His cock throbbed in anticipation, but he quelled the urge to take control, focusing instead on elevating Etta to new heights of pleasure as her moans grew more urgent.
Trust me,he whispered against her quivering flesh.I’ve got you.I’m going to take you there.
As he increased the tempo of his fingers and tongue, Etta’s moans grew louder, her body arching off the bed in a desperate plea for release.Anders could sense her teetering on the edge, and he knew he had the power to push her over.
With a final, skillful flick of his tongue and a powerful thrust of his fingers, he sent her careening into the abyss.
She screamed his name, her body convulsing with the force of her orgasm.
And in that moment, as the waves of ecstasy crashed over her and her cries of pleasure echoed through the room, Anders knew—without a shadow of a doubt—that he would move heaven and earth to keep her safe, to make her happy.
To show her just how much she meant to him.
CHAPTER 21
ANDERS HAD ALWAYS BEENattuned to the needs of those around him, but this…
This was something new.
Something amazing.
The tremors coursing through Etta’s body vibrated the very air around them.
As her breaths came in ragged gasps, he moved up to capture her mouth with his own, their tongues tangling in a kiss that set fire to every nerve ending in his body.
God,she breathed into his mouth, her hands clutching at his shoulders.
In this moment, everything else—the pack, her journalistic pursuits, the secrets they’d uncovered—faded away until it was just the two of them, connected by something deeper than either could articulate.
As they kissed, Anders felt Etta’s trembling begin to subside, replaced by a renewed swell of passion that slammed through her like a tidal wave.
Anders’s mind reeled as he tried to make sense of the intensity of their connection.He’d never been one to let emotions rule him, yet here he was, losing himself to the raw desire between them.
But deep down, he knew he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Now,Etta murmured against his lips.
Are you sure?This will change everything.His voice was thick with desire—but he knew that claiming her would forever bind them together, and the thought both terrified and exhilarated him.
More than anything,she said, reaching up to stroke his cheek.I need you.
Her words sent a shudder through him but were all the confirmation he needed.
His wolf howled in approval, urging him to take what was rightfully his.Yet, despite the consuming need that burned between them, he held back, wanting to ensure that she was truly ready to accept the depth of commitment that came with this.
We don’t have to rush this.If you’re not entirely certain—
Enough,she interrupted gently, her fingers curling into his hair as she silenced him with a searing kiss.I trust you.And I want you.
As the last word left her lips, something within him snapped, and the floodgates of his desire burst open.Without a word, he stripped off the shirt he’d been wearing and tossed it on the floor.
Etta’s breath hitched in anticipation, her gaze locked onto Anders’s.
Here.Let me,she whispered, her hands pushing against his shoulders, urging him to roll onto his back.
The sudden shift in power surprised him, but he couldn’t deny the thrill that coursed through his veins at the sight of her taking control.
As he had done with her earlier, she unbuttoned his pants, sliding them down his hips and off his body entirely.
