“I do,” she kissed his nose.
He laughed again. “You want to tell me about those nightmares?” He brought the subject back around.
She was saved by Becca coming into the door. He snarled at the female and Becca rolled her eyes.
“Well, good morning, Alpha. Calita.” Becca dropped the small grocery bag she was carrying on another counter.
“Good morning,” Calita waved.
“The clan will be here in a few hours, and I want to shower before they arrive.” He nuzzled into his mate’s neck. “Want to join me?” He whispered.
Calita gripped his chin and stared into his eyes, giving him a subtle nod.
A purr rocked through his chest and he lifted his mate from the counter. Was it rude to leave? Probably. But did his bear care when the prospect of being inside their mate loomed.
Hell no.
“Put me down,” Calita hissed as he climbed the stairs with her. “I’m too big for you to carry like this.”
He kissed her to stop her fussing, their tongues dueling the whole way up the stairs. He set her down once they reached his bathroom. He stared into her eyes, gauging her comfort.
“Are you sure, love?” He pulled his t-shirt from his jeans.
Calita licked her lips. “Absolutely.”
“No more shyness, I’ve seen your scars,” he whispered against her lips.
She took a shuddering breath, their air mingling. He thought she would back down but she nodded and reached for the hem of her tank top. Lord above, his mate was going to get naked in front of him. He didn’t realize how much he wanted that. His bear reared the moment the silk camisole cleared her breasts. Simon stepped forward and cupped the heavy weight of them, his rough palm grazing her warm skin. She sucked in a breath, as he trailed over her nipples. His hands roamed down the skin of her rounded stomach, his touch light as they breezed back up.
He traced the skin of her chest, drifting down to the scars that she would always carry. She was so strong, his mate. In ways she would never consider. She didn’t flinch as his hand moved over one of the razor thin scars bisecting right beneath her breasts. His bear shuddered, his power saturating the bathroom as he thought about everything she’d been through. He looked up and her vulnerable gaze speared him.
“My beautiful, strong mate,” he growled before devouring her mouth.
Her body trembled beneath his hands. He sipped at her lips, taking in her every sigh as her body relaxed. Finally her hands wrapped around his neck and she arched in his arms.
“There you are,” he whispered against her lips.
He backed them up until they reached the shower stall, pausing only to start the water. She pulled at his shirt and he tossed it aside. She kissed his shoulders as he stepped out of his pants. He pushed down her shorts with impatient hands, helping her step out of them. He growled and pulled her into the shower stall. Hot water pelted his back, but he didn’t release his mate’s lips. Their tongues dueled, desperation adding heat to their caresses. He pressed her into the cold tile, lifting one of her legs around his waist.
“Yes,” she hissed, arching.
He leaned down and sucked a nipple, laving it, his teeth grazing across it. He trailed his hands down to her sex and found her wet and wanting.
“Ready for me, love?”
She nodded, her eyes meeting his, need broadcasting clear. He circled his shaft at her entrance and took a deep breath. Giddy, his hands shook as he guided himself back to her center. He loved the feel of her. He pushed in, closing his eyes as the walls of her sex gripped his cock. He let out a rough exhalation, forcing his body still so he could bask in the feel of her body.

Calita squirmed and he pulled back, his hips working as he pushed back in. For every thrust inside, her body tightened, building on an orgasm she wasn’t quite sure she was ready for. Simon didn’t rush, his strokes were slow, sensual thrusts that stalled her breath. Her womb clenched and she arched her back, wanting to take in his every inch.
She gripped his ass, pulling him into her body, grinding her clit against him on his every push in. Steam built in the shower stall, beading against their skin. She licked at his shoulder, sucking on the skin of his neck. His hips jerked and he growled when her teeth scraped against the front of his neck.
“Careful, love, you’re not ready for what that brings.” His eyes were gold, a savage need shining through them.
He might be right.
Simon picked up his speed, and her nails gripped his shoulders. Her legs shook, and heat gathered in the pit of her stomach, spreading to her sex. Simon reached between them and plucked at her clit, sending her reeling. The orgasm burst throughout her body, potent in its intensity. Tension flowed from her body, but an exhilarating wave of heat rushed back in until she was dizzy. His hips stiffened as he drove in once more, his body shuddering, growls rumbling his chest as he came. She tightened her leg around his waist and rode out the orgasm, a languid smile tipping up her lips.
