Eric stood on his deck, leaning against the railing. He looked out across the rolling hills below. The moon had finally broken through the clouds and the moonlight reflected on the fresh snow. He knew the crash site was down below even though he couldn’t see it. Even to his eyes it was hidden in the darkness. The image of the crumpled car flashed in his mind and sickened him. Light! He had come so close to losing Iris before he even knew her. But something had called him to her, something bigger than simple luck. He knew fate had brought them together at just the right time.

 

After a few minutes he heard the sliding door open behind him, and Iris stepped slowly across the deck to join him at the railing. She rested her hand on top of his, staring out into the night. They stood quietly for a few minutes. What must she be thinking? What could be going through her head? She had been through enough trauma today to last a lifetime.

 

“How did your mother take things?” She sighed. “As good as could be expected. She’s happy I’m safe, and Sophia, but sad and worried for Ivy. She’s driving over to the hospital now, so at least Ivy will have some family there with her, even if she isn’t awake.”

 

He nodded. “She must have a good heart.” Iris replied softly, “Yes, she does.” She paused for a long second, then continued. “She was asking about the crash though. About what happened.”

 

He felt her hesitate, then gather her courage. She turned to look at him, those deep blue eyes serious and full of questions. “My entire memory of the crash is fuzzy, but it’s slowly coming back. I keep getting snapshots from right after the crash.” She hesitated, not sure how to continue. “And I don’t even know what to think. But they keep coming. Maybe I just have a concussion or something, but I have to get them out. I have to tell you about them or I’m going to go crazy.”

 

Her turned to face her, taking her hand in his, meeting her stunning blue eyes. He could tell she was worried. He didn’t blame her after what she had been through, what she had seen. What her mind was trying to tell her, even though she hadn’t accepted it yet. “Trust me Iris. I won’t think you’re crazy. No matter what. I’ll believe you.”

 

She bit her lip and dropped her eyes, then sighed. “It’s going to sound really crazy, but here goes.” She looked up at him again, still hesitant. Then steeling herself, she continued. “Maybe it was just a hallucination, something my brain made up to cope or something like that, but I swear I saw a wolf and a demon in the snow outside the car. The wolf was huge and silver. It was beautiful in a way I can’t come close to describing, but dangerous and terrible at the same time. I could tell it was wild and fierce, and that being on the wrong side of that wolf would be deadly. But I also knew that it was watching over me. That it would protect me and keep me safe no matter what. It was like the demon was coming for me and the wolf stopped it, keeping me safe.”

 

He reached up and gently rubbed her arm, letting her know it was safe to continue. His fingers tingled as they traced her soft skin. “And then the demon was gone and the wolf was right in front of me in the snow. His face was inches from mine. If he had been any closer we would have been touching, and he was staring right at me, as if he were looking into my soul. I’ll never forget those blue eyes. They were huge and glowing, taking up my entire world, and I wanted to fall right into them. I felt so comfortable and safe. The wolf wanted me to know it was protecting me. I knew nothing could hurt me as long as the wolf was with me. I somehow felt peace with that. And then I drifted away and everything went black.”

 

Eric’s heart melted as he heard her describe his wolf. He wanted to wrap his arms around her, to hold her close in them forever, never letting her go, never letting anything bad reach her ever again. But he knew she needed to keep going, to tell her story in her own way, on her own terms.

 

“And then the other cop was there, waking me like he was pulling me out of a dark dream. I knew he was there, but somehow the only thing I could see was you. You were standing naked in the snow. You were tall and proud like a warrior king, the falling snow swirling all around you, and it was like the world had centered itself on you. Like nothing else existed. Then you turned and looked right back at me, as if you knew I was watching you. I could see your eyes, glowing the same ice blue as the wolf.” Her voice trailed off and she paused for a second, just looking at him. “Just like they are now. And I knew, somehow, even though it can’t be, that you were that fierce beautiful wolf, that you were my guardian.”

 

She turned to face the night again, staring out into the darkness. Then she laughed, her voice shaky. “But I know that’s crazy, that you must have come with the other cops. All of you saved me. You saved all three of us, actually. Ivy and Sophia too. And demons and guardian wolves? Those are fairy tales for kids.” She paused for a long time, then continued in a whisper. “But I can’t deny the feelings I have for you. And I know your eyes. I would know them anywhere. I won’t ever forget seeing them on the wolf.”

 

Eric reached up to trace her hair, to smooth it back from her face. She was so perceptive. So courageous. She turned to face him, resting her cheek in his hand as a tear slowly ran from the corner of her eye. Needing comfort from him. Pain stabbed his heart at seeing her sadness, seeing her doubt herself. She deserved the entire story. She deserved to know everything, to know the truth. She deserved to know that he was hers. That he would always protect her. And that no harm would come to her as long as he lived.

 

He rubbed her tear away with his thumb, gently tracing her face. She reached up and covered his hand with her own, holding tight to him. He looked directly into her eyes and told her the truth. She needed to know, but more importantly, he wanted her to know. To know all about him, to understand him and his life, and hopefully her own as well. “You’re not crazy. Not even a little bit. It’s all true.” She looked up at him, hope filling her blue eyes.

 

“I knew you the second I saw you. Just like you knew me, no matter what my form.” He traced her cheek as the words fell out of his mouth, unable to stop himself. “It all happened just like you remember.” He gestured out into the night, pointing at the ridgeline beside his house. “I saw the crash from up there and I knew I had to get there as fast as I could. I was in my wolven form so I ran straight down the hill. I was there at the bridge just a few minutes after the crash happened. When I reached the car and I saw you inside, and I was thunderstruck. I knew you and loved you in an instant.”

 

She gasped, relief showing plain on her face. She whispered, “It’s all true?” He nodded. Her eyes widened as thoughts flew through her mind. Still whispering, she continued. “And… and. What?” She flicked her tongue over her lips, hesitating as she processed everything he had said. “You love me?”

 

There was nothing he could say. He needed to show her. To prove his love to her. To show her it was real, that there was something magical between them. That they were fated to be together. That she was his One True Mate.

 

He leaned down and kissed her, gently pressing his lips against her soft red lips, caressing her cheek as he pulled her towards to him, his fingers grazing the silk of her hair.

 

A bolt of electricity flew between them as their lips met. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, softly at first, then slowly becoming more insistent, more passionate as the kiss continued. He stroked her hair and she pressed herself against him, all hesitance gone. He was in heaven. Nothing had ever felt as good as kissing her, feeling her body in his arms, her soft hair under his fingers. He rested his forehead against hers as the kiss broke, savoring the moment. He would treasure it forever. He whispered back, confirming what she already knew. “Yes, I love you. With all my soul.”

 

She held him tight as she whispered back words that were magic to his ears. “I love you too.”

Desire flooded through Iris as this beautiful man, her beautiful wolf, held her, his strong arms circled around her. She didn’t understand what was happening, but somehow she knew that she loved him with all of her heart, with all of her being. He was a part of her now. She shivered. The way he was staring at her with those intense icy blue eyes was driving her wild.

 

Heat surged through her body and her core tightened. His hands gently stroked her back, leaving traces of fire along her skin, stoking the fire inside her core into a raging inferno. She didn’t feel the cold of the snow or anything else. She knew it was freezing outside, with snow and ice piled up on the deck, but her body was flooded with warmth, as if she was immune to the cold, as if the heat from his touch overpowered everything else. She remembered him standing naked in the snow earlier, the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, his muscles rippling across his chest and shoulders and down his abs to where his manhood had been standing hard and thick. She felt heat build inside her core until all she could focus on was how much she wanted him, how much she wanted to see his naked body again. All of it. She distantly wondered if somehow the cold wouldn’t affect her after this. She could deal with that later though. Right now all she could focus on was the feeling of her mate’s arms wrapped around her, the feel of his hard body pressed against hers.

 

She pressed herself tighter into him, pressing her body against his as she kissed him again. She moaned as her lips met his and he kissed her back passionately. He was an amazing kisser, caressing her lips, biting them softly and flicking his tongue gently over them. She could feel the steel of his hard cock pressing against her, and she started to move without thinking, rubbing her body against him, wanting to feel more of it.

 

He moaned back against her, kissing her deeply. She opened her mouth to him and his tongue slid inside her mouth, circling against hers, devouring her.

 

His hands slid down her back, slowly sliding down to cup her ass. She gasped as he squeezed her ass and pulled her even closer to him. She slid her hands over the ripped muscles of his shoulders and chest, savoring the feel of his body, the strength of him. She thought again about how he had looked standing naked in the snow. Rippling muscles covering his body, wide shoulders and chest trailing down to a narrow waist and a gorgeous tight ass. She wanted to slide her hands over every inch of his body, to feel the soft skin over tight muscles, to take her time exploring it.

 

She slid her hands back up over his shoulders and neck, gently trailing through his blonde hair, pulling him close as he kissed her. His hands were all over her body, driving her wild as they squeezed her ass, then slid up under her shirt, caressing the bare skin of her back.

 

She felt trails of fire move up her back under his hands, flowing through her body. Her core tightened with desire. She felt the heat building and moaned against him. She needed to feel him too. She slid one hand to the bottom of his shirt, pulling it up and slipping her hand underneath. She slid the palm of her hand up his stomach, feeling the edges of the rippling muscles there. God she wanted to lick those muscles, to taste them. And everything else. She heard him moaning too, almost like a low growl and she thought about how the wolf had looked at her, staring straight into her soul. She moaned. She wanted him to take her, right there in the snow, more than she had ever wanted anything in her life.

 

She broke their kiss and whispered breathlessly. “Take it off.” He didn’t hesitate, grabbing the bottom of her shirt in both hands and ripping it up over her head. She stood in front of him in her just her jeans and her lacy black bra. Her breathing was heavy and her skin dimpled with goosebumps, his touch driving her wild. His blue eyes glowed in the moonlight as he stared at her, mesmerized.

 

She reached behind her and undid the clasps of her bra, letting it slide off her body and to the ground. He slid his hands up from her waist, tracing over the soft skin of her stomach to her ribs, making her gasp. Her nipples hardened as his hands slid over her body, his eyes never leaving her breasts. She closed her eyes, savoring the waves of pleasure as his hands cupped her breasts, slowly sliding over them, squeezing softly, his strong fingers gently caressing her soft skin.

 

She gasped, pleasure flooding through her, flowing directly from her breasts to her core. She needed the rest of these clothes off right now, needed to be naked with him, to feel him touching her entire body, to feel him inside her until they joined as one. She kissed him again, sliding her tongue into his mouth, twirling her tongue around his.

 

As they kissed, she reached one hand down and started unbuttoning her jeans, not willing to wait any longer. His hand slid down on top of hers, gripping her wrist, stopping her. She groaned in frustration, her hips starting to move involuntarily, pressing her core against him as his other hand caressed her nipple.

 

She pulled his hand in close to her belly, pressing it against the sensitive skin there, burning at his touch. She moaned as he trailed his kisses down the side of her neck, over her collarbone and down the top of her chest. He flicked his tongue over the sensitive skin there, gently kissing and caressing his way down to her breasts. She leaned back, offering her breasts to him. She gasped as his tongue flicked over first one nipple, then the other. Her nipples hardened into diamond peaks, then pleasure exploded through her body as he sucked her nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it as he sucked and kissed.

 

He trailed his tongue over her chest as he moved to the other nipple, gently sucking it into his mouth as well. She wrapped her fingers in his hair and held him against her chest, reveling in the feeling of his warm wet mouth kissing and sucking the hard peaks.

 

He slid down to his knees in front of her and kissed his way down from her chest to her stomach, trailing his tongue over her body, planting soft butterfly kisses all the way down to the bottom of her stomach and the waistband of her jeans. His hands pressed against her knees and slowly and sensuously slid up her legs and hips, caressing her thighs until he reached the button of her jeans. He slowly unbuttoned them and dragged them down. He kissed lower as more skin showed under the jeans until he was at the edge of her lacy black panties.

 

She gasped, legs going weak as he pulled her jeans and panties down and slid them off her legs in one smooth motion. She leaned back against the railing to support herself, not even feeling the cold, not feeling anything but his touch as he knelt in front of her naked body. She saw desire burning in his eyes as he looked up at her as if he were memorizing every inch of her body. She had never felt more beautiful, or more desirable than now, seeing this gorgeous man look at her like he wanted to devour her body. Like he could never get enough.    

 

She trembled as he leaned in close, planting light kisses on the inside of her knee, then trailing up her thigh, pushing her legs open. As he kissed higher, she raised her leg up, resting it on his shoulder, opening herself up to him. Her core was molten and wet with desire. His hands slid up the back of her legs, squeezing and massaging until he gripped her ass in his strong hands. She moaned. God she wanted him.

 

His kisses reached her center and he slowly slid his tongue all the way from the bottom of her core to the top, savoring the delicious wetness he found there. She moaned as his tongue slid sensuously through her folds, then pressed into the center of her core and slid inside her. She felt the heat inside her core as he pressed his tongue deep, and she pushed herself against him, loving the feeling of him inside her.

 

Waves of pleasure flooded through her body and she let go, rocking her hips, thrusting against him as he slid his tongue in and out. He slid his tongue to the top of her core, focusing on her clit, gently sucking it into his mouth as her hips rocked against him, pleasure building inside her. Pleasure exploded as his tongue circled her clit. She moaned, her body throbbing as waves of bliss flowed through her body.

 

She screamed out as he slid a finger inside her, teasing the velvet folds of her core, driving her over the edge. She clamped down on his hand and thrust her hips hard against him, an orgasm ripping through her, pleasure exploding from her center. She grabbed his head and pulled him tight to her as waves of pleasure flooded through her.

 

After what felt like an eternity she fell back against the railing, body going limp as the orgasm slowly subsided. God! He was unbelievable. She had never felt anything like that. No one had ever focused on her like that before. She felt like her orgasm had lasted for hours.

 

He gently kissed his way back up her stomach until he stood in front of her. She kept her eyes closed, still savoring the feeling as he caressed her body. As he stood in front of her she slowly opened her eyes. She felt like she was moving in slow motion, savoring the pleasure still lingering in her body. But she needed to see him. Needed to see his reaction. She opened her eyes. His blue eyes were glowing intently, and he staring her as if she were the most wondrous thing he had ever seen. Love and joy washed over her and she felt complete here in his arms. Was this what love was really like? Was this what she had to look forward to? Would sex with this beautiful man always be that intense?

 

Somehow, even though she had just come harder than she had in her entire life, passion raged inside her. She was insatiable. She had to have more, had to go all the way. She needed him to take her fully. She needed to feel him thrusting inside her, driving her over the edge as they joined together as one.

 

She reached out, sliding her hand up his body, caressing his chest, loving the feel of his soft skin and hard muscles. But wanting more. Needing more. She slowly licked her lips, then stared deep in his eyes. She couldn’t wait any longer. She whispered to him, her voice low and husky. “Take off your clothes. I need you inside me.”

 

He growled, the sound deep and low inside his chest, making her shiver, tightening her core. He ripped his shirt over his head and kicked off his pants faster than she could believe. In seconds he was standing in front of her, completely naked, beautiful and fierce. She marveled at his body, the wide shoulders, thick arms and rippling muscles of his abs trailing down to a beautiful cock, long and thick and hard as steel.

 

She couldn’t take her eyes off it. She reached out with one hand and trailed her fingers along the hard length, then wrapped them softly around it. She squeezed it in her hand, amazed at how hard it was. She ran her eyes over it, savoring every detail. He groaned and his cock throbbed in her hand. She slowly stroked it, loving the feeling of his hot skin sliding over the steel core. His hips started moving and he thrust into her hand as she stroked him, moaning in pleasure.

 

Her core tightened, hot and wet as she imagined what his cock would feel like as it slid inside her. She shivered as traces of her last orgasm flared within her, reminding her of the heights he had taken her to with just his tongue and fingers. Desire burned within her. She wanted him inside her. She needed him inside her.

 

She pulled him close, sliding her leg up the outside of his thigh then wrapping it around his body. She rubbed the tip of his cock against the wetness of her core, moaning as it slid along the velvet folds, then pressed against her opening. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up, supporting her weight in his strong arms, pressing her body against the railing. She lifted her other leg, opening herself fully to him, and wrapped both legs around his waist. She buried her face in his neck, moaning as his hips pressed forward and his cock slid all the way inside her with one smooth stroke.

 

Pleasure exploded through her body, radiating out from her core. She was in heaven. It was everything she imagined it would be. He felt so amazing inside her, his hard cock filling her core, penetrating to the center of her being, the thickness stretching her until she cried out. He pulled her body tight to his, crushing her breasts and nipples against his chest. She wrapped her arms around him, locking them together, joined as close together as possible until they moved as one.

He started moving his hips, slowly at first then building up speed. She moaned as his cock stroked in and out, with each stroke pulling almost all the way out then thrusting all the way back in until he was buried deep inside her. Her hips thrust back against him, the soft velvet of her core gliding over the steel shaft of his cock, her internal muscles squeezing and caressing the thick shaft as they built a faster and faster rhythm together. His cock pounded into her, driving her to heights of pleasure she couldn’t have imagined. She screamed out again as another orgasm, even stronger than the first, built inside her core.

 

He lost his rhythm as she squeezed him, hips thrusting frantically as he lost control, desperate for release, desperate to lose himself inside her body. His wild thrusts, his cock buried deep inside the center of her core, drove her over the edge. Her molten core clamped down against him, squeezing his cock tight inside her as a second orgasm ripped through her. She screamed out, unable to contain herself. He thrust hard inside her, and she felt his cock empty, pumping at her center as his orgasm took him. His hips thrust, short and violent, and her own orgasm kept going on and on as she felt him release inside her.

 

Waves of pleasure flowed through her body and all she could focus on was his cock buried deep inside her, joining them together as one. Her body trembled, her core pulsing in rhythm with him as she held him tight, coaxing the last pleasure from his cock until he finally stilled deep inside her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. He nestled his head against hers and whispered in her ear. “I love you Iris.”

 

A tiny tear formed at the corner of her eye and rolled down her cheek. She had never felt so complete, so perfect as she did with this incredible male. He was a part of her now. She whispered back. “I love you too.”

Eric settled back onto the deck, still holding Iris close to him. He would have passed out from pleasure if he hadn’t needed to support her. His body was still radiating waves of pleasure from cumming inside her. Light that had been amazing! So far beyond anything that he had ever experienced that it couldn’t compare. It was like a blind man finding sight. How could words even describe it? He had never even imagined that anything could feel like that.

 

As they stood in the snow, naked on the deck, he saw Iris look across the deck to the hot tub sitting in the corner. Thin tendrils of steam were drifting out from under the cover and flowing up into the cold night air. She raised an eyebrow hopefully. “Does that thing work?”

 

Her voice was low and raspy and she sounded like she was struggling to find words. Eric couldn’t help but laugh. He felt the same way. Spending some time in the hot tub with his mate would be his idea of heaven. “Oh yeah. It definitely works.” She laughed with him. “Show me? I could use something to recover after that.”

 

He laughed. “Of course.” He reluctantly separated from her, feeling the loss of her touch immediately. He kissed her cheek softly and took her hand in his, and together they walked across the deck to the hot tub. He lifted the cover and slid it off, then pressed the buttons on the control panel to start the jets and the lights inside. Pale blue light shone up from beneath the water of the tub, and bubbles surged as the jets kicked on.

 

He helped her up the steps and over the side. She settled down into the water, slipping across to the other side of the tub as he followed after her. She closed her eyes as she leaned back on the bench, settling her head against the edge and sinking in the hot water up to her chin. She let out a long sigh. “Ahhhh. This is amazing.”

 

____________________

 

Thirty minutes later they were still recovering in the hot tub, luxuriating in the feel of the hot water contrasting with the cold air. Snow had started falling again, tiny flakes drifting gently down around them, melting as they hit the steaming water.

 

Iris felt she was floating inside a dream. An island of serenity inside the chaos of the last twenty-four hours. She rested her head against the back of the tub and let her legs trail out into the tub, feeling the jets of hot water rush over her sensitive skin. She looked up at the night sky. A patch of brilliant stars was visible where the heavy grey clouds had parted, like the heavens were opening just for her, showing her the brilliance of the universe.

 

She looked across the tub at her beautiful wolf. Somehow in the span of just a few hours she had fallen completely in love with him. She couldn’t imagine ever being separated from him. She watched as he lay back against the edge of the tub, hot water flowing around his perfect body. He looked like he had been carved from ice, the sculpted muscles of his shoulders and chest just visible through the steam rising from the hot water. His arms were spread across the back of the tub, biceps bulging as droplets water rolled down off his arms into the tub. His blonde hair was slicked back, showing the chiseled features of his face. His eyes were closed and a slight smile was on his lips as he lay back. She hoped he was thinking of her. She couldn’t stop thinking about him, about how amazing sex with him had been.

 

She floated on her back, closing her eyes. Images of her wolf flashed through her head as she remembered the feel of him inside her, the way her body responded to his. Her nipples hardened in the cold night air, tingles of desire spreading through her body. She looked back over at her wolf. Two earth-shattering orgasms in one night and still she wanted more, wanted to feel him inside her again. He looked so delicious laying back in the hot water. She couldn’t help herself. She stood up in the tub, staring at him, her core tightening with desire as she glided through the hot water towards him.

____________________

 

Eric opened his eyes as he felt Iris cross the tub. She took his breath away as her body closed with his. The look in her deep blue eyes as they traveled over his body, desire burning within them, drove him wild. His cock stiffened just looking at her. Light! He could not get enough of this female. He could lose himself in her forever. She licked her lips and pressed her body against his, her hard nipples rubbing against his chest as she settled herself on his lap, straddling him. Desire roared inside him as she kneeled on top of him, her gorgeous naked body wet and slippery.

 

He groaned as she grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him deeply, pressing her lips against his and pushing her tongue into his mouth. His cock throbbed, hard as steel, as her naked skin slid over his and her tongue swirled in his mouth.

 

He kissed her back as she sank down on his lap, the velvet folds of her core caressing the hard shaft. Her hips started tracing small circles on top of him as she rode him, sliding her molten core along the length of his cock. A deep growl built inside his chest. She looked so beautiful in the night air. He was dying to slide inside her, to push his cock deep inside her core, to bring them both to another explosion of pleasure. He reached down to her hips, ready to shift her body so he could slide inside. She stopped him though, grabbing his wrists in her hands and pulling them up to her chest, to her hard nipples. She had other ideas. She leaned down and kissed him again. She traced her tongue across his lips, then slowly and sensuously trailed it down his neck, licking a line of pleasure down to his chest.

 

She slipped off his lap and settled down in the water. He moaned as she kissed lower on his body. She kissed his renqua, tracing her tongue over the crescent moon shape on his shoulder, nipping it with her teeth, sending tingles of pleasure coursing though his body. She slowly trailed her tongue across the rippling muscles of his chest, kissing and biting his skin, flicking over his nipples, then tracing lower into the chiseled muscles of his abs. He felt completely helpless under her spell, intoxicated with the pleasure she was giving him, unable to move, never wanting it to end.

 

She looked up at him, her deep blue eyes holding his as she slowly tasted every inch of his skin, slowly and sensuously licking her way down the front of his body, working lower. He groaned as he watched her tongue caressing his skin, pleasure flooding through his body, his cock hard and throbbing until he thought it would burst.

 

She whispered up to him. “Sit up,” and pointed to the edge of the tub. He stood up in the water, standing tall in the night air, cock hard and throbbing against the cold air, then settled back to sit on the edge of the tub, waiting for her. She gently pushed his legs apart and slid through the water to kneel between them. Still looking up at him, she leaned down and took his cock in her mouth, gently sucking the tip, slipping her tongue around it while he groaned in ecstasy, then sliding down until the length of his hard shaft was held warm and wet inside her mouth.

 

She swirled her tongue around his cock and he groaned out loud. Her mouth was driving him crazy. His cock throbbed in time with the beat of his racing heart. He watched, captivated as her head bobbed up and down, her mouth stroking him, pleasure flowing through his body. She traced her hand up his thigh and wrapped her fingers around the base of his shaft, stroking his cock as she sucked hard on the tip. All the while looking up at him, making sure he knew exactly what she was doing, making sure he knew she loved his body, making sure he knew she loved him.

 

He looked down at her, this perfect gorgeous angel, as she lovingly sucked his cock, and wondered how he had ever gotten so lucky. Love exploded inside him, driving his desire to new heights, rising until he couldn’t think of anything else but his mate. Thoughts of claiming her filled his mind. He couldn’t wait another second. He needed to take her completely, to make her his forever, to show her he was hers forever, to truly join them together as one. He needed to claim her right now.

 

He reached down and cupped her face in his hands, gently pulling her off his cock and up to her feet. He stepped back down into the water, standing in front of her, and kissed her with all his passion, swirling his tongue over hers, showing her all of his love and desire. They were consuming him, his instinctive need to claim her driving him onwards.

 

He fought for a few seconds of restraint, finding the clarity to ask her the question, to make sure she felt the same way. He needed to know she was ready for what he needed. He forced out the question, his voice a deep low whisper, nearly a growl. “Do you trust me?” She looked deep into his eyes, like she was staring into his soul, like she knew what he was truly asking her, how much more the question really meant. She whispered back. “Yes. Completely.” He choked out one more question, desire burning within his body. He trembled with the pain of containing it. “Do you love me?” Her whispered answer was the same, with no hesitation. “Yes, completely.”

 

Passion raged through him. He was unable to contain it any longer, unwilling to even try. He gave into his desire completely, needing to take her, needing to make her his, needing to join them together forever.

 

He slid his hands down to her shoulders and in one smooth movement spun her around so her back was to him. He pressed his body against hers, their wet skin sliding together, his hard cock pressing against her ass. He leaned down and roughly kissed the back of her neck. Goosebumps flared on her skin as he traced his tongue along the sensitive spot on her back where her neck met her shoulder. His cock throbbed as he savored the taste of her. He couldn’t get enough of this female.

 

He pushed her forward, bending her over, her arms braced against the edge of the hot tub, presenting herself to him. She slowly rocked her hips, unable to contain her desire, her ass grinding along the hard length of his cock. She whimpered with pleasure as she felt his hard shaft press against her.

 

He ran his hand down along the center of her spine, tracing the soft skin and muscles, sliding all the way down from her neck to her ass, then sliding all the way down to her core. He slid two fingers inside, feeling how hot and wet she was. She whimpered again, spreading her legs, opening herself up to him, giving herself to him completely. She thrust back against him as his fingers slid inside her.

 

His growl, deep and low, echoed through the night. He couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood tall and pressed himself against her, lining his cock up with her wet opening. He drove himself forward with one smooth thrust, burying his cock in her core.

 

Her tight wet core gripped his cock, squeezing him tightly, ecstasy building inside him. He lost all control, thrusting powerfully inside her, driving his cock deeper and deeper, driving them both towards an earth-shattering orgasm.

 

He felt it building inside him, and drove himself even faster, desperate to release inside her, desperate to bring her with him. He could feel her quivering around him, the muscles of her core squeezing and caressing his shaft as it stroked inside her. She was so close, he knew he only needed a few more seconds. The muscles deep inside her core clamped down powerfully, squeezing his cock in a vice-like grip. She screamed out as an orgasm ripped through her body.

 

He felt himself unbalanced, right on the edge of his own massive orgasm, unable to hold out any longer. He reached down inside himself, seizing his power and sending it through his body. His fangs extended inside his mouth and he leaned down across her back, burying the razor sharp fangs in her body, savoring the feeling of them sliding through the delicious soft skin where her neck met her shoulder. Her hot blood washed over his tongue as he sucked deeply, claiming her as his. She screamed, all control of her body lost, her orgasm extending and growing, driving her to new heights of pleasure as he claimed her. Her core squeezed tight against him, locking him in place inside her, and he lost control. His orgasm exploded within him, and he thrust his cock deep, burying himself inside her, losing himself in her body as his seed pumped inside her.

 

Silver light exploded from her body, lighting up the night and flowing upward in waves to the night sky. Wings of golden light, traced with veins of fiery red, burst from her back. His vision faded, until all he could see was gold and red light surrounding them and all he could feel was the pleasure of their bodies joined together, the pleasure of his One True Mate. He felt the wings of light wrap around them, raising them up, higher and higher, floating them up into the sky as bliss took them, until there was nothing left but their shared joy and love.

 

As the light slowly faded, the two of them settled back down into the hot tub, still joined together, Eric still buried deep inside her, his arms wrapped tight around her, holding her close to him. The skin on her back was clear and unbroken, unblemished except for a small scar on the back of her shoulder in the shape of a crescent moon. He gently kissed the scar and she shivered. He whispered in her ear. “I love you Iris.” She turned, pressing her body against his and wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight. She whispered back to him, words he would never tire of hearing. “I love you too, my beautiful wolf.”
