  Spending the afternoon with him lacked all the drama to which she had become accustomed. There was no worry about the sun or from whom he had recently fed. Aric was normal. Aric was human, and Divina was practically human. She could pretend.

  Not to mention it felt right.

  Aric’s infectious laugh made Divina’s cheeks hurt from joining him and smiling along with him. His smile caused her heart to flutter when she saw the dimple in his one cheek.

  With playful storytelling of haunted buildings and supposed brothels, he held Divina’s rapt attention. When speaking of ill-fated lovers, Aric pulled Divina close offering gentle squeezes of reassurance. Each time she all but melted in his arms.

  Entering New Orleans City Park, Divina couldn’t help but get wrapped up in the romantic scenery while they walked past a sea of wildflowers. An enchanting oasis amid the urban development of New Orleans, couldn’t have been a more perfect setting for the tail end of their lunch date. Divina marveled at the massive oak trees, whose branches webbed together making a canopy for her and Aric to walk through.

  Pausing while walking across a stone bridge, Divina peered over the edge as some ducks swam beneath the bridge. Taking a deep breath, appreciating the reprieve from the craziness of the last two days, she wished time could stand still.

  Exploring every inch of the park was a much more preferred option than dealing with a prophecy she had been dragged into. Pausing the day with Aric, just the two of them, enjoying an endless moment in a beautiful setting spurred a longing for him like Divina had never experienced.

  Aric approached from behind her taking her out of her whimsical thoughts. The heat of his body against her back gave her goosebumps. His arms came around her sides, effectively caging her against the stone railing. A piney scent, that she assumed to be his cologne, wrapped around her along with his body. With closed eyes, Divina inhaled deeply to fully revel in it. Despite having been held similarly on two occasions, previously by two vampires, Divina didn’t bristle at the closeness. There was no fear, no prickle of wrongness; with Aric, it felt delightful and right.

  Stubble grazed her shoulder in a tickle as he lowered his chin to nuzzle into the crook of her neck. Shivers ran through her from the sensation. The warmth from his body, the feel of his hard muscled arms around her, and his smell enveloping her left Divina dizzy with desire.

  Slowly, Divina turned her back to the water but remained in his arms. Hazel eyes peered down at her with the hunger of a starving man. Aric slouched so that his mouth came down on hers. With his finger crooked under her chin, she tilted her head upward and welcomed his kiss.

  Silken soft lips, surrounded by the coarse nubs of his five o’clock shadow, pressed against Divina’s lips. Gently, yet enticingly, his tongue swiped along her bottom lip, prompting her to open for him. Aric tilted his head deepening the tender kiss. Callused hands rested on her hips, and she looped her arms around his shoulders.

  As he pulled her closer, Divina’s soft body pressed against Aric’s hardened wall of a chest. Welcoming the closer embrace, she wrapped her arms tighter around his shoulders. Divina’s heart pounded rapidly as the kiss grew in passion.

  The pressure of his mouth against hers stole her breath. His tongue speared into her mouth seeking to dance with hers. She couldn’t tell if the moaning from the kiss came from her or him.

  Little pinpoints of pain mixed with pleasure, as Aric’s fingers dug into the flesh of Divina’s hips. Rolling them toward him in response, Divina lifted up onto her toes. Teeth scrapped along her bottom lip, as Aric nibbled into their kiss, causing Divina to groan.

  The heat from their joined bodies cascaded down Divina as a wave of pleasure-seeking need pooled in her sex. Tingles radiated up from her pussy through her body, and she returned his kissing nibbles with her own. Each swipe of his tongue and grip on her hips fed the desire for him, which left her needy for just that bit more.

  The rough stone of the bridge wall scratched her back as Aric pushed her against it. Pinned between the wall of sex god, Aric, and the literal stone wall of the bridge had Divina swooning into the kiss. She half believed that if he were to step back, she’d crumble into a puddle of wanton lust.

  Running her hands over the back of his neck, she entangled her fingers in his hair. A rumbled growl came from him sending a jolt of arousal through her entire body fueling her greedy need for more of him.

  Sliding his arms around her waist, Aric’s rough hands each gripped a globe of her ass. Kneading her butt sent a flurry through Divina’s core. She broke the kiss gasping for breath.

  Before she could make eye contact, Aric trailed his lips down her jaw and ran his tongue down her neck. Shuddering, she tugged at his hair again while the warmth of his breath, and tongue, tickled her skin causing goosebumps.

  Divina fisted his hair as she threw her head back.

  Aric’s teeth grazed her shoulder, and Divina hissed loudly.

  “I thought you—” She paused licking her lip when he sucked on her neck. “—weren’t....” Formulating words was hard under his attentions.

  Disctracting her with erotic nips, he didn’t give her pain so much as pressure hinting toward it. Feeling like a single giant exposed nerve, her body thrummed from the senstions.

  He growled loudly and took her face in his hands. With his forehead rested against hers, she could finally meet his eyes. Gone was the soft hazel color she had seen most of the afternoon. In their place, blazing golden irises, filled with hedonistic passion.

  It should have scared her. She told herself to be scared.

  She wasn’t.

  Instead, the desire to have him, to devour him in kisses and feel him buried inside her overwhelmed her. Slipping her hands from his neck, down his sides, she gripped his hips. Crushing her mouth against his, she tugged him hard against her as wanton lust consumed her thoughts.

  “I’m not,” he breathlessly assured her in between kisses.

  Vampires. Vampires, her care for vampires vanished, no longer mattering, when he continued to claim her mouth. His kisses grew hungry and needy. Alternative between rubbing and groping, Aric’s hands roved over Divina’s ass. He ground his stiff erection against her hip and, once again, Divina lifted up onto her toes, moaning into their kiss.

  Divina’s sex burned with need for him. Butterflies swarmed her belly fluttering about. The sensation traveled through her, settling into her core. Barely able to contain her desire to strip him down on the bridge and beg him to take her, she broke their kiss and gasped for breath.

  “Can we go somewhere?” she asked while panting.

  Short of breath himself, with his chest heaving Aric’s golden eyes scanned her face.

  “Yes,” he agreed and kissed her one more time.

  Even the brief, chaste kiss had Divina’s toes curling. She wasn’t sure how much more she could take, or how much longer she could wait before she exploded. The man did things to her she hadn’t imagined possible.

  Chapter 30

  Aric’s wolf howled loudly. The animal within him pushed to claim Divina. Tightening every muscle in his body, he fought to restrain the animal within. Not out in the open. He needed privacy for such an intimate act.

  The suggestion to go somewhere, the idea of getting her alone, eased Aric’s tension. The two of them were on the same page.

  Thankfully, his pack’s land was not far from the park. Taking her hand, he led her in a jog toward to his truck. Though the distance was short, it felt like an eternity when done with a raging erection and a howling wolf in his head.

  Arriving at the truck, Aric couldn’t control it. He gripped Divina, pushed her against the cab and claimed her mouth once more. The curves of her soft body begged to be explored, and Aric’s hands were up to the task.

  Divina’s lips tasted like strawberries. Her earthy scent coiled around Aric causing his steely erection to strain for release. Sure it would burst from his jeans at any second, Aric ground himself against her once more.

&nbs
p; He needed his mate. Controlling the desire to have her tested every fiber of his being. If he didn’t rein it in, he’d take her in the bed of his truck.

  Slipping his hands under her linen shirt, he sought to explore her body without barriers. Disdain for her clothing preventing him from having full access to his mate, tempted him to tear it from her, to expose her to him. His wolf urged him to do just that, to reveal her natural form to them.

  They were in public; he couldn’t strip her. Doubting she’d want to bare all to the park, he restrained himself. Plus, he’d lose his shit if another male even looked at her naked.

  “I need you,” he rumbled as he yanked open the truck door.

  Divina’s hungry blue eyes swept over him, and she nodded. “Me too,” she agreed breathlessly.

  Inside the car, he had to touch her again, to taste her again. Reaching for her, he pressed her back on the bench seat, settling his larger body over hers. Without a fight, without hesitation, she yielded to him and allowed him to cover her.

  Divina pulled her leg up and curled it over his hip. Gods his female was tempting. If he didn’t know any better, he swore her hips rolled against him as he caught her earlobe between his teeth.

  She gasped.

  He smiled and flicked his tongue before pulling back. Too little space, he needed room to fully enjoy his mate.

  The two were able to catch their breaths on the short drive to Aric’s trailer. Once there, he all but ran around the front of his truck to pull her door open. With his hands on her hips, he lifted her out of the cab.

  She laughed, and it was the most wonderful sound he had ever heard.

  Throwing her over his shoulder, he gave her a hearty spank to the ass.

  Wide eyed, Aric froze in place. Tangled in her earthy scent was another that had his wolf in a frenzy. Her sex, so close to his nose, brought the aroma of her need for him close enough to smell. The thick musky scent invaded his awareness, overwhelming him.

  Aric’s cock pulsed in his jeans, and the zipper painfully scraped against his erection. With her need for him filling his nostrils, Aric clenched his teeth to the point he thought they’d crack. Kicking open his unlocked door, with disregard for the potential damage, Aric carried her toward his bedroom. His confidence in his own ability to hold back from taking her waned with each inhale of her scent.

  Tossing her to the mattress, Divina bounced down laughing. When her legs fell open when she landed, Aric’s mouth watered. He nestled himself between them reaching for the button of her jeans.

  Tickling his belly, Divina’s hands went to the hem of his shirt and yanked it over his head. The cool air on his hot skin sent a chill down his spine.

  Not wanting to be the only one missing clothing, Aric tugged down her jeans. Simple turquoise cotton panties covered her. Lips curling in an appreciative smile, Aric drank in the image of his panty-clad mate. His hands jerked when the pants hit a snag.

  Apparently, he had forgotten that shoes were a thing.

  Laughter erupted from the two of them, while Aric desperately fought to untangle her feet from her jeans. With a few simple kicks, Divina freed her legs, and her shoes fell from her feet, followed by her jeans.

  Electricity shot through his fingers, quickening the beat of his heart, as he trailed his hands up the smooth skin of her legs. The jolt of touching his mate in an intimate way had the beast within Aric howling in anticipation.

  “You are absolutely marvelous.” An unrecognizable gravelly voice came from Aric.

  The blush ran through her body, starting in her chest and flourishing at her cheeks. If possible, the intensity of his need for her kicked up another notch.

  “You’re pretty impressive yourself,” she retorted, and her teeth pressed into her swollen bottom lip.

  Delicate hands reached for him and pulled him down to her. Once settled with his body over hers, she snaked her hands upward and tugged fistfuls of hair at the base of his neck. Prickles of pleasure danced across his scalp.

  Groaning, he pushed her shirt up and tugged her bra cups down. Taking a moment, he marveled at the rounded, tanned flesh of her breasts propped up by the underwire. Lowering his head, Aric mouthed one her breasts. Palming the other, he teased her until her nipples tightened into hard nubs. Plucking one between his fingers, he grazed his teeth along the other until she hissed.

  Her body squirmed beneath him and her hips thrust up against his. The pressure from her and his jeans against his erection elicited a painful grunt. They needed to be removed before his cock was too damaged to be useful.

  “Gods!” she cried.

  Divina’s erratic breathing turned into moans. Minor pains trickled down his back and her nails scraped either side of his spine. Sucking her nipple into his mouth, he pulled back until it snapped and she groaned, bucking up against him again. He smirked before his focus switched to the other breast.

  “I want to touch you.” Laced with decadent desire, her voice mesmerized him.

  Each time Aric’s teeth, tongue, or fingers made contact with the tight buds on her breasts, Divina twitched under him. Each movement from her sent a surge of need to his dick. If he wasn’t careful, he would explode in his jeans. He wanted her. His wolf needed her.

  Two hands on the thin fabric covering her hips, Aric slid her panties down with a good yank. Urgently, Divina kicked out of them. The uninhibited scent of arousal wafted toward Aric like a slap in the face.

  Crashing down on her, Aric covered her mouth with claiming kisses. He nipped at her demanding she yield to him, submit to his will. Drunk on her sexual scent, his wolf wanted to send a message that this female was his.

  Aric only broke the kiss so that he could drop his own pants.

  “Wait!” she gasped.

  Stopping every movement, Aric froze in place. He regarded her with wide eyes. The idea he had read the situation wrong, that she might not be a willing sexual partner, had him stuck. He’d never taken a female unwillingly, and he wouldn’t start with his mate.

  The musk from the apex of her thighs told him her body wanted him. Remaining statue still, his painfully stiff erection bobbing between them, he wouldn’t proceed without her permission, despite his feral urges.

  “Condom,” she rasped.

  Her hungry eyes roved his body, locking on his erection. Her pink tongue slid along her bruised lower lip and Aric winced.

  Aric tilted his head. Condoms? Did he have condoms? He reached for the drawer of his nightstand.

  Aha!

  A quick bite of his teeth, the wrapper ripped, and he proudly displayed a disc of protection. It took him a full second to roll the blue latex condom down his stiff erection.

  The break in action did nothing to deflate his cock. Pausing, with a blue pole protruding from his pelvis, he awaited her approval.

  She reached for him.

  He smiled.

  Resuming his position between her legs, he shuddered as their bare skin touched. Tingles traveled through every inch of his body, curling his toes, as he felt almost her entire form pressed to his. Nothing was between them save the blue latex.

  Resting the bulbous end of his cock at her entrance, he held his breath realizing nothing stood between him and marking her, claiming her, taking her as his own. After he entered her, she’d be his. They’d be mates. There’d be no going back.

  The heat coming from their joined skin had Aric’s forehead beading with sweat. Using the swollen mushroomed end of his dick, he teased her opening. With her wetness, his cock easily slid between her sensitive folds but he pulled back before entering her.

  The slight clench of her sex begged Aric to plunge into her. As if to confirm it, another shot of musky need traveled to his nose, causing his resolve to tease her to melt away.

  Thrusting forward, Aric’s cock pressed inside his mate. Her vice-like walls spasmed around his erection the further it went in. Pulling back, he studied her face.

  Large ice blue eyes stared back at him filled with heat and need. With
flushed cheeks, her mouth hung open and she murmured for him to keep going.

  He drove deeper into her and stars appeared before his eyes. An animalistic cry came from him and his wolf as the walls of her pussy stretched around him.

  Once again, she pulled up her leg and curled it over his hip. Changing his angle of entry, his cock bottomed out with a deep thrust.

  Divina screamed and threw back her head. With her neck exposed to him, Aric buried his face into it, nipping at her throat. Pain striped his back when her nails once more clawed down it.

  Aric gave her a few slow deep thrusts to get used to him. Her pussy rippled around him assuring him that she was made for him. No pussy had felt as good as hers. She was his mate.

  On another inward drive, Aric claimed her mouth again. Divina’s internal and external quiver spurred him on. Sliding his tongue past her lips he found hers. All the while he sped up his movements and pistoned in and out.

  Divina’s whimpered moans stoked Aric’s fire. The way she writhed beneath him coaxed him to go harder and faster. Each twitch of her leg muscles was a pulse of her pussy around his cock. Gritting his teeth, he held back.

  Not yet. He wanted to savor the first time he and his mate joined. He showered her face with tender kisses.

  Slowly, he dragged his cock back and forth, sliding within her, teasing her. He needed to catch his breath before he exploded. Though, it seemed his mate was not the patient kind.

  Digging her nails into his back, the pain shot straight to his balls.

  “More,” she begged and it was all he could do not to release right then.

  Pumping harder, her sex spasmed around him again. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he pulled back, studying his mate’s impassioned face through the tangled stands of his hair.
