I was barely anything more than a beast, with one mission in mind. All I wanted was to be inside of her.
Fuck, I wanted to fill her with my cum so it was dripping out of her, to breed her till she grew my pup in her belly. To keep her barefoot and pregnant and bring her home to Walnut Ridge. To feel the full extent of the mate bond flowing through both of us.
“Barrett,” she whimpered as I held on to her waist, keeping her still.
“I know.” I pressed a kiss to the spot between her breasts where the fabric dipped, before reaching down and grabbing the hem, pulling it up over her head. “Fuck, look at you.”
She still had those heeled boots on that made her legs look sexy as fuck, but otherwise, she was completely naked, her nipples practically begging for my mouth. Her teeth raked over her lower lip, like she was slightly self conscious over me seeing her like this. I tried to think about something else, but my brain went completely blank when she reached between us, undoing the buttons before tugging the hem of my shirt. I helped her get it off my shoulders, and she sat back, giving me a heated perusal.
I wondered what I looked like from her eyes, with my freckled shoulders and torso. No part of my body lacked definition—thanks to the amount of time I spent as a wolf—but I didn’t know what my mate would think. I wanted to be enough for her. Wantedthisto be enough for her.
Eryne raked her fingernails down my abs. “Gods,” she whispered, her fingers softly tracing over my freckles. “You’reunreal.”
I slid my hand in between her hair and face, cupping her cheek. “That’s you, sugar.”
She made a sound of disagreement, and I bent my head down, running my tongue over one of her nipples before lightlysucking it into my mouth, lavishing it with attention before switching to the other ones.
“Oh.” Eryne shut her eyes, letting out a small cry.
“See? You’re fucking perfect.” I cupped her perfect tits with my hands. “How did I get so lucky to find you?”
Her lips found my neck, and she pressed a few kisses down my chest, over my freckles, and I had to reach out, cupping her jaw and tilting up her head till her eyes met mine. Eryne wrapped her hand around my cock, stroking it lightly. She ran her thumb around the crown, and I shuddered at her touch.
“Baby. You have to stop,” I pleaded, letting out a groan. I could feel the heat rising within me, and this time, I knew I couldn’t hold back. “I need to be inside of you.”
Her lips pressed against my ear. “I don’t think you’re going to fit.”
She was small, my pretty little mate, but she was perfect. “We’ll make it fit. But first I need to get you nice and wet for me.” I dipped my fingers down to her entrance, circling my thumb around her clit before pushing an index finger inside. “Fuck, you’re soaked,” I groaned as I slid a second finger inside her wet heat.
She let out a small gasp as I crooked my fingers. Her fingernails dug into my shoulders as I continued to slowly pump inside of her, feeling her slowly relax around me. Eryne let out a small cry as her release finally coated my hand, and I couldn’t look away from her face when she came.
“So pretty,” I praised. “But now I need you to come sit on my cock.”
Eryne licked her lips as she raised her hips, helping me guide my tip to her entrance. I watched as she sank down onto my cock, her pussy taking each inch until all that was left outside was the base—and my knot.
I’d promised her I wouldn’t knot her tonight, and I meant it. She wasn’t ready for that.
Though I wasn’t sureIwasready for that either, considering what it meant to knot your mate. I was already having such a hard time holding back from her, but that? That was crossing a line I couldn’t come back from.
I wrapped my hands around her thighs as she dropped her head back. “Oh,fuuck,” she gasped. “You’re so big. I’m so full.”
Pressing a kiss to each of her perfect nipples, I tightened my hold on her, helping guide her up and down my length. She was so tight, and it felt so good inside of her, the way her insides wrapped around my length, squeezing my cock.
“You feel so good,” I said, groaning, knowing I wouldn’t be able to last long enough to make her come again if I didn’t do it soon.
She feltperfect.Like everything was right, and I was exactly where I was supposed to be—inside my mate, with her body pressed against mine. I’d never been inside anyone without a condom before, and it feltincredible.Having my mate like this was everything I’d ever imagined—and more.
She clenched down around me as she kissed me again, her tongue intertwining with mine as she rocked her hips back and forth, grinding her clit against the base of my knot.
“Fuck.” I repositioned us, rolling her over so her head was on a pillow and she was lying down on the couch, and held myself over her. “I can’t hold back anymore.” I kicked off my pants, needing them off my body.
She nodded, like she knew exactly what I meant. “I want you,” she whispered. “All of you. Whatever that looks like.”
I groaned as I pried her thighs apart. Next time, when I wasn’t so desperate, I wanted to put my mouth there. To have her sweet taste on my tongue. To hear her scream out my name as she came on my face. But that would all have to wait.
“I can’t promise I’ll be gentle, but I don’t want to hurt you.”
Eryne reached up with her hand, rubbing the stubble on my jaw. “You won’t. I know you won’t.” Her words echoed her earlier sentiment, and it was all I needed to hear.
