Mate Set Read online

  “I can kiss it better.”

  She grinned. “You didn’t use a condom. You’d taste yourself.”

  “I don’t give a damn.” He reached for her knee. “I crave the taste and scent of us together.”

  Mika stretched back on the bed, her gaze meeting his, as Grady shifted his body between her thighs. She spread wider for him. He slowly took in her body stretched out under him. Another growl came from his throat. He kissed her shoulder and then started to brush kisses down her body. He spent a lot of time at her breasts. His mouth was hot and wet. He teased her nipples into hard nubs. His mouth kissed lower, over her rib cage. By the time he pushed her thighs wide and fit his shoulders between them, Mika was hurting with need.

  “I wish you were totally shaved,” he rasped. “Would you do that for me? I think you’d enjoy my tongue tracing over bare skin here.” He rubbed his jaw against the soft, short hair of her mons. “Now I’m going to lick you within an inch of your life.”

  “Just make me come. I need to. Fuck me.”

  He growled and his mouth lowered to bury his face between her thighs. Hot breath touched her and then his tongue.

  “Grady!” She moaned as he found her clit.

  Mika clawed the bed. The man had the most amazing mouth ever. He sucked on her and licked her sensitive skin. Grady knew exactly what spot made her go crazy with pleasure. She moaned, arching her back to keep her hips still, and thrashed her head.

  She came screaming his name. Grady growled, licked her one last time, and then he rose up. Mika opened her eyes and stared at Grady as he fit his body over hers.

  He is beautiful, she thought. His hair was long and wild looking. His black eyes were burning with passion. His mouth was slightly swollen from what he’d been doing to her. She saw sharp teeth between his parted lips. His body was tan and muscular. She watched those muscles move under his skin as he positioned himself over her.

  Her attention moved down to his flat stomach and to the protruding, hard flesh he was about to thrust into her. His cock was large, hard, and red with need. Her gaze lifted to meet his. He was watching her.

  “Take me, Grady. Please.”

  Mika cried out in ecstasy as Grady slowly entered her. She felt swollen there from his rough treatment from before. Swollen and hot and really wet. He pushed into her deep and let his large body settle down on her. He braced his forearms next to her and froze when his cock was buried to the hilt inside her body. He shifted to take both of her hands in his, one at a time. His arms braced his weight but his fingers were laced with hers, up by her head. Their gazes locked just as Grady started to move on her.

  “Am I hurting you?”

  “No,” she moaned. Her legs lifted and she wrapped them high around his waist to give him more room to move so her knees were at his ribs. Her heels rested on his ass. “Don’t stop.”

  “I couldn’t if I wanted to,” he rasped. “You’re burning me up, Mika. You’re so damn sexy and you feel so damn good.” He started to slowly pump into her. In. Out.

  Grady shifted his hips to change the angle of his cock inside her. A loud moan tore from Mika’s mouth.

  “You like that?”

  “Yes. God, yes, Grady.”

  “You respond to me the way no other woman ever has,” he rasped. “You fit me so damn perfectly. You are so damn hot. You ready?”

  She wasn’t sure what he was asking her if she was ready for. Did it really matter what he was asking? She didn’t think so. Whatever he wanted, at that moment, she wanted to give him. She nodded.

  He moved faster on her, doing a motion with his hips that made his shaft rub her clit as he drove downward. Mika had to close her eyes. She moaned, moving her hips frantically against him. The man was too damn good at this. He kept moving on her, making her feel, building her frantic need to come until she exploded. She gasped and then panted his name.

  Grady’s response was to growl and drive into her a little faster and harder as her muscles twitched inside. Mika heard the snarl that came from his lips as he shot his release inside her. She looked at him then, needing to see his face.

  Grady’s eyes were closed and she was stunned to see his mouth wasn’t quite human anymore. His lips and jaw were pushed out too much. Sharp teeth were showing, gleaming white. His nose even looked a little wider than normal. He let his head fall into the crook of her neck, hiding his face from her. Without giving it any thought she turned her head and gave him full access to her neck if he wanted to bite her. She almost wished he would so he’d be mated to her.

  His sharp teeth grazed her skin. She didn’t tense, though she had to fight the urge. She took a calming breath and forced herself to relax. Hot breath and teeth were pressed to the top of her shoulder, front and back, where his teeth gripped her.

  Grady growled before he tore his mouth away. He turned his head from her neck and let his cheek rest there instead. They were both breathing heavily, their hands still laced together. Grady was still buried deep inside her and he wasn’t moving away this time.

  Their breathing returned to normal. They lay there together for long minutes recovering from the hot and heavy sex. He smiled. He still didn’t break his hold on her fingers laced with his or withdraw from her body.

  “We need a bath,” he finally said softly and lifted his head. “What do you say? Does a bath sound good? I’ll wash you. We’ll order a couple pizzas so by the time we get out they should be here. I noticed you have cable. We could watch something together.”

  Mika smiled at him. “That sounds fun.”

  He grinned. “It does. I’m not really one for going out. I kind of like sticking home with fast food and something good on television. We’ll have an in-home date night.”

  He was making an effort to get to know her. Mika saw it for what it was. He was moving their relationship from just sex to a little more and she’d happily take it. He released her fingers, easing his hands away and lifted up more from her chest. Mika couldn’t stop herself. She reached up and caressed his cheek. An emotion she couldn’t read crossed his features as he hesitated, letting her touch him.

  “Thank you,” she said softly.

  “For what?”

  “For making this more than just sex. It— I appreciate it.”

  His eyes searched hers. “You’re more than that.”

  She wished that were true. “So, what kind of stuff do you want on your pizza? I’ll order them if you start the tub.”

  He chuckled. “Stuff you won’t like. That’s why I’m suggesting we get two.” He climbed off the bed and held out his hand to help her up. “Get up, woman. I’m hungry.”

  Chapter Eight

  Mika was so fucked. She knew that as she laughed. Grady was making her too happy and she knew how bad that was for her in the long run. He was making her breakfast when she found him in the kitchen after waking up in bed alone. It was as sweet as hell. Grady grinned back at her.

  “What is so damn funny?”

  She glanced at the mess. “You’re so banned from making breakfast ever again. You single-handedly destroyed my kitchen and how the hell did you get chocolate on your chest?” She walked up to him and studied the chocolate syrup on his bare chest to make sure it was what it appeared to be. It was.

  “For chocolate pancakes.”

  She laughed as she glanced at the stove. Dark, flat lumps were stacked on a plate and she guessed those were the chocolate pancakes. “I didn’t know werewolves loved chocolate that much. How much did you use?”

  He grinned. “I love chocolate. I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed. Did I make too much noise?”

  She shook her head. “I rolled over and you weren’t there. That woke me up. Then I smelled coffee and your pancakes. This is so damn sweet of you, Grady. You didn’t have to make me breakfast.”

  “I figured it was the least I could do. You’ve kept up with my sex drive.” He winked. “How are you feeling? Sore?”

  She was but she shook her head. “I’m
