Desire Unleashed (6 page)

Ethan didn’t care about that now, though. All he wanted was to claim Caro as his. He didn’t know why he’d been waiting. They fit together. When he wasn’t with her, he was thinking about her. And when he was with her, he’d never been more content in his entire damn life. Even though she hadn’t said it, he knew she loved him too. He’d felt it in the way she’d kissed him after he’d admitted his feelings. She wouldn’t be bonding with him otherwise.

Before he reached her, she’d lifted her hands out for him in a welcoming gesture that made him ache for her even more. Her delicate fingers slid up his chest and around his neck as their bodies joined.

She kissed his neck and shoulders as she lifted up and wrapped her legs around him. Just the feel of her lips on his body was enough to make him combust. Her sweet, unique, spring rain scent surrounded him.

Holding her hips, he moved them through the water until they were near the wall of the pool. They’d done things hard and fast then soft and slow but right now his inner beast needed the mating.

Needed to mark her.

Sliding his hands up from her hips, he lightly cupped her breasts and bent to nuzzle her neck. His heart felt like it was going to explode. “I need to be inside you, sweetheart.”

She drew back from kissing his neck and softly smiled. Wordlessly, she let her legs drop and turned toward the wall. Over her shoulder, she looked at him so trustingly, he felt honored she’d chosen him to be her mate.

Palming one of her hips, he grabbed his cock with his other hand and guided it to her entrance. He didn’t bother to test her slickness since he’d felt it on the lounge chair. She was soaked and it was all for him.

It seemed it didn’t matter how many times he had her, he was always hungry for more. Seeing her like this, bent forward, surrendering to him, hands braced on the ledge, it pleased the most primitive part of him.

He needed to mark her but he needed her to come first. His primal side might be telling him to take her hard but the man in him wanted her to feel as much pleasure as he did. Since he’d been a part of their world, he’d come to learn that shifters were a superstitious bunch. This mating had to go right.

When she pushed back against him and moaned, his throat tightened. Yeah, it was going to be hard to keep his control now.

“Hold onto the edge,” he whispered against her neck. His chest rubbed against her smooth back and even that got him hot.

While she held on, he began thrusting. Slow, steady strokes. Reaching around her, he palmed her breasts and tweaked her nipples.

The moment he started teasing her, he felt the reaction in her tight pussy. She clenched even harder around him. With each push inside her, he felt himself spinning out of control.

Her inner walls gripped around him with no mercy.

The faster he moved, the more she rippled around him until she was panting in the same erratic rhythm he was.

His heart thumped rapidly and his cock felt like a steel club between his legs. When she let out a loud groan, those ripples intensified until her climax crashed over her. It was almost as if he could feel her pleasure.

As she moaned, he finally let go of his control. His canines extended the way they’d ached to for months when around her. His inner wolf had known they were linked even before he’d realized it.

Brushing her hair to the side, he bent to her neck and let his canines sink into her soft flesh. The instant he broke the skin, he came. His orgasm ripped through him like a freight train. The intensity was like nothing he’d ever experienced.

Pleasure shot to all his nerve endings and his abdomen bunched tight as he let out a loud growl. He didn’t care if all of Miami heard them.

Caro was his.

And he was hers.

He withdrew his mouth from her and even though he hated to pull out of her, he did. But he didn’t keep his hands off her sweet body. Turning her around, he drew her close and buried his head against her neck while she nuzzled his chest.

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed while they held each other but he finally broke the silence.

“Did I hurt you?”

He could feel her smile against his chest. She shook her head. “Not even close.” Then she pulled her head back and looked at him. Her dark eyes glittered with desire and satisfaction. Keeping her gaze on him, she reached up and gingerly touched where he’d bitten her.

Can you hear me?
Her voice sounded clear in his head.

Can you hear me?
Her voice sounded clear in his head.

Smiling, he nodded.
Now you’re going to know every
wicked thing I want to do to your body.

“Good.” She grinned mischievously and wrapped her legs around his waist. “I love you so much, Ethan. I can’t believe I ever thought we could just be friends.”

“Me neither,” he murmured before capturing her mouth with his.
