“Are you insulting me for getting you off?”
“Kinda seems like it.”
He grinned so wide, his expression was nearly feral. “You’re so fucking perfect.”
“You shouldn’t be attracted to me for accidentally insulting you.”
“My ego can take it.” He lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me.
Brutally.
His lip bled from the scrape of my fangs, and his grin was even wider when he pulled away, taking me again.
My world was all Maverick. All green eyes, thick muscles, and cherry blossoms inked on smooth skin.
He’d already given me permission to bite him—and I wasn’t waiting any longer.
I tilted my head and brushed my lips over his throat.
He went deathly still.
My tongue followed my teeth, and I smiled against his throat when he growled at me.
Don’t tease mewas the clear message.
After one last kiss, I sank my teeth into his jugular, and tasted sweet vanilla.
Maverick roared, fucking me hard as he lost control inside me. My fangs slid free from his skin as I shattered with him, pulling my hands free from where he had them pinned so I could bury my fingers in his hair.
He stared down at me, eyes glowing and chest heaving. “You’re sure?”
The taste of his blood was on my tongue, making me crave more even as I came down from the high he’d given me. “I’m positive.”
“There’s no going back, Bloom. If I bite you, this is it. You’re my mate. My world. There is no escape. Are you sure you can take it?”
“No,” I said honestly. “But I’m not willing to lose you, so I’ll figure it out.”
The look he gave me was all heat, and happiness.
Love, I guess.
“I’m supposed to wrestle you,” he told me, his cock still buried inside me.
“I can try if you want, but you saw how well I fight in the office.”
“I can’t bite you until I’ve conquered you.”
He dragged his cock out slowly, before thrusting in roughly.
“Consider me conquered.”
He pulled out, instead.
And rolled me to my stomach, between his thighs.
“Oh god,” I moaned, on my hands and knees as he dragged the tip his erection over my entrance, lifting my ass higher to give himself better access.
“No god. Just me.” He squeezed my backside with the hand that wasn’t on his cock. “I want to bite you twice.”
