Astrid pulled away, and he wondered if he’d pushed her too hard. “How about we take this inside?”

There was no questioning what she meant—if they went inside, they would end up in her bedroom. In her bed—naked. The moment they did that, the goalposts would shift in their relationship. There would be no going back.

“Is this what you want?” he asked, needing to know that he wasn’t jumping to conclusions.

“I want this so much.” Astrid pressed her cheek against his and whispered. “I want you desperately.”

If possible, he got even harder. Adjusting his hold so that he could scoop her up, he stood, and she let out a little yelp of surprise before snuggling into his hold. Movement wasn’t possible because nothing had ever felt so right as this moment did. Astrid in his arms, trusting him to look after her. That he could do and not just keep her from danger. He would take the trust she was giving him and show her just how important she was to him. Growler was going to give her a night she wouldn’t forget.

Chapter Sixteen

Astrid melted into Growler’s embrace as he strode toward her bedroom. Tonight, she wanted to forget the danger that lurked in the shadows. All she wanted was to lose herself in the vortex of desire that swirled around her.

They entered her bedroom, and she was glad she’d taken the time to make her bed that morning. Normally she left it unmade. Why bother when she was going to get back in it a few hours later? Of course, having the comforter pulled back would make things so much easier. All Growler would have to do would be to lay her down, shed his clothes, help her get out of hers, and then his body could cover hers.

A shiver of anticipation swept over her, and she couldn’t hide her reaction from him.

“You good?” he asked as he sat her on the bed, concern mingling with the desire in his eyes.

“No.” She sucked on her bottom lip, hoping she looked alluring and not ridiculous. Growler’s attention zeroed in on her mouth.

“What’s wrong?” His voice pitched to that growly tone again and need enveloped her, coalescing in a pool between her legs.

“You’re wearing too many clothes.” Her index fingers hooked through his belt loops and pulled him toward her, the momentum causing her to fall back on the bed.

A warm chuckle curled around her. “I can definitely fix that, but I’m not rushing this, Comet. I’m going to kiss every inch of skin I expose. Then I’m going to taste you, give you so much pleasure you’re going to weep. And when you take my cock into your sweet pussy, it’s going to be heaven. Tonight is one you won’t ever forget.”

Astrid was officially a puddle of goo. Who knew dirty talk could turn her on so much? Or that Growler could talk like that.

Her body flamed with the need to experience every single moment of what he described. “I want everything you just said.”

Growler smiled, one that lit his dreamy brown eyes up and caused the tiny laugh lines in the corner of his eyes to be more prominent.

I did that to him. I made him that happy.

“It will be my pleasure.” Growler leaned down and covered her body, his mouth finding hers.

Astrid wrapped her arms around his wide shoulders and sank into the kiss. Wanting to be consumed by the heat that they generated. She traced the ridges of his spine down until she reached the place where his shirt was tucked into his pants. Clutching the material, she scrunched it up until it released from his pants and she could touch his hot skin.

How she ached to have his bare skin touching hers. He wanted to go slow, while she wanted hard and fast. Wanted to rip their clothes off and have him sink into her.

Growler pulled back and yanked his shirt off. “I’m giving you this, but only this.”

For a second, she didn’t know what he meant until he took her top off and hauled her up so that her breasts, still encased in their lacy bra, were squashed against his chest. “How did you know?” she asked, reveling in the sensation. It was better than she imagined.

“Because I want to feel you against me as much as you do.”

He nipped his way down her neck, her skin tingling in the wake of his exploration. Any thought to ask him to elaborate further disappeared as he gently pushed her down on the bed, his fingers finding the button at the top of her pants. His mouth created havoc on her breast, while he slowly pulled the zipper down.

Somehow, some way, he kept his attention on her breasts but also managed to divest her of her trousers so that all she wore now was her underwear.

“More,” she murmured as he transferred his attention to her other breast.

“So much more,” he agreed against her chest.

Astrid lost herself as Growler worshiped her breasts, her fingers digging into his shoulders as she writhed beneath him. The fabric of his pants brushing against her thighs caused even more sensations to come alive inside of her.

She wanted him naked. Wanted to close her fingers around his hard length. Wanted to guide him into her. “You need to lose the rest of your clothes,” she moaned.
