Her hips rolled over my lap, pressing her center firmly over my hardening cock. “What about this?”
“You’re a tease.” I growled.
She jerked back, nails digging into my shoulders and her eyes darkening. “Make no mistake, Cillian. I want you. This isn’t a ploy to calm you down. I’ve missed every aggravating moment with you. Missed the way you say my name and how it felt to kiss you for the first time.” She kissed me softer. “How you make my heart race.”
I’d worried things with us would be different, thanks to the tie she now had to Knox, but hearing her say those words, feeling how true each of them was… It was everything I didn’t know I needed.
“I missed you so fucking much, Dawsyn,” I murmured, pressing my forehead to hers. “Almost to the point of insanity.”
She raised my chin with two fingers and grinned. “Show me.”
That I could do.
My palm pressed against her spine, pushing her closer to me, and my other hand angled her jaw just before my lips captured hers.
She opened for me before my tongue had even slid forward. Her hips ground forward, and I moved to grip the back of her head.
The heat of her body seeped into me, consuming every inch of my soul and more. All I could feel were her hips moving above me and her nails cutting through my shirt. Every thought I’d had before this moment was gone. All that was left was Dawsyn.
My mate. No matter what happened next.
Her teeth scraped over my lower lip, and she pressed her forehead against mine, chest heaving nearly as much as mine was.
“I’m assuming there are no bedrooms in that cave back there,” she said softly, but I could hear the smile in her words.
“Not exactly. Unless you count sheets as walls and blankets as mattresses.” I hadn’t thought that was a problem for me before, but having Dawsyn back in my arms, I couldn’t wait to truly have her all to myself.
She kissed me again, then slipped a hand between us, her fingers rubbing over my erection through my jeans. “We’re going to have to do something about that.”
“There are a lot of things we need to do something about, but not out here,” I said with regret. I wanted her in this moment, but more than that, I didn’t want anyone else to see more of my mate than they should be allowed.
She wiggled over my lap, a wicked grin on her perfect face. “Are you sure? I can be quiet.”
She was fucking killing me. “Even if that’s true, Lykem would have already told people we found you, and I doubt they’ll give us enough time for me to enjoy you like I want to and like you deserve.”
“And people say chivalry is dead.” She tsked. “We’ll make time soon, though. Really fucking soon.”
My dragon swirled inside me. The need to claim her was damn near overwhelming, but until the bond she had to…Knox was broken, that wasn’t going to be possible.
“You’ll need to convince your grandmother to help us first,” I said, gripping her chin between my fingers. “I want you mine in every way, Dawsyn Chase.”
“And you’ll have me,” she promised, kissing me once more.
I held on tightly to her, hoping like hell that was true.
ChapterTwelve
DAWSYN
Between my wolf’s wants and my own hormones, I’d have fucked Cillian right on that rock with no regrets. At least, not at that moment.
As much as I hated to admit it, he was right to tell me no. He wasn’t just some guy I was letting off steam with. He was the only mate I should have ever had. I’d wasted time thinking I needed to be on my own, and now I was paying for that.
Seeing how hurt he’d been over what I’d told him nearly killed me. The pain he’d easily turned into rage was palpable. I’d practically tasted the fire inside him.
Though, there was a deeper part of him that I could sense had been irrevocably changed by everything he’d had to endure this last week—losing our bond, learning he had a brother, his grandmother was a traitor, and his father was alive…
I had a feeling he wouldn’t quite be himself for a while, and understandably so, but I wasn’t going anywhere. I’d be the strength he needed right now, bond or not. We were in this together.
