Eli's hands were moving everywhere. I could feel them as they brushed against my arms and face. The sparks that accompanied them shot through my body, only fueling my growing desire for more. For him.

Eli's legs brushed against the couch and I lightly pushed him down before repositioning myself on top of him. His dark eyes met mine and his fingers ran through my hair.

"Reu, you're positive you want this?" He questioned.

"I am," I replied earnestly. "Do you?"

He nodded without hesitation. "I do, I just don't want us to go all the way and then someone regrets it the next day."

"Eli," I called out as I leaned down. "I'm not going to regret this. I want this, I promise."

He searched my eyes, likely looking for any signs of doubt or discomfort, but there was none. I knew what I wanted.

"Let's move to the bedroom," he instructed.

I nodded and Eli gripped my hand, easily guiding me through the house. He opened the bedroom door and the moment we were both inside, I closed the door and kissed him again.

His hands ran down my body, causing me to shiver and when I stared into his eyes, it was as if they'd grown darker with desire. We stood like that for a long moment, just taking in the other's appearance. It was only when Eli spun us around and lightly pushed me onto the bed that I was pulled from the trance I was in.

I knew some people liked to take it slow, but that wasn't the case between Eli and me. Everything felt like a blur—a blur of pent-up sexual frustration. Clothing was frantically removed, hands were everywhere, and trails of hickeys were forming. I welcomed it all. Anything he gave me, I took gladly.

"If you want me to stop then don't hesitate to tell me," Eli said as his hands worked to undo my belt buckle.

"I won't," I promised him.

Soon, he had my belt undone and removed both my pants and boxers. His eyes trailed over my naked form and he exhaled.

"Goddess, Reu," he murmured as he positioned himself between my legs and leaned down to kiss me.

When he pulled back, he started to take off his pants as well but stopped abruptly.

"Condoms," he half-whined, half-groaned. "I don't have condoms."

"I—"

"Maybe I can go get some," he thought out loud.

"Eli."

"But then I'd have to leave you here and I don't want to do that," his gaze ran across my body. "I really don't want to do that."

"Eli."

"But—"

"Eli, stop talking," I cut him off. "Go to my room. There should be lube and condoms in the black bag by the bed."

His eyes lit up and like the goal-oriented werewolf he was, he quickly took off in search of the items.

I wasn't sure, but before we left Oakwood, I figured it would be smart to buy some if our encounter in his apartment was any indication. I'd gotten a few different sizes so I was fairly certain he'd be able to find one.

"You came prepared," he noted when he returned and sat the lube and condoms on the table.

"I didn't want to get this far and then stop because we didn't plan ahead."

He smiled. "So you've thought about this?"

There was a glint of cockiness in his eyes, but it didn't bother me. If anything, I welcomed it because confident Eli was a huge turn-on.

"It's been in the back of my mind since we left Oakwood," I admitted. "You have."

Eli seemed to glow brighter with every word I said. He walked forward and stopped in front of the foot of the bed. I pushed myself up into a sitting position and picked up where he left off by removing his pants.

"This is the first time you've said anything."

"The timing was never right," I half-shrugged. "You were busy and I wanted to give you time to figure everything out first. It was difficult though. Your scent covers every inch of this house. My wolf was pushing to complete the mate bond, but you were busy."

"I guess we should make up for lost time then, shouldn't we?" He hummed.

My eyes met his. "We should."

Those two words were all Eli needed to hear. He stepped out of his pants and boxers, revealing his hardening member to me. He climbed on the bed and unlike last time, I fully welcomed the feeling of his body against mine. I didn't try to push him away but pulled him closer. His lips attacked my neck and I tilted my head to offer better access.

His lips trailed from my neck down to my chest, making the marks he created earlier darker and adding new ones as well. My eyes fluttered at the feeling. He continued his attack, traveling lower and lower until he reached my penis. His eyes briefly shot to mine, but he didn't give me a chance to say anything as his tongue moved across my length.

"Eli..." my words trailed off as I tangled my hand in his hair and enjoyed the movements.

I welcomed everything and anything he gave me. My body quivered with need.

When he finally pulled away, I couldn't stop myself from groaning. He stood up and my eyes followed him as he grabbed the lube and condom.

"Are you still okay?" He asked.

"Yes," I replied. "But, I'd be better if you moved faster."

He full-on grinned at that and made his way back to me. His hands moved to my legs and he spread them. I groaned in anticipation.

I shivered when I felt his fingers brush against me before slowly pushing inside. The feeling was foreign, but it wasn't painful. There was a minor discomfort, but not enough to make me want to stop.

We stayed like that for a long time. Eli's eyes were glued to my face. He watched my expression and the way my body responded.

"Eli, I'm ready," I told him a few moments later.

"Yeah? Don't forget you can stop me at any point."

He wasted no time after that. A moan escaped me when I felt him. My legs instinctively tightened around his waist and the corners of his mouth raised as he pushed past my barriers.

"Reu, you're beautiful," he murmured.

"Eli," I said breathlessly.

"You are," he continued with a push. "I mean, you always are, but sometimes different awakens inside of me when I see you like this: lying spread out in front of me..."

Something seemed to shift inside of him. His gaze was no longer just sweet and innocent, but there was something predatory inside of it—something that told me I wouldn't be leaving the comforts of his bedroom anytime soon.

"Eli, please," the words came out needier than I intended.

"Please what?"

"Touch me, fuck me, I don't care just do something!"

"If that's what you want," he spoke as he pushed the remaining of his length inside of me and started to slowly thrust. "That is what you want, right?"

"Stop teasing me," I groaned and before he could respond, I mustered my strength and flipped us around, watching the way his expression switched to surprise. "This is what I want."

My hand gripped his hair while his hands rested on my waist. I took a deep breath as I switched our pace from slow to fast, riding him as if tomorrow was but an illusion.

"Who said you get to tease me, you asshole?" I scoffed. "And you call me a bully."

Eli groaned loudly, meeting my movements with thrusts of his own. My hands tightened in his hair as I felt him hit something deep inside me. Something that felt amazing.

A spark lit in his eyes. "Found it."

"What—"

My words were cut off and I was flipped back onto my back. He didn't give me the chance to speak as he slammed inside me, hitting that spot dead on. My mouth opened, but no words came out. Eli utilized the opportunity to sneak his tongue into my mouth, effectively stealing back control.

My body trembled and a heat built up inside me. I could tell I wasn't the only one either. Eli's thrust became more frantic, his kiss more aggressive. His hands squeezed my hips to the point where I was sure there'd be marks left after we were finished.

My moans became whimpers, begging for more as we both approached our orgasms. Eli pulled away from the kiss and his mouth moved toward my neck, nipping at the area where his mate mark would sit. I could feel his canines drop and drag against my skin, teasing me. I tilted my head slightly and he let out a pleased growl.

"You have no idea how badly I want to mark you," he mumbled against my neck. "Seeing you walking around with my mate mark, letting everyone know you're mine...that'd be perfect."

I don't know what came over me, but I looked up at him and said, "Then do it. Mark me, Eli."

"What?"

"Mark me. I want you to mark me."

Something dark filled him. "You want that?"

"I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."

That alone seemed to be enough to reignite the fire burning inside of him. Everything seemed to blur together after that all I knew was that it felt good. He felt good.

The pressure inside me built up until I couldn't take it anymore. I tightened around him and moaned as my orgasm erupted. I tried to turn my head, but he didn't let me. His eyes studied my expression, watching as I came undone. And then with one last powerful thrust, he came as well. He groaned deeply against me before kissing the area where my neck and shoulder met and sinking his canines into it.

I moaned loudly at the feeling and once he removed his canines, I pushed him back to do the same. I felt our bond coming together and connecting as one. I felt all his emotions flowing through my body. The sparks seemed to grow stronger.

Eli rested his head against mine as we both came down from our orgasms. It was only when I felt something wet that I pulled away and noticed his teary eyes.

"Why are you crying?" I asked worriedly.

"I'm okay," he quickly assured me as he wiped his eyes. "You just...you make me really happy, Reuben."

I wrapped my arms around him. Neither of us spoke for a while after that, but there was no need for us to because deep in our bond, I was sure we could both feel it: the love we felt toward each other.
