Hayden pressed the head of his cock against her slit. Rocking his hips he pushed his cock into her a little way, and then a little further with every motion.

Little by little, inch by inch, he filled her slit until he was fully sheathed inside her. He stilled then, letting her get used to the feel of his cock inside her. Whatever Stafford wanted to believe, Hayden was well aware he had several inches advantage over the vampire. Stafford might be larger than most of the human men Hayden had chanced to see naked, but he still wasn’t a werewolf.

Looking past her shoulder, he saw Stafford watching her face. He seemed fascinated by her expression. A mirror. Next time they had sex, he would have to arrange for Jasmine to face a mirror, so he would be able to watch her expression too. Right then, he focused on the way her muscles clenched and unclenched around his shaft instead. Taking a deep breath, he ran his palms over her back and stayed as still as he could inside her.

Jasmine looked over her shoulder, as if confused by his stillness. She tried to move, pushing back against him, fidgeting within his grasp.

“Hush,” he told her, stroking her skin again.

He felt his shaft begin to swell slightly inside her, filling her further. He let his eyes drop closed as he savoured the hot, wetness surrounding his cock holding him tighter by the moment.

“Hayden?” She sounded nervous. Hayden blinked his eyes opened.

Stafford held her face still so he could stare into her eyes. “What’s wrong?” he asked, casting an accusing glare at Hayden.

Hayden made a soft hushing sound in the back of his throat. “Hush, it’s fine, Jas.”

“What going on?” Stafford said.

Hayden ignored him. “I feel good inside you, don’t I, Jas?”

Jasmine nodded, her muscles tightened around him. He rocked very slightly inside her, letting his expanding shaft rub against her inside, seeing if she had that little pleasure spot in the same place female werewolves did.

She gasped, a soft little pleasure filled sound, and he smiled down at her. “You’re safe,” he said. “I’ve got you, now, the bond will keep us together.”

She nodded again, moaning slightly as he caressed her hips.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Stafford demanded

Hayden continued to ignore him. He hadn’t interrupted the bloody bat when he was with Jas, Stafford should have the decency to follow his example. Jasmine purred her appreciation as he filled her just a little more snugly. His pre-cum leaked inside her-coaxing her muscles to contract around him and finally lock them together.

Hayden settled his hands on her waist and started to move inside her. The way they were joined still allowed for a little bit of movement-enough to bring pleasure to them both without actually allowing them to part completely. Every time he pulled back as if he would let his cock slip from her slit, her muscles tightened around him, milking a little more pleasure from his cock.

Her head dropped down until she practically rested against Stafford ’s body. Hayden guided her away from him. The vampire glared at him and held onto her until he seemed to realise Hayden was only trying to rearrange them so Jasmine could be more comfortable.

“That’s right, Jas, lie down,” Hayden coaxed her, guiding her to lie down on her side as he spooned behind her, still perfectly connected to her.

The ache inside him was easing now. Knowing he had his mate close and safe with him where she belonged, made the world seem a far less complicated and confusing place.

His mate.

The words were suddenly right there in his head. His mate. His alpha female. Hayden held her a little closer and smiled to himself. Jasmine was his. She might not realise that, he was well aware other species could be somewhat slow on the uptake when compared to werewolves, but that didn’t dampen down his smile at all.

She was his.

Hayden licked her neck and stroked her hair and then her body, running his hands over her curves and tugging at the cuffs whenever they got in the way. He felt clumsy and awkward after watching Stafford ’s delicate touch, but she arched against his hand and he could see the pleasure in her body as well as in her scent.

A glance past her and he saw Stafford was still frowning at them both. It had to be hard for him now, to realise he had picked the wrong place in the order, to realise another man was with the woman he had made love to. He didn’t want to share his lover, he didn’t want to let another man touch his alpha female, but when Stafford reached out and touched Jasmine’s cheek, Hayden forced himself to let him make contact with her.

He might be willing to admit he had a lot to learn about humans and vampires, but he knew how packs worked- Stafford probably hadn’t wanted to share Jas with him either, but he had. The laws of the pack made it quite clear. Even if she was to take her place as his alpha female in the future, she belonged to both of them right then. He had no right to stop Stafford touching her if Jasmine remained willing to accept his touch.

Just able to see her expression from that angle, Hayden saw her smile at the vampire.

“You’re…connected?” Stafford asked.

Hayden kissed her neck. For a man who seemed to think he knew all there was to know about both women and sex, he really was pretty clueless. “Of course,” he said against her neck.

“Does it hurt?” he asked Jasmine.

Jasmine shook her head. “It feels good,” she whispered.

Hayden smiled behind her, rocking his hips so he moved inside her. Her muscles clamped down around him and she purred her pleasure loud enough for the other man to hear.

Stafford frowned.

“Like the bite,” she added.

“What?” Stafford said.

Hayden hesitated-damn sure the joining shouldn’t feel like anyone was biting her.

“Just like the bite,” she whispered again. “It shouldn’t feel good, but God, it does!”

She pressed back against Hayden. He ran his free hand over her shoulder and then along her waist. He tried to think the way Stafford seemed to, but in simple truth, he knew he didn’t want to do anything more than stroke her body. There was no technique, no plan. He just liked touching her and feeling her skin under his hands.

He rocked a bit inside her again, letting pleasure run through them.

A chain rattled. The handcuff moved around Hayden’s wrist. Stafford moved closer to Jasmine and put his hand on her hip. Hayden looked across at him. He was watching their lover very intently, studying every moment of pleasure as it passed across her face.

Before long, Hayden couldn’t stop his movements inside her from quickening. He couldn’t hide how eagerly his hands moved against her skin, as he desperately tried to touch every part of her, all at once. Any idea of doing anything other than what came completely naturally to him faded away.

He put his hand on her hip to steady her as he rocked harder and faster inside her. His hand landed over Stafford ’s trapping the other man’s hand against her skin as he felt his pleasure peak one final time and he came inside her.

His jerky movements rubbed his cock against her pleasure spot, just as he knew it would and Jasmine came at the same moment he did, gasping for breath and pushing back against him until he fell still behind her.

Stafford reclaimed his hand from under Hayden’s palm and stroked her hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. He leaned in and brushed their lips together. Hayden, temporarily sleepy and sated, was still not at all willing to be left out. He nuzzled at her neck and turned her face to him, for his lips to be kissed too.

He snuggled into her, pulling her closer into his arms as she closed her eyes and rested her head against the pillow.

“You should sleep now, Jas,” he whispered.

“And you should give her some space,” Stafford told him.
