LIVIA

Pleasure exploded throughout my body as Caelan sank his teeth deeper and deeper inside my neck. I dragged my nails down his back, my head rolling back to give him better access to me.

“Alpha,” I breathed, the pressure almost too much to handle.

The heat that had been coursing through my body suddenly evaporated, and I grabbed on to him tighter. Part of me expected him to pull away, to realize what he was doing and regret it immediately, to reject me like I’d had nightmares he would since I met him.

But he continued to sink his teeth into my neck until his gums reached my flesh.

And then he stayed there. Completely still.

Until the mate bond fully snapped into place between us.

His thoughts raced through my head, his energy through my body. Every one of his strengths, his weaknesses, the feelings that he had at this very moment were somehow seared into my body as if I had known this man forever.

“Please,” I whispered, unsure about what I was actually pleading for, but I needed more.

Lycos, I so desperately want more.

I wanted him. All of him. I wanted to finally complete this bond between us.

Still, he stayed inside me, his teeth nestled against my skin, his eyes closed softly, and his body stiff. I moved closer, the pressure building inside my core. And even though the heat was long gone, a different type of heat was now raging inside my core.

“Lycos,” I moaned. “Please, I need it now.”

Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open and pulled his teeth out of my neck. One moment, he was inside me, and the next, he was ripping off my clothes, turning me over so my chest was against the wall, and pulling out his thick, hard cock.

It throbbed against me when he slapped it on my aching pussy, then he shoved it between my swollen lips and into me. Wave after wave after wave of pleasure rushed through my body, and I clamped around him tightly, my nails digging into the wall until my fingertips whitened.

“Oh my Lycos,” I cried. “Oh my Lycos, oh my Lycos, oh my Lycos!”

“Moan for me, little mate,” he murmured into my ear between soft grunts and groans. He slammed into me, getting deeper with every pump. “When you come for me, our bond will finally be sealed, and you’ll be mine for good.”

The pressure continued to build higher inside me. He gripped my waist tightly, pulling me toward him with every single thrust. I pushed back against the wall to give him some help, needing him deeper. It wasn’t just a want. No, something deep inside me needed it.

I craved it.

“Please, please, come with me. Please!”

“Lycos, you’re so tight,” he growled against my mark. “Keep bucking those hips against me. Back and forth just like that. You move so fucking well, little mate. So well… You want my cum bad, huh?”

Moans left my mouth, the heat building up inside me. My cheeks were flushed, and my nipples were aching. The pressure built higher and higher and higher. He kept talking, and my body kept responding.

My pussy getting tighter, clamping down, until finally…

I rolled my head back, and the pressure exploded inside me.

A few low, rough grunts later, and he stilled deep inside my pussy.

Pleasure rushed through me from all angles. My entire body tingled. My breathing was ragged. And before I realized what I was doing, I found myself pushing away from him, turning around, and finally claiming what was mine.

Though my teeth were blunt, I sank them as far as I could into my mate’s neck.
