Mate Set Read online

  His gaze lowered down his own body and then he softly growled. “Are you happy to see how much I want you?”

  Mika lifted her hips as she lay back on the bed, shoving her pants down. Grady gripped the bottom of them and tugged before she could free herself of them. He grabbed her ankles, making her gasp as he dragged her ass to the edge of the bed, and then sank to his knees on the floor.

  “I am happy,” she admitted.

  “If you ever try to leave me I’ll chain you to a bed,” he warned. “You’re mine, Mika.”

  “Not yet. You haven’t bitten me.”

  “I heard once that if a male bites his mate often enough, that it can create a strong bond like a werewolf mate set has.”

  Mika sat up, gripping his shoulders, and pulled him down on top of her as her legs lifted to wrap around his hips, holding him there. “I love it when you bite me. Just don’t leave me this time or tear up this room. It’s the last damn bed I own and I’m not going to sleep on the floor.” She smiled to soften her words.

  A twinkle sparkled in Grady’s eyes, which were turning black in color. He shifted his hips and Mika moaned as his hard shaft rubbed against her clit where she was spread open to him. Grady softly growled, rocking his hips slowly against her.

  “I will never leave you again, babe. You’re so wet for me already.”

  She stared into his eyes. “I always want you, Grady.”

  “You got me.” He shifted his hips a little more and then slowly pushed forward.

  A loud moan tore from Mika as he penetrated her pussy, stretching her and filling her. Nerve endings burst to life sending ecstasy straight to her brain. Her hands clutched his shoulders, her nails biting into his skin, and Grady groaned.

  “I want to take you fast and hard. We’ll do slow and leisurely later.”

  “Bite me.” She was sure she wanted to be his mate.

  Grady stared into her eyes as he started to move with deep, strong thrusts of his hips. Mika threw back her head, breaking eye contact with him, and moaned his name. Grady lowered his chest against hers, pinning her tightly, and his mouth brushed her shoulder. Hot breath fanned her skin and then sharp teeth bit down hard, pain and pleasure merging as Grady drove her over the edge, a climax making her scream out his name. Grady tensed on her and then he exploded inside her, coming hard enough that she could feel every twitch and all his warmth filling her.

  His hips stilled as he kept her pinned, his teeth locked into her, and his tongue licking her skin, held between his canines. It didn’t hurt as much as Mika feared but then he’d waited right until she was on the edge to do it. Even now, in the aftermath of mind-blowing sex, she was feeling too good to let the slight, uncomfortable pinch on the top of her shoulder bother her.

  Grady gently eased his teeth from her and slid his tongue across the marks he’d left there. Mika grinned.

  “You distracted me pretty damn good.”

  He chuckled. “Good because I’m going to do it again in about five damn minutes when you catch your breath. I’m making sure we’re a mate set this time.”

  Her hands slid to his back, hugging him to her chest. “You get to tell Uncle Omar but make sure he doesn’t get near your nuts. I enjoy playing with those and want you to keep them since you mentioned kids.”

  Grady chuckled, his tongue swiping her skin again where he’d bitten her. “I think we should stay here, hiding out from him, and let my dad tell him. He has to take orders from his pack leader and Dad will just order him to be fine with me taking you for my mate.”

  She laughed. “Good plan.”

  Epilogue

  Four months later

  Mika grinned and shut off the water in the sink. She glanced down and turned around to run across the kitchen to the open archway into the living room. Grady strode into the house and turned to face her just as she launched herself at him. He caught her in his arms and lifted her as she wrapped her arms and legs around his body.

  “I missed you.”

  His hands slid down to her ass. “I love thongs.” His hands caressed her bare skin under her T-shirt. “I missed you too.”

  He walked a few feet to the couch and set her down on the edge, keeping one arm around her and reached to the front of his jeans to unzip them. She leaned closer to him, lifting her chin to reach his throat, and bit him where his T-shirt ended and the curve of his neck began. Her teeth didn’t break skin but she nipped him hard. Her tongue darted out to soothe the bite.

  Grady growled. “It’s like that, huh?”

  “It’s the hormones you share when you bite me. I can’t stand spending hours away from you. I ache to have you touching me and I need you. You’ve turned me into a damn sex fiend.”

  “It’s the addiction. You need me as much as I need you.” He shoved his jeans down.

  Mika gripped the bottom of his T-shirt, tearing it up his abdomen as she leaned back a little to make room between their bodies. She hooked her legs around the back of his thighs so when he released her back she didn’t fall over on the unsteady perch. She shoved his shirt all the way over his head and just tossed it away.

  Her gaze ran over his broad chest and she moved in, lowering her face, thinking he was the sexiest man alive. She licked one of his nipples and moaned when his hands gripped the inside of her thighs, shoving them farther apart. His fingers slid down the front of her thong, gripped it, and with a jerk, it tore away.

  “Have I destroyed all of them yet? How many do you own still? When we moved your stuff here were most of those damn boxes filled with hundreds of the damn things?”

  She laughed. “You destroy them and I buy new ones. I can’t go around without panties all the time.”

  “Yes you can.” He softly growled at her. “They just get in my damn way.”

  She rubbed against him, frantic with need. “Fuck me now. Please? We’ll negotiate what I wear and don’t wear later. Right now just take me. Damn shifter-mate hormones. If this is how horny you are all the time I don’t know how you survive this without going nuts. If it were up to me, I’d chain you to our bed. Maybe we should back off on the biting so I don’t attack you every time you walk in the door. I can’t get enough of you.”

  He smiled. “You won’t be saying that come summer when I go back into heat.”

  “I look forward to it. I’m so damn horny all the time. Oh God. I won’t survive when you pull eight-hour shifts now that the bond formed. I’ll have to come down to the bar and drag you upstairs to your office. Maybe you should kick your brother out of your old apartment so we can use the bed there.”

  “I’m the boss,” he went for her neck, licking and biting at her sensitive skin. “I don’t have to go in. We can lock the doors and I can run the bar from home since Anton is there now.”

  “You’re the best,” she moaned. “Now quit talking and move.”

  He wiggled his ass side to side. “I’m moving.”

  Mika gripped his face and stared into his eyes. “If you don’t fuck me right now, Grady Harris, I’m going to hurt you.”

  He chuckled but adjusted his hips, pressing his cock right against where she was aching. He drove into her pussy with one powerful movement, the pleasure instant and intense. Mika threw back her head, shut her eyes, and cried out his name. Grady growled and gripped her hips tighter as he withdrew and drove in again. Their bodies moved together until Mika’s vaginal walls started to clamp around his cock, drawing louder moans from both of them. She screamed out his name as pleasure exploded through her. Grady groaned as his hips jerked, filling her with his release.

  “Babe,” he kissed her. When the kiss ended he pulled back. “Look at me.”

  Mika loved to stare into his eyes, something she could do for hours. His eyes were dark, a little too narrow now to be totally human, but that didn’t frighten her anymore. This was Grady, her mate, the half human, half wolf who made her happier than she’d ever been in her life.

  “I love you.”

  She grinned. “I never ge
