He kisses my forehead and I swear I try to keep my eyes open, but I’m being pulled down into sleep. I’m aware of being shuffled around a bit, and then a blanket is wrapped around me, followed by my mate snuggling up close.
I fall asleep with his words on a loop in my mind.My precious mate.
CHAPTER EIGHT
GRIFFIN
Islowly blink awake, my wolf rousing in my chest and letting me know he needs something. It doesn’t take me long to figure out exactly what he wants. Our mate.
Peering over at my beautiful girl, my heart trips all over itself as I take in her curvy figure silhouetted by the glow of the morning light. I reach out and trace a line from her temple to her chin, then tuck a few strands of her fiery red hair behind her ear so I can see her better.
No sooner does she open her eyes than I’m leaning closer, needing my first taste of the day. Phoenix welcomes my kiss, opening up for me and instantly driving me wild.
When we come up for air, Phoenix looks at me with those green eyes that pierce my fucking soul and break me and heal me at the same time.
“Morning, mate,” Phoenix whispers, a sleepy smile spreading across her face.
I breathe in her words and feel them fill my lungs, seeping into my bloodstream and pumping through my heart. “I love when you call me your mate,” I admit, combing my fingers through her hair.
“I love being your mate,” she counters, her eyes sparkling.
I don’t have words, so I show her what she means to me in a way I know she’ll understand.
I cup the back of her neck and draw her in for another kiss. She opens up for me, and I savor her taste, caressing every inch of her mouth. It belongs to me.
Continuing my exploration of Phoenix, I run my hand down her throat and over her collarbone, my mouth following close behind, nibbling and sucking on her sweet skin as I go, paying extra special attention to the mark on her neck. I feel her breath hitch, her back arch, and her chest pressing against my lips as I devour her.
I roll us so she’s on her back underneath me and cup her perfect breasts, weighing them in my hands and flicking her pebbled nipples with my thumbs. Pushing them together, I lick her cleavage and kiss the tops of her perky tits before sucking a nipple into my mouth. I kiss a trail to her other breast and give it the same treatment.
My hands slide down her torso, giving my mouth access to the sensitive underside of her breasts. I nip at one and then the other, earning me the most delicious whimpers from Phoenix. Trailing kisses down her torso, I pause only to lick around her belly button and dip my tongue inside.
I reposition myself, leaning back on my heels and bending down once more to give her pretty little pussy a kiss. I’ll come back to her later, but for now, I need to worship every inch of Phoenix and memorize all of her most sensitive spots.
She’s wriggling underneath my soft touches and kisses, but I’m not done yet. I wrap my fingers around her calf, holding her left leg in place with one hand while running my other hand up the inside of her thigh. I lift her leg up and kiss the inside of her ankle, up, up, up, until I reach the tender skin behind her knee, where I bite and kiss away the sting.
Ghosting my nose and lips up the inside of her thigh, I bring both hands up and spread her legs. Wide. My tongue snakes out and licks the seam where her leg meets her torso. Phoenix bucks her hips, so I lick her again before moving to her other leg, repeating the process until she’s shaking.
I look up and see Phoenix watching me with hooded eyes. She moans for me as I swipe my tongue through her soaking wet slit, rubbing her wetness against my face. I can tell she’s already on edge, worked up from how I devoured her body.
My hands steady her hips while I drink from her, lapping her juices and sucking her folds. She's trembling, whimpering, and writhing. I love knowing I'm controlling her with the tip of my tongue.
I could stay here for hours, teasing her, tasting her, keeping her on the razor’s edge. But I have so many other things I want her to experience with me, so I suck her clit into my mouth and graze my teeth over the sensitive ball of nerves. Phoenix cries out and convulses underneath me, her back arching, knuckles turning white from gripping the sheets, and legs snapping around my head as I suck down her release.
When the last tremors of her orgasm fade, I crawl back up her body and take her mouth in a sloppy kiss, spreading her juices all over her mouth. It makes me so fucking hard getting her messy.
Phoenix is spread out before me, offering herself up. I can’t believe she’s all mine. This fucking goddess laid bare before me. I’ll make sure she never regrets being my mate.
“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Fucking love your body, your curves, your skin. I’m addicted to you. Can’t believe you’re my mate, and I get to keep you.”
Phoenix flashes me a brilliant smile, then surprises me by pushing on my chest and motioning for me to lie down. I do asshe says, staring at her in awe as she lifts herself up on her knees, hovering over my painfully hard cock.
“Phoenix, yes, beautiful,” I groan as her pussy lips massage just the head of my swollen dick. “Take what you need from me.”
My sexy mate drops down, impaling herself with my cock as we both cry out in ecstasy.
My hands slide up her thighs and grip her hips as her hands rest on my pecs, giving her the leverage she needs to bounce and find her rhythm. She rocks on top of me, grinding her sweet pussy on me before lifting up and slamming back into me. From this angle, I can see her stretching wide for me, her pussy lips looking obscene as they swallow my huge cock.
“Jesus, Phoenix. So…fuck. So fucking good,” I grunt out.
