The sex was amazing. Although I have nothing to compare it to, I don’t think it could have been any better. My mouth waters as my lungs are filled with the scent of hot chocolate being sipped in front of the fireplace.

Maybe if I don’t move, I can lie here and inhale him for a little longer. Or maybe if I wake up, we can have sex again. There are so many things I want to try. I wonder if he tastes as good as he smells.

My mind goes to Bradan waking me at some point last night to ride him like the stallion he is. At first, I wonder if it was just a dream. However, as I take inventory of my body, I note the soreness of my ass where he repeatedly slapped it as I got into the ride like my life depended on it while I dripped down all over him.

Yup, that definitely happened. Boy, did that happen.

“Your thoughts are more amusing than I thought they would be,” Bradan rumbles and chuckles deeply beneath me.

Lifting my head, I look up at him. He looks just as perfect as he always does. I bite my lip as I blink the sleep away.

Then his words sink in. I frown and think them over. Can he really hear my thoughts?

“Yes, I can hear and see them. They have begun to become clearer to me.”

“How?” I gasp.

“The bond. We are one now.”

“Why can’t I hear yours?”

“I’m keeping my thoughts to myself for now,” he says with a mischievous grin.

“That’s not fair. What do you have to hide?”

He shrugs. “You can shut me out as well.”

Gods, she’s perfect and so adorable. I can’t wait to show her my kinks. If she thought last night was amazing, I’m going to blow her fucking mind when I unleash on her.

“Oh my God, you just let me in. That’s what you’re thinking?”

Yes, I want to take you, but I think it might be too soon for a half human.

“I’m feeling fine. I think I can handle more,” I reply to the words in his thoughts.

He rumbles with more laughter. “I will give you a break just in case. I’ve just found you, little one. I don’t want to hurt you. You feel me?”

His words remind me that he’s a biker and we’re in his clubhouse. I’ve read so many biker romances and love the culture. I love the way you feel me rolls off his lips.

“How do I keep you out?” I say, changing the subject as I feel my thoughts about to turn dirty.

“Search for the door within and pull it shut. You can let me in and out as you please. It’s my hope that someday we will leave the door open for each other,” he says.

“Are you keeping me out because of her?” I murmur, dropping my gaze to his chest.

He reaches to lift my chin until our eyes lock. “I’m keeping you out so I don’t frighten you away. Last night is as vanilla as I get, baby girl.”

“Oh, okay.”

He leans in and takes my lips in a passionate kiss. I place my hand on his face and get lost in the all-consuming lip lock. He falls back against the bed, pulling me along with him.

Just when I think things are going to heat up and he’ll forget about taking a break, my stomach growls loudly. I’m so embarrassed I pull away and cover my face.

Rolling onto my back, I try to remember the last thing I ate. I burned that food from the diner off hours ago. Feeling the bed shift beside me, I peek through my hands.

With a dark, delicious chuckle, Bradan pries my hands from my face. His smile lights up his entire face as he looks down at me. I’m in awe as I look back at him.

“Come, let me feed you. We will find my brothers so you can meet them. They will be happy to know I’ve found my mate.”
