By the time the head of his cock hit the back of her throat, he was fighting to keep his orgasm from exploding too soon. She was only able to take in about half his considerable length, so she wrapped a hand around the base of his cock.

He groaned as she began to suck her way up and down, using her hand to massage the base of his cock. The fact that it was his mate giving him this blowjob just added to the tension that tightened every muscle in his body.

“Pull off, sweetheart,” he moaned as his orgasm began to close in on him.

“No,” she mumbled around his cock.

Then she began to hum, which sent him over the edge.

Jefferson began to pulse his hips up to deepen the connection. A moment later, he roared as every muscle in his body contracted. His seed shot from his cock in near painful pulses deep into her mouth.

Tessa continued humming her approval as she drank down every drop. Once his muscles unlocked and he could relax again, he reached down and grabbed a handful of hair and gently pulled her off his now too-sensitive shaft.

“Come up here,” he said hoarsely.

She licked his shaft once more from root to head before placing a kiss at the tip. Only then did she move up to lay beside him once more.

“Yes?” Tessa said with a giggle.

Jefferson slid his hand down the back of her head to wrap his fingers around her neck. Pulling her head down, he kissed her. When he finally released her, he was amazed that his cock was already growing hard once more. It had been years since his body had recovered so quickly.

Wrapping his arms around her, he rolled them so she lay flat on her back and he was crouched over her, a predator trapping his prey under him.

“What are you doing?” she asked, her voice a sultry whisper.

“Returning the favor,” he said with a dark chuckle as he began to kiss his way down her body.

“You don’t have to,” she said softly.

“I love you, why wouldn’t I want to show you?” he asked as he breathed on an erect nipple before licking it.

“You love me?”

“Yes, tigress. I love you. I think I’ve loved you since I saw you standing on the stage in the airport hangar. Though you were scared to death, you didn’t run away and hide. You stood tall and still, knowing someone would help you.”

Tessa giggled at his words. “Actually, I was too scared to move because I didn’t know where the edge of the stage was and I was scared to death of falling and getting hurt.”

“Mmmm…” Jefferson hummed but didn’t say anything further.

His disappointment that she didn’t respond to his words of love was his to bear. It had probably been too soon to share his feelings, but it had felt right when he’d said it. She would hopefully one day express her feelings for him. Until then he would just keep loving her, make sure she was safe, and cared for.

For this moment, he had a woman to love.

Chapter Twelve

“Ms. Dubois, there’s a visitor in the lobby asking for you,” Marla said as she hung up the phone.

Tessa had just arrived back to Jefferson’s office after a session with the therapist Jefferson had found. Devon helped blind people learn to deal with the world after losing their sight. Today, they had walked around the neighborhood using the white cane that Tessa wasn’t sure she liked.

Devon seemed quite impressed with her progress, but Tessa felt like it would take forever to learn everything she needed to survive in this world of darkness.

It had been two weeks since Jefferson had rescued her from the slave auction and claimed her as his mate. Marla still acted cold and distant, treating her as if she were an enemy.

Tessa could not decide if it was because she was human or because Marla had hoped Jefferson would give up on finding his fate-chosen mate and name her as his. Either way, Tessa was getting tired of the ice cold treatment. She just wasn’t sure what to do about it.

“Did they say who the visitor was?”

“No, just that a visitor was asking to see you in the lobby,” Marla responded in a dismissive tone.
