NICK
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
Mate.
The word repeats in my head as I stalk my woman through the trees. Her scent envelops the space, trapped and concentrated by the canopy above.
She loves this. The way her syrupy scent blooms around me and fragrances the air proves that. But she won’t give in just because I demand she does, just because I taunt her a little.
She’s going to make me take her.
Another growl loosens itself from my chest at the way she’s not just playing along but truly embracing this.
Embracing me.
Mmm. Here. She’s hiding somewhere in this area. She ran in a zigzag nonsensical pattern, getting her scent all over the place so it’d be harder to pinpoint her. While intelligent, that move won’t protect her for long. Not with my entire being focused on her.
I close my eyes, letting my other senses take over. My head turns reflexively, and I open my eyes to a tree with a little bush to the side.
I stalk forward, muffling my footsteps as much as possible. But even the forest waits with bated breath to see how our scene plays out.
Izzy leaps out of the brush, zipping past me lightning fast. I can’t help but smile, letting her disappear for just a second before I charge after her.
She’s quick and nimble as she jumps around the obstacles in her way, but I’m faster. Bigger. I overtake her in moments, lifting her in my arms and falling backwards so I take the force of the impact of hitting the ground myself. Then I roll her underneath me, her back to my front.
Her ass lines up so perfectly with the erection I’ve had ever since I sent her the text telling her where to go. She struggles, writhing against me until I’m moaning in her ear and clamping one hand around both her wrists on the hard ground above her head.
“You gave a good chase,” I tell her, nibbling on her earlobe as she pants. “But not good enough.”
“Next time,” she replies, a defiant fire in her voice that makes my heart practically leap out of my chest.
Next time. Next time. Next time.
I rain kisses down her neck, not letting up on my dominant position. “I look forward to it. Now, tell me, do you like these clothes?”
“I—”
I don’t allow her to finish. My claws elongate, and I slash through the back of her top and pants. Her gasp draws into a long moan as I sink my teeth into one plump ass cheek.
“I’ll buy you new ones.”
“Nick, I don’t care about the fucking clothes, just do something.”
A dark chuckle is my response. “Is that what you want? Shall I tease you first? Draw it out?”
She glares over her shoulder as much as she can in her prone position. “Not if you value your life.”
I like this side of her—what the chase has brought out in her. Confident, defiant. Sexy.
“Then take my cock out if you want it so bad.” I flip her onto her back, releasing her hands just to see what she’ll do. Her clothes hang awkwardly on her body—blocking my view of her—so I rip them the rest of the way off before she can do anything else.
Her fingers fumble with the band of my sweatpants, tangling in her excitement. Finally, she yanks them down just enough to wrap a cool hand around my cock.
I practically purr at the feel of her soft skin. I lean down to take her mouth, a clash of teeth and desperation as we fight for dominance here as well.
My hand clamps around her neck, squeezing just a little until she yields to me. Lets me lick into her mouth and taste her sweetness.
She trembles underneath me as she lines me up to her sopping wet entrance. “Please, please, please.”
“I’ll take care of you, darling,” I promise, filling her beautiful pussy in one long thrust. “How in the hell do you feel better every single time we fuck, Izzy? I swear to the Goddess you’re perfect.”
She claws at my shoulders, trying to pull me back down to her, and I go willingly, drinking every single moan down as if they were the very thing I need most in this world.
In this moment, they are.
I lift her bottom, wrapping her thick thighs around my middle as I pound into her. Lift and lift until she squeals, letting me know I found the exact spot I wanted.
Leaves and dirt tangle into her hair as we rut on the forest floor. It’s desperate, filthy, and animalistic.
I want to howl to the sky as she tightens around me, but I’m not ready for this to be over. I need more.
Abruptly, I pull out from her completely. My cock dripping with our mixed desire.
“Wha—?” Her eyes are black, fogged over with lust.
“Shh.” I lean down, grasping her hips in my hands and yanking her lower half to my mouth. Her hands immediately snap to my hair, pulling and yanking as I take ownership of her pleasure.
She’ll come on my tongue before she comes on my cock. And then I’ll lick her clean.
I circle her clit with the tip of my tongue as I thrust three fingers into her pretty pussy. The resulting cry rings through the forest, making my cock jump toward her.
The need to be buried inside my prize thrums in my head as I double my efforts.
“I’m not fucking you until you come, Izzy,” I tell her.
She shakes underneath me, so close to the edge I can taste it on my tongue. My canines elongate, scraping against her clit softly, but it’s enough.
She practically wails, screaming her pleasure to the forest canopy above us as her orgasm floods my taste buds. Fuck, she tastes so damn good.
I don’t allow her time to recover. I lift and slam my length inside her, resuming my punishing pace. She and I are going to come together.
“Nick, I—” She meets my gaze, vulnerability flashing across her face. For a second, I swear she’s going to tell me something monumental. And then, another moan falls from those pretty lips, and her eyes close to the pleasure. “Just like that.”
“No, darling.” I flip her onto her stomach without disconnecting us. “More.”
I press my teeth to the back of her neck as I take her from behind, ass cheeks slapping against me in the most beautiful rhythm.
“Give me your orgasm,” I growl, biting down just hard enough to bruise but not to break the skin.
She lights up like a firework, hand snapping to my hair and pulling it as she squeezes like a vice around my cock until I roar into her skin.
My knot swells to bursting as I empty myself inside her, pumping my hips until we both fall limp to the ground.
I roll us onto our sides as I wrap myself around her, nuzzling into her hair.
I love this woman, and I don’t want to spend another day of my life without her.
