“What time is it?” She asks.

“Quarter until eight.” I rub her back.

“We slept through lunch and dinner?” Shock creeps across her face.

“Yes, we did. I didn’t sleep much the night before. You went through a lot yesterday and then we ran until the sun came up. Our bodies needed the rest.” I pull her onto my lap.

“That’s Kelsey’s favorite... fried chicken.” She laughs.

“Actually, angel, it’s mine, Zane, and Kelsey’s favorite. We can eat it hot or cold.” I nuzzle into the crook of her neck and inhale her delicious, sweet floral scent.

“Really? I didn’t know that.” She rests her head on mine.

“We still have a lot to learn about each other.” I pull away and look into her eyes.

“I guess we do.” She nervously looks down.

“Hey, I want you to know that we’ll move as fast or as slow as you want. You’ll control the speed. I promise you’ll never be pressured to do anything you’re not ready to do. Okay, angel?” I rub her jaw with my thumb.

“How did you know?” She looks into my eyes.

“You’re my mate. We are one. I can feel your emotions and pain.” I rub circles on her back.

“You feel my pain? Like you felt the pain last night?” She rubs her fingertips on my chest.

“Yes… I felt all of it. Then Alex and I tracked you.” I kiss her shoulder.

“Wow, I didn’t know. Thank you, Ian. I’m nervous about what it means to be a mate.” She bites her bottom lip and sighs.

“It’s okay, angel. Don’t be nervous, it’s just me.” I pull her bottom lip from her teeth and rub it with my thumb. “Earlier. Was that your first kiss?” She smiles and nods yes. “Has anyone touched you like this?” I run my hand from her knee up her inner thigh, stopping inches from her pussy. Her breathing becomes shallow, and I can feel her excitement build. Again, she doesn’t speak, only shakes her head no. “Do you like it when I touch you like this?” I rub circles with my nails and fingertips on her inner thigh. Watching her intently, my eyes never leaving her face. Her body relaxes, and she slightly opens her legs, granting me more access to her. “Would you like for me to kiss you, Kate?” I move my hand from her inner thigh to the opposite hip.

“Yes,” she squeaks out, then takes a deep breath.

Moving my hand from her hip to her face, I caressing her cheek and jaw. Moving slowly and gently, I bring her lips to mine and kiss her softly. I’m her first everything, which is an immense honor in my book. She has preserved herself just for her mate. I want to make sure each kiss is perfect and exactly what she fantasized it to be. I kiss her slowly, savoring the sweet taste of her lips, moving my hand that’s on her back to under her tank top. There is a primal need that I’m fighting, to feel her bare skin on mine, but for now I will settle for feeling her bare skin with my fingertips.

She softly moans into my mouth as sparks radiate from where our skin touches. Both of us are breathing heavily as my cock gets harder by the second. I move my lips from hers and kiss her jaw down to her neck. I kiss, suck, and nip at her neck down to her marking spot. Guiding my tongue over the sensitive area in the crook of her neck, I claim her neck with every lick. Her skin tastes delicious, like a fine delicacy. She lightly gasps at the sensation and moves her head to the side, giving me full access to her exquisite neck. I suck her marking spot and move my hand that’s under her tank top to her breast. Gently, I brush my hand against her hard nipples, then pinch it. Kate moans loudly, opening her mouth. I seize the moment and kiss her again, sliding my tongue deep into her mouth.

My tongue strokes hers begging it to dance. Soon her tongue comes to life. Our tongues dance and twist around the other. They explore every inch of the other’s mouth. I suck and gently bite her lip, thoroughly enjoying the way her mouth tastes. Our kiss is hot and passionate. Lust and our moans fill the air, I can smell her arousal, and it smells fucking divine.

I tug at the hem of her tank top. When she doesn’t stop me, I pull it up, exposing her breasts. She pulls away from my lips and looks down at her exposed breasts, then back at me. Her eyes are black and full of lust. She gives me a grin and nods before pulling her tank top off and tossing it aside.

“Mmmm… MINE.” I growl and take her lips again. This time, the kiss is more passionate and slightly rougher. She moans loudly and moves her hips, grinding her ass into my hard cock. I lay us down on our side, our legs are intertwined. I grind my hard-on into her leg. Massaging her ass, I press my leg against her pussy. I can feel her dampness through our clothes, and it’s driving me insane.I want more.

“You fucking love the way I make you feel, don’t you?” I say into her mouth.

“Uh huh,” she moans out.

I roll her onto her back and position myself on top. Trapping her hands above her head as she opens her legs wide for me. I kiss and suck her neck; our hips move in unison. Heat rises between us. Both our bodies craving more friction, more contact… simply more.

“We can stop, if you want.” I look at her face. I promised her we could take it slow and that I wouldn’t pressure her into doing something she wasn’t ready for, and I intend to honor that promise.

“No… I don’t want to. I want you Ian, so bad.” She holds my face between her hands. Her facial expression is somewhere between love and lust. I don’t hesitate before plunging my tongue deep into her mouth, grinding my rock-hard dick into her pussy.

I massage her perfect breasts with each hand, pinching each nipple between my thumb and forefinger. She gasps and moans while running her nails down my back. I take one nipple in my mouth, taking my time licking and sucking each one before teasing them with my teeth. Alternating between pleasure and pain, she arches her back while running her nails over my scalp. I love the feeling of her nails digging into my skin.

“I want to taste every inch of your gorgeous body, angel. Can I please taste you?” I look into her eyes.

“Yes,” she whispers, then kisses me.
