"Ah, come here," he said gruffly and pulled her into his arms. "
How
is
the rest of
you
?"

"Just feels like a sting right now." She relaxed into his hold and let his arms calm her. "What happened to Conlin?"

He exhaled heavily. "This is the first I've really been up. I haven't even thought to ask a
nyone, to be honest. Last I remember
, I ripped his throat out and was saving the righteous kill for you."

Alison looked at him, her mouth gaping. "You
ripped
his throat out. Like with your bare hands?"

He flushed a little. Even in the darkened
room
she could see it. "No, not exactly. I, uh, used my teeth."
He mumbled the last few words so she wasn’t sure if she heard him correctly.

His teeth? He tore his throat out with his
teeth?
Her eyes widened
and her jaw wouldn’t close
as she pondered—and imagined—the scene
.
Then she did something that shocked the hell out of him.

She kissed him. She kissed him with an overwhelming passion that had his possessive instincts roaring to life and his cock awakening with surprising force. He kissed her back with hungry lips, his tongue sweeping in to find hers.
They were ravenous, greedy for each other.

Her hands found the cover around his chest and pushed it down.

"Stop." When had his voice grown so husky?

Alison lifted her mouth from his and noted that color was coming back to his cheeks. If she had any doubt before, it was gone. She needed this; he needed this.

Alison swept down the
comforter, tossed her thigh across his hips,
and climbed aboard. She felt like a doll trying to perch on the Jolly Green Giant. She was panting by time she situated herself.

"You're too big," she was saying.

"I've never heard you complain before."

She gave him a peeved glare and sat back until she felt the rock hard press against her core. Then her eyes rolled back into her head and she bit her lip to keep from moaning.

He was naked underneath that cover. She said a little prayer for the little things in life.
Then she said a great big prayer for being alive.

"You really are beautiful."

Startled, Alison looked down at her sexy alpha. Beautiful didn't even begin to describe him. He was the picture of lykaen perfection. And he was all hers.

"I need to tell you something." She saw his eyes widen
with apprehension
.

No way cou
ld she face him when she asked so she looked away.
She wasn't that strong. She had to clear her throat twice before any sound came out. "I was just wondering if you wanted to mate...with me. I know you haven't known me that long, but I feel like that would be a good thing."

Oh God,
idiot!
I'm so stupid. I can't even sound smooth while asking a man like Rome to
mate
with me. It's not
like
I'm asking him to go to the flipping movies. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Suddenly a hand was at the back of her head and she was brought down to Rome's
kiss
. Though kiss doesn't really cover what he did. He owned her mouth with his. He was an unrelenting warrior taking his long fought for reward. Lips pressed smoothly against each other while his tongue conquered her mouth. A smoldering heat built up inside her like a fire being
stoked. Each hungry pass of his tongue had her pressing herself closer. She couldn't get enough. But she was dying to know the answer, to hear him say it.

She tore her mouth away, gasping. "Tell me. Answer me, please. I can't take it." She closed her eyes hard. It was unbearable
not knowing; her heart was doing a crazy dance in her chest and her mind was shouting at her that she was stupid
.

Hands cupped her cheeks. "Baby, you were
mine
the moment I set eyes on you. I'd be honored to be your mate, Alison Bennson. Will you
be mine
?"

Heart quickening, s
he couldn't stop the huge smile that crossed her face or the humiliating
squeal
she made before pressing at least a dozen kisses
over
his face. She settled down over his lips and
kissed her new mate.

He growled, his hands moving down her body to cup her bottom. "I need to be inside you,
lumara
." The old lykaen word for mate triggered something deep inside her. Alison leaned forward, bracing herself on Rome's chest.

"Tear them off."

He looked startled for a moment,
then
his eyes went hooded and dark. He reached down, cupped her panty-clad
ass,
and squeezed the cheeks in his big hands before finding the sides. He curled his fingers into the soft material and pulled.
They snapped
,
and then c
ool air found her wet pussy.

"Take me in baby. Take me all in, just like this."

Flinging off the offending material of her long shirt, Alison leaned back and spread her legs further until she found the hot round press of his cock.

"Rome
!" She was panting
.
and he wasn't even inside her yet. His hands cupped her breasts, rolled the hard tips of her nipples between his hands.

"I need to suck on these." His voice deepened to a feral level. His lykaen was so close to the surface his eyes
glowed
. She obeyed his order and leaned forward. He captured her hard nipple with a growl.

She moaned as he sucked on her, teased her breast with his clever tongue. Her core was frustratingly empty. The need inside her like a
burning
inferno.
She tried to lean back
to slide down on his cock, but gave a frustrated growl.

"I'm too short, baby. I can't do both." He switched to the other breast and squeezed her ass cheek until she felt the burn of his palm on her skin. "
Oooh
!
"

He was dominating her body with his touch, taking her over. His tongue flicked her nipple then latched onto the firm tip. Both hands went to her ass and cupped the flesh
possessively
. He opened his mouth wider and sucked more of her into his mouth.

Then her pussy flooded with cream. His hands curled inward, finding the roaring heat of her sex. His fingers pressed further and dipped into that wet heat. She turned her head away and closed her eyes. She was embarrassingly wet. He only growled as he found her creamy heat. The sound vibrated through her breast to her core. A thick, long finger found her entrance and pushed up to a knuckle.

Her mouth fell open in a pant. Her hips kicked back to slide the finger all the way in. It's not enough. It wasn't near big enough.

He pulled back from her breast. "I know baby. I'm going to take care of you." Alison frowned at his words. Then she realized she must have said the words allowed. Letting out a growl of her own, she slammed him down to the bed with a shove to the shoulders. Quickly, she scooted back, cursed and wished she
were
taller to fit over his huge form, then sank down on his cock.

"
Ohhh
baby!" Big hands found her hips and squeezed as he
thrust
up into her as she pushed down. Even with her
slickness,
it was a tight fit. It was always a tight fit with him. God, she loved it. He pushed in all the way and she let out a howl.

Then she was sliding up and down his cock in a quick tempo. Her hands braced upon his chest, curling into the muscle. She was built up too much. He filled her so full, so perfectly. He reached parts inside her that were completely naughty. She rode him hard and fast.

"
Ahh
, fuck yes," he growled. His voice pushed her over the edge with a violent shove. She shouted his name and came, her pussy quivering hard with orgasm as a flood of fresh cream rushed over his cock. Just as quick as it came, it was gone and she was still on edge. Still built up.

"More." She moaned and ground herself into him, feeling him stuffing her at the deepest. He groaned below her, his eyes hooded and dark with arousal.

Suddenly she was flipped, and then he was
lying
between her spread thighs, pushing her knees apart with strong hands on her thighs. He was a hard, thick pulse inside her. She shivered at the
deliciousness
of it. At the thrill.

He towered above
her like a dark fertility god. Then h
e moved inside her, his strokes long and hard. His hands cupped her breasts, stroked over her throat in a possessive touch,
and then
fell to her hips to hold her close.

He filled her
again and again
. Her moans filled the room and mixed with the sounds of his choppy breaths and feral growls. He bent lower, nuzzled her
neck,
and fucked her harder.

"Going to fill
come inside you
," he growled against her throat,
then
bit down.
It was a bite to mark her
.

Her body tensed with pleasure, her breath stalling in her lungs as he continued to work his
hot cock through her tight flesh. He licked the bite and she held onto him, her nails pressing into the muscle of his back.

His cock felt like it grew thicker, longer. Impossible, but she knew he was just as close as she was to flying apart. She rocked her hips up to his as he hammered her into a blind, shattering orgasm.

His thrusts grew unsteady, faltering as his balls pooled with
semen
. He spoke to her with choppy words spoken more from his beast than him. "
Lumara.
Must fill you
with my seed
. Now!"

"Yes!" She shouted as pleasure tightened her pussy to unbearable
levels
. He plunged in deeply one last time and she came in a hard, intense orgasm. Her hips rocked, thighs shook, her head kicked back and she fought to breathe. He groaned above her, slid out,
and then
slammed in one last time. She felt a flood of hot
jets
deep inside her. He shook above her like trembling leaf as his release jetted out of him with devastating power.

Ali
son
caught him as he collapsed on top of her, and wrapped her arms and legs around him.

Perfect. That's how it felt. 

"I love you,
lumara
."

His husky words made her heart flutter and smile cross her face. "I love you too."

Chapter 16

 

"So what's this surprise you have for me?"

"Hey, leave that blindfold on. You're not supposed to see where we're going. I can'
t tell you what the surprise is
but I can tell you what it's for."

She grinned and petted the seats until she found his thigh in the car. "Oh y
e
ah, what's that?"

"For giving testimony against Conlin today that sealed the deal on his prison sentence. It took some serious guts to go sit before that bastard. I'm proud of you babe. So, I thought I'd treat you to something."

"Treat me, huh. Is it ice cream?"

Husky laughter filled the car. "Oh no, not even close. And no guessing. I won't have you ruining it, besides we're almost there."

Smiling, she settled back into her
seat, listened to the rolling of wheels on the street and the passing of cars,
and felt the heat of his hand holding hers. His hand idly traced the ring he'd given her after their mating ceremony. It had been one of the greatest days of her life. Alison Kategan

she definitely liked the sound of that.

The car slowed then came to a stop.

"We're here. Now, I have to take you in the back way or people might say something
. It’s not exactly everyday a
woman
is
escorted blindfolded by me."

"
You do tend to attract attention,
luma
.
It’s t
hat sort of tall, dark, and sexy thing going on. Animal magnetism I think it's called."

"Damn right I do. How do you think I was able to attract you?"

She
laughed
and heard him leave the car. A moment later her door opened and he was
ushering her out. He kept her close in his arms as he locked the car.

"It was your smile."

She couldn't see him, but felt him look down at her. "Really?"
