Sliding back inside of her, I groaned at the feeling of her pussy taking me in, the feeling of fucking her bare almost too much to handle. My wolf was riding me, so close to the surface, but I held him at bay, needing this to just be aboutusfor our first time.
She let out a moan as I began thrusting in earnest, and it was like something unleashed inside of me as I moved, a guttural noise ripping from my throat as I buried myself inside of her, over and over, careful not to let my knot slip inside.
“Need you to come again,” I grunted, reaching down and rubbing her clit with my thumb as I kept up the pace, slamming into her over and over again as I brought us closer to the edge. Every noise that slipped from her lips spurred me on even more.
Eryne wrapped her legs around my back and squeezed her cunt around me, and I groaned.Dammit, it would be so easy to knot her right now, so needy and pliant underneath me. Every instinct screamed for me to mark her, to claim her fully. To not let her slip away.
“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you?”
My beautiful witch fluttered her eyelashes, her arms sliding down my back, fingers tracing the muscles. “I want you to feel good too.”
I kissed her again. “I already do.” I let my eyes drift shut, just savoring the feeling of being inside my mate. “I don’t want this moment to end.”
She slid her hand around, cupping my cheek and pressing a kiss to my jaw. “I’m not going anywhere, B.”
I brushed her bangs back, running my thumb over her cheekbone. She had no idea what that meant to me. How muchhearing it calmed me, calmed this restless beast inside of me that wanted everything with her.
Eryne’s back arched off the couch as she let out a strangled cry, her pussy clamping down around me as her orgasm ripped through her. “Barrett,” she whimpered.
“Fuck,” I groaned, feeling the telltale signs of my own release. My knot was pulsing, begging to be locked inside of my mate, but I couldn’t. I wouldn’t, not yet. Not when this was so new. “You’re so perfect. So sweet.” I leaned down to kiss her softly as I thrust in again, slowly, not ready for this to be over.
Eryne kissed my neck, sucking on the spot where wolves bit each other to mate, and I was gone.
My orgasm hit me harder than it ever had before, and I pulled out at the last second, wrapping my hand around my knot and squeezing as I painted her skin with my cum, covering her in my scent.
My wolf was satisfied—for now, at least—and I felt the need to rut her slowly fading from my body.
Our heavy breathing slowly turned calm, and I let myself take in my mate underneath me, soft and supple, looking likemine.Eryne’s cheeks turned the most adorable shade of pink.
“That was…”
I hummed. “We should probably clean up, huh?” We’d made a mess of her couch.
She blushed harder.
I stood up, lifting her into my arms, not caring that I was naked in her living room as I carried her to the bathroom. Setting her on the counter, I turned on the tap for the bath, making sure it was not too hot.
Eryne watched me with rapt fascination. “What are you doing?”
“Taking care of you,” I answered instantly. “Don’t tell me no one’s ever taken care of you before, sugar?”
She bit her lip as she watched me test the water. “No,” she finally said, barely a whisper. “Not like this. Not like you do.”
That made me want to find anyone who’d ever hurt her and make them regret not making her feel special. Because she deserved to feel cared for, to be taken care of. She deserved the world.
I walked over to where she was sitting, pressing a kiss on her forehead. “You have me now, Eryne. And I’m not going anywhere.”
It was the same words she’d said to me, and they felt like more than just that. The words felt like a vow, something sacred between us.
She leaned forward, her lips pressing to my biceps, wrapping her arms around me into a hug. I rubbed her back, holding her tight against my body, burying my nose in her hair and inhaling her sweet, sugary scent.
Hugging Eryne felt like coming home. Like I was where I was supposed to be. Like everything was exactly as fate had meant for it to be. I had no idea where this road would take us, but it didn’t matter. No matter what the fates had in store for me and the redheaded witch they had chosen for me, I couldn’t deny how right it all felt.
Sliding my hands under her ass, I lifted her up from the counter, keeping her wrapped around my body as I carried her over to the bathtub before lowering both of us into the warm water.
Eryne let out a contented sigh, nuzzling her face into my neck as we stretched out in the tub, neither of us bothering to let go of the other.
I wanted to clean her up, but that would wait for later.
