The sky was lit with stars, the woods dark and quiet.
She put her arms around him and kissed him.
He rested his hands on her hips and gazed down at her, and she saw just the hint of his wolf’s amber.
“I knew what you were to me the moment you walked into the tavern,” he said. “The wolf gives me instincts that humans don’t have. You’re my truemate, the one person in the world for me. When you showed up, I knew I’d been waiting my whole life for you.”
“Oh Trick,” she said. “You’re so special to me.”
He kissed her, his fingers digging into her hips. “Be my mate, Cassidy. Let me mark you and make you mine.”
“Yes.”
His arms came around her, and he kissed her again. Words that hadn’t been said hung between them, but she felt them just the same. They’d both fallen for each other. The words could come later.
They moved back on the patio to the lounge chair that was covered in shadows, and she sat down, her legs spreading wide as he lowered himself to his knees on the concrete.
He pushed up the hem of her dress as his hands delved under the soft material.
She waited for the moment he realized she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
He growled softly as his fingers stroked her. “Sexy female.”
She leaned back on her elbows and held his gaze as she tucked her finger under the top of her dress and pulled downfirst one side, and then the other, until her breasts were free, her nipples tightening in the cool night air.
It was so dark she could only see him covered in shadows, and she was feeling more aroused than she ever had in her life.
He pushed the dress up over her hips and bared her fully, and she could hear the growl of his wolf as he inhaled and let out a pleased rumble.
“Mine,” he said, lowering his head to press a kiss to her navel.
“Yes,” she said, the word ending on a hiss as he pushed his hands under her bottom and lifted her to his mouth. She gripped the back of the lounger with a gasp as he licked a slow circle around her clit before delving his tongue into her heat.
He tongued her core, growling in a way that made his tongue vibrate, then he stroked up and around her clit before closing his lips over it and sucking. Heat pooled in her belly, swirling tighter as he drew her closer to climax.
Right before she fell over the edge, he stopped. Before she could ask why, he rose to his feet and stripped, his clothes hitting the concrete.
“On your knees, beautiful,” he said, his voice edged with a growl.
She rolled to her knees on the lounge, gripping the top as her dress fluttered down over her bottom. He put one knee behind her and pushed the dress over her hips again, and then he leaned forward, kissing her neck.
“I want you to come on my cock.”
He gave a light bite to her neck and she felt his cock press against her before slowly sliding in. She tilted her head back with a gasp as he filled her, one hand on her hip and the other covering her breast and squeezing her nipple between his finger and thumb.
“You’re the fucking sexiest female I’ve ever met,” he said. He pulled from her pussy and thrust in again. He started slow, soshe felt every inch as his body connected with hers. Then he moved faster, playing with her breasts and kissing her neck and shoulder, nibbling on her skin and setting fire to her nerves.
The orgasm that had started to bloom charged forward again, and she reached back to sink her fingers into his hair. He pushed his hand roughly down her body and under her dress, pressing his fingers to her clit and rubbing quickly.
She let out a cry of pleasure as heat spiraled through her. He took her hard and fast, his chest vibrating with his wolf’s growl and her vision blurring as pure pleasure poured over her.
Her fingernails scraped against his scalp as his fingers found just the right spot and she fell over the edge into heat, crying out his name.
He pushed her roughly forward and she caught herself on the lounge. His hands clamped on her hips and he fucked her hard and fast, her climax lapping at her like waves on the shore, stretching out impossibly far as he filled her over and over.
He growled deeply when he came, his hands digging into her hips, and then she was upright, pressed against his chest with his fingers on her clit, her whole body jolting as pleasure surged through her.
And then he bit her.
