She whimpers and squirms, her hand clenching my shirt. “Don’t stop.”
“Only if you think about letting me give you one here,” I tell her, nipping the untouched skin on the other side of her neck. “I really want to see you wearing my bite, darlin’.”
She goes still, but then her hand cups my cheek, turning me to face her. “You can’t just say things like that, Kobi.”
“Even if I mean them?”
“Well, no, but… do you? I mean, this is our first date.”
“And I’ve fed you my knot, and licked you until you’ve come on my face.”
Her lashes flutter, and I can feel her pulse thrumming in her throat. “Yes, but the real me isn’t like that…”
“The real you is exactly what I want.” I take her hand and slide it over my chest. “I haven’t felt like this in a long while, but I know my heart, Cass. I know what I want.”
She bites her lip, something like hope blooming in her eyes. “Really? But what about your brothers? Your band…”
“My brothers have their own lives. And Grace Lands is something we did because it was the family business. I loved it, but it doesn’t mean that’s all I am.”
“I know.” She clearly has a soft spot for the band, but her eyes shine with sincerity when she says, “Anything you do would be amazing, Kobi.”
Which just makes my chest puff, and my brain whirr with ideas. If Cass really is my number one fan, then whatever I do next, it better be the bomb. “I want this, Cass. I want you in my life. Everything else is just logistics.”
“I want you too, Kobi. And not just the guy on my wall.”
I smile down at her flushed face, but I can see something is bugging her. “Second thoughts?”
“No way.” Her headshake is encouraging, but she’s still biting that damn bottom lip. “But what if I don’t switch again? I mean, I want your knot either way, but wouldn’t it feel better for you if I was an omega?”
That’s what she’s worrying about? Jesus, this girl blows my mind. I cup her face, so there’s no mistaking the look in my eyes. “Darlin’, you always feel right for me. And I don’t care if you never switch again. I like you exactly how you are, Cass. And I don’t want to waste one more minute before I claim you as my mate.”
“Here?” she asks, looking around, disbelieving. “Now?”
“Unless you want to think about it, here’s perfect for me.” I point at the wide, sparkling sky. “Under the stars, our own kind of nest. But if you want to go to a hotel, or wait until we’re with the other guys…”
“No waiting,” she murmurs, and grabs my beard, pulling me in for a kiss. We neck until her face is pink with beard rash and my cock is leaking in my pants. Cass takes care of that by stripping me out of them, her mouth cleaning me up as soon as she gets me free. “You taste so good, alpha,” she tells me as she crawls up my body and feeds me her tongue. “I want to ride your knot. Feel you as deep as you can go when you claim me.”
Not going to be easy without her slick, but I’m hardly going to deny her. “Then let me make you wet, baby. I want you dripping when you take me.”
We roll so she’s under me, and I hike up that pretty skirt, groaning into her warmth. She tastes like vanilla and the musk of her mates. My head spins and I lose myself for a bit, rutting against the blankets. I lick and suck until she’s quivering under my tongue. “So perfect, baby. So wet and sweet for me.”
“Now, Kobi,” she hisses, pulling at my shoulder. “Put it in.”
A feral sound ripples from my chest as I grab her hips and sink to the hilt. Just my shaft, but it's enough to make the stars spin in the sky. I slide in and out of her, my heart swelling in my chest with each pleasure-soaked thrust.
My Cass. My mate.
“I won’t last long, darlin’.”
“Then lie back. Let me ride you.”
I gape as she nudges me down, swinging her leg over my hips. My stomach dips, my thighs clenching as Cass rises over me like a sex-flushed angel. She’s still in her pretty dress, the skirt fluttering around my waist as she gets settled. But she peels it back as she rocks, her wet heat clutching me as she stares down at my knot.
“Mine,” she says as she brushes her fingers over it. “And it’s going all the way in, Kobi.”
I groan, watching through hazy eyes as she rolls her hips and starts taking me. She’s wet, but I’m so swollen I’m throbbing. And the fit is so tight, it can only be hurting her. But she just bears down, her eyes holding mine as she works me in. The stretch makes her whimper, her spine flexing in pain, but then I’m in. All the way.
“Baby. So brave. So perfect. What a good girl you are for me.”
