This is Vince. My mate. This is Vince. My mate. I repeat the thoughts over and over, trying to calm myself.
When I finally turn around, my fingers brushing along my throat, I see Vincent’s massive form on the brink of losing control. His silver eyes pierce mine with an intense, primal need and his fists clench tight. His shoulders and chest heave with every breath as a low growl rumbles through his chest. He’s a beast in need. He needs me. I brace myself and swallow thickly. I can do this. I need to give him this. I get down onto my knees and face away from him before lowering my shoulders and head to the ground and parting my legs for him.
Vince
Veronica bows that beautiful body. She presents herself to me as a mate in complete submission, and my wolf howls in triumph. My tightly clenched fists push my body off the ground as I slowly stalk toward her.
Go easy, I warn myself. Go easy on her. I fight for control.
My hands stroke slowly down her back, causing her to shiver before gripping the flesh of her ass. I barely contain my need to pound into her. Moving my hips behind her, I lower my head to trail kisses down her shoulder. With my forehead resting on her back I choke out the words, “Tell me to claim you.” Her thighs clench and the sweet smell of arousal overwhelms my senses as I groan in blissful agony.
“Claim me, Vince.” At her words I pound into her welcoming heat to the hilt and still. Feeling her tight sheath pulse around me, I ride through her orgasm, pistoning ruthlessly into my fierce mate. She steadies herself as she whimpers, taking every forceful blow of my body. My fingers dig into the soft flesh of her hips as I pound into her, over and over. A cold sweat forms over my body. Her moans and trembling body have me growling and my spine tingling. But I’m not ready to come. I’m not ready to give this up. I flip her body over and immediately bite into the tender flesh of her breast, never letting up the brutal pace of our fucking. Taking her nipple into my mouth, I suck while my other hand digs harder into her hip as I slam into her welcoming pussy.
I savagely kiss up her throat and lick that delicate, pulsing spot in the crook of her neck. My claiming spot. Mine. My mate. Ecstasy is all I can feel.
My fingers find her swollen nub and I wait for her body to tremble and her pussy to throb with need. The tingling settles low in my spine and my limbs go numb as I near my climax. She shouts out my name with her release and I slam into her and still as I fill her with cum and clamp my teeth over her flesh. The tang of her blood fills my mouth, but I don’t release. I feel myself pulse as her pussy milks every drop of cum from me. Cum drips down her thigh and onto mine. My wolf howls in victory of claiming our mate and it fills me with pride and a sense of completion. My heart settles with deep satisfaction. My mate, my other half—she’s truly mine, now and for forever. After a moment to calm my breathing, I lift my heaving chest off of her small body and smile down at my mate. But the sight of her is nothing like I expect and concern quickly fills my now hollow chest. Her eyes are red with bloodied tears and her body is shaking.
“Baby?” I lean down to pick her up to soothe her panicked body, but she flinches and stumbles back, scrambling to put distance between us. My blood heats and my heart drops as I swallow thickly, trying to understand. Her chest rises and falls chaotically as her dark eyes penetrate mine with fear. “What’s wrong, baby?”
She shakes her head, but doesn’t break eye contact. “I’m not okay.”
“Okay.” Kneeling in front of her, I gently place a hand on her leg. She jolts from the contact, but I keep rubbing back and forth, letting our mating bond soothe her. After a moment, she calms and I scoot closer to her. “Can you tell me what’s wrong?”
She swallows and her eyes dart left and right before she lowers her head. “Baby, just tell me.” Tears threaten to prick my eyes like a bitch as I realize I was too rough with her. “Did I hurt you?” She adamantly shakes her head and my brow furrows. “I don’t understand. Tell me what’s wrong.”
Her dark eyes finally find mine. “It reminded me.” Her gaze drops to the ground again as shame washes over me. “It—it reminded me.” She doesn’t have to finish. My hand falls as my world collapses, crumbling into an unrecognizable mess.
“It reminded you of—”
“Of why I started hunting wolves … after what one did to me.”
My breathing nearly stops as dizziness overtakes me. Our mating bond. Our claiming. The moment that was by far the most memorable experience of my life, reminded her of … her assault?
“You were raped?” I don’t know how I get the question out.
“Yes.”
My hands on her body brought up traumatic memories of her past. Overwhelming nausea hits me, but I suppress it. Stumbling back, I fall on my ass. She moves to her hands and knees and crawls over to place a hand on my back, telling me, “It’s okay.”
“No. It’s not.” How could I let this happen?
I attempt to cradle her, but she recoils. Shame and guilt overwhelm me. With the pull of the moon, my mind whirls. Barely able to focus.
“What did I do specifically?” I question, and again attempt to comfort her, but she scoots back, avoiding my touch. “I will never do it again.”
“I just can’t. I can’t be held down.” It takes me a moment to feel grounded enough. Did I hold her down? When did I hold her down? I can’t think, I can’t control the shaking.
“How?”
“It’s okay, Vince,” she whispers, not answering my question. It’s okay? None of this is okay. How could she say that?
My stern, hurt gaze finds hers as she tries to comfort me. She’s trying to comfort me?
“Why didn’t you tell me?” If only I’d known. I never would’ve held her down. I would’ve restrained myself.
“I thought you knew. That’s why I need … I have to be in control and it’s okay.” Her voice is soft and full of agony.
What the fuck? “That’s why?” A twisted sickness fills my chest. I thought it was a game. I thought she was just playing with me. I need to leave. I’ve failed my mate in so many ways. I need to think. I need to make this right.
