But as she stuck out her hand, he shook his head. “We’re not children anymore, Jordan. I don’tshake.”
Nolan pulled her into hisarms.
His mouth met hers in the sweetest, gentlest of kisses. Jordan’s eyes fluttered closed. He tasted like chocolate and wine as his mouth moved subtly over hers. Nolan’s scent flood her senses, cedar and forest tangling with a hint of berries. Blackberries, she thought, opening her mouth as his tongue flicked across herlips.
Nolan drew back, his smoldering gaze searching her. “It’s been a long time, Jordan. I don’t know if I can… control myself withyou.”
Shivering, she touched his cheek. “Thendon’t.”
Jordan lifted her face as he stared at her mouth. Nolan pulled her against him, his lips warm and seeking as he kissed her. Thrusting his tongue deep into her mouth, he kissed her as if he needed her like he needed his next breath. She slid her arms around hisneck.
Waves of desire submerged her, dragging her past reason. Not that she needed or wanted reason. It was her wedding night, and this was her husbandnow.
Hermate.
Need tunneled through her, firing every cell in preparation for taking him into her body. Jordan couldn’t confess she’d never taken another lover since her departure. Nolan already had wielded enough power overher.
He would take her body, which she gave willingly tohim.
He would not take her heart, which she guarded fromhim.
Nolan swept her up into his arms. When he laid her down on the bed, she shook all over. Jordan crawled to the bed’s center, watching as he undressed. Willing, pliant, wet, she was ready to takehim.
The musky scent of her own desire, and the strong, masculine scent of cedar and leather filled her senses. His breathing came fast and urgent as he kicked off his shoes, tore off his shirt and socks and then reached for the zipper of histrousers.
His penis sprang out, hard and straining. Nolan pushed the trousers past his lean hips and stood at the bed’s edge, his hungry gaze sweeping over her. He climbed onto the bed, his gaze almostblack.
“Take that off,” he grated out in a rough voice. “Unless you want me to shred that pretty gown topieces.”
Jordan’s breath hitched as she realized his claws had snapped out. He was alpha, and a wolf and his need to mate had overtaken all else. The animal surged, the male testosterone riding himhard.
As he planned to rideher.
Thanks for your gift, Nia. Nice while it lasted.Jordan’s mouth lifted in a suggestive smile. Fabric in hand, she waved it athim.
“Go rightahead.”
With a low growl, he was on her, his claws ripping the gown without touching her skin. Nolan tossed it aside and fisted a hand in her hair, kissing her again. This time, his mouth was hot and eager, and she kissed him back, passion ridingher.
I want to be loved. Every night since I left, I go to bed wanting. Is it too much to ask to want happinessagain?
Love seemed impossible to recapture. She’d settle for hot sex, and quieting the urges of herbody.
His hands explored her quivering, naked body as she did the same with his. Rediscovering each other. Memories of their first time lovemaking ran through her. Jordan pushed them aside. This was different, more urgent andwild.
Hands clutching his rounded, fine ass, she moaned as he kissed her breasts. Then his tongue encircled her breast, licking her nipple, teasing it to diamond hardness. The suction of his mouth and the swift caresses of his tongue tensed her withanticipation.
I need this so much. I need you. Onlyyou.
Palm skimming her belly, he touched the curls between her legs. She felt him smile as he kissed herneck.
“Still a true red,” he murmured, and then Nolan nipped her at the sensitive juncture between shoulder and neck. Jordan arched as he teased her clit, then slid a single finger past her soakedfolds.
Nolan sank a finger into her, rubbing back and forth. Friction created even more moisture and she moaned, wriggling against his invadingfinger.
“I need to get inside you, Jordan. Right now,” he grated out. Nolan withdrew his finger, sucked on it, his glittering gaze meeting her shockedone.
“You taste delicious,” he murmured. “Now. It’s time.” He climbed atop her. Muscles on his arms bunched and flexed as he braced his weight with one hand and guided his penis between her openlegs.
