He pulled back and looked in my eyes. “I do. For everything. You’re amazing and perfect and I’m just so damn lucky to be your mate.” My cheeks heated up and I averted my eyes. I wasn’t good at receiving compliments. Shane cupped my face and turned my head up. “Don’t you hide from me. You’re mine, forever, and I won’t ever let go of you.”

I rose to tiptoes. “I’m counting on that.”

His mouth crashed against mine.

SHANE

The momentmy lips touched hers, I was lost. She moaned against my mouth and I felt her body shuddering with the same electric jolt that had run through mine. Fuck, I had to have her. I angled my head and claimed her mouth, pushing my tongue through her parted lips. I wanted to kiss her, I needed to taste her.

I wrapped my arm around her waist, and still kissing her, still tasting her, I pushed her back in the direction of the bed. We stopped kissing long enough to pull her shirt over her head and throw it to the side, then, noticing the bed was right behind her, I pushed Raika until she fell on the mattress.

I crawled over her.

She clasped my shoulder and pulled my body to hers so I was spread over her, pressing her down. She moaned and I dove, taking her mouth with mine.

She moaned and I groaned. Fuck, I loved all these little noises coming from her. My erection grew harder hearing her moans. I was ready for her, so ready, but I wanted to make this last. I wanted to devour her, to taste her, to explore every inch of her body.

I slid my mouth from hers and rained a trail of kisses down her jaw, her neck. Her back arched and then she surprised me. I didn’t even notice her hands had traveled south until she slipped her fingers around my groin.

“Oh,” I groaned as she closed her hand around my hard-on. Pumping up and down, making me dizzy and achy and needy. My body thrummed, and all I could think was that I needed more. More of this. More of her. More. Now.

She tightened her grip, and I bit the soft spot between her neck and shoulder. Her movements became faster and harder and I couldn’t take anymore. Groaning and cursing, I pulled away.

Frozen, she stared at me with big eyes.

I leaned down and brushed my lips on hers. “If you keep that up, this will end sooner rather than later. And I want later. Much later.”

Raika smiled that beautiful, unhindered smile that only she could offer me. I smiled back at her before crawling out of the bed.

Again, she watched me, lust and desire stamped in her beautiful blue eyes. I grabbed her ankles and yanked her to the edge of the bed. Swiftly, I pulled her pants and panties off, and knelt before her.

“Oh, oh,” was all she said.

I placed a small kiss on her knee and made my way up, and all the while she squirmed and gasped. I bit back a smile. She buckled once I met her center, my tongue running over her clit. Then she stilled. I did it again, and again she buckled. I put pressure on her clit and slid my finger inside her—she stilled again. Fuck, she was wet and tight and ready. I slipped another finger inside her and started pumping fast and hard. Raika buried her hands in my hair and I groaned. Loving her reaction to me, I sucked on her clit. Moaning, Raika arched her back—and froze. Two seconds later, she was shaking uncontrollably.

With a satisfied grin, I crawled over her.

I tugged her to the middle of the mattress and rested my body over hers. She greeted me with a lazy grin, and I chuckled before taking her mouth with mine. She gasped as I plunged my tongue past her lips and claimed her for myself, but she didn’t stop me. Oh no, she parted her lips and opened her mouth wide, giving me full access.

I positioned myself between her parted legs. She broke the kiss and sucked in a sharp breath as I slid inside her.

“Oh …” she whispered as I buried myself deep and stilled, delighted in her tightness, her wetness, and how fucking glorious she felt.

I started moving. Slowly at first, savoring each rub of her on me. It was too much and it still wasn’t enough. With a growl, I pounded into her, taking from her as much as I could. Raika arched her back, and I wound an arm around her waist, keeping her close to me. I grazed my tongue across her mouth, her chin, jaw, shoulder, and down to her breasts. I clasped a hand around one while I slid my tongue along the curve of the other. Raika moaned, arching her back more and more. Like she had done before, she buried her hands in my hair and held my face against her. I teased her, flicking my tongue around her breast, then her nipple, all the while thrusting into her, hard and deep. Raika cried out, telling me all I needed to hear. I sucked on her nipple, then opened my mouth and took as much of her breast as I could. She cried out again.

Shit, she felt so good, so tight, so wet … and the sounds she made. I wasn’t sure I could hold on much longer.

Surprising me, Raika pushed on my shoulders and rolled us over. She straddled me, her hands on my chest, her torso straight and her head thrown back, her hair a dark wave on her back. She started moving. Up and down, up and down, up and down. With each stroke, she went deeper and deeper, and seeing her over me like this, looking like a sex goddess, it made me hot and crazy and needy.

I closed my hands around her waist and helped her as she went up and down, up and down, keeping in rhythm with her, taking her even deeper. Then, Raika slid her hands from my chest to her thighs, up her stomach and to her own breasts. She clasped them and pinched her nipples, letting out a raspy moan. Shit. Oh shit, this was the sexiest thing I had ever seen. And she was here, with me. I was inside her.

I felt my climax building. Truth was, it had been building since she first entered this side of the bedroom.

With a growl, I wrapped my hands around Raika’s upper arms and pulled her torso down until it was flush against mine.

“I want you right here,” I said, as I slid my hands back to her hips and held on tight as I lifted her a little.
