Ryland, panting now, yells at Zayne, “I need—" At that moment, Nori shifts her weight, rubbing against his swollen cock. He lowers his voice and tilts his head back even further. “Fuck, Nori!”
She sucks in a breath, trembling with desire. She pulls his ear in between her teeth and bites down just enough to elicit another growl from him. With her lips grazing his ear, she whispers, “I want you now!”
Ryland yells at Zayne, “I need at least thirty minutes; now go away!”
Zayne chuckles, shaking his head at the closed doors. “OK. OK. Just, you know, hurry up.”
Ryland lifts Nori into his arms, like she weighs nothing, and swiftly carries her to his bed.
chapter twenty-six
Ryland sits on the bed and positions Nori on his lap, straddling him. He drags her hips forward, pressing her against his fully engorged cock. “Are you certain you want to do this, Nori?”
Nori wraps her arms around his neck, sliding her fingers into his soft hair. “Ryland, I’ve wondered what it would be like to kiss you from the moment the Mate Bond flared and I first saw you.”
She runs her thumb along his bottom lip, drawing out a moan from him. “Now that we have kissed, I want more. I’m one hundred percentsure.”
“We are going to need to get you ready first,” he says breathlessly.
Ryland pulls her in for another ravenous kiss—one hand in her luxurious hair, holding her mouth on his, and the other hand gripping her ass.
Nori’s thighs clench at the tight hold he has on her. She rolls her hips around, rubbing against his hard length, creating friction where she needs it most. She throws her head back at all the sensations coursing through her body and moans, “Ryland.”
Growling, Ryland places kisses along her arched neck, licking and sucking his way down to her collarbone. When his fangs protrude, he sucks in a ragged breath and jerks his head away from her shoulder. “Give me a second, Nori.”
Whimpering at his hesitation, she looks down, startled to see two large fangs sticking out of his mouth. He hears her heartbeat quicken. Wrapping his arms around her, holding her still, he says, “It’s OK, Nori. My urge to Claim you right this second is fucking strong, but I can’t because I’ll be leaving soon.”
Nori watches his fangs slowly recede. “OK, Ryland.”
Realizing she doesn’t understand, he changes positions. He flips Nori to the bed onto her back, leaning over her on his elbow. “A few days after the Claiming, you’ll go into heat.”
He slides his hand up her stomach and under her bra,circling her nipple with one finger. He massages her whole breast in his hand, then moves back to her nipple with his fingers. “I need to be by your side at all hours of the day and night to satisfy you during the heat.”
Nori, squirming beneath his touch, can barely form words. “Right. Got it. No Claiming.”
He lifts her shirt, frees her breasts from her bra, and leans over her. “Your breasts are perfect, Nori.” With a moan, he pulls one into his mouth.
Nori arches her back at the new sensation, the muscles in her legs and belly contracting. When she grabs the back of his head, Ryland takes the opportunity to touch as much of her as possible. His fingers graze the taut muscles of her stomach, then the soft curve of her waist. He slides his hand under her leggings to her hip, stopping there while his thumb rubs up and down the crease of her leg.
He lifts his head, flicking her nipple with his tongue, making her groan, “I want...I want...”
Ryland smiles against her skin and moves his mouth to her other breast while his fingers travel under her panties. He grips her sex with his whole hand. “Mmmm. You are so wet for me, Nori.”
Ryland rolls his tongue around her nipple while he slips a finger in between her folds. Nori cries out when his finger enters her. He moves in slow circles inside her, causing her to buck her hips and moan his name.
“Is this what you want, Nori?”
She can no longer form sentences, fully engulfed in the torrent of pleasure. “Yes. But more. More!”
Ryland pulls her breast into his mouth and sucks hard. Nori is writhing beneath him as he inserts a second finger and uses his thumb to put pressure on her clit. Ryland kisses his way up to her arched neck and says, “I’m going to need you to come for me, Nori. Just let it happen.”
With a swift flick of his thumb, her orgasm races through her entire body. “Ryland!” she yells, gripping his shoulders tightly. He continues stroking the waves of her climax until she relaxes her grip on him.
Ryland leans over her with a gleam in his eyes. He slides his fingers out of her and pulls them into his mouth. “You taste divine, Nori.”
Nori has occasionally provided her own release, but this was something else entirely. She’s shocked at the intensity of her climax from Ryland’s talented fingers. Her arousal sharpens as he puts those fingers in his mouth to taste her. Her body is on fire with the anticipation of feeling him inside her.
After a gentle kiss, Ryland is up in a flash, dragging her leggings and underwear off of her. Nori smiles up at him as he pulls her to sit up and lifts her shirt over her head. When she reaches for his shirt, his muscles tense under her touch, and he grabs her hands. “No, Nori.”
