be his woman. It made her feel as though she could take a deep breath…like, for the first time in her entire life, she might know what safety felt like.
“Good.” He sat back on his heels. “First, I have to get you naked.”
“Just me? Because it’s been awhile, but I seem to recall there had to be two to do this properly.”
Travis grinned, and she could see his hidden dimple that seemed to come out when he smiled at only her. “I’ll be naked too.”
“Here.” She tugged off her top. They could get this portion of it finished faster, and then she could have him balls deep inside of her where she craved him to be.
“Whoa.” He stopped her from removing her bra. “That’s my job. I want to undress you. It’s my pleasure to do so.”
His eyes were pools of molten fire while he gazed at her. She dropped her hands to her sides. Her man, the leader of werewolves, had told her he wished to take off her clothing. She was going to let him.
He started with her bra. Never taking his eyes from hers, he undid the clasp in the back and laid it down on the floor. How could he be so gentle when she wanted to tear his clothes to shreds?
“Your scent.” He sucked in his breath. “Like cherries. And strawberries. It makes my mouth water with wanting you. And I can smell your longing, my She-wolf. I can taste it on my tongue.”
Her hands shook. “I feel like I might fall apart if you don’t take me soon. Like I might explode into a million pieces.”
“You’re in heat.”
She gasped. That sounded awful.
“It’s a very good thing. It’s your body’s way of telling you that you were ready to find a mate, a true mate. The only problem is that the female wolf has to regularly have sex during that time while she searches for him or she can get a little loopy. You made your first shift yesterday. It’s probably made the need even worse.”
“Then you have to do something about it, mate-of-mine, before I implode.”
“I am.” He licked her neck. “And your patience is only going to make this better.”
“I’m going to believe you, but it’s your fault if I blow up.”
“I’ll take the blame if that happens.” He took her breasts in his hands. Her nipples peaked, begging for attention. “I think you’re going to find me an attentive lover. I intend to make you come until you can’t see straight,” he whispered in her ear. “Many times, my mate.”

He’d rather be in his bed or hers than stuck in one of Cyrus’ apartments for their first time together, but he’d take whatever he could get if it meant he could end up in Lilliana’s heat.
She burned. He could smell it. The spicy scent of her arousal made his nose itch. Her body had been through so much, and now she needed this release to set things back in order. That was fine by him. He’d take her over and over again until she felt better—and then maybe even after that, too, since he wasn’t certain he’d ever be sated.
He’d promised her naked, and on that, he could deliver. Having already exposed her top half—and what a half it was—he desperately wanted to spend some time getting to know her breasts. He wanted her fully exposed to him, her body his to enjoy.
He tugged down her pants, showing off her long legs before he unwrapped his present for the night by taking off her panties. Travis stared down at her pussy with its beautiful, full bush and visible folds that held her warmth within their embrace.
“You’re so fucking beautiful.” His voice shook. “You know that, right?”
Her cheeks reddened. Had he embarrassed her? He just needed her to know how truly extraordinary she was.
“What I know is that you are still half dressed and I am sprawled out here on my own.”
He grinned. “Now that’s a thought. Maybe I’ll keep you this way permanently. My own personal always-nude mate. I can come and go all day, and there you will be, always naked…”
She leaned up and grabbed his neck, pulling his
