I whined, low in my throat. I wanted him inside me, even if it was just one finger—wanted it so bad I couldn’t help but rock my hips down as if I could encourage him to change his mind. He just laughed, low in his chest. “Suddenly so eager, my wolf.” His. His. I swallowed down my moan of pleasure.

He withdrew his hands, and I was about to complain again—but then he slid down the bed. Until he was flat on his belly with his hands on my thighs. His face between my legs.

“Oh, gods,” I gasped, and threw one arm over my eyes. I couldn’t stand to look at him. I was already close, teetering on the brink just from being touched. And now he was going to do—that?

“Pretty thing,” he growled. His breath washed over my cunt and I swore it throbbed with desire. I became impossibly wetter, wet enough that I had to be dripping onto his fine sheets. He gripped my thighs and spread them wider. “Been dreaming of this.”

I flexed my thighs under his hands, just to feel how easily he pinned me in place. He kissed one thigh, then the other, then dragged the flat of his tongue up my inner thigh right to the crease of my hip.

“Elias,” I sighed, “Don’t tease.”

He laughed again, low and pleased. “I like it when you’re demanding.” Then he dragged the flat of his tongue over my cunt.

The sensation was so overwhelming, it was like I’d been plunged into a hot spring. I cried out, hips rocking as I searched out more sensation. I’d never felt anything like it, never anything so hot, wet, and perfect, sending pleasure rolling through me like waves. He licked me again and again, slow, languid movements of his tongue like I was the best thing he’d ever tasted in his life. He kept one hand on my thigh, keeping my legs spread, then grabbed my wrist where my hand was fisted in the sheets.

“Touch me,” he said. “Be rough. I like it.”

“Gods above.” Arousal rocked me to my core. He liked it rough. Of course he did. I tangled my fingers in his soft brown hair and pulled slightly, and he growled with pleasure. My wolf thrilled at the power.

He worked me over with his tongue, slow and methodical, taking his time exploring the heat of my body and driving me mad with pleasure and desire. Then, finally, when I was about to wrench his face to where I really wanted it, he pressed the flat of his tongue to my sensitive clit. I cried out his name and rocked my hips down toward his face, seeking out more pressure, more sensation, more.

He pressed the flat of his tongue to my clit again, again, in a hard rhythm, and I felt my orgasm begin to build low and promising in my gut, rapidly coiling tighter and tighter; I tightened my grip in his hair and arched up, my core tensing, thighs tensing, and then— He stopped.

“Elias!” I whined, slumping back.

He pulled back, just enough to gaze at me.

The sight of him nearly made me come right then and there. He was gorgeous, flushed, his lips reddened and shiny with my slick, his pupils dilated against his gold irises.

“You’re beautiful,” he rumbled, and his voice sounded almost awed. “You taste amazing.”

I was too aroused to be embarrassed. Instead need raced through me, an animal like a shift. I needed his mouth on me. I needed to come. I needed him. I pushed down on his head, guiding him back down to where I wanted him.

He loved that. He growled again, this time around a big, wolfish smile, before he dropped back down and pressed his mouth to my cunt. He focused his attention on my clit first with the flat of his tongue and then fitting his mouth around the sensitive bud and sucking, and I had to bite the palm of my hand to keep from crying out too loudly. The sensation was electric, overwhelming, and this time, he wasn’t teasing. He found a rhythm, the perfect pace, and gripped my thighs hard as he sucked me. My release began to build again, low in the cradle of my hips and then tightening, tightening, until my core was tight, my thighs, my heels pressing into the mattress as I quivered. My breath came in staccato gasps as pleasure built and built and built and finally—

I buried both hands in his hair, holding his face in place. I couldn’t help it—I bared my teeth and felt my eyes flash silver as I growled low, my wolf as overwhelmed as I was by the sensation. My thighs closed around his head, keeping him close as I came harder than I ever had. Pleasure rushed through me, molten hot, setting my nerves alight as I arched against his mouth. It rolled through me seemingly endless, wiping out all thought, all need, everything except the sensation of his mouth on my body and his hands on me. His touch. Him. Elias.

I slumped back onto the mattress and finally loosened my grip on his hair. Dazed, I let one hand fall to the mattress, but kept the other lightly wound in his hair. He kissed my pussy, almost teasingly, and I gasped and squirmed away.

“Sensitive,” he growled, then kissed my hip, my navel, then my ribs over the silk of my dress. Then he was above me, flushed and gorgeous. His mouth still messy with my slick. It made me feel equal parts embarrassed and aroused. Before I could think better of it, I pulled him down for another kiss. This one still hot, but languid, easy, dazed. Just like how I felt under him. We kissed for a few long moments, and with his body pressed to mine, the hard length of his arousal pressed into my hip.

“Elias,” I murmured, “what about…”

“Don’t worry about me,” he rumbled. “This was about you.”

I swallowed, but didn’t protest. I was exhausted already, and I wanted to touch him, explore his body, his muscles—but I was a little intimidated by the size of that burning hot curve pressed to my body. He kissed me again, then pulled back.

“Wait here,” he said. “I’ll be just a moment.”
