Nova’s moans became louder as Darren licked, sucked, and nibbled on every inch of her. Between his mouth and the hot water rushing over, an imminent climax was fast approaching. Nova was right on the verge of an orgasm when Darren roughly pressed a finger deep inside her. The surprising sensation sent her spiraling over the edge. She cried out when her muscles contracted around him.
As she began to come down, Darren continued moving his talented mouth. He flicked his tongue gently across her throbbing clit, sending her into an immediate, softer second wave of bliss. God, Darren was so fucking talented with his tongue and fingers. Nova pulled on his hair, forcing him to stand up. She made quick work of his wet clothes. Her eyes feasted on his large erection. She needed him inside her, now.
Pulling him down to her lips, she mumbled, “Take me to bed.”
Darren lifted her up, slinging her long legs around his waist. They walked to the bed, but instead of laying Nova in it, he set her on her feet. She opened her mouth to complain but was quickly silenced when Darren spun her body away from his and bent her over the mattress. He entered her in one swift motion. Her slick passage was already wet and willing to accommodate his length. Darren moved with a leisurely pace, gently burying himself to the hilt, before dragging himself slowly out to the tip. Nova squirmed beneath him, craving more.
Darren let out a slow, sexy laugh. He leaned lower and whispered in her ear, “Impatient, aren’t we?” His next thrust was hard and fast. Nova gripped the sheets between her fingers. Something sparkly caught her eye.
The ring!
Darren continued to pummel into her. Geez, did she really get to have this kind of mind-blowing sex for the rest of her life? She didn’t know what she had done to deserve a hot-as-sin mate but she was grateful. So grateful, and so close.
Darren grasped a fistful of silver hair and pulled Nova’s head up. She cried out in pleasure and pain. He twisted her head and then leaned down to take her mouth in his, never losing pace. When he finally released her, she was on the precipice of an earth-shattering orgasm. She pushed her hips back to meet his primal thrusts. A growl rumbled through his chest. He squeezed hard around her hips and her walls clamped down around him as she rode her euphoric wave. Darren’s low, guttural grunt and erratic thrusts told her he had found his release as well.
He slipped out of her and collapsed on the bed. Nova just lay there, unable to move or speak. “You all right?” Darren asked, his voice husky. All Nova could do was give a small thumbs-up. Darren chuckled. “You look good like this.”
She rolled to her back, finally mustering up enough energy to speak. “Like what?”
He grinned. “Likethis.” And gestured to her.
“Oh you mean like somebody just fucked my brains out?”
Darren drew her to his side. “Not just anyone.” He held up her hand so that the ring sparkled in the light. “Your fiancé.”
Nova laughed out loud. “That sounds weird.”
He smirked. “All right then—your mate.”
She tugged him down for a kiss. “Much better.”
ChapterTwenty-Three
Darren had Nova up early the next morning. Well, technically he had her up most of the night, too. They had to follow up with Gideon to discuss recent events. Most of the others were already gathered in the conference room when the couple arrived. A small figure dashed near Nova’s legs and toward the open doors.
“Oh no you don’t.” Lance rushed past Nova, snatching up the toddler before he could escape. Leo squealed and giggled with delight as his dad lifted him high in the air. Lance shook his head. “He’s not even three and already his lycan speed is causing his mother and me to work overtime.”
Darren laughed and ruffled the little boy’s hair. That earned another adorable giggle. Nova’s heart warmed watching Darren with Leo. One day they would have children of their own, and Nova couldn’t think of a better partner, or father, than her beloved mate. She sighed with contentment.
“Glad to see you up and about,” Lance said. His toffee eyes showed genuine affection for Nova.
“Me, too.” She smiled. It had taken Lance a while to warm up to her, but the two had earned each other’s mutual respect during all the recent trials. Nova glanced around the room and found Laurie sitting on the floor bouncing Liam. Normally it would be unusual to bring the little ones to a meeting, but it made sense they would be feeling extra protective of their children after the events of the last few days. Lance and Laurie didn’t want to let their bundles of joy out of their sight. Liam gurgled happily as Laurie continued to bounce him. A giggling Brona sat across from her. Baby Liam had one hand wrapped around Brona’s finger while the other clutched a strand of red hair.
Nova joined them. “I think he’s got a crush on you.”
Brona laughed. “He is pretty cute.” She smiled widely.
“And we all know you have a thing for blonds,” Laurie added, wagging her eyebrows.
Brona’s face turned as red as her hair. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” As if on cue, the doors opened and Aaron entered followed by Lucas. When Lucas caught sight of Brona he gave her a smile and wink. The crimson in Brona’s face deepened. Nova and Laurie burst out laughing. Brona buried her face in her hands. “Stop it, you guys! It’s not like that.”
Laurie waved a hand dramatically. “Sure it’s not.”
Nova turned serious. “How’s Matlena doing?”
Brona’s face brightened. “She’s on the mend! You know that stubborn old woman isn’t going down without a real fight.”
“I’m glad to hear it. Where’s Aria?” asked Nova.
