remotely compare to you. I can't fucking believe that I’m blessed enough to have someone like you as a true mate."
Red edged along the side of my vision, but I forced it to recede. She didn't need jealous caveman asshole right now, she needed me to acknowledge and understand her feelings.
I could do that for her.
"You have no equal, Ruby," I said. This was an absolute truth for me. "And I will never take for granted the blessings I’ve been gifted. Not for one moment of my very long life."
Her eyes grew watery, as they did whenever someone expressed any true or strong emotions in regard to her. Justice didn’t expect to be loved or cherished; it always took her by surprise.
Something I planned on changing.
Needing her not to cry because it felt like someone punched me in the chest, I traced my hands along her sides, lightly caressing her skin. My tongue skimmed in the same way until I reached the junction of her thighs. I nudged my way between her legs, even as she playfully pretended to keep me out by tightening her thigh muscles on either side of me.
My laughter sent fans of energy into her and she moaned, her thighs falling open, exposing her wet center. "Well," I drawled, "what do you know? Ruby everywhere after all."
"You already knew that," Justice shot back.
I wrapped my hands around her, fingers flexing against her soft skin. "It's something that should be double checked," I murmured, staring at the perfection before me. "Or triple checked.” I paused, leaning down to lick one long line from the bottom to the top, holding her still as she moved against my mouth. "I’ll probably continue to check." I licked her again and she cried out, both hands landing in my hair, tugging at the strands. "Over and over and over." I sucked her clit into my mouth, swirling my tongue around it, and this time when she wrapped her thighs around me, she was preventing me from pulling away.
She didn’t have to bother; I wasn’t going anywhere.
"Jacob," she said breathlessly, and I knew she was teetering on the edge. I'd felt her lose control before and already recognized the signs in her body.
My fingers entered her, one and then another, as my tongue continued to slide over her clit, moving faster as she bucked against me. When she came, crying out my name, I didn't stop. I wanted every last ounce of pleasure from her.
I wanted everything.

Could you die from an orgasm?
Like, I legit needed google or a friend to ask, because this was not normal. Most of my life, orgasms had been from my hand or a vibrator … fast and simple. Awesome and fun for a moment and then it was over.
It wasn't like that with Jacob. We hadn't even had sex yet, and already I was a twist of pleasure and need. I could feel it from my toes all the way to the top of my head. The orgasm had stars flashing in black and white across my vision.
Jacob groaned against me, and the vibrations from his mouth were enough to almost send me over the edge again. I was so sensitive, so needy, so into Jacob.
Once again, the stuff of romance novels.
“Jacob…" I tugged on his hair, attempting to pull him up to me.
As the strands jerked tight in my fingers, his eyes went super dark. Maybe my mate liked it a little when I did that.
"I need you to make love to me now," I finished, tugging on his hair again.
Unmovable bastard didn’t shift. He leaned down to run his tongue over my clit one more time, and my eyes basically rolled back in my head as I tried not to scream. The next orgasm was already hovering close, and I really wanted him inside when it happened.
"I'm ready," I said, my voice soft. "I know you're worried, but don't be. I've never wanted anything more than I want this with you."
This time when he lifted his head, I had to give myself a second because he was so fucking beautiful. This land he'd brought me to had a low warm peaceful light. That glow surrounded him as he crawled his way up toward me.
I tried to figure out how to keep my breathing even, but my damn heart rate … he’d be able to hear it pounding like a rapid drumbeat.
"If at any point you want me to stop," he said seriously, holding his
