“Is that a promise?”
Keira laughed and Grant grabbed her shirt in his hands, tearing it off her body in a single jerk.
Before he could do the same to her bra, she unclasped it and threw it on the floor. That’s better. Her breasts spread on her chest, huge and round and glorious. Grant leaned in, lavishing attention on first one and then the other. Licking and teasing one nipple with his tongue as he tweaked the other between his fingers. God, he could dive between her breasts and get lost for hours.
He wanted her to see stars. Her belly quivered as he slid lower, kissing a path straight to her jeans. One tug of his hand and the button popped free. He unzipped and tugged them down, revealing a scrap of white lace that had already soaked through. Damn. His dick throbbed in his pants as he looped his thumbs beneath her panties and pulled them down.
Nestling between her legs, Grant nudged her open with his hips. She trembled as he spread her open. Yes. He ran his hands up and down her open thighs, working her up until she thrashed on the bed. She needed him.
As Keira let out a moan, Grant slipped his fingers through her swollen folds. So wet and ready. He pulled his hand away and brought his fingers to his mouth, licking her juices off with controlled, steady swipes of his tongue.
As eyed him like an animal in heat, all feral and wild. He wanted to take her places she’d never been.
Keira let out a little cry of impatience and it only made him bolder. Harder. Grant shrugged out of his shirt and kicked his jeans onto the floor. His cock stood tall between his legs, ready to thrust inside her., but he wanted Keira desperate for it and as hungry as he felt on the inside.
He spread her swollen lips, sliding through her slick heat to find her clit, plump and begging for his touch. He circled the tiny nub with his thumb, round and round until she whimpered.
“Grant. I can’t…I need…” She trailed off as he worked her harder, rubbing her clit faster and faster with his thumb.
Keira fell back on the bed, thrashing and moaning as he stroked her, and he smiled. He could do this all night. With two fingers, he thrust inside her and coaxed her orgasm to life. She arched beneath him, crying out as the tremors ripped through her.
As she climaxed, shuddering beneath him, he pulled his fingers out and positioned his cock at her entrance. In a single thrust, he buried himself inside her, the walls of her core clamping around him as the last of her orgasm pulsed and throbbed.
Keira gasped as he filled her, stretching her open and plowing deep.
She’d never been so dominated in bed before. He’d controlled her every moan and cry with just his fingers. But his cock? Heaven. She angled her hips and he inched deeper, drawing a moan from deep inside.
He nestled between her thighs, pushing her legs wider as his weight rested on her hips. She wrapped her arms around him and he bent to kiss her, claiming her lips like he’d claimed her sex.
Slow and deep, he pressed his body against her and she sighed in satisfaction. The heft and strength of him above her, inside her, all over her. It was everything she’d needed and never had.
She broke their kiss and smiled as she met his heated stare. “Don’t be shy. I want you to fuck me, Grant. Like I know you want to. I want it, too.”
He groaned above her and slid out, toying with her entrance before he slammed himself home. Oh! Yes! He thrust again, ramming her body into the mattress and sending her higher.
She bucked against him, adding her own movements to his and he picked up speed, holding himself up on his elbows as he pumped again and again. Keira clawed at his back, ran her hands up and down the straining muscles, and egged him on with every thrust. She wanted him to unravel, lose himself inside her and come screaming.
Grabbing his ass, she kneaded his firm muscles, reveling in the flex of his body as he filled her over and over. He bent down and took her nipple, drawing it into his mouth and sucking until she cried out from a mix of pleasure and pain.
How had she ever doubted this?
Grant kissed away her thoughts, stealing her breath as he pressed her harder into the mattress. Oh my God. As Grant broke their kiss, he moved lower, planting kisses across her cheek and down her neck to her exposed collarbone.
Grant grinned before kissing her lips. “All I want is to make you happy. Protect you. Love you. I’ll spend the rest of my life doing just that.”
“I like the sound of that.” Keira raised up and kissed him again. It was part whirlwind, part dream, but she didn’t care. Everything about Grant was right.
“I love you, Grant Wilcox.”
He paused and looked down into her eyes. “I love you, too, Keira.”
Before she could say another word, Grant grabbed her by the shoulders and flipped them both over. Keira laid across his chest, his shaft still hard inside her.
“I want to watch you, honey. Ride me until you come.”
She blinked. Keira had never had the courage to do that with anyone. Her body? On display like that? But Grant wasn’t just another guy. He’d shown her a secret part of himself. He’d saved her life, more than once. He’d mated her and made them one. Forever. She bit her lip and half-smiled. For him, she’d do anything.
Keira pulled herself upright, straddling his thighs and planting her hands on his chest. With a gentle flick of her hips, she rocked above him, grinding her clit against his firm body and sending a bolt of pleasure straight to her core.
She closed her eyes and groaned, overcome by another orgasm stirring inside her. As she picked up speed, Grant ran his hands up her sides, massaging her breasts and squeezing her nipples. She moaned and worked herself up and down, harder and harder as he thrust up into her from below.
The mattress squeaked—e-o-e-o—in time with their sex. It turned her on even more and she rode him like a damn animal, slamming into him, meeting his hips on every thrust. Sweat beaded across her forehead and dripped down between her breasts. Her ass ached with fatigue, but she couldn’t stop. Not until they both came screaming.
With a roar, Grant strained beneath her and went still, his cock hardening inside her. With her mate coming inside her, Keira’s own orgasm rumbled through her, a wave of thunder spreading out from her core to her limbs, all the way to her fingers and toes.
Her whole world spun, flashes of light and explosions of color ricocheting inside her head as joy tumbled through her. She was still flying, dizzy and discombobulated, when Grant lifted her up and laid her beside him.
After a few minutes, Grant kissed her cheek. “Thank you, Keira.”
“Mmm. For what?”
“For coming into my life. Showing up here when I’d just about given up on finding my mate. Turning everything in my life upside down.”
“You’re welcome. You’ve done the same for me, you know.” She rolled onto her side and smiled. “I’d given up on men. Pushed dating and relationships and sex all out of my mind. Focused on work. And then there you were. As soon as I saw you lumbering down to the water, I knew we had a connection. Something different. Special.”
Grant kissed her on the nose. “Tell me you’ll stay here in Alaska with me. Tell me I get to wake up every morning to your beautiful face and kiss you every night.”
Keira nodded. “I’ll stay. I’ve got a new job here. I can make new friends. I don’t have anything keeping me in Seattle. Nothing like you.”
Grant pulled her close and she nestled into his firm chest. There were a million things to talk about. Learn. Decide. But they could wait. Right now, there was nothing else she’d rather do but fall asleep in Grant’s arms.
Epilogue
Six Months Later
“You’re sure you have everything?”
“Mmm-hmm. Packs and the cooler are already in the back. Your gear’s right there by the door.”
“Great.” Keira laced up her hiking boots and flashed Grant a smile. It had been a crazy few months. First, she’d sold her place in Seattle and packed up and moved to Pinetree. Then she’d told her friends and family she’d found
The One. Every time she said it, she broke out into giddy laughter. It all seemed so unreal.
But Grant was way more than real. Solid and powerful and so full of love she didn’t know where he kept it all. Transitioning to nature photography had been a snap. With Grant’s experience as a trooper, Keira had taken the best photos of her life. And she had years to get better with him by her side.
“You sure you want to stay a week this time? I know you’re busy with the wedding details.”
“I’m sure. Everything’s coming along great. And it’s the start of fall. You know what that means.”
“Salmon runs.”
Keira grinned. “Yep. And some awesome pictures just waiting to be taken.” She stood up and walked over to the new-found love of her life. “I know just the trooper to help me make them happen.”
Grant chuckled and wrapped her up in his arms. She reached up and pulled him down for a kiss, swiping her tongue across his until he let out a low growl. “Be careful. You turn me on too much and I won’t let you walk out the door.”
She glanced at her watch and shrugged. “We are ahead of schedule.”
Grant didn’t need a further invitation. He picked her up by the waist and spun her around before heading straight for the master bedroom.
“Hang on gorgeous, and make sure you have that camera ready. I’ve got some new ideas for you…”
