As the last of my anxiety washes away, I become aware of a warm, nuzzling pressure on my hip. I pull the blanket up to look, and my mouth pops in surprise to find Fenryr curled around my lower half, nuzzling his cheek against the glowing bond mark on my hip.

A low chuckle rumbles in his chest, and I have no doubt he senses my gaze on him. Never breaking contact, Fenryr straightens out, keeping one hand on my stomach as he positions himself at my side.

“Hello, pup. Sleep well?” Fenryr’s hushed tone pours over my skin like warmed honey, sending a pleasurable shiver down my spine as all my fine muscles tighten and twinge in anticipation. The heat running through my veins travels to my face, flushing my cheeks and filling my head with a rhythmic whooshing. His clawed hand slides over my abdomen, tearing through my bodysuit and exposing my lower stomach to the cool morning air.

“Fenryr?” I whisper, turning my head to the side to find a pair of hooded emerald eyes staring hungrily into mine. “You’re awake.”

Fenryr’s lips pull back into a smile, his canines lengthening past his bottom lip as he shreds through the rest of the fabric, exposing me fully. “I’m starving.”

I swallow hard, my eyes widening as he shreds through the remnants of my clothing, careful not to nick my skin with his razor-sharp claws. Something thick and hard presses into my hip, and I gaze downward, my eyes widening in shock to find Fenryr’s bare cock pressing against me. It’s equal in size and girth to my other mates, but unlike theirs, Fenryr’s base is adorned with two swollen, bulblike structures. A knot.

“Fenryr…”

“Mm-hmm?” The absentminded noise rumbles in his chest as he lowers his head to my neck, raking the pointed tips of his canines against my pulse point. My breath quickens as he bites down, pinching the skin but not quite breaking it, and my body reacts with a rush of pleasure that spreads through my veins like wildfire. I lose all sensibility as the bond ignites, filling me with a hunger that only my mate can satiate.

“Please, Fenryr,” I whisper. “I need you.”

With a possessive growl, Fenryr rolls me to my side, pressing his abdomen flush against my back as he yanks the remaining fabric from my body. His hips jerk, brushing the head of his swollen cock against my ass as his palm slides over the curve of my hip. With a groan, Fenryr pushes the head of his cock past that tight ring of muscle, drawing a gasp from my parted lips as a shock of pain floods my system. My body tenses, fighting to accommodate the sheer size of Fenryr’s cock as he pushes it deeper and deeper inside.
