Chapter Twenty-Four
Xander had no idea what had triggered the impromptu kiss, but after almost a week of misery, he was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Lowering his body so she didn’t have to stretch so far he kissed her back, unable to hold back or be gentle. His fingers curled into the snowy ground and without another thought, he lifted her up in his arms, carrying her back toward her house. Greer wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms locked around his neck and she continued to kiss him.
When her nails traced across his back, scratching his skin lightly, he stopped and pressed her against the side of a nearby pine tree. He reached between them, gripping his cock in his hand and rubbed the tip against the wet folds of her pussy.
Xander pulled away, his gaze boring into hers. “I’m yours, Greer. And you are mine.”
“I am yours and you are mine,” she repeated, her eyes warm.
With a hard thrust, he seated himself inside her, the walls of her body hugging him, gripping him tightly. He pulled out and pushed in again, listening to the moans, the squeals, the delicious, breathless sighs with each motion.
He wanted more, still. He wanted to mark her as his.
“Do you want me to mark you? I promised you I would ask your permission.”
Her gaze met his and he saw the storm clouds in them, the raw pain.
“It’s kind of a moot point, don’t you think? I’ve already been bitten.”
“The point is that I respect you and there is a difference. Biting only turns you, but when I mark you, I’m claiming you. Showing everyone that we’re one.”
She lifted up and brushed her lips against his. “Thank you.”
He smoothed back her hair with one hand. “Is that a yes?”
“Yes! Fuck, yes.”
Xander pulled out of her and before she could protest, he spun her around to face the tree. The slight downward hill made him just low enough that he could slide up inside her from behind. He placed his left hand on the trunk of the tree above her head for balance and his other came around to finger her clit as he pumped in and out of her. He held onto his control as he waited for the telltale signs that she was going to come. At the first spasm of her inner muscles, he bit her, clasping his jaws around the back of her neck gently. He held on, increasing the pressure of his teeth as he worked his fingers faster against the nub between her legs. Her body shook against his, and just as he could tell she was starting to come down, he grabbed her hips and pushed himself as deep as he could go. His motions turned jerky as his cock flexed, his come shooting inside her as he kept moving. She cried out before collapsing against the tree, trembling in his arms.
“Are you alright, baby?” He smoothed her hair off one shoulder, smiling at the indentation of his teeth in her skin.
“I’m fantastic” she breathed.
He turned her around to face him, his cock slipping out of her. He dipped his head and kissed her, a gentle brush of his lips over hers.
“Does this mean I can come home with you?”
She laughed and pulled out of his embrace, backing away from him. His gaze traveled over her full breast, her curved stomach, and rounded hips and found himself getting hard all over again.
“If you can beat me, I’ll consider it.”
She took off, shifting with a leap and Xander chased after her. In his wolf form, he nipped at her hind end, and shot forward, determined to win his prize.
He reached her back door first and turned in several circles excitedly.
Greer shook her head, and when they were human once more, opened the back door. “I let you win.”
“I’ll take it.”
The moment the door closed, Xander spun her around and kissed her, only she broke it too soon.
“Wow, Xander, is that all you think about?”
“Kissing you? Touching you? Loving you? Yeah, actually, that is all I’ve thought about for two weeks.”
She backed away from him, a sly smile on her face. “Well, right now, I want a nice, hot bath.”
Greer disappeared inside her room and he waited, listening as the sound of rushing water reached his ears. She poked her head out a second later and crooked her finger at him.
“Aren’t you going to join me?”
Hell yeah he was.
