Page 24 of Unbelievable Faith
He needed to hear her say it. He needed more than just her body. He needed her promise that she was his and that they would figure all of this out after the heat waned. He needed to know that this mating was real and true andpure.
Luna whimpered softly and nodded when he met her gaze, “I’m yours, Michael. From now until I leave this earth. I promise. I promise.I…”
He drove inside of her, stealing her breath and cutting off the rest of her sentence. It was enough. This was more than enough. He groaned as her tight, wet heat surrounded him and gripped him tight. His head dropped forward and he had to close his eyes and count slowly backwards to keep from spilling his seed inside of her right then andthere.
Heaven. God, this was heaven. She was hisheaven.
Made for him didn’t begin to describe it. She fit him in every way. Her body welcomed him as if he belonged there. Holding him deep inside of her, joining them as closely as two people couldbe.
He wasn’t sure how long they stayed like that. Joined but unmoving. Simply holding onto one another. Feeling one another and basking in the surge of the bond cementing itself between them. This one act began the process of stitching their souls back together and he wasn’t sure either of them were even breathing until the heat became too much and his hips shifted of their ownaccord.
“Oh, God…” Luna moaned and arched beneath him, “Yes. More.Yes.”
Michael held himself up on his forearms and watched her as he pulled his hips back and plunged deep again and again and again. Her chin tilted up and the muscles in her neck strained as she cried out. Her lips were swollen from his kisses and from where she bit at them. He wanted to bite those lips himself but he didn’t dare, not right now, not when he could feel his teeth elongating, sharpening, shifting with the knowledge that soon he would pierce her flesh and mark her ashis.
“Michael.” Luna wrapped her legs around his waist and rocked against him, “Oh God, I’m close,Michael.”
“Yeah? You gonna come for me, baby?” He slowed his pace and ground his pelvic bone against her, rubbing her clit and making her whimper. Oh, he was going to enjoy this. Teasing her. Playing with his little mate. Seeing what sounds he could pull from her and what she would do next. He would never, ever, get tired of the way she looked beneath him when she came apart. “I felt you come on my tongue already. Come on my cock, Luna. It’s yours. I’m yours. Get off onme.”
She whimpered again and her hips began to buck wildly. Michael groaned and held her beneath him. He could feel it coming through the bond. Felt her body tensing before her pussy gripped him tight. Felt her breath catch a moment before a scream jolted out of her. She shivered and shook beneath him and it was all he could do to keep driving inside of her, pushing her through it, instead of simply falling into a trance watchingher.
She was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. Luna, his mate, in the throes of passion. Her body wrapped lovingly around his as she found release. Everything else was swept away in the tide of her orgasm except for the joy and the rightness that he felt when it finally began toebb.
Her eyelids fluttered open, her dark gaze glassy and love drunk, “Oh, Michael… thatwas…”
“Not done yet, baby.” He smirked and leaned down, tasting her lips slowly until she began to rock against him again, finding a new rhythm and moaning into his mouth. He pulled back with a grunt, “Myturn.”
Luna whined when he pulled out and then shrieked as he flipped her over. A growl tore out of his throat when she recovered in the new position and arched her back. She pushed her ass at him and glanced over her shoulder, biting into that sexy bottom lip again. He was a total goner for this woman. He gripped her hips and slammed back intoher.
Hard. Too hard. The human side of his brain warned him to slow down and take it easy on her but he was too fargone.
She was his. His woman. His mate. His. He felt the singular urge to bury himself inside her as deep as he could get and spill his seed. He wanted to breed her, right here and right now. Wanted her carrying their pups. Wanted her bound to him in as many ways as he could tie her to him so that he would never have to go a day without heragain.
“Oh, God, Michael.” Luna moaned his name, one hand going to the headboard to keep herself steady as he pounded againsther.
“So perfect.” He groaned as he levered himself up and covered her hand with one of his own, wrapped the other around her to hold her for his assault, “Fuck, Luna, never letting yougo.”
“Never.” She tilted her head, her hair sliding to one side of her neck, baring her soft flesh for him and his rhythmstuttered.
She wanted it so bad. Needed it just as badly as he did. She wasn’t fighting him. She wasn’t fighting the bond or the heat. She submitted to his dominance in every way and it made his wolf want to howl with pleasure. She was perfect for them, exactly what they’d never known theyneeded.
“Luna…” He groaned, “Come for me again, baby. Come for me so you don’t feel a second of pain when I biteyou.”
Her fingers laced with his, “Do it. Please, Michael. Please, just doit.”
It might have been the begging. Maybe it was the way he could feel her need through the bond, feel her wolf all but purring with desire. Or maybe it was just that this woman had been made for him and with one simple act he would bind her to him in a way that meant she could never leavehim.
Michael slammed inside of her, as deep as he could get, and then he bared his teeth and sank them into the soft flesh of her neck. Luna screamed. Power exploded throughout the room. Michael came with a grunt of pure, unadulterated satisfaction. His cock and his teeth inside of his mate, leaving his mark, making her his, and God it was absolutelyperfect.
She was so sweet. So damn sweet. So sweet and…submissive.
His brain clicked back on as the orgasm ebbed and took the heat with it. A chill sank beneath his skin as what he’d been missing clicked into place. He’d been so worried her wolf was hiding out of fear. He’d just been happy to sense her. He’d been so focused on Luna and pleasing her, on mating her and marking her, that he hadn’t been listening to his own wolf and what he sensed. If he’d been paying attention, if he hadn’t been so distracted by the heat and the need to mate, he would have put it togethersooner.
Luna’s wolf wasn’t an Alpha. She wasn’t even dominant. She wassubmissive.
He felt her tense below him and knew she must feel his confusion and worry through the bond. She started to pull away from him but he wrapped his arms around her and squeezed. He rolled them to the side so his weight wouldn’t land on her but he didn’t loosen his grip, not a bit and after a few more moments of squirming Luna must have realized he wasn’t letting her getaway.
“Don’t.” He nuzzled her neck, licking at the bite mark that was already beginning to heal and turn silvery with the mating scar, “Don’t you run from me, Luna. You’re mine. Nothing is going to change that, do you hear me?Nothing.”
She didn’t instantly relax but he didn’t release his holdeither.
It wouldn’t be easy. He knew that and she must have known it too. Submissive wolves weren’t born to lead packs. As his queen, she’d stand at his side but lacking the Alpha gene meant anyone in the pack could challenge her. It was dangerous for her, for him, for the life he’d been imagining since the moment he sawher.
It wouldn’t be easy but when had his life ever beeneasy?
He’d devoted his life to this pack, to his pack. He’d given them his blood, sweat and tears. He hadn’t been born to be the Pack Alpha either but he’d made it work when it was thrust upon him and he would make this worktoo.
He’d already lost too many people in his life. He wasn’t losing Luna too. Not now and not ever. She was his mate and he’d claimed her. There was no going back. Only forward,together.
