CHAPTERSIXTEEN
Barbara and Tristan left, and Sara couldn’t stop looking at Rhett.
“If I’d only not freaked out about the mating bite, none of this would have happened,” she admitted, feeling like a fool.
“If I’d only have controlled myself and not given you that bite, none of this would have happened.”
“I guess we both did something stupid,” she said.
“No!” He rushed over to her, pulling her into his arms, and she let him.
It felt so good to rest her head against his chest that it was a real effort to remember why she’d been upset with him in the first place.
“Sara, I’m sorry I did something that upset you, but I can’t say I’m sorry that I claimed you. Especially if it in any way helped to wake your wolf.”
“Because you prefer me as a shifter?” she asked, pulling back to look at his face.
“No! Because you were going to be attacked by Bryce’s lynx while you were weak from casting your spell. He could have really hurt you, but your wolf came out to protect you. That is what I’m most thankful for.”
“I suppose that is something,” she mused. Looking at her handsome mate, she could hardly remember the anger she’d felt just a day ago. That human part of her that was offended is gone, and now her wolf just told her, of course, he should have claimed me.
Even this morning, when she’d kicked him out, her wolf had protested. She had been completely against it.
And now her wolf was done being pushed to the back, done allowing the witch and the human to have center stage. Now, her wolf was going to claim what was hers.
“What is it?” Rhett asked, looking at her closely. “Is something wrong?”
She shook her head. “Come with me.”
She walked him to her bedroom, pulling off her clothes as she did. He undressed too and kissed a path down the valley of her breasts to her stomach. His tongue dipped into her belly button before continuing further south to the juncture between her thighs.
“Oh!” she moaned, her legs falling open. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our reunion,” she said as his tongue landed on her clit. She fell back on the bed, and her fingers tunneled through his hair, her hips rocking up to meet each swipe of his tongue.
He licked and kissed and sucked her clit into his mouth, driving her toward her climax. The second he slid two fingers deep inside of her and began moving them in and out of her, her orgasm crashed over her and sent her zooming off to the stars.
Just as her body was coming down from its high, Rhett positioned himself between her legs and palmed his cock.
“I want you, Sara,” he said, pressing his cock against her entrance.
“Take me. I’m yours,” she said.
He drove deep inside of her with one quick flick of his hips. Once he was fully seated, balls deep, he stretched her arms above her head and began slowly pumping in and out of her.
“I want you forever. I want you to be my mate by choice, not by force.” His voice was thick and heavy.
Her wolf shouted inside her head, demanding that she make her claim on this man.
“Yes!” she cried out, using her newfound shifter strength to flip him over. She settled on top of him, riding him as she bent over to touch her teeth to his collarbone.
Do it! Now,her wolf shouted in her head.
She didn’t resist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and struck as fast and as hard as he had. As she did it, she reached the most intense climax she had ever felt.
Her entire body shook, and her limbs trembled. More pleasure than she had ever thought possible crashed over her. But it was more than just the pleasure. Something inside of her clicked, opening a whole new world. She saw her future with Rhett flash before her eyes. Everything that she had ever wanted out of her life now appeared in her mind, shocking her to her very core.
It’s the mating connection,her wolf said. He is ours, and we are his. Forever!
Sara’s heart filled with that knowledge as she leaned over to kiss him, and he returned it.
