Page 102 of Rejecting his Mate

I want to correct him, tell him I’m not a wolf, but at this moment, I don’t care what he calls me. His fingers are deep inside me, giving me a feeling of fullness, but I need more.

I want more.

Passion and need throb through me as I skim my fingers over his chest.

“I want you to kiss me,” I tell him. I don’t like how vulnerable it makes me feel, considering the last time we were together like this, but it feels different.

It is different.

I feel more connected to Cade than I ever did to Dalton. I don’t know how to explain it, but Cade feels like mine, and I want to be his.

Emboldened by that thought, I grip his shoulders and reach up to his mouth. He meets me halfway, crashing his lips to mine. The kiss is hard and heavy, filled with a desperation that I didn’t realize either of us was feeling.

He walks me back until my back hits the counter, and then he lifts me onto it.That puts me at a better height to kiss him, but that’s not what Cade has in mind. He stands between my parted thighs and spreads them.

“Take them off,” he gestures to my panties.

I lift my ass off the counter and slide them off my body. I should feel exposed, but I’m too focused on what he’s going to do to me.

Gripping my thighs, Cade drops to his knees in front of me and ducks down. Slowly and purposefully, he flattens his tongue against my pussy. Everything down there tingles and pulses. My breath hitches, sounding strange to my ears.

His tongue swirls around my clit, and my body jerks at the feeling. I’m beyond rational thought as I grip his hair, holding him in place, but I don’t think he plans on going anywhere.

I gasp with each dance around that sensitive bundle of nerves. My chest hurts in this position, but I don’t care. The bite of pain only heightens everything else.

He licks me from top to bottom, making me writhe beneath him. “Cade…”

As he holds me in place with his hands on my thighs, I take everything he’s giving.

A feeling builds deep within me, a delicious throbbing of pleasure growing stronger with every swipe of his tongue. I grip his hair tighter, trying to chase that feeling until it explodes through me.

At least that is how it feels.

Everything pulses and contracts savagely, my body hesitating between wanting more and feeling too much.

I bend over, ignoring the pull on my chest as I suck in a breath. After a final lick of my pussy, Cade straightens, and his lips glisten with my wetness. I don’t know why, but that makes my pussy throb again.

Am I supposed to thank him for licking my pussy?

I’ve never done this before.

I might have been mated to Dalton, but we were never together like that. I probably should have mentioned to Cade before now that I have no idea what I’m doing, but I didn’t expect him to do—that to me.

I give him a sated smile as he slides me off the counter, pressing his mouth to mine. I can taste myself on his lips, and that feels forbidden.

“The bath water’s going to go cold,” he says.

I want to tell him I don't care, but I take his offered hand and follow him into the bathroom.

Chapter 24

Cade

Halle has this bewildered, dreamy look on her face when I help her into the bathtub. The water sloshes around the sides as she lowers herself into it. There’s a bruise on her side, a purple stain that makes me want to find Dalton and tear his fucking head off.

I meant what I told her. He never deserved her, and I’m going to make sure he never has her again. It is the one thing my wolf and I both agree on.

He wants to claim her.
