“Will it hurt?” I search for the truth. “I don’t want to die.”
“Not the way I want to do it.” He lifts his hand. “And we don’t have to…We don’t have to have sex, if that’s what you want.”
“But you’ll still mark me, won’t you?”
Sadness flares for a second in his eyes. “Yes. My mark will show my claim. No other male will touch you. Not unless you want them to.”
“Unless I want them to?”
“Don’t worry.” He swallows hard. “I won’t force you into my bed, Meira.”
My throat tightens. The thought of being in his bed fills me, just like the lightning floats in the sky over the valley. Do I want that? Do I want to belong to him that way?
My heart clenches tightly, answering for me. “What do I have to do?”
His eyes widen for a second before he steps near. I flinch as he lifts his hand. The movement is automatic. Still, that doesn’t stop him from wincing. “Turn around and sit.”
Turn around and sit? I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t that. “Can’t you just bite my hand?”
A sad smile crests his lips. There’s a slow shake of his head. “It doesn’t work like that, unfortunately.”
“Then how does it work?”
“Turn around, Meira. I promise, your wolf will lead the way.”
I stare into his eyes, finding nothing but compassion and desire, and finally put my trust in him, turning around to give him my back. I sink to the ground, crossing my legs. I gasp as he moves. I become aware of him…intently aware of the close proximity of his body to mine. The way he towers over me and then drops to the ground.
I remember Kinley’s story, how her mate helped her wolf cross. Maybe this is what I need…Help to release my wolf and no longer be an outcast.
“Hands on the ground in front,” he orders.
My heart lunges. Still, I do as he instructs.
His fingers brush the hair from the back of my neck before he leans close. Warm lips meet my flesh. I close my eyes with the contact and try to remember to breathe.
Thunder growls overhead as he presses his chest against my back. He pushes against me, making me lean forward until my hands take my weight. I rise up on my knees as he hunkers down above.
He is so gentle…so incredibly gentle and yet there is nothing soft about him. He’s all power, all Alpha. The heat of his body melts into my spine, easing that constant ache in my body. His lips trail down, sliding over my shirt to press on my back.
“Mother have mercy,” he growls, his voice husky.
My wolf moves closer. The sound of her soft, padding steps in my mind mingles with the heat of his body. A snarl slips from my lips, rumbling in the center of my chest before I realize it’s there.
“That’s it,” he whispers. “Come to me.”
I hunker down against the warmth of the stone. Heat radiates from within me, pooling between my thighs and spilling outward. Electricity dances across my breasts, making my nipples tighten as Dušan kisses the place beneath my ear.
“You ready, Meira?” he murmurs against my ear.
I don’t register a word, don’t realize a thing as he grinds his hips against the curve of my ass. Fangs graze that soft flesh behind my ear, unleashing a surge of arousal. I moan and drop my lower body to the ground.
Dušan follows me, bracing most of his body with his shoulders as he pins me down. There’s a slow nip, playful and teasing. I curl my fingers as my wolf pushes closer. Raindrops smack the mountain with a hiss. The sky is alive, blazing neon white, and in the electric glow, my wolf lunges, driving herself higher.
With an unmerciful growl, Dušan bites down, sinking his fangs into the back of my neck. The orgasm comes out of nowhere, barreling on top of me as I grind my body against the stone. Pain slashes my palms, but the sting is gone in an instant as I feel my body shift.
Desire swallows the roar inside my head. Still, Dušan holds on, not letting me go. A shiver races along my arms until warmth moves in.
Dušan bites harder. There’s no pain, no terror, just arousal, and as the neon glows of lightning dulls, he releases me…and pulls backward.
