tight nipple between his fingers. Pinpricks covered her skin, and her pussy throbbed, begging for his touch, his caress.
She felt Damian wrap an arm around her back and move so he could lay her on the floor. She gasped as the cool wood touched her bare back but didn’t take her eyes off the gorgeous male hovering over her.
He undid her jeans and slid them, along with her panties, over her hips and down her legs. Discarding the last of her clothes, Damian stared down at her. She had the childish urge to cover herself, but that was a human reaction. Shifters didn’t have modesty issues. They grew up with nudity being a natural part of their lives since shifting into their animals' forms dissolved their clothes anyway.
A low growl drew her attention back to Damian. He smiled, and damn if he wasn’t the sexiest thing she’d ever seen.
“You are so beautiful.” His voice came out husky.
He dipped his head and pressed a kiss to one nipple then the other before he nipped his way down her stomach to the inside of her right thigh. He bit down gently, drawing a half-growl, half-moan from her.
When he slid a finger inside her, she nearly came right then. He chuckled and held her gaze as he lowered his head and licked her from her entrance to her clit in a slow, lazy stroke. Pleasure overtook her as Damian closed his mouth over her, sucking her lips as he slid another finger inside and pumped them in and out until she was drunk with pleasure.
She fisted her hands in his hair and moved against him with each lick and thrust until a wave of an orgasm crashed over her.
Chapter Four
Damian withdrew his finger and trailed his tongue up her flat stomach. She shuddered and let out a soft moan as he made his way up her body. She was beautiful and perfect to him. His cat agreed. The puma rubbed up against him from within, trying to get closer to Sarah.
The damn animal wanted out so his fur could touch Sarah.
When Damian reached her breast, he gave one nipple a slow lick before rising above her to peer into her heavy-lidded eyes. He smiled, and she reached up to cup his face. Her brow dipped, making his heartache. Lowering his head, he whispered. “It’s just me and you, right?”
Sarah took a deep breath and nodded. “I was thinking that I might still be mad at you.”
He felt his lips twitch. “Yeah?”
“Yep. You should have come to me years ago.”
He pressed his forehead to hers. “I know, but I thought I was keeping you safe by staying away.”
“I will always love Walt.”
He lay down beside her and wrapped his arms around her, drawing her into his chest. “I know. I miss him too.”
“Is it wrong for us to be together? I mean is it wrong to want this?”
He kissed her temple and thought about it for a moment. “No, I don’t think so. We can’t fight fate. I’ve always known you were my mate.”
“And I didn’t because I was mated to another.”
“What about now?”
She snuggled into him. “I felt the tug when I saw you in the woods.” She rolled in his arms so she faced him. “Just when I stop searching for a future, you show up with trouble on your heels.”
He grinned his best wicked grin. “You know me. Trouble is my real name. I go by Damian as a disguise.”
She laughed. “Well then, Trouble, make love to me. Show me how it is to be wanted, loved again.”
He rolled her to her back and nipped at her chin, making her laugh again. God, he’d missed her laugh. He’d never imagined the day would come that he’d get his mate. No, he’d given her up to his best friend all those years ago.
Now, he had a second chance to make her his. He was going to do just that. The rogues and rebels be damned.
He captured her mouth with his and thrust his tongue inside to seek out hers. Sarah laced her fingers in his hair and tugged. His cat purred, and his dick pressed painfully behind the zipper of his jeans.
He broke her hold and stood to remove his clothes. All the while Sarah watched
