Chapter Seventeen
Corey
Corey could barely stand all these sensations. Him filling her, nailing her, her head was almost against the headboard and she was pretty sure they had started in the middle of the bed. God, he was so rough and it felt so good. When he lightly bit down on her neck? That felt fucking amazing. She was so close. When he bit her the second time, it was much harder, and she flew over the edge. She didn’t think she had ever screamed so loud in her life. She bet the cranky math teacher next door even heard her.
“Look at me.”
Dominic’s voice sounded demanding and gruff. She did as she was told, locking eyes with him. He pulled all the way out, and then surged back in as far as he could go, instantly spilling into her. She could feel his cock pulsing out his release. Whether it was looking into his eyes, that one last hard thrust, or the feel of his orgasm, she didn’t know, but she came again. This time looking right at him.
The air shimmered around her, like it had when Dom had shifted. Her skin felt like it was burning, the sensation bordering on painful. Her heart fluttered, skipped a beat, and then righted itself. Through all of that, her orgasm kept going. After another thirty seconds or so, everything in her body started to calm.
After they both floated back to earth, and their breathing returned to normal, Dominic collapsed on top of her. Rolling them slightly so he didn’t crush her. They stayed that way, still together and quiet for a few minutes.
He reached up and brushed the hair from her face. “Now you belong to me and I belong to you. It’s done.”
She opened her eyes and was rewarded with his smile. “We’re mated.”
“Yes, baby, we are.”
“Was the biting part of it?”
“I don’t know, maybe.” He shrugged one muscular shoulder. “I’ve never had the urge to do that before. I mean, when you get the birds and bees talk in my family, you get the claiming talk too. But my uncles never went into step-by-step detail.”
“Was the eye contact part of it?”
“Yes, that was part of it.”
“It was, uh, it was so different from…well, it was different.” Corey doubted that the phrase it was so different from all the other times I’ve had sex needed to be said in that moment.
“I understand what you’re saying, sweetheart, it was different for me too.”
They were silent for another few minutes. Dominic was stroking her face and arms and side. Anything he could reach, he touched and caressed. It was almost like he was petting her. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it. All too soon he stopped and pulled out of her. “Where are you going?” Oh wow, she sounded needy. She laughed to herself. What was he going to do, leave? Holy crap, maybe he was going to leave. What if all this mating and claiming and shifter stuff had been a lie? A way to get her in bed. Maybe he was a crazy con artist who liked trying to knock up unsuspecting girls.
He chuckled. “I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart. I thought we could get under the covers and get more comfortable.” When he looked over, he must have seen the panic she felt written on her face, and his laughter died. “Hey, Corey, look at me. I will never leave you. Everything I said, I meant with my whole heart. You are mine, forever. I’m not going anywhere.”
He looked down to where their bodies had been connected. She followed his gaze, seeing some of his cum running down her leg. She wrinkled her nose, seconds away from getting up to take a shower, when he ran two fingers up her leg, capturing it. “What are you—?”
He pushed it all back inside her body.
“What the actual hell, Dom?” She slapped his hand out of the way. “If it comes out on its own, I think it’s safe to leave it out. Or do you want to call one of your uncles and ask?” What a possessive, ridiculous thing to do. Problem was, she was more pissed at herself than Dom because it had kind of turned her on.
He smirked, never taking his eyes off hers while he repeated the act, trailing his fingers up her thigh and slipping inside her. “You like it.” Only this time he didn’t come back out. He curled and uncurled his fingers, making her bite her bottom lip to keep from groaning.
“No, I don’t.”
He shook his head playfully. “Your heart rate increased, and your breathing changed. I can see your pulse racing in your neck. You’re mine, Corey. You’ll never be able to hide that part of yourself from me.” He tilted his head to the side. “You like it.”
Corey couldn’t stifle the groan of pleasure that came out of her mouth when he curled his fingers a second time. Damn. If she was going to let him know his crazy sperm act turned her on, she was going to do it on her own terms. She grabbed his arm and pulled his fingers out of her. Then she pushed his shoulders back against the bed and climbed on top of him. She took his still-hard cock in her hands and positioned it so that she could slide down on him. She took it in all at once, and started riding him. She didn’t need to catch her breath or relax her muscles.
There, take that, smug jerk.
“Told you.” He ran one hand up her thigh, her stomach, her chest, to her neck. He put his large hand at the base of her throat and applied a tiny bit of pressure. He waited, like he was trying to judge her reaction, like with the bite.
The feel of his hand around her throat was so fucking hot. She leaned into him a little more to let him know it was okay. It was the ultimate show of trust. She trusted him to not hurt her. She began to ride him harder, grinding against him. His other hand moved from behind his head and gripped her thigh. “Oh god, Dominic, I’m so close.”
“I know, baby, you feel so fucking good. Come for me, Corey, come for me so I can pull out this time. I’m about to explode.”
“Don’t you fucking dare pull out before I’m done.” She rode him faster, leaning into his hand, increasing the pressure on her neck.
“Oh god, baby, hurry.”
All at once they both started screaming. Corey went over the edge and took him with her.
