I grabbed the bottom hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head, my long hair falling behind my shoulders as I did so. Then I unfastened my bra and let it drop, leaving me bare before my mate.
He leaned back, his dark eyes searching my face. “Of course I do, moonbeam.” His hand caressed my face, and I sensed a ‘but’ coming. “When the time comes, I want both of us to bite each other. I want to feel your fangs at the same time as I bite you in return.” Then his gaze darkened as his gaze fell to my lips. “Preferably when I’m deep inside you.”
Hearing those naughty words fall from his lips made me crave him all the more. But then I replayed his words in my mind.
“I can’t bite you back without my wolf.”
He nodded. “And I won’t claim you now. I fear that my bite might trigger your heat. We can’t afford to stay here for five days and… moving you would be difficult.”
My shoulder slumped, and I suddenly felt like covering myself up. The disappointment hit me in a massive wave. Flint wasn’t rejecting me, he was just telling me we needed to wait. But where my body had once burned with desire for him, it now burned with shame.
Sensing my displeasure, Flint leaned in and wrapped his arms around me, nuzzling his face into my neck. “Resisting is hard enough already, moonbeam. Please don’t give me that look.”
I sighed, wrapping my arms around him in return. It felt good to be here in his embrace, even though we weren’t truly safe here. Not by a long shot.
“Sorry I’m so impatient,” I mumbled into his long, dark hair.
He laughed and trailed kisses along my naked shoulder and neck as he reassured me, “I want my mate to be happy, and I’m glad you finally recognize me as yours. We may not claim each other yet, but for now… we can enjoy ourselves. We’re safe enough with Gage and Heath on watch.”
I must have tensed up, because he pulled back again, once more searching my face. My eyes dropped from his, as was normal in the face of an alpha’s stare. But Flint knew me better than that. He knew I didn’t normally drop my gaze for anyone, alpha or otherwise.
“You can talk to me, Freya. What’s bothering you?”
“I…” Flint had always been so open and honest with me. The least I could do was to repay his honesty in kind. No matter how much it might hurt him. “I thought once I realized you were my mate, things would be more cut and dry. But…”
An unconcerned smile lit his face, and I worried he didn’t understand.
“But you still crave my packmates as well. Not just me.”
I silently nodded, wondering how he could sit there so calmly. His wolf had chosen a broken half-wolf, half-witch hybrid as his mate — a disloyal one, as well.
“My wolf doesn’t mind, nor do I.”
I blinked in surprise, staring at him in shock.
“What… You’re an alpha. Alphas don’t share.”
He shrugged. “You’re different, Freya. I’ve always known it. Maybe that’s why you feel the way you do. I believe that one day, when your wolf makes her appearance, she’s going to choose more than just me as her mate.”
Before I could argue with him, he leaned forward and covered my mouth with his. The kiss was hot and unhurried, and he smoothed his hands over my shoulders as if to reassure me that all was well. That he would wait for my wolf before he claimed me if necessary… and that he would accept it if my wolf choose multiple mates, mind-boggling as that was.
He gently pushed me back onto the blanket, his body covering mine. The weight of him felt so good against me, and I moaned as soon as he pulled back to kiss his way down my body. His hot mouth left a trail of heat down my body in the cold autumn air. When he reached my pants, he pulled them off of me, taking my underwear with them.
Although Ironwood hunted me, I felt completely safe doing this here with him in the middle of the wildlands. He would protect me no matter the cost… as would his packmates.
And now that I knew Flint truly didn’t mind whatever might happen between me and them… I felt freer than ever to enjoy the moment, and embrace what may come.
As soon as he got my pants off, his ravenous mouth began devouring me. I did my best to stifle my moans. Bad enough that the scent of my upcoming heat might lead enemies to us — I didn’t need to help them along with extra clues as to my whereabouts.
I canted my hips up, hoping Flint would take the hint and give me more. But he pulled away and stood up so he could take off his own pants. His eyes raked over me lying in wait for him, his burning gaze so intense it was almost a caress in itself.
“I can’t get enough of you, moonbeam,” he whispered as he settled his weight over me once more.
Nestling between my hips, he nudged the crown of his cock against my wet opening, his eyes questioning, as if he believed I could ever turn him away.
I smiled at this amazing man who gave me more than I ever asked for. Then I wrapped my legs around his hips and used my heels to urge him on. As he pushed into me, stretching me open, we both let out a moan of ecstasy.
I briefly worried about needing to be quiet, but then his mouth came down on mine, and we both muffled the other’s cries of pleasure as we drove one another to greater and greater heights. Flint’s hand caressed my side, down to my hip, then twisted to press between us. The angle wasn’t the best, but he made it work, curving his fingers just enough to push me to even greater heights.
