LOU
“You’re perfect,” he murmured against me.
My heart beat wildly in my chest and I opened my mouth a little wider, tangling Gunnar’s tongue with mine. The friction of his stubble on my sensitive skin was making my body hum. I could still feel slow waves of aftershock pulsing through my body from when he made me cum. It had definitely never been like that before. Instead of coming down, I could feel myself heating back up. My pussy clenched. If his fingers could do that to me, I couldn’t wait to see what the rest of his body could do. I wasn’t just ready, I wanted it. I needed him inside me.
“Gunnar,” I whined, tightly. “I need you.”
“I’m right here, Shortcake. Tell me what you want.”
I scraped my fingernails down his back and lifted my hips to grind myself against his hard shaft. I reached down and pulled at his belt.
“I want you inside me.”
He scraped his teeth across my jaw before pushing himself off the bed. He made short work of his shoes and pants and then paused. I held my breath, desperately hoping he had not changed his mind.
“Do you have a condom?” His face was almost comical. I looked around the room, mentally taking inventory of where I would have left the box I purchased way back in the day.
“Dresser. Bottom left drawer, I think.” I bit my lip. Seconds later he returned, opening the wrapper and rolling the condom down his impressive length. He crawled back up the bed and positioned himself between my legs.
I hooked my ankles around his back, grinding up against him again. I couldn’t wait, not anymore. My pussy was dripping and trembling in anticipation. I closed my eyes and tried to bring him down into a kiss, but he pulled away slightly.
“Lou. Look at me.” Opening my eyes, I looked up at his face. His shaggy brown hair fell into his eyes and his arms trembled under his weight. I knew he was just barely holding on. “I’m your mate. If we do this, I want you to look at me. You need to know it’s me making you feel this way. No one else, not ever again. Just me.”
Damn bossy alpha. I nodded and locked my eyes with his as he pushed his tip into me slowly. My breath came out in ragged puffs and I struggled to keep my eyes open. Every nerve ending was on fire and with every inch he pushed forward I became more desperate. I exhaled a low groan and my eyes rolled back in my head as he buried himself up to the hilt. He waited for a brief moment, his face frozen in shock and awe until I met his eyes again. Then he started to move.
He continued slow and steady with long thrusts of his hips, his eyes never leaving mine. I met him thrust for thrust, taking everything he wanted to give me. He reached between us and rubbed his thumb over my clit. I saw stars and cried out, arching my back against him. “Open your eyes.”
I pulled his face close and kissed him, feeling the pressure building inside me again as he continued his punishing rhythm. I clawed at his back. “Gunnar, please don’t stop.”
“Never,” he grinned, pushing in and out and circling my clit again. That was my undoing. I threw my arms up and wrapped myself tightly around him as my orgasm ripped through me. My heart was racing and Gunnar tensed as he came with me, muffling his cries on my shoulder. Every part of my body felt alive and at the same time utterly spent. I didn’t want to move, content as I was to stay cocooned under his strong, warm body. I tried to catch my breath.
He pushed himself up and with a satisfied grin popped one more kiss on my lips. He disposed of the condom and cleaned us both up. I could get used to this.
Grabbing both my hands, he pulled me up to stand next to the bed. He cupped my face and kissed me again softly. “There’s nothing more that I would love than to climb back in this bed with you, but we have to get on the road. I promise you, there’s more when we get home. I’m going to worship you.”
I blushed from head to foot, stooping down to snag my dress and underwear from the floor. This was too good to be true. As much as I wanted to believe him, a small part of me remembered that he was an alpha. I was his mate, but when we made it back to his pack things could change. I had never wanted someone so much in my life, but it had been my experience that alphas only wanted one thing: unquestioned compliance. Compliance wasn’t exactly one of my strongest skills.
Still, this was Gunnar. I thought back on all the times we had together as kids. He had always been kind and playful, not like so many of the other male wolves. He could have changed in the years we had been apart, but was that likely? I reached up and touched my still-swollen mouth and remembered the way his lips felt against mine. I really hoped he wasn’t that kind of alpha.
