“Always a yes,” she whispered, her voice losing its power as arousal surged through her.
Devlin teased her nipples with his palms, then squeezed and kneaded at her breasts. When he bent his head to catch a nipple with his lips, Kate moaned, shaking her head as she tried to ride the waves of pleasure Devlin was creating in her body.
As he licked and sucked at one breast, his hand squeezed and kneaded at the other. His soft, warm lips and gently nipping teeth made electric tingles run down her belly where her clit throbbed, begging for his touch.
Kate had begun to feel lulled and lazy under his touch when Devlin began to move downward. He licked a trail down her body, running his hands down her sides and hips. When he settled between her legs, he swept the tip of his tongue across her hot, throbbing pussy, and she shrieked, bucking up and down.
Devlin made a low, satisfied sound as he opened his mouth and pressed his lips to her clit. He sucked on it and swirled the tip of his tongue against her at the same time, and Kate screamed, reaching down to grab his hair as she thrashed up and down. This time the orgasm hit her like a train, shocking her body with so much force that she couldn’t think … she could barely even see.
But I can feel it. I can feel everything in a way I never have before.
When she looked down, Devlin was watching her. His face was soft and gentle, as if he was looking at the most beautiful and delicate thing in the universe.
“I love you,” he whispered. “You are so beautiful, my darling, my love. I never want to stop pleasuring you.”
“I love you too,” Kate answered. She had barely gotten the words out when Devlin plunged his head down again. His tongue opened her throbbing pussy and lapped inside as if he didn’t want to waste a single precious drop of her orgasm.
Kate was so overwhelmed that she covered her face with her hands. Her breath was coming so fast, she was getting dizzy, but she didn’t care. Devlin wrapped his arms around her thighs and lifted her off the bed so he could push his tongue in even deeper, his mouth teasing the wet lips of her pussy while his tongue lapped inside.
Kate shuddered, feeling her entire body spasming in response to another orgasm. She was truly breathless now as Devlin held her hips up off the bed and ate her out with intense focus and fierce, ravenous passion.
When he felt her pulsing against his mouth, he moaned in pleasure, and it made Kate come even harder. She screamed in his arms, but he held her tight and kept lapping at her with his tongue until she fell limp and quiet on the bed.
As Kate recovered, Devlin stroked her belly gently. Kate let her hand drop away from her face and looked up at Devlin. He ran his hands gently over her skin with a look of awe in his eyes as if he wanted to map every inch of her body.
“You haven’t come yet?” Kate asked breathlessly. Devlin looked down at her, his face very serious as his eyes met hers.
“I need to claim you,” he said quietly.
“You’ve talked about that before,” she said softly. “What does it mean?”
Devlin sighed. “The panther has to give you a claiming mark. It binds us together, and it tells others that you are mated, and no one else can touch you.”
“That doesn’t sound too bad,” she said, reaching for him.
He grabbed her hands, looking into her eyes with some urgency. “The panther will take me over for a few seconds. Its claws will come out, and I will mark your hip with a long scratch when I come.”
Kate’s eyes widened. “Will it hurt?”
Devlin nodded, his eyes shining with cold light from his serious face. “Yes,” he said. “It will.”
Her heart throbbed so hard against her chest that her head swam. Devlin’s face softened as if he could sense her reaction.
“It won’t hurt much or for very long,” he said. He reached out with one hand and grazed his fingertip over the curve of her hip very gently. Kate shivered at his touch.
“Don’t you want to be mine?” Devlin asked. Kate’s eyes were drawn to his, and she couldn’t look away. Through those shining portals, she could see his wild, savage soul begging to join with her. It was strength and power but also a fierce need that grew from a terrible vulnerability.
And only I can heal him.
“Yes,” she whispered. “I want to be yours.”
Devlin growled, and for a moment, he was more panther than man. A flicker of fear washed through her as Devlin threw himself down on her, gripping her shoulders in his big hands as he thrust toward her with his hips.
As his cock parted the lips of her hot, wet pussy, Kate sighed with pleasure, relaxation spreading through every single muscle. She was on such a high from the incredible orgasms that a little scratch didn’t seem like much trouble at all … especially now that he was inside her again.
Devlin pulled back, propping himself on his arms so he could look into her face. Kate held his eyes as long as she could until his fierce pace began to sweep through her, making her entire body sing with pleasure.
He kept pounding harder and faster. Kate threw her head back and cried out over and over again as his big, hard cock rammed into her cervix. She had forgotten the promise of the claiming scratch … she had forgotten everything in existence except Devlin.
