“How can I help?” he asks, knowing what I need before I even ask.
My pulse throbs as I look at him, and I realize that there’s a very specific way he can help me out.
“Bite me,” I whisper.
His eyes widen, but he hides his surprise under a mask of humor, a smile quirking at the corner of his lips. “There was a time that could be taken as an insult,” he teases.
“Don’t make fun of me,” I drawl, dragging my hand over his pec. He exhales a sharp puff of breath at the sensation; I know he’s turned on by my scent, his knot already swelling at the base of his hard cock.
“I mean it,” I say.
I move to straddle him, and Elijah’s lips part when I settle myself over him. My hair is down and lies in dark honey curls around my shoulders and down my back, and he raises his hand to toy with the strands. I take that hand though—the hand I bit months ago, which still has a little scar at the edge—and I run my lips over it.
“I think back then, part of me knew,” I whisper, “even if I still didn’t understand what was really happening.”
“And now?” he says.
My heart hammers in my chest as I think about what I’m going to say next. “Well,” I say. “The first time, it was because I wanted you. But now, I think I actuallyloveyou.”
“You make it sound so awful,” he jokes, a single canine biting into his lip. It’s already hard enough to keep my composure, but when he looks like that…
I roll my eyes.
“Keep messing with me and we’ll see if I want to do anything aboutthis,” I purr, rubbing myself against him.
Elijah groans, then in one fluid motion he’s flipped me over to pin me against the bed, his arms on either side of me and his cock pressing at my entrance. I can’t help the whine of need that slips past my lips, the chemical, instinctive drive to mate him overwhelming all else. But he holds back, and sobers as he keeps me still.
“I’ve always loved you, Sunshine,” he says, then drops his voice. “Charlotte.”
He kisses me, still settled over me, his hips in the cradle of my thighs, and I grind against him. In these first days of heat, it’s like my body is desperate to feel him inside, and I hook my leg desperately around his waist to yank him closer.
And I know I wantonly him—that this bite will allow me to feel him like a second soul living in my mind and body, that it will claim me as his and him as mine, and that we won’t have to worry about anyone else trying to come between us…
Not that anyone could.
“Bite me,” I ask again, my voice high and breathy and begging.
Elijah pulls back, leaning over me once again, brushing his fingers over my pulse. And then I’m wondering ifI’mthe one who should be askinghim, and I open my mouth to say something but he puts a finger to my lips before gesturing at his own neck.
“Right here,” he murmurs. “But not too deep.”
I bite my lip, feeling him swell against me. I nod.
“Yes,” I breathe.
His fingers move from his neck to my face, trailing down my cheek and over my lips.
“I hope you realize that, after we do this, we’re not getting out of this bed until your heat is over,” he growls. There’s a hint of hunger there, of savage promise. And I nod again, licking my lips.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” I say.
Elijah ducks his head against my neck, the tip of his nose meandering along my sensitive skin. His cock is still pushing against me, his hips rolling like he can’t quite get them under control, and then I feel his sharp, wolven teeth in that place just over my pulse, where it’s like all the love I have for him has concentrated in a tense bundle of nerves. And I do the same, lapping at him with my tongue and making him groan.
I wanted to do thisso badlythe first time we made love in the moonlight. Even when I didn’t know who I was—or who he was at all—Iwantedthis. I breathe him in, spicy and delicious andmale, and then I can’t resist.
I need to mark him.
I’m gentle with the bite, and Elijah’s chest heaves as he moans against me. The head of his cock slides just an inch inside, and I don’t know what he’s waiting for, I have to have himnow—
