She gave him a small smile. “Every part of you is huge, Big Guy. I might not have taken that into consideration.” She motioned to his bed. “Maybe we should start there after all.”
Once they disentangled themselves from each other and relocated to his bed, he slid over her body. After rubbing against her folds, he pushed inside, taking it slow.
She moaned in delight. “Yes, this is better.”
“Incredible.” He pushed into her tight, slick channel. “Incredible.”
She released a soft gasp. “Oh, Arto. You feel so good.”
How he longed to hear her say his name in passion like this. “So right.”
He’d wanted this for months, and the reality far eclipsed any fantasy. She tightened around him, and it felt incredible. He moved in and out of her, and she clung to him. With each thrust, she released soft, low sounds.
By the moon and stars, he was near delirious with pleasure. Sex had never felt like this before. Not just the physical sensations, which almost catapulted him to climax too soon, but this strange connection. It singed his veins with a magical hum, promising him that he’d never be the same.
Something was happening between them, something strange. It was like they were connected on another level. An emotional one. No, a spiritual one. He didn’t know exactly how to identify it beyond knowing that it was because she was the only one—his one true mate.
He moved faster, wilder, losing himself inside her with feral lust. He arched against her as he slid in, sensing the angle that she responded to most, and her moans grew louder. “Do you like it like this?”
“Yes,” she cried. “Fuck me, Arto.”
Wow. Hearing her talk dirty to him was mind-bending. Sweet midnight, he craved her so.
“Ooh, this feels so good.” She panted. “Let me on top.”
After he pulled out, she slid out from underneath him. Once he was on his back, she straddled him, slowly grinding down on his cock.
He grasped her hips. If he thought holding her against the wall was hot, this was volcanic. Not only did she feel incredible as she claimed control of the pace, but he could see her—her breasts, her body, and the utter rapture on her face with her half-closed eyes lost in desire.
She rode him harder, almost relentless, as she rose to her peak. Pressure rose inside him. Se arched her back and cried out his name. As her walls tightened around him, it shot him to the stratosphere with her. His body coiled, and then he exploded on the next fierce thrust. Lights burst behind his eyes. Jet after jet shot out of him until he was thoroughly depleted.
She fell forward on top of him, and he held her close.
They lay together on his bed, limbs tangled around each other. Her body was as hot and damp as his, and their heartbeats crashed together. Their rapid breathing was the only sound in the room.
So, this was what it was like to be with his mate. He wouldn’t dare do anything to shatter this perfect moment.
A couple of minutes later, Janie lifted her head. “I hope you can stay with me all night.”
He wished he could. With a frown, he answered, “I’ll have to go back out in a few hours.”
“So soon?” Her blue eyes widened.
“Yes. Don’t worry about it. Just rest.”
She trailed her fingers down his chest. “I wish I hadn’t waited so long to be with you.”
He turned and kissed her shoulder. “Don’t have any regrets. However we got here, we got here. I’m just happy that we have time together now.”
Although he treasured every second with Janie here in his arms, the minutes would rush by all too soon. Then he’d have to leave her again and go in search of the demon. And do whatever he could to keep his promise to return to her.
JANIE
When Janie woke to the sunlight streaming in from a crack in the curtain and onto her face, she knew Arto was gone. His muscular arm wasn’t draped over her body. His weight was no longer behind her on the mattress. And the room was so much cooler, especially after the heat they’d generated together last night.
She climbed out of bed and opened the curtain. What a phenomenal view. The sun rose over the harbor with streaks of pink, orange, and yellow. As she returned to bed, she spotted a note on the nightstand near her phone.
Had to go back out.
