With gentle movements, he removed himself from Neri and gave her one last lick, resulting in the deep shudder that passed through her body. He slid up, his chest touching every inch of her hips, stomach, and chest until he captured her lips. Instead of the frantic kisses of before, they explored each other as he savored the taste of her mouth and her release.

Her body was warmer than it had minutes before and he savored her strength as she looped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him down until he lay on top of her. She deepened the kiss, and he lost all train of thought.

He registered as her legs wrapped around his waist and the pressure as she squeezed them around his hips, pushing them closer together. Hunter’s hips surged forward when Neri cupped his ass and raised her own hips, seeking him out. It surprised him when he found her so slick the tip of his cock slid inside her.

Hunter’s eyes flew open, and he searched for any signs of discomfort. A low moan escaped her throat as she tightened her hold on him. Her hips undulated, taking more and more of his cock with each movement, until she huffed out in frustration. Neri’s silver eyes pierced something inside him.

Unable to deny her anything, he pushed inside inch by glorious inch, not taking his eyes off her. He’d never felt the complete and utter sense of perfection in any part of his life. But at this moment moving inside her as her muscles pulsed around him, it was as close as Hunter would ever come. She clamped down on his cock, drawing a low groan from deep in his throat.

“I’m so glad you found me, so happy I’m your mate,” Neri said.

He kissed Neri then as his heart swelled with pride and relief at her words. Although he’d never sought a mate, hell the truth was he hadn’t even gotten laid in decades, but being with Neri was what he needed in his life without him knowing.

“So am I, angel.”

He surprised her by raising his hips, loving the way she clung to him, wanting to keep him inside. He drew a moan that shivered over his body as his cock sank down into her.

“I won’t break, Hunter. Please.”

He had forgotten for a moment she wasn’t human. She was immortal like him. Although he would never hurt her, loving her like they both needed snapped his control. He leaned down, her beautiful breasts pressed against his chest, and he captured her mouth in a scorching kiss.

The moment she banded her arms around his shoulders, his movements began. He gasped at the grip she had around his cock, he savored it as he pulled back. But this time instead of easing back into her, he drove his hips forward and back, his thrusts causing her to gasp and then moan into his mouth.

“Angel?”

“Yes,yes.”

He savored the closeness between them as his movements continued, he slid his forearms underneath her shoulders and propped her up. He captured her lips, addicted to her as she kissed him back. When her tongue swept inside his mouth and she clawed at his back, a growl erupted from his throat.

“You’re so fucking hot, Hunter. More, harder,” Neri panted.

His hands gripped her shoulders and with a swift movement, he surged backward until his knees were bent and his ass sat on his calves, bringing Neri with him. Her body rested against one arm, his cock still deep inside her, as his other wrapped around her waist. The bliss on Neri’s face was his undoing as he sank deeper inside her at this angle.

“Ready?”

A little snarl erupted from her throat and without delaying, he dropped his hips onto the bed as he lifted her in his arms. Using gravity and his hold on her, his hips surged up as he pulled her back down on his cock, sinking deeper and deeper with each thrust.

For the first time in his existence as an immortal, all cognitive reasoning dropped away, and he found his baser self. His panther purred when pleasure unlike anything he’d ever known surged through his body. He centered on her scent and he surged forward to lick the sheen from her neck, moving down to her chest as he swallowed her hard nub and flicked it with his tongue.

She clung to him and pride swelled in his chest. He pleasured his mate. The woman made for him and him alone. He moved to the other nipple and using instinct alone, scraped his fang against her taut, soft skin and drew a deep groan from her.

“Neri, angel…”

“Fuck, that’s good.More.”

This time when he scraped his fang against her skin, he drew her blood. Without thinking it through, he wrapped his lips around her and sucked, groaning and surging his cock up and piercing her again and again as he savored her on his tongue. It was sweeter than he expected and he craved more.

His movements didn’t stop. He relished in the sound of her moans and gasps of pleasure. Each time her breath caught in her throat or she moaned his name, he lost himself in the sensations. He buried his face against her neck, inhaling the concentrated scent of her arousal, and as she tightened around him, he sensed his teeth extend.

“Hunter?”

Neri blinked her eyes open and drew her swollen bottom lip in between her teeth. “I’m… I don’t know what this is. It’s so good and I don’t want it to stop, but… I can’t. I need—”

His mouth cut her off with a kiss as his movement increased. He reached between them and flicked her clit with his thumb. Once, and then again, and without warning, she clamped down on his cock as a rush of wetness covered him as she screamed his name.

Breathless from her orgasm, her body shivering in his arms, he held her as his mouth sought the space between her neck and her shoulder. He scraped one fang along her skin, not enough to puncture but to tease.

Her back arched as she gyrated her hips on his, seeking more of him, but paused at the sharpness of his teeth running over her skin. “Yes, do it.”
