“I want to be yours,” I cried out, desperate for him to bring me to the edge once more.

He snarled, his canines seeming to grow, his eyes glowing in the dark as he went for my neck.

I held my breath, waiting, only to hear his teeth ripping the pillow beside me.

I realized it was all fantasy—and he was sparing me from the consequences of making such a decision at that moment. The thought was so sweet, especially knowing what it must’ve taken for him to hold his beast back while in the thralls of passion.

He continued on, pulling back to rock in and out of me, picking up speed with each thrust, pounding me deeper and harder than I had ever experienced before. My vision was blurred from the sheer intensity of it all, but in my haze I thought I saw flashes of his beast—its snarl, its fiery eyes possessing me as his pelvis stimulated my clit just right.

“F-fuck!” I cried out, digging my nails into his flesh as my body tensed, another climax surging through me in waves. Lucian snarled above me, driving into me with animalistic force, grunting as he chased after his own release, his teeth clenched as he threw his head back.

He let loose a guttural roar as his cock pulsed inside me, painting my insides with his hot cum. He continued pumping until I was stuffed full, overflowing with his essence until it leaked down my thighs.

My vision blurred, and I collapsed back, utterly spent, gasping for air, the orgasm still twitching throughout me.

It took some time, but eventually the world stopped spinning, my heart rate returned to normal, and the room righted itself. Lucian relaxed beside me, his cock still buried deep within, a hot thick tether that kept us intimately connected.

My eyes fluttered as I started to drift away. Lucian’s arms wrapped around my body, keeping me snuggled against his muscular chest.

I felt safe, cared for in a way I’d never experienced before. His skin was burning hot to the touch, but I welcomed it. It was like a warm blanket on a cold winter night, with the heat seeping through my bones and relaxing every muscle and limb.

He stroked my hair gently, nuzzling his nose into my neck and inhaling deeply. “Thank you,” he whispered into my ear, then he kissed me tenderly, pulling me closer and pressing my body firmly against his, his cock growing rigid once more. “I’ve been waiting a long time for someone like you.”

I looked up at him, studying his features. His eyes were fixed intently on me, his expression serious, intense. But there was a softness to it, a tenderness that made my heart melt.

“Someone like me?”

He nodded. “Sorry. I know it might be too much. It’s just that hellhounds, we…” He paused, seeming to contemplate whether he should continue.

“It’s all right,” I encouraged.

“Hellhounds… Our beast knows it, when we’ve met our mate. The person we’re meant to spend eternity with.”

“Oh.” I blinked, letting it all sink in. “Wow.”

“You have a choice, though,” he added hastily. “That was why… Why I didn’t take the claiming bite. I would never… Not evenin the heat of the moment. Not until you understood what it all really meant.”

“I appreciate that,” I said softly.

He nodded and continued, “Let’s take our time. There’s still more for you to know. More for me to show you. And, of course, more for you to show me.”

He gave me a playful nuzzle, his cock twitching inside me, a reminder of just how eager he was.

I smiled and kissed him gently on the lips. “Okay.”

He pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly against his chest.

I snuggled into him, breathing in his smoky scent, feeling safe and protected in his embrace. I finally closed my eyes and listened to the steady beat of his heart, letting it lull me to sleep.

Chapter 9

Lucian

The sun was barelyup when I awoke to an empty bed.

My beast stirred, concerned. But then I picked up Zoe’s scent, and I knew she couldn’t have gone far.

I sighed in relief and sank back onto the pillow, content to relax in the soft comfort of her sheets. I curled up around her pillow and breathed it in deep, letting her scent fill my lungs and soothe my nerves.
