CHAPTER TEN

 

Even though Adam was experienced, in life and in lust, he’d never felt anything like the beautiful ache of having Simone fall asleep in his embrace. As a surgeon, he’d grown used to implicit trust. People who neither knew him nor even liked him would submit to his strengths, and place their lives in his care. It was the coldest kind of trust he could imagine.

He had literally held dozens of hearts in his hands, yet not one of them had affected him like this. It was only a metaphor, but the way he now held Simone’s heart meant everything. She was his second half. His completion.

He’d seen it all around him. Not all wolf mates were in love. Hell, it was only through finding Simone that he realized how disconnected he and Jennifer had been. Mates in function only. Their wolves were compatible enough not to kill each other.

Simone filled his world and his senses like nothing ever had. His bond to her felt stronger even than the immutable tie to his own wolf, if that were even possible.

But above all else, Simone had shown him the majesty of embracing his wolf again. And the folly of trying to deny such an essential part of his own being for so damn long.

He ran his fingers over his mark on her shoulder and she stirred, sighing lushly in her sleep. He pressed into it and her sigh caught a little friction and turned into a moan. As always, the sound of her voice, especially when expressing pleasure, spoke straight to his cock and he was rock hard in seconds.

“Damn you, little one,” he muttered as he rolled her down off his chest and cupped her pussy, delving his fingers through the luscious wetness that seemed permanent whenever he was near her. Her wolf was already born, already growing in her blood. And any hunger and lust she’d known as a human would be ten times stronger now. Finally, Adam dared to believe he could live the dream.

Fated mates.

Simone sighed again in her sleep, arching her back in the way that always sent Adam crazy, pushing her gorgeous full body skyward. As he ground lightly on her clit he moved down and kissed her belly, gradually drawing closer to the fragrant meal he craved.

His need driving him so hard it bordered on anger, he rolled over her leg and dragged her thick, juicy thighs apart, diving his face between them and devouring her spicy slit.

Simone came awake with a long, sweet sigh and hooked her fingers into his hair, dragging him against her pussy and pumping into his face. Every time he thrust his tongue she was there to meet it, to swallow him whole.

“Up here,” she murmured, her voice a salty rasp that was impossible to resist. “Up here and fuck me.”

Adam licked his way up her body, latching on to her nipple as he passed before doing the same to the tender skin of her throat.

“Come on, asshole. Fuck the foreplay. Put it in!”

Adam’s wolf threatened to pierce his skin as it howled within him. He held it at bay long enough to get the fat head of his cock into place and drive himself inside her.

It was his turn to arch his back, bending until he was mimicking his wolf, howling at the sky with pleasure.

Simone scratched her nails up his arms as she curled her legs around his waist. She pulled at his ass with her feet and hooked her hands around his neck, dragging on him, her bottomless brown eyes begging for him to kiss her.

He fell upon her, every inch of him the hunter, driving his tongue inside her, in harmony with his cock. Simone lapped at his lips and chin, drawing traces of her own desire from his skin, and always coming back to suck deeply on his tongue.

“Oh, mister… you’re gonna make me come again.”

“It’s my calling, little one.”

As he slammed his hips into her, the waves of motion that ran through her big, beautiful body were as hypnotic as they were erotic. Only through Simone had he realized, once again, where his true tastes had always been. Her lush curves were more than just a drug to him. They were life itself.

And when the flush spread across her skin, and her barking moans became nothing but breath; when her body seemed to vibrate beneath him, around him, and even through him, he knew it was perfect. Her climax was the most beautiful and pure thing in the world, and only upon seeing it course through her could he allow himself to finish.

Charges of lightning grew in all his extremities, from scalp to fingers to toes, and they shot inward, punching his belly and driving the most amazing climax from deep inside him. As he ground out his need, dashed himself against Simone’s incredible body, he finally knew what home was.
