A feline smile spread across her perfect face.
“Does my mate want it rough?” she asked.
All I could do was swallow hard in answer.
This time, she pumped me harder, circling her thumb over the slick tip. I thrust in her hand, my mind filling with only her name.
I was close but not yet ready.
I edged her down, kissed her softly, and interlaced my fingers with hers as I let myself cool down a little.
Her other hand wrapped around my cock again, this time guiding it toward her entrance.
“When you come,” she said, breathless, “I want you to bite me.”
My balls tightened, and I fought back the urge to explode on top of her stomach and chest.
“Do you know what that means?” I managed to ask.
Although she’d already said she wanted to accept our bond, I wanted to make sure she really understood.
She leaned up and licked the length of one of my elongated canines. I trembled.
“It means I am yours, and you are mine—our souls bound together for all eternity.” The smile she gifted me made my heart stutter. “I want your teeth on me, my mate.”
She rubbed herself against the tip of my cock. My lips crashed against hers. With our tongues tangled, I slipped inside her slowly so she could get accustomed to my width.
She gasped, her heart beating frantically as she started to move beneath me. My own heart thundered in response.
I kept the pace slow, unhurried for this to end, but for my body to show her how much I loved her. Moved my hips so that I nearly slid out of her before I thrust back in. Teddy clawed at my back, my ass, pushing me into her harder. I obliged, driving myself deeply into her.
She screamed my name, and I captured it with a kiss, drowning out her shout so the others in the house couldn’t hear her. She twined her arm around my neck as her core tightened around me.
I moved her hair to the side, my canines lengthened. My body shuddered as my teeth broke the tender surface of her skin. I waited a few beats to see if she’d pull away, if she still wanted this bond. Instead, she gripped the back of my head and pulled me closer with whispered pleas of my name. It filled me in a way I hadn’t imagined, and I could no longer fight the way my magic sought out hers. A thread of peach magic spread from her to me, meeting and intertwining withmy own magic. I met her magic with my own silver thread and braided our essence together. Binding us, as she’d said, for all of eternity.
Time stilled, and all I saw, all I felt was Teddy. The first time I’d seen her in my mind’s eye, never believing I’d ever get to be with her. The first time she’d said my name. The way I sometimes caught her looking at me. It was all there. Every detail I could never forget.
All the while, my life, all 127 years flashed before me. Every moment condensed to this one beat of eternity, where Teddy and I were one. It was everything. Emotion swelled inside me, and I cried out her name as my magic stretched and grew in ways I hadn’t known possible.
She bucked again, squeezing my cock as we both rode our joint orgasm. Rode and rode until I lay on top of her, my cock still twitching and spilling.
Without warning, she dug her nails into my chest, making a deep enough cut to draw blood. She leaned up, her tongue tentatively swiping over the blood that dripped right above my heart. She shuddered at the first taste before her tongue lapped at the blood more greedily.
Her moan brought out my own, my cock growing harder. I wanted her again. Needed her surrounding me while I rode her deeper.
Guardians, this female. My mate.
When she lay back down, I leaned onto her. Her fingers ran over the back of my neck, through my hair, and when she kissed me, it was slow and thorough, and I could taste my blood still on her tongue. I pressed my forehead to hers, only dropping my head to her chest when she trailed her fingers down my back.
“That was. . .”
More. So much more than I could’ve expected.
I nipped her chin and huffed out a laugh. “Yeah.”
I trailed kiss after kiss over her chin to her throat, where I licked the twin bite marks until they healed and disappeared. She arched, offering her throat to me again.
Someone knocked on the other side of the wall closest to the bed. Eyes wide, we both stared at the wall, Teddy covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.
