first. “Try mine.”
    Raina parted her luscious pink lips and let him feed her. Then she picked up her own spoon. “Your turn.”
    He opened his mouth. Shivers of desire ran up and down his spine as Raina fed him a mouthful of silken pudding. Of course she was his mate. She loved romantic gestures and small intimacies, just like he did. They were perfectly suited for each other.
    They fed each other, alternating bites, until they were done. Then Owen remembered something.
    “You never told me,” he said. “What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever done?”
    He watched Raina take a deep breath. She bit her lip, worrying it between her white teeth, and he could tell that she was wondering whether or not to tell him. She looked like she wanted to, but the thought of it scared her, too.
    Owen was wild with curiosity. “Go on. Do it.”
    Her voice was low with desire, throaty like the purr of a lioness. “What I’m doing right now.”
    Raina leaned forward, giving him a great view of her luscious, pearly globes. Then a finger stroked his cock under the table, sending a bolt of electric heat through his entire body. Owen nearly levitated out of his seat with surprise. He couldn’t stop himself from gasping aloud, and thrusting himself up to meet her touch.
    “Raina!” His voice was the growl of a bear rejoicing in his mate’s boldness.
    Take her , rumbled his bear. Take her now, now, now!
    Naturally, that was the moment the waiter chose to stop by the table. “How were the desserts?”
    “Uh…” Owen couldn’t even speak. Her hand hidden by the tablecloth, Raina was squeezing and caressing his swollen cock. Then she moved her thumb over his balls, rubbing in exquisitely tormenting circles. He felt like he was about to explode.
    “Everything’s absolutely wonderful,” Raina said, her voice a little unsteady. Her brown eyes were bright with mischief. Looking straight at Owen, she deliberately licked her lips, making them glisten with a film of moisture from her wet pink tongue. “The best I’ll ever taste… I mean, tasted.”
    Owen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, forcing back a groan. That tongue of hers! His mate telling him that she wanted to taste him! Everything about Raina set him on fire.
    Summoning all his self-control, he managed to get out, “I can’t wait to taste, too. I mean the next time I’m here.”
    “Did you have a favorite?” asked the waiter.
    “Oh, it’s so hard …” Raina gave Owen a squeeze. “…to choose.”
    There was no way he could top that, and he didn’t want to try. What he wanted was to throw his mate over her shoulder and carry her to some private place where they could have wild sex all night.
    He fumbled out his wallet and dropped some cash on the table, hoping that would get rid of the waiter.
    “I’ll bring you your change,” said the waiter.
    “Keep it!” Owen gasped.
    As soon as the delighted waiter left, Owen leaned in to Raina. “My office is right next door. That’s why I know this place. Want to come?”
    It was as if once Raina had thrown away some of her fears, she had tossed them all aside. Her warm gaze met Owen’s as she said in a throaty purr, “Oh, I would love to come.”
    He managed a laugh as he realized what he’d said. “Princess, me and my broadsword can make you come like you never have before. Now let’s go, before I can’t resist throwing you across the table and having you right here and now.”
    The delicate skin of her throat bobbed as she swallowed, and he knew that fantasy had turned her on.
    A colossal, visible erection tented his pants as he stood, but he didn’t care. All that mattered was that he was about to make love with his mate for the very first time. He put his arm around the welcoming softness of her back, and escorted her outside.
    Owen could barely manage to punch in his code to get into the office. All he could think of was Raina’s luscious body pressed next to his, covered by slippery satin, and
