He pulled out, rolled her to the side, grabbed her leg, and threw it over his shoulder, thrusting back in. The new position allowed him to go even deeper, and when he pushed in, she swore that she could feel him in her throat.
“Oh God,” she moaned, her hands trying to hold on to the sheets. “Rael—”
“Look at you,” he groaned. “Taking my cock so well.”
His hand wandered freely, gripping her breast, her hip, sliding along her belly. Every touch was so respectful, so adoring, as if he were committing every inch of her to memory.
“I love your body. I like the way you are so soft. I like the curves, the hips, the ass…fuck, I love your perfect ass.”
To drive his point home, he spanked her ass again. Alanis involuntarily clenched around him, and he groaned.
“Hmm. You like that.”
“Yes… oh god…”
“Good.” He shoved his hand into her hair, pulling her head back to expose her throat. “Because I am not yet finished with you.”
He set a punishing pace, his hips slapping against her ass with each thrust. The hand in her hair controlled her completely, keeping her right where he wanted her, and she surrendered to it—surrendered to him.
The next orgasm was slower, but just as intense, the pleasure flowing out of her core to all her nerve ends. She came, screaming his name, her vision going white.
“Fucking hell, I’m close. Alanis, I need—”
“Do it,” she gasped. She knew what he meant. She had read enough to know what every Alpha needed while having sex with his mate during her heat period. “Knot me.”
His control snapped. He withdrew enough to roll her again on her back, and then slammed back inside, driving her into the mattress with the force of his thrusts. His body covered hers completely, surrounding her, overwhelming her in the best possible way.
“Mine,” he growled in her ear. “You belong to me, Alanis. Say it.”
“Yours,” she sobbed, too far gone to think of what she was agreeing to. “I’m yours, Rael.”
She could feel it as his knot began to inflate. She felt him growing inside her, binding them together. The feeling was so intense and animal-like, pushing her to another orgasm.
It was not like the previous ones she had. This was deeper and more intense than anything she’d ever felt. It began at her very center and spread out in waves, causing her entire body to shake in pleasure.
Rael followed, his cock throbbing as he spilled inside of her. “Shit. Fuck.”
Rael rolled on his side, pulling Alanis along, while he spooned her from behind.
“Holy fuck,” he panted against her neck. “That was…”
“Intense,” Alanis completed with a hoarse voice.
“Yeah.” He wrapped his arms around her. “You okay?”
She felt sore, tired, worn out, but totally content. The heat had come down to a manageable degree, no longer the scalding urgency it had been.
“I am good,” she replied. “Really good.”
She knew his knot would take at least twenty minutes to go down. She had heard of this, but to feel it was quite another thing—this sense of being completely owned, of being part of him in the most natural manner.
It is nothing but biology, she thought to herself. Just the connection and the warmth that make you feel the things that are nonexistent.
Rael gently caressed her hip, belly and thigh. “I meant what I said,” he mumbled. “About your body. You’re perfect, Alanis. Absolutely perfect.”
“You don’t need to…”
“It’s the truth.” He kissed her on the shoulder. “I love the way you feel. I love touching you, and I love that you are mine.”
