"Don't apologize." I wink and kiss him softly. "That was amazing. Did you enjoy it?"
Caleb nods silently. His cheeks are flushed pink. "Are you going to claim your prize?"
My breath catches in my throat because I want him. Every instinct I have is telling me to claim him. My cock twitches against my thigh as my body yearns for Caleb's.
"I...don't want to force you into something you're not ready for." I don't know how I managed to get the words out without choking on them. My wolf is practically snarling at me for even thinking such a thing.
His fingers flex against my arm. "You wouldn't have to force me. I want it if you do."
"Really?"
His eyes search mine. "Yes. I know we both had our doubts before, but now...I realize that you're everything I ever hoped for and then some. I can’t imagine anyone else being my mate. I've never felt so strongly about someone before. I just...want you. All of you."
Tears threaten to spill from my eyes, but I bite them back. I thought that being matched like this meant I would never find true love. I thought I would be mated to someone who was only bound to me by duty.
But here he is, proclaiming his feelings for me. And I can't deny him.
Caleb reaches for me, and I melt into his embrace. Our lips meet once more and he slips his hands up to my chest and cups my bare skin.
We kiss for a long moment as I bury my fingers in his hair and pull him closer.
It feels surreal, and yet, there's no denying the way he makes me feel. When he touches me, my body responds instantly. My dick is rock solid, and my toes curl in anticipation. I'm filled with a desire that’s almost painful.
"You feel good," he murmurs against my lips. "So warm."
I can't help but smile. "You feel good too."
He nuzzles against me, rubbing his cheek against mine. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"I haven't done this before..."
Yes! "You'll be fine," I whisper. "Just relax."
We take our time exploring each other fully for the first time. The forest floor is soft and earthy beneath us. The scent of pine mingles with the aroma of arousal.
My cock is throbbing with need as I slip my hand between Caleb’s legs. "Let me show you how much I want you."
He's trembling with nerves as I gently lay him back.
With my arms around him, I pull him flush against me. His warmth envelops me, and I can't resist pressing a kiss to his cheek.
"Wait..." he murmurs through the haze of desire. "There's something..."
Caleb reaches down for something around his ankle. A moment later, he places it in my hand.
"What's this?" I ask as I take it from him.
"This necklace has been passed down through my family for generations," he explains. "I'm meant to give it to my alpha when he claims me as his."
"Oh." I glance down at the necklace in my hand. It's exquisite. The chain has a heart-shaped ruby set in the center, and tiny diamonds encircle the heart. "It's beautiful."
Caleb smiles shyly. "Now, you have to wear it."
I dip my head and let him place it around my neck. The metal is cold against my skin, and the weight of it is surprising. But I can sense the history within it. The fact that he chose to give this to me only heightens my desire for him.
Wrapping my arms around him again, I draw him close. He presses his body against mine, and I can feel the heat radiating from his skin. His erection is straining against my stomach, and I ache to be inside him.
