“Your Pack is my Pack,” Jace promised.
“Your Pack is my Pack,” Ash echoed. She stretched out, pulled Jace on top of her. Her wolf rose in her body and her blood, certain and sure. “If you are not completely well—”
“You presume, Wolf.” Jace braced herself on both hands, slid her thigh between Ash’s, caught her lip between her canines. “I am better than well right now.”
Ash chuckled. “I can tell. Your flesh is full and ready, as is mine.”
“Will you take me now, as I take you?” Jace whispered.
Ash gripped her shoulders, dug her claws in deep enough to draw tiny pinpricks of blood. Jace growled and her canines lengthened. Ash’s chest throbbed, waiting for the release she knew would come, for the overpowering agony of joining, on the crest of pleasure.
“I have always and ever been waiting for you.”
“I will always and ever be yours,” Jace growled. Sliding her hips between Ash’s thighs, she fitted her clitoris against Ash’s, linking them for the final exchange. Her sex readied for the explosion of hormones and neurochemicals that would fuse their flesh, unite their bond, and transform their essence.
Jace gasped. “I love you.”
Ash took her deeper. “For you and only you.”
Jace lowered her mouth to Ash’s chest where her heart’s blood flowed the strongest at the instant Ash’s canines struck her exposed throat. Their bites were simultaneous and their release instant. Their roar of pleasure shattered the air. Heat scoured Jace’s mind until her heart beat in time with Ash’s. She rolled onto her back and pulled Ash above her.
“Again.”
Ash took her as she had been taken, as equals, as mates, as they would ever remain.
