"Harper." She snapped her mouth closed. "You're beautiful. Sexy. And you're all mine."
"I am. Forever." He moved then, his body sort of gliding to her, and she took a step in his direction. When they were only a few inches apart, Harper did something that she'd wanted to do since she'd met him; she ran her hands over his chest to his navel. "You're very firm."
"I am extremely firm, and needy." He put his hand over hers and moved it down to his cock. "You have had me in a state of firmness since I first laid eyes on you."
"I'd like to undress you." He dropped his hand from hers and took a step back. "I'm sort of nervous, if you want to know the truth. I've never...I guess you could say this is a night of firsts for me. I've never made love as a wife. Never undressed a man before. And I even bought a nightie, something I've never thought I'd wear. I wanted to please you."
"You have. All the time, every day of our lives." Harper felt her heart beating harder in her chest as she moved her fingers over his ribs to the button on his pants. "I'm going to try really hard not to rush you, but I've wanted you badly for a while now, so don't be surprised if I take over."
"I don't mind. I'm in love with you, Grady McCade." He kissed her then, a hungry yet gentle meeting of mouths and lips that made her breath catch. "Now, let me try to seduce you. Just don't laugh if I make a mistake."
"Never. And seduce away, love. I'm here for you." She nodded and put her hands on his button again. Pushing it through the hole, Harper was determined to make him sweat a little first.
Chapter 12
Grady held his breath as she worked on seducing him. He could smell her … every part of her body was aroused, and he wanted to toss her onto the bed and take her … he needed her that much. Just when he thought he couldn't take any more, she laid her head on his chest and cried.
"I don't know what I'm doing." He lifted her chin up so that he could see her tear stained face. "I have no idea how to make you want me. How to be sexy. I'm just me, and I'm a failure at even that."
"Do you have any idea how much I love you?" She nodded and smiled at him. "All right, but do you know how difficult it's been for me to just stand here, let you touch me, when all I want to do is take you? Christ, woman, if you were any sexier, I'd be dead right now."
"You're just saying that." Grady pulled her hips to his and rocked into her. "I thought that was the reaction that all men got for a half-naked woman."
"Not a shifter. And not me." He pulled back from her, just enough that he could get his fill of seeing her body. "This thing you have on, did you pay much for it? Does it have any sort of special meaning for you?"
"No." She laughed. "I thought it was pretty, but it was on sale and that was the deciding factor. Nothing much other than that."
Nodding once, he ripped it from her. The silk shredded in his hands, and then he dropped it to the floor. Grady fell to his knees in front of her and did the same to her panties, and then buried his mouth over her hot, heavily scented pussy.
He sucked her hard clit into his mouth and suckled it as he was going to her nipples. Running his hand up her thigh, he slid his fingers into her as he nibbled on her nether lips, fucking her with his tongue. All the while she flooded his mouth with cream, her body rocking into his mouth as he took what she offered. And when she came, her body bowing back, he freed his cock, pulling it from his boxers and fisting himself as she came a second, then a third time.
"Again. Fill me again." Her body responded to his command three more times. She came so hard, so loudly, that he was sure the entire neighborhood could hear. Not that he cared; Grady wanted the world to know that he had his mate. Standing up when she told him she couldn't come again, he lifted her in his arms and laid her on the bed.
Stripping off his pants, he never took his eyes from her. Need was there; it seemed to burn through her to him with every breath they took. And when he was naked, his cock in his hand, he held himself back … he didn't want to hurt her with his need.
"If I come all over you right now, I think I'll be able to make love to you without climaxing the moment I enter you." She sat up and reached for him. "You touch me, love, and I'm going to come. I can hardly hold back as it is."
