he was able to undo her jeans and slide them down her body. Her panties, soaked with her heavenly scent, were the same pale green as her bra. He slipped from the bed so he could wrangle her jeans from her body, baring her short but shapely legs to his gaze , and then shed his own jeans.
    She arched a brow as he straightened. “You always go commando?”
    “Will you think I’m less sexy if I say that it’s because I need to do laundry?”
    She smiled widely and laughed. “You’re the sexiest guy I’ve ever met, and y ou’re letting me see you naked. There isn’t anything you could do right now that could take away from how I feel toward you.”
    For a moment, he forgot about his tight hold on his beasts because she looked so lovely and perfe ct. Her nipples were tight, her chest was heaving, and her legs were splayed open so that her scent was hitting him full force.
    His beasts rushed forward, and he couldn’t control their joined reaction. With a sharp growl, he turned her onto her stomach and pulled her halfway off the bed, sliding his hands down her thighs and roughly tugging her legs apart. She moaned loudly as he ripped her panties off and positioned his dick at her entrance. Pushing her upper body off the bed, she pressed back against him. T he wolf in him grasped her neck with his teeth to hold her in place.
    She went still, and for a brief moment he was able to see through the haze of lust and wrangle back some control. Then she reached back with one hand and clutched her fingers into his hair. “Just like that, Jair. Take me. Hold me. Don’t ever fucking let go.”
    His control snapped. Growling as his fangs elongated, he pierced her flesh, his hips flexing, driving into her. She felt so good that his eyes crossed. He pushed hard and fast into her, her sweet heat beckoning him to fill her fully, until their bodies touched and all he could do was growl. Lifting his fangs from her neck and seeing the mark that bound them as mates, he howled and roared, gripping her hips as he pulled from her pussy and sank back in.
    He willed himself to stop for a second, to remind his beasts that this was their mate and the last thing they wanted was to start off their future acting like a caveman and taking pleasure without giving it to her first.
    Easing from her, an act of willpower he wasn’t sure he’d be able to accomplish, he scooped her into his arms and climbed onto the bed, laying her on his pillow. She blinked pleasure-hazed eyes at him.
    “Why did you stop?” she asked as she gripped his shoulders.
    “Just detouring,” he replied, pressing his lips to hers. He teased her lips open with his tongue, drawing her closer as he willed his beasts to give her this time. They were moving fast; it was the nature of true mates to claim each other immediately, but that didn’t mean he should be an asshole. In the space of bare minutes, she had come to mean everything to him.
    She chased his tongue with her own, her fingertips exploring his shoulders and back as she moved against him. He wanted to do everything to her at once, and also do nothing but just enjoy the hell out of their kiss. Pulling away from her addictive mouth, he nibbled on her lower lip with a soft growl.
    Her eyes opened slowly . T hey were a beautiful brown, mixed with the sandy- gold of her beast. Between her parted lips he could see the tips of her delicate fangs. He wasn’t sure he’d ever seen anything more beautiful.
    He wanted to say something romantic, but he could hardly think past the incredible scent of her arousal. Moving his hand slowly down her stomach, he slipped his fingers between her thighs and touched the wet heat of her pussy. Her flesh was bare and slick with her arousal, and it took all of his effort not to just roll on top of her and take her. She pressed her hand to his and lifted her hips, allowing two of his fingers to slide into her. She groaned and pressed harder, and he rubbed her clit with his thumb as he gazed down
