He moved around my body, sucking and kissing, marking my skin with his whiskered jaw and the roughened skin of his hands. Finally, he took a nipple into his mouth while his hands curled around my hips, working me into a frenzy just from his teasing.

By the time he dropped to his knees in front of me, I was slick and panting. Draven threw my leg over his shoulder, opening me wide for his mouth. His hands gripped my hips tighter, holding me up, and pressed his lips to me, dragging his tongue through my folds. A moment later, his growls and groans filled the room.

It didn’t take long before I was trembling. On the precipice and unable to stop it when he drew my clit into his mouth and sucked.

My hips jerked, and his fingers dug in, holding me still as I came against his mouth.

“Fuck, that’s it,” he growled.

I’d barely recovered when he stood and moved behind me. He banded his arm around my middle and lifted me so my feet were on top of his. Like this, I was forced to lean forward, causing Draven to support my weight fully. He took himself in hand and rubbed the head of his cock along my slit from behind.

I quivered, desperate for him. “P-please.”

“Never need to beg me to fuck you, petal.” He slid into me with a groan.

I gasped, lifting to my tiptoes as I spasmed around his long, thick cock.

“Watch,” he said again. “Watch what you do to me, Iris.” One of his arms was across my chest, between my breasts, and he gripped my shoulder, the other moving so it was across my hips.

As soon as my hands rested on his forearm, he slid free and slammed back in.

“Oh god.” He went so deep, and there was nothing I could do but take it. My eyes drifted closed.

“No, open your eyes. Look at yourself,” he said harshly, then he took me, thrusting into me with force.

I did. I opened my eyes and gasped. My hair was wild and my face was flushed. My breasts were full, nipples taut and dark, and my inner thighs glistened from my need. I was wild in my hunger for him, pushing back against him with each of his brutal thrusts, my body begging for more, and Draven was answering, giving everything to me.

No, this didn’t feel like punishment. There was no resemblance between what Draven and I were doing and what Brody had done to me. This was about giving and receiving pleasure, not taking, not inflicting.

There was no pain, no hatred. I felt powerful.

Draven moved faster, harder, his face twisted with…god, with violent pleasure. The same thing he was giving to me. The same thing I saw on my face.

“You see?” he growled, his hand moving to my throat. He pressed his cheek to my cold one, his eyes meeting mine in our reflections. “Do you see it, Iris?”

I whimpered. “Yes.”

“I want to be all you can think about, all you dream about. I want you to wake up craving me and go to sleep sated after letting me give you everything you’ve ached for during the day.”

Oh god.

“Do you understand now?” he gritted out against the corner of my mouth.

I nodded, panting, so close.

His other hand went between my thighs, and he rubbed my clit. “Now let me feel you come. Come for your mate.”

I ignited, coming for him a second time.

Draven made a sound that was raw and animal and pulsed inside me, pumping me full of his seed. His wild growls and snarls filled my head, sending my release higher.

He dragged his mouth over my skin, anywhere he could reach, as he finally slowed his thrusts. We stared at each other in the window, something moving between us that felt new and wonderful and terrifying all at the same time. I’d never felt so exposed, so vulnerable. So safe.

He grasped my chin, turning my head, and kissed me, full of hunger and longing, of passion. Then he held my gaze as he carefully eased out and lifted me, carrying me to his bed.

Laying me down, he climbed up beside me, running his hand down my side. “Rest now, because I’ll be reaching for you again soon, petal. I need to pleasure my mate all night. I need to make you feel good.”

I could see in his eyes that he meant it and just how much he needed me. “Is that what it’s supposed to be like when you’re mated? Because I…I’ve never experienced anything like that before,” I said, telling him exactly what I was thinking. He seemed to have that effect on me.
