Unwrapping Tess (A Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance)(Vegas Mates Book 5): Christmas Encounters by Krystal Shannan

possible.
    “Tess.”  
    Her name on his lips fed her arousal. Liquid ran down the insides of her thighs and she hummed against his cock, knowing the vibrations gave him pleasure. She enjoyed the control, suckling and licking until he shook.
    “Gods, Tess.”
    He pulled away suddenly, then lifted her from the floor and turned her away from him, bending her over the side of the bed. With his hands on her hips, he positioned her, then shoved inside with one thrust.  
    He climbed onto the bed behind her, and she crawled forward with him until they were in the center of the bed. Her breath came out in pants as he pulled and pushed. Starting slow and building up speed. His length and girth filled her so perfectly.  
    He leaned forward and the heat from his chest warmed her back. He feathered kisses along her back, getting closer and closer to that soft spot where her neck met her shoulder. He moved one hand from her hip and slid it around to flick her clit.  
    Gods have mercy! Her body exploded around his cock and everything around her turned to stars. His fingers were relentless and wave after wave rushed through her body until the only thing holding her from sinking into the bed were Patrick’s hands and his hard cock.
    He was showing a dominant side to her now. Asking for everything she could give and she did. Her body was his to move. His to command. She gasped for air as magick rippled between them. Her orgasm carried her to the heavens above and back. Just as she started to recover, pain coursed through her shoulder and she climaxed again. Forgetting the pain of his bite and soaring high into the clouds of ecstasy. He played her body expertly, pinching her clit and then a nipple. Then going back again. He pushed and pushed.
    Then jerked against her, coming hard, filling her and roaring her name. He shuddered and then released her shoulder, licking the wound until the magick sealed and closed it. Then he slowly pulled out and gently guided her body to the mattress.
    Her wolf growled and she twisted to land on her back instead. She reached for him and pulled him down on top of her.  
    He braced himself on his elbows to keep from crushing her under his weight.
    She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck and shoulder, pulling herself off the bed and closer to him. Her fangs lengthened and she bit into his shoulder, marking him as her mate. He nuzzled the opposite side of her neck and bit again. She moaned against his skin and breathed through the pain as the magick evened it out.  
    The bond between them roared to life, even more than it already was. It was like a floodgate had opened and a stream turned into a rushing river. She could feel his love. His devotion to her. His bear’s feelings were the same and just as strong. It was amazing.
    “You are our mate,” an unfamiliar deep voice spoke in her mind.
    “And you are ours,” her wolf’s voice returned.  
    She breathed deeply and but couldn’t stop the trembling in her body. Her fatigued muscles gave out and she retracted her fangs, releasing his shoulder from her mouth. He did the same and rolled with her to his side, cuddling her tightly to his chest and whispering in her ear how much he loved her and promised to treasure her forever.
    The feelings were mutual and hers flowed in waves through their bond to him. She’d never expected to find her mate in Woodhaven, but she couldn’t be happier that she had.  
    Fate had known what she needed and found a way to make her the happiest woman on the planet.

CHAPTER TEN

    “Merry Christmas!” The chorus went up around the great room. Glasses of champagne and apple cider clinked together, followed by cheers and laughter.  
    So many of the pack had come. The inn was filled to capacity and some of the kids were even sleeping on the floor in the living areas. Their sleeping bags were rolled up right now and stacked against one of the walls.
    “To the future of the pack and babies on the
