She whimpers as I work my way up higher, planting a kiss on her mound before spreading her with my fingers and flicking my tongue against her clit. Her back arches, a needy moan vibrating in her throat. The taste of her explodes on my tongue as I lick into her, and I don’t stop until she’s writhing, begging, hands fisted in my hair and knees squeezing my head.

I was never big on eating pussy until her. Now, I can’t get enough.

I wrap my lips around her clit, sucking hard, and she detonates, gushing all over my face. I lap up her release, then pull back to find her still trembling, skin slick with sweat and eyes clouded with lust.

Rising up on my knees, I shuffle into position at the cradle of her thighs, lining my tip up with her entrance. I don’t push in, though. Not yet.

I want her desperate.

“Say please,” I growl.

She glares up at me, stubborn as always. “Fuck you.”

I slap her inner thigh, my other hand coming up to wrap around her throat. “I will if you say it.”

Violet wriggles her hips, gaze turning molten. “Please, Commander,” she purrs.

“Good fucking girl.” I slam into her, and she cries out, back arching, heels digging into my ass. I set a brutal pace, hips snapping as I fuck her into the mattress, her hands clawing at my back.

My wolf is right at the surface, crazed with the urge to mark her so everyone knows she’s mine. I fight it, teeth gritted, but resisting is agony. I try to distract myself by changing positions, rocking back on my heels and tossing one of her legs up over my shoulder. The angle lets me sink in even deeper, and as my head drops back on a groan, I feel my canines start to descend.

Shit.

When I lift my head, there’s no hiding it. Violet’s gaze catches on the sharp tips of my canines poking from between my lips, and she draws a shaky little gasp, her inner walls clenching around me.

“Do it,” she pants, sweeping her hair off her neck.

I go still, cock throbbing deep inside her. “Are you sure?”

She nods emphatically, eyes gone almost pure silver. Her wolf wants this, too.

Thank fuck.

I haul her up into my arms, hooking her thighs around my hips and bouncing her on my lap. Her hard nipples scrape against my chest, hands wrapping over my shoulders to brace herself. She tosses her hair back, baring her throat, and I don’t hesitate. I dip my head, mouth finding the junction of her neck and shoulder on instinct.

She shivers as my canines graze her skin, and the fragile hold I had on my control snaps. I bite down, piercing her flesh, a wave of primal satisfaction rolling through my body. She cries out, head lolling back as I deposit my mating serum beneath her skin.

It’s a rush like I’ve never felt. I bounce her on my dick harder, faster, savoring every fucking moment before withdrawing my fangs and licking the wound to soothe the sting.

When I look up, I find Violet’s canines have descended, too, her eyes wild. She doesn’t ask for permission– not that she needs it– just dives forward and sinks her teeth into my skin at the same spot, claiming me right back. The pain is brief, and the rush of heat that follows feels so fucking good I almost come undone.

It’s all I can do to hold back until she withdraws her canines. The moment she does, I yank her off my dick and let go, painting her inner thighs with hot ropes of cum.

“Fuck,” I pant, the tension draining from my body as I ride out the last wave. But my girl’s still trembling with need, her breathing ragged, thighs quivering. I pull her back down onto me, fucking into her hard until she comes, the pulse of her pussy milking my cock.

We collapse together in a tangle of limbs, sweaty and sated. I pull Violet over to lay against my chest, wrapping my arms around her, holding her close.

“Mine,” I murmur into her hair.

“Mine,” she echoes, and I can hear the smile in her voice as she nuzzles in even closer.

I’ve never been more content.

Never felt more like myself.

If this is what forever looks like, I’m all in.
