Watching his mate, making her come apart in his arms, listening to her body and learning how to please her…it was everything.
If he died here and now, he’d die happy.
And pretty much only death would stop him at this point, because satisfying his mate was addictive.
He needed more.
She didn’t give him a chance to take control again, though. She shocked him by slithering off the edge of the bed and slipping to her knees before him.
Surely, she didn’t intend to…not with her tiny, human mouth…
But oh, she did. Roxie grabbed hold of his cock, tugged him toward her, and wrapped her lush, sinful lips around him.
A ragged hiss escaped him as he slid his hands into her hair and stared down at her. Her dark gaze met his as she sucked him into the back of her throat and cupped his balls in her hand.
“You’re killing me,” he choked out, watching her cheeks hollow as she sucked harder.
Her pleased hum tightened his balls and sent a shudder—an entirely pleasant one—down his spine. She was enjoying the control she had over him in that moment.
He wished he could let her keep it. But he was not going to come in her mouth, and he was very quickly losing the ability to stop that from happening. He gave her hair a gentle tug, forcing her to let go.
Her lips were shiny and wet as she blinked up at him. “Tell me you’re sure,” he said, barely recognizing the feral voice as his own.
“I’m sure.”
Thank fuck.
“I’m on birth control,” she added.
And since monsters couldn’t carry or spread human diseases, that meant he’d be fucking his mate with nothing between them.
If he lasted two minutes inside her, it’d be a miracle.
“Hurry,” she pleaded.
Oh, my queen. That’s the one thing I’m afraid I can’t do.
“Don’t worry, my love. We have all night.”
CHAPTER 16
All night? She wasn’t going to survive another second if he didn’t fuck her soon.
She was done waiting.
But when she reached for him, he flipped her so that she was bent over the foot of the bed and bound her hands together at the wrist over her head with his tail.
“No touching.”
She sputtered, struggling against his hold. “But…but…”
Whatever she was going to say next was lost forever when he slid his fingers over her slick flesh. “You might not accept me as your mate yet, and that’s fine. But this cunt…um…yes…this fucking gorgeous cunt is mine now.”
Who knew she was into dirty talk? Not her. But given the inarticulate, needy noise she’d just let out, she was totally into it.
He wrapped his big body around hers and licked a path up her spine. “Say it,” he growled. “Tell me who this cunt belongs to.”
Her stomach muscles clenched. “It’s yours,” she said on a breathy gasp.
