Chapter 30: By Choice

He didn't take me to the kitchen, or the deck, or the wall by the front door.

He carried me up the lodge stairs to his bedroom, kicked the door shut behind us, and set me down at the foot of his bed.

The room was dark except for the snow-light at the window.

"Here," Kurt said. "In a bed. For once."

"You've had me in four places."

"I've had you in four places in a hurry." His hands came up to my coat. "I want all night."

He took the coat off my shoulders and let it fall.

He took off my sweater next, slowly, and then the shirt under it.

Each time his knuckles dragged along my skin, he stopped and looked at what he'd uncovered.

I stood there in my bra and jeans with my pulse going in my throat.

"You're shaking," he said.

"I'm cold."

"No, you're not."

"No." I laughed, and it came out unsteady. "I'm not."

I reached for his belt, and he caught my wrist.

It was the same grip he'd used the first night, when I woke from the dream with a cry, and I knew it the instant it closed.

"Is that how you greet every house guest, Alpha?" I said.

His mouth curved.

"Only my mate," he said.

He backed me onto the bed and laid me down.

He pushed both my wrists above my head into the pillow and held them in one hand.

With the other he unhooked my bra and drew it away.

His eyes went over me.

"Mine," he said, low. "By choice. Say it."

"Yours," I said. "By choice."

He lowered his head and took my breast into his mouth.

I arched off the mattress, and a sound broke out of me.

His tongue circled my nipple, then pulled it hard between his teeth, and heat shot down through my stomach into my pussy.

He moved to the other breast and did it again, and I strained against his grip, wanting my hands in his hair.

"Let me touch you."

"Not yet."

"Kurt."

"You said slow," he said against my skin. "I'm giving you slow."

"I said no such thing."

"Your whole body said it."

He kissed down my ribs, and my stomach, and I felt him smile at the waistband of my jeans.

He let go of my wrists to unbutton them, and I did not put my hands in his hair.
