  “A taste.” His eyes dropped to her lap.

  Chapter Seventeen

  Delaney felt her clit spasm, and her pussy dampen even more than it already was. Making her decision, she sat up to her knees and pulled her tank back off. She moved the zipper back down and stood to shuck off her suit with a number of shimmys to peel it off. Her boots were kicked off before she pulled the pants off. It left her standing in her panties in front of a man that looked very, very hungry.

  Will reached his hand up to her, and she took it without hesitation. He pulled her back down to him and laid her gently on the blanket. He covered her body with his, touching their skin together for the first time. He made a sound low in his throat, his eyes closing at the contact.

  “Did you just purr?”

  “Yes, you make my cat very happy, Monkey. Expect to hear that sound a lot in the future.” Will brushed her hair away from her face.

  “So what now?”

  “Well, I get my taste, and then we go from there.”

  “Go where? I mean how is this going to work? I live here, and you live thousands of miles away. You picked me, and now I’m what, a what did you call it?”

  “A mate, it’s what you are. But you can choose being human when you want to bond with me. Shifter pairs will bite each other to seal themselves to one another. It brings them closer, and they will permanently only want each other for the rest of their lives.”

  “What does that mean for a human?” Delaney had the odd feeling of being left out being a non-shifter. Like she was going to be with this man, and it not be everything it could be if she wasn’t like him.

  “It means that when I bite you, you get to be a little less human and a little more shifter. Shifters age slower than humans, so you would start to age like me. We also have shorter pregnancies, so having some of my DNA will help you adjust to the shorter time frame.”

  “Wow, babies. That’s heavy,” she said, looking up at him. She wasn’t ready to talk about babies. She hadn’t even decided if there was going to be anything past today with this man.

  “That’s future talk. I’m talking about right now. I don’t expect you to take all this in today and make a choice. I’m just asking that you give me a chance. Give us a chance.”

  Delaney knew that she was going to say yes to this man. At least about today. She wanted him; that was clear. So focusing on that, she said, “Okay.”

  That okay got her a sweet smile and a flash of yellow in Will’s eyes. Then she got a kiss that if she was wearing socks, would have knocked them off. Will managed to take his mouth from hers and cover every inch of exposed skin as he worked his way down her body.

  “These breasts are fucking stunning, baby. I could spend all day here,” he said, sucking a nipple into his mouth.

  “Well, that might chafe. I’m just saying,” she said, letting out a soft moan at the contact.

  “I’ll be careful, I promise, Monkey.”

  He was careful, careful to not miss an inch. When he got to the waistband of her black cotton panties, he gripped them between his teeth and looked up at her. Now she knew that it was his cougar shining back at her with those bright eyes. It made her even hotter.

  The snap of the elastic caused her to jump when he let go to draw in a deep breath. “I love that smell; it means you’re wet for me. That you want me.”

  Will took a second to strip her of her panties, tossing them to the side. Without any ceremony, he pushed her legs wide and stared down at her wet core. “Look how beautiful you are, baby.” He brought his hand between her legs and ran one finger along her slick lips.

  Delaney followed that finger as it left her pussy and went straight into Will’s waiting mouth. The purring sound intensified, and she couldn’t help but shiver. Delaney didn’t feel like she was paying for anything. She was getting all the goodness from Will, and she was just greedy enough to keep going.

  “Will,” she said with a gasp.

  “Just that taste, Monkey, that one drop tells me how much we are meant to be together. You taste like vanilla with sugar and cream. I’m going to make you come so hard you’ll be screaming my name.”

  She didn’t doubt him; she had a feeling that what was next was going to be mind blowing.

  Will positioned himself on his stomach between her legs and took the first long, slow lick. Delaney gasped, and her legs tried to snap shut, but Will kept his big hands on her thighs and held them open wide for his pleasure.

  Screw that. It was for her pleasure too.

  Delaney wasn’t one hundred percent sure, but it felt like Will’s tongue was rough, gritty like sandpaper. It felt amazing as he dipped his head back to her molten folds and starting eating her. He tasted and teased. Switching between long slow licks and short tugs on her clit.

  The purring noise he made translated to a vibration effect on her clit that was so much better than any of her toys.

  “Oh, god!” she moaned. “Do that again.”

  Will was more than happy to oblige. He was lost in his mate’s heat and scent. Her pussy was like the softest silk, and his cougar’s urge for him to mate was roaring in his ears. He wanted to take his time, savor this first experience with their mate. His cat wanted her locked to them for eternity. Bound and promised so they would have all the time in the world to play and make love.

  “Will, I’m going to come,” Delaney panted. She was overwhelmed by the sweet pleasure he was creating. It was like her body was burning, and she was torn between wanting him deep inside her and wanting to come hard and long first.

  “Then come for me,” he ordered, purring against her clit before pulling it between his teeth and lashing it with his tongue.

  The scream from his mate, as she called out his name while bucking against his mouth, was the sweetest thing he had ever heard. He drank down her orgasm, lapping and pulling her over and over that peak of pleasure. Her legs were clamped around his head as he’d let go to cup her ass and lifted her closer to his mouth.

  “Please, Will, it’s too much,” she begged. Delaney felt like all of her nerve endings had been dipped in molten metal. Sharp, shiny pleasure coursed through her leaving a painful trail that hurt so good.

  Giving her pussy one last long lick, being careful to avoid her sensitive nub, he kissed his way back up her body until he reached her mouth. There he shared her honey with her, letting her know how delicious she was.

  “Let’s do that again,” he said, kissing over her face and neck.

  “You bet, give me a minute.” Delaney tried to get her eyes to focus. When they finally did, she saw that although there was a full-blooded man on top of her, the eyes staring down at her were all animal.

  “To answer your question, I do love you, Delaney Jane Owens. I know you can’t understand how that can be true so soon. But you have my heart and not just my soul, but my cougar’s as well. We will love you until the end of time, and there will never be anyone else for us. Your safety, happiness, and contentment are the first thing on our minds. We have to take care of you, cherish you. Monkey, I love you so much, I would die without you.”

  Delaney stared at him, and she wanted to say something sarcastic. But as he spoke the center of her chest got heavy and warm. There were signs that she had a heart and apparently liked being told by a man that she was the center of the universe. Go figure.

  “I don’t know if I can say those words yet, Will,” she admitted.

  The smile on his face was surprising. “I wouldn’t expect you to, not yet. It’s different for you, and I understand. Just be with me. Let me show you what our life could be like together. That’s all.”

  Delaney liked that. She could give this man the time he asked for. She had nothing to lose but her heart.

  “Okay, Will. You can have my time,” she said, giving him a small smile. Declarations of affection were not something she was used to giving.

  “That makes me happy. Truly it does.” He followed that with a kiss that started her motor revving right
back up.

  “Damn, you can kiss,” she said when they broke apart.

  “I can do more than kiss if you are interested.” He nipped at her lower lip.

  “Oh, I’m so interested,” she answered.

  Will proceeded to show her how talented he was. With his mouth, his hands, and his cock. He touched her and drove her to a peak before stopping and letting her come back down. Then he would do it again, dipping his hand between her legs, but never entering her, just sweet tease after tease.

  “Stop teasing me. I want your cock,” Delaney demanded after having come so close to coming too many times to count.

  “You can have my cock anytime you want, Monkey. I was just waiting for you to ask for it.” At those words, he positioned himself at her entrance and slid in, pushing past her swollen folds. He held himself still as she arched her back, and her legs locked around his waist. Her nails were gripping his strong biceps as her pussy flexed around the invasion.

  “Fuck me, baby. You are so tight and hot. It’s like heaven inside you. I’m never going to leave,” he said, moaning into her neck. His instincts were to bite, but he held back knowing it wasn’t the time or place.

  “Sounds good to me; let’s live in the woods,” she said, trying to get closer. He was so strong, and he filled every corner of her. She ran her nose up along his neck and took in his scent. He smelled good before, but now he smelled better, like it was changing to her favorite things. He smelled like man and apple trees blooming. Delaney bucked her hips up and felt Will’s arms tighten around her.

  “Say you’re mine, Delaney. Tell me that I have your time, every second is for me.”

  She didn’t know why it was so important to hear it, but she was happy to give him that. “Yes, Will, I don’t want to be with anyone but you. I feel like I need you near. That your skin brings me comfort, like it’s a drug. I want it all the time.”

  Delaney couldn’t put into words just how much she was craving him. She was touching him, and it felt like static between her fingers. For every sweep of her fingers, she felt it in her soul. The last hour with Will had been like a junkie making the rounds on a late night.

  Will pulled out of her and thrust back in, wiping away all her thoughts of her new addiction.

  “Yes,” she moaned.

  “Like that? I can do it again if you want.” Will gave her another thrust of his hips. He got the moan and gasp that he wanted. He set the pace to make sure she never was quiet, and the woods got to hear her luscious voice begging him to go harder, faster, more.

  Will kept his focus on keeping his cat back and not biting his mate. It was everything he could do to keep his teeth to himself. Instead, he focused on dragging his cock through the sweet tightness of his mate’s slick channel. He loved her noises and knew that he’d be doing everything he could in the future to hear those sounds again.

  “Delaney, baby, I need you to find it. I want you so bad. I don’t want to lose control. I don’t want to bite you yet. You have to have time,” he said this through gritted teeth as he slid a hand down between them to the aching nub at her center. He rolled her throbbing clit between his fingers as he continued to pound into her.

  Delaney loved that he was willing to hold back, that he could wait for her. She didn’t want to push him as she wasn’t ready to be bitten even though it sounded hot. She was on the brink of an amazing orgasm, all she had to do was let go.

  Her body locked and she couldn’t stop herself from screaming and digging her nails into Will’s back. She heard a roar and felt the hot spurts of his seed pour into her as Will called out her name as he filled her with his cum. Delaney briefly acknowledged that they hadn’t used protection, but she’d have to worry about that tomorrow.

  “That’s my girl, coming hard for me.” Will gave Delaney a hot wet kiss as he cupped her face in his hands.

  “Will, that was, I don’t have words,” she whispered to him.

  “Delaney, that was nothing. That was just a warm-up. I think we can do better next time, and maybe you can find the right words.”

  “That sounds like an excellent plan, Mr. Klein.”

  Chapter Eighteen

  Bringing both of the bikes back into the forecourt of the garage, Will was off and had Delaney wrapped up in his arms before she could even get her helmet off.

  He was trying to kiss along the small patch of skin at her neck under the edge of her helmet. “Will, give me a second, and you can have a proper kiss,” she said, her voice light and giggling.

  “Can’t wait; been too long,” he growled.

  “It was like forty-five minutes ago!”

  “Too long,” he repeated.

  Delaney got her helmet off and was immediately drawn into a kiss that had her limp and moaning while pressed against him.

  Before they could break apart, a voice from behind them in the garage sounded out. “D.J., that you? Girl, what are you doing fornicating in front of my business?”

  Delaney turned to see her father coming out of the open bay at the same time she felt the warning rumble roll through Will.

  “Dad, you remember William Klein?” Of course, her father remembered him; she just hadn’t been in a situation to get caught by her father while making out before.

  “Mr. Klein. I would have thought you’d be back on your way home by now,” Ray said as he approached. The meaning in that statement was clear. Stay away from my daughter, and go home.

  “Mr. Owens, I’m sorry we haven’t had a chance to talk the last few days. To be honest, I met your daughter, and she has been the only one on my mind since then. We just spent the day together, and I plan on spending the rest of the week here. I’d like for you and Delaney to come back to Vegas with me for a long visit. I can set you up at my hotel, and you can relax by the pool. You’ll be treated like the highest roller we have through our doors.”

  “Well, that sounds awful fancy. Why would you do something like that?”

  Again, Ray Owens was not a dumb man, and it was clear that his daughter was involved with Will. But Ray wasn’t going to make it easy on anyone.

  “I’d like to get to know your daughter better, and I’d like to introduce her to my parents. I have a large family back home, and your daughter is very special; she means a lot to me. I want her to see where I live and hopefully convince her to move to Nevada with me.”

  Ray watched him for a minute his eyes narrowing. “Large family, huh? So how can you know you want my daughter to spend more time with you after just a few days?”

  Giving Delaney a look, he stepped away from her towards her father. “I can’t really explain exactly how I know. But believe me when I say I have nothing but the most honest intentions with your daughter. She’s everything to me, and I would do nothing to hurt her. I respect her more than you can know.”

  Will kept his gaze on Ray and told his cougar to stay back and let him handle it. Will thought he had a hold on his animal, but he could feel the edges of his eyes flare. He blinked trying to cover it.

  Ray was rubbing his chin looking between his daughter and Will. “You ain’t one of those bears, are ya?”

  Delaney couldn’t help the yip that squeaked out of her at the question.

  Will stood for a moment absorbing the question. “I’m sorry, did you say a bear?”

  “You heard me. Don’t think I don’t know all about your kind. I used to know a man that used to live out in the woods. Old crazy Clay, I called him. Was out hunting one day and saw him buck naked in the woods. Next thing I know, instead of Clay there was a bear. My pa told me all about shapeshifters and the like. Clay’s eyes had that same yellow glow that yours does.”

  Will should have known that Ray had heard stories while growing up. Folk tales were early entertainment. “No sir, I’m not a bear. I’m a cougar.” He let that statement hang in the air and waited for a response.

  “So you aren’t ever going to leave my girl? Never gonna cheat on her and always treat her right?”

  “Yes
sir, I can promise that,” Will vowed.

  “I bet you can. Crazy Clay always said his kind waited their whole life for the one that was meant for them. Not finding that person could drive a person mad. I can’t say that I like the idea of my daughter leaving me to live thousands of miles away.” In that moment, Ray looked sad at the idea.

  “Does it help if I tell you that we plan on being here often, and you are welcome to stay in Vegas anytime? I also have a corporate jet that I can send to pick you up, anytime you want to see Delaney.”

  “Well hell, boy. That might just do after all,” Ray chuckled.

  Delaney came around the back of Will and grabbed her father into a hug. “Daddy, are you really okay with this?”

  “Sweet girl, I only want you to be happy. I know I couldn’t give you much growing up. I kept you out here all to myself because I didn’t know what else to do. I was happy with your momma; she was the light of my life. If this man is going to make you happy, then I could never keep you from him or a chance at what your mom and I had.”

  “He does make me happy. It’s funny, but I’m pretty sure that every day with him will be a little happier than the last.” She glanced over her shoulder at Will. Delaney’s afternoon in the arms of a man that clearly thought she was better than sliced bread was a revelation to her. He spent the afternoon not only telling her he loved her but showing her.

  “Well then, I guess I’m in the market for a new mechanic. You know I’m shit at working on cars,” Ray said with a snort. “When you all leaving?”

  “We are here for a few more days. Then I thought I’d show Monkey here where I live. You’re welcome to come along; I know my family would like to meet you too.”

  “Monkey?” Ray asked, looking at Delaney.

  “Grease monkey. He thinks he’s funny,” she explained.

  “Hell girl, rich, good looking, and funny. You hit the jackpot on this one,” Ray said, giving her another squeeze.
