SIX

SCARLETT POV

He leans in, closing the gap between our lips, and kisses me gently. I move my arms so they are now around his neck as he rolls us slightly, so he is laying over me but not on top of me. He slowly adds more dominance to the kiss, tightening his arms, pulling me closer and more underneath him. I tense and open my eyes as he pulls back. Breaking the kiss, he moves one of his hands to my cheek.

“Relax Butterfly, I will not take it further until you are ready.”

I relax, and he starts kissing me again. This time he moves his kisses down the side of my neck and whispers, “May I Butterfly?”

“Yes!” I move my head slightly allowing him more room as I feel his fangs lengthen, he slides them lightly over my skin before sinking them in slowly, then retracting them and drinking, I let out a mix of a moan, a growl, and a hiss as the pleasure from him drinking spreads through my body, it takes me by surprise because it has never felt like this before.

I shiver as he swipes his tongue over my skin, sealing it. He smiles against my skin as he whispers again, “Was that nice? Butterfly?”

“That was better than nice. How can you drinking give me that much pleasure? It didn’t before. Why now?”

“Scarlett, your wolf can now feel the mate bond between us and is liking the connection of our touch, so from now on any of the simple things we used to do like drinking will now be accompanied by pleasure and tonight because of the effect the blood moon has on mated and unmated couples everything is heightened even more.”

“Soren do you mind if I???”

“You can just don’t linger too long drinking, as the pleasure it will give me will make it even harder to fight off the pull to make you mine and complete the mating process... I don't know if I would be able to continue to fight it...”

I tense at his words but nod as my fangs lengthen. He tilts his head to the side, allowing me access to his neck. I sink my fangs in, retract them, and drink. I hear him hiss and he tightens his arms around me a little more. I do as he says and only take a small amount before I swipe my tongue over my bite, sealing his skin again.

I take a deep breath and let out a mix of a growl, a hiss, and a moan. I feel him laugh as he goes to pull back. I don’t expect it, but I tighten my arms and don’t allow him to move as both my fangs and canines lengthen. Both Cara and Ruth wanted to mark what is theirs. I scrape them at the junction of his shoulder and neck. I hear him hiss low and whisper into my ear, “Butterfly, you can mark me! This is a natural part of mating, don’t be scared.”

With his permission, I sink both my fangs and canines into the junction at his shoulder, making him hiss out loud. I retract my fangs, then my canines as I swipe my tongue over my mark. He shivers again as he pulls back and looks me in the eyes; he doesn’t say anything but flicks his eyes from mine down to my lips and back again. I smile and give him a small nod, to which he then smiles and goes back to kissing me.

I run my hands over his chest and down to the edge of his shirt. I nervously pull up on his shirt, taking it up and over his head, breaking our kiss just long enough for him to remove it from his head. He pulls me over and up just a bit so he can do the same to me. I shiver as his fingers skim the bare skin on the side of my ribs, sending sparks everywhere. As soon as my shirt is off my head, he is back to kissing me. He holds me tight and rolls us back so I am now fully underneath him.

Soren runs kisses from my lips down my neck and over my chest, moving his hands down to my waist. I arch my back as pleasure runs through me, but I also start to tense as I realize what he is doing. He uses the pleasure he is causing to completely remove my pants, while he still runs his hands over my bare skin. I tense and start to cover myself, feeling a little shy all of a sudden. He moves quickly, moving back up so he is again kissing my lips, and then my neck until he is whispering into my ear “It's okay Butterfly, just relax and trust me... You are beautiful!”

“Soren, please… I’m scared… I don’t know if I can...”

“If you want to stop Butterfly we will, here just relax and lay with me.”

He moves off of me, rolling onto his side, taking me with him. He just lays there and holds me tight to him. I move my hands to his chest and listen as he hisses and arches his back a little from the pleasure. He removes his arms from around me for a few seconds before returning them tightly around me. I relax into his hold as he kisses me softly again. I run my hands up his chest and around his neck. He deepens the kiss, using more dominance as he turns us again, so I am back underneath him. As he moves his knees between my legs, I realize he has at some point removed his pants too. I tense a little again with a whimper. He seems to ignore it as he moves his kisses to my neck and makes his way down to the junction between my neck and shoulder, he sucks on the spot for his mark, making me arch my back as pleasure and sparks run through me, he pulls away from my skin and whispers “Butterfly can I mark you? I need you! Can I finally make you mine?”
