“I’m not that fragile,” I told him, cupping his jaw. “I won’t break.”
He hovered over me, still not moving, breathing hard like he’d just finished a race.
“Please,” I added.
“Fuck, Red,” he cursed. “You have no idea what you’re in for.”

RAND
My mate was magnificent.
Too magnificent.
Sprawled out bare beneath me, her dark red hair a wild curtain around her head, her green eyes dark with lust, she had my control hanging by a goddamn thread.
I was ready to mark her right here, right now. My teeth were long in my mouth, dripping with the serum that would forever embed my scent into her skin. It was everything I could do not to lose control. She didn’t know anything about shifters.
She deserved the truth, the choice to become mine. There was no question she would be mine, but it couldn’t be now. We had the rest of our lives together, and from what I’d learned from the guys who’d all found human mates, I wasn’t going to fuck this up like they had. At first. Sure, they’d gotten their shit together, but I wasn’t going to blow it because her pussy was just too fucking perfect.
No. I was stronger than that. Fuck, I was going to try because if anyone was going to make me weak, it was Natalie. She wasn’t giving me much of a chance to get my shit together, either. She kept squirming and rocking beneath me, trying to take me deeper, to get me to move inside her.
Fuck. I was dying of pleasure here. I could come, but I couldn’t bite.
I held still as I shut my eyes, breathed. As soon as I got my teeth to retract, I let my hips go. She wanted hard, I’d fuck her hard. I’d give her anything she wanted, especially if that included me being balls deep inside her. Three deep slams, and her head nearly hit the headboard. Fuck. I pulled out and dragged her lower, then pinned her in place with a hand at her shoulder. I tried to take another breath and slow down, but she reached for my cock and guided me back into her.
I couldn’t help it. “Red,” I growled. I jackhammered into her.
She flung her knees wide, making herself soft and pliant for my assault. It was like our bodies were fucking made for one another.
Hell, they were, weren’t they? She was my fated mate. Of course, sex with her would be beyond perfect. That she would want it as wild and sweaty and heart pounding as I did.
“Natalie,” I rasped, already at the edge of my rope. Hell, I’d been needy and fucking frantic since the moment I caught her scent on the breeze on Monday night. Now? I was downright desperate. “Fuck, Natalie.”
I had the presence of mind to rub her clit with my thumb, and she cried out, squeezing my cock so tight I nearly came right there. She yanked me down with claws in my skin, like she was as greedy for me as I was for her. As if she were the shifter, and her inner wolf was coming out.
Impossible, but she was definitely a wildcat.
I wanted to kiss the hell out of her, but I kept my jaw locked and lips closed to keep my fangs from making any unwanted appearances. Instead, I buried my face in her neck, breathing in her delectable scent as I pounded into her. The bed shook, slamming against the log wall.
Natalie’s cries filled the small cabin, the current of every sound running like tremors through my body, speaking to my cells, awakening parts of me I never knew existed.
I became someone new.
Natalie’s mate.
Her pleasure was my sole focus. I would die if I didn’t come with her. At least I’d given her pleasure twice already. Now, we’d both get off, but she’d come first. This time and always.
“Rand,” she panted, her silken voice penetrating every sense. “Rand…”
“What is it, beautiful? You need to come?” I didn’t know how I even managed to speak, my brain was so addled with lust. The scent of fucking filled my nostrils. Sweaty, slippery fucking.
“Oh God,” she moaned. “Please.”
“Fuck, yeah.” The tether on my control snapped when she begged. I shoved into her deeper, harder. I couldn’t help but be rough. Time stood still, or maybe it rushed forward. I wasn’t sure—the room definitely spun.
Natalie clenched around me, coming in perfect timing because my balls couldn’t wait a second longer.
Thank fuck.
I came with a roar that echoed off the walls, slamming home and staying there while I filled the condom with a lifetime’s worth of lust.
She panted against the side of my head. I could feel her heart racing where our chests pressed together, slick with sweat.
Gradually, the room stopped spinning. My consciousness returned and sweet, sweet gratitude filled my chest.
