Instead of responding, I arched against him, and his tip slid inside me. He hissed, his body shuddering, then he drove in a little deeper before pausing again. His eyes widened. “You’re a virgin.”

I nodded. Wolves usually had a high sex drive, but with how terribly my pack treated me, I’d never met anyone I wanted to sleep with. “I am. I’m sorry if that—”

“No, I’m relieved.” He beamed. “I am, too. I’ve been waiting for you my entire life.”

My heart melted even more, which shouldn’t have been possible.

He bent down and kissed me. Every few seconds, he slid deeper and paused, allowing my body to adjust to him. But there was no pause in his kisses and sweet touches.

Once he’d filled me completely, I was certain I’d burst. I’d never felt so full before, both physically and emotionally.

“Are you okay?” he gritted out. “I’m trying not to hurt you, but damn, it’s so hard to go slow with how good you feel.”

“I’m better than okay.” I moved against him, showing him I was completely fine.

He moaned, a sound so deep and sexy that I wanted to hear it forever. He moved in solid, slow thrusts at first, and soon, my slight discomfort was replaced by pure pleasure.

My fingers dug into his back as I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him deeper. He thrust faster as my mouth captured his. I wanted to taste, touch, and feel him. I wanted to be surrounded by him.

The pleasure built higher, and he tore his mouth from mine, kissing my neck. His body tensed as he moved even faster, both of us nearing ecstasy.

When his mouth reached the bottom of my neck, he raked his teeth across my skin, asking for permission. I tilted my head, giving him clear access. If he didn’t bite me soon, I’d make him do it. Something wild surged through my blood, desperate for him to claim me.

Finally, he bit me, and every muscle in my body tensed for release. Something warm and animalistic surged through me, and pleasure that didn’t come from my own body poured inside.

I neededmore. This wasn’t enough, so I rolled us over and pushed him onto his back as I climbed on top of him.

His eyes glowed brightly as he slid deeper inside me. I leaned down, not asking for permission. There was no stopping this moment, and when his wolf surged inside him, I felt its desperate need for me to claim him, too.

I rode him as I bit into his neck. Just as I’d felt something pour into me, something poured out of my body into his. An orgasm rocked through us both, our pleasure melding together.

If I’d been worried about his feelings for me, I wasn’t any longer. He loved me the same way I loved him. The intensity of his emotions blanketed me as the quivering of my body shattered me.

I love you so damn much.

My pulse surged. I’d heard that in my mind. Were we…?

He kissed me, and the taste of our blood combined and lingered in our mouths, adding to the bond and befuddling my mind. We’d intermingled everything we possibly could—our souls, wolves, love, bodies, and blood.

As our pleasure continued to peak, I didn’t break my rhythm, wanting to keep the pleasure rolling between us for as long as possible.I love you, too.Had he heard me?

All too soon, the pleasure eased, and I lay across his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me close despite our sweaty bodies.

We can mate link.He kissed the top of my head.

I nuzzled into his chest, listening to our hearts beating together. I replied,We sure can.I didn’t know what I’d expected, but this wasn’t shocking. At least with Bodey, linking felt like the most natural thing in the world, similar to breathing.

Something deep inside my chest that I’d never noticed before shifted. A coldness I hadn’t realized was there, maybe because I’d gotten used to it? Then heat sparked, and I threw myself off the bed and landed in a heap on the floor.

Bodey jumped up, his eyes wide. “Callie, what’s wrong?”

I couldn’t answer. Heat swirled around the coldness as if to melt it. Then the spark turned into flames, and the cold dissolved.

A loud howl filled my head as something exploded through my body.

CHAPTERTWENTY-SEVEN

I curledinto the fetal position, something pulsing through my blood as more warm pockets sprouted throughout my chest. The sensation wasn’t awful, but cold tendrils of fear wrapped around my heart.
