Penelope kept trying to string words together that made some kind of sense, but with Sawyer’s warm breath caressing between her legs she simply couldn’t.

But when he put his mouth on her sex…

Holy crap.

She knifed forward and grabbed his head as the rioting sensations exploded with each stroke of his tongue. Before she could catch a single deep breath, he pressed against her clit, causing her body to tremble as he worked her with both gentle and firm strokes that easily coaxed her to the edge of release.

By the time he finally pressed his tongue inside her, she was gasping for breath and unable to stop or control anything happening between them.

At the same time his growls grew louder and symphonized with her whimpers as his wicked tongue worked magic with her body. Layers and layers of pressure built inside her until she lost herself and screamed. “Oh God, Sawyer. I’m coming!”

He groaned against her skin, but didn’t stop or slow his ferocious moves until her body spasmed in a breath stealing release.

With the aftershocks still coursing through her, Sawyer slid up her body with a devilish smile that made her heart race even faster. If the still pulsing orgasm wasn’t enough, he pierced her with a need filled gaze that promised he was far from finished with her.

“I have condoms,” he growled.

She shook her head. “I’d rather feel you skin to skin.”

Sawyer groaned above her. “You have no idea how badly I want that. We don’t have to worry about sickness, but I could get you pregnant.”

“I’m on the pill,” she gasped, when the head of his cock bumped the perfect spot between her thighs. The twinge of nerves she’d felt when she’d gotten a look at the size of his erection dissipated.

They might not have known each other that long, but they’d been through a lot. Enough for her to know and trust that he would never hurt her. You don’t risk everything to save someone’s life only to destroy them later.

“You’re sure about this?” The hesitation in his eyes warmed her heart.

She reached up and touched the scar that bisected his lip. He closed his eyes and she immediately felt a vibration coming from his chest.

“I’m absolutely positive,” she said, rolling her hips. “I want—no I need to feel everything.”

He didn’t hesitate after that, pushing into her slowly as she stretched around him. She smiled into his neck, both from pleasure and the knowledge that her need truly was a trigger for him.

When his hips bumped hers, fully seated, they both groaned in unison. Her already sensitive nerve endings from her first release were on overload.

Sawyer pulled back until their gazes collided and she got a clear look at the golden glow of the wolf that made up his other half. They were all together. In sync. Nothing held back.

He pressed forward again and her train of thought splintered. Words of perfection and ecstasy fell from both their lips as he moved within her, making her believe that everything either of them had been through in the past had to be worth it. Because it brought them to this moment. Maybe fate had been at work in them the whole time. Either way, they were together now and they would belong to each other forever.

She would definitely fight for forever.

Penelope dug her nails into Sawyer’s back as a tingling pressure welled up inside her on each deep stroke of him inside her. In response he pumped into her faster. Her eyes widened as she watched a parade of emotions flash in his golden eyes. It was as if she had the pleasure of watching him succumb to the same amazing thoughts going through her head.

He thrusted harder, making the bed underneath them slam into the wall on each downward stroke. She almost laughed. Maybe they really were going to break the furniture.

His breathing grew ragged and her equally forced pants filled the room. Heat pooled deep in her chest and began to spread to her limbs.

There was something there—unfurling. Could it be that she was turning wolf? For the first time in days the thought didn’t alarm her.

“Do you feel it, too?” he rasped, the sound more wolf than man. “Do you need me to stop?”

She thrashed her head from left to right and dug her nails deep into his skin. “Oh God no. Please. Do not stop.”

A half smile formed across his face as he grabbed both of her legs and wrapped them around his waist. The next drive ignited her from the inside out as the first pulses of her second orgasm rocketed through her.

Her muscles clenched and cries of pleasure echoed through the room as Sawyer rammed home one last time, sending shockwaves and heat rocketing through her as his climax shook them both like an unstoppable tidal wave.

For a moment, Penelope couldn’t move or breathe as the sheer force of pleasure seized through her muscles. Sawyer’s arms shook as he held himself over her, making sure not to crush her.

When he finally fell, Penelope caught him and pulled him impossibly close. When he looked like he wanted to say something, she cut him off with a hard kiss that said more than words ever could.

Eventually her heartbeat came down, the heat in her chest subsided and her muscles relaxed, forcing her to gently end the kiss. When she did he smiled down at her and her world again tumbled ass over end.

She’d finally found home.
