She’s mine. I will not let the fucking asshole guardians and their perverted tricks ruin what should be ours.
I inhale her scent, absorb her warmth, and will my sparks of panic to dwindle. When I lower my head to steal another kiss, the heat of it sears away any lingering chill.
I jerk at my pants, and Riva resumes her assistance. She caresses my bare thighs until a groan that’s all hunger reverberates out of me.
Then she lifts one hand to my face, holding my gaze. “I love you.”
The last fragments of my control shatter. “I love you too. I want you. Ineedyou.”
Her smile could reignite the sun. “You have me.”
I don’t know what I’m doing, but my hips sway toward hers as if we were made to fit together. Her legs splay to make room.
My dick slides between her folds, and the rest of the world falls away.
If I’m stretching her more than she was ready for, she shows no sign of it. Her breathy cry sounds only ecstatic.
I can’t stop myself from pushing deeper, faster. Reveling in the scorching friction of our joining.
My balls pulse. I’d swear my cock gets even harder.
I slam into her, all restraint lost, and Riva bucks to meet me just as wildly. She clutches my shoulders, her forehead tucking against my chest, her breath breaking with bliss.
The same joy blazes through my veins, igniting the shadows that are craving this moment as much as any other part of me.
My claws jut farther, scoring the bedspread. My fangs spring from my teeth as my jaw lengthens. Fur sprouts along my shoulders.
Before I can feel more than a flash of dismay at my unexpected shift, Riva curls her fingers into the tufts of fur as if she welcomes it.
“It’s good,” she mumbles. “It’s good.”
Her body quakes beneath mine, heat floods my groin—and the base of my dick swells in a way I’ve never felt before, not when I got myself off with my hands in furtive moments of privacy. The sudden bulge locks into place inside her, just as the shadows inside me roar to the surface.
I come harder than I can ever remember, in a rush so heady it sweeps every other thought out of my mind. Riva moans, gripping me tighter, and I feel the pleasure of the moment wash through her too as if I’ve totally merged with her, soul as well as body.
I drift to reality to find myself braced over her, my breath rasping, my cock still lodged inside her with that thickened ring that came out of nowhere. I don’t know if I can pull out without hurting her.
The bulge starts to shrink with the fading of my wolf-man features. “I’m sorry,” I mutter. “I didn’t know?—”
Riva curls her hand around the back of my neck. “It’s all right. It must be something to do with your powers, or the shift—it always seems to happen like that, the first time. We lose control over our abilities a little. But not in a bad way.”
She gives me the same brilliant smile, and my heart lights up with the sudden realization.
I did it. I was here for her as a lover as well as a friend, and I didn’t fall apart. I didn’t go crazy.
My damage hasn’t totally ruined me after all.
And now the marks dappling Riva’s collarbone balance out. Two on one side and two on the other.
I shift my weight so I can touch the new one, the one that matches the tingle on my breastbone with a connection I can’t explain, can barely describe.
“I really did it,” I say inanely.
Riva’s smile widens. “With undeniable physical proof.”
A chuckle tumbles out of me. When I adjust my position, I realize my dick has finally softened, the strange swelling fully contracted.
As I sit back on my heels, Riva pushes herself after me. She slings her arms around my torso and hugs me.
