I produced a little smile for him, propping up my chin on my palm. If he really wanted to know what I was thinking, he could probe the telepathic connection of our marked bond, but I knew he was just being coy. “Why don’t you come around to this side of the desk and find out?”

Colt wasted no time rounding the desk. He stood above me and craned his neck down to catch me in a long kiss. He slid his hand along my side and down under my thigh, coaxing me to my feet, but only so that he could maneuver me against the desk. Parting my legs, he nestled himself between my thighs and lifted my ass up onto the desk, pressing in as close as he possibly could until I felt him bulging against my groin. It was a regular occurrence that we became distracted by each other’s bodies, especially when left to our own devices in the Manor. But we still hadn’t had sex. All this time, we’d simply been getting to know one another, but today, I wanted him in a way I’d never had him before.

While he lavished my neck in kisses, I pushed a hand under his shirt and used the other to play with his belt buckle, unzipping his jeans and fondling the erection hidden in his boxers. He groaned against my neck and bucked against my hand, asking for more. As I took the length of his cock in my palm, he ensnared my lips and pushed me down onto the desk, knocking everything off of it in the process. Colt’s breathing grew harder and heavier as he thrust into my hand, only to slip his fingers between my plush labia, rubbing me on the outside of my leggings. Excitement spiked through my body as I craved to feel more. “Take off my clothes,” I murmured between kisses.

Colt obediently pulled my leggings off, taking my thong with them. I sat up and pulled off my blouse while he stripped off his jeans and t-shirt; then, he stopped me from removing my bra, electing to do it himself while he planted kisses on the side of my neck. Within seconds, we were both naked and sprawled across his father’s desk, relishing the heat of skin-to-skin contact. At the touch of his head between my lips, I shuddered, already so wet that it would have been easy for him to dive in.

But he didn’t. He knew he had to be careful and respect my boundaries, even though the sensation of him gliding his cock across my clit made me drunk with ecstasy. I finally broke. “I want you inside me.”

The words alone sparked enough gratification in my mate to make him moan. He grabbed my ass and pulled me closer, positioning himself to enter me. “Are you sure?”

“Yes. I need to feel you,” I breathed.

“Are you comfortable?”

“Of course I am.”

“No, I mean…” Colt paused, sliding his hand up the small of my back to support me. “On the desk?”

I laughed. The desk wasn’t all that comfortable, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t want to ruin the moment by running to the nearest bed. “It’s fine, Colt. I want you now.”

“I want you, too.” With my permission to proceed, Colt arched over me, watching the visceral reaction of my body as he pushed inside me. The feeling of his member entering my warmth was dizzying, all of a sudden exerting pressure on my sensitive spots and igniting pleasure through every inch of me. My loins burned with the desire to take in all of him. With cautious thrusts, Colt gradually filled me up and then panted above me, meeting my eyes with a husky intonation. “Your tight pussy is to die for.”

“You almost did die for it,” I laughed, squeezing my legs around his hips and drawing him closer. Colt picked up a steady rhythm, rocking me on the desk slowly and tenderly at first, allowing me to take my time experiencing him. We shared long, passionate kisses, barely pausing to breathe before entwining our tongues again. As the heat rose between us, Colt’s pace picked up until he was pounding hard between my thighs, turning off all sensations except those from our erotically stimulated nerves. I hadn’t expected the satisfaction to be so powerful, but with each thrust, my body felt tighter and hotter, my insides coiling in anticipation of completion. And when it finally struck, the bliss was blinding. My body tensed and then became fluid with warmth from my core to my extremities, tingling and buzzing with delight. My muscles squeezed Colt into orgasm, and he uttered a long, trembling groan as he released inside me.

When it was done, we were both left breathless and sweaty, our bodies glistening. Colt remained poised above me, slowly kissing me and unwilling to detach. Even though I was just lying beneath him, my body felt exhausted, the pleasure having drained all my energy. “That felt amazing,” I told him.

His shoulders shook with a chuckle. “I’ll give you that every day for the rest of your life.”

“Yes, please.”

I ran my fingers through his hair, tipping his head back to meet his eyes again. The hazy grin on his face showed me what Colt could look like without worries or trauma plaguing his heart. This carefree happiness was what I wanted for him for the rest of his life, too.

But his expression faded after a moment, returning to seriousness reminiscent of the past few weeks. “Kiara, if I stay here, chances are I’ll have to become the Alpha. Are you ready for that?”

It was something I had thought about a lot. “I’ll support you no matter what you decide. Are you ready for it?”

“I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready. But Gavin and Everett want me to do it, and I trust that they would…I don’t know, give me pointers, at least.”

“They want to restore the alliances among your packs. Of course they’ll help.”

“Yeah. But if I become Alpha, with you as my mate…you’ll never be able to live your life in secrecy again. Everyone will know you’re part unicorn.”

I’d thought about that a lot, too. “You think my life could be in danger?”

“There’s always going to be danger. I’ll protect you like I promised I would. But are you willing to take that risk?”

I clasped my hand over the back of Colt’s neck, pressing my brow against his. “I’m not just a unicorn, you know. I’m a wolf, too. Anybody who tries to mess with me will get the teeth.”

“That’s right. Sometimes I forget how scary you can be.”

“You need to be reminded.” I clutched his lip between my teeth and gently bit him.

We stretched across the desk, laughing and nibbling on each other before descending into another bout of passionate lovemaking. I never would have guessed that we were meant for each other. Leave it to the Sky Goddess to declare us a match made in heaven.
