“Whose are you?” he growled again.
“I’m yours, Asher.” She shuddered at the vibrations of his growl. She was melding herself into him, wanting more, demanding more. She arched her head back again and whimpered.
He smiled at her eagerness. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her. With another growl, he pulled his canines out and licked at her spot once again. They were both breathing heavily, their hearts beating wildly. This was the moment every wolf waited for—the moment they would mark or be marked.
Lita’s head swirled as she felt his canines sink into her neck, and she dug her fingernails into his back. At first, she felt the stabbing pain from the penetration, but soon a warmth rippled over her neck. The pain vanished as quickly as it came, and now, currents of pleasure were coursing through her body. He dug his canines deep into her neck, making sure that he fully marked her. The moment was so erotic and intense for Lita. He slowly pulled them out, and she moaned as pleasure surged through her again. He licked at her fresh wound on her neck, cleaning up his marking spot.
Lita felt the shift and immediate disconnect from her old pack. A new world flooded open for her, and she was now linked to his pack. The marking of a luna transferred a new power through both her and Asher. A marked luna and alpha were stronger. A mated and marked luna and alpha were at their strongest.
She was surprised that she didn’t feel the urge to mark him back. Maybe Mira wasn’t as dominant as she thought she was, or she was still waiting to make sure this was what she wanted as well. Not all females marked their mates, so it wasn’t an unusual situation.
Asher kissed her neck and slowly lifted up, looking down at his mark, pleased with it, before returning to Lita’s lips.
“Now, I’m going to make the rest of you mine,” Asher breathed lowly, then crashed into her lips. His hands removed the remaining clothing between them. He nuzzled his mouth at the base of her throat, feeling her pulse throbbing madly. Tenderly, he kissed the frantic rhythm as he let out a shuddering, passionate breath. Her naked body was scorching his flesh, and he was trying to control his passion. He wanted this moment to be special … for the both of them.
His lips trailed down her neck to her bare breasts, his tongue snaking out to capture a taut nipple, drawing it into his searing mouth. Lita let out a soft moan as she arched her chest into him.The sensations shooting through her body drove her crazy. Her hands clenched his shoulders as she delighted in the feel of his powerful body.
His hand crashed onto her bottom, gripping it like a vise as the tantalizing scent of her arousal consumed his senses. A devastatingly primal growl rumbled from his throat as his fingertips trembled in excitement at the feeling of her wetness beneath them.
He lifted from her as he kneed her legs apart. An inarticulate sound of hunger rumbled from his chest as his dark eyes gazed into hers. His probing maleness stopped at her entrance as he waited for her. As badly as he wanted this, he needed to know she was okay with it. Her eyes met with his, and she gave a slight nod for him to proceed. He pushed forward, slowly penetrating her warm, moist center. He took her easily, sliding his hands beneath her bottom to lift her to him.
Lita’s eyes widened at the sensation of him. Her womanhood trembled around him, wanting to hold onto him, but he began moving slowly. She needed more, so she rocked against him, encouraging him to continue. This was what he was waiting for. He thrust into her, fully burying himself inside of her. Sparks ignited over their bodies as his possessive thrusts found a sensual rhythm. The wild, surging pleasure continued to build into a euphoric pressure.
“Gods, you’re everything, Lita. Everything.”
Her hips rose and fell with his long, smooth motions. Soft moans escaped her lips as the maddening pleasure continued to build.
”Mine,” he growled, as he took her lips in a possessive kiss, claiming her mouth with the same passion that he conquered her body with. She moaned into his mouth as the pleasure overtook her. When he felt her tighten around him, he thrust faster and faster into her, joining her in her orgasm. Her handsdug into his back as he rode out the pleasure with her, thrusting even deeper into her. She felt his warm seed fill her and moaned at the electrifying sensation, her head falling back onto the bed as she came down from her orgasm. He lowered his head to her neck and nipped at it lightly before letting out a deep sigh of contentment.
“Mine,” he breathed into her ear, nuzzling his nose against the tender flesh of her neck. He peppered her face with soft butterfly kisses as he looked her over. “My luna.” She gave him a soft smile before his lips covered hers again.
Thunder continued to ripple as lightning flashes lit up the room, but the storm was no longer an issue. The night was young, and the two continued to explore each other with passion, sealing the mate bond. They were now bonded for life. She was officially the Black Ice Pack’s Luna, Asher Chain’s mate.
Chapter 27
Lita’s eyes fluttered open, her senses immediately overwhelmed by unfamiliar scents and textures. Warm, strong arms encircled her waist, and she was hit by an amazingscent. Her body hummed with a new power and connection. It was then that last night’s events crashed over her.
Carefully, she turned in Asher’s arms, so she could look at her mate. HER MATE! She did it. She’d accepted his mark and was now the luna of Black Ice. Internally, she was squealing. He was hers. This was real and not a dream.
“You can touch me, you know?” Asher’s deep voice rumbled, thick with sleep. His silver eyes opened, fixing her with an intense gaze that made her shiver. “I’m very real, and very much yours.”
“How did—”
“I could feel it … your feelings. They pop in and out, but I can sense them inside of me sometimes.” He smiled, tightening his arms around her waist and pulling her flush against him.
“It doesn’t seem real.”
“This is real, and it’s forever.” He kissed the top of her head. “So, did you see something you like? With the way you were staring at me, I was prepared to be attacked.” He smirked, making her blush.
“Maybe,” she replied, a playful smile tugging at her lips. “I’m still deciding.”
Asher chuckled, the sound vibrating through his chest. “Is that so?” He propped himself up on one elbow, his free hand tracing the curve of her waist. “And what’s the verdict so far?”
Lita’s breath hitched at his touch, her skin tingling. “The jury’s still out,” she managed, her voice breathy. “But I’d say the evidence is ... compelling.”
“Compelling, huh?” Asher’s grin widened as he leaned in, his lips ghosting over her ear. “I think I can make a stronger case.”
Yes, we can make a stronger case. And we will, tonight, when we mark him.
