My embarrassment fled under the onslaught of sensation as Nox stroked his tongue through my folds, teasing and tasting until I thought I, too, might go mad.
“Nox!” I cried out, fisting the sheets under me. “Damn you!”
His laughter vibrated against sensitive flesh and I gasped, back arching off the bed. “I have to make sure you're ready. Trust me to take care of you.”
My heart thumped. Emotions threatened to overtake my composure.
Nox slid one finger and then another into my body, crooking them to stroke some hidden place inside me that shattered my world into starbursts of pleasure.
When he finally rose over me, I was boneless and breathless, heart pounding wildly in my chest. Nox nuzzled my throat, the evidence of his desire hot and heavy against my hip.
“No resting yet,” he purred, nipping at my earlobe. “We've only just begun.”
A fierce possessiveness ignited inside me, matching Nox's own. I fisted my hands in his hair, and yanked his face to mine, pouring my emotions into the kiss.
That low bass rumbling came back to his chest. “Spread your legs wide for me,” he rasped.
I obeyed, both anxious and excited for what came next.
“Now guide me.”
Reaching down, I grabbed his swollen shaft, stroking it once. His hand covered mine, helping me align it to my opening. The tip breached then slid back. He continued teasing me for several more shallow thrusts.
It wasn't enough. I felt empty. Wanting. Crazed. The wild growled with displeasure.
I could hear his heart racing, his breaths coming in ragged pants as he held himself back.
“I won't break, Nox.”
“Aeryn—"
“Do it. Claim me as yours.”
His umbral surfaced behind his eyes. A heartbeat passed between us and he slammed deep, stretching me open as he howled in sweet agony.
The walls of my sex clenched around his length, a delicious contrast to the bite of pain.
I was full. Completely filled by this male, by my mate. The feeling was almost too much to bear. He was buried inside me to the hilt, his body trembling above mine.
Nox let his weight come down, securing me to the mattress as he rocked above me. The pain quickly turned into pleasure. I dug my nails into his back, wanting more, wanting it all.
Nox moved my arms to either side of my head, joining our hands, squeezing my fingers between his. His hips reangled, drawing back slowly, then surged forward, making me gasp with pleasure.
Again. And again. And again.
The rhythm became faster, harder, until I was wound so tight tears fell from my eyes. Nox licked them away, murmuring reverently to me as he did.
He told me how good I felt. How beautiful I was. How much he wanted to keep me forever.
My entire world was the heat of our bodies, the sounds of our labored breathing, the feel of him moving inside me as he spoke in the way lovers did.
I lifted my legs, linking my ankles behind him, taking him deeper. His pubic bone pressed into my clit. I shivered at the delicious friction.
My mouth fell open in a silent cry as my body seized, contracting in a climax so strong my vision went dark. The wild demanded I bite him. Blindly, I sank my teeth into his flesh.
Nox roared, clutching me to him, joining me in the torrent of pleasure, our bodies slick with sweat as my sex milked his cock of its seed. His canines punctured where my neck met shoulder.
An electric current shot through my body and something locked into place. I felt settled. Complete. The wild curled up in contentment.
