desire—the embodiment of sex—and he wanted to enjoy everything she had to offer. “You,” she whispered.
His nostrils flared. The scent filled his lungs. Ruby wanted him. She gazed at him, her eyes soft and dreamy. “Please,” she gasped. The soft plea filled his ears. Each syllable rang as if sweet music. His breathing sped up. Sweat beaded his chest. His balls ached with a need so great he feared he’d never be able to give her what she needed.
“Oh, I want you to make the burning stop!” she wailed.
He was the one on fire. “Yes,” he muttered as he leaned over her body. Sol fought back the desire to plunge within her heedlessly. This was the most important moment of his life. He knew it. This would define his future. He didn’t want to screw it up. Ruby mattered too much to him. When he gazed into her warm golden-brown eyes, his destiny stretched out in infinite possibilities, and all of them delivered him right here between her beautiful and shapely legs.
He cradled the back of her head in his hands. Only a slight trace of the tiger remained in her face. Even though she wasn’t telepathic, he experienced an echo of her reaction. Her thoughts came to him, as if she were a radio on a low frequency. The message was there, but static obscured bits of what she was trying to tell him. She fought hard to hold on to her humanity.
Sol’s soul cracked, and he knew Ruby filled a place deep in his heart. He hadn’t experienced the emptiness in its entirety until she warmed him. He held her head gently and gazed into her face so he could memorize the way she appeared at this very moment. He wanted to make sure he never forgot the most precious minutes of his life.
“And now we become one,” he said as his cock found her ready entrance. She gasped with surprise as he slipped thrust into her. He wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but she didn’t cry or scream, instead she stilled and held her breath. “Breathe for me, Ruby,” he whispered as he nuzzled her neck. She took a deep gulp of air, and he thrust. He entered Ruby once and then again before an overpowering urge to mark her consumed him, and his teeth lengthened painfully in his mouth. She closed her eyes. He ignored the sensation. His eyes focused on the woman and nothing else, and then he bit her shoulder.
Ruby snarled, and he ignored the tiger’s anger as he ingested her life force. He bound them together for all time. The warm sense of joy didn’t last long. Realizing what he’d done, he stared grimly at Isser. There was sadness radiating from his blood brother. He’d claimed her as his and only his. He remained joined with her. She murmured, and her hips bucked.
“Bring her joy,” Isser ordered him quietly. The pain in the other wolf’s eyes cut Sol to the quick. He should have resisted the urge, but nature demanded he mark her. He’d done it, and there was no changing how he’d stolen her from his brother.
His cock remained buried deeply in her warmth. She bucked again, and he gasped with the pleasure of her heat. “Fuck yes!” Forgetting his guilt, he began sliding in her pussy again. She responded to him perfectly.
Chapter Four
A kaleidoscope of color exploded behind Ruby’s eyelids as Sol bit her. Her tiger wanted to fight, yet the beast in Ruby instinctively understood the call to join as strongly as she did. The pain from his bite quickly became pleasure, and she lay still under him, waiting. Her body responded to him without her conscious decision. She rocked against him, sliding him deeper. She opened her eyes, and for a moment they just gazed at each other. Then she threw back her head, panting. The beautiful friction brought her over the edge. Her tiny wails of joy echoed in the shuttle. When she came, she came just for him. His expression was filled with wonder. Ruby squeezed her eyes closed and just let her body become mindless sensation. Every single stroke of his cock brought a fresh spasm of pleasure through her
