His fingers disappeared, leaving me on the verge of release and frustrated. I opened my mouth to complain, but snapped it closed when the head of his cock pressed against my entrance.

“Are you ready?” His voice was husky.

“I’ve been ready.” I narrowed my eyes. “You’re the one who keeps stalling.”

Macarius shifted forward, filling me until I was sure I couldn’t take another inch. But thanks to my rabbit shifter anatomy, my body had been designed to adjust itself for breeding. As he continued to bury himself deeper, my tight channel warmed, stretching and melding itself to accommodate his erection.

“Your body fits around me like a glove, like you were made for me.” Sweat beaded Macarius’s brow.

He slowly pulled his hips back and then rocked forward. Neither of us spoke as his pace grew faster and harder with each thrust.

His mouth placed kisses across my skin, and his fingers explored every inch of my body he could access without breaking his rhythm. All the while, Macarius watched my face, searching for signs of discomfort and hints at what I enjoyed.

I’d believed sex was just sex, and how my matched felt about me hadn’t changed the basics of the act. But I’d been very, very wrong. Being with Macarius was like experiencing it for the first time.

I couldn’t hide my smile as I thought about how things might be if I survived to my next heat. He was going to lose it when the heat turned me into living candy.

When I’d left my burrow, I hadn’t expected to have sex again. But now I found myself hoping I survived long enough to experience a heat with my wolf—or wolves.

How strange that rabbit females dreaded their heat and the side effects that came with it, but I was looking forward to watching how the wolves reacted to the changes that were meant to make a female rabbit irresistible to her mates.

The pain of separation had dulled to the point I couldn’t feel it, and my inner beast was very eager to mate with this man. Again and again.

Those two things made me question what I’d been taught by the elders. Maybe there could be a future for me far away from the burrows and the men I’d been matched with.

Wrapping my arms around Macarius’s neck, I clung to him as a tiny seedling of hope took root in my chest. Even if my rabbit couldn’t claim him and complete the mate bond, this man was mine.

On impulse, I darted out my tongue and licked his chest.

Macarius leaned his head back to study my face, but still continued to stroke himself inside me, pushing us toward our climax. “What was that?”

My first instinct was to avert my gaze, but that was the old me. Instead, I grinned at him. “I licked you, so now you’re mine and I’m keeping you.”

“Is that so?” Amusement shimmered in his golden eyes.

I brushed the back of my fingers over his short beard. “Yes. That’s the way these things work.”

Macarius stilled and caught my bottom lip between his teeth. “Keep me forever.”

“I plan to.” Kissing his mouth, I pulled back and scowled. “Although I might change my mind if you keep stalling.”

He didn’t say a word, but flipped our positions so that I was on top and he was beneath me. His erection was buried deep inside me, its heat branding my insides.

I’d never ridden on top of a man, and when I shifted my hips against him for the first time, I moaned in ecstasy. This position provided friction and caused his length to stroke me in amazing new ways.

“Now who’s stalling?” Macarius teased.

His hands once again gripped my hips, and he began to rock me against him. As he moved faster, my climax built at an alarming pace.

My muscles clenched around him. Macarius responded with a growl and thrust his hips up against me.

“Macarius,” I moaned his name as stars sparkled in my vision. “I’m going to?—”

His left hand left my hip, and he rubbed his thumb against my clit. It pushed me over the edge and I screamed his name as my orgasm made it impossible to think, see or even breathe. All I could do was ride the endless waves of pleasure.

With each aftershock, my muscles tightened around his cock.

“HADES!” Macarius gasped. “What is happening?”
