“Come all over my cock, sugar.”
Oh God! My body obeyed his order before I even knew it was happening. My internal muscles clenched and squeezed around his cock. Spasms of pleasure rippled through me, from my core outward.
I screamed. Or at least some long, satisfied syllables came pouring out of my mouth.
Cody shouted. “Yes, Riley–yes!” as he wildly bucked against me.
“Yes, Cody,” I chanted back. Somehow, he was cradled between my legs now, and then his body blanketed mine, his gasping breath hot on my neck, his kisses falling endlessly over my face and shoulders.
His heart pounded right against my breast, and I relished the sensation of it. Of feeling how much I’d moved him.
How I’d brought out his animal… and he’d brought out my own wild side.

CODY
“Fuck. I nearly marked you, sugar.” I was sprawled on top of her, careful to keep my weight on my forearms. I nipped at the place my teeth wanted to sink–the place where her neck met her shoulder. I licked and kissed her there. Realizing I still had on my clothes, I stood and stripped them all off. Stared at her in awe as I did so.
Fate, she was amazing.
All the problems between us that had seemed daunting before–our age difference, her father, the one week bargain I made with Rob, fell away. It was just the two of us now. Nothing else mattered but these connections. We were together. And it felt like we could take on the world.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
Huh? Oh right. I hadn’t told her about that yet.
I climbed back on the bed and rolled us to our sides, pushed up on one elbow. A lock of hair hung in her face, and I brushed it back. She was so damn beautiful. My wolf was content finally touching her skin to skin, bare.
“When a wolf finds his fated mate, he embeds her with his scent, so other shifters will understand that she’s been claimed.”
Riley ran her nails through the hair on my chest. Goosebumps ran across my skin. “Yeah? How?”
I kissed her shoulder. “A bite. A love bite.”
I braced for a fearful reaction, but she didn’t give me one.
Instead, her eyes lit up with interest. “I knew your teeth looked longer! That was because you wanted to mark me?”
I smiled and stroked my hand over her hip. “My wolf is dying to mark you. He cannot understand what’s taking me so long.”
“Go ahead,” she offered.
My heart lodged up in my throat. “What?”
“Mark me.”
“Listen, Riley. I’m not sure if I’ve made this completely clear. Wolves mate for life. Once I mark you, I will never let you go.”
She blinked. “Okay.” Her voice was soft and sweet.
I couldn’t help but stare at her. Wonder if I fucked her too hard, and she’d rattled something loose in her brain. “Okay? You’re ready for that? You’re all in with me?”
She nodded.
For some reason, my eyes burned. Her trust killed me.
“That’s… fuck, that’s incredible, sugar.” I stroked my fingertip along the side of her neck. “Usually wolves bite here, but since you’re human, and you’ll scar, I’ll pick another place.”
The scent of Riley’s fresh arousal bloomed, like the idea of me marking her turned her on.
Thank fuck. She was amazing. And I couldn’t wait to mark her. But I also wanted to make absolutely certain she was okay with this. Sex was one thing, but this? There really was no going back.
If I were a human and a gentleman, I would get her father’s blessing first, too. I didn’t ever want Riley to have to pick between the two of us. But since he was an asshole, and he didn’t know about shifters, he had zero say.
I traced my fingertip down her side to her ass. “I might bite you here. You have the most perfect, spankable, fuckable ass I’ve ever seen.”
“Do I?” There was laughter in her voice, but she also blushed.
So fucking sweet.
“You okay with me marking your ass? With me biting that peach?”
“Do it,” she egged me on.
I shook my head. “Not yet. This is a different first time, sugar. It’s like wedding vows for humans. I want things with your dad straightened out first, so he doesn’t shoot me.”
Her brows went down. “He won’t.”
After what happened today, I wasn’t so sure.
“The good news is that shifters can withstand being shot. Bullets holes heal in minutes.” I winked.
“Oh yeah?” she sat up, interested. “What else do I need to know about shifters? Oh my God, Tyler. Does he know about us?”
I nodded. “Yeah, I talked with him. He thought it weird at first, and probably will for a while, but he’s cool with it.”
“I can’t imagine how,” she said.
“He’s a shifter. He knows about fated mates. Knows what it means when I found mine in you.”
“Really.”
“So he’s not going to shoot me for taking you away?”
