Chapter Thirteen
Jayden woke up to sun streaming through the window hitting her face with the warmth. Happiness seemed to come with it. She rolled over and instantly stopped. Her body rolled into something solid, hard, and warm. She peeked over her shoulder.
Thorn grabbed her and pulled her over, right into his arms.
She squealed loudly, “Oh my God! You!” She couldn’t remember how they’d gotten into the room and bed they were now in. Jayden wiggled her body out from underneath his. “Thorn, show me to the bathroom, I have horrible breath.”
He grabbed her waist and tugged her body right back into the bed. “You’re not going anywhere until you give me a kiss.”
“No way! My mouth—”
He didn’t give her a chance to argue. He covered her lips and forced them open with his tongue.
After a few seconds, Jayden stopped caring. This was her mate, and he’d saved her life and, even now, took care not to be too rough with her. She had to wonder, how could such a large man be so gentle to her?
Releasing her mouth, he moved down her body kissing, touching, and exploring.
At first, she was a little shy but letting him have his way, it soon became apparent he was in full control, and she was flying along next to him. It felt natural to be with him, lying in bed in the early morning, making love to her mate. Why? She had no idea because knowing she’d saved her virginity just for this moment meant everything to her. If those men had succeeded and stole that from her—Jayden had no idea how she would have been able to live after that.
Knowing she fought hard to keep what she was now giving to this man freely opened her up to overcome her shyness and turn into a woman who wanted to pleasure her man as much as he was giving to her at this moment. She moaned. “Thorn, I’m not sure what you’re doing but you better not stop.”
He continued to work his way lower along her body, every part of her healed and feeling strong. She propped her upper body up on her elbows and gazed down at Thorn’s dark mane of hair and where he’d landed with his mouth on her most private area. He was doing who knew what with his tongue, but it felt like heaven to her. Her body pinged with desire and heat.
He lifted his head and smiled. “You are so delicious, I think I’ll just stay down here for a while.”
Jayden felt the heat creep up to her face turning her a deep shade of crimson, but she certainly wasn’t going to stop him, never. She loved this man something fierce. To wake up in his arms after what had happened to her was a miracle all by itself. She wanted to jump up and scream to the world how happy and healthy she felt. Her body and mind stronger than ever. Why? She had no idea. When they were done doing whatever Thorn was doing, she would ask him.
Her body responded to his exploration and it soared upwards to an earth-shattering explosion, she yelled out, “Thorn! Oh, myyy…” She couldn’t continue until it was over, she laid back and panted hard. Until her breathing returned to normal, she had no idea what was going on around her.
It appeared that Thorn did. He crept up, and using his mouth, he kissed her body until he was over the top of her.
Jayden couldn’t stop the smile forming on her lips. When his face loomed over hers, he gazed down, kissing her bottom lip, whispering, “That is mine, never chew on it again.”
“Ohhhh, you’re so demanding, my man.” She giggled.
He smothered her laughter with his lips.
Opening herself to let him explore her body felt beyond exhilarating. She knew he’d joined their minds and he stayed with her. Jayden didn’t doubt for a moment he trusted she was over what happened to her. When? She had no idea, the concept of time was gone.
She could feel all the passion and love he had for her. She could sense this was foreign to him as well because until he met her, he’d had no way of knowing what real love and heartache was all about. A leader of an entire race of people, his heart had always been in the right place, but he had no idea how to express it.
Jayden knew he was overwhelmed for a moment and it grew difficult for him to slow down. It’d been a long while since Thorn had been with a woman. She saw all of this when he opened up to her. She smiled, knowing she had his entire attention, and he was trying to go easy to help her be ready for him.
She decided to go easy on him, whispering in her mind, ‘Thorn, I can’t take this anymore. I’m more than ready to take you into my body.’
‘Little one, you must have patience, I don’t want to hurt you.’
‘You’re hurting me now, by going so slow.’ She sent warmth and love flowing into his mind. Showing him how she wanted him and felt ready for what he could only pleasure her with.
Thorn took a deep breath and allowed himself to just feel. He closed his eyes then opened them and stared down at his mate.
Jayden’s bright eyes gleamed, unshed tears of happiness glimmering there as she opened her soul to him.
He allowed himself a few moments to just feel emotion. He knew he loved his children, as well as friends and his pack members. However, to know how to love this tiny, powerful woman actually became too overwhelming for him to take in and try to focus on just pleasuring her. He kissed her thoroughly, moved his hand down, and could feel she was more than ready as she promised. He groaned loudly, “Jayden, love, you are everything I’ve ever dreamed of. You are more than ready for me, but I would still like your permission?”
When she acknowledged him with only a nod, he smiled. Moving his body slightly to adjust himself to enter her slowly, he tried not to hurt her at all. He didn’t want her to remember those men who attacked her. He contained the fire inside him. He wanted to move very slow and let her body adjust to his size. He could feel her warm core surround him and her hot wetness welcome him into her body.
She grabbed his ass and pulled him into her further, deeper until he hit her very core. Jayden panted and begged him, “Thorn, you’re driving me mad.”
He covered her mouth with his own and almost violently kissed her as he pushed himself all the way in, breaking through and taking what she so freely gave to him. Thorn’s heart swelled with love and pride for this warrior woman, his mate. Jayden had been so strong she didn’t let her trauma overcome her love and passion for him.
Thorn broke their kiss, he moved down to touch her neck and kissed her along her hot skin as he moved his cock in and out of her hot, burning pussy.
She welcomed the feel of him inside her.
He wanted this moment to last awhile longer, so he pulled himself out of her and started kissing her body. Touching, kissing, and blowing on her hot satin-like skin as he made his way off the bed. He pulled her legs to the edge of the bed. She tried to prop her way up, but he pushed her down. “I want you to enjoy, my love, I’m here to pleasure you.”
“Thorn, I want you inside me now!” Jayden screamed.
“Patience, my love. If I stay in there too much longer, I will come and be useless to you.” Thorn groaned, before diving in and using his tongue to pleasure her once again. He set her feet on his shoulders to give him complete access to her wet, hot pussy. Her bottom on the edge of the bed, Thorn blew softly on her core.
Jayden bucked and tried to reach for him. When he lowered his head once again, she grabbed a handful of his hair and pushed his head deeper, her want apparent to him.
Thorn smiled, happy to give her everything her little heart desired. He licked and sucked her clit and folds until she was writhing, moaning, and begging him to complete what he’d started. He couldn’t stand it any longer, the torture to his own body was too much for him. “Oh, baby, you taste so good, so sweet and pure,” he whispered as he picked her up and moved them both to the middle of the bed. “I need to be inside you now.”
Thorn joined their lips as their bodies slid together. He smothered her cry with his lips, enjoying what she so freely gave to him. He waited to make sure she wasn’t feeling any pain and she relaxed again, for him to begin moving inside her. When he buried himself deep, it only enhanced the feelings he’d been sharing with her in their joined minds. He felt her enjoying their lovemaking as much as he was.
Moaning, she managed a whisper, “That feels—”
His lips took away the words. Instead, Thorn answered her in his mind, ‘Jayden, relax and just enjoy. You’re perfect for me.’
‘It feels so good. Oh, baby, harder. I want so much.’
No longer thinking, just moving within her as his body took over, they just moved. Learning to pleasure each other was pure joy in Thorn’s heart. Their passion mounted, as he moved in and out of her and brought her back up almost to peak. He slowed down until he knew they could continue without losing his mind. He grabbed her leg and lifted it up toward his shoulder. It only made it possible for him to go deeper inside her. Thorn growled near her ear. “Come with me, Jayden, let yourself go, baby.” He then continued thrusting harder and faster than before.
She managed a helpless whimpering moan.
He knew her passion mounted, so he lunged forward and cried out as he spilled his seed deep inside her.
This only sent her over the edge and beyond once again. Panting into his ear, “Oh, Thorn.”
He pushed into her a few more times bringing completeness with him. They were still joined in their minds and to know what she felt brought him once again to completion. It would be impossible to describe the thoughts and feelings they’d felt for each other during their mating.
Jayden remained speechless as they parted.
Thorn rolled off her but kept her tucked tightly to his warm naked body. Within seconds, he felt her body totally relax as she fell asleep. He whispered, “Good night, baby, I love you.”
Thorn couldn’t help himself, he held her for what felt like hours and watched her sleep. When she started to move around a bit, he looked down at her lovely face.
Jayden opened her eyes and yawned. “Oh my God, I can’t believe I fell asleep.”
“You were tired, my love.” Thorn wanted her to sleep as long as she needed to heal. Her body a Lycan now, she would wake fully converted.
Jayden shook her head, trying to wake up, but something felt different inside her. Why did she feel stronger, lighter, healthier and, what—content? Her senses were nearly driving her mad. She could smell, see, and hear everything around her. The deep male breathing beside her she knew everything about him, was Thorn.
Memories of everything that happened bogged down her mind. Jayden had wanted a little alone time before she talked with her mate. She slowly scooted to the edge of the bed, wrapping the top sheet around her. She didn’t want to wake him.
“Where are you going, love?”
She must have woken him when she tried to leave. “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to wake you.”
“You wouldn’t be able to keep me from knowing. My wolf senses everything before the human does. He woke me and told me my mate was trying to sneak out.”
Her eyes widened, she quickly turned her head toward him. “Really?”
“No, I’m just messing with you. My wolf is part of me. We feel the same thing always. He just makes me who I am is all.”
His deep chuckle relaxed her. “If you don’t mind, I really want to take a shower?”
“Of course, this house is as much yours as it is mine. Do you want me to show you where everything is?” Thorn asked.
Jayden couldn’t believe how different he seemed even from yesterday. Thorn looked happy and relaxed. Nothing showed her today of him being the powerful Lycan leader. No, today he was a man who just wanted to take care of her.
“Hold on I’m just taking a look first. I still can’t believe you are all mine.” He touched her cheek gently with the back of his hand.
A small part of her reveled in his open admiration, but at the same time, a larger part of her still couldn’t believe the happiness about the connection they’d had from the very beginning of their relationship. No shadows were in her heart from yesterday’s attack, nor worries over her shop. She had a feeling Lucien and his men would have cleaned it up for her. Nobody wanted her to see everything again, as it had been last night. “Shit, my inspection!” Jayden realized about her shop as she jumped up dragging the sheet with her. She also forgot about her purse and cellphone. “Where is my stuff?”
Thorn reached for her. “Honey, don’t worry about that right now. Lucien promised to lock up and collect your things. Go take your shower. I have a few calls to make.” He slapped her lightly on her ass.
Her heart skipped a beat. “I trust you, Thorn. Thank you.” He was teasing her after all. Calming her racing heart down by taking in a few slow breaths, Jayden was able to slowly make her way to stand next to the bed. Her entire body should be sore. Instead she felt as if she wanted to stretch then run.
He showed her to the master bathroom attached to the large bedroom they just exited.
“Thorn, how did we get upstairs from the den, which by the way I loved.”
He smiled. “I carried you, love. I thought you’d feel better waking to the sun shining. You’ve been sleeping for six days and seven nights.”
Stunned, her mouth popped open. She gulped and asked, “Seriously, how can that be? I’m not even hungry. How did I not wake up to go to the bathroom—”
He touched his finger to her lips. “Jayden, you’re so full of questions. Relax, hon, and go take your shower. I’ll cook us something to eat then we’ll talk. I’ll explain everything.”
She nodded then let him lead her to the huge tiled shower inside the bathroom. Jayden couldn’t wait to get under the powerful jets of water from both sides of the shower stall. She let the hot water spray run down her back as she bathed. Rinsing off the scent of Thorn reminded her of the lovemaking they’d had. Running the luffa across her new and healthy body also brought back memories of her attack. How she’d slept six days and seven nights still was a surprise to her. How? She refused to let panic take hold and destroy the happiness she experienced this morning waking up next to Thorn.
Her thoughts turned to her long absence, she needed to go into town and set things back to normal. Suddenly, she felt the need to rush through her shower. Finishing washing up, she shut down the water and stepped out. She landed on a mat, Thorn must have put in front of the stall. It had to be at least an inch thick, her feet sunk down. It felt wonderful on the bottom of her feet.
After drying off, she wrapped the towel around her and left the safety of the bathroom in search of Thorn. Her nose picked up the smell of food being cooked, and it reminded her stomach she hadn’t eaten in days. If she’d been honest with herself, she couldn’t remember the last time she’d actually eaten. The aromas enticed her path down the hallway and into the kitchen, where she found Thorn slaving over a hot stove.
His body swaying back and forth listening to a song playing over her head on a surround sound which had been installed throughout the house.
“I love music.” She pointed above her.
Thorn turned and smiled. He beckoned her to him with his hand.
The song playing reminded and brought her life into perspective for her. Even though she’d just found him, there was this love she didn’t know how to describe, and it scared the hell out of her. How could anyone fall in love so fast? Frowning, she walked up beside him. “Thorn?”
“How was the shower?” Thorn wore only sweats that hung low on his hips.
Jayden ran her fingers around the large wolf tattooed on his back. The entire large area of his torso held the symbol of the Lycan. “The shower felt amazing.” She wrapped her arms around him, laying her head on his back. “Why are you always so warm?”
“That would be the Lycan. Once I teach you how to work with your wolf, you’ll be able to control your body temperature as well. We were made to sleep outside in the middle of the winter. In the Ukraine where we were originally founded, it is cold half the year.”
When he turned and gathered her into his arms, her case of nerves disappeared, and Jayden knew she’d come home. “Well, I’m glad you’re warm because I tend to be a freeze baby.” She giggled. She peeked behind her and saw he’d made eggs, sausage, and hash browns. Her favorite breakfast. Thorn was an ever changing surprise. “Wow, my favorite. Yummy, I’m so hungry.”
“Come on then, let’s get you fed.” He kissed the tip of her nose, then grabbed the pan and walked her over to the table where he’d set out plates and silverware.
When she sat down at the table, her towel opened. Jayden immediately grabbed the ends of the towel and fixed it.
He reached out and touched her hand. “Shyness isn’t allowed in our house. Don’t cover your body from me. Hold on.” After he had put food on her plate, he left the kitchen only to return within seconds carrying a t-shirt. “Here, stand up, my love.”
Jayden stood and slipped the long t-shirt over her head. It hung halfway down passed her butt to her thigh. “Thank you.” The shirt had his smell on it, and she knew he’d already worn it.
“You’re welcome. Now eat.”
Jayden looked over at him, holding her fork, her eyes taking in every square inch of his body as he dished his own food on a plate. Muscles on top of muscles. His lean abdomen looked ripped and tough as steel. He towered over most men, too, with those long, powerful legs able to crush a man’s head if he so wished it. Then she already knew those warm muscled arms could make her feel safe when he wrapped them around her. She just couldn’t believe she had this god-like man as her mate.
He stopped spooning the eggs. “What?”
She giggled. “I’m sorry. I’m just pleasantly surprised at all you can do.”
He chuckled. “What do you mean? A man would have to starve if I’d waited for a woman to cook for me.”
“Oh, yeah. I suppose. No, it’s everything. This house, your pack, the club and all its men. Everything.” Jayden smiled, ecstatic she’d finally found him, and it was Thorn. Somehow, in her heart, she’d known all along he was a powerful man.
“I’m only one man and a Lycan. Jayden, don’t give me too much credit. I’m sure I’m going to make my fair share of mistakes with you.”
“Oh, well, we are all human and can make a mistake. We just need to forgive, let it go and move on, right?” She lowered her eyelashes, not wanting him to see her blush.
He reached over and touched her chin lifting it. “Don’t ever be embarrassed or shy about anything you like or don’t like about me. It takes time to get to know each other. I’m willing to learn as much as I can and as quick as you allow. I love you just the way you are, my love.”
Jayden understood exactly what he meant. She’d been around alpha type men all her life. Lucien was a lot like Thorn but in a different way. The vampire males were extremely dominant. She actually felt grateful for the kindness Thorn had in him and had shown her so far. “When would you like to go over to my parents? I need to show them I’m okay. I know my mother is worried sick.” Jayden frowned. Thinking about how long it had been since she had last spoken to her mother.
“I spoke to Lucien; he’s been keeping them updated on your wellbeing. We can go whenever you like, love. I’m all yours for as long as you like. There are a few things that need my attention, but I don’t need to do them all in one day.” Thorn started eating his breakfast.
Jayden followed his lead, taking a bite of her food. She chewed and hummed at the flavor. “If we could go into town and check on my restaurant and car.” She needed to get back to something normal.
“I called Lucien while you were in the shower. Your health inspection is done, and you passed. Apparently, after we left him, his men worked until everything was fixed. As far as your car, purse, and phone, they’re at your parents’ house. Lucien gave them to your mother.”
Jayden again felt grateful for Lucien being in her life. He helped her take care of the business. “Thorn, will you allow me to continue to work in Shades Run?”
He stopped eating, his fork hanging in limbo. He stared at her for a moment before he dropped the utensil, pulling her towards him and settling her on his lap. “Jayden, you are the same person I met a couple of weeks ago. If you want to work in your little coffee shop, then that is what you will do. I’m not your boss, nor a controlling person, but your mate. You should make all your own decisions. I won’t object.”
“Really?”
“I can’t tell you what to do. But I will assure you, there will be someone watching over you at all times. I won’t negotiate on that.” Thorn’s words were spoken with the authority of a leader.
“Well, I can’t have your men hanging out at my store. Nobody will want to even come there.”
“That’s not true. Everyone in Shades Run respects my men and me. They know we have always supported every business that opens in that town.”
“Oh.” She didn’t know what else to say to argue her point home. She would have to see what happened.
“Jayden, I can see your mind going a hundred miles an hour. Stop. We can talk about everything later. We don’t need to figure it all out right after you woke from a healing Lycan sleep. You need to use to your wolf and see what she can do. Everything she will want from you.”
Her face flushed, she felt the heat crawling through her skin. “I know, I’m sorry.” She lowered her eyes not able to look at Thorn. She felt frustrated and stupid.
He slammed his hand down on the table, it startled her.
“I’m sorry, Jayden, love. Honestly, I didn’t mean to hit the table so hard. I’m frustrated and angry that I can’t fix it all for you.”
She glanced up at him, why she’d gotten so frightened just now, she didn’t know. Something inside her was rising up, and she felt her upper lip curl and growled. Slowly, she crept upwards, her body and mind slowly taken from her. Jayden couldn’t think, only wanted to act. Someone was taking control over her. She let it happen.
“What are you thinking, Jayden?”
She heard Thorn’s voice from a distance. She stared at him, but through eyes that weren’t human—no, it must be her wolf. She let the female have her own way—sinking deep into the body of her wolf, Jayden felt her bones, muscles, and tissue shift to her wolf.
“Jayden, get control over your wolf,” Thorn whispered near her ear.
No longer wanting to think like a human, she let the animal take charge. She growled, stalking her prey—Thorn. Suddenly, she seemed to be knee level of his large human body standing over the top of her.
“Jayden? Come on, you need to control her. She’s taking over, this isn’t the way it should be.”
‘Why are you speaking to me that way?’ She joined minds with Thorn.
‘Are you still in there, Jayden? Don’t let the wolf take over. You need to control her. You can’t lose your human emotions.’ Thorn touched her head.
The muzzle of her wolf touched his other hand. She’d shifted and didn’t even realize what happened until it was already done. ‘I’m in here still. I want to fade away, maybe I can let her do this on her own?’
‘NO! You must stay with her as a human. You need to control what she does, or you will become something evil. This wolf needs you, Jayden, to train her. She is your strength, your wolf, she will help you when you need her. She’s newly born, you must work together. I will teach you. Shift back to a human, we will do this together.’
‘I don’t want to. I like this.’ Jayden knew her wolf tried to get some control back. She suddenly felt as if she’d lost her own way.
‘Please, Jayden, shift back.’
His begging took hold in her mind. He felt scared. She could tell by the shakiness of his voice as he talked to her through their own private mind path.
She closed her eyes and pictured what her human looked like. She was cold and shivering, lying on the floor totally naked. His t-shirt next to her shredded. She opened her eyes and picked up the torn garment. “Did I do this?”
“Yep, it doesn’t matter. I have many more of those. Hold on, I’ll go get one.” Thorn stood up from the floor. He’d gotten down on his knees to talk to her.
She grabbed his hand. “Don’t leave me.” Jayden’s fear and anxiety returned fully. Nervous about what had just happened, even more confused than before. “Please…”
“What is on your mind, Jayden? You’re frowning and biting that damn lip again.” Thorn touched her lip.
Wanting to forget what had happened until she could go somewhere by herself and just think about it. Her need for him seemed to intensify as he stared into her eyes. They burned from unshed tears. Jayden didn’t want to think, she knew what she needed, and it was Thorn inside her. She licked the maple syrup off his thumb before sucking on the tip. When his eyes flew open and he curled his lip, it seemed to flare up her lust.
His eyes shifted from dark brown to bright blue and back again. His Lycan seemed closer to her now than Thorn.
Jayden knew her wolf responded to his. She crawled toward him, more like on her hands and knees as she slowly crept losing herself in his eyes, deep among his soul. No words could describe what she felt deep inside her body. She wanted the man more now than she did before.
Thorn reached out, grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him.
Swinging her legs out, she encircled his waist. Jayden wanted him to take charge as her alpha. She wanted him to fuck her. “Thorn, I want you now! Hard and fast, don’t you dare be gentle. I want it all now!” she demanded.
He grabbed her ass, stood and carried her to the counter. Now the dominant male she knew he could be.
This was what she needed now from him. It wasn’t fear she thought about, no it was how much she needed this strong, magnificent man.
He covered her mouth with his own claiming her tongue. He laid her body on top of the hard surface. He was going to take her here and now in the kitchen. Jayden hadn’t realized until now what it meant to be a mate.
Thorn wanted her like no other. He would never need another woman for as long as she lived. Now she understood the power of a mate-claim. She’d laid her claim on his human and wolf. Jayden loved the feeling of letting her own mind go and just feel something other than fear or need.
This was different. No matter what Thorn could do to her, she would meet him halfway. This was something they both needed now.
Thorn couldn’t wait any longer. His need for this woman went beyond his control. When she’d shifted to her wolf, it had scared him, but Jayden seemed to be able to conquer and work with her wolf as easily as if she’d been born that way.
She’d left him for a short time. Her wolf had taken over, but with him helping through the shift, Jayden had pulled it together easily enough. He’d never been with someone right after a conversion and long healing sleep before. It surprised him more than concerned him how easily it had been for his mate. She was definitely a Beta female. The Lycan in her only enhanced the power she’d already welded. Her gypsy bloodline had shown through.
Thorn pulled her legs up over his shoulders so he could have easy access to her most desired place for him. He couldn’t get enough of her as he explored her with his mouth. Using his tongue, he licked, sucked, and kissed her. “You taste so good to me, love. Open those legs wider.” He touched her legs with his hands. Her hands clenched his as they gripped her knees forcing her to bare everything to him. He instantly felt her body relax, as she trusted him to give her what she most desired. He wanted to bring her to new heights further than before.
He continued his assault until Jayden screamed, “Thorn, I need you now.”
“Beg for me!” he groaned out.
She reached and gripped his hair. Then she pulled, pushed, and grabbed his head for him to give her more. She wiggled as she lifted her butt up off the counter to try to force him to do more. “Please… More, pleaasse?” she pleaded as she whimpered.
Thorn smiled as he heard what he’d needed in her voice. He teased and gave her just enough, but not until he heard the moans escape from Jayden as she came. Her cream tasted as sweet as any decadent candy he’d ever tried.
When he looked up at her, her eyes were dilated, a wild animal, her wolf was so near the surface inside her small, petite body. Jayden was tearing him up, her lust dominating her soul, and that of her wolf.
Thorn felt powerful that he could make her lose control as he’d just done. She tugged herself up and pulled on his hands. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs followed surrounding his hips. “Put me down on the floor!” she demanded with a growl. “I want to please you now.”
Thorn knew this was the Lycan as Jayden let herself completely go and just felt. She’d dominated him and submitted as well. Oh, how he loved it. This woman was truly his Beta female. He wouldn’t take anything she gave him for granted, and he grasped what she was freely giving him. Only a female as strong as Jayden could possibly be his mate, he was that kind of male, and he knew that for a fact. She’d proven herself over and again in the last few days.
When her feet touched the tiled floor, she pushed him back slightly. “Spread your legs!”
Thorn did as she commanded. When she knelt down in front of him, his throat constricted and his mouth went dry as she took the entire length of him in one mouthful.
She swallowed, then opened her mouth as she begged, “Teach me!”
The rush of power and lust beat down as a fire raced to the end of his dick. She had no idea how she’d almost brought him to his knees in a single second. He touched her hair, gathering the long tresses in his hands and pulled gently. The motion only made her suck harder, drawing him deeper into her mouth, as the head touched the back of her throat.
Looking up at him, her eyes were bright and glossy as she lost herself in the moment.
He joined minds with her, and she’d been caught in the same passion as he was. They shared as no others could ever do. She was a gift from the gods, and Thorn felt thankful for a true blessing such as her.
He didn’t want to come inside her mouth. Hot, wet, and sucking tightly on his length. “Easy, love, I can’t handle much more of that siren mouth of yours.” He inhaled slowly, trying to resist the urge to grab her head and force her to let go of his cock. Her tongue continued to lick and smooth down on his shaft. He wanted to let himself go, but he couldn’t do that to her. When she sucked him deep into her throat, he couldn’t do anything now. They were one with each other in their minds.
Jayden knew exactly what she was doing to him. He let her see it all.
She smiled up at him, her eyes bright with knowledge that she alone was torturing him with her passion and caring. Her skills improving seconds after she started giving him head.
“You’re naughty,” he growled.
She pulled her mouth away and purred, “Thorn, no growling allowed now, or I stop what I’m doing.”
He curled his lip. “Woman, you’re driving me mad. Take me into your mouth now, or I take charge. I’ll fuck you right here on the floor.” He knew she gloried in her power to control him.
With eyes that twinkled up at him, she licked the tip of his cock before taking him back inside her mouth.
Jayden drove him mad with pure, unaltered joy as the fire burned, and there was no way he could hold back. Moaning, “Jayden…” When he touched the back of her throat, he came.
She took all of him as his cum slid easily down the back of her throat. ‘You like?’ she teased as she continued to lick and suck the sensitive end of his cock.
Thorn let her enjoy. He loved the fact she felt so proud of herself for pleasing him. ‘Oh baby, you have no idea what you’ve given me.’
‘I think I already know.’ They stayed with each other in their minds.
When she nipped the sensitive tip of his cock, he growled. “Jayden.” Instead of pulling out of her mouth, his cock hardened once again.
Jayden didn’t shy away. Instead she took the entire length of him.
He groaned. “Woman, you’re driving me absolutely crazy.”
“Good,” she mumbled then swallowed, bringing him deeper into the back of her throat. For a woman who’d just learned to please her mate, she was very good at this.
Thorn couldn’t have stopped her if he tried. His hands held onto her head as she worked her magic on him again. There’d been no need to speak as she understood what he needed, wanted, while she took more of him each time.
She gazed up at him her eyes hooded with lust, but she seemed to look deep into his soul.
He stayed connected with her mind as she gave him joy. ‘Baby, it’s only you, Jayden, you are mine.’
‘You remember that, Thorn. Only me!’ she demanded and controlled him with her lovemaking.
There would never be another for him. He’d never before allowed a female to go so far in domination before this…This was his mate. A Lycan only had one.
Thorn knew his large cock had to be hard on her tender mouth. He didn’t want to cause her harm, so when she gripped the shaft with her other hand, he took the cue to stop her.
He wanted to give her some loving they both could share what they were doing in other ways. “Jayden, baby, come here.” He pulled himself out of her mouth and knelt down next to her. He pulled her into his arms. His mouth covered hers as they shared a kiss tenderly. He touched her wetness at her folds with his hand, he knew she was more than ready for him.
He grabbed her legs, surrounded his waist, and stood. He buried himself deep inside her as they landed up against the kitchen wall.
Her small body moved on its own burying him deeper inside the warm wetness she provided.
Pleasure so intense and powerful rushed through him, and he had to fight not to come too early. Overwhelming, Thorn couldn’t handle it, she drove him insane with her knowledge of how to please only him. How could such a small woman bring such a powerful Lycan almost to his knees?
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her.
He threw back his head and howled. He let the wolf rise to the surface and let the beast claim his mate. There was no way Thorn could control the wolf any longer, he wanted his female. “Jayden, I have to let him out,” he panted with torment in his voice.
She pulled back slightly. “And?”
“I don’t want to scare you.” He knew she was too fragile, and if the wolf caused her any pain, it would hurt his human mate. With gritted teeth, he warned her, “Jayden, help, the wolf is too dominant and wants to claim you as his own. I’m fighting, but I don’t know how much longer I can hold on.”
She nodded then smiled. “Let him go, I’m not afraid. I was born for him. My wolf wants him to claim her as well.”
How did he get so lucky to have such a strong woman? Thorn lowered her to the floor. He let his wolf rise up and he shifted, so did Jayden. Their wolves joined together.
Their humans were still inside the bodies of the wolves, but the animals had taken control of their counterparts. The male wolf bit down hard on the female’s shoulder, he held her as he mounted her.
After the male wolf had claimed his female, there was no more dominance. The two wolves were happy and content. They shifted back to their human bodies.
Thorn held Jayden close to his body. He picked her up and carried her to their bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed, their bodies spent and tired but happy.
“Jayden, I’ve fallen in love with you,” Thorn whispered, amazed at this fact himself. Hundreds of years and it had never happened.
“I feel as if our souls and hearts have joined together.” Her lips trembled.
“They have. The mate claim has joined us together forever. Jayden, you are mine.” He felt nervous she wouldn’t be happy.
Instead, she surprised him. “I love you so much. Thank you.”
