Greatest Gift
Page 9
Her orgasm came fast and hard. One moment she was luxuriating in Jakob, and the next, she was screaming out her release. A second one followed the first when he bit her shoulder. She couldn’t comprehend what was happening, only that it was important. Then she may have blacked out. A little bit. Nothing major, but she was definitely disoriented to find Jakob leaning over her, stroking a hand down her hip.
“Hi,” she croaked out. Oh that was lovely. Clearing her throat, she didn’t protest when he pressed closer, and kissed her.
“Hi yourself. I was worried about you there for a minute. Then you started to mutter, mostly nonsense, but it eased my concerns that I’d hurt you. I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
Shaking her head, she wiggled around and winced. “Maybe my shoulder. Did you bite me?” she demanded.
“Yeah, about that.”
He looked mildly embarrassed, which had her curiosity kicking up. She slipped her arms around his neck, and drew him in closer, pressing a kiss to his jaw. “Tell me. If you don’t I’ll tickle you until you do.”
“Let’s not and never mention it again,” he muttered. Cheek rubbing to hers, he wrapped her up in his arms tight. “It was pure instinct. The bite creates a bond between us, making you mine forever.”
Her breath caught at the implications. Arching back until she could see his face, she blinked back tears. “Forever? You mean you’re mine for good?”
He gave her a cautious nod,.“Yes, ma’am. I know we likely should have talked about it first.”
The sound he made when she hauled him close to squeeze him to her was cute. Like a deranged, dysfunctional squeaky toy. Giving in to the urge, she began to pepper kisses to his face. “I love you, Jakob Nichols. I likely should be mad, smack you around even, but honestly, it’s the best damn gift ever.” Someone who was hers, and hers alone for the rest of time. A girl could end up with a big head over something like that.
Under her hands his shoulders relaxed. “I love you too, Holland Frost. I’m never letting you go. You are mine.”
Rubbing her nose to his, she smiled. “I like being yours, even more since it also makes you mine. God help the fool female that thinks to steal my man.”
“I doubt that will happen. I’ve heard rumors I’m high maintenance.”
“Who you?”
“I know, right? I have no idea what they are thinking saying such garbage.”
“Well, if you are hiding a high maintenance streak it doesn’t matter.” She breathed him in for a few minutes before wrinkling up her nose. “I need the bathroom. Go make coffee, and then I want my gifts.”
Jakob gave a snort, and nibbled on her jaw. “I want mine too. Meet you in the living room?”
“Deal.” Jumping up from the bed, she shot into the bathroom. She stopped when she caught sight of her reflection. Happiness. For the first time in way too long she looked and felt completely happy. Amazing how that happened when one opened their heart to another.
After cleaning up quickly, she threw on a robe, grabbed up his gifts and ran to find her man. It was going to be a great day. The first of many.
