Chapter 9
NINE
Knox
“What a day,” Logan groans as I pull up in front of his place.
“I know. Thanks for coming with me, brother.”
“Anytime. You know I have your back.” He leans over and claps me on the shoulder before he climbs out of the car.
“Have fun tonight.”
He grins. “Oh, I will. Good luck with your mate.”
I take a deep breath. “Thanks. See you.”
I shift into drive and take off. Logan’s house isn’t far from mine, and I spend the time thinking about Daisy, about licking her sweet pussy and having her come all over my face.
Then my thoughts turn to what happened with Joe and the police.
When Daisy hears my news, I hope she decides to stay here with me now that she’s a free woman.
I pull up in front of my cabin and hop out of the car. My bear is a prowling beast beneath my skin. He’s pissed that we’ve been away from our mate all day. I don’t blame him. I hated being away from her too.
All the lights are off, and I wonder if Daisy is already asleep as I let myself in the front door.
“Daisy?”
The floorboards creak, and I hear Daisy’s soft footsteps as she runs to the top of the stairs.
“Knox,” she moans.
I can smell it instantly.
Her need.
Claim her! my bear roars, swiping his claws at me.
“Daisy,” I choke out.
Desire slams into me. Between my bear growling orders at me, my lust, and smelling my mate’s sticky-sweet need, I’m overwhelmed.
It’s hard to think straight, to know what to do first. Before I can figure it out, Daisy flies down the stairs and launches herself at me. She wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. Then she slams her lips onto mine.
I turn, pressing her against the wall near the door, kissing her back with all the pent-up desire I’ve been holding back all damn day. My cock is rock hard in my jeans, and when Daisy grinds her hips against me, I break the kiss with a curse.
“The meeting went well,” I choke out as Daisy kisses her way down my neck.
“Hmm,” she moans.
I curse under my breath again, trying to organize my thoughts as she swirls her tongue against my skin.
“Joe is—”
“Knox,” she interrupts, looking at me with lust-filled eyes. “I need you. Tell me how it went later.”
“Yep,” I agree, my fingers diving into her hair as I tilt her face up and claim her lips with mine.
I push everything out of my head except for taking care of my mate. Daisy’s movements grow erratic as she rocks against me. She’s wearing one of my shirts and a pair of my boxers. My hands slip under the shirt, brushing against her ribcage. I use my hips to pin Daisy in place against the wall.
I skim my fingers over the swell of her breasts, then cup the soft mounds in my palms, teasing her nipples. Daisy cries out, her back arching off the wall as she pushes her tits into my hands.
“I need to get you upstairs, mate,” I groan.
“Yes. Bed. Now,” she pants.
Gripping her ass, I pivot and carry her upstairs.
“Did you eat dinner?” I ask as her tongue flicks against the shell of my ear.
“Uh-huh. I saved you some,” she whispers.
“Thanks, mate.” I kick open our bedroom door and march over to the bed.
Setting Daisy on the mattress, I move over her.
“I need you,” she pants, tugging at my clothes.
I stand, stripping my shirt over my head and dropping it at my feet. My hands go to my belt buckle, and Daisy pushes up on her elbows to watch me with dark, hungry eyes.
I nod at her clothes. “You too, Daisy.”
I undo my belt buckle and unzip my jeans as she sits up and reaches for the hem of her shirt. Pausing, she bites her bottom lip.
“Mate?” I ask in concern.
“I just—I’ve never been naked in front of someone before,” she explains.
“Daisy, you’re smoking hot. I’m not sure if it will help, but fuck, I can’t wait to see you naked and wearing my bite mark.”
Daisy blushes, but a spark of confidence ignites in her eyes.
“Are you ready for this? We can stop,” I assure her.
“No!” she shouts. “I mean, I don’t want to stop. I want this, I want you.”
She takes a deep breath, pulls the shirt over her head, and tosses it aside.
“Fucking hell,” I growl, my eyes locked on her mouthwatering curves. “You’re perfect, mate.”
Daisy smiles, blushing slightly. Leaning back on the bed, she wiggles the boxers down her thighs and kicks them toward me. I catch them easily, bringing them to my nose and inhaling deeply.
My bear roars in my head at Daisy’s delicious scent.
I toe off my boots, push my jeans and boxers down my legs, and then I’m on her.
My hand wraps around her waist, and I lift her, dragging her into the center of the bed.
I slam my lips on hers, nipping her bottom lip until she opens her mouth for me.
My tongue licks inside her mouth and tangles with hers.
She tastes like chocolate and strawberries.
I moan, cupping her face as I deepen the kiss.
Daisy sucks on my tongue, and my cock jerks against her thigh.
“More,” Daisy begs. “I need more.”
“I’ve got you,” I promise.
I kiss my way down her neck and over the soft swell of her breasts. Daisy squirms beneath me, her breasts jiggling with the movement, and I growl at the tempting sight.
Wrapping my lips around one stiff peak, I suck the sweet bud into my mouth. My tongue rolls over it, and my mate whines in need. I suck hard, and Daisy cries out. I switch to the other breast, giving it the same rough treatment.
The mating heat is growing stronger—too strong. I should control myself, make sure this is perfect for Daisy, but neither of us can wait any longer.
“I’m going to taste you. Then I’m going to claim you, mate.”
Daisy nods, her golden eyes glowing with yearning.
I kiss her once more, then I crawl down her body to settle between her thick thighs.
My mate spreads her legs wider, and I growl when I see how wet she is for me.
Her pussy is dripping with her juices, and I lick my lips, my mouth watering.
My bear roars in my head. He needs me to claim her, mark her.
I need that too, but first, I have her taste on my tongue.
There’s time for that later! my bear snarls. Claim her first!
No. I need to make this good for her. Then I’ll make her ours.
He growls again but doesn’t argue as I lean forward and bury my face in her sweet folds. I moan as her honeyed taste explodes on my tongue, licking up her juices. My cock becomes impossibly hard against the mattress.
Fuck, I need to get inside her.
YES! my bear snaps.
Daisy’s hips jerk upward as my tongue bumps over her clit. I pin her against the bed as I suck her little pearl into my mouth.
“KNOX!” Daisy screams.
Her thighs shake against my forearms as her body coils tight. I lick back down, circling her snug opening with my tongue, gathering her juices, then licking back up to her clit.
I repeat the same path over and over again until Daisy’s hips jerk with each flick of my tongue or graze of my lips against her soaked skin. I do it until her chest heaves in short pants. Until she finally goes over the edge and comes for me.
“Knox!”
I lick up more of her juices, then crawl up her body, line up my cock with her opening, and lick the base of her neck.
“I need to mark you now, mate,” I whisper.
She nods, turning her head to give me more room.
I lick the base of her neck again, my teeth elongating as my bear pushes forward slightly. My teeth sink into her skin as I thrust forward, claiming my mate completely.
“Knox!” Daisy cries out as she comes around my cock.
“Mate,” I groan as I come with her.
Daisy jerks as I lick the wound, sealing my bite. My bear is finally calm and quiet inside my head.
I smile as I look down at my girl. “Mine.”
“Yours,” she pants.
Her fingers dig into my biceps as I pull out slowly, then sink back in.
We both moan as I bottom out inside her.
I start with an easy rhythm as we learn how to move together, but it’s not long before I’m rutting into her like a beast. Daisy’s hips rise to meet each thrust, her feet hooking around my waist as I pound into her hard and fast. I can already feel another orgasm building.
Even when I come again, it won’t be enough.
I’ll still be rock hard, needing my mate all night long.
“Knox…I-I’m close,” Daisy cries out.
I grit my teeth, fucking her until she splinters apart underneath me.
“Daisy!” I shout as I follow her over the edge, coming deep inside her.
Her heels slip from around my waist, and she takes a shaky breath as she melts into the mattress. I smile, gathering her into my arms and rolling us to the side. My cock is still hard, still buried inside her.
She blinks in surprise as I gently move in and out of her tight sheath. “Again?”
“All night. Forever,” I vow.
She smiles and wraps her arms around me as I fulfill my promise.
