Page 27 of Wolf Touched

Hurt pierced his spot in my chest, forcing me to open my eyes. Immediately, I wished I hadn’t.

He took a step back and dropped his hands to his sides.Is that how you really feel? Because I’m fucking glad you did. Yeah, life got a whole lot more chaotic, and I was a jackass until I figured my shit out, but finding you and completing our fated-mate bond is the best thing to ever happen to me. No matter the cost. It sucks that you don’t feel the same way.

The breath whooshed out of me like I’d been kicked in the gut.Ofcoursefinding you has made me happier than anything. I wouldn’t give you up for the world, not now or ever. You bring me more joy than I ever thought possible.

Then why did you say you’d be better off if you hadn’t come?He raised his hands, threading them through his hair.

Not me.I placed my hands on my chest, feeling as if I were underwater.All of you … but especially you. You can’t go home anymore because of me.

If this hadn’t happened, I never would’ve found out what a selfish asshole my father is and would still be blindly following him.He placed his hands on my shoulders.You make me a better man and make me see things in a different way, even when I don’t want to. Every sacrifice is worth it as long as you’re next to me, loving me.

My chest expanded, feeling so warm.That’sexactly where I want to be too, but dammit, all I do is cause you problems. Hell, I struggled to submit to you when no one else did, and that made things worse for you with your dad’s followers.

Babe, those four wolves downstairs grew up with me. We had stare-offs all the fucking time, so their wolves already saw me as dominant.He placed his forehead against mine.That was the first time for you, and damn, your wolf is strong. I don’t know what you did, but I was beginning to think you’d win. And you know what? If you had, nothing would’ve changed between us. I love you and don’t give a damn if you’re stronger or weaker.

I chuckled.What about equal? I like the sound of that a whole lot better.

We’re definitely equal.He grinned.You putting Aldric and the others in their place had me so hot for you, and I’m hoping that maybe, just maybe, you can help me out with that.

I smiled so large my cheeks ached.I might do you a solid.

Oh no. I’ll be the one who’s solid.He winked, sliding his hands up the side of my shirt.

I leaned back and arched a brow.Really? That was a horrible innuendo.

All my brainpower has gone to my dick,he replied, tugging me against him so I could feel his hardness against my stomach.

Just like that, my body heated, and he kissed me.

Eager to taste him, I brushed my tongue over his lips. He opened, allowing me entrance. He matched every stroke of my tongue, and his fingers dug into my waist as he deepened our kiss.

I slipped my hand under his shirt and traced the curvesof his muscles. With each brush of my fingers, the buzz of our connection increased, and his abs contracted, driving me wild. The rest of the world disappeared until all I sensed were the two of us.

He tore his mouth from mine and kissed down my jawline and neck. My head spun as I leaned my head back, giving him better access. When he reached the juncture of my throat and collarbone, right where my pulse pounded against my neck, he grazed his teeth along the spot.

My wolf howled and my stomach tightened. Though our bond was cemented, there was something so possessive in the action that I melted into his arms. Mind hazy, I lowered my hands, fumbling to unfasten his jeans,desperateto touch him.

He chuckled throatily, feeling my need for him. He grabbed my ass and lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, rocking against him. He groaned as he carried me to the bed and laid me down.

Sitting up, I unbuttoned his pants and pushed them and his boxers down. He sprang free, and I wrapped my hand around him. I’d never tire of seeing him like this.

Here I thought I was the only desperate one.He moaned as he removed my shirt.

His hand slipped around my back and unfastened my bra. Then he tossed it to the floor. His striking blue eyes darkened as he scanned me, and I moved my hand, stroking him.

He growled, his body shivering, making me feel powerful.

What were you saying?I teased as I slowed my pace to drive him wild.

He leaned down, his mouth capturing a nipple as he easily removed my jeans and pushed them and my pantiesoff. His tongue rolled across my nipple, and my back arched just as his fingers slipped between my legs and circled.

The sizzle of our connection and the way he worked my body had pleasure knotting deep inside me. I quickened the pace of my hand on him, wanting to work him into the same frenzy.

Fuck, Sky.He groaned, tugging on our connection. It opened, and I felt his emotions and sensations almost as if they were my own.

Wanting to reciprocate, I tugged on the lilac strand, and our emotions and sensations merged—something I hadn’t realized was possible. I reveled in how erotic it felt.

Friction built in me, sending me over the edge. His fingers quickened, and my ecstasy slammed through our bond. My body shook, but even then, he didn’t slow. I tried to move to get some relief, but his free hand reached out and held me in place. I was at the mercy of his torture, and I both loved it and felt overwhelmed by it.
