If this is a dream, I never want to wake up from it, Shelby thought as Wolfe carried her into the bedroom.

Once inside, she unhooked her legs from behind his back as he released her, letting her body slide slowly down his before her feet hit the floor.

Wolfe made an appreciative sound at the back of his throat as his greedy hands roamed over her body, finding her ass cheeks once more. He kneaded them experimentally for a second, eliciting yet another moan from her as he kissed her deeply, his desire very evident as his hips aligned with hers.

“God, I want you so bad it hurts,” he murmured against her lips.

Shelby felt much the same way. Curious, her hand slipped beneath the waistband of his pants as she stroked him for the first time, making him close his eyes as he groaned.

“Is that so?” she purred, throwing his earlier words back at him as she continued to explore his impressive length.

Shelby gave a throaty laugh as he answered her with another groan of gratification, flexing himself into her hand as it circled him. He was so big, her fingers couldn’t even wrap all the way around, making her thighs clench in anticipation.

Wolfe submitted to her ministrations for a few moments longer, eventually forcing her to let go when he gently pushed her back onto the bed behind her.

“We should get rid of some of these clothes, don’t you think?” he said, stepping forward to where she was sitting to stand between her knees.

Shelby just nodded her consent as he grasped the hem of her shirt, pulling it over her head to expose her naked breasts. Her nipples—which were already hard with her arousal—tightened further under his appraising gaze.

“So fucking beautiful,” he breathed, his eyes practically reverent now, as he looked her over.

He moved to lean down and kiss her again, his brow furrowing in confusion when Shelby just shook her head at him.

“Oh no you don’t,” she reprimanded, jerking her chin at his shirt-clad torso. “I want that off. Now.”

Wolfe rolled his eyes and smirked at her bossiness, but quickly complied, casting off his shirt to reveal the muscled expanse of his chest and abdomen.

Shelby’s eyes raked over him hungrily. She had fantasized about this moment since that first night when she’d rescued him from the snow.

Now that it was actually happening, she couldn’t decide where to start. She wanted to touch every inch of him, trace the lines of his abdominal muscles, circle his navel, and then down farther still as she followed his happy trail; first with her finger, then with her tongue.

Shelby scooted back farther on the bed as Wolfe pursued after her, lifting her hips as he peeled off her leggings so that she was now wearing only her panties.

Wolfe’s dark eyes practically devoured her as he crawled over her body to capture her mouth in another searing kiss. Shelby returned the kiss just as passionately, panting for breath when he eventually broke away to focus his affections on her neck. He would nip or lightly suck at her skin before soothing it over with his tongue, the sensation turning the heat that was pooling at her core absolutely molten with her need.

Her hands ran up his arms and over his broad shoulders, marveling at the cords of rock-hard muscle beneath his smooth skin. He made that enticing sound in the back of his throat again when her nails scraped lightly down his back, making Shelby wonder what else she could do to hear him make it.

Wolfe soon moved on to her breasts; first tweaking each of her nipples playfully with his strong, callused fingers, before worshipping them thoroughly with his tongue and teeth.

“You have amazing breasts, Shelby,” he murmured, his breath hot against her sensitive skin as he spoke. “They deserve to be cherished properly.”

“Oh, god,” Shelby groaned in response when he carefully rolled one nipple between his teeth, scouring the other one gently with his thumbnail at the same time.

Wolfe chuckled darkly, her eyes watching him as he finally released her and sat back to look at her fully.

The reprieve was short lived, however.

Wolfe gave her a wicked smile from where he knelt between her legs, making her whimper with need when she felt his knuckles brush against the damp lace of her panties.

“You’re so ready for me, aren’t you?” he crooned, fingering the flimsy material some more before meeting her eyes again.

“I hope you aren’t overly attached to these,” he said, by way of warning.

Before she even fully realized his intent, he pushed his fingers through the lace and ripped them off of her.

Shelby gasped in a mixture of shock and excitement, feeling like she might combust right then and there as he tossed the shredded remains of her panties from the bed.

He was just so…intense; no man she’d ever been with had ever done something like that before. He was carnal and provocative and…well—just so damn hot!

Wolfe lowered his head, placing a tender kiss just above the apex of her thighs, his eyes flicking up to make sure she was still watching him as his fingers deftly spread her open to him.

Shelby’s head fell back down on the pillow as he gently blew on her sex before his tongue came down to twirl against her clit.

Shelby moaned incoherently as her hands came up to twist her fingers through his dark hair, her back bowing from the bed as he lapped at her clit and leisurely probed her with his long fingers.

“Wolfe,” she pleaded when she felt herself building up toward her climax. “Oh, Wolfe, please!”

Wolfe happily obliged, his lips closing around her clit as he sucked on it, hard. His finger rubbed against the front wall of her vagina, putting pressure on her G-spot.

Though she’d known it was coming, her release surprised her in its intensity. She felt like she was paralyzed, her body unable to move as wave after wave of pleasure rippled through her, her hands falling away from Wolfe’s head as she gripped the sheets on either side of her for dear life.

By the time she finally drifted back to Earth after that otherworldly orgasm, Wolfe had shucked his pajama bottoms and was sliding up the bed to lie beside her. She turned her face to his as he kissed her, marveling at the exotic taste of herself on his tongue.

Shelby could feel the proud length of his stiff cock pressed against her thigh, insistent. She reached for it as they kissed, steadily pumping him with her hand, until Wolfe broke away a few moments later, a question in his dark eyes.

Shelby just nodded in answer, beyond ready to take this next step with him. But when Wolfe moved to cover her body with his, Shelby resisted, her hand pushing against his shoulder so that his back was forced down on the bed as she rolled on top of him.

“I think I’ll take charge now,” she whispered in his ear, her teeth grazing his earlobe. She placed a tender kiss against his throat before sitting up to straddle him.

Wolfe’s eyes were alight with silent amusement at her little dominance display, but he didn’t protest as she ground slowly against him. Her hands flattened against his chest as she slid her slick pussy along the length of his shaft, the head hitting her already throbbing clit and making her breath hitch at the sensation.

Wolfe’s eyes closed with a groan as she repeated the process once, and then twice, before lifting up so that she could position him at her opening.

Wolfe’s eyes snapped back open as he watched her, his hands coming up to bracket her hips as she gradually took his length inside her. She gasped as he filled her completely, his size almost too great for her to take all at once.

“God, you’re so fucking tight,” Wolfe ground out, his jaw clenched with restraint as he gave her time to adjust to his girth.

Shelby didn’t keep him waiting long.

She tested their connection, rocking forward gently before sliding back, her head falling back as she moaned her satisfaction.

Shelby built up her pace steadily, but quickly, as she began to ride him, their heavy breathing and sounds of pleasure filling her ears like a heady sort of symphony.

Wolfe’s hands slid up her sides to grasp her breasts, his palms grinding against her nipples and sending a direct pulse of need to her core. Already, Shelby could feel that telltale fluttering that meant another orgasm was imminent.

Wolfe seemed to sense it too, because his hands fell from her chest and back to her hips, one of his thumbs pressing down against her clit and making her cry out.

“Come on, Shelby. I can feel how close you are, baby,” Wolfe growled, bucking his hips up to meet hers now as they both neared release. “Please; I need you to come for me.”

And she did.

Shelby’s back arched as she detonated around him, her pussy clenching him tightly as she screamed his name.

Shelby fell forward to cling against Wolfe’s chest, his arms banding around her as he continued to pound into her from below, prolonging her orgasm further still.

“Oh, Shelby,” Wolfe bit out as she felt him stiffen beneath her, reaching his own climax as he pumped his seed deep inside her.

They laid together like that for several moments in post-coital bliss, waiting for their ragged breaths and pounding hearts to subside back to normal.

After a while, Shelby rolled off of him, feeling strangely bereft when he was no longer inside of her; as if that was where he belonged, always.

Wolfe seemed to feel the same way, because he wrapped his arm around her once more and pulled her tight to his side, eliminating all remaining space between them. Shelby went willingly into the embrace, resting her head against his shoulder as she curled against him.

Shelby closed her eyes, smiling when she felt Wolfe press his lips against her forehead, his fingers stroking her hair idly.

For the first time since arriving at the cabin, Shelby drifted off into a deep, peaceful sleep.
