“Lily,” Kai groaned, his strong hands clasping me around the middle. He lifted me in the air, then placed me on my back before moving on top, his cock poised at my entrance. His gaze sought mine. “Now,” he growled, as he pushed his cock into me a bare inch.
My brain disintegrated the instant Kai entered me. He was thick and so big, and I had to widen my legs to take him. I watched Kai strain to remain in control, slowly moving in and out of me until my body adjusted to his intimate invasion. When he reached between our bodies and played with my clitoris, I closed my eyes once more, luxuriating in Kai’s masterful touch.

Kai
My mate was a luscious mix of sweet innocent and wild lioness. Her tight body surrounded my cock, milking it and sending me into oblivion. Her long flame-red hair fanned out around her body. She was a woman of natural beauty. I sniffed the air, taking in Lily’s erotic scent, allowing the alluring spice to fill me. I was the only one with the privilege to tease that addicting smell from her. My animalistic nature practically salivated with predatory delight.
I braced myself on my elbows on either side of her delicate body, and pushed into her faster, harder. MyYucilonfought for dominance inside me. I dipped my head and kissed her lips. So soft and pliable. Her mouth had taken me to the very edge when she’d sucked my cock.
Her legs moved to wrap around my waist, anchoring me to her. My fingers played with her clit while my dick thrust in and out of her tight heat. Lily’s soft curves fit me the way no other woman’s had. She was made for me to love. Mine. No other would ever have her this way. A growl escaped my throat as I imagined her leaving me. My teeth scraped over her sensitized nipples and I sucked one turgid peak into my mouth, longing to bite into her again, to somehow strengthen our bond. Lily was notYucilon. Could she walk away? For me it would be torture. The separation would drive me mad. The not knowing pushed me to take her deeper. My hips thrusting against her. Lily shouted my name as another orgasm overtook her. I let my claws extend, then slammed them into the mattress on either side of her body, pinning her in place. Her name escaped with a ragged groan.
My arms became steel bands beside her. A haze of lust threatened to envelop me. I fought my way through it, slowly bringing my mind back from that black place.
Lily.
My mate.
I covered one round breast with my mouth, sucking on her nipple, filling my mind with her smile, her expressive green eyes. My breathing calmed and my claws retracted. I lifted my head and stared down at her. “My love,” I whispered. Just as Lily’s hands caressed their way down my shoulders and over to my chest, her soft palm resting directly over my heart, I lost it. I was thrown headfirst into the most intense orgasm of my life. Nothing could compare to making love to my Lily. I emptied my seed deep inside the clutch of her body, then teased her clit and watched in fascination as she found another climax.
I waited precious moments until she came back down to earth before I kissed her, lingering at her mouth, tasting her heavy breaths and licking at her plump lower lip. I littered her cheeks and chin with kisses, then journeyed south to her neck where I found the wild beat of her pulse. I suckled her there, and knew a sense of possessive satisfaction when Lily moaned and arched against me.
I gently drew my mouth off her, then stared down at her closed eyes and the delicate smile on her face. The feeling that we weren’t merely satisfying a physical need but also quenching the insatiable thirst of two souls destined for each other overcame me. This was what I’d been missing.
“That was ... intense,” she breathed out, an upward tilt to her lips.
“Forgive me,” I gritted out. “I got a little out of hand.”
She lifted her hand and caressed my cheek. “It’s theYucilon, right?”
I nodded. “I expected it to be powerful, but the force of our bonding took me off guard.”
“I love you, Kai,” she murmured. “And I loved our bonding. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
My heart filled with the sincerity of her words. When I would’ve offered the words back to her, something caught my eye. “Look at your body.”
She glanced down and her gaze widened. “They’re nearly gone! Oh, my God, Kai,” she rushed out. “How?”
I grinned. Pleased that I could take her pain away. Happy that I could erase the physical evidence of her abuse. “It’s myYucilonblood. Remember?”
“Oh, yeah.” She sighed. “Wow, I didn’t realize.” She tilted her head, then lifted her hand, staring at it. “I think I’d enjoy being able to shift. To run through the forest with you.”
The thought sent my heart racing. “I’d enjoy that too.”
“Wait.” She pushed me off, then lifted herself to a seated position and crossed her legs in front of her. “Will you resent me if I can’t shift? If I can be ... everything you want me to be?”
“Never,” I cupped her chin in a firm hold. “You already are everything to me.”
Lily’s fear simmered just below the surface, her brows furrowed as she regarded me with uncertainty. “You’re sure?” she asked, a note of hope slipping through.
I curled my fingers around hers. “I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life,” I vowed, meaning the words.
Lily’s gaze softened as she met my eyes, a note of vulnerability reflected in her expression. “I just wish I knew what might happen next. If I’ll be able to shift or not. It’s scary not having answers.”
My thumb brushed over the back of her hand in a gentle caress. She exhaled, shoulders loosening as the tightness in her posture unraveled. The worry in her eyes softened, giving way to something warmer—something that held me captive. “We’ll handle it. Together.”
She sighed, “Together.”
