His jaw clenched. One hand fisted in the sheets, the other stroked gently over my shoulder, like he needed to be sure of me—like he couldn’t quite believe I was really here with him, doing this.
I dipped my head and ran my tongue slowly up his length. He groaned—raw and needy—and his thighs trembled faintly under my touch. I licked him again, circling the swollen head once more with a slow, teasing stroke before I took him in my mouth.
I loved his flavor—salty and slightly bitter and just a little sweet. His warm spicy scent filled my senses. My lips stretched around him as I took more of his cock, my hand following the wet trail my mouth left behind. He was too big to take fully, but I didn’t need to. I let my tongue do the work—swirling and teasing, learning the spots that made his hips jerk, and his breath catch—as I stroked his rigid length with my hand.
Above me, Shadow growled again—deep and low and dangerous, except none of that danger was aimed at me. It was all wrapped in restraint, in the desire to protect me. His claws dragged through the sheets as he fought to stay still, giving me control to do what I wanted to him.
And God, that made me want him even more. I felt so powerful sucking him—making a huge monster groan and growl as I teased him. It was a heady sensation and it made me wet.
“You taste so good,” I whispered when I came up for air, still pumping him with my hand while I kissed the tip again. “Love tasting you, Shadow.”
His broad chest was rising and falling rapidly and he was watching me with an almost drugged look in his golden eyes, which were half-lidded with lust.
“I’m close, Danni,” he growled hoarsely. “If you don’t stop—”
His voice broke off as I took him again, hollowing my cheeks, sucking slow and deep.
He tried to pull away—just a little—but I held him firmly, letting him know I wanted it—all of it—every pulse of pleasure he could give me.
“Please,” he groaned, one hand coming to cradle my cheek. Not guiding…not forcing—just touching, like he had to feel me to anchor himself. “I’m going to come if you don’t stop!” he warned.
His warning only made me want him more. I worked him harder, faster, my hand and mouth in the same rhythm, until his breath turned ragged and his big, muscular body trembled.
“Gods, little witch—your mouth is so sweet on my cock,” he groaned. “Love to feel your hot little tongue licking me…love to feel you sucking me so deep…”
Then he came—hot and thick, with a shudder that rippled through his entire massive frame. Spurt after spurt of hot cream hit the back of my throat as he gave me everything I’d been asking for.
I swallowed as best I could, letting him ride it out, letting him know I could take him… that I wanted to take him and make him feel good.
When my monster finally sagged back into the pillows, boneless and stunned, I licked my lips and crawled up beside him, resting my head on his chest. God, I was never going to get tired of feeling his velvety fur against my bare skin. It was so sensuous—it made my whole body feel alive.
Shadow wrapped both arms around me and pulled me close, his claws tracing lazy circles along my spine.
“You didn’t have to do that,” he murmured into my hair, his deep voice raw with emotion. “I’ve never… Danni, no one’s ever done anything like that for me.”
I smiled, utterly satisfied.
“Well, you deserve it,” I whispered, kissing his shoulder. “All that pleasure you gave me last night, I wanted to give you something in return.”
“You gave me everything just by letting me touch you,” he rumbled, pressing a kiss to my temple. “And I want to give it all back to you again. A thousand times over.”
I closed my eyes, letting myself melt against his warmth…his scent…his steady heartbeat. I felt like I belonged there—wrapped in his arms, floating on the edge between sleep and pleasure.
For the first time in years, I felt treasured.
And I never wanted that feeling to end.

SHADOW
Her head lay nestled against my chest, the warm scent of her hair curling around me like a spell. Sweet…soft…and utterly real. For so years had I dreamed of holding her and now I finally was.
I held her gently, not wanting to break the fragile wonder of the moment, not daring to believe she had just touched me—claimed me—with her mouth and hands like I was something she wanted.
I had never known pleasure like that. Never been touched like that…tasted, devoured, worshipped.
My throat tightened.
No one had ever wanted me the way Danni did—not in the dark. Not in the light. Not in any of the in-between shadows where I usually lived.
