“Trust me, baby. When I sink my teeth into your soft skin, the last thing you’ll want is for me to go fast,” I purred while my lips curved up in a smirk. “From everything I’ve been told about fated mates, the only thing you need to brace for is an orgasm that will blow your fucking mind.”
“Then heck yeah”—she lifted her shoulder closer to me—“hurry up and get to it because I’d love to see how this orgasm will top the two you just gave me.”
My tiger surged close to the surface, his fur brushing against my skin. As both sides of my soul reached for hers, I sank my canines into her flesh. It felt as though an explosion went off inside me, but it was quickly followed by a sense of peace I’d never experienced before. My tiger and I were in sync. Happy. And it was all because of my gorgeous mate whose pussy milked another orgasm out of me as she flew over the edge again.

Calliope
Waking up in Tane’s arms was beyond anything I’d ever imagined. After spending most of yesterday in bed together—with a few breaks to eat, pick my stuff up from Allegra’s house, and shower—we’d finally passed out late into the night. No matter what we were doing, Tane kept me close. I quickly got used to how he always liked to touch me. He kept a hand on my nape when we talked to Zeke, his thigh flush against mine as we sat side by side whenever we ate in his kitchen, and spooned his body around mine while we slept. He didn’t shy away from public displays of affection, which he proved when he French kissed the heck out of me on his front porch, and several members of his pack jogged past, shouting out encouragement while they were still within earshot. And he loved to leave marks of his possession all over my body, as though the mating mark on my neck wasn’t enough to warn off other shifters.
My body ached in places I’d never felt before, but I had zero regrets. I wouldn’t give up a minute of the past twenty-four hours with Tane for anything.
“C’mere, baby.” Tane tugged me closer, nestling his face into my neck and licking over my mating mark. “How are you feeling?”
I tilted my head to give him better access. “I’m a little sore but in a good way. It’s like I can still feel you inside me.”
His hips surged forward, pressing his morning hard on against my butt. “Get used to the feeling. I’m going to spend a lot of time in your tight pussy.”
His breath was hot against my neck, and I let out a shuddering sigh. “If that’s your plan for the day, you have my stamp of approval.”
“Only after you take a nice, long bath to ease those aches so you won’t hurt when I take you again.” He brushed a kiss against my cheek and gave me a squeeze. “And at some point, I’d like to call my parents to give them the good news. Be warned, I’m sure my mom will want to video chat so she can meet her new daughter-in-law.”
“Then I definitely need a bath.” I wiggled out of his hold and scrambled off the mattress. I was completely naked, but I’d lost most of my shyness throughout the night. Waving my hand down the front of my body, I still blushed as I muttered, “She can’t see me like this. I’m covered in hickeys and come!”
His dark eyes filled with humor as a low chuckle rumbled up his chest. He crawled across the mattress, hooked an arm around my waist, and pulled me down next to him. “You’re fucking gorgeous and smell delicious.”
I laughed and pushed against his chest. “And you’re delusional.”
“Not even close.” After rolling on top of me, he flared his nostrils as he inhaled my scent. “My tiger would love nothing more than to roll around in your scent until it seeped in my bones.”
“Then maybe he should,” I suggested.
My sexy mate lifted his head and grinned. “You want to meet my tiger?”
He was offering to show me the six-hundred-pound tiger that lived inside his skin. I was normally a fairly timid person, but I already trusted Tane enough to know that I had nothing to fear from him. So my answer was a no-brainer. “Yes, please.”
“Do you want to take a moment to think about your answer?” I shook my head, and he chuckled. “Okay then.”
He claimed my mouth in a deep kiss before sliding off the mattress. My gaze dropped to his cock, but my head jerked up when I heard cracking and popping sounds. I blinked in shock, and when my eyes reopened, a giant tiger was standing in front of me. “Whoa! That’s so cool.”
