We've come a hell of a long way in a short time. I lean my head back against him, letting him take some of the weight from the past few days away from me. His hands slide over my hips and then make their way up my torso. His fingertips graze my breasts before moving away again. Everywhere he touches, my skin catches fire.

"Tess," he sighs my name.

The sound of my name does something to me, my body arching harder against his even though the unfortunate height difference keeps it from being as satisfying as I would like. I want to feel him against me.

I turn in his arms and grab his shoulders to pull his mouth down to mine again. His tongue traces my lips, teasing me instead of kissing me properly. I'm having a hard time understanding all the girls I used to overhear talking about how they wished their men were more into foreplay. Here I am wishing Dominic would hurry along to the main event.

He makes me feel shameless. Bringing out the wolf in me in the worst way.

Dominic turns his head slightly to rest his cheek against mine. "Do you have any idea all the things I'd like to do to you? I'm going to need the rest of the world to cut us some fucking slack for a few days so I can break my mate in properly."

His words make me whimper. Despite my lack of experience, I can imagine a lot of things I'd like him to do to me, too. I have a very vivid imagination.

"I want you to do all of it," I tell him with a confidence that he helps bring out in me.

He picks me up easily. It's a good enough reason not to let myself resent our size difference too much. Dominic easily crosses the last few steps to the bed and then tosses me. For a few seconds, I fly through the air, my heart leaping into my throat, and then I land on the bed with a few solid bounces.

"You really have to stop doing that," I tell him throatily.

"Never," he returns vehemently. "I like that you're small enough to bounce all sexy like that when I throw you on the bed. I'm going to spend the rest of our lives reminding myself that one of the things that made me want to turn away from you is actually one of the sexiest things in the world."

Good. We don't actually want him to stop anyway,my wolf points out.

We really don't, I agree with her easily.

I look up at Dominic through my eyelashes. "Well, are you going to join me or what?"

"In a minute." He stays at the foot of the bed where he simply stares at me. "I'm just taking it all in while we have a moment to breathe. " He breathes in a long inhale. "Goddess, I'll never get over how good you smell."

I return the favor, breathing him in deeply as he finally joins me on the bed, climbing over me and encasing me with his body as he pins me in with his arms planted on either side of my shoulders. I never understood everyone's obsession with my smell before, but I kind of get it as I sniff Dominic. I like the way he smells distinctlymine.

Dominic kisses me, soft fleeting kisses that feel more about grounding us both than about anything else. It's not enough for me. I try to wiggle my lower body against him, but he's holding himself up slightly too far away.

A frustrated sound escapes my throat as I put my hands on his back and try to pull him down to me all the way.

"You want this," he says, not at all a question. Of course I freaking want it. I'm practically begging for it.

He still takes his sweet time. Moving one arm, he teases down my body with the backs of his fingers until he reaches his cock. Then he fists himself, stroking the length once with a groan. I'm just as mesmerized as last time watching him. I don't think I could ever get sick of the sight of his cock in his own hand. There's something incredibly sexy about knowing he's touching himself because of me. Catching him actually getting himself off has left me with a bit of a kink for it.

Dominic's patience seems to be wearing as thin as mine. He lowers himself so that the weight of his body presses me into the bed, making the mattress sink slightly under our combined weight. It's time for a replacement, but that will have to wait. I don't care if we break the whole freaking bed if it means he'll give me what we both so desperately need.

He aligns his body with mine, skin sliding against skin. And then he stops.

"Tess." He looks so serious all of a sudden.

"What?" I ask, desperately trying to hold myself still as he taunts me with his cock poised right at my entrance.

"Promise me you won't do things behind my back again. We're a team. If you get up in the middle of the night, then so do I." The intensity in his eyes is so compelling that I nod dumbly even as I'm still digesting his words.

"I promise."

Finally, he moves his hips, pushing into me easier than last time now that I know what to expect. My body is more relaxed for him, welcoming him back to me. My eyes drift closed as he works his way into me.

"Hey. Eyes," he grunts.

My eyelids fly open at the reminder.

"That's better." He bends his head to kiss my mark, warming me from the inside out. It's a possessive gesture, exactly the kind of thing I'm starting to appreciate. I can't believe I ever thought I could go through life without a mate. The idea holds no appeal now that I know better. I finally understand why mating is a tradition that's carried over into modern shifter culture.
