pulling Whitney against him, and licked at the wounds, the blood now dry. The saliva on his tongue covered the wounds and began to heal them before his eyes.
Satisfied with that, he sat back and thrust up into Whitney, who was clutching onto his shoulders as she fucked him, her head rolling back, eyes closed. She looked lovely when she was in the throes of passion. Simon could look at her all day like that.
One thing he forgot to tell her was that newly mated couples had an overpowering urge to have sex more than before. He would be able to see that look more now.
He was close. Very close. But Simon waited for Whitney. He wanted her to come first. And it didn't take long for Whitney to reach her peak.
She was screaming her orgasm when Simon sat up and sank his fangs into her neck where it met her shoulder. Whitney's body tensed but quickly relaxed and she came again, her pussy clamping down on his cock. That was enough for Simon to climax, thrusting deep inside her as his seed was released.
Whitney was moaning as Simon removed his fangs and licked away the blood. Unlike the marks on her arm, these ones were permanent. Everyone would be able to see them and know that she was his. His head pounding, he lay back, taking Whitney with him.
John had told him that the first time you have sex with your mate and you actually mate with them was the best sex ever. And he was right.
"How was that?" He panted.
"Delicious." Whitney grinned and rolled her hips. "You're very energetic now, aren't you?"
It was then that Simon realized his cock was hard again. And it had only been moments since he had come. He grinned and kissed Whitney's nose.
"Coming down from a high plus mating improves my stamina somewhat."
Whitney giggled. She nipped at his bottom lip with her teeth.
"I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this mating." She said against his mouth.
Simon growled and kissed her. He was going to enjoy it as well.

Preview Of ‘The Tiger’s Reluctant Mate (Hunky Shifters Book 2) By Ashley Hunter
Chapter One
The phone had barely finished its first ring when Julie Fowler scooped it up off the counter and answered it, not stopping for a moment as she got the coffee machine going.
"Hello?"
"Don't you ever answer professionally? I could've been the next big thing for you."
Julie laughed as she waited for the coffee cup to be filled.
"In the middle of Arkansas, I very much doubt it."
"Charming."
Julie grinned. It had been a long day and her smile had been getting a little strained after being run off her feet all day. But a phone call from her baby brother always guaranteed to bring the smile back.
She finished preparing the coffee and brought it to the counter. The owner of the beauty salon across the street passed across a ten-dollar note and Julie processed the money one-handed into the till, handing back the change. Then the middle-aged woman blew a kiss at the phone, mouthing 'for Charlie' before walking to a table by the window.
"Megan says hello, by the way." Julie chuckled.
"She is still blowing kisses?"
"Always."
"Hasn't anyone told her I'm young enough to be her son?"
"She likes to be in denial about her age." Julie saw that everything in the cafe had settled down and moved to the staff door at the back, going into the small kitchen that was looking in need of a clean. She leant against the stove. "Haven't you heard of a cougar?"
"Yes but not with that big an age gap."
Julie laughed.
"How are you doing?"
"Good. I did well in that test I was so worried about."
"Brilliant. So everything seems to have settled down?"
"Pretty much." Her brother hesitated. Julie knew the signs. He had something big he wanted to tell her.
"What? Come on, Charlie, what is it?"
Charlie sighed.
"I met a girl, Jules. Her name's Sharon. She's in her second year doing adult nursing. We've gone out for coffee a few times with friends and...I've asked her on a date to the cinema."
Julie's heart warmed. At
