Page 103 of A Trial By Blood

The monster had wanted to fuck, but now, in the face of my precious mate, learning how I felt filling her while she struggled to take me, all I cared about was making this good for her. She wriggled her hips, working me in another inch with a little gasp that had me holding her tighter. I slid out, then back, giving her a little more.

“Oh god,” she said, her head falling back.

I’d never felt anything like this, like Rose squeezing around me. This was as new to me as it was to her. “You feel perfect, Rose. I never dreamed it could be like this…I never knew.”

“I want all of you,” she said, panting. Her nails dug into my flesh, and she rocked her hips. “Give it to me.”

I was powerless to do anything else. I slammed my hips forward, filling her completely.

A cry burst from her, and she wrapped her arms around my neck tight, holding still.

“Rose?”

“I just…I need a minute,” she said breathlessly.

I locked every muscle in my body, forcing myself to hold still when what I wanted to do was slide out and slam back in. But I’d die before hurting her, so I gritted my teeth and waited.

The smell of blood hit me, and I froze. “I hurt you. You’re bleeding.”

She shook her head and drew a shaky breath. “It wasn’t that bad. This can happen sometimes when a female loses her virginity.”

“Are you still in pain?”

“It only aches a little. It’ll pass.”

I slid from her carefully. I couldn’t bear that I hurt her.

“Ronan?”

And dropped to my knees. A watery trail of blood slid down her inner thigh, and the sight made my fangs tingle and my cock throb harder. I leaned in and lapped it up, all the way to the apex of her thighs. Then I lifted one of her legs over my shoulder like I had before, spreading her delicate folds again, and gently licked her entrance.

She gasped and thrust her fingers into my hair.

I licked her several more times, then pushed my tongue inside her pussy, gently swirling it, and hoped my saliva eased the ache taking her the first time had caused.

The tension slowly left her body, and she rolled her hips experimentally. I hissed out a breath, swirling again. She was so wet her juices coated my tongue. She did it again and my willpower frayed.

“I think…” She rocked her hips back, and I slid my tongue over her opening again.

I squeezed my eyes closed and tried to ignore the urgency of my need.

Her grip on my hair loosened. “I’m okay.” She released a shuddery breath. “You can fuck me now.”

I hissed. “Rose.”

“Fuck me, Ronan. Please.”

I stood and lifted her again, pressing her against the wall. I took myself in hand and brought the head to her tight opening and eased back inside her. A growl escaped, and I fought to go slow. “Rose?”

“I’m okay, Ronan. There’s no pain. You feel…goddess, so good.”

Somehow, I managed to contain my strength at her words. Rose was a shifter, she could take more than a human, but I needed to be careful with her. I slid out and back in, then again. Perfect, Rose was so perfect. I fought my need to take her harder, and my entire body shook from the strain.

She gripped my jaw and looked into my eyes. “You don’t need to hold back. I can take it,” she said as if she could read my mind.

I shook my head.

“I can take it,” she said again and nipped my lip before swiping her tongue over it.
