and adjusted to lie on his side, while she was on her back. Then he eased his upper body over her, using his arms to brace so their chests were touching.
Darla blurted out the truth. “I’ve never done this before.”
His eyes widened, the green streaks almost overtaking the blue of his eyes. He appeared confused.
“Kissing,” she clarified.
“The male from your planet didn’t tangle tongues with you?”
She shook her head. “Will you teach me?”
“Yes. It will be a first for me, too.”
That made her smile. She licked her lips. “I’m ready.”
He glanced at her lips and tilted his head a little, drawing his mouth closer. Darla closed her eyes.
His lips gently brushed hers, then pressed a bit harder. It felt nice. His tongue lightly teased the seam, and she opened to him.
Gnaw growled low, his chest over hers vibrating as his tongue slid between her lips, and she understood why he had called it tangling tongues. It felt incredible, intimate, and her body responded as she quickly learned to kiss him back.
He finally broke the connection, them both breathing faster. Darla opened her eyes, staring into his—and then he surprised her by lifting a bit and moving down her body. She started to protest, but Gnaw leaned to one side, resting most of his upper body weight on his arm, and cupped her breast with his other hand. He lowered his head, using his lips and tongue to tease her breast, sucking the tip into his mouth.
She grabbed for his head, moaning. That was something new, too. “That feels so good.”
He sucked a little harder, this tongue sliding over the hard nipple. He released it and stared up at her. “I’m impatient. I will show you every pleasure, but for now, I need this. Spread your thighs apart for me.”
Darla did as he asked and he adjusted his body over hers again, putting his legs between her own. She expected him to inch back up…but instead, he slid lower.
“What are you doing?”
He gripped her inner thighs with his hands, pushed them up and farther apart and, to her embarrassment, lowered his head.
She’d heard of oral sex, knew what it was, but she hadn’t expected him to do that. The only time anyone had gotten a good view down there had been during her required trip to see a woman doctor, to verify she was in good health and a virgin, at the age of sixteen.
“Gnaw, I’m not sure if you―”
He spread her down there with his mouth, his hot tongue pressing against her clit. He did this quick rubbing motion, and sheer pleasure caused Darla to arch her back, a cry tearing from her lips. She clawed at the bedding for something to hold on to.
He was merciless when he began to growl, adding vibrations.
He was going to kill her. No way would she survive that much pleasure. It built rapidly as her body tensed more, her breath frozen in her lungs. She couldn’t even think.
Then ecstasy crashed through her so brutally, she screamed out, her body twitching.
Gnaw pulled his face away, and she felt him rolling her over onto her stomach. Her eyes were closed, and she was panting, feeling a bit dazed. He pulled her down the bed, closer to him, until her legs slipped off the edge of the mattress, and she opened her eyes, finally coming back to full reality.
Gnaw bent her over the bed and pressed enough of his weight against her to pin her there. “I will be gentle,” he whispered in her ear, his breath tickling. “Are you ready for me to claim you?”
“Yes! I want you inside me.”
He pressed his lower half closer, and she felt the thick tip of his rod start to penetrate her. He eased in slow. Stopped. Withdrew a little, and then pushed forward again, going deeper. She moaned his name.
“My mate,” he growled.
She twisted her neck a little, pressing her forehead against his cheek. “Yes. Until death do us part.”
“I won’t allow death to take you from me. You are mine forever.”
He drove inside her deeper and started to ride her. Whatever was on the underside of his cock rubbed against her clit. He slid his hands up her sides before sliding them under her chest, and he cupped her breasts. She almost came when he lightly pinched her erect nipples between his fingers.
“It’s too much,” she moaned. “I can’t take it!” The sensations were too intense.
He did it again, syncing his thrusts with his hands. “You will
