Somewhere in the fog, I was aware that my legs and arms had entwined around his broad frame, and that his hands were clenching my ass, keeping his length firmly buried inside me as his seed poured into me in throbbing waves and our magic rippled with pulsing power through us.

It was heaven and rapture. Domination and submission. Magic and flames.

He was mine.

I was his.

And now, there was no going back.

Chapter 15

My eyelids opened in a hazy flutter of languid bliss. I felt wrecked. Totally and completely spent.

The hunter was still on top of me and inside me.

Vaguely, I was aware that we were in his man cave. Our clothes were in ribbons on the floor. Our chest harnesses were shredded as weapons, blades, and potions were scattered about.

And Jakub was still out there, still on the run.

Yet, I couldn’t move.

Kaillen shifted slightly, then his scent clouded around me when he buried his face into my neck. His tongue darted out, right where he’d bitten me.

My body jolted at the erotic sensation that intimate caress provoked, like someone had run a feather over my clit, demanding my attention.

My eyes flashed open as a tug came from my abdomen.

“Do you feel it?” Kaillen said huskily, his face still pressed flush against my neck. The tug came again, then an . . . emotion . . . strummed along it. Pure male satisfaction.

The hunter was preening.

I gasped, then brought a hand to my stomach, to where that feeling lay. “Is that . . . you I’m feeling?”

He lifted his head. Wicked delight shone in his eyes. “It is. We’re bonded now. I claimed you, and you claimed me.” He seemed immensely satisfied about that last part, as if I’d directly stroked his ego by making the choice to join with him.

He lifted himself onto his elbow, an arrogant smirk tilting the corner of his mouth. “Do I have a mark too?” My eyes widened when I beheld the crescent moon-shaped mark just above his collarbone.

My hand flew to my skin, to the same area. “You do. Do I?”

His lips curved in a possessive grin. “Indeed. I just licked it. And not only that, but you carry a hint of my scent too. Every male werewolf will know that you’re mated now. You are officially mine.”

Yet, instead of that remark terrifying me or filling me with despair, I felt nothing but elation. I may be his, but he also belonged to me. I tentatively sniffed, to see if he also carried my scent, and I caught a hint of freesia intermixed with his natural citrusy cedar.

“I can smell myself on you too. It’s subtle but there. So I guess we’re officially a couple now?” I said lightly and toyed with the hair at the nape of his neck.

He chuckled, then made a purring sound, falling into the movement as I caressed his skin. “Yes. You’re officially off the market, so you better tell Carlos that.” He growled after uttering my ex’s name. “And if he ever sends you another fucking letter telling you he loves you and asks you to be his, I’m going to rip his throat out.”

My eyes widened as I laughed, but then I sobered, because Kaillen probably would do something that violent if he felt Carlos was trying to take me from him. ’Cause if I thought the hunter had been possessive before the claiming, I had a feeling I hadn’t seen anything yet.

I trailed my finger across his chest and said teasingly, “You know, you really shouldn’t read my private letters.”

“Then you shouldn’t leave them laying around.”

My finger stopped. “Are you kidding me? Is that how it’s going to be between us?”

He shrugged. “No more secrets, remember? If I’m not going to hide anything from you, why should you hide anything from me?”

“Does that mean you’re now an open book?”

“Probably not.”

I whacked him on the shoulder, which got a dark grin from him.

Sobering, he added, “I am going to do my best not to hide anything, but you still might have to ask me a question or two to get all the information.”

I rolled my eyes but still grinned, then stretched languidly. My body felt spent, loved, and thoroughly fucked.

“We should go,” I said when I glanced at the clock in his kitchen. It was crazy that we’d only been here for forty-five minutes. It felt as if hours, or even days, had passed. I’d been that wrapped up in him, but the reality was that Jakub was still out there, and time was ticking.

“You do know what you’re asking of me, right?” he said lazily.

“If you’re referring to how I’ve asked you to join me in the fae lands so we can hunt down a psycho intent on abducting me, then yes, I am aware of what I’m asking.”

“I’m not talking about Jakub. I’m talking about the fact that I’ve just claimed you, and all of my instincts are now begging me to fuck you continuously until I’ve planted my pup in your belly.”

My eyes widened. “Please tell me that you’re kidding.”

An amused expression overtook his face before he said with mocking offense, “You’re going to hurt my ego. If you’re already ready to run from my bed, then I didn’t pleasure you as I should have.”

“Oh, you did. That’s not the part I’m referring to. It was the pup part. I’m not ready for that.”

He leaned down and nipped my nose. “I know, but we can certainly keep practicing even if pups aren’t on the agenda yet.”

His length began to harden in me, and my eyes widened. “You’re ready, again?”

“You’re my mate. All it takes is breathing in your scent, and my cock’s hard.”

“But what about Jakub? We’ve already spent—”

“This one will be quick. Promise.” He began to move, and any thoughts about fleeing to the fae lands disappeared when he pulled out, and then thrust back inside me.

If I’d thought that claiming one another would dispel this constant need to straddle the hunter and ride him till the cows came home, I was sorely mistaken.

But while a part of me felt more satisfied and more reassured that the hunter truly did want me on some level, the insatiable need to have him fuck me fifty shades from Sunday didn’t let up.

The second time was quick. The hunter kept true to his promise, and even though I had another earth-shattering orgasm, the pull to be with him began again as soon as we came down from the high.

I marveled when his length grew for a third time, then a fourth time, and before either of us knew it, we’d spent two hours in his bed fucking like bunny rabbits.

“We need to go,” I panted as my body lay limp beneath his. “We can’t keep doing this.”

“Oh, I think we could.” He grazed his teeth along my skin. “Were you not warned about what newly mated couples are like? The need to constantly mate won’t abate for several weeks.”

“Weeks?” I screeched. “I don’t know if my vagina can take it. I’m already sore.”

He nipped at my neck. “Should I kiss the hurt away? Perhaps lick it?”

I laughed, unable to help it. The man was a sex god, and I had no doubt he’d make good on his promise, but I also knew that Jakub was on the run, and as much as I wanted to spend the next week in bed with the hunter pleasuring me over and over, I also knew that reality waited outside of these warded walls.

“We need to go,” I said again, then pushed up before he could convince me otherwise. I dipped out of the bed even though his arm tried to snake around me.

“Have I ever told you that you have the most beautiful body I’ve ever seen?” he asked, his gaze firmly glued to me as his eyes raked up and down my frame.

My breasts were rosy and chafed from Kaillen’s constant need to lick and suck them, but as I glanced down, my werewolf powers were already healing them. “Really? Looks like a normal body to me.”
