LOGINHey, guys. 💜 Jenival, here. I've been seeing your reads, but I have not seen even a comment from any of you yet. It would mean a lot to me if you say hi, or share your thoughts about the book in the comments. If I have even one reader, please say hi. 😩
The one thing Natalie had always known would be annoying about being mated was that having such an intense connection to someone meant there were no secrets. Not that Natalie had any huge dark secrets or anything, but there were little itty-bitty ones that she would have preferred to keep to herself. For example — Natalie had come to love waking up with Dominic’s big body practically cocooning her. It made her feel safe, sheltered, and secure. It also made her feel a little dumb and feeble. She was an Alpha, for God’s sake, and yet she loved being cuddled and protected. It felt like a weakness. If Dominic woke up now and tapped into what she was feeling, he would know that. By God, if he teased her about it she’d kick his balls so hard they ended up in his throat. It was still hard getting her head around the fact that they were true mates. It wasn’t so much that. It was just the way everything seemed to have happened at once — realizing she loved him, hearing he cared about her, an
Davina stood up and then dropped to one knee, head bowed. Matt copied the move. Then Paul, Ray, Trevor, Genny, Lynn, Campbell, Ryan, and finally Talon. “No, guys, please don’t,” Natalie began, but they remained where they were like white knights, and it freaked her out. “Come on, get up.” She nudged Dominic. “Tell them to get up.” “They’re acknowledging us as their Alpha pair, offering us their loyalty.” “Well, they can be loyal while standing up.” Dominic turned to his aunt, who looked like a sulking child. “Grace?” “This sort of thing wouldn’t have happened in my day,” Grace said. “When I met your uncle, we were both virgins. You can’t tell me she was one.” Natalie smiled. “Well, of course you were. It was expected back in 1465.” “And it’s not natural how much… um… intimate relations you have. We might be shifters, but we’re not animals. It’s disgusting.” Dominic groaned. “How about we skip the insults and just get to the point?” “I’m not getting down on one knee,” she spat
Gently, Dominic brought Natalie’s face to his and ravished her mouth, gliding his tongue against hers and drinking her into him. “Drak’s feeling pretty smug about this.” She smiled. “So is Raven. Think the rest of the pack will be okay about it?” “Let’s go find out.” Although it had been hot at the time to tear her jeans from her body, Dominic was regretting it as he walked back toward the house with a half-naked Natalie. Werewolf shifters were pretty easy about nakedness since they had to strip in front of each other a lot for shifting, but it wasn’t something they did so casually under other circumstances. When they reached the spot where he’d thrown his clothes, he gave Natalie his T-shirt to wear. A smile spread over his face at the sight of her practically drowning in it. “Did it ever occur to you that I’m not too small and you’re just ridiculously big?” Zipping his fly, he shrugged. “You like how big I am.” Of course, as usual, he was referring to the bulge in his jeans,
After a few seconds, Natalie lifted her head so she could rest her chin on Dominic’s chest, but then realized he had rolled them over and she was lazed over him.“I—”Nothing more came out. She was in shock, and that shock had taken away her ability to speak. She could have told herself that what was happening was the imprinting bond beginning to develop, but she knew it would be a lie. She knew that what was happening was more than that, knew it as sure as she knew that she needed oxygen to survive—it was a knowing that basic and primitive.A bond was developing between them, all right, but it wasn’t an imprinting or etching bond.It was the true mate bond.She knew she shouldn’t be so surprised. Raven and her body had been trying to give her hints all along, but she had convinced herself that it couldn’t be true. There had been plenty of signs. Like the way Raven had reacted to Dominic’s scent right from the beginning—hell, he had kidnapped her, but she’d been as calm as a dove. She
"No one owns me," Natalie somehow managed to bellow even as she was still moaning and whimpering. She flexed the hands Dominic had pinned behind her back, clawing his stomach in retaliation. He groaned. "Yeah, baby, scratch me. You know I like it. Do you know what else I like? Feeling your hot little pussy squeeze my cock while you come all over me. Make that happen for me, Natalie. I want it, now." With that, he upped the speed of his thrusts and sank his teeth over his mark. Instantly she screamed and her muscles bitingly clamped down on his cock, milking him as he growled her name and exploded inside her. Completely sated, he released her arms and they both sank to the ground, him still atop her and still inside her. "I swear to God I'm going to rip your spine out of your ass," she panted. "As soon as I can move, I'm going to do it." ***Dominic chuckled and licked his mark, liking the shudder that ran through her. Movement in his peripheral vision snatched his attention and h
Natalie couldn’t help being annoyed with her body—it didn’t care that he had hurt her. No, it was responding to him as it always did, like the goddamn hussy Grace described. Even now, as she was considering a good place to bury his body, she couldn’t move her eyes from the sight of him stroking himself.Not trusting that she could keep resisting him, she snarled and sprang upward, grabbing onto the branch above her head. She hauled herself up and stood perfectly balanced. He didn’t look impressed.“Get your pretty little ass down here now, and I might not spank it.”She snorted. “You say that as if you think I’d let you spank me.”“Now, Natalie,” he drawled.Instead, she shot him a challenging look. As she expected, he began climbing his way up the tree, reaching for her. She sprang to the next tree, then swung from that tree to the next, and the next, and the next before finally jumping to the ground and dashing away. She could hear him hot on her heels, but she didn’t once look back
