“You said we had to wait…” It was a feeble attempt to bring sanity to the emotions I was drowning in.

Levi backed me against the wall until there was nowhere left for me to run, his right hand pinning my wrists above my head. “Do I look like I want to wait? That creature put his hands on you, and all I wanted to do was rip his fucking head off.”

My breathing was ragged as he continued to stare at me, his amber eyes holding me captive. A feral creature watched me, and I was caught somewhere between arousal and fear. Slowly his head descended to mine, our breath mingling until I was captured by his energy.

“No man has the right to touch your soft skin but me.” His low husky tone sent shivers up my spine. There was possession in his voice that kindled a fire deep in my tummy.

His finger tracing the curve of my breast made my breath catch. He released my wrists from his grasp and his hands landed on my hips to haul me against the hard length of his muscular body.

Fuck it, there was only so much a girl could try to be sensible. I gave into the temptation that was driving me insane, dragging his head down to mine until I felt the pressure of his lips caressing mine. Levi groaned into my mouth, and my fingers tightened in his hair.

Levi didn’t kiss me; he consumed me like a starving man set in front of a banquet. His body formed an erotic prison where the bars were his arms and legs. I never wanted to escape the divine torment of his body pressing against mine.

Time disappeared and it could have been minutes or hours later when he stepped back. His eyes glowed softly in the darkness and they burnt a heated trail down my flesh as he surveyed me and stepped around me, his fingertips trailing over my skin. Levi growled and I froze when he prowled forward, his lips following the path of his fingers, tasting my flesh, and making me squirm. His mouth closed over my breast as his eyes met mine, and my hands trailed into his hair. His gaze told me without words that I belonged to him, and he was going to savour every second of our time together.

His canine scraped over my nipple and my mouth opened in a silent plea. He moved lower. His tongue circled by belly button and I lost the grip on my sanity. My hands found his shoulders to push him onto his back.

His wicked grin told me he approved. This was the man I’d shared all my hopes and dreams with. He was the only one who ever saw the real me. That was why his rejection in the forest had hurt so much.

I leaned down to kiss him, my hands braced on his chest, and I settled myself to straddle his lean hips.

“You’re going to end up being the ruin of me,” I whispered against his mouth.

“Baby, you ruined me years ago for any other woman. There’s only ever been you.”

The truth of his words washed over me.

My claws elongated, and I scratched down his chest, marking him as mine. Vampires were nowhere near as bulky as lycans. The ridges and valleys of his muscles felt divine under my fingertips, and they tasted better with my tongue. Levi’s unique scent was spicy with a husky undertone that made my fangs slip down through my gums to skim over his flesh.

His taste on my tongue was addictive, the tip of my fang lightly puncturing his nipple. He groaned as I lapped at his essence, his cock hardening under me. I rubbed my core over his length, relishing the friction moving between my legs. My mouth fell open, and I moved my pelvis over his.

He lifted me easily off him with his hands on my hips.

I bristled. Had he changed his mind?

He laid me down and crawled between my legs and settled himself in the cradle of my thighs, his teeth tugging on first one nipple and then the other while his tongue flicked them.

“Where were we?” he asked. His grinning face leant down to press a soft kiss on my lips.

“I think you’re about to give me an orgasm,” I whispered against his ear, licking the pulse point on his neck.

“Is that so?” He worked his way down my body, stopping every so often to nip or suck at a sensitive area. My nipples were hard and swollen, my nerve endings screaming his name in a pulsating chant that urged him downward, my hips tilting to show him where I needed him.

I’d relived my experiences with Levi so many times that the memories were ingrained in my mind. They paled in comparison to the feel of his tongue and fingers exploring me. Every time I tried to wriggle free to escape the overwhelming sensations, his muscular arm held me still until my body couldn’t take any more. Pressure built inside me—a nuclear explosion assembled by Levi. Another flick of his textured tongue against my clit, and a supernova lit behind my eyes, my back arching helplessly.

All I could do was lie here on the floor of this hidden world, nothing more than a quivering mass of muscle spasms and twitching nerve endings.

“You’re mine,” Levi said against my lips, his forehead touching mine. “You always have been.”

The proud vampire warrior in me rolled her eyes because she belonged to no one. The woman inside me wrapped her legs around Levi’s strength. I didn’t want him; I needed him. There was a difference, I realized. We were two parts of a strange cosmic whole, neither complete without the other.

My hands cupped his face.

“Only yours,” I agreed.

Both of us had been left shaken by our encounter with that powerful creature. Levi’s wolf prowling so close to the surface, and his sudden need for contact said that louder than words. Right now, this was about reconnecting at all levels, proving we were alive and that nothing could come between us.

His growl rippled down my skin all the way to the juncture of my thighs, where the head of his cock sat at my entrance. His body was rigid with control, and the amber glow in his eyes told me he was trying to hold his wolf at bay.
