Free Embracing the Wolf by Felicity Heaton

again, he jerked to a halt. His erection throbbed
inside her, spilling his warm seed. Pure bliss ran through her
veins, hazy and intoxicating, and then suddenly disappeared,
leaving her cold and aching. Her hunger wasn’t satisfied. It wanted
more.

    Her eyes widened when Amon
removed himself from her, laid her on her back and moved to lie
over her. He was hard again, ready to continue their mating until
they had both found release in their coupling.

    Amon entered her harder
this time but his movements were slower and deeper. Kat closed her
eyes and wrapped her legs around him, her body tensing. She loved
how deep he was within her, relished the way his body moved against
hers, and the feel of his warm breath against her cheek.

    Holding onto his upper
arms, she marvelled at his strength with each rock of his hips
against hers. Each deep stroke added to the maddening sensation of
pleasure, taking her further and further out of her mind. Their hot
sweat-slicked skin stuck together. Their heavy breathing punctuated
the silence.

    She moaned and looked up
at him. He stared into her eyes, his own golden. The needful,
tender look in his eyes stole her breath. It touched her deeply,
until both parts of her moved as one, her wolf joining with her
under his loving gaze. She let herself go, knowing the mating
needed them both to be as one with their nature.

    Amon snarled at her, sharp
teeth sending a thrill through her. A sudden desire to have him
lose control tore through her but it didn’t frighten her. She
trusted him implicitly. She wanted him to take her with all the
possession she could see in his eyes.

    As if sensing her desire,
Amon drove forwards, thrusting deeper and faster. He pressed his
palms against hers, pinning her arms to the bed and locking fingers
with her, clutching her hands so hard that it hurt. It was as
though he didn’t want to let her go. Or did he fear that she would
bolt again?

    She would never leave him
again.

    Her fingers curled around,
locking tight with his. His eyes widened and then narrowed as a
flicker of pure hunger sparked in their fiery depths. There was
something else there too. Relief. Happiness.

    She smiled, craned her
neck and kissed him.

    He moaned into her
mouth.

    His hips rocked against
hers and she shuddered with her release, wave after wave of
tingling pleasure crashing over her and making her tremble. Amon
reared up and howled out his own climax. He collapsed on top of
her, panting hard into her neck, their bodies still
entwined.

    Closing her eyes, Kat
smiled as she stroked lazy circles on his sweat-dampened
back.

    Hazy bliss suffused her,
making her light and warm. Her smile widened and she sighed as she
turned her face and buried it in Amon’s hair. She had never felt so
relaxed and happy.

    Amon kissed her shoulder
and the world drifted away as she lay entangled in his
arms.

    When Kat next opened her
eyes, she realised that both of them had fallen asleep. She was
cold, shivering without anything covering her besides Amon. He woke
when she moved beneath him and mumbled something before rolling off
her. She gave him a grateful smile when he dragged the covers over
them.

    Amon lay on his back and
pulled her close to him. She settled against his side, one knee
hooked over his legs and one hand pressing into his chest. Her head
rested on his shoulder and she looked up at his profile. Was it
over? She felt different. Warmth filled her while she studied his
profile, drinking her fill of the sight of him. She’d missed him so
much. As pleasant as it was to lie in his arms, she didn’t want to
waste time sleeping.

    “ Amon?” she
whispered.

    “ Hmm?” he
breathed on a contented exhale.

    “ Are you
okay?”

    His eyes opened. They were
deep brown and warm as they looked at her. He stroked the hair from
her face and brushed his fingers across her lower lip, a soft
caress that made her breath hitch in her throat.

    “ Better than
ever,” he said with a wide affectionate
