Reclaimed (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 2)

Shadow sealed the room with his power, a fire surging to surround us completely, and we should have been near dying from the barrier of heat, but all I felt was a rush of pleasure. I wanted to dance in the flames and never leave.

He used his power to strip me naked, fire bursting to life across his skin, and my own flames responded. It was his energy causing it, though. I had no control right now, my limbs moving under his command. I’d submitted and he was taking full advantage.

His power drew me up to his height, and when our eyes were level, he smiled. Just this small, knowing smirk. “Are you ready for this, Sunshine?”

“Yes.” No hesitation.

He reached out and brushed a hand across my cheek before tracing his thumb down my lips. “I know you’re a virgin, but I’m not capable of being soft. And I’m giving you this one last chance to walk away.”

Offering that cost him, and I knew on instinct he’d never proposed that to anyone before.

My next words choked out because I was flustered. And so horny that I wondered if I might die from the tension twirling through my stomach. “Just… make it good for me.”

No pressure, Beast. But… yeah, a lot of pressure, actually.

The flames faded from our skin, and one of us was way more naked than the other. I reached out for him, and he stopped me with a twitch of his eyebrow, his power holding me in stasis. “You aren’t very good at submitting, little wolf.” The rumble of his voice filled my head, and I was desperate; he was going to have me begging in a second.

“Shadow,” I grumbled.

He released me in the same instant, and I collapsed forward into his arms; he caught me and jerked me up into him so fast that my head spun. I wasn’t ready when he crashed his lips to mine, and without thought, I opened my mouth and allowed him entry. We didn’t fight like the last time; no dominance struggles. Shadow was the alpha tonight and we both knew it. My wolf wasn’t worried, her presence barely even felt in my chest, as she let me have the lead.

This was human shit and she wasn’t interested.

As we kissed, Shadow’s hands slid across my bare ass, and then he was once again playing with my pussy like he owned it. And today, he kind of did. As he caressed my clit, I was already so wet and aching that barely a tweak had me groaning, and then a second later I was about to come, but he pulled away just as my breathing got noticeably heavy.

“Not yet, Sunshine,” he murmured. “You’re so sensitive. Let’s see how it goes if you have a little buildup.”

I wanted to cry. “Shadow, I’ve been building up for years. You don’t need to drag this out.”

He shut me up with his mouth, another bruising kiss, and I was grinding against him, seeking release. Only to have his power stop me.

“Let me,” he murmured, and then he separated us, using his power to send me across the room, pinning me against the wall. He didn’t move a step; his power did all the work. Completely at his mercy, I watched as he stalked forward—I was pinned a couple of feet off the floor, so we were basically eye level—and as he moved closer, he reached over the back of his neck and pulled his shirt off.

Slowly.

Agonizingly slow, giving me an uninterrupted view of what he had going on. I’d seen his body before, but my memory didn’t do the ripped, bronze, muscled and tatted form justice. He was a fucking work of art, covered in the most incredible moving images. Perfection, wrapping up a dark soul, that I wanted to possess.

This one night would be worth everything that it cost me.

When his shirt was gone, he was in front of me, and leaning over, he took what he wanted, nipping at my lips before he dragged his mouth across my cheek and then down the edge of my jaw. He licked and sucked across my skin, and I groaned, straining against where his power held me to the wall. My arms and legs were bound with invisible ties, and I could barely even buck my hips, which I desperately wanted to do to relieve the tension building.

He didn’t let me touch him, and again, he was the one initiating the pleasure; it was almost too much for my brain and body to handle. When he captured one of my nipples between his teeth, biting gently, and then rougher, my moan was loud as I writhed in the small movement allowed to me.

Shadow moved to the other nipple, and I was so wet, my arousal slid down my thighs.

I was beyond fucking ready for him. “Please,” I begged.

He let out a dark chuckle against my tits, capturing my nipple again, and hot damn, this guy knew how to use his tongue.

It should be registered as some sort of weapon.

One orgasm via nipple stimulation was definitely in my near future if he didn’t stop.

Please don’t stop.

But of course, the bastard did, in his quest to build me to the biggest orgasm of my life. He’d probably be successful, if the tension spiraling in my gut was any indication.

As he kissed his way down my body, my eyes near rolled back into my head, and I was fighting his hold again, desperate to move. “Your words say, ‘submit,’ but your body doesn’t,” he rumbled, kissing along my hip bone, his tongue dragging across my overly sensitive skin. “I’m going to need you to try harder, Sunshine.”

I sobbed, but I forced myself to remain still, feeling every swipe of his firm, brilliant tongue across my body. He moved down the center of my hips, leaving a wet path, and I was too far gone to really think about anything now. My body jerked as he blew across my clit. Could a clit quiver? Like, this was a life question I needed answers for, because if it couldn’t, then what the hell was mine doing? A fucking samba?

A scream built in my chest as he grazed across my pussy, brushing over my clit again, with nothing more than that puff of air. I was so desperate that a moan escaped. This was torture. Literal torture.

But I wouldn’t have walked away for all the fucking power in the world right now.

He brushed across me again, and I flexed my hips so that I all but shoved my vagina in his face. He tilted his head back. “Naughty little wolf,” he growled.

His power hit me harder, forcing me into the wall so I had literally zero movement. Just when I was about to freak out because this wasn’t a comfortable sensation, his fingers parted my folds, and he licked right up the seam of my pussy. The warmth of his tongue as it swirled across my clit had a scream spilling from my lips.

“Jesus, fuck. Jesus.”

He stopped. “That’s not the god here, Sunshine. Use my name.”

“Shadow.” I repeated myself, omitting the other name he didn’t want to hear, before I added in a breathless rush, “It’s just an expression.”

His chest rumbled as his growl ripped through the room. “Not fucking here it’s not.”

I tried to nod, only I couldn’t move, and my head was clouded, so I forgot what we were even talking about.

Please just… get back to what you were doing.

He must have seen the desperate yearning in my gaze, and with a low chuckle, he returned to my body, and this time, I wasn’t missing the orgasm. He swiped his tongue up through the moisture dripping from me, plunging his tongue into me, over and over, stimulating the sensitive nerve endings as I came screaming, sitting on his face, as was my favorite pastime. Well… almost sitting. Same, same.

My world exploded into a black-and-white, star-filled galaxy, and by the time I was done, my throat was sore, my ears aching.

And I got it.

Finally.

The buildup he’d been trying to achieve was literally the most intense experience I’d ever had in my life, and I was struggling to catch my breath, even as I prayed he would give me another one exactly the same.

He wasn’t done, his mouth sucking my clit in, working that ball of nerves. I could hear how wet I was, but it didn’t seem to bother Shadow. If anything, he settled in between my legs, like he was going to fucking move in and live there.

Yeah, totally okay with that. Price of admission: daily orgasms.

His mouth vibrated, and at the same time, he used his power to send a vibration deep into my pussy. I came again, faster, with a huffed groan as all air expelled from me due to the sheer force of it.

His hold on my body released minutely, and I tried to reach for him, only to find my limbs were still somewhat unresponsive. “My turn now,” I huffed, needing to touch him.

He freed me, catching hold of my body as I fell forward. This time when I scrambled to get him undressed, he let me. My fingers fumbled on the button of his pants, and as I finally got it released, he actually groaned.

My hands slipped inside and… screw me sideways, he was completely commando underneath.

Commando and motherfucking huge.

I tried to wrap my hand around his hard length, but it must have been the angle because I couldn’t manage even half the diameter. Needing to see more, I pushed his pants all the way down, and as I stared, I blinked, wondering if I was going to die tonight.

“I… You’re going to have to shrink from your eight-feet height,” I said softly. “’Cause that is not gonna fit.”

I mean, that wasn’t even a normal eight-feet-tall man dick. It was so much more than that, and I was a virgin. The math didn’t add up here.

Shadow laughed. “First, my natural height is just over seven feet.”

So yeah, I’d been guessing his heights and was apparently really fucking shit at that game. “You’re giant either way,” I shot back.

“And second,” he said, ignoring my reply, “it will fit, Sunshine.”

Aanndd my pussy was doing the samba again.

His voice got very low. “Submitting means you trust me to take care of you. Have I let you down yet?”

“No.” I didn’t need time to think about it. There was no letdown. If anything, Shadow only ever took care of me, making sure I got off multiple times. My biggest frustration was that he never let me return the favor.

But I finally had his cock in my hand, and… why the fuck was I wasting time worrying about vagina damage?

I’d freak out tomorrow when I couldn’t walk.

Shadow stepped out of his pants, and my gaze followed the path from his huge, masculine feet, tipped with a sprinkling of dark hair, up his heavily muscled thighs, which were surprisingly free of ink. Only his torso was marked, and I liked that.

His cock, which was slightly darker than the rest of him, proudly jutted from his body, and when I reached out to touch the silky length, he was so hard that I felt a sense of achievement that I could turn on a god like this. Shadow Beast wanted to fuck me, and that was beyond belief, but I wasn’t wasting this opportunity.

“I’ve never done this,” I said, looking up as I leaned forward to lick across the head of his cock. It jerked against my mouth, and I liked that a lot.

Shadow groaned. “Virgin mouth, and tonight it belongs to me.”

I legitimately had no idea what I was doing, but I went with instinct, needing to taste him. My hand slid up and down as I licked across the tip, sucking in the salty liquid leaking from the slit. Opening wider, I tried to take as much of his length into my mouth as I could—which was sadly not that much, just the tip, really—and groaned at how good he tasted.

Not good like chocolate, but good like male spice and energy. My attraction to Shadow had never been stronger, and I was desperate to make him feel as good as he always made me feel.

As I continued, finding a rhythm with my hand and mouth moving together, Shadow rumbled above me. His hands threaded in my long hair as he held my head firmly, thrusting down my throat. I’d been sort of ready for it, so I didn’t choke too much, but his cock slid deeper the next time, and I coughed and spluttered. This wasn’t enough of a deterrent to give up, so I just got on board and tried to breathe the best I could between his thrusts.

Why the fuck had I waited so long to do this? I kinda… loved it. The feeling, the taste, the power I felt even as he took control. I was doing this to him, sending him into frenzied thrusts against my mouth as energy zipped between us.

My thighs clenched as my core ached, and I used my free hand to try to slip between my legs, needing some relief. Only Shadow was having none of that, his power stopping me before I could get to the good spot.

“Not on my watch, Sunshine,” he rumbled. “ I’ve had to listen to you bring yourself to orgasm too many times in the lair. Today, your cunt belongs to me.”

Sucking in a breath, I lifted my head away from his cock. My god, his dirty fucking mouth was perfection. “You heard me make myself come?”

Flickers of darkness brewed in his eyes. “Yes. You’re not quiet and I have exceptional hearing.”

Embarrassment didn’t happen. Honestly, I couldn’t find it in myself to care that he’d heard me.

“Guess it’s your turn then.”

His cock jerked near my face, and I was about to launch myself on it again, when Shadow wrapped both hands around my thighs and lifted me with ease. Like I weighed about two pounds instead of a hundred and thirty.

Tilting my head back, I let my gaze clash with his fire-touched one, and I sort of forgot to breathe for a few seconds.

“Kiss me,” he demanded as he started to walk, and before I could lean forward, words spilled from my lips.

“Why did you choose me for your first kiss?”

He stopped, and the flames were mesmerizing as they danced through his eyes, almost spilling out over his cheeks. I found myself as desperate to hear his answer as I had been for my previous orgasms. Please answer me.

His expression was destroying me, and when I heard the rasp of his deep voice, I all but clung to him, not wanting to miss a word. “In thousands of years, you’re the first being to cross my path and give me a reason to fight for a different future. I never saw you coming, and I never anticipated you would wreak such havoc on both me and my life. There was no one else who was worthy.”

He thought I was worthy. The mess of a shifter with no pack and a true mate who’d rejected her.

“But you have a true mate,” I breathed, knowing I might fuck up everything with this line of conversation, but apparently, my deadass was gonna go there.

Shadow’s face was awash in secrets, and as he leaned over, his mouth tasting the tender spot beneath my ear, he murmured, “Her face is a blur, and I have a fantastic memory for almost everything else in this world. Out of duty, I never kissed a single being in the time I was exiled from my world, but then you exploded into my life. Full of sass and fucking questions, with hair of a sunset, and a temper to equal my own. The gods themselves couldn’t have stopped me from claiming you.”

I felt the truth of that, deep in my chest.

I had a true mate as well, but Torin’s face was a faded scene of disappointment, nothing like the brilliance of Shadow.

“I’m glad that I will always have your first,” I whispered, knowing that giving him this much of myself was dangerous, but fuck, if I was going to jump, I might as well go all out.

He started to walk again, and then we were out of the main room with the fireplace, and into… a bedroom, maybe. It had what looked like a floating cloud puff in the center, which I had to assume was the bed. It all worked the same: soft surface to sleep on.

Or to do other much more pleasurable activities.
