I leaned forward, nose brushing along the line of Blake’s neck. Grinning against his shoulder at his intake of breath, I kissed the place where my mark would go and, without any more delaying, bit down. His blood flooded my mouth, and I swallowed reflexively before licking the bite to help it heal.

Impressions of Blake’s love for me filled my mind, and I heard an echo of his thoughts. Need more.

“You should bite me again,” I said, and he nodded, wasting no time before finding the spot where he’d placed his mark.

He ran a finger over it. “It’s lighter than it was.”

“Do it.”

Tongue taking the place of his finger, Blake laved the spot and then bit down. A brief flash of pain and then everything was open to me. All of his thoughts that he didn’t filter, no walls to divide me from his family. I heard his brothers exclaim before I erected my own shutters to keep them out.

This moment was just for me and Blake alone. He held me tight and I just let him see everything in my heart.

Our lips met in a gentle kiss as the tingling started. Warmth flared up and over my body. Within moments, it was almost unbearable how empty I was feeling. I wriggled in response to my discomfort, breaking our kiss, and stripped off the towel that was barely hanging on.

Blake’s pupils flared as he caught the scent of my heat beginning, his hands tightening on my hips. I took his mouth again, feeling the arousal grow between us. The scent of our precum and my slick filled the room.

I made a sound of protest as he tried to slow it down. “Need.” I panted against his lips.

“Take what you need.”

Rising, I pulled the towels out of the way, throwing them off the bed, and rose over Blake’s straining cock, the tip pressing at my entrance. There was no time for extended foreplay. It hurt too much to wait. I needed to be filled with my mate now.

I sank down on him, exhaling with pleasure at the feeling of being fully connected to my mate. Still, I needed more and began to move, becoming frustrated quickly that it wasn’t quite enough.

Blake sensed my trouble and flipped us, bringing my feet to his shoulders to press deep inside me.

My heat burned through me as I moaned underneath my mate as he took me harder at my insistence. Harder and deeper, Blake thrust as I sank my fingers into his muscular ass, begging for more.

I felt my orgasm rising slowly, some relief from the intensity of this heat, but not quickly enough. I reached a hand between us and stroked myself quickly, reaching my peak and spilling over my stomach.

Within seconds, Blake came inside me, his knot growing as he pressed deep inside me. His rut demanded that nothing leak out. His eyes were wild as he kissed me. Aftershocks of our orgasms made us gasp and moan.

I lay in the circle of his arms, completely sated for a little while, until Blake’s knot shrank. There was no respite from this heat. My mate groaned in reaction to my scent and thrust inside me again.
