SHANE
Raika’s mouth on mine,her legs around mine, her chest brushing against mine … she felt like a fucking dream I never wanted to wake up from.
For years, I had watched her from a distance, but rarely let myself think about her this way, to imagine we had a chance. Especially because I had no idea she was my mate.
But she was. Raika was my mate, and when I found out, I was elated. It had been all I ever wanted … but my father would have killed her if he had known. That was why I sent her back to town right after we found out and my father found us. I wanted to protect her from him, from everyone.
I told my mother, though, and she had smiled at me, a true smile, and told me she was happy for me. “She’ll be what you need,” she said to me. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure something out.”
Not knowing what was coming, I held on to that. For five days, I breathed and lived trying to find how I could do her justice, how I could announce to the pack, to the whole damn world, that she was mine and I was hers, and the rest be damned, and still protect her from everyone’s wrath.
Then the world exploded and I thought I had lost all of them. When I was locked away in the witches’ dungeons, I had begged for death to find me. I had wanted to die and be with Raika in the afterlife.
If only I had known she was alive.
No, I wouldn’t think about that now. I wouldn’t torture myself with those thoughts, especially not when Raika was right on top of me, her arms around me, and her mouth on mine.
I kissed her with all the pent-up desire I had for her, and by the moon, it was so much. I claimed her mouth as her scent and her desire filled my nostrils.
Dear moon …
I wrapped an arm around her waist, and without breaking the kiss, swiftly shifted us on the bed. I laid her down on the mattress and lowered myself on top of her. She wrapped her legs around my waist, tugging my ass with the heel of her feet, pulling me closer. I relented, thrusting into her, the layers of our pants doing nothing to hide how much I wanted her.
She gasped against my mouth and it was all I could do not to rip our clothes off and take her right here. I moved again, pressing my hips into hers, and the bed creaked.
We both froze, not even daring to breathe.
I pushed up from the bed slowly and retreated toward the bathroom. If the demons decided to check on Raika, I could hide in there. Not that I wanted to. My will right now was to kill them all on the spot, but I knew that it would complicate things.
But after three tense minutes, no one came.
Raika stood from the bed. She placed her hands on my chest and pushed me back, into the dark bathroom. She closed the door with her foot and locked it with one hand. Only a sliver of moonlight streamed from the tall window above the shower.
“We won’t need to be as quiet in here,” she said, a naughty gleam in her blue eyes.
By the moon …
I advanced on her, claiming her mouth again, my hands already at her pants—I wanted them off right now. Raika helped me push her pants down to the floor and when she was free, I closed my hands around her ass, my fingertips touching the lace of her panties. I picked her up, deposited her on the bathroom’s counter. She instantly opened her legs, and I stepped between them and glued my body to hers.
Raika ran her hands around my shoulders, down my back, and I couldn’t help but shiver at her divine touch.
My mate.
This gorgeous woman was my mate.
I knew fate couldn’t have chosen better for me. In fact, I thought fate was too damn good for me. I didn’t deserve her.
But I sure would try to.
Her hands slid down to the waist of my pants and she deftly undid the button and zipper. Then she slipped her hand inside and cupped my hard-on. My knees buckled and I almost lost it right there. It had been so long, and even then, next to her, to what she meant to me, to how she made me feel by looking at me, I knew things were about to reach a new level.
I couldn’t wait.
Raika moved her hand along my length, bringing fire within me, and my body trembled in pleasure.
“Dear moon,” I whispered before dragging my mouth down her neck, tasting her smooth skin.
I grazed my teeth along her collarbone and Raika shivered in my arms. Suddenly, I had a new goal: make Raika shiver in pleasure several times a day.
