He traced the silver scar below her collarbone with his tongue, the one he’d noticed that first night.She shivered beneath him, her nails dragging down his back hard enough to leave marks that made him hiss with pleasure.
This scar,he said, pressing a possessive kiss to the thin line.Tell me.
Training accident when I was fifteen,she breathed, then gasped as he bit gently at the sensitive skin.Gregory was teaching me knife work, and I—oh god, what are you doing to me?
Everything,he growled against her throat, his teeth scraping her pulse point in a way that made her whimper.I’m going to do everything to you.Going to worship every inch of this perfect body until you’re screaming my name.
His mouth moved lower, finding the curve of her breast, and she arched beneath him with a broken moan that went straight to his cock.
When he took her nipple between his lips, rolling it with his tongue before biting down just hard enough to make her cry out, she bucked beneath him with enough force to nearly unseat him.
So responsive,he murmured against her skin, his hands skimming down her sides to grip her hips possessively.Do you have any idea what you do to me?How crazy you make me?I can barely control myself around you.
She looked down at him with eyes gone molten gold, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her skin flushed with desire.
Then don’t,she challenged, her voice husky and desperate.Don’t control yourself.I want to see what you’re like when you let go completely.
The hunger in her voice, the way she looked at him like he was everything she’d ever wanted, broke something primal loose in his chest.His wolf surged forward, demanding he claim her completely, mark her as his in every way possible.
Careful what you ask for,he warned, his voice dropping to a growl.Because once I let go, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop.
Good,she said, her smile predatory.I don’t want you to stop.I want you to take everything.I want you to make me yours in every way that matters.
The words shot straight to his cock, and he captured her mouth in a kiss that was pure claiming—teeth and tongue and desperate need.
She met him with equal ferocity, her nails raking down his back as she pulled him closer, deeper into the kiss.
He continued his worship of her body, kissing and tasting his way down her stomach, pausing to explore the lean muscles of her abdomen, the sharp angle of her hip bones.Every touch made her writhe beneath him, soft sounds of pleasure escaping her lips that drove his own arousal to painful heights.
You taste like heaven,he murmured against her skin, his voice rough with need.Like you were made just for me.My perfect mate.
When he reached the apex of her thighs, he paused to glance up at her.She was watching him, her lips parted and swollen from his kisses, her body trembling with anticipation.
Please,she whispered, and the desperate edge in her voice made his cock throb with answering need.I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you.Never needed anyone like this.It’s like I’m burning from the inside out.
This fierce, dangerous woman who trusted no one had just confessed her complete vulnerability to him, and it made him feel like he could conquer the world.
His cock jerked in response.
Mine,he growled, the word carrying all the possessive hunger of his wolf.You’re mine, Nadine.Say it.I need to hear you say it.
Yours,she gasped, her hips lifting toward him in shameless invitation.Only yours.
The first taste of her nearly shattered his control completely.She was honey and salt, intoxicating in a way that made his wolf howl.Her hands tangled in his hair, holding his mouth to her pussy as heexplored her with lips and tongue, learning what made her gasp, what made her moan, what made her legs tremble around his shoulders.
God, Conall,she panted, her body arching beneath his ministrations.Your mouth—what you’re doing—I can’t—
He redoubled his efforts, using everything he’d learned about her responses to drive her higher, to make her fall apart for him completely.
The mate bond carried her pleasure back to him, amplifying his own arousal until he was desperate for friction.
That’s it,he murmured against her heated flesh.Let go for me.I want to feel you come apart.
Her climax hit her like a thunderbolt, her back arching off the bed as she cried out his name with enough force to make her voice crack.
The sensation crashed through the mate bond with such intensity that Conall nearly came from her pleasure alone, his cock throbbing almost painfully as waves of her ecstasy washed over him.
God, yes,he murmured against her inner thigh, pressing possessive kisses to her heated skin as she trembled through the aftershocks.So gorgeous when you let go for me.I want to make you come like that again and again until you can’t remember your own name.
