“I love your possessiveness.” I kissed him, wanting him to sense the depth of my emotions. “It never upsets me, and I may be human, but my heart and body wantyou. But if you aren’t ready—”
His fingers didn’t relent. Instead, he moved them faster. “I wanted you the first night we kissed. From the moment I saw you, Sky, I haven’t felt any attraction to another woman. I’ve never yearned for anyone else’s touch. I might have struggled with you being human, but I’ve alwayswantedyou. I’ve made sure I didn’t lose control by keeping our clothes on because my wolf has beenbeggingme to claim you.”
As I heard his words, my body tightened. He lowered his mouth to my nipple, his tongue flicking over it, and he drove me over the edge.
I moaned as ecstasy exploded within me. My body quivered, and he slipped two fingers inside me, making the sensations stronger.
My mouth found his, and I kissed him as I came back down to earth. But the deep need and yanking in my chest were even more desperate than before. I didn’t want to pressure him, but I wasn’t sure I could stop the desire coursing through me without fully becoming his.
He sniffed and growled. “You’re ready to go again. Gods, I’ve never smelled you like this before, and it’s driving me wild.”
My face heated, but I nodded. “I’m sorry. I—”
He sat upright, gripped my jeans and panties, tugged them down my legs, and tossed them on the floor. “Tell me when you want to stop. My wolf will respect you. All you have to do is say no. I don’t care what we’re doing.”
“I know.” That was the thing; I trusted him implicitly.
He slid his fingers back inside me, his thumb hitting that spot between my legs as his free hand caressed my breasts. He hovered over me, watching my responses as he worked my body.
Never in a million years would I have thought I’d like this so much, but as we stared into each other’s eyes, ecstasy assaulted my body again, hard and fast, taking me by surprise.
Wanting to see all of him, I sat up and tried to remove his pants, but my hands shook too hard, and the knot of desire tightened within me, despite him already bringing me to release.
He chuckled and removed my hands. “You’re struggling. Let me.” With that, he stripped off his pants and boxers.
Then he stood at the edge of my bed, naked, letting me look my fill, and my chest squeezed. I’d never seen him like this, only touched him through his clothes, but he was more than handsome. I couldn’t come up with a word to describe how attractive I found him. I reached out and stroked him where he stood, and he shuddered.
“Dammit, Sky.” He slid back onto the bed next to me. “I need to touch you too.”
As he lay down next to me, I continued to stroke him. He thrust his hips in time with my hand, and his fingers slipped back inside me. Our mouths collided, but as my orgasm neared again, I whimpered with the urge to feel him inside me. “Raffe, make love to me.”
His body stilled as he gripped my arm. He lifted his head and looked into my eyes. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, but only if you—” I started, but he cut me off with a kiss.
He settled between my legs and cupped my face. “I want you so damn bad, but I need to make sure you’re okay. That you’re certain. If we do this, we’ll need to go slow with you being a virgin.”
“I have no doubts. I want you forever. I promise,” I said, feeling that vow with every ounce of my heart. Then I realized something. “Wait. How did you know I’m a virgin?” We’d never talked about it because I tended to lose my head around him, but clearly, he knew.
He smiled tenderly. “Call it intuition.”
“What about you?” Great. I wanted to talk about his past conquests while desperate for him?
His smile slipped. “I won’t lie to you. I’ve slept with people, Sky, but I swear I’m negative. Shifters can’t get sick like that, and ever since our first kiss, I haven’t thought about any of them. It’s like no one but you has ever existed. If I could go back—”
I hadn’t meant to make him feel guilty. “Let’s make sure you really forget.” I would pleasure him so many times he wouldn’t even remember that he’d been with anyone before me. I was determined. I arched my hips against him, and he hissed.
“Forget what?” he rasped as he pushed against my entrance.
“Right answer,” I said and leaned forward, claiming his lips.
Our bodies moved, and he inched inside me and paused, waiting for my body to adjust to him. Then he slid in a little more, taking his time. Each time he went deeper, it ached more,but with his mouth on mine, it was hard to feel anything but the pleasure of his body.
Soon he was all the way in, and he raised his head and asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurting?”
“Just give me a second.” The warmth and pressure were nearly overwhelming, and I clung to the new sensations.
“However long you need.” I heard the reverence in his voice. Then he peppered my face with kisses and cupped my breast.
