his tongue over the tip of her hardened nipple. “Very enlightened.”
Savage desire pulsed through him, his cat brushing against his skin with the need to savor the heat of her desire. He suckled her nipple before using the edge of his teeth to pleasure her.
“Do you want me to tell you about the things I’ve discovered I enjoy?” he asked, his lips pressing a trail of kisses to her other breast.
She gave a low groan, restlessly stirring against the quilt. “I think already knew that you enjoyed this,” she choked out.
Ice grasped her hips, holding her still as he kissed the underside of her breast before heading downward. He intended to make a banquet of her, tasting and biting until she was screaming with the force of her orgasm.
“I didn’t know that my day could be brightened by the sight of a particular female,” he murmured, scraping the tips of his elongated fangs against the tender flesh of her stomach. “Or that her smile could make my heart miss a beat.” He slid his hands beneath her legs, tugging them apart so he could settle between them. “Or her scent send my cat into a frenzy of need.”
She shivered as she tilted her head to watch him with glowing eyes. “You aren’t the only one frenzied.”
With a chuckle he turned his head to nuzzle the soft skin of her inner thigh. “Good. But it’s more than that.”
“Is it?” she breathed, clearly struggling to concentrate as his lips skimmed toward the sweet center of her pleasure.
“Yeah.” He sucked in a deep breath of her intoxicating musk. Hunger blasted through his body even as he fiercely leashed his need. “Suddenly I want to share dinner with the pack just to watch you with your friends. And I’m starting to plan the house I intend for us to share.”
“Share?” Her fingers clenched in his hair as his tongue lapped through her moist heat.
“With a lush garden where our cubs can play,” he continued.
Her eyes widened, but before she could respond he grasped her hips, tilting her to the perfect angle. Then, settling on the mattress, he lapped at her cream.
“Ice,” she breathed, arching beneath his relentless onslaught.
Ice savored her sweetness, dipping his tongue into her sweet little channel. “Tell me that you’re mine.”
She made a strangled sound of pleasure as he stroked back to the top of her clit. Reaching down she tangled her fingers in his hair. “We can talk later.”
He chuckled, finding her tiny bundle of pleasure to suck between his lips. When her hips bucked off the mattress, he lifted his head to meet her smoldering gaze. “Say the words.”
She groaned, roughly tugging at his hair. “Later.”
He could scent her nearing climax, his cock twitching in reaction. “Now,” he growled.
“I’m yours,” she breathed.
He continued to taste her luscious cream. “Again.”
Her grip on his hair eased, her fingers gently touching his face as if sensing the importance of this moment.
“I’m yours, Ice,” she murmured with a blunt simplicity that soothed his inner doubts.
“And Rage?” It was impossible to halt the question.
She grimaced. “I told myself it was easier to seek a male who was more a friend than an alpha. I thought my cat was too dominant to accept a mate who challenged me.” She traced the curve of his lips, her face softening with an emotion he never dared to hope he would witness. “But thank the Goddess, I was wrong. What I need is you. Just you, Ice.”
“Yes.”
Joy rushed through him as he bent his head, intending to taste her climax on his tongue. Cammy, however, surged upward to grab his shoulders.
“Wait, Ice.”
He froze, his cat on instant alert. Had he done something wrong? Had she changed her mind? “What?”
Her eyes blazed a hunger that matched his own. “I want you inside me when I come.”
A growl rumbled deep in his chest even as raw relief shuddered through him.
“Yes.” With a last, lingering lap of his tongue, Raphael surged upward, claiming her mouth in a kiss of stark possession.
For years he’d fantasized about having this female in his arms. In his bed.
Now he was so desperate to make love to her, he wasn’t sure he could leash his cat. He was quivering with the need to impale her with his aching cock, pounding them both to a swift, explosive orgasm, but he was acutely aware that this was their first time together.
Didn’t females like it soft and romantic?
“Tell me if I’m too rough,” he murmured, settling on top of
