Nancy was at a loose end. Ashley had gone off to make coffee, her mate had all but disappeared, and Eliza was obviously a lost cause, having already mated.

She stalked down the hallway, turned at the kitchen doorway, and stopped in her tracks at the sight of Ashley sucking face, and more, with the alpha.

“Whoa! Get a damn room,” Nancy sniggered.

The lovebirds pulled apart, but only as far as they weren’t slobbering over each other anymore. It would have taken a little more than a moment to separate the two, and maybe even a bucket of cold water tossed over them.

Ashley was like a damn vine wrapped around the alpha’s body.

“That…” Kiel started, rushing to defend his mate’s honor.

“Sounds like a damn fine idea,” Ashley said, and then squealed as he turned fast on a hungry growl and started towards Nancy, who was blocking the doorway.

The witch jumped out of the way, because the look on the alpha’s face said he wasn’t stopping for anything, and she didn’t want to get herself steamrollered against the floor.

“And they’re off,” Nancy chuckled as the alpha steamed past her carrying his mate.

Nancy watched them go before she turned back to the empty kitchen. She expanded her hands and looked about her.

Alone once more — she guessed she had time on her hands to figure things out.

The alpha took the stairs two at a time — it would have been more — but with his mate wrapped around his hips, it was kind of hard going as it was.

The extra weight that he was carrying wasn’t a problem, she didn’t weigh that much, but the fact that every time he moved he could feel her hot sex rubbing against his hard length - that was a special kind of torture.

He wasn’t stopping for anything. She’d agreed to be his — kind of — he would have run through fire to get to where he was going.

It wasn’t as if they didn’t have all the time in the world together, they did. He just wanted that time to start now.

Mine…

Kiel kicked the door closed behind him and headed straight for the bed. She wasn’t a one night stand, she was his mate, and he was determined to do things right.

He wasn’t about to take her up against the wall, even though that thought had crossed his mind.

He was about to take her down to the floor and have his wicked way with her either. Boy, had that crossed his mind.

When he got to the bed, he dug his knee into the mattress and placed her right in the middle of the mattress.

“If this is a mistake then you need to tell me now,” the alpha growled against her lips.

“Are you saying you think fate is wrong?”

When he pulled his head back slightly and gazed down at her; she offered him a big, teasing, beaming smile.

“I believe in listening to my elders…”

“And then doing what the hell you want anyway.” She chuckled.

“Something like that,” he agreed. “But I want this.”

“Gee, talk about fickle — half day ago and you hated witches and didn’t like me…”

“That’s not entirely true.”

“Really? Which part?” She chuckled.

“I never not liked you…”

“You were — wary?”

“Something like that.”

“Worried?” Her eyes sparkled with amusement.

“Not exactly.” There was no way he was going to admit that.

“About me being a devious, mischievous, spell crafting, psycho demon of epic proportions?”

“Wow, I’ve never been able to describe myself that accurately — well done,” he chuckled, and she tried to slap out at his chest, but he caught her wrist within the palm of his hand and wrapped his fingers around it, pushing it back against the mattress.

“That definitely deserves a zap.”

“If you must…”

“But, I thought I wasn’t supposed to use my magic?” She challenged him once more as the amusement flared in her eyes.

“For evil…”

“And zapping you isn’t evil?”

“Let’s just say that when you zap me, everything gets extra hard,” he chuckled; it sounded deep and dirty to her ears, and it made the excitement ping within her womb.

“Truthfully, I don’t think you need any help in that department,” she chuckled.

Ashley pressed her hips against his and got a long, deep, groan of pleasure for her trouble.

“Be careful; my resolve is hanging on by a thread…”

“Let me cut that for you.” She rolled her hips against his, tightened the hold of her legs around him, and the alpha felt his wild side baying to be set free.

“That’s the last time tonight that you tease me.” He took her lips in a kiss that caused a shiver to race through her body.

Ashley didn’t think that would be the last time that night, just the last time for a while. She could feel his strength, his dominance, and she knew that he needed to be in control as much for his own sanity as to keep the beast at bay as long as possible.

Kiel’s hands were already working over her clothes, pulling and tearing them off her body. Every inch that he uncovered he tried to claim with his hands, his lips, or his tongue.

His beast was getting agitated. It wanted the certainty of a bond between mates.

His beast had waited as long as possible before testing the man. Even Kiel had to concede that his own fever for his mate was stoking the flames within him.

Naked in front of him on the bed, his mate was glorious. Full of curves where a woman should have them, and he’d explored them all.

When Ashley reached out for him, he moved between her open thighs and followed the alluring scent of her arousal with his lips trailing over her skin before he went insane with the need to taste her.

He did just that — swiping his tongue along her folds and reveling in the guttural sound that came from her lips.

Kiel knew that right then he wouldn’t give a damn if someone was to scream that the house was on fire. Well, maybe he would, but that was only because his protective gene would kick in. But the fact remained that she could pull and tug the damn hair right out of his scalp for all he cared – he wasn’t giving her up before she came undone on his damn tongue.

His wish was granted a few minutes later with the sweetest taste he’d ever had, and the sweetest sound from her lips that he’d ever heard as she lost herself to him.

That sound seemed to be chased up too soon by almost growled demands to be reprieved from the lashings of his tongue against her sensitive nub, but he decided that he still wasn’t giving up until he heard that damn sweet sound once more.

The alpha in him practically puffed out his chest with pride as he climbed up and over her body as his mate came back to him with a look that said she wanted to zap him until dawn.

That look didn’t last long as her gaze flicked down over his hard body and she caught sight of his long, thick cock waving hello at her. When Ashley licked her lips, he almost lost his damn mind.

“Are you trying to kill me?” he growled.

“Wrong witch.” She spat out a chuckle.

“Definitely the right witch.”

He growled at the thought of having her lips around his hard length, but his beast growled some sense into him, and he lowered his hips and rubbed his cock against her sex. Then he pushed into her channel and reveled in just how good she felt.

Kiel wanted to take things slowly, build up a head of steam in the both of them for what came next, but her tight channel, made tighter when she deliberately squeezed her inner muscles around him, made that an impossibility.

  What made it harder still was that his mate didn’t object to him becoming wilder with every thrust inside of her.
