Then I fasten onto her clit.

“Oh, that feels good,” she breathes. “So good.”

I lick and lick her little bud. Before long, she’s getting close. She reaches down and tugs on my hair. I fucking love it. My girl’s turned into a fierce, wild, sex goddess.

She trembles like a volcano threatening to blow—

When she finally erupts, it’s the sweetest thing I’ve heard in my life. Gasping, panting, sighing, while her honey flows over my tongue.

“Don’t stop,” she whispers, and I keep going until, finally, the tremors ebb away, and she collapses exhausted on the comforter.

When I lift my head, I see she’s laid her elbow across her eyes.

“So that’s what a climax feels like,” she says.

I grin. She’s never even touched herself before. I’m so glad I was the first one to give her an orgasm.

“I hope it was a good one.”

“Oh it was the best, trust me.” She giggles.

I draw back and take her in. What a sight. Reclining against the pillows, her beautiful body all spread out from me… and her gaze fixated on my cock.

She bites her lip. “Is it… Will it hurt?” she asks in a small voice.

“Maybe for a second,” I say. “But then it’ll start to feel real good.” God knows I don’t want to hurt her. “We’re going to go real slow,” I tell her. “Make sure it feels real good for you.”

“I’m sorry,” she says. “I probably sound ridiculous. It’s just that I’ve never—”

“Me neither.”

Her eyes get huge. “You… You’ve never had sex before? Are you kidding me?”

I laugh. “As soon as I laid eyes on you that day, four years ago, I was a goner. I’ve never had eyes for another woman.”

She gives me a small, incredulous smile. “Are you serious?”

I nod.

“What if you never saw me again?”

I shrug. “Wouldn’t matter. You’re my mate. My bear made its claim on you. I knew that day, if I hadn’t found you again, I would’ve just lived the rest of my life alone and celibate.”

“Oh, Jaxton, that’s beautiful,” she says. And then she cries out a louder,Oh!

Because all this time, I’ve been making my way up the bed, sliding in between her thighs, and now the tip of my cock is pressing against her tiny pussy. I ease out, then slide in a little bit. She cries out again and grabs my shoulders.

“Too much?” I ask.

“No.” Her beautiful eyes grow fierce. “Just take me, Jaxton. Just fuck me like you want to. Mate me. Make me yours. I don’t want you to hold back. I want you to be the big fierce shifter you are.”

My animal surges beneath my skin. It’s rough, feral, and it wants nothing more than to claim her savagely. But I’m not a beast anymore. I’ve worked hard to become a man who deserves her, and the human in me fights back.

I go slow, sliding into her, inch by inch, letting her get used to my girth.

She pants and gasps. She’s so small, so tight, but finally, my cock tears through her virginity and fills her all the way up.

She gives a wild cry. “You’re inside me,” she gasps.
