“You just need to recharge?” he asked.

I nodded, hoping he truly understood.

“You’ve always been open and honest with me, Clara. Don’t be afraid to tell me what you need, when you need it, even if that’s just time away from me.”

My heart flared as I took a deep breath of relief. I caught my mate’s scent, strong and overpowering.Mine,my wolf growled in my head.

“Anything I need?” I asked.

“Of course,” he said.

I grinned. “Good, because I know it’s late, but right now what I need more than anything is you inside me. Now.”

I couldn’t believe I’d just said that, but it was out there now and somehow made me feel powerful and less stressed to confess that I needed my mate. Was that really so bad?

Gage’s nose flared, his pupil’s dilated, and his heart rate immediately picked up. “Shit, that was sexy,” he said with a growl.

My head spun he moved quickly, positioning himself between my legs. I didn’t need any foreplay. I was hot and ready for him like a burner had just been lit inside my body.

“Gage, please,” I begged.

“Tell me exactly what you want, Clara,” he demanded.

“I want you,” I said.

“How?” he asked.

I had never been afraid to go after what I wanted. I just had never vocalized those desires. This was different. This was Gage, my mate. Where a part of me felt I should be embarrassed, I wasn’t. His demands turned me on and I knew there was nothing I couldn’t share with him.

“I don’t want to think or worry about anything right now. I just want to feel. Make me feel good, Gage,” I said, swallowing hard. “I want you to take me fast and hard.”

I squealed as he picked me up and flipped me over to my stomach.

“On your knees,” he commanded.

I did as he said without hesitation. He grabbed my hips with both hands and plunged into me with no warning or preparation. I cried out from the shock of the intrusion. He didn’t give my body time to adjust before he started moving towards a steady, fast rhythm.

My body burned and my insides coiled tighter. I pressed back, matching his pace thrust for thrust. My breathing became labored. He grabbed my hair at the base of my neck and pushed my head down.

The change in position was amazing. The sensations shooting through me were indescribable, but it still wasn’t enough.

“I need. I need,” I panted.

“Tell me what you need,” Gage demanded.

“Touch me,” I managed to say.

His hands that had been gripping my hips almost to the point of pain released as he found my breasts.

I was so close, but still not quite there. The knot inside my stomach only grew and my body felt like a bow strung too tightly.

“More,” I cried out, without any idea of what I was even asking for.

One of his hands lowered to the point where our bodies connected.

“Yes, right there,” I encouraged him.

When he touched me there, it felt like I’d just been struck by lightning. My muscles contracted and then at last broke free as I screamed out his name. His motions had become sporadic and he moaned before collapsing on top of me. My body continued to convulse for several more minutes and my eyelids felt heavy.
