I can see the flash of his animal behind his eyes, the way his pupils dilate, and the fact this energy moves out of him like a blast of frigid air.
He steps closer to me, his chest touching mine as I gaze up at him. My heart pounds, my breathing picks up as I inhale his scent, so wild and untamed—exactly what I want, what I’ve always wanted.
The wolf shifter I’ve loved for longer than I want to even admit is standing before me offering me my fantasy.
“This attraction, this connection we have, whatever you want to call it … it’s fucking real, Kendi.” He lifts his hand and smooths his finger over my bottom lip. I shiver in response. “And all you have to do is give yourself over to me fully. Be mine, baby.”
“Be yours,” I whisper.
He makes another low, animalistic sound again. “Be ours.”
I know he’s talking about his wolf, and I feel myself becoming wetter.
“I want you,” he says, his gaze on my lips. “My wolf wants you.”
I find myself closing my eyes as pleasure washes through me. What I feel right now is so powerful, I feel it coat me like thick honey.
I sway slightly at the fact this powerful, massive male wants me. But is it enough to have him in my bed and not in my life permanently?
“My mate,” he growls out.
One word that means so much to a shifter.
I feel my eyes widen as he says that, and then his lips are back on mine. He pulls back only long enough to run his mouth along my jawline, and finally stops by the shell of my ear. “That’s right, Kendi. My mate. Mine. And I know the mating pull is there for you as well, because I can smell your need.” He inhales deeply, this rough sound leaving him, the vibrations moving through my body.
The fact he scents my arousal turns me on so damn much.
“Kendra,” he whispers gruffly.
I close my eyes at the way he says my name. “You never said anything,” I finally find the strength to say.
“A regret I’ll live with for the rest of my life.” He pulls back, his mouth close to mine again, his gaze locked on mine. “I could sense how much you needed your freedom, but I also knew, deep down, that you’d be back. And if not, then I’d find you, Kendi. I’d find you and make you see that you are mine.” His hands gently cup the sides of my neck, his thumbs moving back and forth in a claiming way. “And I waited for you, this whole time. I waited until you came back to me because that’s all I could do, Kendi.”
I can’t breathe as his words slam into me.
“But you’re my mate, and I’m not about to just let that go. I’m not about to let you go again.”
It was as if everything had come together now, full-circle.
I swallow as I feel his erection press against my stomach. Even through the material of his jeans, I can feel how big and thick he is. He’s got a lockdown on his emotions, so reading him is hard, something that I desperately wish I could do in this moment.
“Tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you, mate.”
Our breathing mingles, his mouth so close to mine that if I lean up just an inch we will be kissing once more.
“I want you,” I whisper.6WyattHer admission soothes the savage in me like nothing else can. Her words even manage to calm my wolf. I still have to claim her though. I’m not letting her get away from me. I can’t. It’s gone on too long now. I pick her up in my arms, intent on finding my truck and getting her back to my place. Because before this night is over, Kendi will belong to me completely.
“What are you doing?” she gasps, still holding on to me so tightly that I can feel her nails biting into me. I fucking love it. I wonder if she’ll use those nails on me while I’m fucking her hard, while I’m deep inside of her. I find myself hoping like hell she will.
“I’m taking you home. I can’t wait any longer, Kendi. I’m claiming you tonight.”
“But what about your pack—”
“To hell with my pack. You’re mine and I’m claiming you.”
“It’ll cause issues between—”
“You know how this works, Kendi. I’ve never made a secret about my life as a shifter. You’re my mate. Do you honestly think I could let you go now?”
“You did before,” she says matter-of-factly.
“Because I felt I had to. You might be my mate, but you’re human, Kendi. There could be someone else out there you could love—someone you could be happier with. I gave you freedom to do that.”
“I’ve never wanted anyone but you, Wyatt. The thought of another man trying to touch me makes me physically ill. I’ve always belonged to you … always.”
