I then made my way down her body, licking and sucking and kissing and just getting lost in the feeling of safety, warmth, and love, and I hoped my touch was helping her feel that way too. I gently kissed the scars on her belly and they no longer made me angry. Instead, they made me proud of my savage warrior.

Then, I could feel her pleasure in my mouth, and she soon pulled me up to her face and said a single word:please. I took it as an order instead of a plea, and I obeyed. I didn’t know if it was the fact that we were mates who had been apart for months, or that it was my first time sharing my body with someone, or that I was floating on the cloud of blissful exhaustion that felt like a dream, but as we moaned into each other’s mouths all I could think wasI would never be the same again, not after having fused my soul with hers during this experience.

As I felt myself approaching climax, I held her tighter and licked her soft, white neck before sinking my teeth into it. She shattered in my arms immediately, her clenches triggering my own release, and I could feel and taste and see with my eyes closed everything that Regina was feeling, and everything that she was. My mate’s soul was the most beautiful thing I had the honor of witnessing in my entire life. My savage female didn’t leave me waiting for long - she immediately marked me back and I could hear her gasp softly before we both fell back on the bed, sated and beyond exhausted.

I woke up lying on my stomach, with no idea of how much time had passed, and found Regina sitting next to me on her side of the bed, journaling.

“Good morning,” I said hoarsely, and she smiled at me. My heart wanted to leap out of my chest.

“Good morning. Did you sleep well?”

“I did,” I said and rolled over to her to put my head on her lap. “What time is it?”

“Just before noon, I think.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah, you were pretty tired last night.”

“I hope - ” I cleared my throat. “I hope that didn’t negatively affect the experience for you.”

I was suddenly suffocating under the weight of a fear I didn’t even know I had.

“David – I've never ever experienced anything like last night. In fact, I’ve been trying all morning to put it into words somehow,hence the journal,” she held it up to show me. “But I’m failing because it was beyond words.”

I could feel her utter honesty through our bond. Together with her radiant love and affection for me, which was laced with a hint of lust whenever she looked at me.

“I thought that was just me. I felt like I could, I don’t know, taste your feelings.”

“Oh my God, that’s exactly what it felt like! I loved it, and I can’t wait to see what else we might discover together.”

She didn’t have to wait long. I lifted my head and kissed her gently, and she responded immediately by deepening the kiss and moaning softly. I was on fire from that sound alone. I sat up and dragged her onto my lap. We were both still naked from last night, so our cores instantly connected, and I couldn’t believe how good she felt against my erection. She was grinding on it gently and I was moaning helplessly, which seemed to spur her on.

“I want you inside me, now,” she ordered in that husky voice that seemed to be reserved for arousal.

“Yes, ma’am. Your mate can’t last very long yet,” I warned her, “but he can do it often, so be patient with me.”

“I don’t think I’ll last much longer either,” she said as she lowered herself onto my length and we both hissed as she completely engulfed it.

“You feel so good, Gina, fuck,” I said against her breast as she rode me. “Say my name, love, say it,” I begged.

“David,” she moaned, “yes, keep doing that, oh I love you, I love you, yes, oh -”

I took her mouth in mine, trying to eat and swallow and forever keep all the words and sounds of encouragement shewas making, and less than two minutes later, we both climaxed together.

“Well, that was what they call short but sweet,” I grinned at her and she gave me a lazy grin back as she tried getting off of me. “Stay where you are, love, I’m not done yet.”

Some two hours later, we were brought lunch and we reluctantly got dressed to let Patty into the room without scandalizing her.

“I like that you’re wearing my shirt,” I told her as we sat down at the small table in the corner of the room.

“Yeah, sleeping in your stuff helped calm my wolf while you were gone. And I kind of lost my pajamas anyways, so it all worked out.”

“Well. The pajamas – I took them before I left,” I admitted, only half-embarrassed, and she laughed.

“I can’t believe you! You know I would have given you any piece of clothing you wanted if you had asked. I can’t believe I didn’t notice you’d been in my room, you sneak. You know what, that’s actually funny,” she got this glint in her eye, “that's actually a mating custom in my mother’s pack, the male has to steal an item of clothing from the female’s room without her noticing. Isn’t that a funny coincidence?”

“I wouldn’t call it funny. Or a coincidence.”
