The corner of his mouth turns upward slightly. “It’s a lot. I’m still trying to absorb everything.” His voice is deep yet smooth.

My bottom lip catches between my teeth. “I know.” My head shakes, and a mixture of anger and sadness forms inside. In what world did I deserve this man before me? “If not for those last experiments, maybe this could have been avoided. My beast wouldn’t have forced this upon you. You could live your life differently. Maybe with someone normal.”

Knox sits up, his body tensing, and shakes his head. He pulls me closer, and I straddle his lap, sitting chest to chest. His hand grips my neck and places my forehead against his. His eyes seem to have a fire in them as they look into mine. “Listen to me, mate.You were always supposed to be mine. Even if you didn’t have a creature inside, maybe she would have emerged after I bit and claimed you as mine.” I lick my lip at the mention of him biting me. He lets a deep rumble of a laugh out. “You like that, don’t you? Being mine?”

“Yes,” I say, almost breathless, as I feel him harden from underneath me. The feel of him makes me nearly moan, with the promise of pleasure on the horizon.

“Some people search their whole life and never find their mate. Never downplay what we are to each other. It’s special, just like you are. You survived when others would have given up. That even your death awoke something I thought was only a myth.”

He pulls my mouth to him, and I sink into the kiss, causing me to let out a moan. My moan allows his tongue to have access to my mouth, and he doesn’t disappoint as he owns the kiss. It might consume me, and I would gladly allow him to. He slides his hands down my back before cupping my ass. Adjusting me so he can run my pussy along his hardening length. His eyes become brighter as his beast sits close to the surface. “You’re mine. I’m yours. That’s all I need to know for my world to make sense.”

He kisses my neck before sucking where my neck meets my shoulders. “Right here.” His teeth tease me as he gently runs them over that spot. “This is where my mark will be. I want everyone to know you’re mine when they see you. There will be no questioning that you are mated and mine.” His palm smacks my ass, causing me to arch up against him. “My animal and I need to hear you say it. Acknowledge us to the universe as yours in both forms. Fae and beast, we are yours.”

I moan as he says the words that practically short-circuit my system. I am so wet right now that I should be embarrassed. However, all I feel is pride as my beast moves forward. My teethache as they sharpen. I kiss the left side of his neck, wanting my mark to be seen. Our mark needs to be out for everyone to see as well. Every part of me wants to possess him. “Yes, mate. You’re ours, and we belong to you.”

“Do you want me, mate? Tell me what you want.” He sounds like he is on the edge of losing control, which is precisely how I am feeling. I want that control that he holds onto to snap. My hands grip his shoulders, fingernails gripping into his flesh as I bite onto my bottom lip.

My hips rock against him once more. “I want every part of you. Can you feel how wet I am for you?” I move my hips backward, wanting to see me glisten on his cock. He is so hard under me, and I need to see his cock before I sink into it. Once the idea forms, it’s all I can think about. “I want your cock inside of me.” Moving back, I grasp his cock in my hand, causing him to suck in a breath. My hand runs down before back up his shaft and circles the head of his cock. I scoot back off of his lap before bending forward, sticking my ass up in the air as I lick the pre-cum off the top. A moan escapes as I move down his shaft, taking him as far as I can. There is still more to go, but I have to work up to it. Until then, I add my fist to stroke as I continue to suck him into my mouth. His cock is worth worshiping as I work him, and his hands in my hair give me all the courage to continue.

He releases a deep growl as I hit the back of my throat. “This isn’t where I want to cum. Not when I still want to know what you want, mate.”

When I pull back, I look up at him. His eyes are hooded. I love that I am the object of his desires. It’s making me feel powerful with how turned on he is by watching me worship his cock. “What do I want? I want to fuck you, bite you, claim you so the world knows you’re mine. Before biting you and drinking down your blood, that seems to sing to me like a siren’s call. Does that sound okay to you?” My eyebrow arches in almost a dare.

His hand spanks my ass before they grip me, flipping me onto my back. Knox’s powerful hands grip my legs, pulling them right where he wants them. He kisses one ankle and the other as he pulls them onto his shoulders. Knox’s eyes darken as he smirks down at me spread before him. His lips leave a trail of kisses down my thighs. He looks up into my eyes. They watch me as he lowers his mouth to my center. His tongue runs up my slit and circles my clit before pulling back and blowing cool air across my clit. “I want every piece of you that you offer me.” His eyes harden on me, and his jaw tightens. “Others will join, but I have doubts they will feel what I feel for you. I will show you everything about me is yours. My blood and body are both yours.” He bends back down before his mouth descends on me, using his tongue to fuck me. “Mmmm, Let’s get this pussy nice and wet for me to slide inside.” His voice is deep, and I can feel his words vibrate off as he fucks me with two of his fingers, curling them inside of me and hitting the spot that has my breath hitching. Running his tongue up and latching on to my clit, my thighs’ grip his head, and my fingers grasp him by his dark locks.

I feel as if I am short-circuiting from everything. My hips thrust further into his fingers, with his mouth along with his tongue, sucking and licking my clit. I come undone under his mouth, and my orgasm crashes down, having me almost speaking in tongues. He doesn’t stop until my pussy stops contracting against his fingers. Knox removes his fingers and brings them to his mouth, licking off my release. His hands reach under my back, supporting me as he drags me to the end of the bed. My legs are still over his shoulders as he runs the head of his cock up and down. He pushes the head inside, and he groans. “I want to watch as I feed this greedy pussy my cock, inch by inch. Because fuck, you feel good.” He bites his bottom lip as he pushes his length deeper inside. He pulls part of the way back before pushing back in. “This is the hottest thing I think I’ve everseen. You take my cock so well.” His tongue reaches out and licks his lips. The man is a Hellhound, and his cock stretches me in the best way. “Damn.” His eyes look up at me with a slight alarm. “Being with your mate earns your dick a new accessory.”

“Did I put a ring on it or something?” Yeah, I am being a smartass, but how can he even think right now? My brain only wants him to fuck me, yet he continues to tease me a little at a time. I thrust my hips, trying to get more to slide in. He swats my ass.

“You will be a good girl and take what I give you. Trust me, it’s for your own good.” He is almost completely in when I feel something. The left side of his mouth quirks up along with his eyebrow. “You feel that baby?” I can only nod as something seems to almost grind against my clit. He isn’t entirely in as he pulls back and moves faster as he fucks me. “You want me to knot you, baby?”

“Yes, but first, fuck me,” I demand it because I want him so badly. There is an orgasm on the horizon, and I need it.

He swats my ass but continues to do as I ask of him. His cock curves perfectly, hitting the spot inside while tweaking my clit between his fingers. “You going to bite me when I knot you? Claiming me as yours?”

His words tease me and turn me on more than I already am. My teeth sharpen with the need to do exactly what he asks. The need to bite him is driving me insane, along with the promise of orgasms. His abs flex with his thrusts, and the knot at the end of his cock hits the spot that has me scrambling as it tries to sink inside. “Yes! Bite me.” I know he wants me to bite him, but I can’t even think.

“When I move, wrap your arms around me.” I nod to him, willing to do whatever he asks. He bends forward as he pulls me against his hips, his knot inflating more, locking us in place. I am acting out of instinct as my arms wrap around his neck, pullingmy chest to rest against his chest with him as he thrusts inside. I come hard as I have never felt so full. Remembering my promise, I bite him. When I do, it feels like my orgasm intensifies. His blood sends me into overdrive. He spins, sitting down on the bed, holding me tight as I feel him empty himself inside of me.

As my teeth withdraw, he bites down on my neck, claiming me like he said he would. It feels like an invisible cord is linking us together.Holy fuck. I hear his voice enter my mind, and my eyes widen.

He smiles at me knowingly. “Pretty cool. Mates are rare, but I am excited that it works. However, you have to project something for the other person.”

“It’s so crazy. Until a few months ago, I never thought I would need to know anything about shifters.” I lean up and kiss him before pulling away and laughing.

“I know so much about shifters, especially rare ones. Let me teach you about being a shifter and how good we can be together.”

“You knew I was a Midnight Beast. Do you have information about my beast?”

“I know some. I love information and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of others. Been collecting information about you before I met you.”

I roll my eyes at him and groan. “Don’t believe everything they say about me.”

He grabs me by my chin and looks at me. “You are my mate. Even if everything they say about you is true, it doesn’t matter. Let them talk. You and I are against the world if we need it to be. Fuck them, they don’t matter.” He wraps his arms around my back, pulling me closer to him. I feel tiny in his arms and love the fact that I am currently straddling him as we are locked together.

“Are you trying to sweet talk me into getting me into bed? I say your chances are pretty good.” I laugh as he slightly lifts my hipsand shoves me back down. However, my laughter stops when I feel the room go slightly cold before a stumble of movement. I don’t have time to react other than grip Knox tighter to me.

“What the fuck? I am sorry.” Constantine appears and covers his eyes. “Your shadows reached out, and I’ve been on high alert. For fuck’s sake, put some clothes on.” He turns around, not to look our way.
