Nero had made good on that. He hadn’t left his house but stayed to take care of Val.
“How many times do I have to tell you? I amokay.I don’t need you to take care of me. I can make my own food.”
Nero shrugged. “I told you. I want to take care of you. It’s what you deserve, love. Now, you sit there and enjoy your coffee.”
“I can’t just sit on the porch and drink coffee and tea all day while you make me meals.”
“Sure you can. Isn’t it nice?”
She pursed her lips at him. “Of course. This isn’t exactly what I thought you meant when you said you wanted to take me out on a date.”
“Welcome to the wolf side of life.”
“Much better than the vamp side of life,” she cheered him with her coffee cup before she leaned to his side to kiss his cheek.
He stilled and gripped her knee. His warm palm sent shivers up her spine. “Fuck, Val. You make me crazy.”
“What every woman wants to hear.”
“I want to mate you,” he whispered in her ear. “I said I would be patient and give you all the time in the world, but, fuck, love.” He took the cup of coffee out of her hands and placed it on the ground so he could tug her onto his lap. A shiver of need went up her spine as he held her close.
His eyes studied every inch of her face as his fingers threaded through her hair. “I overestimated my control around you.” Nero nuzzled her neck before kissing her tender skin.
“Nero,” she moaned when his hands tightened on her hips. He brought her closer into his arms until she could feel his erection pressed into her side. His teeth grazed her shoulder, and Valentine could imagine being his mate.
She could see forever with this man.
“You’ve done a lot for me. You’ve saved my family, and you fought for me. Lose control, Nero.” He pulled away to look deep into her eyes. “Mate me.” She didn’t even think twice. She placed her palms on his shoulders and kissed him. Nero groaned into her mouth as his tongue teased her lips. He dug his hands into her hair, tipping her head back.
“I should ask you if you’re sure. I should. But I won’t. I want you, Valentine. Now. Today. Later. For the rest of my life.”
“Fine by me.” She laughed as he carried her to his bedroom.
Nero carefully placed her on the edge of the mattress, but instead of pouncing on her as she had anticipated, he stood back to kiss her forehead, her cheeks, and her neck. Slowly … way too slowly … he peeled her out of her clothes until she was bare for him. Val gripped his belt loop and made quick work of his pants.
“I thought you wore boxers?” she teased as his erection was freed.
“They only add precious seconds before I can do this.” He gently pushed her down on the bed and covered her body with his. His thickness pressed into her naked hip as he positioned himself over her. She arched into him and kissed him deeply. Hands, fingers, and tongues explored.
He flicked her nipple with his tongue, toyed with her inner thigh with the tip of his fingers, he gripped her hips to position her exactly where he wanted.
Right at the core of her.
“Nero,” she cried. “Wha…”
He parted her folds with his tongue until he settled on the very center of her. Her body pulsated with pleasure as he touched every secret inch of her. Nero was her mate, and she was his. He instinctively knew where to touch, where to nip, and where to suck. Valentine was lost in wave after wave of passion. Nero didn’t stop devouring her until her limbs shook with delight. She cried out his name as her vision filled with bright bursts of sunlight.
With Nero beside her, loving her, she was complete.
This feeling of belonging, of deep love … this was what she always longed for.
“Nero,” she cried. “Mate me. Right now.”
He grinned down at her and positioned himself at her entrance. He eased in with one solid stroke and bottomed out, pressing that secret place deep inside her. She arched into him, and Nero growled her name as he eased out. He slid back in slowly, letting her feel each inch. She clamped down on him, desperate to keep him inside her.
“Fucking perfect,” he groaned. “So wet, so tight.”
Val wanted to reply, she wanted to tell him she felt it, too, but she was too breathless. Deep in her body, her release flared to life, leaving no room for words. Only Nero. She gripped his shoulders tightly and rocked against him until she was lost in another wave of pleasure.
