I flipped her onto her back against the couch cushions and settled between her legs with a grin. “My ankle isn’t going to be a worry.” In fact, I’d totally forgotten about it the moment she woke. “All you need to worry about is how hard I’m going to fuck your sweet little pussy.”

Her cheeks flushed at my words, but her hips rolled up against mine. “I’d like nothing more.”

My mouth was on hers again, kissing more fervently. I pushed up her sweater as she yanked at my hoodie. We were tangled like a pair of fumbling teenagers. Laughing, I rid myself of my shirt and then removed hers along with her bra to press together hot flesh to flesh.

Nicolette rocked her hips against me, faster and more urgent. “Ezekiel, please.”

I slid a hand down the front of her pants and traced along her slick slit. Toying with her swollen clit, I then thrust two fingers into her. She cried out and clutched at my digits with her inner muscles. I fucked her with my hand as I ran kisses down her neck to her jiggling boobs. I sucked each nipple until it was hard and pushed her toward climax.

She was writhing and groaning, and I ate up every bit of her. Nicolette had no idea how she had ensnared me. I was totally hers. While I wanted to roar that she was mine and completely mine, I would take a part of her and it would make me blissfully happy forever.

“Don’t stop! I’m going to come!” She screamed and shuddered under me. Her beauty as she orgasmed was like seeing the face of a goddess.

I let her ride out her climax before removing my fingers to suck her tasty juices from them. Creamy and almost floral, but so very female in its musk. I was addicted to her.

Without wasting another second, I whisked off her leggings and panties. I wanted to dive down between her legs and eat that divine pussy for days. But I’d promised to fuck her hard, and I was so close to exploding.

I rid myself of my sweatpants and boxers, and barely got them off before she was pulling me back down and wrapping her legs around me. Slick glistened on her groin and thighs. The light caught it to glint like something magical. And hell, she was. She was a dream come true.

Maneuvering my hips, I rammed into her. We cried out together. My cock was already swelling with its knot even as I started moving inside of her. How easily she could work me up.

Her scent, her sounds, the way her body molded so well to mine. I couldn’t stop.

She wanted hard, and I was slamming her into the couch with each thrust.

“Ezekiel!” She screamed my name and dug her nails into my back. The sting of it made me growl and bite her lower lip.

No. Not her lip. I wanted to bite her shoulder. I needed to make her mine.

“Nicolette,” I panted her name and ran my tongue along her neck. “I want… I want to claim you.” I’d beg if she wanted. Anything for her. “I need you to be mine.”

“Yes, oh God!” She kissed me hard and wailed with her climax. “Now! Bite me!”

I sank my teeth into her shoulder, that elegantly curved bone.Mine.

The coppery taste of blood tickled the tip of my tongue, but I didn’t let go as I came with the force of what felt like a cannon blast. My knotted cock let loose load after load of seed to fill her. Nothing had ever felt so much like a dream and more real than this.

She was my universe.

Still shaking from my intense orgasm, I licked her shoulder where I bit it and kissed my way back to her succulent mouth. “You’re mine. I claim you, Nicolette. I’ll never want another.” Nuzzling her, staring into those beautiful emerald eyes, the words came out before I even had a chance to consider them. “I love you.”

Nicolette swept my messy hair back from my face with her gaze locked to mine. Tears glimmered in the corners of her eyes. “I love you too, Ezekiel.”

I kissed her long and tenderly. Our hands roamed each other’s bodies as I buzzed with the new bond. Every little move she made, I could feel as her pussy constricted around my knot. I was tempted to fuck her with it, but I didn’t want to break the sweetness of the moment.

After who knew how long, my phone vibrated with a call. I ignored it, snuggling Nicolette, until she gave me a nudge. “It’s okay. Answer it. We should get up and clean anyway.”

With one more kiss, I sat and reached for my phone. Savva’s name glowed on the screen. He was probably wondering how I was doing. I swiped to accept and smiled at Nicolette. “Hi Sav. How are you?”

She returned my smile as she stood, bending to collect our clothes. I patted her cute butt, and she stuck out her tongue at me as she slipped out of my reach.

“Eze, are you still in the clinic?” No hello or anything, but sometimes Savva could be gruff.

“No, I’m home now, but Kodiak is still there. Nicolette is taking good care of me.” I winked at her, and she snickered behind her hand.

“You need to get to town right now. Silas is causing a fuss. Fuck, maybe it’s Kodiak too. Ginny texted me and said there was a fight brewing.”

Shit. Silas was as explosive as dynamite on the best days. If Kodiak left the clinic to hunt down Silas, it was going to be brutal. I couldn’t let them hurt each other. All this fighting had to stop. “I’ll go right now.”
