“You’re adorable,” he said, pulling me down for a long kiss. When he pulled back, his eyes glowed a gentle chartreuse. “I want to have our ceremony soon,” he murmured.
I blinked and tilted my head to the side. “You mean the Alpha ceremony?”
He smiled and shook his head. “No, love, I meanourceremony. I want to make you mine in front of the Kings, the Wargs, and the whole fucking world.”
My mouth opened and shock trembled through me. He was serious! I’d seen a wolf ceremony only once before, when Mom and I had prepared the food for a celebration when I was thirteen. From what I remembered, the ceremony had involved a lot of flowers, tons of food, and mostly homemade gifts from the attendees. The couple had dressed up for the occasion, as did those in attendance, and there were tons of desserts and dancing.
These celebrations differed from human weddings I’d read about in romance novels; there wasn’t an exchange of rings, the “bride” didn’t have to wear white, and there weren’t any rituals like throwing the bouquet or the removal of a garter belt by a blindfolded “groom.” Still, Night was essentially proposing to me now. He was telling me that he wanted to show the Kings and the Wargs our claiming marks so they would know that we belonged to each other.
Tears filled my eyes. It hadn’t been long since Night and I had met for the first time, but in a lot of ways, it felt like he’d been in my life all along.
“So, what do you say, Bryn?” he asked.
“Yes! Of course I say yes!” I threw my arms around him, and he laughed, taking my weight.
“You’ve got five days to plan this thing, baby, because I want to make this official the day after your Alpha ceremony.”
That wasn’t a ton of time to plan, but I didn’t care. “Why can’t it happen tonight?” I asked.
“Aren’t you eager?” He kissed me again, longer, slower this time. “I want to give the Wargs at leastsometime to come see us.”
“They’ll be there, too?”
“Some of them, I’m sure. Everyone has been missing you, so they’ll definitely want to congratulate us.”
“How wonderful.” I let out a long, happy sigh. It seemed like all the pieces of our lives were finally falling together. I was claimed, Night was here, and soon we’d be bound in front of our closest friends.
He ran his hand up and down my side, stirring a different kind of hunger in me. “You’rewonderful, Bryn,” he murmured.
When I lifted my head for another kiss, I tasted an answering hunger on his tongue. I hooked a leg over his hip, and he held it there under my thigh. His skin was so hot under my fingers, it was like his blood was made of fire.
“Night,” I said between kisses. “I want you inside me again.”
His answering laugh was deep and rumbling. “Turn around for me baby and press that ass up against me.”
I turned on my other side, and he pulled me up against him. I immediately felt his cock pressing to my back. He wasn’t fully hard yet, but I knew I could fix that. I ground my ass up and down his length and enjoyed the sounds of his sighing pleasure. He pushed up my shirt to take my right breast in his hand, while his other hand snaked around my waist to reach down between my legs.
I groaned, biting my lip as he stroked my pussy. His rubbing, caressing fingers moved in an alternating rhythm to the one I used to grind against him. All the while, he continued to fondle my breast and pinch my nipple.
I reached behind myself to take his cock in my hand. I could feel each vein, each twitch, each sticky bead of precum. I wished I could taste the salt of it and feel it melting on my tongue. Just the thought of it sent my first orgasm of the day rushing to meet me.
He latched onto my mark, and each suck and stroke of his tongue sent fresh, shivering ecstasy through my body. It was so intense, it brought tears spilling from my eyes. As the sweet aftershock thrummed through me, Night released my breast so he could lift my leg, exposing me to the relatively cool air of the bedroom. He panted my name as he pushed up inside me. I cried out at the sudden intrusion, my body stretching for him. The slight pain only heightened the intensity and pleasure of it all.
He wrapped my leg back around his hip and held it there as he continued to thrust inside and his other hand continued to rub and circle my clit. He nuzzled my neck, sending hot electricity through my body as he brushed my mark.
“Oh, fffuuckkk…” I groaned. “Niiight.”
“That’s right, Bryn, tell me how much you love thisdick.” He punctuated the demand with a sharp thrust.
“Ah! Yes! Your cock—it’s too good!” I stretched my arms up and reached behind me to touch him, to hold him even closer. “Night, don’t stop, don’t stop!”
I didn’t need to ask. Those wicked fingers of his teased another orgasm out of me, and as it shuddered through my body, Night flipped us, putting me down on all fours. He took hold of the back of my neck and pressed me down into the mattress. He pulled out to the tip and thrust back in. I screamed, my nails sharpening to tear through the sheets and into the mattress. More tears soaked into the covers.
I felt his own wolf’s claws in my hip and poking into the skin at the back of my throat, teasing the edge of my claiming mark. Each thrust was an achingly wonderful punishment. It felt like he was entering me deeper and deeper each time, pushing the limits of my body as far as they could go. This was Night the Alpha who was fucking me, the man I’d spotted lurking just behind the amused twinkle in his eyes or that wolfish smile. He had kept this side of him hidden from me for too long. My only regret was that I hadn’t met this encompassing, delicious man sooner.
I screamed a second time as a third orgasm ripped through me. His cock twitched inside me as I clenched tight around him, and with a deep growl, he came. I’d thought he came a lot last night, but that was nothing compared to this. His hot seed filled me, and kept filling me. It flooded me until I felt it seeping out from around his twitching cock and down the inside of my leg.
He thrust a few more times until he, spent, collapsed next to me. He gathered me close, and I curled into him. Both of us were panting in the wake of that incredible session.
