JAX

A faint smile crossed my face when Aurora gave her usual strong answer. Even with mating heat close to breaking her control, she still tried to stand her ground. That stubborn strength was pure Aurora.

Our lips met before either of us could say anything else.

The first kiss struck like a match. Heat rushed through me so quickly it almost felt dangerous. It pulled me down into something wild, something reckless. Still, pulling away was the last thing on my mind.

Her soft gasp warmed my mouth as we kissed deeper. The heat between us built quickly, stronger with every second. If this was going to burn us both, then fine. I wanted everything that came with it.

Her tongue brushed mine.

A low groan escaped both of us.

Within seconds Aurora shifted and climbed onto my lap. Her knees wrapped tightly around my sides as she straddled me.

The thin layer of denim did nothing to stop the heat of her body pressing against me. Her hips moved slowly at first, then faster as she rubbed herself against the hard length beneath my jeans.

Her breasts pressed firmly into my chest.

Even that wasn’t enough.

My hands moved into her hair, fingers threading through the soft strands as I pulled our mouths apart. My lips followed the line of her jaw before trailing down the side of her neck. If I were fully in wolf form right then, my teeth would already be sinking into her skin.

One bite would mark her.

Everyone would know she belonged to me.

The way she kept moving against my lap made one thing clear. This was not going to last long if she kept grinding like that. Experience didn’t seem to matter in that moment. Everything felt new, almost overwhelming.

Since becoming her guardian, no other woman had mattered.

The truth had been sitting there for a long time.

Aurora was it for me.

My hands settled on her hips. I pulled her down harder against my lap, giving her exactly the friction she was searching for. Her body jolted at the pressure.

A long night could come later.

Right now everything was happening fast.

A sprint instead of a marathon.

Her cries filled the SUV, raising the heat in my blood even more. Her breasts bounced in front of my face as she moved wildly. Aurora had never been shy about what she liked.

Rough.

Hard.

Unrestrained.

Those thoughts had crossed my mind plenty of times before.

Now there was no reason to hold back.

My hand slid between us. My fingers found the slick warmth waiting beneath her. The wetness there surprised even me.

Damn.

She was already soaked.

For a moment an image flashed through my head. Flipping her onto her back. Spreading her legs apart. Burying my face between her thighs until she begged me to stop.

But we were still inside a vehicle.

Still too exposed.

There wasn’t time for real foreplay.

Still, temptation pulled at me.

My thumb moved slowly across her sensitive clit.

Her breath caught immediately.

“I need to be fucked, Jax. Pleaseeee,” she pleaded as her hips rolled against my hand.

Hearing those words should have made me tease her longer.

But watching her struggle didn’t feel right. She had already dealt with too much today.

Relief was something I could give her.

And having that sharp, demanding mouth focused on me was easily the best part of my entire year.

Her fingers rushed to the button of my pants, trying to open them.

My hand stopped her quickly.

“I’ve got this,” I growled.

The button popped open. The zipper followed right after. Cool air brushed my skin.

Before I could react, Aurora’s hand wrapped around my cock.

My eyes rolled back for a moment at the feeling of her strong, eager grip.

My hand tightened in her hair again, pulling her head back until our eyes met.

“If you want this to last longer than ten seconds,” I warned quietly, “let go.”

Even through the haze of mating heat, a playful spark flashed in her eyes.

“Next time, baby. I promise. Once we get somewhere safe, I’ll let you do whatever you want. We’ll keep going until we both pass out. Deal?”

She hesitated for a moment.

Then she nodded.

Her hand released me.

As a reward, my finger moved between her legs again and rubbed firmly across her clit.

Her hands gripped my shoulders so tightly they might leave marks.

“Oh Gods,” she cried.

The touch disappeared almost immediately.

My cock nudged against her entrance.

“Kiss me, baby,” I murmured. “I want your mouth on mine.”

A smile appeared on her lips.

She grabbed my head and pulled me toward her. Our mouths met again, and the moment her tongue touched mine, my hips drove upward.

One deep push.

I was fully inside her.

Aurora screamed into my mouth as her body arched. The first orgasm rushed through her almost instantly. Her muscles clenched tightly around me.

Holding back my own release took every bit of control I had.

She needed more.

Our mouths stayed locked together while I moved inside her. The position was awkward in the cramped SUV, but neither of us cared.

It still felt perfect.

Her nails dug into my skin. Her tongue fought mine in a fierce rhythm. It almost felt like a silent contest between us.

The truth was simple.

Control could be taken whenever I decided.

But watching her lose herself while riding me was something I couldn’t resist.

My fingers traced along her ribcage before briefly tugging at one nipple.

Just long enough to remind her where the real control sat.

“Harder,” she begged. “Please.”

A small smile formed against her lips.

“Take what you need,” I whispered softly. “I’m here for you, my love.”

That seemed to unlock something in her.

Aurora took control immediately. Her hips began moving wildly as she rode me harder. Fast movements shifted into slower rolls, then twisting motions that pulled even deeper reactions from both of us.

Aurora did everything with her full strength.

This was no different.

Her breathing turned ragged as my mouth moved along her neck again. I sucked at the skin and added small bites that made her shiver. She clearly wanted something deeper.

In the middle of mating heat, a true bite from a wolf would push her even further.

But that thought didn’t slow her movements.

She drove herself harder against me.

“Mouth, Aurora,” I ordered quietly.

A flash of anger crossed her eyes for a moment. It nearly made me laugh. Still, her lips came back to mine.

Both our bodies tightened.

The end was close.

Just before her mouth reached mine again, the final words slipped out.

“Maybe we won’t exchange a blood bite tonight,” I murmured against her ear. “But later I’ll fuck your mouth until my cock presses against the back of your throat. Then I’ll finish there until you can barely breathe.”

The reaction was immediate.

Aurora lost the last of her restraint.

The frenzy that followed left my heart racing. Our tongues tangled again while she slammed down against me again and again. The tight grip around me became almost unbearable.

Aurora broke first.

Her body shuddered as another orgasm hit. Her wet heat clenched tightly around my cock.

That was all it took.

A deep groan escaped me as I followed her into release.

For a moment the world seemed to disappear.

When the kiss finally broke, her teeth were still slightly bared. The hunger in her eyes had not faded.

“Do it,” I urged quietly. “Make me yours.”

My breathing slowly steadied.

“Because you’re already mine.”

A soft, dreamy smile crossed her lips.

For a moment it looked like she might hold back.

But the desire took over again.

Both of us knew she could have stopped if she wanted.

Thank God she didn’t.
