in those spectacular eyes. “You’ve got skills, huh?” A small smile played with her pink lips.
    “Yeah.” He wrapped a hand around her arm and drew her toward him, gently taking her mouth.
    She sighed against him and returned his kiss—tentatively at first and then with more strength. Her hands flattened against his chest, and she moved into him even more. She suddenly coughed.
    He leaned back. “Veronica?”
    She shuddered and clasped a hand against her chest. The color deserted her face. “Um.”
    Shit. He jumped up and ripped his clothes off, grateful he was still hard from their play on the couch. “Hurry.”
    Her eyes widened, and she stood, her fingers fumbling with her shirt.
    He could hear her heart slowing. “Sorry.” Grabbing her shirt, he ripped it down the front.
    Her chuckle was more of a wheeze.
    He yanked off her jeans, gently finding her core. Wet. She was a little wet from earlier. Thank God. “Okay. This first time is going to be quick.”
    She nodded, her lips turning blue.
    Damn it. She wasn’t getting any oxygen to her face. Her heart was only stuttering its last minutes. He paused, grasping her hips. “Are you sure?”
    “Yes,” she whispered, her eyes clear. “I want to live, Jared.”
    Good enough. He laid her back and covered her. “I’m sorry.”
    She widened her thighs. “Hurry up,” she wheezed.
    He pressed his forehead to hers, willing her heart to keep beating. Slowly, as carefully as he could, he started to enter her. She was too fucking tight—and warm. He had to halt.
    She dug her nails into his ass. “Hurry,” she whispered.
    Closing his eyes, he shoved inside her completely. She arched against him, pain on her hiss.
    “I’m so sorry,” he murmured.
    Her eyelids fluttered open. “Whoa. You’re huge,” she said, a smile playing on her pale lips.
    He coughed out a laugh. How could she joke right now? His heart warmed. So did his dick. She pulsed around him, tight and hot. Wet. Perfect. He slowly slid out to shove back in.
    She blinked. “That feels…good.” Her smile was weak but there. “Again.”
    He did as she said, setting up a good rhythm that was as gentle as he could be. She rocked against him, her ankles clasping at his back. Color slid into her face. “It’s been a while,” she said, wonder in her voice.
    He could still feel her heart stuttering, so he reached between them and rubbed her clit. Her skin was unbelievably soft against his calloused fingers.
    She arched against him again with a small cry, shutting her eyes. Part of him wanted to tell her to keep them open so he could watch her go over, but if she needed to keep them closed to get there, he’d let her.
    This time.
    Her breath caught, and her body stiffened. He rubbed harder. She dug her nails into his back and broke, her body undulating around his cock, even the waves somehow gentle.
    Relief filled him. He pounded harder, sliding his fangs down.
    Her eyes opened, and she caught their glint. Swallowing, she turned her head to the side and exposed her neck.
    The proof of her trust landed in his heart and took hold.
    He dipped and bit into the soft flesh where her shoulder met her neck, unable to stop himself from going deep. The second he pierced bone, his body shuddered, and he came.
    Energy ripped through him, around him, even at him.
    Her eyelids closed, and she gave a soft murmur.
    Tension and more energy cascaded from her as her body started to heal. So, the mating had taken. He paused, his heart thundering. “Veronica?”
    She breathed heavier, her body working in sleep.
    He was still inside her, his mind reeling. In all his life, this was not how he imagined a mating going. He chuckled. Talk about awkward. Pressing a quick kiss to her mouth, he started to make plans. “We’ll talk when you wake up.”
