“Then let’s just be together, Aralyn.You and me.No jobs, no worries.Just us.”
She nodded and bit her bottom lip, and then she rose onto her toes and kissed him, and the whole world dropped away.
He lifted her into his arms and she snuggled into him as he carried her into his apartment and kicked the door shut.He strode into the bedroom and laid her gently on the bed.She grabbed his shirt and pulled him down, their lips connecting once more.He eased from the addictive kiss and straightened his arms to look down at her.
He traced the curve of her lips with his fingertip, then down her jaw to her throat, where he felt the thrum of her pulse.Her hands splayed over his back, her fingertips digging lightly into his skin as he kissed her lips and then followed the path his fingers made down her throat, pulling aside her collar and kissing her shoulder.
She shivered under him, her scent deepening.
He rose once more to capture her lips with his, delving his tongue against hers in a wicked dance that made his senses run wild.He traced her curves and then parted from the kiss so they could strip each other, slowly revealing every inch of each other’s bodies, stealing kisses and whispering to each other about the passionate, sweet things that new lovers did.
He ran his hands over her breasts, kissing her nipples and sucking on them lightly, listening to her heart pounding with his sensitive hearing as he played with her breasts until she was writhing under him.
He made his way between her thighs and she moaned as he pushed her legs roughly apart so he could see her fully, her beautiful body on display for him.He kissed her calf and the side of her knee, then licked a path to her heat where he swore he could get drunk off the sweet taste of her.
As he drove her wild with his tongue, finding that she loved when he growled against her clit, he fingered her to a rough, fast climax that made him want to come right then like he had no self control.It took all his willpower to hold himself in check as she shouted his name and writhed on the bed, scratching his back with her nails and tilting her hips in invitation.He licked his lips to taste her again and then prowled up her body, sliding his cock against her tight heat.
She cupped his face as he rose over her and pushed in slowly, holding her gaze, his cock deep inside her and her pussy clutching him as her climax pulsed within her.
She whispered his name like a sigh and a plea combined and he grinned down at her.Was any male on the planet luckier than him?
He’d found his beautiful truemate in the most unlikely of places.
She hooked her legs around his waist and he snarled, pressing his lips to hers for a moment before he began to move within her.The bed creaked as he thrust forward and pulled back, their bodies moving together as one, their arms around each other, breaths mingling, moans overlapping.
He took her harder, faster, until the headboard was slamming into the wall and he felt like his whole body was going to combust.She slipped her hand between them and he growled in appreciation as she rubbed her clit in time to his thrusts.As he felt her tumble over the edge into oblivion, he joined her, barely stifling his roar of pleasure so he didn’t deafen her, his cock spasming as he thrust a few more times and then stilled, buried deep in her heat, his ears ringing and his cat purring in happiness.
She sank her blunt teeth into his neck and he swore his body sprang to life again.She didn’t break the skin, but he knew what she did and what she wanted when she tilted her head to expose her throat.
He nuzzled her dewy skin and licked the sweat from her before he called for his beast and let his fangs descend.He struck quickly so he didn’t make the pain worse, and she gasped and held tightly to him as he slowly extracted his fangs from her throat and tended to her wound.
Something clicked inside him now that she wore his mark.
They hadn’t just had sex, they’d fully mated.She was his and he was hers.
She sighed deeply when he pulled from her body and settled next to her.Turning into him, she settled her head on his biceps and wiggled close.
“I’m so glad I came here,” she said.“I feel like everything’s going to be okay now.”
“Me too, sweetheart.”
He held her close and closed his eyes, settling down in a deep sleep, his mate securely in his arms.
“Oh, it’s so much warmer here than in Northernmost,” Aralyn said as she crossed through the Portal with Maverick.They’d both overslept and the sun had already set in Eldermoor, so she was late for her shift.She peeked around and didn’t see her uncle waiting, just Church, who gave her a disgruntled sniff.
“I guess he knows you’re late,” Maverick said with a chuckle.
“Seems like it.”
“I’m so glad you came to see me,” he said, giving her a hug.
“Me too.”
He cupped her face and kissed her.“Okay, so we’ll talk in the morning after your shift.”
“You’ll be at work, right?”she asked.“Didn’t you say you usually work days?”
“Yeah, but I’ll switch to nights so we’re on the same schedule.”
