This isn’t where everyone else will be gathering—this isn’t where the bonfire is, the food, the laughter. I can hear my friends on the other side of the den, all preparing for a night of pleasure. I almost think I should turn back, convinced this is a trap…and then I see him.
Javi waiting in the field, his back turned.
He’s shirtless, his muscles gleaming in the light of the setting sun, and there’s a mountain laurel tree on the other side of him. I stand still for a second to admire him, knowing it’s only a matter of time before he realizes I’m watching.
He turns.
I walk toward him, padding through the soft grass.
Javi watches me come closer with a smile, though his brow furrows when I get close enough to touch him, my hand on his arm.
“I scared you,” he murmurs. “I didn’t mean to.”
“Well…last time we were here, youdidkidnap me,” I say. “Kinda puts a damper on the romance of it all.”
His face falls. “I won’t ever do anything like that again.”
“I know,” I say. I reach up to touch his face. “Just might take a bit of…oh wow.”
Pleasure tears through me at the lightest touch, stopping me mid-sentence. A low growl rumbles in Javi’s chest and his hand shoots out to pull me closer, his teeth bared at my throat. Over his shoulder, I see the full moon rising in the pale blue sky, its light enhancing every single sensation crawling over my skin.
“Fuck…” Javi growls. “And I thought you were irresistible before.”
His grip slides to my lower back and I arch against him, giving him better access to the bite mark as my hair spills over my shoulder. He bows his head to kiss along my throat, pulling me up toward him, and the mingled scent of mountain laurel and Javi fills my lungs.
I gasp as heat pools between my legs, already so wet that I can feel arousal dripping down my thighs. I’ve always been needy and wild this time of the month, but with my mate…? I feel insatiable.
In one fluid motion, Javi lifts me and tosses me over his shoulder. I squeak as he strides toward the mountain laurel tree, one hand stroking my ass while the other holds me in place. He puts me down at the base of the tree, making sure I land lightly, and then he drops to his knees in front of me.
“I had this whole thing planned, but…” His eyes dart between my legs. “…it’s gonna have to wait.”
My body agrees, pleasure rocketing through me.
He reaches for my thigh and presses an open-mouth kiss to the bite mark, always going for that same spot. I feel his teeth graze me and think he might bite me again, and I wouldn’t mind it. I want to be covered in his bite, his scent, to be filled up withhim. My pussy throbs at even the thought of it, and I roll my hips toward him with a needy whine.
I can’t wait on foreplay. I need to be fucked, filled, satisfied.
Javi must sense my desperation through the bond, because his fingers slide against my folds and find my entrance seconds later. He pushes two thick digits inside and stares up at me with hooded green eyes, and his jaw drops as he slides in deep.
“You’re so wet,” he growls. “So gorgeous.”
“I’m…” I don’t even know what I am. All I know is hunger. “I need…”
Javi’s open mouth moves over my pussy, latching onto me and lapping viciously at my clit. His fingers pump in and out, drawing arousal down his fingers, down my thighs. I rock into his mouth and lean against the tree, and I crumble so quickly that it almost disappoints me that it’s already over.
But the heat is back. Building, building…
“How many times do you think I can make you come tonight?” he asks with a smirk.
His words send another wave of pleasure shooting through me. “I don’t think I can stop.”
“Good,” he rumbles.
Javi moves around me to sit against the trunk of the tree and starts to shimmy out of his jeans, but I leap on him the minute his cock springs free, my knees in the grass. Javi grabs my hips and kisses me hard, and I taste myself on him as his tongue plunges into my mouth, tangling with mine. I need to feel himnow…and thank goodness, he doesn’t tease.
His cock nudges against my entrance for only a moment before I sink down onto him, letting out a feral cry. He doesn’t knot me, though; somehow, he keeps his composure and his wits about him. Javi starts to move my hips up and down, bouncing on his hard cock, letting it fill me.
I come again. I can’t help it, I can’t stop it. Every touch is bliss, euphoria settling over me. I open my eyes and find the full moon overhead, through the boughs of purple mountain laurel, sweetness enveloping me.
