“Take your time, Mina.”
    She chuckled and caressed his abs, running her nails over his chest with the lightest touch. “I have waited a long time, Robar. Now is as good as any other time and better than most.”
    Mina flexed her hips, gaining a little more of him. Her body was adjusting to his intrusion, but she could only get him in so far before he wasn’t going any further.
    His eyes locked with hers. “Take your time, Mina.”
    It was a mantra he was whispering to her over and over.
    She squirmed in place and felt a sharp ache inside. “This isn’t going to work.”
    “It will; just rub your clit and follow your instincts.”
    It was beyond embarrassing to follow his direction, but as she used her middle finger to circle her clit, the urge to have him all the way inside her became overpowering. Her breath sighed in and out of her throat as her climax roared up on her.
    In a sudden move, Robar arched under her, and she shrieked as her release rode a wave of pain into ripples of pleasure. A second surge caught her by surprise, and power roared out of her and into Robar.
    Dimly, she heard the snapping of metal, and Robar’s arms came around her as he flipped her to her back.
    She stared up at him as he slowly started to thrust into her. At first, her body registered the friction as pain, but as he continued, pleasure slowly crept into the mix.
    He kissed her with the same deliberate attention as his body moved within hers.
    Mina returned the kiss and locked her arms around his neck while her legs gripped his hips. She held tight and rocked with him until his motions took on a frenzy that tumbled her along for the ride.
    He threaded one hand in her hair and savaged her mouth with his, growling into her mouth while his hips jerked against hers.
    A low wave of pulses ran through her channel and sent heat out into her body in low ripples that showed no signs of stopping. She moaned into his mouth, and he held them tightly together as he rolled to his back once again.
    Mina was plastered flat against him and copper scented the air. Her sex throbbed and it wasn’t simply in memory of pleasure. “Excuse me.” She tried to push away from him, but he tightened his hold on her.
    “Wait a moment.”
    Mina scowled. “I need to clean up.”
    He laughed. “The side effect of making love. There is usually some sort of residue to attend to.”
    “Blood?”
    “Occasionally, especially on the first occasion.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead.
    What he had said sunk in. “Making love?”
    “My kind mates for life once we find our match. You are my match.” He stroked her hair and pressed a kiss to her cheek.
    Her eyes widened in shock. “You can’t be serious!”
    He looked offended. “Why not?”
    “You are…and I am…and you need…I am not your type. I saw those other women at the bar, and I am not in their league.” She frowned.
    “Those women and I had relationships in the human world. We are not compatible when our inner beasts collide. Your ocelot and my fox get along fine.” He grinned and pressed another kiss to her forehead.
    She had to admit that he had a point. “Fine. I can chase that fluffy tail of yours around indefinitely.”
    He grinned. “And I will even let you catch it on occasion. Is it really my tail you are after?”
    “Well, your tail and you smell like berries.”
    “That is because you spilled them on me that first night and today I was eating blueberries.”
    Mina blushed. “Oh.”
    Sweat was cooling on her body, and she shivered. It was that small motion that made Robar release her.
    He slipped out of her and stroked her spine slowly. “Go and take a hot shower. If you like, I will wash your back for you.”
    She sat up and took a quick look around. Her body was painted with stripes from rolling back and forth in her own blood. “Oh my whiskers.”
    She bolted out of bed and headed for the bathroom. She heard motion behind her, and she was barely under the hot spray before he
