His Purrfect Mate (Mating Heat Book 2) Read online

  “I don’t have much experience at this.”

  He brushed her hair back over her shoulder. “Open up and take me. You couldn’t do it wrong. I’d enjoy anything you do to me.”

  Her lips parted and he leaned closer. She adjusted him until the crown of his cock hovered just over her bottom lip. Her tongue slipped out to swirl around the rim. A soft groan came from Anton. It encouraged her to grow bolder when she opened her mouth to make room for his thick size. She pressed forward, taking him inside, and sealed her lips around him.

  She remembered the basics though it had been years since she’d given a guy head. She hadn’t enjoyed it the few times she’d tried. Her ex-boyfriend had always choked her by grabbing the back of her head to try to make her take more than she could handle. Anton didn’t do that. He had her hair but he just held it out of the way. His hips didn’t thrust forward. He held very still.

  “Go slow,” he urged.

  She started to move around him, lightly sucking and licking at him. His cock seemed to grow stiffer and his breathing increased but he held still. She took more of him, feeling more secure that she could handle his girth. A taste filled her mouth, a wonderful masculine flavor, and she moaned, moving faster, wanting more. It surprised her and her body responded. Her nipples grew taut and she started to ache for sex. Wetness began to spread down her inner thighs.

  “Fuck,” Anton moaned. “Slow down, Shannon. I can’t come inside your mouth. I’m afraid I’d make you choke. We tend to ejaculate harder and longer while in heat.”

  She wanted to taste him enough to take that risk and ignored his warning. She moved faster, took him deeper, and sucked with gusto. Anton suddenly gripped her jaw, his hand tightening on her hair, and jerked back. His cock pulled free from her hungry mouth and she cried out. She stared at him with confusion.

  He fell to his knees in front of her, grabbed her around her waist, and lifted her easily to turn her around. “Bend and grab the edge of the sink now,” he snarled.

  Her hands clutched porcelain and she cried out when he entered her fast and hard from behind. His cock stretched her, sent rapture straight to her brain from the nerve endings he pressed against as he surged into her deeply, his hands steadying her hips.

  “Hang on tight,” he rasped.

  He pounded against her ass, fucking her furiously, and the sounds of their panting and skin slapping skin filled the small room. Shannon hung her head, pleasure swamping her, and her vaginal muscles tightened in anticipation of the climax that built. No one had ever made her feel the way Anton could.

  Anton’s hands moved. One released her hip to grip her shoulder while his other hand delved between her parted thighs. Two fingers pressed against her clit. He rubbed her while he fucked her. Shannon screamed when she started to come. The world exploded around her in ecstasy. A heavy body pressed against her back and teeth gripped her shoulder on the side he wasn’t holding. His teeth pinched her skin, sent more rapture throughout her body, and he snarled.

  His teeth pulled away and then he roared loud enough in her ear to deafen her while his body jerked violently. Inside, she could feel him filling her with his release. Each jerk of his hips spilled more of his cum inside her. The warm jets of his semen spread and it made her smile at the rightfulness of the sensation.

  “Fuck,” he groaned. “I nearly did it. We have to talk after we get back from my parents’.”

  She turned her head to stare into his beautiful eyes. “You were going to mate me, weren’t you? We didn’t use a condom.”

  He didn’t look away. Their faces nearly touched with him bent over her, their bodies still joined, and his fingers eased away from her throbbing clit. “Yes. I wanted to mate you, and I’m aware that we didn’t use one this time when we could have.”

  She didn’t know what to say. Disappointment that he hadn’t bitten her wasn’t something she wanted to share. Staying with Anton, despite the fact they didn’t know each other well, wouldn’t be a bad thing. She was falling in love with him. She kept that bit of news a secret as well, sure he would do the normal guy thing when he heard a woman say the “L word”―run.

  It’s just sex, she told herself. He made a commitment to me during mating heat. When it’s over, he’s going to want me gone. He’s a werewolf and I’m not. He’s the future alpha of his pack and I can’t forget that.

  “We need to shower again and then go.” He hesitated and then a look of regret crossed his features. “We’ll talk when we return.” He lifted up and carefully withdrew from her body.

  She hated it when their bodies were no longer connected. She loved feeling a part of Anton. She just loved him. He’d saved her from his pack, from a puma pride, and he always took care of her. In other words, he’d done more for her than any other guy ever had. He made her feel safe and protected. Special. Sexy. All the things she’d always longed to feel. He also knew she wasn’t fully human, accepted her despite it, and had given her amazing, mind-blowing sex. A lot of it too.

  Anton stood and held out his hands. “Come on.”

  She allowed him to pull her to her feet. He released her, turned the water back on, and stepped inside the shower. She hesitated. When we come back here, will he tell me that we could never work out, long term? Remind me that a cat and a wolf can never be anything more than temporary lovers? It hurt her to even consider those possibilities.

  “Come on in. The water is warm.” He smiled at her.

  Her heart melted even more. She stepped into the shower with him and allowed the water to flow over her body. In minutes they got out, dried off, and Anton lent her a pair of sweatpants and one of his oversized T-shirts.

  “It’s going to be fine,” he assured her, his dark gaze holding hers. “You know you’re safe with me, and I’ll never allow anyone to hurt you. I don’t know how many of our pack may be there but my mother will be for sure. She won’t get near you.”

  “Okay.” She believed him. “I know she hates me after the scene she made when she visited earlier. Is your father okay?”

  “We need to go. My father wasn’t hurt. My mother lied about that to lure me away from you. She’s the reason those pride males knew where to find you.” He grimaced. “She called them to come get you. It’s fine now. My father will handle this and make certain it never happens again. She’s in deep shit right now with everyone. I need to speak to him and he’s waiting for us.”

  She nodded, lifted her chin, and gave him a brave face. He led her out of the apartment, down the stairs, and they left the closed bar by the back door. They didn’t speak, though she had questions.

  The white van waited outside with his brothers and cousin. She refused to meet their gazes. It made her embarrassed that these men knew she and Anton had sex in the same van she climbed into again. She also wondered how Anton had gotten her from the van up to his apartment. Okay, she really didn’t want to know, for fear the answer would make her more uncomfortable, but she hoped he’d covered up her body somehow instead of carrying her naked in front of his family. Witnessing her tied naked to that log had been bad enough.

  Anton sat next to her and took her hand in his. She clung to him as the van started. Meeting his mother had been an unpleasant experience and now she would meet his father. Alphas were the most feared of all werewolves, known for their viciousness and brutality. They used fear and violence to keep their packs in line, according to what her father had told her mother.

  Guilt suddenly struck her. She hadn’t called her mother in days. She’d wanted to avoid lying. Stating the truth, that she currently lived with a werewolf, under his protection, would probably send her mother into heart failure.

  “What’s wrong?” Anton looked concerned. It made her smile that he seemed so attuned to her feelings that he noticed her distress.

  “I was just thinking about how my mother would freak out if she knew where I am and where I’m going. She’s feared me meeting other shifters all my life.”

  “It’s going to be fine,” Ra
