“C’mon, pretty baby. Need to feel you fly apart around me before you milk the come from my cock.”
Slipping a hand under my butt, he lifted me. The new position had him hitting my G-spot with the next few thrusts, making me gasp. “Yes! Oh, yes!”
When he bent his head low to suck one of my nipples into his mouth, I flew apart. As amazing as the other orgasms he’d given me were, this release was bigger than anything I’d ever felt. My screams of pleasure echoed around the room as Rome anchored himself deep in my pussy, throwing his head back as he roared my name. I felt the hot splashes of his come against my inner walls as his cock jerked inside me.
When we were coming down from our orgasms, he slid his arm under my body to grip the back of my neck. Tilting my head to the side, he nipped at my shoulder. “I’m gonna mark you right here. Are you ready for it? Ready to complete the mating process so nobody will ever mistake you for anything but mine?”
I’d heard enough about the mating mark to know that it wouldn’t hurt, so I didn’t hesitate to answer, “Yes, please. I’ve been ready my whole life to be yours.”
A growl rumbled up his chest as intense joy flared in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and sank his teeth into my shoulder. It seemed as though the world held still for a moment, and then everything fell into place. I’d never realized a part of me was missing, but now that I’d been claimed by Rome, I felt whole for the first time in my life.

Waking up wrapped around Rome was the best way to start my day, and I had a whole lifetime of mornings like this ahead of me to look forward to. I wanted nothing more than to stay snuggled up against him for hours, but the rumbling of both of our stomachs reminded me why that wasn’t possible.
Rolling over to smile up at the sexy wolf shifter in my bed, I murmured, “Good morning.”
“The best morning.” He wrapped my hair around his fist and held me in place while he dipped his head to claim my mouth in a deep kiss. “I’m so damn glad that I finally found you.”
Realizing that I didn’t know how old he was, I gasped. “Um…how long is finally?”
He flashed me a sexy grin. “Are you worried that fate tied you to an old man when you’re only twenty-five?”
“I don’t care how old you are.” I shoved against his chest. “But it’s not fair that you know my age because we met at my birthday party.”
“I guess I should tell you.” He rubbed his nose against mine. “But only if you pay the toll.”
“The toll?” I echoed.
“Yeah, gimme a kiss,” he demanded.
“That’s a price I’m happy to pay.” I pressed my lips against his. “And one I’m looking forward to charging you whenever you want to know something about me.”
His dark eyes were full of appreciation. “I like how your mind works, baby.”
“What I’d like is an answer to my question.” It was hard to judge a shifter’s age. He could be five years older than me or fifty, for all I knew. Luckily, being mated to a shifter would slow down the aging process and lengthen my lifespan.
“I’m thirty-two.”
“Not so old, after all.” I grinned at him. “You’ve only got seven years on me.”
There was a naughty gleam in his brown orbs. “Young enough to keep up with you.”
“You sure did a good job of it last night.”
I shouldn’t have been able to take more after the five orgasms he’d given me and losing my virginity, but I’d still welcomed him with open arms both times he’d woken me up. And he’d made sure that I’d been well-rewarded for it.
I’d come to recognize the glint in his eyes when he snaked his arm around my waist and rolled onto his back with me sprawled on top of him. Pressing my palms against his chest, I pushed up and shook my head. “Nuh-uh. Don’t give me that look. We need sustenance before we go at it again. Didn’t you feel your stomach when it growled? I swear, mine is trying to eat itself.”
“Why didn’t you tell me you were hungry?” He lifted me off the bed and onto the floor before rolling off the mattress. “Do you stuff we can make in the fridge? If not, I can run over to Timber Treasures to grab my car so I can head over to the store and stock up on supplies.”
My heart melted at how worried he was about me needing to eat something. I wrapped my arms around him to give him a quick hug. “So darn sweet.”
