“Caleb?” She touched her waist. Last night, when he’d grabbed her, she’d felt a sting. It was only as she was getting changed she realized he’d damaged her clothing and there had been a cut with dried blood on her waist. It was such a small cut she’d forgotten all about it. He opened her dress by tearing it open. She glanced down to see most of her body was exposed to his gaze.
“I’m so sorry,” he said. He touched where there had been a cut and she cried out.
“Please.”
He climbed off the bed.
“Caleb, what’s happening to me? I’m hot all over.”
She stared at him. Saw him swallow. There was pain in his eyes. “I … not when you’re like this.”
“I don’t know what this is. Do I have rabies? I don’t know what this means.” She cried out, begging for more, but she didn’t know exactly what it was.
“You deserve so much more.” He leaned down and kissed her stomach.
She gasped, arching up. “Yes, yes.” She would gladly beg for him to put out the fire currently consuming her body. So long as he didn’t stop.
He moved up toward her breasts but he did stop. “No!”
She whimpered. “Please!” She had lost count of the number of times she’d said that one word. And she didn’t care. “I beg you. Please.”
He stepped off the bed and she sat up. Her body shook with need. “I have never felt like this with anyone.”
“And you won’t ever feel like this with anyone else. I’m so sorry.”
“Why do you keep saying that? What did you do to me?”
Within seconds, he had her face in his hands and he was kissing her. It wasn’t a sweet kiss, or their first date locking of lips. This was a possession unlike anything she’d ever experienced and she didn’t want him to stop. He devoured her until she lost all sense.
“Do you have any idea how much I want to fuck you right now?” Caleb asked.
“Then do it. I’m yours, Caleb. Just do what you want with me.” She was a virgin, but she couldn’t bring herself to stop begging. This wasn’t her. She knew deep down to her soul that something wasn’t right. But she’d wanted Caleb from the first day she’d met him.
Caleb pressed his body against her, and for the first time in minutes, she could think. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she tried to rub her body against him.
“I need you, Caleb. I need you to take me, to have me, to fuck me.”
He took hold of her hands, placing them above her head. “You’re going to have to do as I say,” he said.
“I’ll do whatever it is you want.”
“I don’t know if you’ll remember this but … you’re mine, Bethany. You’re my mate. My woman. Mine to protect. I didn’t mean to hurt you last night.” The hand that wasn’t on her hands slid down her body, touching her side where she had the cut. “I know for females that a cut or a bite from her wolf can start the mating process. I’ve never known it to be this intense.”
“You don’t make any sense.” She stared into his eyes. Last night, she’d dreamed of a wolf and as she looked at him now, they were the same gray eyes. No, this was crazy. “No, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I know what I’m talking about and so do you.” He kissed her neck, licking over her pulse, calming her need.
The hand on her chest moved down and she tried to get him to touch between her thighs.
Licking her lips, she tried to moisten them. When he cupped her between her thighs, she truly thought she had died and gone to heaven. She couldn’t recall a time she’d felt so alive, so open. His palm rubbed between her legs and even though she wasn’t touching herself, she knew how wet she was.
“I’m going to take care of you. First, I need you to come for me,” he said.
“Then you’ll fuck me?” The need for his cock was so intense. Even as a virgin, she couldn’t help the hunger.
Caleb kept her hands locked above her head.
“Let me touch you,” she said. Bethany would do anything to get her hands on those hard muscles.
“Tomorrow, you’ll thank me for what I’m doing.”
“No, I won’t. You get to touch me but I don’t get to touch you. That hardly seems fair. Please, Caleb.”
He groaned but didn’t let go of her hands. Instead, he took her lips and focused on her clit, rubbing her hard.
She was so close to orgasm that as he made her come, she didn’t feel it was enough. The need only grew, and she became insatiable.
Breaking from the kiss, she cried out.
“I know. I know. I’ve got you. It’s going to be better this way.”
