“Yes. I need that, too. The mating heat has been building in me, and I need to feel as close to you as I can.”

Jacob turned on the bedside light and started to go over her back with his fingertips. There were a few bruises, but otherwise, it was fine.

“Let’s roll you over,” he murmured.

Once she was flat on her back, he started from her toes and slowly inspected her. His teeth snapped together when he got to her arms and saw all the defensive marks. When his scrutiny got to her face, he wanted to howl in fury.

Her forehead was very bruised, and there was a cut at the top, but it was already healing. Her cheeks, mouth, and chin were slightly swollen. But it was the residual fear in her eyes that made him feel gutted. He couldn’t stop sayingwhat ifto himself over and over again.

“My mate should never have a bruise on her. If I’d been just a few minutes earlier, you wouldn’t…”

She pressed her hand over his lips. “Don’t, Jacob. This is all on me. I disobeyed you, and I’m one hundred percent at fault here. You do an excellent job of keeping me safe. You do everything possible, but I must fight my inclination to be independent and follow your orders to make it work. I’m so incredibly sorry, Mate. I love you so much, and the last thing I want is to upset you. I’ve waited my lifetime to find you, and the last thing I want is to give you pain of any kind. I don’t know how many states and towns I drove through to find where I belonged. I tried putting down roots in a few places, but something always pushed me to move on. Only with you do I feel whole, and I’ve finally found the place and the person I belong to.”

He lay beside her, tucked her tightly against him, and held her for a long moment, savoring the perfect feeling of having her in his arms.

Jacob started kissing her passionately. “I want to beat on your ass so much right now, but I need to be inside of you more.”

She nodded and groaned. “Yes. But beat me later, I need you to fuck me now.”

He smiled for the first time in hours and rolled her to her stomach. “Up on your hands and knees.”

He gripped her hips when she got in position and was behind her. “I’m going to take you hard. If at any time the pain is too much, tell me.”

“Okay.”

A scream tore from her throat when he lunged into her in one swift thrust. He didn’t give her time to adjust but went at her with the need to build and strengthen their bond.

She swiftly started to tighten on his cock.

The piston-like movement of pulling her up and down on his cock made his spine tingle and his balls harden. There was no other place on earth he felt as whole as he did when he was inside of her.

“That’s it, Mate. Come for me.”

He felt his own orgasm rise and waited until she was screaming out hers when he let his own go and bent over her back. He bit down on the skin between her neck and shoulder, marking her for all to see as he continued to pump into her cunt. That threw her over again. Her elbows collapsed as he finished shooting his cum into her.

If he thought that would appease his appetite for her, he was wrong. He pulled out, flipped her onto her back, came over to her, and drove back into her.

For the next hour, he made her come five more times and him twice. He couldn’t get over the fact that he could come so many times because he always thought he emptied the sperm from his balls every time, but there always seemed to be more.

“This is the last time I’ll take you tonight, Baby.”

“Oh, God. I can’t take anymore. I can’t come again.”

His thrusts were slow and shallow. “Yes, you can—one more time. Do it for me.”

Her nails dug into his upper arms as he braced himself over her. He powered into her in short stabbing lunges. When she continued to fight it, he reached under her and shoved two of his broad fingers up into her ass as far as they could go.

“Oh, my God.” Her breath caught in her throat before she stiffened and then tried to scream. It was impossible because her throat was sensitive from yelling the last hour, much like his throat was from his guttural moaning.

When every seed in his balls shot into her, he felt like he could finally relax. He braced his weight on his elbows, surprised at how much he shook. When he had more energy, he pulled out of her, slid to the side, brought her back against his chest, and reached for the towel he used for his shower to clean up.

He glanced down at her when her breathing had evened out to find her sleeping. Fuck. He knew he couldn’t take her again. She was wiped out, and they were both sore, but damned if his cock didn’t twitch.

He didn’t think he’d feel one hundred percent better unless he had a part of him tucked inside her at all times, which was ridiculous.

His eyes closed when a wave of exhaustion hit him. He would sleep for a little while and then take care of his mate. At the moment, he wouldn’t have been able to move unless there was some threat to Sage. Right now, they were locked in their home, and his brothers were nearby and would hear or sense if he needed anything.

He could rest for the time being.
