“You still want me to claim you even knowing the truth about me?” I knew it was stupid to ask this when the two of us had become so weak because I hadn’t done it. But I needed to hear her answer, and to confirm that she meant it.
In response, she pressed featherlight kisses over my forehead, down my temple, over my chin, and finally onto my lips. Then she kissed me again more firmly, lingering there. It was tender, sweet, and reminded me of everything I loved most about my mate: her kindness, her gentleness, and her determination. When she pulled away, I moaned in protest, a small sound I couldn’t have stopped even if I’d wanted to.
She giggled, and it made my heart soar. “It doesn’t matter to me where you came from, Night. The man I know is fierce and wonderful and gallant—andmine.” She kissed me again, and this time there was real heat behind it. “All I want to do is make it official,” she whispered against my lips.

NIGHT
Her name was a sigh on my lips as I pushed her onto her back. I hovered over her body, taking in her soft smile, her flushed cheeks, and her bright eyes the color of blue steel. “Are you sure?” I asked. “You’ll tell me if your injuries start to hurt?”
She pushed herself up onto her elbows and ran her tongue from my collarbone to my neck, where my pulse beat hardest. “I’m more than ready, Night,” she said, her breath cooling the spot she’d licked, sending shivers down my spine. “I’ve waited too long already.”
Well, I didn’t need to be told twice.
I caught her mouth again, and we fell to the bed together. Her legs spread open beneath me, and the wonderful, intoxicating scent of her wafted between us, making my wolf and I purr with desire. Careful to avoid the Alpha wound, I trailed kisses from her mouth, over her throat and down to her soft, round breasts, lapping at one of the hardened, pink peaks.
“Night,” she moaned as I pulled one into my mouth. She dragged her fingers through my hair and tugged, biting her lip as I sucked her nipple into my mouth.
As I switched to the other side, I let my hand caress down her stomach to her sweet pussy. She moaned as I stroked her slowly up and down. Already, my girl was so wet for me. I let go of her nipple so I could continue kissing down past her stomach to taste the treasure there.
I dragged my tongue up and down her salted honey flavor. She gasped my name as I slipped a finger inside, her muscles clenching around me. So much time apart had made her every bit as tight as the first time we made love. But I wouldn’t complain. With a bit of encouragement, I’d soon have her loosened up again.
Her hands found my hair again, more insistent. “Harder,” she whimpered. “Please, Night.”
Her sweet voice made my cock twitch. “That’s my good girl,” I said, easing in another finger. “How’s that?” Before she answered, I resumed my meal, lapping at her lower lips before focusing on her clit. It pulsed under my tongue.
“Y-yes—!” Her fingers tightened in my hair. “Night, yes!”
I pumped my fingers in and out of her warmth, curving them upward to the spot I knew she loved. She panted my name again and again in time with my thrusting. I used my free hand to hold her steady as she trembled, pressing my face more firmly into her softness. Looking up at her, I admired the way her breasts trembled and bounced with each move she made. I loved watching her gorgeous face contort with pleasure. Her climax wasn’t far off. I could sense it.
She had to have been exhausted from her fight with Troy, but she bucked beneath me as I pressed the pads of my fingers to that spot. My mate was so strong. So incredible. And allmine.I upped the pace until her soft thighs tightened around my head. Then, I pulled my fingers out so I could plunge my tongue inside. I lost myself in her taste, in the way her smooth skin felt against mine, in the way her screams echoed around the room. I kept her orgasm going as long as possible, pushing it on and on with just my tongue.
When her body gave out, I let her fall to the bed again. She panted beneath me, her face bright red, her arm draped across her eyes. I licked my lips and wiped my chin with the heel of my hand as I looked down at her. My beauty, my mate.
“Finished already?” I asked, pushing my pants down.
“N-no.” She pulled her arm away and peered up at me with eyes that took hold of my heart and squeezed. When she saw that I was naked, those eyes began to burn with want. She drank in every inch of me, and reached out. “I want it.”
“Oh, sweet thing,” I crawled over her again, “I know you do.”
Our kisses became more insistent, more searching. Her tongue found mine as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I reached down to tease her open with my cock. She spread her legs wider. I broke our kiss to groan as I pushed inside. Knowing what she felt like, it was the sweetest torture to go so slow, but I didn’t want to stretch her too fast.
Her fingers dug into my skin, and she lifted her head to watch me fill her up. As I eased those last few inches in, she threw her head back and gave a trembling sigh. With the next thrust, she bit her lip. I cradled her close to my chest so that every inchof her was flush with every inch of me. I felt her heart beating through her chest and into mine, an intimacy I’d never shared with any other woman. I pressed my forehead to hers and began to thrust.
“Ohhh,” she purred. “Niiight?—!”
Never had my name sounded better than when she moaned it out like that.
When slow stopped being enough for her, I pushed her down to the mattress and buried my face in her neck, upping the pace.
She wrapped her legs around my waist, and my teeth sharpened. It was time, and I was ready, but I had to ask her again.
“Are you sure you want this?” I asked.
She growled at me, an actual growl that surprised me with its ferocity. “Hurry up and bite me before I bite you first.”
I would have laughed, but my wolf surged forward. It was all the encouragement we needed. I sped up my thrusts, and her growl softened to a moan as I hit her favorite spot. She clenched around me, her fingers tightening in my hair, and I bit her right over the spot where Redwolf had attempted to mark her.
