“Just us and the others with new mates. There’s no need for anyone else to be there.”
“So we’ll all be witnesses to everyone else’s claiming?” My pulse pounds, anxiousness climbing. I knew this would happen. I knew this was coming. I should have said something before now. A heat lingers on my skin, daring me to turn around.
Vince lets out a low laugh. “No, there’s no need for witnesses. My bite will mark you and scent you as mine. You won’t really be able to see anyone else anyway. This is the best spot for the moon, though. It’s better for our wolves.”
“I see.” My mouth dries as we near an area with much more light than the surrounding forest. My heart races in my chest. One mate for all eternity. This is the beginning to a bittersweet end. I shake out my clammy hands and will away my tears. I’ll outlive him by hundreds of years; I’ll watch him grow old and die. And there’s nothing I can do about it. The realization weighs heavy on my heart. But, as always, I shove my emotions into the depths of my cold heart and move forward. I’ve accepted my fate. It would be far too cruel to stop.
Even if destiny is warning me to do just that.
As we step into the clearing, the light from the moon provides a slightly better view, but it’s still too dark to see more than a few feet in front of me. It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust, but I can hear what’s going on with absolute certainty. Dom, Caleb and Lizzie are to the left, and Devin and Grace are to the right. No one seems to notice anything except their mates. Both women are obviously in heat, mewing and rubbing against their mates.
“What all does the claiming involve?” I quietly ask Vince as he unbuttons my blouse with deft fingers.
“We bond in the most intimate way possible and at our peaks, I scar you with my mark.” His little fangs gleam in the moonlight as he leans down to nip my collarbone. It sends a shiver of want through my body. As my blouse falls to the cold, hard ground a chill hardens my nipples. His eyes focus on my breasts and he leans down to suck a nipple into his hot mouth. I moan and lean back, pushing my breast forward as the heat of arousal flows through me. A tingle of need flows through my blood. I’m obviously affected by the full moon, though not to the extent that the wolves and humans are.
As I open my eyes, they widen even further. I watch Grace on her hands and knees, pushing against Devin as he thrusts behind her, slamming his hips against hers. She meets every blow, moaning her pleasure into the ground. She arches her back as her body jolts over and over again. She whimpers as her body trembles, “I love you, Devin.”
He presses his chest to her back and kisses frantically along her skin, never slowing his pace. “I love you too.” His whispered words cause her body to shiver and convulse as he brings her to the edge of her release. He groans in satisfaction before biting into her neck.
My eyes shift to Caleb as he moves on top of Lizzie with Dom beneath her small body. “Please, please,” she begs them, but I don’t know what for.
“We’ve got you, little one,” Dom murmurs in her ear.
“We’ll take care of you, baby girl.” Caleb slams into her welcoming heat. She screams out in pleasure as tears fall down her cheeks. Caleb kisses away the tears as he pumps into her, his hands roaming her lush body. Dom’s hands squeeze her full breasts and strum along her clit as he moves in time with Caleb. Her head thrashes as the intense pleasure overwhelms her.
“I love you; I love you both so much.” Her moan is nearly incomprehensible.
Caleb kisses her with undeniable hunger as they both pump faster into her. Her nails dig into his shoulders as they kiss, lick and nibble each side of her neck, preparing to mark and claim her.
My heart clenches as I watch them make love to her. They may be beasts and they may be rough, but their love is unquestionable.
Vince’s hand brushes along my back as he whispers into the shell of my ear, “It’s time.” His hot breath tickles my neck and I lean into his hard chest. Turning to face him, I trail my nails along his muscles. He rumbles a hum of encouragement.
I press my lips to him and push my breasts against his chest. “Take me, then.” In an instant, Vince throws me to the ground, bracing my impact with his forearm. His ferocity takes me by surprise, but I allow his lips to crash against mine, and he kisses me passionately with frantic need. He growls into my mouth as he tears apart my skirt, baring me to him. My lips part to object and taunt his primitive behavior, but he shoves his hot tongue into my mouth, devouring mine with a fierce hunger.
