“Beautiful,” he growled softly, the single word wrapping around me like a warm blanket.
I climbed onto the bed and moved toward him on hands and knees. The mattress dipped under our combined weight, though his was significantly more than mine—he was enormous, wild and powerful, and yet when I slid into the curve of his body, I felt no fear—only the warm comfort of being completely protected.
His arms came around me the moment I settled against him. He pulled me close to his chest, cradling me with a tenderness that made my heart ache. His scent surrounded me—cedar and fur and cinnamon. I buried my face in his chest and breathed it in.
I loved being so close to him while I was completely naked—the sensuous brush of his fur against my bare skin was delicious. The sheath between his legs pressed low against my belly—hot and thick and impossible to ignore. And I didn’t want to ignore it.
My breasts brushed his chest as I shifted, and I gasped softly at the friction. My nipples tightened instantly at the feel of his velvet-soft fur against them. Little shocks of sensation shot straight from my tight peaks to the place between my thighs. God, I was getting so hot again! Just like I had the night before.
Shadow rumbled deep in his chest—a low, pleased sound that vibrated through me as he rubbed his sheath against my belly.
“You feel that?” he asked, his claws dragging slowly down my spine, careful and precise. “You feel how much I want you, little witch?”
“Mm-hmm.” I arched into him, brushing against him again. “I want you to…only I think we should take it slow.” I didn’t want to rush into anything too quickly. No matter how good it felt, I had only remembered him the day before. Also, he was freaking huge not to mention he was a monster. A little caution seemed warranted, no matter how hot and ready I felt.
“Slow is fine. Tell me what you want, little witch,” he rumbled.
There was no teasing in his tone—only that same deep sincerity that made me feel truly seen. He really cared what I wanted.
I didn’t hesitate.
“I want to touch you,” I murmured, running my fingers down his furry chest, tracing the hard ridges of muscle that flexed under my touch. “I want to make you feel good…the way you made me feel good last night.” I looked up at him. “You didn’t ask for anything in return, and you made me come so hard I thought I might fly apart. Now I want to give something back. I want it to be your turn.”
His breath caught—just a little and his golden eyes flared bright.
“I’m all yours,” he said hoarsely. “If you want to take me, Danni, then take me.”
That was all the permission I needed.
I slid down his body, letting my lips trail across the silky fur of his abdomen. His muscles jumped beneath my mouth as I kissed my way lower. His breathing deepened, and I felt the tension growing in him—tight and controlled… but unraveling just for me.
When I reached the thick, furred sheath nestled between his thighs, I paused for only a second. His scent was stronger here—intoxicating and masculine. I pressed a soft kiss to the long, hard ridge, watching in fascination as the broad head of his cock began to emerge—hot and heavy, flushed a deep blue-gold against his darker fur.
He was beautiful…powerful…animalistic.
Mine.
“You’re so big,” I whispered, brushing my lips along the tip as it slid further out of his sheath. “And I want to taste every inch of you.”
His claws clenched the sheets beneath us. A hoarse growl slipped from his throat.
“Do what you want, little witch. I’m all yours.”
I smiled and licked my lips. It was time to repay some of the mind-bending pleasure he’d given me the night before.
And I was going to enjoy every minute of it.

DANNI
I wrapped my fingers around him—carefully at first, still learning his shape, his heat. He was thick and hard and heavier than I’d expected, each pulse against my palm a living heartbeat of desire. The skin of his shaft was satin-soft, flushed blue-gold at the tip and darker toward the base, where soft ridges curved along the underside. I explored them with my fingers, wondering what they’d feel like inside me.
Then I leaned forward and kissed him there—a slow, hot, sucking kiss to the head of his cock. I didn’t take it in my mouth—not quite—but I swirled the tip of my tongue around the broad crown, tasting the salty, delicious flavor of his precum.
Shadow sucked in a breath above me—sharp and surprised.
“Danni…” My name rumbled out of him like thunder. “You don’t have to—”
“I want to,” I said, looking up the length of his body, meeting his eyes. “Let me make you feel good.”
