howl, but their first time was special. He couldn’t devour her. Heart racing he tempered his control. He needed to be sweet and caring, gentle, loving…
“Yikes,” he blurted.
She was all over him. The buttons on his shirt went flying when she ripped it off. She grabbed his pants and yanked them down not bothering with the button or zipper.
She’s an animal, and I’m the shifter.
His shoes and socks went sailing over the railing. It didn’t matter. He didn’t need them anymore. Naked they stood studying one another. He lifted his other hand to cup both her cheeks as water trailed lines down her rosy flesh. The water then slid across his knuckles to drip to her shoulder.
Posy’s skin was white as cotton balls in most places. Soon she would tan under the planet’s sun. Maximus captured the image in his mind. He too was white, in his shifter form. His tanned body was a contrast to hers.
“I want to make you my mate.”
Rock hard he stood, heaving, awaiting her response.
Chapter Seven
Everywhere Posy gazed her sight was greeted by breathtaking beauty. Mangos and coconuts hung in trees. Rows of pineapple littered the ground. Trees of nuts hung heavy with bounty. In the distance a fish jumped in a pond. The waterfall was sheltered enough no one could see them, but Posy could see beyond the vines and rock crevices to an open field. Mammoth grazed with giant elk, massive panthers, and giant lions. Both old world animals and new lived in harmony.
Amidst the numerous animals were children of all ages. All were happy, smiling. A few rode the beasts or tussled. A small toddler crawled all over a massive sloth, which lay unmoving in the sun. There were animals she had never seen, different breeds of fantastical color, moving gracefully. Never had she perceived such a beautiful place.
Maximus dropped his hands to his sides letting her make the decision. Every word he spoke was perfect. He wasn’t ogling her boobs. He wasn’t whispering dirty words. She wanted to see his body and gazed on perfection. Her heart was hammering. Maximus was right. She knew now that they were on his planet they belonged together. She wasn’t just his mate, he was hers. The feeling gave her a sense of relief. She was where she belonged. She stepped into Maximus’s open arms. Cradled next to him she melted as she fit perfectly against his solid muscle.
“Yours is the only flesh I will ever indulge in,” Maximus whispered in her ear.
He latched his full lips onto her throat and suckled. Her knees went weak with his power. No longer a mouse and in his element, Maximus didn’t need to shift to show her he changed. The arms of a confident man held her harder. She reached to grip his hair loving the wetness as drops drizzled over her skin.
Maximus turned her and pressed her against the soft moss. Water flowed gently over them in the new position. With a knee he spread her thighs. The head of his cock pushed against her heat demanding entry. With a thrust he was deeply buried within. Posy shook with anticipation as he pulled from her and bucked again.
One hand found a breast, and he lifted her to suck hard. Her legs were wrapped around his waist. Back and forth she swayed as his thumps turned to thundering thrusting. She wanted more and told him so. Maximus chuckled and eagerly accommodated her. Her ass cheeks were crushed to the rocks behind her keeping her in place. She was trapped, and his hands gripped her breasts working her nipples. Each movement brought their lips together, sealing their joining. Tongues intertwined, drinking from one another, then allowing cool water to rush down and over their throats.
She gripped his shoulders, admiring his build. His muscles flexed with his motion. Her insides were in flames. This was the mate she needed, wanted. Powerful, respectful, a demanding lover who gave of himself. When he released his exquisite torture of her breasts, he crushed her body to his. His chest was bare of hair, and
