Chapter Ten

Karen led Tanner out of the room, down a hallway, and up a creaky set of stairs. She didn’t make it far, though, before pausing for another kiss. A quick kiss, a little taste of him to tide her over until they reached the privacy of her room.

Somehow, though, quick turned into long and little turned into deep, and she whimpered with the pleasure of it all. It only got better when Tanner backed her up and pinned her against the wall with his body. His big, hard body.

Her dragon purred inside. This kind of manhandling, she liked.

His hands tugged at the hem of her qípáo dress, and she congratulated herself on her choice of evening wear.

“You like this dress?” she murmured between kisses.

“I like this dress so much I need to take it off you very, very soon,” he growled, pressing into another kiss. The firm line of his lips guided hers open, and his tongue plundered her mouth, exploring, celebrating, claiming all that territory as his.

A dozen alarms should have gone off in her mind, because everyone knew bears were the most territorial shifters of them all. She really ought to be on guard against that. She was her own woman, after all.

But she’d had it with being her own. She wanted to be his. To let him consume her. Mark her. Claim her. She wanted to be part of a bonded twosome rather than the occasional one-plus-one. Even if it was only for tonight.

Not just for tonight, her dragon rumbled. Forever.

His body language all but screamed, My woman, and hers echoed the emotion back to him. Every rough scrape of his stubble over her cheek, every touch of his big hands wound her higher as he marked her with his scent.

I’m all yours, she told him through little gestures and touches. The message was coded into the way she rolled her head to the side, into the way she surrendered to his tongue, into the way she wound her leg around his.

His hips pushed against hers, and she climbed his leg like a boa.

“Here,” he panted, hitching her leg higher. A second later, she was moaning incomprehensibly.

Jesus, they were moving fast, but once the tidal wave of lust hit her, there was nothing to do but try to ride it out.

Not lust, her dragon corrected. Love. This is my mate.

“Mate?” she whispered, then winced. She hadn’t meant to say it out loud.

Tanner’s eyes shone with a deep, intense light, and he nodded. “Mate,” he whispered back.

For a moment, she got lost there, gazing into his eyes as if they weren’t two glassy points of light but crystal balls full of swirling mist that veiled her future. Then his mouth cracked open, and she dropped her head for another kiss. And another, and another, until the motion of him carrying her up the stairs rocked them apart.

“That one,” she murmured, pointing to the door he nearly carried her past.

Tanner shoved it open with a foot then shouldered it shut without letting her go.
