“Imagine how good it’s going to feel down there.”
    “Shut up,” she said, pulling her hands over her face again. “So embarrassing.”
    “I told you,” he said in a firm voice, pulling her hands away again and pinning them against her sides. “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about here.”
    He waited until she nodded at him, slowly calming. Then he leaned forward and took her lips, kissing her deeply, sweeping inside. He threw all caution away and completely claimed her mouth, working her into a heated frenzy with his tongue.
    When he pulled back, they were both flushed. “One day I’m going to claim you, Carrie Miller. One day I’m going to give you everything. But since I can tell you’re still afraid, you still don’t fully trust me, right now, I’m only going to fulfill one of your fantasies.”
    As long as they didn’t have unprotected sex, she wouldn’t be claimed as his mate. And he couldn’t claim her until he told her about and showed her his animal. It was the rule of the shifter world when mating with a human.
    And Cage intended to mate with this human.
    But first, he’d show her a taste of what their life could be like.
    “What do you—”
    But she didn’t have time to finish her question before he reached down and pulled her shirt off over her head. Then he fumbled with the back of her bra, a triumphant grin on his face as he found the catch and released it.
    “Cage,” she said. “Hurry up.”
    He smirked. “One sec. This is my first time seeing you. I gotta savor it.” He put his hands over her chest, cupping her breasts as the bra fell away. They barely fit into his hands, the nipples rising proudly from between his fingers. Carrie blushed and turned away as he leaned forward, unable to stop himself from kissing one and then the other. They felt soft and incredible in his hands, and her nipples were hard and beautiful in his mouth.
    “Oh, Carrie,” he said. “I could do this to you forever.”
    She put a hand to her mouth and bit down on it lightly. “Dammit. Dammit, why does it feel so good?” She shook her head. “It’s better than I imagined.”
    “It’s about to be,” he said.
    “What do you mean?” she asked.
    He simply gave her a one-sided grin and flicked open the button of her jeans.

    C arrie’s heart pounded as she looked down at Cage, dark hair covering his face as he slowly pulled down the zipper of her jeans and then eased them over her hips and off her legs.
    “Cage, wait…” She didn’t even know what she was waiting for; she just knew she felt her heart would explode if this went on any longer.
    He looked up at her, his sapphire eyes burning, his expression curious as he tilted his head.
    His face was so handsome. All sharp angles and smooth skin. Those dark lashes and brows, those full lips.
    From his expression, she could tell, despite having her mostly naked, his hand touching the top of her panties, he really would stop right now if she asked him to.
    But she didn’t want to. A part of her wanted to stay true to herself and not get too involved with Cage as long as he was a member of the Aces.
    Another part of her would take him any way she could get him.
    That part of her had spent so many nights alone, using her vibrator and dreaming of him doing things to her.
    Things between her and Cage weren’t perfect, but so far, he’d been there for her every time she needed him. He’d been there to rescue her when Harvey came, and he’d promised, despite being in the Aces, he wasn’t going to do anything bad.
    His lips twisted slightly, his eyes serious. His irises looked like water at the deepest part of the ocean, vivid and dark, his black lashes contrasting the blue just beneath them. “Carrie, if you don’t want this, you have to tell me.”
    She shook her head. “No. I want this. I want this more than you’ll ever know.” She bit her lip and took a deep breath. “But, Cage, if I trust you like this, don’t hurt me.”
    His face
