Though he was loath to stop watching her, he tilted his head forward and sucked
her clit into his mouth. The sharp tugging action pushed her over the edge.
Foreign but fabulous sensations zinged through Paz’s entire body. She’d
masturbated before but nothing compared to what Adam was doing to her. She felt as if
she could actually burst from the pleasure.

Each time he pushed his fingers into her, she wanted him to go deeper, wanted to
take more of him. She wanted his cock. Even thinking it sent tingles skittering across
her skin. Her fingers tightened against the blanket. After waiting so long for this
moment, she couldn’t understand why she wasn’t more tense. Part of her wondered
why everything about being with him felt so natural. So right. She barely knew him and
by all standards she should be avoiding him, but her mind and body were drawn to
him with a surprising intensity.
As he took her clit between his teeth then lashed his tongue over the sensitive
bundle of nerves once more, the building need inside her exploded. She wanted to
restrain herself, but it was too much. The tightness in her belly loosened and she let go
as her pussy spasmed out of control.
She clutched the blanket beneath her as the climax pulsed through her. The tiny
shots of pleasure overwhelming her body seemed to shoot to every direction. They hit
all her nerve endings in an explosive, erotic sweep.
Adam slowly withdrew his fingers and looked up to meet her gaze. The look on his
handsome face was one of primal satisfaction. Not that she blamed him. He should be
proud. She just hoped she could make him feel as good.
She started to sit up when, lightning fast, he moved on top of her and stole the
breath from her. She wanted to keep her head on straight around him, but when his
strong chest covered hers, all coherent thought fled.
There was a light thatch of blond hair covering his chest and it tickled her hardened
nipples. Involuntarily, she arched her back against him. Her body needed to feel more
of him. More skin on skin. She wrapped her arms around him and smoothed her palms
down his back. His muscles rippled underneath her touch.
It was as if a hunger had taken over her. She wanted more of Adam. “That was
amazing,” she whispered against his cheek when he bent to nip her ear.
“We’re just getting started, sweetheart.” His voice was just as low, but there was an
underlying bit of dominance in it that turned her brain to mush.

After a year of captivity, being dominated was the last thing she should be thinking
about, but her mind and body told her that Adam wouldn’t abuse her. She might not
trust him with her secrets, but she knew he wouldn’t hurt her body. The man could
quickly become like a drug to her.
Inhaling his addictive scent, she slowly raked her teeth along his stubbled jaw.
Everything about him was so clean-cut and put together. She liked the scruffy bit of hair
covering his face.
“I don’t have condoms. Are you…protected?” He murmured close to her ear.
She understood his question. Shifters normally didn’t need protection such as
condoms because they couldn’t get STDs and therefore they couldn’t give them. But
there were two times during the year a female could get pregnant. Luckily, now wasn’t
one of those times. “My cycle doesn’t start for another month.”
He reclaimed her mouth in a fervent, hungry kiss. Her lips parted willingly as she
drank in all he had to offer. She guessed the foreign, sweeter taste from him was her.
The realization created a burning low in her belly. She wanted to taste him too, but
knew there wasn’t time for that now.
He was ready to fuck. Probably had been since they’d started kissing. Despite the
cool breeze, his body was hot to the touch. As his tongue made erotic little sweeping
motions inside her mouth, she slipped a hand between them and under his pants.
She clasped his cock in her hand and squeezed. He immediately stilled and pulled
his head back.
Her eyes flew open. “What?”
“I don’t want to come in your hand.” His voice was hoarse and strangled.
“Wh…oh.” His admission surprised her. Something told her Adam could last for
hours, but right now he was as on fire as she was. Feeling very powerful, she removed
her hand and raked her fingers down his perfectly honed chest. “Why don’t you come
in
me
then?”

The seductive question surprised the hell out of Paz, but Adam didn’t need to be
asked twice. She was already wet and primed for him. A tiny part of her brain
wondered if she would be able to take him. Shifters were more endowed than humans
and her body was made to allow for that, but the muscles in her stomach clenched
involuntarily as he sat up and shimmied out of his pants.
After he kicked them away, he sat on his knees and settled between her spread legs.
She swallowed once as she stared at his pulsing cock. It was definitely big. Bigger than
she’d expected. Not the length so much as how thick it was. That tiny trickle of fear
turned into a river, but her worries were doused when Adam leaned forward and
covered her body once again.
He used his elbows to support his weight as he stared down at her. His cock rested
between her legs, but he didn’t make a move to start fucking. Their faces were inches
apart. “Let’s just get used to feeling each other. There’s no rush, sweetheart.”
Sweetheart.
No one had ever called her that. Something warm and unexpected
blossomed in her chest. He was nothing like she’d expected and she was very thankful
for that.
As he moved between her thighs she automatically wrapped her legs around him.
The muscles in his back tightened underneath her and his eyes immediately darkened.
He might have said there was no rush, but her pussy ached for more than just his
fingers.
She sought out his mouth as she ground her hips against his. More than anything,
she wanted him inside her. Wanted to feel what he had to offer. After so long without
any real human contact, she needed this.
He shifted slightly and in one fluid motion, he pushed deep into her, completely
filling her. All the air whooshed from her lungs, but just as quickly she caught her
breath. The stretching sensation was foreign but welcome. She unhooked her legs from
around his back and planted her feet on the quilt underneath them.

Adam was motionless inside her, letting her get accustomed to him. When he
gently squeezed one of her breasts, she managed to relax.
All the tendons in his neck were pulled tight and his expression was strained so she
knew he was holding back. At that moment, she was happy she’d waited for someone
like Adam. He had to be in agony but it was obvious he didn’t care and that he’d rather
put her needs first.
She could barely explain it to herself, but her skin felt too tight for her body. She
needed a bigger release than she’d gotten before. When she started moving her hips, he
pushed up higher on his elbows and started driving into her with barely controlled
thrusts.
If Adam died tonight, he’d definitely die happy. The thought scared the shit out of
him, but he was so far beyond caring about anything but Paz’s pleasure. She was an
odd mix of sensuality and innocence and he wanted to lose himself in her.
Her pussy wrapped around him like a tight, hot, glove. He was so close to coming
but refused to embarrass himself. She was going to climax again before they were
finished.
Balancing on his elbows, he continued thrusting. Her inner walls were milking him
tighter and tighter. Her dark eyes were slightly glazed over and the muscles in her body
were all drawn tight. It was simply a matter of time before she came again.
She was spread out before him under the moonlight and he didn’t think he’d ever
seen anything so beautiful. Her dark hair feathered around her like a soft curtain and
those dark eyes were practically shooting fire.
“Adam,” she groaned his name and he nearly lost it.
Gritting his teeth, he slowed his pace to make it last for her, but she locked her
ankles around his back and gripped him.
“Faster,” she murmured.

He did as she commanded and reached between them. When he tweaked her clit,
she arched her back and her cream rushed over him. Her climax was more intense this
time. Her back bowed and her mouth opened in a silent O as her sheath tightened
around him. Only when her vagina spasmed out of control, did he allow himself to let
go.
A jarring, pulsing climax ripped through him as he poured himself inside her.
Crying out her name he thrust into her again and again until the explosive eruption
subsided into calmer waves of ecstasy.
Her mouth was parted and she didn’t break his gaze as he settled on top of her. He
knew he’d eventually have to move, but buried deep inside her was the only place he
wanted to be.
The soft smile playing across Paz’s swollen lips sent an unexpected jolt straight to
his cock. When it stirred inside her, her eyebrows rose. “I’m not ready for another—”
“I know.” His words were practically a growl as he dropped a kiss on her forehead.
When her breathing became faintly labored, he groaned and moved off her.
Paz stared at the sparkling sky above her as her heart rate returned to normal. She
felt stretched, sore and absolutely wonderful. Sex had been a lot better than she’d
expected. She wasn’t sorry she’d waited so long to experience it though. In her heart she
knew that if she’d slept with someone from her old pack, it wouldn’t have been like
this. Adam was completely giving.
“Paz?” His deep voice sent shivers spiraling over her skin.
She rolled on her side to face him. He was lying on his back with his head propped
up underneath his arms and looking completely at ease.
“What?” she asked.
There’s something I need to tell you.

When his lips didn’t move, she realized he was projecting with his mind. Which
likely meant he could read her thoughts. Her throat seized and her elation transformed
to terror. Not caring that she was naked, she scrambled away until she was standing in
the sand a few feet away from him. “You’ve been able to read my mind this whole
time?” she whispered.
Oh god, oh god, oh god!
Did he know what she was? Had he
simply been using her? Nausea swirled in her gut.
He jumped to his feet with surprising agility. “No!” He took a step toward her, but
when she backed away, he held up his hands in a defensive gesture and stilled. “No, I
swear. I think…I think we’re mates. Try projecting your thoughts.”
“No!” she shrieked. Was he insane? She wasn’t going to project anything! Her body
temperature started to rise and she knew she was working herself up, but she couldn’t
stop. “We are
not
mates. We’re not! That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.”
She took another step back. Something pricked the back of her mind. If he could
link telepathically with her, it was probably true they were mates. It would certainly
explain her drugging need to be near him. If he discovered what she was… A shudder
snaked down her body at the thought, but she shoved it out of her mind. She couldn’t
let him find out.
He kept his hands up but took another step closer. “I didn’t mean to scare you.
We’re mates, Paz.”
“No, we’re not!”
“Why? You’re too good for me?” he ground out. Hurt glinted in his emerald eyes
and her first instinct was to wipe that pain away, but she stopped herself.
She needed to get away from him.
Fast.
The Lazos pack had protected her. She
couldn’t endanger them. Taking another step back, she pushed aside her insecurities
and let the change overcome her. The adrenaline pumping through her overrode most
of the pain as her bones twisted and broke. Without waiting to see his response, she
sprinted back toward her sister’s home. If she could just make it back, she’d be fine.
And safe.

Her heart pounded wildly as she kicked up sand and it didn’t settle when she
skidded to a stop on the stone steps of her sister’s back patio. After she changed into her
human form, she slipped her dress over her head. As she did, she saw Adam in wolf
form on the beach barely ten yards away.
He just stood there, watching. It felt as if a fist was squeezing her heart. She wanted
to talk to him, give him an explanation, but she couldn’t. She was too afraid. If she
admitted what she was, he’d have no choice but to turn her in to The Council. They
might be mates, but they hadn’t officially bonded and they didn’t know each other that
well.
When she bent to grab her panties, he started trotting toward her. Even though she
knew she was being a total chickenshit, she stumbled back and raced for the back door.
Paz had no doubt her sister was still awake and probably waiting to ream her out, but
she’d rather face Marisol than an angry Adam.
