She shivered, her breath slightly unsteady. “I feel you everywhere.”

“What about here?” He dragged his touch lower, strumming his thumb over the tiny bud of her sex and she gasped. He smirked. “You like when I touch you here.”

“Yes…”

He pulled her hips forward then pushed her back, so that she rocked over him. “Move like this, Grace. Can you do that for me?”

She concentrated on repeating the motion ashis fingers teased her, rubbing and pressing until she was eagerly rocking into him.

“That’s it.” He bucked his hips, lifting them slightly off the bed.

She lurched forward, clutching his chest for balance.

“Yes, lean into me. I’ve got you.”

Reminded of how deeply he was embedded inside of her body, she believed he was right.

“We’re truly one, now, Grace. No one else will ever know you as intimately as I.” He continued to tease that pleasant little bud and pleasure built like a combustible flame inside of her. She closed her eyes, rocking as the building pressure consumed her.

“Let it out.” He rubbed faster, applying more pressure and she practically screamed at the sweet release.

He bucked his hips. Pulling her onto his chest and holding her tightly as he pounded upward. She surrendered to his hold, allowing him this moment to use her body as he liked so that she could process the aftershocks of pleasure. Little tingles of sensation teased her everywhere. Her knees, her spine, and even her skull. There was no single place on her body that she did not feel him.

His wild bucking eventually slowed and they simply lay together in the aftermath of so many new feelings. He brushed her tangled hair away from her face.

“You okay in there?” he teased, trying to workhis way through her messy waves. She was going to have a vicious time combing through such knots.

“I’m lovely,” she purred.

The pressure had turned into decadent pain and then—nothing. Though the knotting subsided, she was at ease with him buried inside of her. Weightless and hollow, floating in the ether of some unknown plane far above the clouds but still safely in his arms.

His chuckle was expected. “Good. Then we can do it again.”

Awareness slammed into her as he toppled her onto her back, his hips rutting hard and fast as he pumped into her with relentless speed. The pleasure returned and would not abate as he pushed her higher and higher.

She was a raindrop far above the earth falling into infinity. She never wanted to land. She only wanted this…this…this endless nothingness of euphoric bliss.

Her mind went blank until only her subconscious existed amongst the rainbow of pleasant sensations beaming through her. No pain. No worry. Only pleasure and a sense of true belonging.

She was a passenger. Free of thought and clear of any pressure to make decisions. He had total control.

She smiled against his lips as he softly kissed her. It was as if they’d kissed this way a thousand times before.

She reveled in his possessive hold, comforted by his unbending claim. Her mate had finally come for her. She was his and he was hers. Together, they were all either of them would ever need. She eagerly looked forward to becoming his everything.

Body relaxed, she welcomed the sense of completeness and sighed.

My Dane…

Her eyes snapped open, and she stiffened.Darius. Her mate was Darius.

He slowly pulled his mouth away and looked down at her with dark, lustful eyes. “You’re beyond my expectations,min pärla.”

Her heart thumped hard, and her mouth formed a hollow hole around empty words. She failed to think ofanythingto say back to him, fearful the wrong words might come out.

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “How do you feel?”

Deceitful… Disloyal… Confused…
