Page 57 of Reaper
As she thought back on their relationship, his claiming, she should have insisted that they wait to see how the situation would end.
But she didn’t regret telling him that she loved him.
His feelings must’ve changed since the danger lifted.He felt obligated to keep her around because he’d bit her, claimed her, and she’d changed into a wolf.But she needed him to be happy.
She met his eyes then, and before he could hide it from her, she spotted disgust.Flinching, she pushed off the wall and started toward the door.He might have been able to talk himself into a relationship with her, but she would save him the torment and leave.She lowered her eyes to the ground and counted the steps as she walked.But before she made it halfway to the door, she was lifted into the air.Blinking, she found herself on her back on the soft bed.Reaper hovered over her with a fierce gaze.
“I can’t live without you.You own my soul, and no matter how many people come after you, or how dangerous you think you are, I will love you and will always be by your side.”Reaper kissed her then, one that was meant to be punishing but only managed to steal her breath.
When he pulled back, his eyes roamed over her face and she asked a question.“Why…didn’t you touch me when…”
“I was afraid I would hurt you.You’ve been in and out of consciousness for four days.You didn’t respond to me, and I was scared that I would hurt you.”
“Are you okay?How did you heal from that?” she asked.
He brushed another kiss against her lips, and held her close.“You did it.Liv said that my heart had been shredded by the hollow point bullets, but somehow, you managed to repair it.We all think that your healing ability increased when you became a shifter.This time, it took several hours to regain consciousness, but after I woke, there was no sign of what happened.”
“I thought that you didn’t want me anymore.”
“No, beautiful.I will always want you.I love you and I have forever to prove it to you.”
“I love you, too.”Her voice came out clear and sure.
Without waiting for him, she reached for the hem of his shirt and started to tug it up and over his head.She pressed a kiss against the spot where he’d been shot, and smiled against his skin.
“Easy, beautiful.”
Shaking her head back and forth on the pillow, she reached between them and snapped open the button on his jeans.With quick movements, she slid the zipper down and hooked the waistband of his jeans with her thumbs.Without any help from Reaper, she slid his jeans as far as her arms reached before she hooked his clothes with her feet and continued to strip him until she heard the distinct sound of his jeans hitting the floor.
Her hands roamed over his exposed skin, and when she reached his tight ass, she squeezed his flesh and laughed when he growled at her.
“Four days is a long time to go without my mate,” she teased.
His teeth bit against her bottom lip in an action that sent pleasure straight to her core.It was his turn to tease, and when she lifted her head to press her lips against his, he slid his tongue along the bite from moments before.
“Kiss me,” she begged.
Instead, he slid his mouth along the sensitive area of her neck, and nipped at the mark he placed.She sucked in a breath as pleasure jolted her system, and she felt his mouth lift in a smile at her reaction.
He kissed lower, dragging his teeth over her sensitive collarbone, and she bucked against him.
Moaning because she was still fully clothed, she reached to undress herself, but he prevented her movements.Instead, he caught her gaze and sliced her clothing off with one stroke, tossing aside the shreds as his fingers skimmed over her skin.
Teasing, kissing, and licking behind her ear and then moving toward her other one had her bucking against him in order to find her pleasure.His hands added to the torture when one gripped her waist to hold her still, and the other one snaked between them.He flicked her clit with the pad of his thumb, sending throbbing sensations of pleasure straight to her core.
The wetness between her legs trailed down to the sheet, and she involuntary flexed, moaning into his mouth.
Whipping her arms and legs around him, she used all of her strength to flip them around until he lay on his back.When she glanced at his face and spotted the surprise, she took advantage of it.
She nipped his ear, and kissed her way over his neck and down onto his chest, with slow, unhurried movements.Her tongue darted across his hot skin, tasting him and savoring each inch of his exposed skin.As she reached his nipple, her tongue flicked out and she shivered when his moan shook her body.Instead of moving on, she pressed her lips against him and suckled his nipple.Her tongue added pressure, and soon, she had him bucking his hips against hers, seeking her wet warmth.
As she kissed across his chest to his other nipple, she found her voice, although it was husky with need.“I love to touch you.”
Savoring each inch of skin, she continued to worship his chest before another part of him made itself known.
Sliding down while nipping and licking him, she sucked in a breath when she reached his cock and found a drop of his essence that formed at the tip.Her tongue darted against his fiery skin, and she moaned aloud.
“You taste so good.”
