“But—”
“I wantyou,Rowan. More than I even want to breathe. If that means one day you’re going to trample all over my heart when you find your mate, then so be it. I can take it.”
The truth in his words held strong as he looked into my soul, and I felt the rest of my walls shatter into a million pieces as someone finally picked me for the first time.
ChapterTwenty-Four
This time I kissed him, stepping on my tip toes to reach his mouth, all the emotions I had been harboring inside spilling out. It started slow, until I nipped his bottom lip and he let out a low growl, his chest rumbling under my hands as I explored. He pushed me against the tree harder, nudging his knee between my legs, pressing up against my molten core, and I moaned into his mouth at the contact. It wasn’t enough. I neededmore.
I yanked his shirt up and over his head with little resistance, my hands hungrily running across his bare torso. I’d seen him shirtless more than a few times, but this was different, and I relished every moment I got to touch him.
“Fair is fair,” he murmured as his hands roamed my body, making quick work of my shirt, throwing it into a crumpled heap on the forest floor. He deftly unhooked my bra with one hand, while the other worked on unbuttoning my jeans. I’d never hated being a girl more than I did in this moment.Why do we wear so many clothes?
The forest was silent around us, the darkness enveloping us like its own dirty little secret as we fell into our passion. Finally freed from my jeans, I tried to fumble with his, but his hands gripped my wrists in an iron hold as he yanked them above my head, pinning them with one hand to the tree as he put his knee back between my legs. “Not yet. I am going to do everything I wanted to do to you that night.”
His free hand came up to grip my breast, and I arched against his hold, only increasing the pressure of his knee. He dipped his head, taking a nipple expertly into his mouth.
“Callan,” I moaned, bucking my hips against his knee shamelessly as he continued his torturous exploration of my body. My wetness was slick against his thigh, my underwear completely soaked through. “Please.” I was begging, and I gave zero fucks. I needed more, needed him inside of menow.
He chuckled against my breast. “Patience has never been your strong suit. Let me teach you.”
He let go of his hold on my wrist and I thought I’d finally get my wish, but instead his mouth descended back onto mine. I lost myself in the kiss, whimpering as his hands explored my breasts, then down towards my aching center but never quite making the contact I yearned for. Frustration built in me as he stoked the flames inside me, building up to a crescendo that couldn’t quite spill over.
“Callan!” It came out more of a yell than I meant it to, and I felt his devilish grin against my neck as I was pretty sure he made a hickey. I used to hate it when my piece of shit ex left me hickeys, but with Callan, I couldn’t care less. It was a mark of ownership, and I wanted to be his.
He made a torturous trail down my chest, pausing briefly in places that made me absolutely squirm with need under his attention. He dipped until he was eye level with where I wanted him most, and I almost wept with relief when he slid my underwear down my hips. Strong hands gripped my leg, and I squeaked as he lifted it over his shoulder, leaving me completely open, the chill night air doing nothing to appease the fire. My back pressed into the tree for support.
“You have no idea how long I’ve been wanting to do this again,” was all he said before he dove straight in, his tongue expertly circling my clit as I moaned. It wasn’t long before I was on the edge, writhing against his face as he worked me closer and closer to climax. Just as I was about to explode, he pulled away, gently setting my leg down and rising to his full height.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” I complained, a horny rage I’d never felt before exploding inside me. His hand shot out, quick as a snake as he wrapped it around my throat, squeezing with just the right amount of pressure as he brought his face to mine, pushing me into the tree as he controlled my breathing.
“Patience. The next time you get to come, it’ll be around my cock.” That shut me right up, and the self-satisfied smirk that toyed at the corner of his mouth made me want to simultaneously smack him and ride his face into oblivion.
Men.
I wasn’t one to be outdone. I gasped, pretending he was squeezing too tight, and his eyes widened as he loosened his grip. Taking advantage of the distraction, I gripped his hips and pivoted until his back smacked against the tree, the shock palpable on his face. “What are you doing?” he demanded, but he didn’t stop me, and I knew he was strong enough that he could have.
“Patience.” I threw his words back at him, my hands already sliding his jeans and underwear down. I dropped to my knees as his rock-solid cock sprang forward, pausing briefly as I took it in. I’d seen it a few times given our shifter nature, but this up close and personal, it wasbigand I questioned if it would even fit.
But I was not a quitter.
I took the head into my mouth, swirling my tongue expertly before taking his hard length as far into my throat as I could. He relaxed into the tree, his eyes watching my every move as I bobbed and sucked. His hands came to tangle in my hair, the soft pants he was letting out driving me wild, spurring my enthusiasm as I sucked him off.
Just when it seemed like he was getting close, I reached a hand up, gripping his balls with a firm pressure as I relaxed my throat, taking him even further than I thought I’d be able to. He let out a loud groan as I tightened my grip with my hand, my tongue teasing around his cock as I deepthroated him. I squirmed, squeezing my legs together with my arousal.
“Don’t stop, don’t stop,” he urged me as he threw his head back, lost in the pleasure I was giving him. His hips surged forward, hands gripping tightly in my hair, and I knew he was close. With a satisfying pop, I let him fall from my lips as I stood back up, his hands sliding from my blonde tresses as he growled in frustration.
He grabbed me, whirling me back around until my back was against the tree, both of us fully exposed in our nakedness beneath the moonlight. His emerald eyes were hooded, clouded with lust as he drank me in.
“I was going to be gentle with you, but not anymore,” he said, his hands coming behind me to grip my ass as he hauled me up with ease. I had no choice but to wrap my legs around him, my arms circling his neck as he slammed me back against the tree, the bark biting into my skin as he lined up to my entrance. A sudden thought struck me.
“Wait, don’t we need protection?”
He paused. “We aren’t mates,” he said, and pain ripped through my chest as I remembered. Fertility didn’t work for shifters until they’d met their mate. I shut my eyes against it.Stay in the moment.My arms tightened around his neck, pulling him in for a long kiss that had me writhing against him.
“Please,” I whispered in his ear, giving the lobe a gentle bite.
“Fuck,” he groaned, pushing against me with a renewed sense of urgency. He teased the head inside, and I moaned, biting my lip as I stretched to accommodate.
