“Do it. Come inside me.” She licked her lips. “I feel empty without you.”
Another time and he’d have tried to take it easy. Taken it slow. Not tonight. He’d missed her too much. Wanted her too much. Her scent called out the beast within. In a single thrust, he drove deep. Her pussy rippled around his cock.
“Yesss.”
Her whimper of satisfaction did him in. They locked lips and kissed while the urge to fill her with his seed overpowered all his thinking abilities.
Fuck her. Take her. Mate her.
Thrusts turned frenzied, his movements harsh and uncoordinated. She dug her nails deep into his shoulders. The bite of pain only called the animal to the surface. A growl rumbled in his chest, blending with the sound of her enjoyment. Her nails raked into his hair, and she yanked his hair back, pulling his face from hers. She chose that moment to squeeze her pelvic muscles around his cock.
“Hell!” He choked out.
“Make. Me. Come,” she ordered breathlessly. Passion glimmered in her eyes. Her lips, swollen from his kisses, puffed air out of her mouth.
He rammed her repeatedly. Their gazes locked. The link between them thickened with each thrust, until there was nothing but the two of them. Nothing else existed in their passion bubble. Sliding a hand between them, he rubbed on her slick center and watched her go over.
Pleasure filled her features, and she screamed. For him. The sound was music to his ears. It filled his heart with joy. He snarled. His muscles burned from exertion. The power of his beast turned his body stiff as he closed in on his own release. Fire crackled down his spine, shooting through his cock and releasing into her channel, filling her with his scent. Marking her as his from inside. He jerked into her greedily. Groaning at each suck her pussy did on his dick. With every spasm of her sex, he jerked again. It went like that for long moments. Afterwards, he laid down beside her and hugged her to his side.
Though she’d given herself without restriction to him physically, he scented her withdrawal. It hurt him to not know how to reach her.
“Go to sleep, baby.”
She sighed, snuggling closer into him. “I missed you too.”
Those words…they generated a pressurized ball of guilt inside his chest. Guilt for not being there with her, but still happy she’d admitted to some emotion. He knew they needed to spend a lot more time together before she could trust that he was serious about them.
“I’ll be around more. I promise. Things have been very crazy with Caleb’s pack and the bar.”
“I don’t need promises. I understand. There are other things that need your time. It’s fine.” He heard the skepticism in her voice, but he was a Wolfe. And they never gave up on the women they wanted. Ever.
Karla woke up on a smooth surface. A surface that lifted her up and slowly dropped down. She blinked her eyes open and zeroed in on one of Nate’s nipples. Sexy little things. Without stopping to think about it, she rubbed her thumb over it.
“Keep that up and you’ll be late for work,” he grumbled.
She hid a grin and glanced up. His eyes had that wild look again. And her pussy went Niagara Falls soaked. “I can’t be late. The kids will worry and think something happened to me.”
She crawled up his torso to brush her lips over his. That small contact brought all her hormones to life. Apparently, her body didn’t care about having to go to work. She wanted him inside her again. It looked like her need for him grew with every moment they spent together. That thought had the effect of a bucket of cold water. She couldn’t let herself become emotionally dependent on a man. No matter who he was. Tamping down her emotions, she crawled off the bed and stood.
“I’m going for a shower.”
“I’ll join you.” He grinned, hopping off the bed and flexing those drool-worthy muscles she could stare at forever. “Save water and all that.”
Right. Water. He lifted her into his arms to carry her to the bathroom.
“You know, I’m not a baby,” she complained. “Put me down, I probably weigh more than you.”
“You’re light as a baby. Now quit complaining and let me be romantic.”
She giggled at his demand and curled her arms around his neck. “Fine. Be romantic then, but don’t blame me later when your back hurts.”
He kissed the tip of her nose. “Then I’ll just have to find a way to convince you to give me a massage, huh?”
“I like how you think. This whole carrying me business might work after all.”
She couldn’t believe how attentive Nate was behaving toward her. Even when she got snarky because he was hogging the water, he just tugged her into his arms and kissed her. Heck, he even offered to make her breakfast while she dressed for work.
