I can feel him lapping at the escaping juices as he finally releases my legs. The look in his eyes is crazed and starving. He lifts me into his arms, and I dimly realize that he got rid of his towel at some point.

His cock is standing up, hard, its head thick and bulbous.

I want to touch it, and when I barely manage to wrap my hand around it, Alex snarls.

“No. Not tonight.” He removes my hand. “Next time, you can wrap your pretty little lips around my cock and suck it. Tonight, I just want you.”

Alex picks me up as if I weigh next to nothing and lowers me down on his dick. I’m still coming off the high from my previous orgasms and not quite registering what he’s doing. When the tip pushes its way inside me, I dig my nails in his shoulders, drawing blood. “A-Alex!”

It doesn’t hurt, but it’s both uncomfortable and foreign. And there’s this other feeling, this pulsating sensation that feels oddly pleasant.

“You’re too—” I can’t get the words out, not to his face.

“Big?” he asks with a grin, thoroughly enjoying my moment of bashfulness.

“Fat!” I exclaim heatedly before letting out a quiet groan when he moves slightly.

“That’s hardly an insult.” My mate smirks at me before pushing me down on his cock. I can feel it inside me, thick and long, and a garbled sound leaves me. It’s too much. It’s wonderful.

He pulls out slightly before murmuring, “It’s your turn.”

“M-My—?”

I give him a half dazed look, a little drunk on the pleasure.

“Move,” he orders.

I can obey orders. Right now, I’ll do anything he tells me to.

Pushing myself onto my knees, I lift myself up before slowly lowering myself back onto his rod. It’s a whole other, different sensation when I’m the one in control. My lips part in a breathy moan as I feel him fill me up, inch by inch.

Alex’s hands tighten on my hips, and when I see the tense expression on his face, I feel a hint of satisfaction. To see him lose that control of his is a different sort of pleasure. The buildup is slow this time, but my inner muscles have become so sensitive that I almost want to cry out with each slow thrust.

Alex doesn’t have the patience, however. His hands squeeze my waist, and he begins moving me up and down on him, pistoning inside me at a speed that robs me of my ability to think. Helpless sounds are torn from me as he maneuvers my body on top of his shaft at the speed he prefers. I can smell his blood in the air from where my nails are scoring his skin.

I hear Alex groan, and the next time he thrusts inside me, I shatter in his arms. I can feel his release fill me, and that triggers another orgasm and a scream from me.

My body tingles with the aftershocks. He lowers me down and pulls out of me, and then he inserts two fingers inside me before offering them to me. His eyes are dark with a hunger that looks insatiable, and I open my mouth, accepting his offering.

As soon as I do so, he lets out a growl before pinning me down on the bed and ravaging my mouth. I can feel his hardness press against me once again, and my body responds in kind. Excitement fills me.

I hook one ankle around his waist, already knowing I have a long night ahead of me.

***

When I wake up, it’s to complete darkness.

My entire body is throbbing. I am not entirely sure where I am. The arm wrapped around my torso jogs my memory. I turn my head to the side and see Alex’s face buried in my hair. He has one leg tossed over my hips and is practically hugging me in his sleep.

I smile softly, tracing the angle of his cheek and his sharp jawline with my finger.

I hadn’t really planned on sleeping with him or initiating anything. I just wanted us to get past the strange uncertainty I could sense between us. I hadn’t been feeling secure in our relationship even though we are fated mates and even though he brought me all the way here to his pack. I just needed assurance from him. I hadn’t realized this was the kind of assurance I needed.

He wants me.

I could feel it in his every touch, in his every kiss, in the frenzied desperation of his movements.

Some of my confidence that had been waning has returned.
