“You’re mine now, little mate,” Cole purred against my flesh.
“Yes.”
He freed my arms long enough to rid me of my clothes, and then caught them again, pinning them above my head while I squirmed, stretched flat out on the bed, fully naked beneath his weight.
He gazed down at me for a long moment, hunger raging in his eyes, then he bent his head and captured my lips with his. His tongue dominated me and I nipped at it, and swallowed his resulting chuckle.
“Fierce mate,” he murmured, tracing one hand down the length of my body, and I shivered at the praise. But I needed more than just words.
“Take me,” I demanded. “Now.”
“Patience, little mate. I’m still enjoying the view.”
I growled in protest and felt myself growing wetter as he raked his eyes over my body.
He plundered my mouth again, devouring my hunger, before trailing kisses and nips south, pausing long enough to tease my nipples with a swirl of his tongue. His hands freed mine finally as he kissed his way over the flat of my body and I grasped at his shoulders, then, with an irritated snarl, tugged his shirt loose and tossed it aside. My fingernails teased the broad plains of his back, and then his head plunged between my legs and his tongue found my clit. I threw my head back with a wanton moan and my fingernails dug into his back, marking him as mine.
And he was.
Mine.
Always mine.
He arched up into my scratches and then recaptured my lips as he positioned himself at my core. With one thrust he was in me, more in me than I could ever have imagined. Not just in my body, but in my soul, and he felt like a part of me. Like I was finally connecting with a part of myself long since lost. Like we were different sides of the same coin finally glimpsing each other, and I met him thrust for thrust, moan for groan, passion and tension building toward a crescendo until I threw my head back with a scream. My core clenched around him and he found his own release in the same moment, and then held me close as I rode out the aftershocks of my orgasm.
And as we sank back to the sheets together, I knew that, no matter what the future held, I would be ready. Because I wasn’t facing the supernatural world alone anymore. 2I had allies in my corner, and most importantly, my mate by my side.
I’d thought coming to Darkveil Academy was the end of my life, but really, it was just the beginning. And I couldn’t wait to see where it took me.
The End
