It's a command, and despite the weakness in his voice, I can see his inner strength coming through. I lie on the ground beside him and gently nudge him to turn his head until we're looking at each other. His face looks a little healthier now, even though we haven't even started. Good. I could do with him being a bit more energetic. More incontrol.
I kiss him, placing my lips on his, hoping that he'll respond. They're chapped and colder than before, but he smells like himself. I take a deep breath. Now I know what Alis was talking about. His scent fills my nose and I open my mouth in response, covering his, sucking on his bottom lip. He groans and finally returns the kiss in the same rough, claiming way asbefore.
He puts an arm around me and pulls me closer until our bodies are pressed together, my warmth meeting his coldness. I hope he's getting warmer soon, this can't be a healthy temperature. The fire is still burning strongly and I'm almost sweaty, so he really shouldn't be this cold. Maybe some more kissing will do thetrick.
I playfully nudge him with my tongue and he responds in kind until we're dancing together. Never leaving my lips, he slides up my jumper until my bra is out in the open. Only then does he end the kiss and moves back a little to look atme.
"Are you sure about this?" he asks, just as out of breath as Iam.
"Yes. Regardless of what happened, I want you. And not just because my bear is horny ashell."
I'm so glad Alis seems to be keeping her promise and isn't listeningin.
He chuckles, moves my arms up and pulls my jumper over my head. I sigh as I feel some air on my skin. So good. I was starting to boil. Not that I'm feeling any cooler, on the contrary. There's some heat pooling between my legs that aches for attention. Torben's attention,preferably.
"I'd love to do some foreplay but the bond is impatient," he groans as he lifts himself up. He looks slightly better than before and isn't swaying as much while he takes off his shoes andjeans.
And yes, he's aroused. Lots. Yummy. Drool. Did I mention that he's not wearing anything under the jeans? He's naked. Very naked. And I want to jump up and jumphim.
Without him having to say anything, I take off my own trousers and throw them aside. I'm ready for him, despite the lack of anything more than a bit ofkissing.
I spread my legs to invite him in, but he lies on his back next to me instead and nudges me to climb on top of him. A bit unsure, I do as he asks. It can't be that difficult, right? I just have to guide him to my entrance and then lower myself down and... ahhhh. He feels bigger than I remember, but last time my mind was clouded with overactive pheromones. This time, I am fully myself, taking in every sensation as I rock up and down on him. He lets me set the pace and I take full advantage of that, starting slow. I'm still getting used to his girth, but the slight pain only adds to the pleasure building deep withinme.
When I'm fully adjusted, he puts his hands on my hips and begins to take control, directing me at the pace he wants to. The rougher he gets, the healthier he looks. His eyes are turning bright blue again and his gaze locks mine in place. He’s back, my strong Torben isback.
He’s leading me closer towards my climax and judging from his groans, he’s not far away from hiseither.
Then he stops and I look at him in confusion. Is there somethingwrong?
“Isla, I need to bite you,” he whispers. I’m torn between lust and principles. Surely any self-respecting woman wouldn’t let someone drink her blood? Then I remember that I did the same to him and ignore the nagging voice inside my head. Not Alis, this time, just my ownsubconscious.
“Do it,” I moan, lying down on top of him so my neck is within reach. He’s not a vampire, but I bit him there, so maybe he wants to do thesame?
He gently kisses the nape of my neck and I shiver inanticipation.
“Ready?” he whispers hoarsely. All I can do isnod.
He thrusts into me at the same time as his teeth break my skin and my thoughts are taken over by nothing but bliss and pleasure. I can feel him gently sucking on my neck but the main sensation is him moving in me, bringing me to the edge. We fall over it together, our sweaty bodies united in onemovement.
This time, I stay conscious and get to experience it all. The elation, the force of my core contracting, the feeling of him spilling his seed within me. We stay in the same position, holding each other tight, his mouth still on my neck, licking up the trickle of blood pouring from myskin.
We are one, we aremates.
Twelve
Time to wake up.
Looks like Alis is back. I yawn, noticing I’ve got an arm around somethingwarm.
That’s your mate. Did you have fun lastnight?
I blush. We did indeed. At some point, we left the living room and its hard floor and moved to the guest bedroom. Luckily the other guys weren’t there so we had our privacy. I smile in bemusement as I remember that I was almost disappointed that it was only us two. I must have been extremelyhorny.
I should be sore, but all I can sense is warmth. Torben’s temperature has returned to normal, and mine has stayed at the high level I gained when I became… what exactly? A half-shifter?
I sit up with a start and Torben yawns besideme.
“Can I shift now?” I ask eagerly and hechuckles.
