He ran his fingers through her hair. “I love your hair.”
She chuckled. “Really? I don’t like the color.”
“I love the color. It’s rich. Reminds me of a really good coffee.”
“Coffee?”
“Don’t knock a good coffee.” He pulled her down, kissing her.
She glided her fingers through his hair. “Yours is so soft. Black.”
“Are you thinking it’s like my soul?” he asked.
She smiled. “When did you get so funny?”
“I didn’t know I was.”
Stroking down her back, he didn’t want to move. Even as his cock began to go flaccid there was nowhere else he wanted to be.
“What are you thinking about right now?” she asked.
“You. This. Us.”
“Oh.”
“Mabel, you’ve always been on my mind. It never stops.”
She looked at his chest where her hand now lay on him. “I thought about you as well. I always tried to tell myself it was because I was angry.”
“Were you?”
“Sometimes. Not all the time.”
“Did you ever want to be with me?”
She licked her lips and nodded. “And each time I did, I thought I was betraying myself.” She breathed out. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. You and I, we don’t have the best start, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have one hell of an ending.”
“I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to be your mate,” she said.
“You’re perfect.”
“Come on, Lucas, you don’t have to say that.” She went to get off him, but he held her still.
“I promise you from this day forward, I won’t say shit unless I mean it. We can make this work. Believe me, I don’t think I’m ready to take over from my dad, but I don’t have a choice. He’s counting on me and so are so many others. We can do this. You and me. Together.”
She didn’t say anything, but he hoped she was at least considering it.
Chapter Nine
Mabel released a scream and took off into the forest. She felt him closing in. Tomorrow was another full moon, and for the past month, they’d been enjoying each other in ways she didn’t think were possible.
Glancing back, she didn’t see him, and she kept on running. They were having a little fun before tomorrow night when they’d run together, nothing holding them back.
She rounded a tree and looked behind her.
A branch snapped and she cried out, taking off. She breathed in deeply and a fluttering began in her stomach. She went to round another tree, but she was tackled to the ground. Her arms pressed above her head.
She went to scream again, but Lucas took possession of her lips.
Any fight left her as his cock pressed between her thighs. His lips were tempting, so sexy.
She arched up, wanting to be as open as she could be for him.
He slid his tongue across her neck.
Bite me, Lucas. Take me.
The urge had been growing stronger, but she’d held back from demanding it. Even she felt the pull of making the claiming official. So far, she’d held back.
She tensed up, waiting, expecting, craving it.
He moved down, going to her breasts.
Disappointed and excited at the same time, she yelped his name as he flipped her over with ease so her knees were digging into the ground. He wrapped her hair around his fist and tugged harshly, making her cry out.
“Do you have any idea what you do to me when you run?” he asked.
“I love it when you catch me.”
She didn’t know when she realized how much she enjoyed it. It had started in the house when she’d spilled cold water on him and he’d chased her out into the pool. She’d fallen into the water, and he’d gone in after her. They’d ended up making love in the pool, then in the kitchen, before taking it to the shower.
Mabel couldn’t get enough of him, and what was more, she didn’t care. The guilt she’d once experienced was gone.
There was no reason for her to feel anything but pleasure and enjoyment.
The way Lucas touched her hip right now, holding her in place, made her so wet, so ready for him. He gripped his cock and ran the tip between her slit, bumping her clit. The sudden jolt of pleasure rushed through her body.
“Are you ready for me?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“Good.”
He fucked her hard and fast, slamming to the hilt inside her. Lucas wasn’t gentle, using the grip he had on her hair to ride her deeper than ever before. He moved so she sat against him. His cock was still deep inside her, and his hand slid between her thighs. His fingers touched her clit as he began to work her to an orgasm. Lucas would never come until she found her pleasure.
She gasped, trying to ride his cock, but he still had the grip in her hair, stopping her from moving.
“I want you to come all over my cock, Mabel. Come, and then I’ll give you what you want. What you need.” He whispered the words between nibbles on her neck.
