scrambled at the first pass of his tongue. Her hips rocked up, but a heavy arm pressed down on her midriff to keep her immobile. “Cal!"
    "Come for me, Jess.” He flicked the end of his tongue against her clit then switched to slower, more intense licks. He lapped at her, growling deep in his throat when her juices met his tongue.
    It'd been just as good that first night, as if he'd already known what to do to make her scream in pleasure. And scream, she had. It was lucky there had been no one around because she hadn't been able to stop herself, shouting his name every time she exploded. Just like now... “Cal-leeeeb!"
    He thrust inside her only seconds later. He leaned down and pressed his mouth on hers. He tasted of her, and she groaned, wanting nothing more than to clasp him to her. Her hands were still tied, however, so she wrapped her legs around his waist instead. He seemed to like that, his cock twitching inside her.
    His palms on either side of her face, he started a rocking rhythm, making sure to brush the spot inside her that made her see stars at each upward thrust. “You feel so good, baby. I can't wait to have you in my bed—” Another thrust. “Your pussy tight around my cock—” And another one. “Every night.” The last word ended on a growl as he slammed against her cervix.
    Pain sparked inside her, triggering her climax. She arched her back and tightened her legs around him, feeling him lose control at the same exact second. “Nooo!"
    The link re-opened between them, and he called his power back to him.
    She was once more empty, once more back to her normal self, and she hated it. She'd wanted to help!
    "Shh, I'm fine, Jess. Feel for yourself.” He nuzzled her neck, soothing her as best he could.
    By the time he'd untied her from the bedposts, she'd calmed down enough to realize he was right. The urge to shift, to become a leopard and hunt the woods, was back inside him, but Caleb himself was quiet. He'd put up walls that would slow down the instinct the next time, and she hoped it was long enough for them to get married in...she blinked...only a few hours. Had they really spent all night making love?
    "I should leave,” she finally said.
    He tugged her to his side. “Why? I like you here.” He bumped her head with his, smiling at her like a mischievous little boy.
    She couldn't help but grin back. “I know. I love being with you, too, but everyone's going to wake up soon, and they can't see me here. I need to go back to the women's quarters before they realize I'm missing."
    Caleb kissed his fiancee for the last time before they'd meet again in front of the Leap's pastor. He watched her tiptoe down the staircase and shook his head. She really thought his lieutenants hadn't heard her slip inside the house. Considering how loud they'd been too, he'd have to thank his men for not following tradition and, instead, letting her spend the night with him. He'd needed her, more than he would admit to himself. She was just a human woman to his Alpha, and yet...she'd been the one pulling him back under control.
    She'd climbed into his heart all those months ago, and he wouldn't have it any other way. When he thought of how she'd used their mated link to take away his pain, he knew with unshakable certainty he'd made the right choice. She might not be a shifter, something his people would have to get used to, but she was strong enough to be their Alpha's mate.
    Yes, his soon-to-be wife was something else all right. He smiled and closed the door, stretching the kinks away. He hadn't thought he'd spend the night before his wedding making love, but it had been a perfect way to celebrate their coming union. Somehow, it also represented them to a T. Their lust for each other echoed the love that had grown so strong between them.
    He stepped into the bathroom and stared at the clothes on the floor. He smirked, remembering how she'd looked in the new lingerie she'd chosen just for him. God but he couldn't wait
