“Okay?”he growls against my neck as he notches himself at my entrance. He pulls back to meet my eyes, waiting.

“I’ve never been surer of anything in my life.” I grip the back of his arms, encouraging him forward.

His hardness eases into my wetness. The pressure and fullness make me gasp. He stills above me.“Okay?”

“Don’t you dare stop.” His fingers fist the sheets as he slowly pumps in and out, giving more of himself each time.

I resist meeting his lips, fisting his hair and moaning into his ear. I want him to hear it, hear what he does to me. He licks my neck as if asking for permission.

“Yes,” I gasp. “Bite me. I’m yours.”

His nails dig into my back as he draws me closer. His teeth breach my skin, and he growls against my throat. Pleasure rips through me at the feeling of his fangs notched into me. Fullness like I’ve never felt filling me in places I never dreamed. Renall’s pace quickens, his claws extend, shredding into the bed until his release finds him. Watching my carefully calculated wolf come undone at my words also takes me over that peak.

Retracting his fangs and pulling back, he licks the blood off his lips. His eyes are glowing in the dark like a cat caught in a flashlight’s beam.

“Yours are too,” he says as if reading my thoughts.

The bond between us is solidified and strong.

“My mate,” he whispers in awe. Pressure builds again as he grows hard inside of me.

“You weren’t kidding that this is going to be the longest night,” I tease, rocking against him, desperate for more friction.

Pumping slowly, he says, “The whole cave will know you are mine by morning.”

“And you are mine. Lie on the bed, my mate, it’s time for me to please you.”

ChapterForty

RENALL

Istruggle to keep my claws at bay as Autumn swivels her hips on top of me. I don’t think she would mind the pain, but we have all night for that … all our lives, actually. She moans again, her lip tucked under her teeth like she’s trying to hide her pleasure from me. No, that will not do. I nip at her nipple. She gasps, which ends in a moan as she grips the headboard, using it as support as she grinds harder on me. The wetness between us is incredible.

Her skin glows with the power of the moon. Her sparkling eyes molten honey. She chose me. She is finally my Guardian, my mate.

“Oh Gods, Renall,” she whimpers.

I growl in response, meeting her thrusts until we both reach our peak. Her forehead scrunches up before her mouth drops open and we’re both panting for air. She collapses on top of me. Trailing my warm fingers down her spine, she shivers against my gentle touch. I hold her, eyes closed, relishing in her scent of contentment and arousal and what I can now confidently call love. Autumn’s love for me.

“My legs are like Jell-O. I’m going to have to start doing some squats or stairs or something.”

I have no idea what she’s talking about, but I sense her humor.

She slides off me. I slip out of her, already missing the feeling of being buried inside her. My mate. Mine.

We fall back facing the ceiling after another amazing orgasm, catching our breath when we both notice it. Her breath hitches in her throat.

“Is that–” she gasps. “Did I?”

A blue Moon Flower is in full bloom over our bed. It glows brighter than the moon rocks along the cave wall.

“How is that possible? I thought the only one was over Luna Lake.”

I know exactly how it’s possible, I have suspected for a while now, but there was no explaining if she didn’t want to stay. I also know what it would mean for the cave if I were correct. I face her, my mate, and kiss her deeply. One more secret between us, at least until tomorrow. It’s better she sees for herself.

“I know you’re deflecting Renall, I can feel it. You’re lucky you’re so fuckable right now, or I’d make you spill your guts.”

“Turn around,” I order, nipping her ear as I pull away. “And get on your knees.”
