Never one to turn down a challenge, Cassidy stretched out next to him, pulled his head close, and kissed him. Shards of lust instantly rippled across her body like nothing she’d ever felt before. Zach must have felt the same thing because he cupped her face with one hand and pulled her hips close to his. When his hard cock pressed against her stomach, she sucked in a breath.
He leaned back. “Am I going too fast?”
How could he think that, especially since she’d initiated things? “No. I was surprised at the size of your cock, that’s all.”
He reached between them and grabbed it. “This little thing?”
She cracked up. Never would she have guessed that Zach had such a good sense of humor. Granted, her grave situation hadn’t been anything to laugh about.
“Maybe I misjudged its size. Let me finish exploring that delicious mouth of yours, and then I’ll take a closer inspection at what you’re offering.”
He grinned. “You are going to be fun.”
CHAPTERTEN
Zach couldn’t believe his luck. His wolf had changed positions about one-hundred times when he was guarding the front door, because he knew his mate was but a few feet from him. In a bed. Possibly not wearing much.
Then when Cassidy had taken a shower, Zach had been tempted to go into the bathroom and ask if she needed help washing. Of course, his moral code had prevented him.
Zach had been desperate to make love with her, but he wanted to be certain that Cassidy was ready. Now he knew.
She cupped his face. “Earth to Zach. Are you okay doing this?”
Doing this?“Are you kidding. It’s all I’ve been dreaming about. Cassidy, we are mates."
"I know."
She knew?Halleluiah. "I want to make love with you more than anything, but I wanted you to be sure.”
She grinned. “How about kissing me like you mean it so I can decide?"
“Is that how this is going to be? One challenge after another?”
“Is there any other way? I need to keep you interested,” she said.
“Trust me. I’m totally captivated.”
The moment Zach pressed his lips to hers, his cock thickened and hardened. Every werewolf response associated with being with a mate manifested itself. Needing to be careful with his sharpened teeth and nails, Zach lightened up on the pressure. Not being in control of his body was hard to deal with. He could hope that with time, his intense reaction to Cassidy would lessen.
When she opened her mouth to let him in, he nearly lost it. He swore the moment their tongues touched, his bones cracked just like when his body was getting ready to shift. This was his dream come true. She was his mystery woman. Only she was real and not a figment of his imagination. Cassidy was sensual yet tough, sweet yet determined.
She rolled onto her back, pulling him on top of her. Zach rested on his elbows to prevent her from experiencing his full weight. When his head returned from being in the clouds, he planned to divest her of his sister’s loaned T-shirt, which he had to admit looked hot on Cassidy. Right now though, he was floating so high from the kiss they were sharing that he wanted to continue the experience for a few more seconds.
Cassidy wrapped her hands around his back, and her fingers danced across his scar. He held his breath waiting for her to be turned off by it, but she lifted her chest and then wrapped her legs around him. Love bloomed as excitement raced through him.
Zach had to break the kiss before he completely lost it. He swallowed hard. “I think it’s only fair that since I’m naked that you should be too.”
“I was beginning to think you didn’t want to see all of me.”
She had to know that wasn’t true, but he figured she liked to tease him. “Let me take a peek at what I’m getting myself into.”
Zach rolled off her and lifted her T-shirt. The moment her tits appeared, he had to close his eyes to compose himself.
“Is something wrong?” He swore she was laughing at him.
He opened them. “Do you know how hard it is for a man to be with a woman as gorgeous as you?”
“I have to say that I don’t know.”
