Page 27 of Deception

“You,” he whispered, smoothing her hair back from her face.

His gaze traveled down her body, heating her every inch of the way. His lips cracked open when he focused on her breasts, as if he hadn’t already spent long, luscious minutes worshiping them, and her nipples peaked all over again.

“Admiring you,” he whispered.

She lifted her hips off the table and pushed against him, demanding more. “I need you inside me. I need you so much.”

His expression went from wondrous to wicked as he wrapped his huge hands around her hips, took a deep breath—

She took a deep breath, too.

—and pushed into her with one smooth thrust.

“Yes,” she cried at the sweet burn inside. The stretch, the perfect balance of pleasure and pain. “Drew.”

He pulled back an inch then slid in two. Back one, in two, moving in gradual steps that echoed his manner of approaching her in the café. Carefully. Slowly, as if savoring the sensation.

He set into a steady rhythm, and the need to speed into another high receded. Maybe she should savor, too. She’d been in such a rush, but suddenly, all she wanted was to rock with him for another hour or two. She adjusted the angle of her heels against his ass, and he followed her cue, pulling her whole body closer while thrusting deeper still.

Although her eyes were closed, soft white light filled her vision. Heaven. She was on her way to heaven.

Drew leaned over her body, and his heavy breaths whooshed past her ears. She could picture the puffs of condensation in the cold winter air, though all she felt was heat. Every inch of her, on fire for him.

“Drew,” she murmured. “Deeper.”

He was already deeper than she’d ever had a man before, and it burned, but still, she needed more. He needed more, too. She spread her knees wider, and he lifted them over his shoulders, finding the perfect angle.

“Oh, yes.” It was all she could do not to scream the words over and over now that Drew had picked up speed.

Deeper. Harder,her wolf begged.Want every inch of my mate.

The next time he pumped, she clenched down with her inner muscles, slowing his penetration to a delicious crawl.

He groaned against her neck, and she cracked into a grin.

“Like that?” she teased.

“Love that,” he said in a rough, gritty voice.

“So do it again.”

He pushed up on his elbows.Anything you desire.

She stared. Was that his bear she’d heard?

Drew’s eyes glowed with sheer animal power. A look she’d never seen on her quiet, reserved bear before. A look she wouldn’t mind unleashing a little more often.

Like, for a lifetime,her wolf murmured.

She spread her hands across the thick muscles of his ass and nodded.

“Oh!” she cried when he hammered to a spot he hadn’t touched before.

“Okay?” he asked through his next groan.

Was he kidding? “Okay is not the word.”

He liked that. She could tell from the sparks in his eyes, the upward curl at the corners of his mouth. And damn, did she love this version of her bear. Well, she loved both versions, but this side of him was wilder. Naughtier. More demanding. She’d have to get him hot and naked more often.
