Piper closed her eyes as he sucked her clit between his lips. She dropped her head back with a moan. “You’re lying.”

He lowered her to the marble floor and forced her legs apart. “Am I?”

She nodded as he slipped two long fingers inside her. “You don’t beg for anything.”

“True.” He pressed his lips against her mound. “I take what is mine. And you, sweetheart, are mine. I told you this last night.”

Piper ran her fingers through his hair, tugging so that he met her gaze. “I’m not yours.”

“No?” His tongue circled her clit.

She melted beneath his touch. When she’d first met him, there had been an instant connection. It went beyond attraction and beyond anything she’d ever felt with another man before. He was a shifter. She’d seen him change his form twice, and it was to protect her. He didn’t scare her. Just the opposite. She felt safe with him. Aleo didn’t lie about anything. She believed him when he said he wanted her. He could fuck anyone he wanted, so it went beyond sex. Something deeper developed between them over the years, and she was glad they could finally enjoy it.

“No.” She tugged at his hair forcing him to look at her. “You’re mine. Don’t forget it.”
