CHAPTER SEVEN

He’d never known anything like this. This level of satiation was beyond imagining. He’d done that a lot. Most of his waking moments had been tormented with thoughts of being able to make love again. A large portion of his resting ones were spent with that preoccupation, too. But everything he’d envisioned had been far short of the reality.

He never felt so fulfilled. Content.

Happy.

He was still vibrating with a bliss that reached everywhere. His heart was one big mass that pumped light, warmth, and love. Finding his mate was pure heaven. Mating with her was the supreme embodiment of joy, elation, and ecstasy. Pleasure beyond description. Incredible was one word that came to mind. Fantastic. Inconceivable. And mind-blowing. To an infinite degree.

Nigel extended the fingers of the hand at the small of her back, running his touch along skin that lifted with little bumps. She moaned, moved her chin, shimmied parts of her body, and pushed even closer to him. Matched to him nearly everywhere. Time passed. Their breathing calmed. The room righted.

He hadn’t meant to enthrall her, but he’d been outgunned by testosterone. Everything had gone haywire the moment she’d spoken about her ex-boyfriend – his grandson, Paul Henry. Nigel had discovered several things simultaneously. Jealousy was an igniter. Passion was a fuel. And the need to mate was overwhelming. As potent as any addiction. As necessary as blood.

Now, he didn’t know what to say. Do. How to act. Where to start. He felt like a complete heel. Lower than low. She’d called him safe.

And he’d betrayed that.

“Nigel?”

The breath from her whisper brushed his neck. The spot tingled. “Yeah, baby?”

“I...don’t know what to say.”

By some stroke of fate, he’d landed on the bottom when they fell. The gauzy black material had her securely wrapped to him. And worse. He was already getting interested in a repeat lovemaking session. Very interested.

A heartbeat worth of time passed. Another. “Um. Me, either,” he finally replied.

“I don’t know what came over me.”

He heard a sniff. Felt the intake as her body shuddered with it. She wasn’t going to cry, was she? And if that happened...? Nigel choked. Oh shit. He felt a sting behind his eyes and blinked rapidly to control it.

“Uh...Mandy?” His voice was lower than usual. But at least, he’d conquered the urge to cry.

“I’ve never done...anything like this.”

“Yeah. I know.” And man! It engendered the same rush of pleasure. He was her first! And only! The knowledge brought such warmth, the canopy material about him felt restrictive and hot. And scratchy.

“I am so sorry.”

“Oh, no. No, babe. No. What the hell? I should be apologizing, not you. I was just working up to it. I mean, I only needed a moment or two first. Maybe three.”

“But, I...um...took advantage of you.”

“Is that what you think happened?”

Oh. Damn. And hell. And double shit. He was failing at controlling the mating urge. It was getting obvious. This was ridiculous. He had to stop it. He thought of cold water. Ice-cold water. The result was his erection got harder.
