Out of Place Mate Read online

  In one hard thrust, he pushed into her. Victoria cried out, her body shuddering beneath him at his invasion.

  She was hot and wet. He groaned. How could one woman undo everything he thought he knew about fucking all at once? Pleasure surged through his veins, but something else accompanied the sensation. His eyes traveled down to the smooth skin on her back. The sweet smoothness had been marred by lines that some bigoted lunatic had placed there.

  He pulled out then thrust inside of her again. She called out his name and he kissed one of the marks on her back. Beneath him, she shuddered.

  If the pleasure his body could give hers would make it all go away, he’d gladly do whatever it took.

  He squeezed her ass hard, pulling her back to him as he thrust in and out of her body. Time left the room. Only Victoria existed. Her pussy throbbed around him, her muscles milking him, daring him to take her over the edge.

  Sean had never had a dare he didn’t want to win.

  He pushed hard, compelling her to give everything she had to him. She called his name, gripping the table in front of her with her hands. She dug her fingers into the surface, butchering it beneath her hands.

  “Oh, Sean. I don’t know if I can. It’s too much.”

  He knew what she meant. To let go to pleasure in such a moment meant that she’d release part of her spirit she kept hidden from the world. He understood her feelings, he had them himself. How could she keep her soul protected if she let herself explode around another person?

  But he wouldn’t accept less than everything from her.

  “Come for me, beautiful wolf. Wrap your pussy around me. I need it.”

  He didn’t usually have to ask his bed partners to orgasm. Most of the rich, pampered women who came to his bed could orgasm as easily as they got their nails done, as if letting part of their souls go could be akin to an ordinary experience. Sean supposed that for them there wasn’t much of a difference. He certainly hadn’t worried about it from his end.

  But with Victoria? Something felt stronger, more important….

  “Tell me to.”

  He plunged, his cock dying for release. “What?”

  “Tell me to. Make me come.”

  Gladly. “Tori, come for me. Let go, baby.”

  Like his ordering her made it happen, she exploded. In that moment, he belonged to her. Her orgasm made him hotter than he’d ever been and stole part of his soul at the same time.

  She screamed his name and a second later, he yelled hers, not caring who heard him. Before she collapsed on the table, he grabbed her, pulling her against his chest.

  He rolled until he took the brunt of their mutual lack of muscle control, with her on top of him. Breathing hard, he ran his fingers over her body pausing only to massage where he felt like it and stroke her when the mood compelled him.

  “I, um….”

  He raised an eyebrow at her lack of words. “What? You, um, what?”

  He’d never been so fulfilled before…and so unfulfilled at the same time. He didn’t know exactly why he had a hole in his heart that needed to be sewn shut.

  “I have something I must do.” Her voice had lowered an octave.

  “By all means.”

  She pulled out of his arms, climbing on top of him until she straddled his body.

  He ran a hand down her neck. “You’re the hottest woman I’ve ever known, but I don’t think I can get hard again quite yet.”

  She leaned over him. “It’s not sex I need.”

  Her teeth sank into his neck and he moaned, that empty space finally being filled. She had mated him. Yes. He closed his eyes. It had been what he needed. He’d belonged to her. His body had known it before his mind.

  After a few moments, she let go. Her voice, when she spoke, sounded remorseful. “I’m sorry. You’re mine. I couldn’t have stopped that if I wanted to and I didn’t want to.”

  He opened his lids. “Then why are you sorry?”

  “Because you might not have wanted to be mated to me.”

  He wouldn’t have volunteered for it, not if she’d given him the choice. His first marriage—and he knew enough to know that mating meant marriage—had been a disaster. He’d never thought to do it again. But, his cock jumped at the thought of fucking Victoria for the rest of his life. She’d be spunky and interesting. Plus, after having just had her, he couldn’t stand the idea of anyone else touching her. Ever.

  “Honey. You belong to me. I’m glad your animal knew it. Because otherwise I might have had a hard time dragging you to all the job sites I have to go to all over the world.”

  “We’re going to travel?”

  He sat up pulling her back down on top of him. “Home is not one place for me. From now on it’s wherever you are.”

  “We’ll never be alone as long as we’re together, is that the general idea?”

  He smiled, nipping at her fingertip. “You catch on fast.”
