on
his target and enjoyed the explosion first-hand. There was nothing better than
this.

Sadie
bowed her back off the cushion. Her scream rang out around them, filling the
night air, as Granger used his skilled fingers to absolute perfection. Damn, in
all her life, she had never felt something so powerful
as what was happening to her. Every muscle, every nerve, absolutely every piece
of her was focused in on Granger. Nothing else mattered as she shattered under
his touch.
Then
before she knew what happened, Granger had her straddled above him as he sat
back in the chair she’d first found him. She pushed her fingers through his
hair and reveled in the softness. Pulling his head towards her, he accepted her
tongue as Sadie sank onto his length. Already sensitive, Sadie felt the stroke
of his iron with each downward thrust.
Granger’s
hands came up to her hips, attempting to slow her down, but Sadie would have
none of it. He’d set her off and now it was her turn to return the favor.
Unwilling to release his mouth or his cock, Sadie sighed into him and exchanged
breath as she pumped harder, faster. She wanted this strong man, her mate, to
fall under her hands. She wouldn’t stop until she’d pushed him over the edge.
And, Goddess willing, she’d fall with him.
Taking
his mouth with hers, she stroked and nipped his lower lip until he matched her
ferocity, her need. The fierceness of their tongues as they dueled for control
echoed the desperation she felt inside of herself to maintain control over her
emotions. She fought him, stroke for stroke and bite for bite, as they shared
the essence of who they were. Their blood mixed together and coated their
tongues. She could taste it even as Granger began lapping at the drops on her
lips.
He
groaned even as she did the same. “Fuck, Sadie, what you do to me. What you
give to me.”
Finally,
Sadie felt Granger stop fighting her. He acquiesced to her pace. Her hips never
stopped, never slowed. She was a woman on a mission and nothing could get in
her way. She had the control and she would give him everything he craved. Sadie
needed this, needed some control over the craziness surrounding her. She wanted
to wash away this feeling of being swept up and exchange it for the knowledge
that she and Granger were partners, makers of their own destiny.
Sadie
wanted this man inside her, around her, on top of her, below her. She wanted to
never stop touching him, to never have him far enough away she couldn’t reach
out and stroke him. Goddess, she could not imagine a life without him. He’d
become her everything. Sadie wasn’t afraid he’d hurt her. She trusted him,
despite wondering if she could ever trust a man. She trusted Granger with
everything she was.
Letting
go of her fears, Sadie opened her senses even while never giving up the rhythm
she’d set for them. She felt him fill her up. Her soul, her
thoughts, her body. Yes, definitely her body. Grabbing onto his
shoulders, Sadie threw her head back and let out a call to the wild as every
coil inside her released and she felt Granger’s hot fluids splash the inside of
her core. He was everywhere and that was exactly where she needed him.

It was
late morning. The sun was shining bright overhead, which meant they’d slept in.
No doubt they needed the rest, but now that she was awake, she needed
information. Granger remained sleeping soundly. Watching him, Sadie still
couldn’t believe what she had done, what it had felt like to take a mate. Now,
hours later, her body still vibrated with the energy. Nothing her mother or
sisters had ever told her had prepared Sadie for the overwhelming feelings that
warmed her belly or created this electrified sensation that hovered on her skin
with every movement she made.
Her
need for Granger was consuming all her thoughts. She couldn’t think of anything
but being joined with him, even after feeling so fulfilled. Sadie simply
couldn’t get enough. The
