We began circling once more. “It’s one thing to know I’m your mate,” I continued. “It’s something else entirely for you to think I’d be okay with watching you live your life with another woman by your side—in your bed. Tell me, Holden, how would you feel if the situation was reversed?”
His jaw ticked, his eyes blazing as he considered my words. I feinted left, then went for another jab to the stomach. Holden blocked the hit, then kicked my legs out from under me. I fell to the floor with a thud, gritting my teeth, but I wasn’t done. I flipped over, managing to wrap my legs around his, knocking him off balance.
He grunted as he fell on top of me, his hands landing on either side of my head to catch himself from falling on me. “You think I haven’t thought of that? Do you think it’s easy for me to consider being with anyone else but you?”
My gut twisted at the thought, and I responded with the only emotion stronger than that heart-wrenching pain. Anger.
With a growl, I knocked his arms out from under him, rolling to the side just in time to keep from being crushed under the bulk of his weight. But he was fast. His hand snaked out to wrap around my waist, pulling me back towards him. I allowed my body to roll with the motion, using the momentum to keep us going until he was on his back with me straddling him.
I landed a punch to his cheek, my breath heaving from exertion and the wild emotions racing through me. I shook my head in frustration. “Then why the fuck are you still playing by the rules? You said it yourself—in real life, there are no rules. Are you the future alpha or not? Do you want your mate or not?”
My hair had come loose from my braid, cascading around us like a curtain as I glared down at him.
Holden’s eyes glittered with anger, but something else was burning behind it. Suddenly, I was all too aware of our positions. Of the way his gaze roved over me. Hungry.
Heat pulsed in my core. I swallowed, my heart racing as Holden reached up and ran a hand along my cheekbone where he’d gotten in a good hit. I froze, barely moving, even as my body ached and throbbed with need. I broke his gaze, glancing between us to his sweat-beaded chest. Lower, to the bulge in his pants.
My breath rushed out, my arms and legs trembling. Holden brought his hands to my waist, my upper body barely covered by my sports bra. They were hot, leaving a trail of fire in their wake as he ran them up my sides, his palms grazing the sides of my breasts, then back down, coming to rest on my hips.
“Kayden,” he breathed.
I should have left. But I stayed perfectly still, staring down at the man driving me wild with desire. In that moment, I forgot all about Branson and my pack, the Contention, and even my fears of what it meant to be Holden’s mate. All that mattered was the two of us, right here and now, and the deep-rooted need that demanded to be sated.
I moved on instinct, my body knowing exactly what to do, even as my mind went blank. I rolled my hips, gasping as Holden’s rock-hard cock grazed my thin athletic pants.
The fire in his eyes before was nothing compared to what blazed now. He gripped my hips tighter, grinding against me as liquid heat pooled in my core.
I moaned, leaning into the sensation and wanting more. I rubbed myself shamelessly against him, lowering my upper body. My pebbled nipples brushed against his bare chest, sending sparks throughout me.
Then his hands were in my hair, pulling me closer, crushing my mouth to his. All my pent-up longing broke through the thin hold I had on my restraint. Like a dam bursting, there was no stopping it. I gave myself over to the fierce demands of my mate, responding with fervor as his tongue delved into my mouth.
It was a clash of lips, tongues, and teeth as we devoured each other. Holden brought his hands to my chest, circling his thumbs around my sensitive nipples, and I moaned into his mouth.
“Fuck, Kayden,” he growled, pulling at the band of my bra. “I need you.” I sat up and lifted my arms as he pulled it over my head and tossed it away, rolling my hips against his hard length as he looked up at me and cupped my breasts.
Then he pulled me back down, crushing me to his chest as he rolled us over. He grabbed my wrists and pinned me to the floor, kissing me hard before working his way down my neck, licking a hot trail between my breasts to just below my navel, where my pants began. I writhed beneath him, aching for more.
“Please.” I was beyond caring about begging.
He looked up at me, a glint in his eyes. “What do you want?”
“Everything,” I breathed.
A low growl rumbled in his chest, and he let go of my wrists and hooked his fingers in the waistband of my pants, pausing briefly for my go-ahead. I shoved my hands into his thick hair and rocked my hips up. “Yes.”
His eyes darkened, and he peeled my pants from my body. I watched his reaction, discovering I wore nothing under them. In a matter of moments, I’d gone from fighting this man to being naked beneath him.
Holden traced his nose along my hip, breathing in my scent. My legs fell open, and his eyes met mine. With a quick flash of teeth, a wicked grin, he settled between my legs, his breath a warm caress on my pussy.
“Holden.” I arched up my hips, needing him more than I’d ever needed anything. When he finally ran his tongue along my seam, I shuddered, crying out in pure pleasure. I’d thought he was good with his fingers on the beach, but that was nothing compared to the skill of his tongue.
He licked, sucked, and lapped at me. My heart thundered, my body pulsed, and sensations ripped through me like wildfire. My orgasm hit me hard and fast, lifting my hips from the floor. Holden gripped them, keeping me in place as he continued to devour me. He slid two fingers into my slick folds, and the orgasm only intensified, taking me to heights I didn’t know existed.
Holden watched me as I rode out my release, and I had to bite down on my lip to keep from screaming his name. The door might be locked, but anyone walking down the hall would easily hear.
As I came down from the most incredible orgasm of my life, Holden made his way back up to kiss me softly. The taste of my juices on his lips only turned me on more. I couldn’t get enough of him.
Reaching down, I cupped his length in my hand, only then realizing how big he was. I glanced up at him, and he smirked, but I quickly wiped that grin away when I slipped my hand inside his pants and wrapped my fingers around his thick, throbbing cock, squeezing.
