I give him a small playful glare, and he nods back, relaxing his hips underneath me.

“Good boy.” I reward him with a swivel of my hips and another squeeze of my breast as his cock twitches inside my swollen pussy.

I slowly roll my hips back and forth on top of him, his grunts and groans spurring me on. I reach for his other hand on my hip, wanting full control.

I pull his hand toward my lips, and while still rolling my hips, I place one of his fingers in my mouth and then two. Imagining them as his dick, I begin licking up and down, savoring the taste.

I take them fully into my mouth and twirl my tongue, caressing every inch of his fingers. I give them a gentle bite before pulling them out fully. His cock twitches inside me as his eyes grow darker, biting his lip so hard it begins to bleed.

I place his hand back on my breast, shifting slightly as he grunts below me, positioning myself just right before I pull myself fully up, only his tip still remaining inside me.

I force myself down on top of his dick, my pussy throbbing with the delicious stretch. Driving up and down, I quicken my pace, my eyes never leaving his heated gaze. I ride him harder, our breathing ragged and wild as we reach our peaks together.

Jace becomes restless below me. “Rhys, please…”

I nod, giving him my approval, before he bucks into me. I meet every hard thrust with my own as we hasten our pace, both fighting for the building climax that promises us ecstasy.

He moves his hands from my breasts down to my hips, gripping them with a bruising tenacity.

That’ll leave some finger marks, alright.

I clench around him one final time with my own climax, my back bowing with the force of it, as he spills himself inside me again. Slumping on top of his chest, my heart still racing, I feel spent and entirely sated.

We lay beside each other, his arms wrapped around me, waiting for our breathing to calm down.

With one hand, he languidly rubs gentle circles onto my back, encasing me in his warmth and scent. A calm and comfortable feeling grows in my chest as I lay and listen to the sound of our racing hearts. A satisfied and content feeling I've never felt before spreading throughout me.

When have I ever felt this relaxed, this comfortable…this happy?

A slight tugging in my chest pulls my attention, a warm prickle spreading from the growing thread there. It glows, the light becoming brighter as the strand grows stronger and larger. The warm prickle begins to spread throughout me, from my chest to every inch of my body…the soft feeling turning into an all-consuming warmth.

It pulls my breath from me as a chuckle falls from the chest below me. A laugh filled with so much joy, I feel it in my own body, a smile stretching at my cheeks, with the overwhelming joy filling me. So this was the mate bond.
