animal drove the need to be near him home. She couldn’t deny they had crazy amounts of physical attraction. Her emotions spoke up at that moment, filling her with new hope for more. She wasn’t going to lie to herself. She’d hoped to one day find a mate and fall in love, but hadn’t expected it would be Brett. And she definitely didn’t understand the crazy need she felt for him, or the joy at being in his arms. This was new and uncharted territory.
“You’re mine,” she said to him.
He brought his face down to hers, meshing their lips together in another smoking kiss that heated her down to her toes. He broke their kiss and pulled her closer, lifting her legs to curl around his waist and rubbing his erection between her thighs. Oh, that felt so damn good.
“I’m yours, babe. Today, tomorrow, for as long as you want me.”

Bone-deep satisfaction filled her heart suddenly. Joy grew wings in her chest in the blink of an eye. So quickly it caught her by surprise. She hadn’t realized how much it meant to hear him tell her that. They were from a world where males did the claiming. He hadn’t fought her words. He’d agreed. She knew then that she wanted to be his. “I’ll be yours too.”
His gaze dropped to her lips, then back up to her eyes. “You sure? I will wait, Valentina. I won’t leave you alone, because I couldn’t keep away from you. It would destroy me. But I can wait until you are ready and know you want this. I only ask that you don’t push me away. I want to spend time with you. To help our relationship grow.”
She smiled. Happiness bloomed in her veins. “I’m sure. I’ll be yours now. Tonight. Not because of the great sex, but because my heart is telling me to try.”
He kissed her again, this time to seal the deal. She heard him tear clothes off while their lips were plastered together. She helped him with his shirt. He ripped off his jeans and her clothes. Then she felt the warmth of his naked body pressed to her own. He was hard, rubbing his erection between her legs.
“Anything else you want to tell me?” he kissed the corner of her mouth, holding himself at the entrance to her pussy.
She wiggled, trying to get him to move and groaned when that didn’t work. She was ready for him. They both knew it, but he didn’t push inside her. “Yeah, I’m pregnant.”
He drove into her in a single-minded plunge. Her breath left her lungs in a rush. “I know you are. I scent her.”
She reared back and glanced at his face. “Her?”
He filled her body with his, not moving, just keeping them linked together. “Yes. Her.”
There was so much she wanted to know about what he knew that she didn’t, based on his much better scent, but she didn’t ask anything else. Didn’t get the chance to. He pulled back and drove forward, pushing all thoughts out of her mind. Everything but the need for him disappeared. She clung to him, raking her nails into his hair. She licked up his jaw, to his ear and bit on his lobe.
“Fuck me harder.”
He bit his fingers into her ass cheeks and pressed her back to a smooth rock she’d seen to their left, poking out of the water. Then he proceeded to thrust deep. Hard. Raw. He was so fast she was left breathless.
“Tell me you’re mine,” he growled, licking her shoulder. “Say the words.”
She whimpered. “ Yessss ”
“Yes, what?”
She twined her legs at his back, pressing her heels to his ass. “I’m yours, Brett. Bite me.”
He grazed his teeth on the curve of her neck, nipping down to her collarbone. She tilted her hips, giving better access. The move allowed him a deeper penetration. One that sent a shudder racing down her back.
He slipped a hand between their bodies, rubbing her clit with a few rough strokes. That’s all it took. She went flying. She purred a scream. Tension unraveled fast to be replaced with dizzying amounts of pleasure. She leaned her head back into the rock, curving her back and pressing her
