“How could he even believe? It’s not like this is normal conversation. What if he wants to see me? Or he could be bringing someone to take me away.”
“No,” Jace said before lightly kissing her. When he drew back, his gaze was soft. “I’d never let anyone hurt you. We saw some strange…things when we were overseas. Stuff that we couldn’t explain. That was the reason I contacted Mitch. I knew he was already looking into some of our weird experiences.”
Piper relaxed into his hold. She didn’t like the thought that someone she didn’t know might have guessed what she was. Even if Jace trusted this guy, it didn’t mean that she would. While Jace spent time with his friend, she would have to do some of her own digging around. If this friend of Jace’s tried to hurt either one of them, he would find out just how protective she could be.
“Fine,” she said letting the subject drop.
“Good,” he replied before he ran his hands down her side. Jace lowered his mouth to her shoulder and peppered kisses over her flesh. “Because I can think of so many other things to talk about when you’re naked and at my mercy.”
She grinned. “Oh yeah?”
Jace lifted her easily off her feet and strolled back closer to the fire. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she nipped at his jaw. She hadn’t seen the blanket and was surprised when he laid her down on top of it. He always thought of everything.
As Jace settled between her legs Piper ran her hands over his chest. The tattoo over his heart was dark and a complicated series of intertwined lines. She loved to run her tongue over the ink and did so as Jace’s fingers trailed down her neck.
She knew his body now. What he liked, how to arouse, and what was too much.
Jace tugged on her hair, lifting her face. She moved her mouth against his as they shared a deep, passionate kiss. She shivered as he ran his fingers lower down her body before tracing his fingertips against her wet folds.
Piper spread her legs farther apart before lifting her hips slightly.
Jace’s erection pressed against her thigh. Naked, she wanted him naked.
Distracting her, Jace slipped one long finger inside. All thought of getting his pants off left as he plunged his digit in and out. Her nails scored his back as she bucked up, trying to get more sensation. “Please.”
His breath coasted against her ear. “What?” he teased. “Tell me.”
Oh, she loved it when he went dominant on her. Of course, Jace knew that. “More. I need more.”
“Beg,” he demanded.
Piper had no problem complying with that. She pleaded for him to take her as she snapped her hips.
“I love the sound of you begging.”
She was so relieved when he pulled his hand away and started to unsnap his jeans that she almost sobbed. The ache between her legs was like a fire coursing through her body.
Unable to keep her hands to herself, she petted his broad chest. He shuddered as her fingertips brushed his nipples.
Jace finished pushing down his pants before he caught both her wrists and moved them over her head. As she bit her lip, excitement throbbed down her spine.
“Stay where I put you.”
She nodded.
He released his hold before traveling down her body, kissing and nipping at her sensitive flesh. Gasping, she bucked at the sting.
“Stay.”
Her breath caught at his tone. Holy hell, she was so turned on. “Jace!”
She felt his smile against her stomach but that was the only response she got. He was going to make her wait until she was desperate for him.
Digging the heels of her feet into the blanket, Piper tried her best to follow Jace’s order. The submissive part of her wanted to please her lover. Pushing her own needs down was a struggle.
“Oh God.”
She jumped and whimpered when his lips brushed over her clit. “Please, Jace. Please.”
He spread her thighs farther apart while he licked her once. Just a taste.
Piper did sob then.
“All right, honey, it’s okay,” Jace said before he sat up and positioned himself at her entrance.
Moonlight glinted off the small bead of moisture at the tip of his cock. He was just as aroused as she was. Not done torturing her quite yet, he pumped himself several times while she watched.
She’d been able to hold her wolf back so far but her control began to snap. Very seldom did she have to worry about the animal inside breaking loose but the ache in her gums warned that her teeth wanted to lengthen. She craved to bite and claim her mate.
Luckily Jace seemed to know when she reached her limit and slowly started to enter her. His cock stretched her as Jace filled her. The connection strengthened the bond between the two of them. Piper could feel the link joining them pulse in her heart.
Crying out, she clung to Jace as he withdrew gradually before plunging deep.
Mate.
The word bounced around in her head as Jace started to thrust rapidly. Piper had to clamp her teeth together to resist the overwhelming urge to sink her canines into Jace’s shoulder.
Her lover was braced above her, sweat dripping down his forehead as he snapped his hips, taking her harder with each drive. Back bowed, she shuddered in pleasure. She wanted to let go. Needed to be taken and claimed.
It was getting harder and harder to stop herself from marking Jace.
“Let go,” Jace told her. “Give it all to me.”
He didn’t know what he was asking. Couldn’t understand that she was unable to comply with his request. She didn’t want to turn into the monster that took her choices from her.
She wouldn’t do that to Jace.
“You belong to me,” Jace snarled while still pushing into her with powerful pushes. “Mine.”
Bliss swamped her. A scream ripped from her throat as she finally lost all restraint. Her teeth dropped, cutting her lip. She had no control over the partial shift.
“Yes!” Jace called, losing his own battle in self-control.
Piper fell over the edge of climax hanging on to Jace to anchor herself. Jace’s shout mixed with hers as they both reached satisfaction.
His heavy weight collapsed on top of her. She pressed her fingers into his strong back before stroking his muscles. He lifted his head and grinned.
Relief she hadn’t bitten him mixed deep inside her with a touch of disappointment. She didn’t know how long she could fight the need to mate with Jace.
“Whatever you’re thinking about can wait,” Jace told her, cupping her face. “Just relax.”
Nodding, she closed her eyes and accepted his sweet kiss. There would time enough to worry later. She wouldn’t lose this moment on what ifs. She was in Jace’s arms and that was all that she needed to concentrate on. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
