Karl swallowed down the lump within his throat and tried desperately to hold onto the growl that was rolling through his chest and upwards … every inch of his body had responded to that one word – bond – like it was the sum of all being, the meaning of life – and he guessed that for him, it was.
She was.
“What do you want to know?” Karl asked with his heart in his mouth.
“If you’re ready for that…”
“Me?” Karl twisted his head on his neck and looked down at her face as she turned her face up towards him. “Are you?”
“I asked first,” she scoffed.
“You’re the human here…”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” she gave a small chuckle that time.
“Not bad – just … if you were a shifter then we probably would already have been bonded.”
“Oh!” She hadn’t read that part. “Why?”
“Because once we know we’ve found our mate then we know it’s forever … why waste time, I guess?”
“I … guess…” she smiled to herself.
She hadn’t thought of it like that either. In so many ways she had to say that made sense.
What would you be waiting for if you found the one – the absolute one – one hundred percent not a mistake … not taking a chance … not Mr Right Now, but the sure thing?
Why wouldn’t I jump in with both feet?
It’s not blind faith.
It’s not take a chance and hope it works out.
A split-apart.
My other half in every sense possible…
Why wouldn’t – shouldn’t, I let fate have its way?
“You’re human, Bonnie – there’s no rush to mate. I told you that I’m not going anywhere. I can wait – I can wait just as long as you need to get things straight in your mind…”
“Shut up,” Bonnie said on a grin as she pushed up onto her elbow and met him face to face in the moonlight.
She edged forwards, bringing her lips towards his, and felt his hand reach around the back of her head and palm it. He stretched his head forwards and met her halfway – bringing his lips against hers – soft – warm lips that made her heart melt and her body ignite with desire for more.
Bonnie opened for him and he deepened the kiss.
One strong, muscled arm wrapped around her body and he eased her up against him, bringing her soft curves on top of his hard ones as she lay down the length of him with room to spare…
Mine…
Karl almost lost the will to keep the bear caged deep inside of him as he revelled in the moment – kissed her into submission and back to feisty again – and he growled at the feel of her body squirming down the length of his.
His rock hard length begged to be released from the confines of his sweatpants. It had plenty of room inside the material to twitch and be jostled by her body, but like him – he guessed that it wanted skin to skin contact – wanted to be buried deep inside of her and feel her tight channel clamp down around it…
He was driving himself almost crazy with wicked thoughts, dirty ideas, and flashes of them naked – her wrapped around him like a damn vine as he took her over and over…
His hands ran down over her back and he fisted the hem of her shirt – whipping it up over her head and breaking their kisses for just a moment. He tossed the shirt away and palmed the soft smooth skin of her back, growling at the feel of skin against skin – wanting more – needing so much more…
He ran his hands up and unhooked her bra, freeing her breasts to press against his chest – now he really did want skin against skin. He craved it.
He rolled her over onto her back, and yanked his skirt off over his head before he came down on top of her, caging her in with his body, and feeling the press of her hard nipples against his skin…
He growled at the sensation, the need, and the desire that rolled through him. Every inch of him was alive with wanting her, needing her, and the feel of her hands against him sent him almost wild…
Karl reached out and captured her wrists in his hands. He pressed them back against the mattress and kissed her dizzy – then he started a long overdue and much needed tour of her body.
He nuzzled between her neck and her shoulder and took her scent – revelling in it as he pushed her hands up over her head and held them there with just one large hand as the other found her breast and cupped it.
He used his forefinger and thumb to roll the nipple, and her back arched with a sound that caught in her throat and sounded so damn sexy that he needed to hear it again, and again.
He dipped his head and replaced his finger and thumb with his mouth, closing his lips around that hard bud and suckling until she rolled her hips against his.
His cock begged for mercy – begged to be free, but he wasn’t done with her breasts or the rest of her body just yet.
He was hungry for her – hungrier than he’d ever been in his life before, and he was determined to touch and taste every inch of her…
Karl worked his way down her body, finally releasing her hands so that she could touch him, only because he had no other choice. He removed every barrier between them, and revelled in the feel of her body against his.
Bonnie wasn’t content to let him have all of the fun – she wanted to touch – to taste him – to fist his cock and see how it fitted within her hand – to feel the satin skin in her mouth and taste him on her tongue, but the moment that she tried to reach for him, he just moved away…
“I wanna play too,” she breathed, just as he was settling those large shoulders in between her open legs, and with one hell of a damned hungry growl, and a very sexy look up her body with his jet black eyes – he dipped his head and licked up her sex, making her gasp, making her eyes close briefly, and causing her to push her head back against the pillows…
“Not right now, honey…” he growled with the bear in his voice and her body responded by kicking a lot of excitement her way…
And then she was lost to what he was doing to her, for her, as he devoured her sex and savoured the taste of her on his tongue…
There wasn’t a chance in hell that she could ever have held back the tide of her orgasm – with his hands locked around her thighs – she couldn’t have dragged herself away if she’d wanted.
Bonnie couldn’t move – every inch of her had melted from the intensity of the release – she had to try to remember how to breathe, but her body kicked in and did that for her – and she pried open her eyelids to the sight of Karl, looking every inch the predator as he climbed up and over her body … all of those hard muscles on display…
His jet black eyes were hungry and locked on hers as though if he looked away she might take off running. She was certainly mesmerised by the sight of him – naked, and with every muscles moving under his taut skin – he was an Adonis…
She reached out with the need to touch, to feel the power of those muscles as they moved – to capture his cock and love it the way that he had loved her sex … and yet, he ducked her hands once more, captured them in his own – laced their fingers together, and pushed them down over her head against the mattress…
“I’m not going to be able to control myself with your hands on my body…” he warned on another deep, hungry growl…
“Good…” Bonnie grinned, but it was a damned dirty, sexy, and very wicked grin that she offered him.
Karl used his knees to spread her thighs wide, and he lowered his hips down towards hers – the feel of her wet sex greeting the head of his cock as he rubbed it back and forth against her juices…
“Be careful what you wish for, honey…”
“I read some very wicked tales about shifters online – and I want you like that – I want you to let go…”
“Not yet, baby…” He found the opening to her channel and pressed in – demanding that her tight muscles give way for the girth of his cock…
Bonnie’s lips parted and she caught her breath at the size of him as he pressed into her…
He rocked back and pressed onwards once more. He felt the fever that was in his blood start to really heat up.
Her inner muscles willingly gave way to his demands, as he stretched her wide around him – her muscles clamped down and he growled like a hungry and tormented man…
“Now that’s gonna send me wild…” he warned her, and saw the wicked smile spread her lips.
Karl pulled his hips back once more before he pushed right to the hilt on a growl of pure pleasure.
Her mouth opened involuntarily and she cursed at the depth and width of him stretching her wide…
“Did I hurt you?” Karl froze in place…
