Part 49 (2/2)

”Move a little. Back and forth. Up and down. See what feels good to you,” he managed.

She began to move and he pressed his mouth to her neck. He was so hot he had to fight to keep from thrusting upward. But he stayed where he was, letting her explore the sensations she was creating.

Slipping one hand between them, he pressed it over her c.l.i.t and felt her instant response. She began to move faster, her motions jerky. In seconds, he felt her inner muscles contract around him. She gripped his shoulders as she called his name, clinging to him as o.r.g.a.s.m took her. As his own climax rocketed through him, he clasped her to him, then felt her body sag against his.

He held her for a long moment, kissing her face and her mouth as he stroked her back and shoulders.

When she raised her head, he saw that her eyes were damp.

”Are you all right?” he whispered.

She looked at him, wonder s.h.i.+ning in her eyes. ”I did it!”

”Oh, yeah.”

She looked into his eyes. ”And it was so good.”

”Yes.”

”Thank you. Not just for the pleasure. For the healing.”

”I'm glad.”

She laid her head on his shoulder, and he stroked the sweat-slick skin of her back as he nibbled at her neck. ”We should lie down.”

She raised her head and gave a shaky laugh, ”Probably I'm crus.h.i.+ng you.”

”No. But I think we'd both be more comfortable horizontal, if you're willing to climb into bed with me now.”

”I think the hard part's over.”

He laughed. ”Not for long.”

When she flushed, he helped her up, breaking the intimate contact between them.

He reached for her hand. Together they crossed to the bed and climbed under the covers.

He'd thought he understood what the bond between a werewolf and his mate meant. But now a little zing of fear sizzled through him. He knew how it worked with his brothers and his cousins. Too bad none of them had found a woman who was also a shape-s.h.i.+fter.

Would that make a difference for him and Rinna? And what about their children? What would happen when they got shape-s.h.i.+fter genes from both their mother and father.

He didn't know. But he pushed the worry to the back of his mind and turned Rinna to him, clasping her close.

FALCONE managed to stay calm by thinking about his plans for the future. When he found Rinna, he would force her to bear him a son. A child with the combination of their powerful genes.

He would raise the child with great care and great wisdom, so that the boy would be completely loyal to his father. And together they would have the power to rule Sun Acres, with Falcone always as the guiding force. Some people already called him the Iron Man of Sun Acres. He would make it true. He would push rivals like Griffin aside.
