only frustrated her.
Desire saturated his scent, and his cock swelled within his cotton sleep pants, lengthening to press against her core. Yet, when she tried to take the kiss deeper, he gently disengaged.
“Please,” she murmured, following him to nip at his bottom lip.
“Mackenna, I don’t think—”
“I do.”
“But you are—”
“Not as delicate as you think I am.” If anything, she was the one who would need to be careful with him. “I want this, Cade.” She caught his lip between her teeth again, eliciting a deep groan from him. “I want you.”
He hesitated for only the briefest moment before tangling both hands in her hair and slanting their mouths together. His tongue plunged between her lips to twine with her own, the kiss dark and full of passion.
Careful of his injuries, she rested her hands on his bare shoulders to steady herself as she rocked against him, grinding her aching center over his erection. Need sang in her veins, and fire licked at her skin, bringing her animalistic nature closer to the surface. A soft growl built in her chest and rolled up her throat. It was a sound of deep pleasure, the lupine equivalent of a purr, but Cade drew back to stare at her.
“I’m sorry.” She hadn’t meant to frighten him or make him uneasy.
“Fuck, that was sexy.”
Surprised but pleased by his response, she did it again. His cock jerked, and he arched his hips, pressing against her throbbing pussy with a guttural moan. He dipped his hands beneath the hem of her sweater and skimmed his fingers along her sides. She shivered from his touch, but it wasn’t enough.
Thankfully, Cade seemed to agree, because a moment later, he pushed the material up her torso and helped her remove it before discarding it over the side of the bed. Bared to his gaze, self-consciousness began to creep in, but the feelings of doubt didn’t have time to take root.
“You are so beautiful.” He spoke huskily, his voice filled with awe and appreciation. He skimmed his fingertips over the tops of her shoulders and down her arms. “You have the softest skin.”
Basking in his admiration, she wanted to compliment him as well. She wanted to tell him how much she loved his hard, toned muscles, how sexy she found his tight, cobblestone abs. When he leaned in to capture her hard nipple between his lips, however, all that came out was a gasp.
He lavished attention on the hard bud, circling it with his tongue and dragging his teeth over the peak. His hands roamed her body, stroking down her back and over her ribs before coming up to cup the swell of her breasts.
Threading her fingers through his hair, she pulled him closer and arched into his mouth. Her head fell back, and a moan spilled from her lips as tiny explosions detonated throughout her body. Her pussy clenched, pulsing in time with her pounding heart as the desire to be filled and stretched became nearly unbearable.
“Oh, please,” she gasped. “Cade, please. Now.”
It took a lot of fumbling and maneuvering to remove the clothing from the lower half of their bodies without completely unseating her from his lap. A sigh of relief bubbled up from her lips when she settled over him again, feeling his heated skin against hers with nothing between them.
Fisting his cock, she slid her hand along the hard length, amazed and a little intimidated by how thick he was. She wanted to take her time and explore every inch. She wanted to experience the weight of him against her tongue, taste the saltiness of the clear drops that beaded from the crown.
She wanted to, but she didn’t have the patience. Right then, she was too on edge, too desperate to feel him moving inside her. Placing her free hand on his shoulder for balance, she lifted up from his lap and positioned the engorged head at her entrance.
Their eyes met, and her breath caught in her throat as she sank over him. The pressure was intense as her inner walls stretched to accommodate his size, but she didn’t stop until her ass brushed against his thighs and she’d taken all of him.
Cade locked one arm around her waist, holding her in a bruising grip as he encouraged her to move. After a few false starts, she finally found a rhythm she liked, rising and falling, undulating against him as she chased the high of release.
Their lips came together in a searing kiss, and her mate swallowed
