Right where I wanted to bite and leave my mark on her.
The spike of pain sent me hurtling right along with her. My balls tightened, and I shot my load… fuck, I did. Nice and deep, and my wolf and I were truly and fully sated for the first time. Ever.
“Oh, wow. That was… that was good.” Her voice finally penetrated my haze of pleasure.
“Just good?” I nibbled along the side of her neck.
She let out a breathy laugh. “Don’t tell me a stud like you with all the moves needs his ego stroked after sex?”
A stud with all the moves. With any other female, I’d take that as a compliment, tip my hat and leave.
But Clio wasn’t any other woman. She was my mate.
I shook my head. “No ma’am. Just looking for clues on how to improve. For next time.” I undulated my hips, keeping her impaled on my cock. I could be hard again in three minutes. Maybe two.
Her nails scored the back of my neck as she gasped. I loved the way her muscles squeezed around my dick in an orgasm aftershock. “Who said there’s going to be a next time?” Her blue eyes, bright with excitement, held a note of challenge in them. Like she was still buzzed from the sex, rather than relaxed. Like she enjoyed this game we were playing.
“You’re gonna keep making me work for it, huh?” I licked a long line from her collarbone to her ear.
She rolled her hips, taking me deeper. “No. I just…this was a one off.”
I froze.
A one off.
A one off?
Fuck that. No way.
I lifted my head, so my eyes held hers.
“Sparks, I promise I can give it to you way better than this. You deserve more than a quick fuck up against the wall. Come home with me. Spend the night. Hell, spend the rest of our lives.”
“What?” She laughed, but she was pushing me away.
Setting my hands on her hips, I bent my knees, so I slid out of her, then lowered her to her feet. I was already hard again, but I had to tackle the fucking condom. I slid it off, tied off the end and dropped it to the ground for me to deal with later.
“Wow. An orgasm totally scrambled your brain.”
I smoothed her skirt down and picked her panties up off the ground. “What do you mean?”
“Did you forget I have a kid? I can’t go home with you. Or spend the night. Edna and Ernie go to bed early, so I’ve got to go pick him up soon.”
Shit. Of course. I should’ve thought of that. I was going to have to get used to thinking like a parent. The pup came first–always.
“You don’t really strike me as the forever type, Tarzan.” She held out her hand for her panties, but I shook my head and shoved them into my pocket. She sure as hell wasn’t getting them back.
She rolled her eyes, but an indulgent smile curved her lips.
My wolf was not happy. She was turning us down. Couldn’t she see that it was my job to pleasure her every day for the rest of her life? This wasn’t a one-off.
But she thought it was.
I ran a hand over the back of my neck.
“Right. You think I’m a player.”
“You’re obviously a player.”
“I was. Past tense.”
“You are. You pulled me from a dinner date with another man to have sex behind the restaurant.”
I glanced around. Yeah, so? If the dinner date was a fucking dud, and you were my mate, then exactly.
“And you loved it.”
“It was hot, for sure. I appreciate you getting me out of a dry spell. But this isn’t a thing.” She pointed back and forth between us. “We’re not a thing.”
I stared at her.
Fuck! She couldn’t walk away from us.
From this.
From me.
I knew humans didn’t register the “fated mate” thing in their bodies the way we did–they couldn’t recognize their mates by smell, but she had to feel something for me. She had to.
On some level, her body knew she belonged to me.
I stepped in close and settled my hands on her waist. “Let’s make another deal.”

CLIO
* * *
Damn, Sam was hot. That sex had been the hottest I’d ever had.
Five-alarm fire kind of heat.
So good, I already wanted more, even with a sore pussy.
Our chemistry was even better than what I had with Ted, and Ted had been an animal in the sheets. That had been a lot of his appeal. And also, I had to be honest–the whole cocky alpha male thing turned me on. They both had that in common.
“What kind of deal did you have in mind?” My voice sounded husky. Every cell in my body was activated. Electrified. I hadn’t felt this alive in years. Because a deal had rules. Expectations. I could keep this thing with Sam in check.
