"Then we better not waste it."

His mouth crashed against mine and I melted into him, my hands already working at his belt.This—us—still felt new enough to be electric every single time.But there was something deeper now too, something that went beyond the physical pull of the mate bond.I trusted him.Completely.

Calder lifted me easily, my legs wrapping around his waist as he carried me toward the bedroom.We'd barely made it past the threshold when he was already pulling my shirt over my head, his hands hot against my skin.

"I love you," I said against his lips, surprising myself with how easily the words came.

He froze for just a moment, pulling back to look at me with an expression so tender it made my breath catch."Say it again."

"I love you, Calder Thorne."

A growl rumbled deep in his chest and then we were moving again, falling onto the bed in a tangle of limbs.His mouth found my throat, teeth grazing over the spot where he’d marked me as his own.The thought of being tied to someone forever should have terrified me, but instead it sent heat pooling low in my belly.I loved belonging to him.

"Love you too," he murmured against my skin."My mate.”

“Calder,” I whispered, reaching down and gripping his cock through his jeans.“I need you to fuck me.”

He grinned, kissing me hard once more.“Not until I’ve had my tongue on every inch of your body.”

I didn’t need convincing to know he’d make good on that promise.

Calder kissed me again, his tongue swirling around mine.My hands pushed under his shirt, my nails digging into his back as I bucked against him, grinding our cocks together through the fabric of our jeans.Calder moaned into my mouth, a low grumbling sound that made me shiver with delight.

But he couldn’t resist the friction for long.He reached down, pulling my shirt off in one fluid movement.Then his lips were tracing my collarbones and chest before his tongue found my nipples.I arched into him, my fingers tangling in his dark hair as his teeth grazed the sensitive bud.Every nerve ending felt like it was on fire, the mate bond amplifying every touch, every sensation until I was practically vibrating with need.

"Patience," Calder murmured against my skin, his breath hot as he worked his way down my stomach.His hands made quick work of my jeans, tugging them down along with my boxers until my cock stood hard and proud between us.

I reached for him, wanting to feel his skin against mine, but he caught my wrists and pinned them gently above my head."Let me take care of you."

And he did.His mouth traced every line of my body, his tongue following the path of muscle and bone until I was writhing beneath him, begging for more.When he finally took my cock in his mouth, I nearly came undone right there.

"Fuck, Calder," I gasped, my hips jerking involuntarily.

He hummed around me, the vibration sending shocks of pleasure up my spine.His hands gripped my thighs, holding me in place as he worked me with his tongue, taking me deeper until I could feel the back of his throat.He was getting far too good at that.

I was close, too close, and he knew it.He pulled off with an obscene pop, his eyes dark with desire as he looked up at me with a grin.

"Not yet," he growled."I want to be inside you when you cum."

He stripped off his remaining clothes in record time, and then he was back, his hands on the back of my knees.In one swift motion he pinned them back to my shoulders, staring down at my exposed hole.Without a word he dipped between my legs, his tongue pressing hot and wet against my entrance.

I cried out, my back arching off the bed as his tongue circled and teased.The sensation was overwhelming.The wet heat and pressure always had me gasping his name like a prayer.He worked me open with his mouth, his stubble scratching against my sensitive skin in a way that only added to the pleasure.

When he finally pulled back, I was panting, desperate, completely at his mercy.He reached for the lube on the nightstand, coating his fingers before sliding one inside me.I moaned at the intrusion, my body welcoming him eagerly.

"So fucking perfect," he murmured, watching my face as he worked a second finger in alongside the first."I could watch you like this forever."

"Please," I whimpered, pushing back against his hand."I'm ready.Don’t make me wait.”

He added a third finger, stretching me, making sure I could take him.The burn was delicious, and by the time he withdrew his fingers and lined himself up, I was practically sobbing with need.

Calder pushed in slowly, his eyes locked on mine as he filled me inch by inch.The stretch was intense, but the mate bond sang between us, turning any discomfort into pure pleasure.When he was fully seated, he paused, giving me time to adjust.

“Fuck that ass feels incredible,” he growled, his eyes shifting to gold.

"Move," I demanded, wrapping my legs around his waist.“Now.”

He didn't need to be told twice.He pulled out almost completely before slamming back in, setting a brutal pace that had the headboard knocking against the wall.I met him thrust for thrust, my nails raking down his back as he hit that spot inside me that made me see heaven.
