“Then it’s a good thing I want to be yours.” It’s the truth. The bond that connects us. Drives us together. It can’t be denied, and I don’t want to deny it. I want Heat. I need him. This brings us together that much more.
Water drips from Heat’s hair as he hovers over me. I wiggle beneath him, feeling his hardened state pressing at my entrance.
“Tell me you understand what this means, McKenna,” Heat demands through gritted teeth as he rubs the tip of his cock up against my clit. “You will be mine. There will be no changing of minds. Our fates will be sealed together.”
“I know exactly what it means, Rankin. I thought I made myself clear, considering I came to you nake . . .”
I don’t get to finish speaking when his mouth crashes down on mine once again,hungrier this time, more demanding. His free hand explores my body, leaving trails of fire wherever he touches. When his fingers find my breast, I arch into him, gasping against his mouth.
His touch sends electricity through my body, making my nipples harden against his palm. Heat’s mouth leaves mine,trailing hot kisses down my neck, and I tilt my head to give him better access. My body feels like it’s on fire, every nerve ending heightened and sensitive.
His rough touch on my sensitive skin sends ripples of pleasure through me. I’ve never felt anything like this before—this raw, overwhelming need. His weight on top of me feels right, like he was meant to be here, between my thighs, claiming me.
“I can feel how hot and wet you are already, Trouble,” Heat whispers against my neck, his breath hot against my skin. “You have no clue how hard it’s been over the last days, to not take you as I’ve wanted to. It’s taken all my effort not to fuck you.”
I shiver as his teeth graze my pulse point. “No more waiting. Fuck me, Rankin. Take what’s yours.”
He pulls back slightly, his eyes searching mine. Even in this moment of passion, I can see him checking, making sure this is what I want. It only makes me want him more.
“It’s going to hurt, McKenna. I don’t have it in me to be gentle with you. Not now,” he warns, positioning himself, teasing my entrance with the head of his cock.
“I don’t care.” I don’t. Whatever pain comes with this moment will be worth it to finally have this man inside me.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he growls, dipping his head back down, his teeth grazing over my shoulder.
I run my fingers through his wet hair, tugging slightly when he sucks a mark right where I know will be visible to anyone who looks. The pain blends with pleasure in a way I never expected, making me whimper.
“Heat,” I gasp as he thrusts deep, breaking through the barrier, filling me full of him in one swift move.
Heat stills and lifts his head. “What the fuck?”
“Um, I probably should have told you.” I stare up into his heated, hungry eyes.
“You should have.” He growls. “Trouble, you damn well should have told me that you’ve never had a man inside you before.”
“I didn’t think to tell you.”
I shift beneath him, adjusting to the size of him inside me. I thought it would hurt. That it would be painful, but in truth, having him fill me as he is, it’s exhilarating. “Will you please fuck me now?”
“You’re gonna pay for not telling me, baby.” The coarse tone, gravelly and deeper than I’ve heard before.
Heat moves, pulls back until he’s almost completely withdrawn before thrusting back in, filling me so completely that I cry out. The initial feeling of pleasurable pain is already fading, replaced by waves of pleasure I’ve never experienced before.
“Fuck, baby, you’re so tight. Feels so damn good, the way your pussy is squeezing my cock,” he groans, his rhythm steady but unforgiving. “Should’ve known you were untouched. Should’ve taken my time with you. Should’ve gone with my instincts and told you to wait.”
I wrap my legs tighter around his waist, drawing him deeper. “We have time for slow later.” I gasp as he hits a spot inside me that makes stars explode behind my eyelids. “Right now, I need this.”
Heat’s mouth finds mine again,swallowing my moans as he pounds into me relentlessly, his thrusts nearly punishingly hard. His hands seem to be everywhere—gripping my hips, tangling in my hair, squeezing my breasts. I’m overwhelmed by sensations, my body responding to his every touch like it was made for him.
In a way, I was. The fates saw to it. The first time he kissed me, we both knew the truth. Only for days we’ve ignored it.
At least it wasn’t weeks, months, or years.
“That’s it, baby,” Heat growls against my neck. “Take all of me. Take my cock like a good girl.”
I dig my nails into his shoulders, leaving crescent marks on his skin. The feeling of him moving inside me is overwhelming, my body stretching to accommodate him. I’m drowning in sensation, every nerve ending alive and singing.
“Heat,” I whimper, feeling myself tightening around him. “Something’s happening?—”
