Share Us
Softly biting her lower lip, she nods and I slip into the pool. Luna is still shy, it seems, despite what we shared last night. I reach my hand out and she takes it. Gently, I pull her to me. Placing two fingers up under her chin, I tip her face up to me.
Wide eyes search mine as I lean in and seal my mouth over hers. Our kiss is soft and tender at first, but when she wraps her legs around my waist my control snaps. My inner wolf is ravenous, desperate to touch her, to taste her, to claim her.
I rip my mouth from hers and kiss a heated trail down her neck to the valley between her breasts. I cup one soft globe in my palm, as I close my mouth over the tip of the other. She moans as I flick my tongue over the hard bead at the peak. “Mal,” she breathes. “That feels so good.”
She kneads the muscles of my shoulders as I move my attention to the other breast. I have dreamed of this for so long and I will not waste the opportunity to worship her body.
As much as I want to fully claim her, her scent tells me that she is nearing the fertile peak of her cycle. We have not spoken of cubs yet, and I do not want to assume anything without speaking to her first. But even if we cannot fully mate yet, I want only to give her pleasure. I want her as addicted to me as I already am to her.
Her scent calls to my inner wolf. Desperate to taste her, I lift her out of the water and set her on the edge of the pool.
She looks down at me in confusion as I guide one leg over my shoulder. “Open for me,” I speak softly. “I want to taste you on my tongue.”
My ears detect the quickening beat of her heart as she gives me a small nod. I slide my hands up her inner thighs, parting them and baring her to my gaze. My nostrils flare as I drink in her delicate scent. She is perfect and she is mine, and I want nothing more than to worship her.
CHAPTER16
LUNA
Mal’s eyes remain locked on mine as guides my other leg over his shoulder and then lowers his head between my thighs. I gasp and dig my heels into his back as he drags his tongue through my folds. A spark of intense pleasure ripples through me when he reaches the small bundle of nerves at the apex.
A low growl of approval vibrates in his throat as he begins to feast on me. It is too much and not enough all at once as he teases his tongue over my sensitive flesh. I reach for him, and he threads his fingers through mine as I writhe beneath his attentions.
Nothing exists outside of this moment as he balances me on the razor-sharp edge of desire, holding me there as everything deep inside tightens in anticipation.
His eyes lift to mine and he swirls his tongue over my sensitive flesh, and I fall into blissful oblivion as my release washes through me like a giant wave.
My head falls back and I’m panting heavily, reveling in the small aftershocks of my release when he lifts out of the water and pulls me into his lap, my thighs resting on either side of his hips. His stav is a hard bar between us. I’m completely and thoroughly sated, but I want him. I want everything.
I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing him long and deep. “Want you,” I murmur between kisses. “So much.”
He hisses between his teeth as I roll my hips into his, and then grips my thigh firmly, holding me still. His heated gaze meets mine before he drops his forehead gently to my own. “We should go,” he rasps. “We have much ground to cover today.”
I nod and get dressed. Part of me wishes we could stay here longer. We’ve only been traveling a few days, but I am exhausted. And it feels safe here in our little cave. But I know it is only a temporary safety. We are being hunted and the sooner we reach the border, the better.
Mal shifts into his four-legged form, and I study him a moment as he lowers himself to the ground. He used to carry me often, but for some reason he seems much larger than he was before the war. Even lying down on his belly, the top of his back comes up to my chest.
“What is it?”he asks through the bond, cocking his head to one side.
“You seem… bigger than you were before the war.”
He tips up his chin and puffs out his chest. “I have grown stronger and more handsome too.”
A smile quirks my lips at his boasting. I grip his fur, marveling again at how thick and soft it is as I climb atop him. He carefully rises up and turns to me.“Are you secure?”
I tighten my legs on his back and lean forward a bit, holding on to the large tufts of fur at the back of his neck and shoulders. The warmth of his body suffuses mine as his masculine scent surrounds me. “Yes.”
His powerful muscles bunch and tense beneath my thighs.“Then, hold on.”
He breaks into a run, racing out of the cave and into the forest. The wind whips through my hair and pulls at my form, threatening to rip me off Malak’s back. The cold air burns my lungs with each inhalation, and my heart pounds with the thrill of excitement as we rush through the woods.
Sunlight filters in through the canopy overhead, casting the forest in an enchanting glow. When we were young, Mal taught me to love the forest and to appreciate nature. Being with him like this is strange in a way. As we race through the woods, it is as if no time has passed… as if the past three years never happened and we’d never been forced apart. He pounds the earth with his massive paws as he races through the forest. I haven’t felt this free in a long time.
He races toward a ravine up ahead.“Hold tightly to me, Luna.”
My heart slams in my throat as he leaps off the edge and lands effortlessly on the cliff across the way, not halting in his speed. Excitement thrums in my veins. It’s been so long since I felt this alive, and I release a cry of pure joy and Mal matches it with a sharp howl.
The sun beginsits slow descent on the horizon, lengthening the shadows of the trees. Dark clouds gather overhead, and rain begins to fall, turning the earth beneath us to mud and forcing Mal to slow his pace.
