I smell her arousal, and even before I’m fully aware and awake, I’m reaching down to cup her ass and pull her in tightly against me. I don’t know if it’s real or a dream, but I don’t care.

The slacks I’m wearing don’t have enough give, and I want to rip them off so that I can give my mate what she needs.

What we both need.

“Declan…” She murmurs my name, and I realize she’s still asleep.

I kiss her cheeks, sliding my hands up the back of her shirt to touch her more freely, without the barriers of clothes between us. “I’m here, mate. Wake up, and I’ll take care of your needs.”

She shifts again, grinding against my cock, making me ache, before her lips find mine. Her eyes are still closed, but I feel like she’s playing possum more than actually asleep. Especially as her tongue slicks over my lower lip, demanding entrance.

I let the kiss stay slow, languid, letting her wake up slowly. My hands slide over her skin, slowly removing her clothes bit by bit, just enjoying the taste, the feel of my mate, of being surrounded by her.

She reaches between us and pops the button on my slacks, then tugs down the zipper before sliding her hand in to touch my length.

Gods, I will never get enough of my mate like this.

She’s wearing tiny pajama shorts, and they’re loose enough that it doesn’t take much to slip them over to one side.

Fucking hells, she’s not wearing panties, and she’s already soaking wet.

Gently, I lift her hips, and she positions my tip at her core, breaking our kiss to look down and watch me slip inside her.

She lets out a soft moan, adjusting slightly as I fill her. She hardly moves, just reveling in our connection, as she unbuttons my shirt and shoves it down over my shoulders. “I have to be the luckiest damn woman in the world.”

Her words fill me with pride, and I grin at her. “You’ll never be as lucky as I am, to have you.” I kiss her again, pulling her chest against mine, needing more contact, more of her touching me. “You’re mine. All fucking mine.”

As she starts to ride me, keeping a slow pace, I slide my hands into the back of her shorts, gripping her ass.

I swallow moan after moan. I want to get drunk on her sounds, on her pleasure. I don’t ever want this connection to end, and even though my cock aches to take her harder, to thrust up into her perfect body and make her scream my name, I let her keep a slow, almost lazy pace, keeping my dick sheathed inside her.

“Declan, I…” She swallows hard, meeting my eyes as she rocks slowly. “I love you. I know you probably know that, but…”

I kiss her nose, before echoing her words back to her. “I love you, my mate. I love everything about you.” Instead of continuing to tell her out loud, I project my feelings to her, showing her with everything I have just how much she means tome, just how intensely she affects me. How much I need her, and how proud I am to get to call her my mate.

Mine.

Chapter

Twenty-Six

BRIANNA

Ididn’t think it was possible to need someone as deeply as I need Declan. Not just in my bed, even though that is definitely a huge perk. It feels like he’s the second half of my heart, the part I didn’t even know I was missing before he came into my life.

Knowing he feels just as strongly, knowing that he sees me as not just a partner, not just a mate, but as everything he’s ever wanted, ever needed, feels like it could shatter me.

I’m hardly moving at all anymore, just holding onto him, feeling him, our connection. Our tether together hums like a strung guitar string between us.

Ellie could be back at any moment, and even though I would be mortified if she saw us like this, his hands down my shorts, completely bare chests pressed together like even the strongest glue wouldn’t hold as tightly as we are right now, I can’t bear the idea of pushing this further, of riding him to climax. Our connection is thrumming like an electrical current in through my body and into his like an infinity ring, and I’m not even sure if all the emotions are mine, or if Declan’s are bleeding in,swaying me to need more and more. It doesn’t even matter, I don’t want it to end.

This is just the beginning of our mating, Brianna. Believe me when I say I will never get tired of feeling you like this, but I want your release soaking my cock. I want to feel you let go, to feel your body tighten around me, to demand my release as well.

There’s no way in hell a human relationship could ever begin to compare with what I have with Declan, and if his claiming me, if us claiming each other intensifies that, I’m not sure we’ll ever manage to leave the bedroom after I wear his bite.

He chuckles and kisses me again, his tongue sliding across mine roughly.I’m sure we can make time to spend at least a month in bed, as soon as we’re free from this cell. I want to feast on you, to make you come so hard, so often, that you’ll forget any idea of ever dating a human again.

I don’t want a human.I break the kiss and pull back to look at him, so that he can see how serious I am. “You’re it for me, Declan. You’re my everything. Mine.” The last word comes out almost as a growl, as I start riding him again, taking him harder and harder.
