“What? No way. You didn’t put Nana or me in danger. That guy is the only one responsible for his actions. He’s a grown man who chose to drive all this way, stalk me, and then kidnap me. Do you realize how insane that sounds?”
Mason shrugged. “Well, you see, in the shifter world, that’s not so weird. We are pretty territorial.”
“No kidding,” she said.
It took him a few seconds to realize she was teasing him. Surely, if she was teasing him, it meant she still loved him and that she would be willing to become his forever mate. It was a good sign because his woman was always teasing him.
That’s what had given him the idea of mating her tonight in the first place.
“Your heart’s always been howling for attention, Lila. Only I could hear it, and now that I’m in your life, you never have to be sad again. I will make your life happy for as long as you let me.”
“And that starts tonight,” she replied.
“Yes, it starts tonight.” He pushed her shirt over her head. “It actually starts right here, right now.”
She trembled, her skin breaking into goosebumps under his touch. She was always so responsive to him. She was always so into exactly what he was doing to her. It didn’t matter if he was using his tongue, his fingers, or his cock. He always knew exactly what his mate was thinking.
He made quick work of her bra and pants. The scrap of lace that covered her mound was the only thing he left on her. She stood before him, almost completely nude. He cupped her sex, feeling the moisture on his palm. Of course, she would already be wet in anticipation.
“You’re ready for me, and I haven’t even touched you.”
“Yeah, well, you do that to me.”
He chuckled and pointed to his erection. “Right back at you, darling.”
She reached out and palmed his cock. He enjoyed the touch, but he pulled her wrist away. “Trust me, darling. Pulling you away hurts me way more than it hurts you.”
“Doubt it,” she huffed.
“You want me to go fast?” He kissed one breast, letting his tongue lick the curve. He took his time getting to her nipple. She groaned in frustration when he finally closed his mouth over the nub. He tweaked the other with his fingers, and Lila arched into him.
He took his free hand to dip into her panties. He slipped his fingers between the wet folds until he found the pearl of nerves. He flicked across it and didn’t stop until Lila’s legs began to shake. He pulled her down onto the bed and dropped to his knees in front of her. He buried his face in her core, laving her clit with deep, long licks.
It didn’t take long for her legs to shake all over again. Her breath was panting out of her between gasps of his name. He could see from the flush on her breasts and across her face that she was close to the edge. She would come all over his tongue soon, and there was nothing he wanted more than to feel that pussy clench his cock.
It wasn’t time for that. Not yet. He wanted to make Lila dizzy with orgasms. He continued to lick her, tasting her sweetness. He dipped one finger into her entrance and then another. He pushed in and out of her as he continued to toy with her clit.
Lila’s body trembled as her pleasure increased, and soon enough, she was clenching his fingers and crying out his name. Mason licked her through her release, relishing every second of it. Lila lay back, satiated and boneless. He covered her body with his.
“You’re mine,” he said against the soft curve of her neck.
“Yes, and you’re mine.”
“Lila, I’m going to mate you now.”
She nodded. The look in her eyes was enough to nearly send him over the edge. He leaned over and kissed her, delving his tongue deep into her mouth, touching everywhere, possessing every inch she would give.
And if she was letting him mate her, then she would be his forever. Tied to his very heart and soul as it was always intended. “I love you, Lila. Let me show you how much.”
Taking his erection in hand, he gave himself a pump up and down before positioning himself at her entrance. He slipped deep inside, letting the moment sink in. The head of his cock was inside his mate, and soon, he would make her his forever.
“Lila,” he groaned, slowly plummeting inside her little by little. He groaned again when he bottomed out, letting himself sit deep inside her for a few seconds before rearing back and slowly easing in again.
Lila was panting under him, asking for more speed.
“Shh, darling. Shh. I’m making it real slow.”
“Too slow, Mason. Too slow.”
