“Anything,” he murmured. “Everything.”
He lowered her onto the mattress, following her down, his body pressing her into the soft blankets. She moaned, arching up to meet him. He braced himself on his elbows, framing her face with his hands.
“Tell me what you want, my mate.”
“You,” she said, her voice ragged with desire. “I want you, Korrin. All of you.”
He growled, a low, primal sound that sent a bolt of pleasure through her. “You have me. Forever.”
She kissed him again, the taste of him sending a surge of heat through her body. His hands were everywhere, touching, caressing, driving her mad with need. She could feel his claws extend and retract as his control slipped, the sensation thrilling and dangerous.
Her own hands were just as eager, sliding beneath his shirt to explore the hard planes of his chest and abdomen. His muscles tensed beneath her touch, and his kisses grew more insistent, his fangs grazing her lips.
“Tessa,” he murmured, his voice strained. “Are you sure?”
“More than anything.”
He pulled back slightly, his gaze locking with hers. The hunger in his eyes sent a shiver through her.
“I’ve waited so long for you,” he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. “You’re all I’ve ever wanted.”
She smiled up at him, her heart full. “Then take me, Korrin. Make me yours.”
He growled, the sound feral and possessive. “Always.”
His hands made quick work of their clothing, and soon they were both naked, skin against skin. She gasped as his cock brushed against her core, hot and heavy. She rocked her hips, craving more friction.
“Please,” she begged. “I need you.”
He groaned as his cock lodged against her entrance, and his hips jerked forward, the thick head starting to stretch her open. His eyes fluttered closed. “Tessa. Gods, you feel so good.”
“So do you,” she panted, her nails digging into his back. “More, Korrin. I need more.”
“As my mate commands,” he growled, slowly pushing deeper.
Despite her willingness he had to work his way into her, the overwhelming stretch almost too much to bear, and they wereboth panting by the time he was fully lodged. He paused to let her adjust, his big body taut with strain, but she didn’t want to wait.
She wiggled impatiently, and he began to move, thrusting slowly, drawing out the pleasure. Each stroke sent sparks of ecstasy through her, and she moaned, arching her back. She felt his claws prick her skin, but the slight sting only heightened her desire. She writhed beneath him, meeting his every thrust, lost in the pleasure of his body against hers.
“Tessa,” he groaned, his voice raw. “You’re mine. Mine forever.”
“Yours,” she breathed, her climax building with each movement.
His fangs scraped her neck, and she tilted her head to allow him better access. His mouth closed over her neck and then he bit down, pushing her over the edge. She cried out, her body clenching around him as her release washed over her. Stars danced before her eyes as wave after wave of ecstasy surged through her, until she was trembling with pleasure.
“Mine,” he growled, his pace increasing. “My mate. My love.”
She felt him go rigid, his cock pulsing inside her as his knot expanded, locking them together. The sudden rush of sensation sent her straight into another climax, and she clung to him, her body quivering with pleasure.
“Yours,” she managed, her voice ragged. “Always.”
His shoulders slumped, and he nuzzled her neck, sending little shivers of pleasure down her spine each time he brushed the mating mark. She felt a sense of calm settle over her, a rightness she’d never known before. She was home, here in his arms, and she knew she would never want to be anywhere else.
“I love you,” she murmured, trailing her fingers along his spine.
He raised his head, his eyes glowing gold. “I love you too. I’m the luckiest beast in the universe.”
She grinned up at him, so happy she felt like she was floating.
