A delirious laugh escaped me as I climaxedagain. “You said not long.”
“Guess you need me more than I realized.”
I swatted his arm, and he laughed.
We shattered together, with one more overwhelming release, and something inside me finally seemed to relax. His knot slipped free, and he eased me back to the mattress, on my back.
I stared up at him, dazed, taking in the world’s most ridiculously perfect cock… with a slight upgrade.
It was thicker than it had been before we mated, and at the top, there was a slight bulge. Otherwise, it looked completely normal, if oversized.
But what about him wasn’t oversized?
I didn’t have time to take it in, because as my pleasure finally faded, something within my mind seemed tostretch.
It was uncomfortable at first, but I winced when the discomfort became a sharp jab of pain.
Yeah, that hurt.
I sucked in deep breaths, my head tipping back and my eyes closing as some part of me changed. Maybe even shifted.
And then I felt it.
The thing he’d mentioned. The path between our minds.
It was short and smooth, and in some ways, it felt like something had just fallen perfectly into place.
“Breathe, Sugar. You’re alright. Just adjusting.”Maverick’s voice was calm. It sounded different. Closer. Not in my ear, but in my mind.
My eyes flew open.
He grinned wider. Prouder.“Hear that?”
His lips didn’t move.
I felt his words in a deeper part of me. It felt good, somehow. Right.
He’d warned me, but yeah, that was still just a tiny bit terrifying. Being a vampire obviously didn’t come with any kind of mental connections.
“This is normal?”I asked him.
“It is.”His hand moved slowly over my thigh, soothing me, not trying to start something we’d just finished.
“Does it always feel so intimate for you?”
“No, that’s just us. It’s harder to reach packmates, and it doesn’t feel this natural. This is effortless.”
My gaze moved from his face back to his gigantic cock, and I spoke aloud. “You forgot to warn me about that.” On secondthought, it was actually easier to talk mentally. That was kind of bizarre.
“Yeah. I’d apologize, but I’m not that sorry.”
I shook my head but couldn’t fight my smile. “Do I need to do something about birth control?”
“Nah, I’m still not fertile until breeding season hits. There’s a pill I’ll take when it does, so I’m shooting blanks.”
“Wow.” I lifted a hand to my hair. It was a tangled, wild mess. “So that’s knotting.”
“That’s knotting. You seem like a fan.”
