“Cold?” I murmured.

“Yes,” she said, wrapping her arms around herself.

“You won’t be for long,” I said before stepping out of my trousers. They were too expensive to just leave on the floor like that, but I didn’t care. Celeste’s happiness was priceless.

I put my knee on the bed and crawled over to her. “Alright, sweetheart. Take the rest of it off for me.”

Celeste swallowed again, her cheeks getting pinker, but she did as I’d asked, reaching behind her back to unfasten her bra and shrug out of it. I took the moment to appreciate how nice her breasts were. I admired the way they moved as she lifted her hips, hooking her fingers into the elastic waistband before wiggling her way out of her underwear as well.

Then she lay there, a splendor just for me. “That’s it,” I crooned, aware of the little shiver she gave, but my sense of smell told me that wasn’t just from a chill. The scent of her arousal filled my nostrils, and I had to take a moment to steady myself. Patience was key—this wasn’t about me. Not today.

Getting onto my knees, I nudged her thighs apart and sat between them, taking a moment to simply bask in her beauty before I gave my next instruction. “Prop yourself up on the pillow and lean back,” I murmured, nodding to the nest of softness behind her.

Celeste readjusted herself, piling a few of the pillows against the headboard to prop herself up a bit more. I gave her a wolfish grin. “Now, do not look away from me, Celeste,” I said, sinking lower while pulling her thighs closer against my body. With one swift movement, I had sunk to my belly, lifting her knees to hook over my broad shoulders.

I glanced up through my dark lashes. Celeste’s cheeks had turned a deep shade of red, but she was still doing just as I’d asked. Her silver eyes stayed on my face as I tipped my head to one side, kissing up her thigh. My nose grazed against the crease of skin where thigh met body, but I didn’t give in. Instead, Iturned my head to the other side and repeated my ministrations, grinning as she squirmed.

“Do you like that?” I asked against her soft skin.

“Fenris,” she sighed, one hand reaching my hair. She kneaded her fingers, gently scraping her nails against my scalp. If I weren’t so aroused, I’d have found the action relaxing.

“Yes?” I said, leaning away so we could lock eyes.

A tiny whimper escaped her lips, but she didn’t say anything, and when I raised my eyebrow, she bit into her lower lip. I tried to smother my grin as I turned my head to bite her knee.

She yelped. “Hey!”

I smirked. “Good girls get rewards. Naughty girls don’t.”

Celeste stuck out her lower lip in a pout. “Fenris, please.”

“Pleasewhat?” I asked, tipping my head to one side. “I couldn’t possibly know if you do not ask me, sweetheart…but I am happy to give youanything, if you would just say the word.”

She took a shuddering breath as if she had to brace herself to speak. She whispered only a jumble of words. I shook my head, and she sighed, but straightened up and tried again. “Fenris, please…please use your mouth on me,” she whispered.

I beamed. In time, I would teach her she never needed to feel self-conscious with me, but it was still a step forward. “Of course, my darling girl,” I said. Before she could say anything, I put my mouth exactly where she wanted it, bracing my hands on her inner thighs as I lapped against her outer lips.

Celeste shuddered, her muscles tensing and quivering at once beneath my fingertips. I would have grinned if I wasn’t otherwise occupied, but I was all but drunk on the scent of her. I rumbled deep in my chest as I lapped at her, teasing for a few moments before I shifted slightly and flattened my tongue, moving slightly northward to worship her clit.

She whimpered again. I could still feel her hands in my hair, but…I pulled away for a moment, out of breath, as my eyes met hers. “I want to hear you,” I growled.

Celeste bit her lip. “There are people all over your mansion.”

“So? It’smyhome, and you aremyfated mate. It is my duty to make sure you know just how much I value you. It is none of their business, and they know that.”

She swallowed hard. “But Fenris—”

“Oh, Celeste,” I sighed despite the small grin on my wet lips. “You really are giving me no choice.” My expression now turned downright wicked. “I’m just going to have to take you apart, piece by piece.”

Celeste’s eyes went wide, and her mouth made anOshape. She licked her lips again, but no words came out, and I pulled myself away from where I’d been worshipping her. Venturing further up the length of her torso, I kissed swells and dips of skin, memorizing each mark and little freckle. I paused to nip at one of her breasts, and she gave a startled yelp, but her fingers curled further into my scalp as she tugged on my hair.

“Good girl,” I purred, pleased to hear her voice. I paused and flicked my tongue over the offended nipple, rumbling deeply against her as she groaned. This time, she squirmed, pressing her hips up against mine. The brief bit of friction against my erection gave me pause. Until this moment, I’d managed to ignore most of my arousal, but I suddenly became starkly aware of how trapped I felt.

I pulled back, controlling my breath, and rose back to my knees, gently pushing Celeste’s hands out of my hair. As she gave me a confused look, I nodded toward the headboard. “On your knees,” I said, nudging her.

It was neither a suggestion nor a request. Celeste’s eyes flashed with understanding, and she rolled over without hesitation, as though I’d given her an alpha command.

Heat prickled on the back of my neck as she settled on all fours, and I had to adjust myself before losing my underwear altogether. The cool air of the room was just enough to settle things for a moment, and I moved closer, tracing my fingertips over the back of her thighs. She shivered.
