CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
Caine gripped Tia’s waist as she started moving against him. Her palms were against his bare chest, and he could feel the tips of her claws digging into his skin.
Claws.
Her wolf was rising.
Caine stared at his beautiful little she-wolf and growled. He yanked her t-shirt up over her head and tossed it away. He wanted to see his mate’s perfect, naked body, and feel all her soft, feminine curves.
Tia was staring down at him, and he could see her gray eyes turning silver as her wolf surfaced. Her claws dug deeper into his flesh as she moved faster against him.
Her wolf could scent her mate, and the mating heat was overwhelming her senses. Tia growled as she writhed and moaned, wanting and needing more from him.
Caine pushed himself up and took one pert breast into his mouth. Tia cried out as he suckled her furiously. He licked and sucked hard at her pebbled nipple, flicking the hard nub relentlessly with his tongue.
The scent of her arousal filled the air in the bedroom, and Caine growled with lust and hunger. Tia ran her hands down her hot body as she rode him, and Caine watched the pleasure ripple across her features as she brought herself to orgasm.
Tia was a confident woman who knew what she wanted. She wasn’t afraid to show him how much she enjoyed sex, and she wasn’t shy about taking and giving pleasure.
Caine grabbed her and flipped her on her back. Tia smirked and wrapped her arms and legs around him. Caine thrust deep into her and Tia raked her small, sharp claws down his back and gasped. “Yes, Caine, yes...”
Caine pushed his hands under her knees and spread her wider for him. He pounded into her, fucking her hard and deep. Tia fingered her aching nipples, pinching the puckered peaks between her fingers as he fucked her.
“More, Caine,” she growled.
He bent down and took one hard nipple between his teeth. When he bit her, Tia cried out and her pussy clenched around him.
Caine laved his tongue down her breast, nipping and licking his way down her body.
He groaned into her mouth as he rocked into her. She was so tight, so hot and wet. He wanted to make her come hard for him, and hear her screams of pleasure.
Caine grabbed Tia’s wrists as he pounded into her. Her body undulated beneath his, and incoherent pleas tumbled from her lips.
With a final thrust, he clamped his teeth at the base of her neck and bit her. Tia screamed as she climaxed, her body shuddering in his arms. She came repeatedly as he kept moving inside her. With a cry, she sank her teeth into his shoulder and marked him hard.
Caine’s body jerked as he shot his seed deep into his mate’s body. He could feel Tia’s sharp little fangs piercing his flesh, and he roared at the intense pain and pleasure.
Tia let out a small sob as her shudders subsided. Caine held her to him and kissed her lovingly.
“You are so amazing,” he whispered.
When she finally caught her breath, she looked up at him and said, “I...I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel different.”
“Do you feel any pain?” he asked anxiously.
Tia shook her head. “No. I feel...good. Really, really good. In fact, I’ve never felt better. I feel stronger, and...my sexual appetite seems to have grown. I seem to want sex all the time!”
“All the time?” Caine teased.
She laughed and blushed. “Yeah. I’m hungry for you again.”
Caine kissed her and said, “I am your mate, Tia. And you are mine. Your wolf has risen and she recognized her mate.”
Tia blinked at him. “My what?”
“Your wolf.” He took a deep breath. “I gave you my wolf venom. I had to turn you, to save you.”
“Ah...” She stared at him for a moment. “So...I have a wolf in me now? I...I am like you?”
“Yes.”
A smile slowly spread across her face. “I’m a wolf shifter now!” She let out a whoop. “Wait till I tell Nathan, Kerry and Corinne!”
Caine tensed. “I, um, I haven’t told Nathan. I was so worried about you.” He winced. “I should have told him...”
Tia shook her head rapidly. “No, no, no. It’s a good thing you didn’t tell Nathan. He would have told Kerry and my sister would have freaked out! If she knew I was attacked by vampires...” Tia bit her lip. “No, I’m glad she didn’t see me in that bloody state.”
She rested her head on Caine’s chest and listened to their strong, steady heartbeats. “You turned me,” she said, lifting her head suddenly to frown at him. “Does that mean you are my Alpha?”
Caine chuckled. “I am your mate. If we weren’t mated, then yes, I will be your Alpha. But the mate bond overrides everything else. It’s the most important and most powerful bond.”
“Good,” Tia said with a smirk. “I won’t obey all your commands, you know. So if you’re my Alpha, it’s just not going to work.”
“I know.” Caine laughed.
Tia scrambled up and looked for her clothes. “Come on. I want to see Sarah, and Amanda. I want to make sure that they are both okay.”
Caine got dressed quickly. “You are not their bodyguard any more,” he told her. “Your contract has officially ended.”
“Yeah, I know.” Tia grinned at him as she pulled his large t-shirt over her head. Caine couldn’t resist grabbing her and giving her a long, passionate kiss. She was just so sweet, strong and sexy, and he loved seeing her in his clothes.
Tia touched his face and said softly, “I love you. All of you.” She smiled and said, “Sarah and Amanda are no longer my clients. They are my family.”
