His eyes darkened as he looked at me, and his jaw tightened making the muscles in his cheeks flex. I explored his dick with my hands, marveling at the velvety soft skin and how hard it was. I bit my lip, fighting the urge to check it out. Instead, I maintained eye contact, watching and learning him just like he’d undoubtedly learned me.
“I love it when you say my name,” I told him, pumping his cock. “Fuck my hand. Show me how you’d fuck me. Imagine you’re inside me.”
His eyes were mostly gray as I spoke, and his chest rose and fell. His body was like steel against my skin. He cupped my cheek, pulling my head closer until his mouth was level with my ear.
“Pearl.” His throaty growl turned me on, but I was determined to help him find pleasure. His hips thrust up, his cock sliding in and out of my hand with strength I couldn’t believe he had. “I’m fucking you, Pearl. Can you feel what you do to me? Do you know how much power you have over me?”
My fingers tightened at his words, making him groan. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as his cock jumped. Warm liquid spurted as he pulsed, moaning my name as his hips pumped upward.
Once done, Rylan pulled me to his side, tucking me close to him. My left arm rested on his chest, the swirling silvery marks shimmering in the soft sunlight.
“How long has it been?” I asked, fingers tracing random patterns on his skin.
“All night and most of the day,” he answered, voice gruff.
“You’ve been here the whole time?”
“Yes.”
I wanted to ask why, but I bit my tongue. The past night and day were hazy, but I did remember our brief conversation before the heat overcame me. It took me a stupid long time to come to the realization that Rylan was my mate. Looking back now, I could see the obvious signs I’d just chosen to ignore.
My arm tingled pleasantly, like it was satisfied with everything that had transpired. I closed my eyes, soaking up the feeling of being where I was supposed to be. Rylan’s chest rumbled with contentment, sending me into a light doze.
I was roused when Rylan shifted underneath me, keeping me close.
“You okay?” I asked sleepily.
“Of course,” was his quick reply, and I couldn’t help but feel that he wasn’t being entirely truthful.
“Rylan.” I moved my head so I could see his face.
“I’m being summoned,” he finally admitted, shifting again so he could rest his head on his hand. The height helped him look down at my face.
“By who?” I wondered, hiding my annoyance at his almost lie.
“My cousin,” he gritted out angrily.
“What does he want?” I hadn’t heard any announcements, not that I would remember if it happened during the past day or night before.
“He wants to talk about strategies for the Gala.”
“Strategies?” The Gala was a party. What strategies could there possibly need to be?
“It may be a party for everyone else, but for the alphas and their betas, it’s far more complicated.”
I thought it over for a second. I hadn’t been to the Gala in years. I’d been avoiding it because I knew that Rylan would be there, and I wasn’t looking for a mate or a quick fuck. This year would be different though. I had a mate now. This could be an opportunity to reveal just what I had become.
“Seems perfect,” I mumbled, wondering if the Moon Spirit had orchestrated all of this.
“What’s perfect?” Rylan’s eyebrows scrunched in confusion.
“To reveal what I am.” I left out the part where he wasthealpha that would replace all the others. I didn’t know how, but Rylan would unite the packs under his rule. That was a lot of pressure that I didn’t want to burden him with.
“Reveal whatweare,” Rylan corrected, reading me like he knew what I had been thinking.
“Did we…”
“No, I didn’t think you’d want that since you wouldn’t remember it.”
