didn’t need to expand, knowing
she’d understand. Before they’d
realized who those vampires were
he’d been ready to bring the entire
building down around their heads.
“I know.”
“Does that scare you?”
She shook her head sending her
curls bouncing. “No.”
That was all he needed to know
because if the time ever arose that
he had to defend her again, he
wouldn’t pause to kill for her.
Estrella was his.
Dipping his head between her
legs, he licked the length of her wet
pussy and couldn’t bite back a
satisfied groan when she gasped at
his sudden onslaught.
He wanted to make her scream
his name. As he teased her, his
entire body shuddered at her taste.
She was sweet perfection.
Her legs trembled around his
head, squeezing him with each
stroke of his tongue. He kept his
teasing light and playful.
When she tunneled her fingers
through his hair and gripped his
head, he grinned against her
compliant body. Her breathing had
turned erratic and the scent of lust
that rolled off her nearly drowned
him.
“Skip foreplay,” she demanded.
Grinning, he shook his head as
he zeroed in on her clit. Pressing his
tongue against the bundle of nerves,
he exerted more pressure than he
had so far. Her hips rolled against
his face as she let out a yelp of
surprise and pleasure.
Since it was clear she was ready
for him, he slid two fingers inside
her without warning.
“Rainer,” she moaned his name
as she tore her hands from his head
and clutched the bedding
underneath her.
Her inner walls clenched
convulsively around his fingers so
he slowed his movements. The first
time she came tonight would be
when he was inside her. And there
would definitely be more than one
time. He’d make sure of it.
Slowly, he dragged his fingers
along her inner walls and savored
the desperate sounds she made.
Though he hated to tear his mouth
away from her, he lifted his head.
“What did you say? I didn’t quite
hear that,” he murmured.
“Make love to me now,” she
demanded, her voice full of
desperation. As she spoke, her
inner walls tightened around him
even more.
Those words had an immediate
effect on him. Unwilling—and
unable—to tease her any longer, he
withdrew his fingers and covered
her body with his. The heels from
her shoes dug into his ass as she
wrapped her legs around him.
The slight pain gave way to
pleasure as he rocked into her.
When she let out a sigh of relief, it
nearly unraveled him. Knowing she
was just as desperate to be with him
as he was with her soothed the most
primal part of him while it
simultaneously unleashed him.
Palming her breasts, he tweaked
and teased her hard nipples. The
tiny buds had drawn tight and each
time he rubbed one, her inner walls
tightened even more around his
cock.
Burying his face against her neck,
he nipped and kissed her, savoring
her natural jasmine scent. She was
so close he could feel it with each
stroke.
Thank God because he was close
to coming, too. As he continued to
pump into her, they found a frantic
rhythm until finally he reached
between them and rubbed her clit,
hoping to push her over the edge.
With a cry, she dug her fingers
into his back and let out a moan
that pierced him soul deep. He’d
given her that pleasure. No one
else. And no one else would ever
touch what was his.
It was too soon, but he couldn’t
stop himself from saying the words
“I love you,” as he climaxed. His
orgasm was harsh and anything but
graceful. His entire body shook as
he emptied himself inside her.
Rainer wasn’t sure how much
time passed as they lay wrapped in
each other’s arms, but eventually
Estrella toed her shoes off and
wrapped her legs completely
around him. She gently nuzzled his
neck, nipping at him with her teeth
and then following up with soft
kisses. Feeling too raw and open to
look her in the eye, he kept his face
buried against her neck.
Finally, she dug her fingers into
his back, pinching him. “Look at
me,” she demanded. When he lifted
his head, all he saw was love and
lust in her hot gaze. “I love you,
too.”
He blinked once, unsure he’d
heard right.
She cupped his cheek, pulling
him so his face was an inch from
hers. “When we met, it’s like a
missing piece of a puzzle fell into
place inside me. I know we have a
hell of a lot to learn about each
other, but what I know so far is
enough for me. You’re mine and
I’m not letting go.”
His inner wolf howled in
satisfaction. He wasn’t letting her go
either. No matter what. They
belonged together and that was that.
He breathed out a sigh of relief he
hadn’t even realized he’d been
holding on to at her words.
Covering her mouth with his again,
he rolled so that she was straddling
him. It didn’t matter that soon
people would be arriving to meet
Estrella, he wasn’t letting her out of
his bed for a good, long time.
