Well, he was her truemate. And her body’s natural reaction was simply that – natural. She could see the hint of fangs as he smiled down at her, his eyes a mix of chocolate and amber.
Slipping her hands up to his face, she went onto her toes and kissed him.
The kiss stole the ground out from under her.
It was just them. Lips pressed, tongues dancing, the deep, sweet kiss feeling like it was going on forever.
He lifted his lips from her with a soft growl and said, “We can talk later?”
“Eventually. Later. Yes.”
His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled.
He stared at her for a moment, and she could practically see the wheels turning in his mind. Then he ducked down, put his shoulder against her belly, and lifted her over his shoulder as he straightened.
She let out a laugh as she found herself dangling over his back.
“I’m not that slow of a walker.”
“It’s definitely faster this way, sweetness. Trust me.”
“Then take me home, Gabriel. I’m all yours.”
Gabriel settled her on her back on a big bed and lowered himself over her, his arms straight and his wolf rumbling in his chest.
The air was charged between them, neither of them speaking for a long moment.
The next move would change everything.
So who would make it?
Was she forward enough to… oh.
Oh.
Gabriel pushed her tunic up and exposed her belly, lowering his head to kiss her navel. Her body turned liquid with heat, and she closed her eyes as he licked and kissed around her belly, tugging her leggings low enough to kiss just above her most tingling place. Her toes curled in her boots, and she cursed the fact that she was wearing anything at all.
He kissed up her belly, pushing her top higher as he moved. She’d forgone a bra because the tank top beneath her tunic was form fitting enough to hold her girls in place, and right now she was really glad she had.
He gathered the material above her breasts, and she reached for him, sinking her fingers into his soft, dark hair as he worshipped her breasts, sucking and licking her nipples until she writhed beneath his touch.
He eased back and pulled his shirt off, then kissed her deeply. Then he slipped from the bed, removed her boots and tossed them to the floor before he pulled her leggings and panties down over her hips, nipping at her skin as he stripped them away.
Gabriel was between her thighs a heartbeat later, pressing his lips to her heated flesh, his tongue finding her clit and sending a shiver of delight through her.
He brought her knee over his shoulder and lifted her bottom from the bed to give himself better access. His tongue slipped down to her entrance, and he tongued her core like he couldn’t get enough. Whenever he pushed his tongue into her, he growled, the vibrations making her clit tingle, then he’d follow with a few strokes up and down.
His warm hand pressed against her belly, and his thumb settled on her clit, rubbing lightly back and forth, up and down, until he found the place that made her whole body light up and her shoulders lift from the bed.
“Right there!” she gasped.
He chuckled and licked at her as his thumb worked that spot with just the right pressure and speed, until her stomach tightened, heat filled her, and stars winked in her vision as she tunneled toward bliss.
As she crested the wave into pleasure, she shouted his name and rocked her hips against his face, her skin prickling and her body alive with sensation.
He rolled her to her belly and hauled her up to her knees. She heard the faint sound of his zipper, and then the thick, hot head of him was at her entrance. He pushed inside her in one hard thrust, so deep and full that her breath caught.
Her head kicked back as his body hammered into hers again and again, his hands tight on her hips, holding her where he wanted her so he could take them both to the height of pleasure.
