Darien pulled her close, leaned down, and kissed her the kiss of a lifetime. His mouth captured hers and devastated her senses. It was a kiss that said my woman forever.

He pulled back, turned them to face the crowd, then held their entwined hands in the air. The pack came to a stand and cheered. Vera whistled loudly, Sarina had tears in her eyes, and Alison was jumping up and down clapping. Cassie shook her head at them and smiled.

Darien bent down low and whispered huskily in her ear, “It’s time to run, lumara.”

“Why?” she whispered back. Was this part of the ceremony?

“Because when I catch you, I’m going to claim my mate. I’m going to make you come until you can’t come anymore. And then you’re going to sink your little fangs into my neck.”

Shaking, Cassie looked around at the pack and then the open expanse of field that led to the forest beyond. “Okay,” she said on a trembling breath. “Give me a head start.” If he didn’t, she’d never make it and he’d mount her in front of all these people. He nodded at her, and then the corner of his lip turned up. Not in a grin, or a smile, but in a lecherous, devious smile that had her panties going wet. His look devoured.

Cassie waved her thanks to the crowd then stopped by the Kategan women. “Would someone mind holding this for me?” She cast a quick glance back at Darien to see him looking ready to pounce. “And hurrrry,” she sang.

Grinning, Vera took the bonding tie thingy from her. “Okay, Darien and I will be back later...don’t wait up.” Then she lifted the bottom of her dress and took off running.

Thank God she was a vampire and could move fast because his feet started pounding on the ground after her, not even a second later, like he couldn’t help himself.

She broke through the tree line but he was on her, coming fast. Her heart was pounding loud in her ears. She stopped running. Spinning around she backed herself up against a tree. She fought to catch her breath as she watched him approach. After all, she didn’t want to run form this man.

He came at her like he did when he attacked Daniel...like a predator after prey. He stalked her, grabbed her face in his hands, and kissed her. His tongue thrust into her mouth and she moaned at his delicious male taste.

She felt the eagerness radiating from his. His hands traveled over her body, cupping and shaping her against him. She felt the cool air against her legs and realized he was lifting her dress.

She wrapped her arms around him, bracing herself by his shoulders as his fingers teased the outside of her panties.

Soft, needy gasps left her. He turned to kiss her cheek, then down to her neck. “You please me, mate.” His fingers parted the soft, wet material of her panties, and then he was petting her wet pussy folds. He growled against her throat, the action vibrating through her to her nipples and pussy.

“Darien,” she moaned.

His finger thrust through her lips to circle around and around her little bud. Her hips jerked against him, and he growled his approval. Then the touch was gone and his finger thrust up into her.

She cried out and struggled to get him deeper, bigger, anything. Her body was crying for him with mindless desperation. Her shaking hands fell down his chest to his waistband. She wasted no time in ripping his pants open and pulling out his cock.

He bit her again, in reprimand or something else, she didn’t know. She just knew what she needed. His finger thrust in and out of her, dragging along her flesh with its teasing touch, only making her want more. His other hand tugged at her bodice, and then her breasts spilled out.

He growled and took one hard nipple into his mouth to lick and suck on. “Oh yes,” she said. Her hand fisted his cock in a hard grip. She couldn’t stop herself, she started pumping her hand against his flesh. He was so hot, so hard. His mouth continued to work her breast, and then both hands were at her naked hips, lifting her dress up to her waist.

Cassie moaned and spread her legs, arching her hips forward. The head of his cock tickled the hair between her legs and she moaned. She went up on her tiptoes and caught him at just the right angle. He slid between her legs, bumping against her clit. His hips pumped then and each motion across her clit fueled her with ravenous passion.

Her hands clutched his cock, pumping him hard and fast. He was leaking furiously from the tip, his pre-cum wetting her hand. Finally, he tore his mouth away from her breast, grabbed her ass in his hands, and hefted her hips toward his. His cock thrust in on one hard dive.

They both cried out, and then he was taking her. He hammered into her with driving thrusts that bounced her against the tree and stretched and filled her pussy again and again

There was no building up to her orgasm, it was already here. She started coming loudly. She screamed her release to the whole forest, uncaring who or what heard her. He growled, his breathing hard and loud against her ear as he took her.

He bit into the muscle at her shoulder and neck one more time and then his hips pushed deep were jerking against hers as jets of semen surged inside her. She moaned and worked her hips against him, trying to keep him there forever, trying to prolong the delicious sensations.

A minute passed and their breathing quiet to gentle hums. Darien pulled back, and his eyes were smoldering with sexual heat. He pulled his still rock hard cock out of her.

“Get on the ground.” Cassie was shaking with anticipation. She wanted to come again and again with this man, on this night, and for the rest of her life. She got on the ground and then looked at him. “Take off the dress,” he said as he started ripping his off from his body. Cassie obeyed quickly and wiggled the dress off. She tossed it and her panties aside just as he was coming down over her.

He kissed her knee, then traveled up her inner thigh. When his lips first touched her sex, she tried to close her legs. When his wide, raspy tongue darted out and spread her wet lips open, she cried out. When he growled huskily and settled between her with darting flicks across her bud, she went rigid with pleasure, her hands shooting his hair.

“Darien!” He was brutal against her. “I’ve never— I’ve never—” she mumbled, and then blooming heat was building inside her. A fine trembling started in her pussy, spread to her thighs and then hips.

A sharp, hard release rocked through her, exploded inside her. She screamed as her hips jerked against his face. He dove back against her sex and licked until every last wave swept through her and she was left twitching and panting.

He crawled up her then looking every bit the cocky man. “If you still want to mate with me your way then you better do it now, because otherwise I’m going to fuck you and I won’t be able to stop.”

Cassie grew even warmer. Her cream was dripping from her thighs and yet she felt like she hadn’t even come once. Like everything before now had just been foreplay. She pulled his face close, then turned his head to the side. He rested his big sexy body on top of hers, and then she bit deep.

He sucked in a sharp breath and she drew his thick essence into her with deep, drugging pulls. His hands drew her thighs up over his arms, and then his cock found her wet channel and pushed inside. She nearly lost her bearing on his throat with the force of his thrust. But she wrapped her arms around him tight and drank.

He took her hard, his cock pounding into her wet pussy with hard, anxious thrusts. She moaned over his throat, and his cock swelled inside her. Yes, yes, she wanted to scream. Come inside me!

She took one long, last pull and then he slammed in deep and groaned. She felt his cum jetting inside her. It triggered her own response, and then a deep release exploded inside her. She tore her mouth away and screamed ‘till her throat was hoarse.
