“Mine,” I growled, flicking my tongue against her clit one last time before I went up on my knees.
“Yours,” she agreed, staring up at me with heavy-lidded eyes. A pink blush had spread from her cheeks down her chest, and her nipples had darkened to a deep red. She kept her gaze on me as I stripped out of my shirt. Since I’d gone commando, I was careful with the zipper of my jeans. When my dick sprang free, Calliope leveled up onto an elbow and reached out with her other hand to catch a drop of pre-come with her fingertip. Then she licked the fluid away, and my small amount of remaining control snapped.
I grabbed her hips in my hands and lifted her body toward me as I guided my rock-hard cock to her entrance. Notching the tip inside her tight heat, I held still when she breathed, “You’re so big.”
“Don’t worry, baby.” I gentled my hold and stroked my thumbs over her soft skin. “You were made to be filled by me.”
“I know,” she whispered, her plump lips curving up in a smile of pure feminine satisfaction as the hint of fear drained from her eyes.
“I’m on board with waiting until you’re ready to have babies, but I want to take you bare. I don’t want anything between us,” I rasped as her wetness bathed the crown of my cock.
“Won’t that be super risky?” she asked.
“I’m not sure how much you know about shifter senses, but my ability to scent is unrivaled by anyone else in the pack.” My nostrils flared as I pulled her scent deep into my lungs. “And I can tell you with complete confidence that you aren’t ovulating yet.”
“Oh. Wow. Um…” she trailed off as she wiggled her hips. “Then my vote is that we go bare because just the little bit of your dick that’s inside me already feels incredible.”
I didn’t want to prolong the pain that would come from taking her innocence, so I slammed my cock into her tight sheath, burying myself deep before I stopped. Calliope tensed beneath me, and I bent low to kiss the tears off her cheeks. “I’m sorry, baby. It’ll be better soon. I swear.”
She gave me a jerky nod, and I held still until her muscles started to ease, and she wiggled her hips. “It’s starting to feel good already.”
“Yeah?” I asked, trailing my mouth down her neck to nibble at her pulse point.
Her walls loosened their tight grip on my hard length. When I angled my hips back and slowly sank inside again, she gasped, “Uh-huh.”
“I want this every single day for the rest of our lives, Calliope,” I grunted as I thrust back into her.
“Yes, me too.” Her nails dug into my shoulders, her hips lifting off the mattress to meet mine. “Tane, please…”
“So fucking tight. Perfect,” I groaned as I buried my face in her shoulder while I pounded in and out of her pussy.
Her inner walls fluttered around me. “So perfect that I’m already so close.”
I lifted one of her legs and brought it over my shoulder so I could get even deeper. Then I slid my hand between our bodies to circle her clit with my thumb. “Are you going to come for me, baby?”
“Oh, yes,” she breathed.
I pumped in, hard and fast, my gaze locked on her face as I watched her orgasm build. Her eyes were hazy, and the pink in her cheeks had deepened. “Do it now,” I urged.
I dropped her leg from my shoulder and wrapped it around my waist as I continued to power into her body. Her heels dug into my ass cheeks, and she lifted her hips to meet me thrust for thrust. Her body finally shook in ecstasy, her pussy clenching around my cock and taking me with her.
I shot so much come into her pussy that our combined fluids dripped down her leg. Our scents mixed, shredding my control past the point of no return. My tiger pushed for control, and my canines burst through my gums. I grazed the sharp edges over her soft skin, being careful not to draw blood. Although she’d given her body to me, I needed to hear her tell me that she was ready to join our souls together too. “I want to leave my mark right here while your pussy is full of my come. You’re already mine, and I’m never going to let you go. But this will complete the mating process so every other shifter will know.”
A glint of fear filled her eyes, darkening them to a golden brown. “I can be a big scaredy-cat sometimes when it comes to pain, but I want to be yours. Please do it quickly so I don’t have the chance to freeze up too much and make it worse.”
