Sassy Ever After: Wise Sass Mates (Kindle Worlds Novella) by Tasha Black

was anointed.
    His big hands were molding her to him.
    That woodsy scent she’d thought hung on him before was suddenly stronger and more complicated, as if it had gained a new dimension.
    Were her senses improving? Or was it just the emotion of the situation putting a superlative on everything - the most romantic kiss, the strongest chest, the warmest hands, the woodsiest scent?
    When his tongue stroked hers with that same singular concentration he’d kissed her with the night before, she let go of her thoughts and soaked in the moment with him.
    This was Ian Anderson, the man she’d yearned for ever since she could remember, the man she’d frantically coupled with on the forest floor, the man who turned into that magnificent silver wolf, and who always seemed to find her when there was real trouble, and try to protect her.
    She slid her hands up his chest, fingers fiddling with the buttons. She needed to feel the heat of his skin against her.
    He moved her hands away, still kissing her.
    She slid her arms up around his neck and arched her back, pressing her breasts against his muscled chest. God, it felt good.
    He groaned into her mouth and she felt his hands go around her ass and squeeze her to him.
    His cock was already so hard she could practically feel every vein through their clothes.
    She rubbed herself against him and he lifted her effortlessly up again.
    She wrapped her legs around his waist and let him carry her into the living room, where he lowered her to a soft wool rug.
    Then he was at her neck, nuzzling and lapping at the place where he had bitten her before. Her skin tingled and she went soft under his touch, half expecting him to bite her again.
    Instead, he leaned back and lifted her shirt over her head.
    The cool air of the room invigorated her. She waited for him to remove her bra and treat her breasts to the attention he’d given them last time.
    Instead, he slid a finger under the edge of one cup, slipping it down under her breast so that the bra pushed her nipple up toward him. He did the same with the other cup, leaving Bianca feeling more naughty than if he had merely removed the garment.
    She arched up to him waiting for his kiss, but he was ignoring her stiff nipples to drag down the zipper of her jeans and then tug them to her ankles where he patiently removed shoes and jeans.
    Bianca lay obediently on the rug, feeling a bit passive but mostly wanting to see what he would do next, if she allowed him free reign.
    He did not leave her in suspense.
    The next thing she knew, he was nuzzling from her ankles all the way up, past the ticklish spot on the inside of her knees, to her panties.
    She held in a gasp as he nosed the thin fabric. She could feel his hot breath on her sex, and she felt herself swell and grow wetter for him.
    He extended his tongue and licked a long, lazy swipe across the lace that separated them.
    “Oh,” she sighed.
    “Mm,” he hummed back to her, and then slowly licked her again.
    “Ah,” she whimpered.
    “Mm,” he praised her, licking again.
    Bianca prayed for the strength not to thrust herself into his face, but her will power was fading quickly.
    She felt him slide a long finger beneath the lace and felt the twin sensations of panic and relief. Would he help her? Or would he only tease her further?
    He pressed his finger against her opening, pushing slowly all the way to his second knuckle.
    Bianca could feel her body locking down on him, her hips quivered, yearning for friction.
    He eased his finger out again, then sucked it into his mouth, moaning with satisfaction.
    Jesus god, that was hot.
    Before she could recover he was sinking his finger into her again, then ever so slowly pulling it out to taste her again.
    Bianca could feel her clitoris swelling and stiffening against the lace of her panties.
    He buried his finger in her and lovingly sucked it clean a third time, ignoring her clit completely as she whimpered and trembled under his touch.
    When he made as
