Mated To The Alpha: A Standalone Wolf Shifter Romance, стр. 24
She felt his lips press softly against hers, and all was lost.
His mouth started to move against hers, with hers. The soft pressure deepening as they explored each other.
His hands found her face, cupping it gently and holding it still as he deepened the kiss. His tongue slid between her lips, finding hers, and she moaned against it as she tasted him for the first time in weeks. No crowd, no bon fire, just the two of them, alone together.
Her moan triggered something in him. She felt his hands slide further, burying themselves in her hair, tilting her head and pulling her mouth harder against his.
She found his waist with her hands, his skin warm and firm under her palms. The bare skin reminded her that he was naked, and she slid her hands up, needing to explore every inch of the chest she had been fascinated by for weeks.
His chest was as fun to explore as she knew it would be. Her thumbs and fingertips slid over every curve and dip of his muscles, pressing against his warm skin. She slid her hands around, following his rib cage toward his wide back. She felt her way up, over his back muscles, toward his shoulders, and letting her instincts guide her, she clawed her hands so that her nails dug into his skin a bit, and she drug her nails down his back from shoulders to waist.
It was his turn to moan. The hot, animal groan rumbled in his body, thrilling her hands as she felt the vibrations, and driving all sense from her brain as the sexy sound reached her ears.
He left one hand buried in her hair, but he wrapped the other around her waist, pulling their bodies close and allowing no air between them.
She felt the hardness of his naked cock against her stomach, and erotic need flowed through her. She had no time to react to his naked body pressed against her clothed one, though, before he was walking her backward the few steps until her back hit the cave wall and his weight pressed harder against her.
She pulled her arms from around his back, wrapping them around his neck instead, using the leverage to pull his mouth harder down on hers. She rose on her tiptoes, back against the wall, trying to get even closer to him.
He adjusted his grip, bending at the knees for a moment, and standing tall again, pulling her feet off the ground.
She wrapped her legs around his waist, hugging him tighter to her, both with her thighs and her arms as their kiss became less exploratory and more primal.
Her body was rocked with need and she returned every kiss with the same hunger she felt in him. Her brain was half in this moment, and half processing the images she was 'seeing' as they held each other tight.
This time she did 'see' two options, like he had mentioned before.
One scenario showed her letting him guard her through her first heat, here in this cave, but not letting him have her. She flashed on the next few months following that decision. She felt division, and pain, his pack split in two. She saw herself leaving here a year from now, alone, but not happy.
The second scenario played out next to the first. In that one, she mated with Elam, the same hot, torrid scenes she 'saw' before, getting even more detailed. Oh fuck, the sex she saw there was mind-blowing.
She saw only raw passion, at first. But then, as the months played out in her mind, she saw love, and tenderness as well. But there, behind all that, she still saw division, and pain. She still saw his pack divided, split in two, but there was more. There was danger here, in choosing to stay. And something else. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she saw change as well.
A core change to her very soul. Fear, danger, but joy there as well.
The visions played out, finally, leaving her mind and body fully in the moment.
She reveled in the feel of Elam, warm and solid between her legs. She rocked her hips against him, her body seeking out his hard cock, rubbing against it even though she was hidden away from him under jeans and panties.
She unwrapped one arm from around his neck and found the back of his head with her palm, fisting his hair in her grip and tugging as she turned her head. She ripped his mouth from hers, aiming his mouth to her bared neck instead.
Her breath came in gasps as she felt his teeth nip her behind the ear and kiss a trail down her neck.
He held her up with one arm under her ass, and her weight held pinned against the cave wall. He used his now free hand to tug the fabric of her shirt away from her neck, pulling the neck hole wide and exposing one shoulder.
His mouth found the newly bared skin, licking and nipping at her collar bone and shoulder before his hand went seeking the hem of her shirt, and tugging it up to bare her bra.
His hand cupped her breast, his thumb finding and teasing a tight nipple through the thin fabric.
"I need you, Emma."
He moaned the words against the hot skin of her neck as his large hand teased and kneaded her breast.
"I've known since the minute I saw you that you would be mine. You know it, too. You have seen it. Feel how good we are together? I can smell your need. You want me as badly as I want you."
"Elam!"
"Oh fuck. Say it again,
