I fit myself between her long, tanned legs. My hand roughly wraps around her thigh, hiking her leg up. I slide my length through her folds, coating my shaft in her wetness. When the head of my dick glides across her clit, she moans softly in her throat.
Shifting lower, I align myself at her entrance, but don’t thrust inside yet. Breaking our kiss, I pull back just enough that I’m able to look at her. Nothing but trust and love sit in her eyes as she stares up at me. She brings her hand up to lightly trace her fingertips along my face. First, she makes a circle around my orbital bone before running the pad of her finger across my bottom lip.
“Tell me you want this,” I plead. “Tell me now to stop if you have any doubts, Remington, because once I’m inside you, there’s no turning back. I’m making you mine. This is forever.”
Her heart thuds wildly in her chest as she says, “I want this, Jax. I want you forever,” Remi vows. “I don’t know how long our forever is because our future is so unsure, but I want to spend every second of it as your mate. Every obstacle that is coming our way, I want to face it together as mates. So shut up and make me yours.Officially.”
“Why would anyone want to tie themselves to me?” I can’t help but wonder aloud.
Remi smiles up at me. The darkness that’s occupied her features for the past six months is gone. Not even the shadows that surround her can dull the light that’s coming off her in waves right now. “Because my beautiful broken boy, you are perfectly imperfect. In each one of the flaws you see in yourself, I only see strengths. You’re reckless and impulsive, but I will still follow you anywhere because I know I’ll be safe as long as you’re there. You’re unhinged and your wolf side is uncontrollable, but you are so strong. The strongest person I’ve ever met. You’re distrusting, but once you let them in, you’ll protect them with your life even when they swear up and down that they don’t want your help.” She laughs quietly at the self-deprecating comment. “Why wouldn’t I want a man like that as my mate?”
I turn my head and kiss the inside of the wrist of the hand that still rests on my face. Her words wash over me, solidifying my decision. Not that it’s really a choice at this point. I don’t think I’ll survive if we stopped, and she walked away from me now. I’d let her, but it would hurt like a motherfucker to do it.
“That’s all I needed to know.”
Holding her eyes and gripping her hip, I thrust inside of her. Immediately I feel like I’ve found euphoria. She arches off the ground, head back, exposing that beautiful, unmarked column of her neck. Her pulse is so fast, I can see the flutter in her jugular as she tries to find the ability to breathe again.
My body shakes as I fight for control, I want this to be a tender moment we look back on but the animal inside of me is urging me to take her hard and fast. The overwhelming, almost primal need to do just that is really difficult to fight.
I thrust again, slowly building up my pace as her body adjusts to me. She can take every inch of me. Her pussy was built to be filled with my cock after all. With each thrust, I sink deeper inside her slick heat, and I become closer to snapping—to allowing the animalistic side of me to take charge. Each time I pull back leaving just my tip buried in her, she makes a shuddering, gasping noise when I thrust back inside.
“Oh fuck… Jax!” she cries when I slam into her harder than I mean to. Fear grips my chest that I hurt her, but when the walls of her pussy tighten around me and her hips tilt up to meet my next move, I realize I was mistaken. “Again,” Remi pleads. “I want it just like that.”
And with that, the restraint I was holding on to by a thin thread, snaps. My wolf surges forward, but for the first time since I can remember I don’t instantly try to shove him back down. I allow his need to mix with mine as we take the beautiful woman below us.
With deep, almost punishing thrusts, I fuck her into the grass below us. She takes everything I give her with enthusiasm.
Collaring her throat with my hand, I apply pressure to the sides of her jugular. Her blue eyes blaze up at me with excitement and desire. “You like having my cock inside your pussy, don’t you?” Her response is a jerky head nod and a long, agonizing moan. “Good, because it’s going to be there a lot. I’m going to be reminding you every chance I get who this pussy belongs to.” I pull almost all the way out before thrusting deep back inside.
Keeping my pace, I dip my head to take one of her pert nipples in my mouth. I swirl my tongue around the peak before clamping my teeth around it until the pleasure is borderline pain. She holds my head and arches into my touch, telling me she likes a bite of pain.
I lick up her chest, dipping my tongue in the divot where her collarbone is. The closer I get to the juncture of her neck, the more my gums burn as my fangs threaten to descend. This time instead of fighting it, I allow it.
Remington turns her head and when she spots my elongated fangs, the walls of her pussy quiver in anticipation. Silently, she tilts her head to the side, giving me access without having to ask for it.
I swipe my tongue over the spot that will bear my mark. Everyone who looks at her neck will know that she’s mated and unavailable. They’ll know she’s mine.
“Do it. Bite me,” Remi whispers. “I love you and I’m yours.”
I love you.It’s been sixteen years since someone has told me that and I hadn’t realized how much I missed hearing it.
With one more deep stroke inside of her, I sink my teeth into her perfect skin as deep as I can to ensure that even when the mark is healed, the scar will remain. Shifters don’t typically get scars from wounds, but that rule goes out the window with mating marks.
Remington’s body seizes up as the pain of the bite slices through her, but as quick as the pain comes, it disperses and is replaced with pleasure. The sensation is so powerful, it sends her over the edge, and she comes violently with my fangs embedded in her.
When her body stops shaking, I pull my teeth from her so I can swipe my tongue over the wound. Seeing my mark on her body fills my soul up with a sense of belonging. Never in my life have I had a home or known where I belong. Remington Weylyn is my home. Wherever she is, that’s where I’m supposed to be. I’d follow her to the edge of the world if that’s where she wanted to go.
With one last look at my mark, I roll us and transition into a sitting position. My cock is still buried deep inside of Remi, and she continues to ride me. At this new angle, she’s in control and she sets the pace. “Come on, love,” I encourage her. “Your turn. Bite me hard and make me bleed.”
Her arms snake around my head, turning it to the position she wants before her warm mouth covers the spot she’s picked in an open-mouthed kiss. She sucks lightly on it before her fangs plunge into me. Pain followed by the most amazing euphoria I’ve ever felt sends me over. I come powerfully inside of her with a shouted curse.
I haven’t come down from the high before it happens. It’s as if the world explodes around us. The trees bend and bow as the wind blows violently through them. Like a dam giving way, there’s a rush of power that washes over us. Every single one of my nerves feels like it’s been electrocuted, and by the way Remi tenses in my arms, I know she feels the same thing. As if all the power surrounding us rushes into our bodies, there’s a lightning storm inside of us before the entire world falls silent and the only thing that can be heard is the drizzle of rain hitting the tree leaves and our labored breathing.
Remington pulls her head away from my neck and smiles at me, blood still coats her lips. “We’re going to burn the world down together.”
“Like an uncontrollable wildfire,” I confirm, wiping the blood from her mouth with my thumb before leaning forward to capture her lips with mine. “I love you more than you’ll ever know, Remington Weylyn, and I’m going to prove to you every day that I’m worthy of your love.”
When you can use hellfire to travel to places within seconds, traveling by airplane is a tedious and confining event, but when it’s the only way your new mate can get back home, you grit your teeth and climb aboard the luxury jet with her. Even if by the twenty-minute mark you’re so antsy and jumpy you’re about to call upon your power and dip the fuck out.
