“Fuck,” she said, her voice gritty. “Fuck, Levi, I’m so sorry.”
She removed herself from his cock and retreated toward the bathroom. Levi remained laying on the bed, his cock still at attention, but his chest stinging like he had been stabbed by a fire poker.
Hannah returned to his side, urgently wiping at the blood with a paper towel and preparing some bandages and ointment. Levi smiled, watching her concerned eyes scan his body for any more injuries.
“What?” Hannah said harshly.
“So this is why you don’t fuck humans, eh?”
Hannah breathed in deeply, patting his chest. “Generally, no,” she said. “Shifters have a lot of … zeal, I suppose. Sex is where a lot of people get to lose control, happily. But I can’t with you.”
Levi noticed a look of sadness flash in her eyes but then sparked almost immediately. She stood from the bed and looked over at the bedroom door.
“Wait,” she said. “I have an idea. Do you own any ties?”

HANNAH
“Do you own any ties?”
Levi was patting himself with the paper towel and gave her a handsome smirk as he considered the question.
She was glad to see that Levi was still smiling but not happy to see how the blood had streamed down his skin and pooled onto the bed. Guilt washed through her like darkness in the night. She helped him pat it dry, all while still feeling the heat emanating between her legs.
Hannah had felt a rush of emotion as she’d climbed on top of Levi, blinding her to the fact he was human and unable to take the strength of her passion. She realized it must be the mate bond that made her forget how easily she could kill him if they fucked.
But Hannah had felt him inside her for a brief moment, and there was no way she was giving that up. His scent overwhelmed her, taking away any sense of rationality. Her hunger for him was truly fateful.
“Like, for suits?” he inquired.
Hannah bit her lip and then stood from the bed. “Yes,” she said, feeling her heart pick up the pace.
It took Levi a second to connect the dots, but when he did, the man’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
“Damn,” he whispered. “You’re really bad, aren’t you?”
Hannah was ecstatic. She ran out of the room and into his room, approaching the closest with an excitement she hadn’t felt in years.
“They should be on the left,” Levi called from the other room. “Hanging next to the jackets.”
Hannah had barely any time to realize that she had opened the closet door that existed solely for suit jackets, ties, and dress pants. It was wider than any closet she had ever seen, and she imagined that he owned an incredible walk-in somewhere.
She whipped four ties off their elegantly placed hangers, one red, one jet black, and two ocean blues. She ran back into the room and closed the door with her hand behind her back.
“I don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier,” she said, casting her eyes downward. “But I think we can do this if you restrain me.”
Hannah watched as Levi sat up on the bed, his cock still hard and mighty. She let out a low, rumbly moan at the sight of it, eager to get back to feeling him inside of her.
“If you feel okay with that,” Levi said, a look of excitement mixed with compassion shooting across the room at her.
There was no way she would be able to resist him. Not only was he her fated mate, but he was gorgeous, even with his smaller frame and spectacles. His eyes called to her like a lighthouse across an ocean, and his body throbbed desperately for her touch.
She came to him slowly and then tossed the ties into his lap. He looked like he had just won the lottery.
“Tie me up, baby,” she said. “Make sure it’s tight, so I can’t get out and devour you.”
Hannah felt her desire purring inside her and had to hush it for a moment before climbing onto the bed. She tried to ignore the musk rushing up to her nostrils as she lay on her back, spreading her arms to meet the bed posts.
