Page 12 of Lawful Mate
His mouth crashed against hers, then her shirt was being lifted, and she helped him with his. Her underwear and his sweatpants came next. She’d gotten a glimpse of his body yesterday through his tattered shirt, but… damn. Now that she wasn’t dizzy with pain, she could appreciate the hard lines of his chest and his torso, leading down to that glorious V.
A growl tore from his throat as he pressed himself against her, his long hard length teasing her opening. A moan rose in her throat at their connection as she ground against him, wanting him inside her, but he had other plans for her.
He shifted to her neck, delivering open-mouthed kisses, tasting her, his teeth grazing her now overheated skin. Moving to her breasts, he cupped the underside of one full globe while sucking the nipple of the other one into his mouth. She moaned loudly as he sucked, licked, and tortured each breast. Just when she thought she could come, he trailed kisses across her flat stomach, hands gliding down her ribs and farther still.
Panting, she whimpered as he got close to her mound. He toyed with the neat patch of hair with his finger and looked up at her, giving her his trademark devilish half-smile.
“I like the red,” he said right before he devoured her.
She fisted the sheets with one hand, his hair with the other, and muttered incoherently as he expertly ate her. Then she came, screaming, calling out his name, begging him for she didn’t know what.
Moments later, his lips once again crashed down on hers. She tasted herself on him, a reminder of where he’d been moments ago and the earth-shattering orgasm he had given to her. Ivy felt the need for him rising again, building in her blood. They didn’t need any barriers between them since they had the supernatural perk of carrying no diseases and a witchy perk of being able to control her cycle.
“I’m going to make you come so hard again,” he whispered in her ear. His teeth grazed her earlobe, making her shiver with pleasure, then he finally entered her. “Ah,” he groaned as he pushed in all the way, his thickness hitting nerve endings she didn’t realize she possessed.
Thrusting slow and deep, his hooded gaze locked with hers. She explored his back, her fingertips memorizing every muscle as she trailed them down to his fine ass and left them there, pulling him even closer.
He brought his forehead against hers and let out a breathy laugh.
“I don’t think anyone’s ever grabbed my ass before. I like it.”
“Definitely their loss.” She kissed his lips, then playfully bit his lip. “I’ve wanted to do that forever. Your lips mesmerize me.”
“All of you fucking mesmerizes me,” he growled, the sound reverberating into her skin, making her shiver, then he thrust harder, faster.
She hooked her arms under his, holding on to his shoulders as they kissed deeply, then suddenly, he tore his mouth away.
“Ivy,” he breathed. “Ah!” His canines elongated, and he stilled for a moment, struggling to get them to retract.
Ivy touched his cheek. She didn’t want him to hold back. They were true mates.
“I want you to.”
His primal smile may have appeared frightening to some, but to her, it was sexy, erotic, and possessive. Victory showed on his gorgeous face, and she could have sworn she saw his tiger reflected in his eyes.
He bit her.
The slight pinch of pain was nothing compared to the blinding ecstasy of the orgasm that ripped through her as she screamed. Her legs quivered with continuous spasms. Theo’s movements became jerky as he spilled inside of her, moaning in her ear as he pressed himself into her.
“Mine,” he whispered.
And he was hers.
CHAPTER 7
“His name was Ben,” she said, jutting her chin toward the frame on the nightstand.
Two rounds of incredible sex later, Ivy was lying in Theo’s arms again, head resting on his chest, looking up at him.
“He’s the one who took that photo. I’d known him since we were in diapers. Our moms were inseparable, best friends since they were in kindergarten. They were even college roommates.” Ivy paused and took a deep breath. “The same college your mom went to.”
Theo’s brows shot up in surprise. “Our moms knew each other?”
Ivy nodded. “They were friends.” She paused again. “Ben was my best friend.” Theo held her tighter, sensing this wouldn’t be easy for her to share.
“He’s the one you tried to turn into a toad?”
“Yeah.” She couldn’t help but laugh a little at the memory. “We… um… we dated for a while… in college.” Ivy wasn’t sure if she should tell Theo about this part. She didn’t want to hear about his past relationships.
