Reclaimed (Shadow Beast Shifters, #2)(68)

I went to grab him before I remembered the last time I’d done that in the hall. Holding my hands a few inches from his chest, I lifted my gaze to meet his. “Are you going to zap me again?”

Some of his blasé attitude fell. “Mera, fuck, that was… I’m keeping our secrets.”

He was keeping his secret, anyway… His dirty little secret.

“Whatever, Shadow.” With a huff, I turned and made my way into the water.

I would hear Ixana out because there might be knowledge here about me, and in that case, I was invested. I was going to be clean first, though.

As I sank down into the hot water, I sighed at how fucking good it felt. My muscles finally relaxed. Shadow was watching me, his eyes filled with flames, but he was managing his self-control, one arm lodged against the wall as he observed.

Since he hadn’t left yet, I decided to ask more questions. “Did you always expect answers for me would be in this land?”

He nodded. “I had a feeling that whatever information we got from my family would only point us here. The land where the mists converge. I sense your power originated here.”

This didn’t surprise me. The connection I had was strongest with the creatures. A facet of this land was part of me, and I wanted to figure out how that was possible.

“Fine,” I said, sinking a little deeper. “I’ll get cleaned up and meet you… where?”

He crossed his arms, and I tried very hard not to look at how broad his jacket made his shoulders look. It was one of those long, wool coats in a style businessmen often wore, and with black pants and shirt under it, he was more than a little devilishly handsome. “I’ll wait here for you.”

I nailed him with a glare of my own. “Actually, I’d like a little privacy.”

“Tough. Luck.”

I growled. “Shadow, for fuck’s sake. I won’t try to run. Just piss off and let me have my bath in peace.”

There was a decent chance I would need to come before my unsatisfied vagina let me go exploring.

The bastard didn’t argue again, just stayed where he was, his eyes on me. The possessive alpha thing that he naturally possessed, was jacked up tenfold here. Almost with its own energy, drifting in the air between us.

“Fine,” I snapped. “Suit yourself. You get to see the show now.”

Shadow thought he could get me all worked up and not follow through, then this was what happened.

My hands slipped under the water, tracing over my body, and I threw my head back as a moan fell from my lips. My skin was overly sensitive, and as much as I wished it was Shadow touching me, any caress was working for me today.

“Sunshine,” he cautioned, his voice disappearing into the beast territory, deep and rumbly.

Ignoring him, I slipped my fingers into my pussy—not wasting time since we didn’t have any—going straight for what I knew would get me off first. Another moan escaped, and at this point, I really enjoyed Shadow watching me. Under his dark pants, I could see his dick swelling, not to mention the fire in his eyes and the tension in his muscles. He wanted me, and I wasn’t the only one suffering in this current situation.

Opening my eyes as my fingers slipped inside again, I met his gaze, and there was no need to act defiant because I was hovering closer to my orgasm.

“You are going to be the death of me, Sunshine,” he said through gritted teeth. His power froze me, and I was lifted from the water. “Don’t ever touch yourself like that again.” Now I was completely fucking locked in by his hypnotic voice. “Your orgasms belong to me.”

I would have writhed if he wasn’t holding me still.

“Mine, Sunshine.”

“Shadow,” I choked out. “If I’m yours, then fucking prove it.”

His power jerked me forward, and by the time he caught me, the heat he was throwing off had dried me completely. I arched as he held me tightly, and when he turned us, my back hit the wall. His hard length pressed into my nakedness. He was still fully dressed, but somehow his pants were open, the velvety tip of his cock edging inside of me.

“You want this, little wolf?” he rumbled, and I cried out, jerking my pussy to slide down his cock further.

“Dude, you better dick me right now before I lose my brains.”

Shadow’s chest shook with his laughter, but he did as he was told for once. A choked gasp escaped as he thrust up into me, and he was still in his seven-foot height, which meant I was about to get my vagina annihilated. And I couldn’t find it in myself to care. I was a wolf shifter, and it would heal.

Shadow went hard and fast, holding me immobile as he fucked me, slamming into me like he was determined to ruin me for all other cocks. And, unfortunately, I was starting to think he had.

“Fucking hell,” I screamed, clawing at him when the orgasm slammed into me. It was one of those hard and fast jolts, and it started another buildup, so quickly, I couldn’t catch my breath.

He was relentless, his eyes locked on me, one hand holding my neck and shoulder blade while the other was under my ass as he drilled me so intensely, I saw stars.

“Come, Sunshine,” he ordered.

I did, jerking against him. “Gods.” I was sobbing now. “Shadow god.”

“Correct, baby,” he whispered, and fuck me, if that endearment didn’t tether my pussy to him just a little more. This was like the possessive attitude he threw around. It did it for me. Outside of the bedroom, I would hate his attitude, but inside it… I was hooked.
