her body.

Spiraling ecstasy burst through her as he thrust into her – dark and bright at the same time, like a wave of water and a roar of flame.

How could she have lived so long without this, she thought suddenly as he moved against her – she could hear herself crying out, their voices mingling in shared pleasure. The sound tugged at her soul even as her body felt consumed with pleasure. His lips dropped back to her breasts, taking one of her nipples in his mouth and flickering his tongue over her heated, sensitized skin.

It was all almost too much – every inch of her felt like it was on the verge of catching fire, as if at any moment she might go up in flames.

And she didn’t care.

It could consume them both, and right now, she hoped it did. All the wasted years when they could have had this seemed to drop away and she cried out, her muscles clenching, toes curling, her fingernails digging into his shoulders so hard she knew it must be causing pain as she came.
