Chapter 43

• LYDIA
• I press my buttocks against Dex, and in return, he presses himself against me. I can feel the fierce strength of his presence, his possession over me. His fingers move against me with increasing force, as if he knows exactly what I want and the exact way I like it. How badly do I need this? Again and again, I moan his name, surrendering completely to the sensations. Dex bites my neck roughly at the spot where he will mark me as his mate during our bonding ceremony, and a rush of pleasure shoots through me.
• My moans rise, and he senses it—I’m about to reach the edge. Only then does Dex seem unable to hold back any longer. He releases my hands and wraps his own around my hips, pulling me closer, making me arch slightly. One of his fingers slides between my legs, finding me wet immediately.
