He chuckles and comes to kiss between my eyebrows gently. “Welcome to my world, my Love.”

So, this is what he feels, too? Who is he jealous of, then? I don’t want to think about it. I just want to keep Damian as close as possible.

“Be jealous, then,” I say. “If you are jealous, I’ll know you still love me as much.”

“I hope you’ll remember saying that next time—”

Before he can finish his sentence, I take him between my hands and kiss him fiercely. I am still a bit clumsy and hesitant, but I let my emotions guide me.

I just want him. I don’t care about a bond, or anything else. This is just me, and the man I fell in love with. We keep kissing intensely, and I put my arms around his neck. My heart is beating so fast, I feel like I could faint any second. Damian’s grip around me tightens, and I know this is all too real. He kisses me frantically, and I join him. I want him, I want Damian so badly, I feel like I’ve been missing him my whole life, like a thirst only he can quench. Only him. Only Damian.

He interrupts our kiss, and we are still both out of breath. Taking my face between his hands, he looks into my eyes, his silver irises mesmerizing me. I know what he is looking for: an answer, my consent. He wants to be sure. But I am sure. I really do want this, I want him. I put my fingers through his jet-black hair, observing my mate. Gosh, this man is really too handsome... I gently come back to him, pressing my lips against his once again, giving him what he wants.

The next second, I feel his arms under me, and I’m carried away. His hands are firm, but his caresses are more rushed, a bit hastier. I don’t hold back, either. I caress his neck, any part of his back I can reach, and I help him get out of his shirt. He carries me like I don’t weigh anything and takes me to the bedroom before I even realize it.

My legs wrapped around his waist, I’m not ready to let go until I feel the satin sheets under me. We keep kissing like crazy, and I hear my own heartbeat in my ears. I hear Damian, too, whispering my name endlessly as his lips leave mine to go down my neck.

“Nora, Nora...”

I gasp and open my eyes, trying to catch my breath. Damian halts a second, looking at me and panting. Oh, Moon Goddess, his eyes are driving me crazy. I’m becoming someone else, and that girl is eager for more. The silver diamonds are shining with lust, too. Hungry like a wolf. I feel the last strings of my reserve snapping. I’m half-wolf and half-woman, striving for my mate, following my instincts and desire. My whole body is burning with wildfire, but gosh, I like it.

Damian is half-naked on top of me, and not holding back his desire either. He puts his head in my neck, his hand under my top, and keeps whispering words to drive me crazy between the kisses.

“Nora... Nora, I want you so bad...”

“Damian...”

He helps me take off my shirt, and I suddenly blush when his eyes fall on my bra. I’m grateful because Tonia got me something actually decent and a bit sexy, but...

“What is it?”

I blush even more because it seems so stupid to be covering my chest at this moment, but Damian is waiting forme. I try to avoid his eyes to confess. “Because... they’re... small...”

It takes him a second to understand, and he chuckles. This is not funny! Now that my mate is about to see it all, I’m embarrassed at my small chest. But Damian ignores me and mercilessly pushes my hands away to see them.

“Nora, you’re so cute...”

Cute? I don’t want to be cute; I wish I was more of the sexy type! Why did I have to be on the petite side? I barely have any curves! But obviously, Damian doesn’t care one bit. He keeps exploring my body, his fingers reaching everywhere. I feel the passion firing up inside again, and my cheeks become redder again when he takes off my skirt. I only have my panties left under him.

Damian stares at me, one hand on my leg and the other one supporting him. I love the way he is looking at me, making me feel beautiful. But this is a bit embarrassing, too, so I grab his face to resume our kissing, while my other hand goes to unbuckle his pants. I shouldn’t be the only one staying naked, right?

We sit up on the bed, and Damian helps me. While he is getting out of his pants, I kiss his torso. I have seen him half-naked a lot of times already, but I never get enough of it. How does he achieve this Greek-sculpture body? So muscular, too. I silently promise myself to work more diligently on my diet and workout from now on.

I hear him exhale loudly under my kisses, and his fingers run over my back, grabbing my hair gently. He finally gets out of his jeans and takes me into his arms.

I know he is deliberately going slow for me. I feel my mate tensed up by desire, yet his hands are gentle. We go back to lying down next to each other. His lips go for my neck once again, his hand caresses my thighs. He is looking out for myreaction, trying to see any flaw, anything that might suggest a refusal from me. But Moon Goddess, I’ve never felt so ready. I undulate slowly, inviting him to explore more of my body. I want him to touch me more! Damian understands, and something lights up in his eyes. His hand slides all the way to my last piece of cloth, and I gasp as his fingers start playing underneath. Oh, gosh, this is... The fire seems to concentrate on this location while he keeps this going. He wants me fully ready, and I hear my own breathing changing minute after minute. I struggle to keep up with Damian’s deep kiss. I want more, I want more of this, but he suddenly stops.

Damian stands on the side of the bed, staring at me. Those silver eyes make me feel so many things... His stare is so intense, I start burning with excitation again. He doesn’t stop fixating on me while he takes off his boxers, and his hand reaches out for something from his drawer. When he comes back to the bed, he is entirely naked, and I feel him against me. All of his warmth and skin pressed on mine makes me crazy, and I grab him for a new long kiss.

I want him, I want my mate... I struggle to take off my panties until I’m finally naked, too, under him. Damian interrupts our kiss to stare at me once more, and I put my hands around his neck, keeping his silver eyes and breathless lips close to me. I’m panting, burning with desire. I don’t know what happened to the previous Nora, but this one is perfectly synched with her wolf and ready. I hear the sound of paper being torn, and Damian takes my hand, kissing its palm.

“I love you, Nora, I love you so much...”

“I love you, too...So bad...”

He smiles, kissing my cheek. “So bad?” He repeats with a smile

“Mm...”
