Edwin cradled me in his armas as he made love to me. I laid on my back, legs resting over his waist, as he gently thrust into me on his side. His lips trailed warm paths across my neck, fangs nipping at the exposed skin.

I arched my back languidly, a soft moan escaping me as the movement gave his next thrust deeper access. His member, warm and thick, throbbed at the sensation. Edwin chuckled lowly, his eyes fixed on my parted lips.

"What is it?" I managed through my whimpers as he gently worked himself into me, inch by glorious inch. I ground my hips against him, my low belly aching as he swooped his fingers in slow circles across my **t.

He shook his head and propped himself up on one elbow, pressing another kiss to my temple as he caged himself around me. "Your fangs dropped a little."

I ran my tongue along the too-sharp canine and winced as it pr**ked my tongue like a needle. He was right; where there had once been slightly smooth canine teeth were now two razor-sharp fangs. Edwin, noticing my cringe, traced his thumb along my lower lip! 1 opened my mouth a little more, and he dipped his head, tongue flicking across my own-licking away the little bead of blood that had squeezed out.

He pushed a little deeper into me then, and I felt full to the brim as he positioned himself between my trembling thighs. He gripped my thighs, gently pushing them down and back, that stretch in my hamstrings eliciting another moan.

"Another thing to get used to," he huffed as he began working in deep, steady strokes, "is not biting yourself with those fangs."

I hardly had the breath left in me to laugh as he picked up his pace, flesh clapping against flesh beneath the sheets. In fact, ás I raked my nails down his back, I heard him suck in a sharp breath "Sorry." I whispered, retracting my claws. "I didn't mean to

He shook his head, dark hair falling into his eyes, and sketched a playful nip at my earlobe. "I like it," he purred, his voice low and husky. "Scratch me all you want

Eyes wide, I pushed back against the pillow to look at him. I saw nothing but lusty mischief in those gray and gold depths.

And so, grinning, I extended my claws and raked them down his spine, reveling in the sound of his howls as he thrust himself into me,

came up.

Only then did we finally collapse in a sweaty, sated heap, limbs tangled beneath and around the white sheets. Edwin was already tracing lazy patterns on my skin with the tip of his finger, and I shivered contentedly, my new body still tingling from reaching our peak together.

"That was different," 1 murmured, voice h**rse. "Coming with you.."

A light flickered in those eyes. "I've always heard that climaxing with your mate is an... out of body experience," he all but growled. "I've never experienced it myself, of course. Before now."

Whoever said that had certainly been right-I was still coming back to earth,
