The bedroom of his woman, his love, was where it would happen. It was the place where he would mate with Elise and she would be his forever. He looked around once more, needing to brand the setting in his mind. Her cream-colored walls were covered in photos of her family and friends, those who were closest to her. Her bed sat under the window, with its sky blue comforter and pillows, all decorated in brown diamonds of various sizes. Her large dresser, which stood against the wall by her closet, was covered in jewelry boxes, hair ties, and more framed pictures. Elise's room was tidy and exuded a warm feeling that Caden could not get enough of. It probably wouldn't look as immaculate after he and his wolf were done. He would apologize to Elise before he shifted.
It had taken some effort, but Caden finally convinced his wolf to let him take charge for the time being. He reminded his counterpart of their previous conversation when his human side was put in charge of loving their woman the way she needed so they would no longer have to go without her in their arms.
His wolf huffed, but conceded the point. The wolf would give him time to love their mate properly, but when the time came to claim their woman, he was taking over and making her theirs. He settled in the back of Caden's consciousness, drinking in the sensations that shot through Caden's senses as he took in their love.
Caden had enough control to go slow, at least for the moment, but it would be a struggle once he started to uncover the lovely mocha-hued skin of his woman. He pulled back the covers with one hand, the other supporting Elise as if she weighed absolutely nothing and placed her on the bed carefully, delicately. He knew that the mating would be a lot rougher, so he would try to be romantic right then to balance things out.
His lips skimmed across her neck, as he took his place next to her on the bed. His tongue tickled the whorl of her ear, slipping up and over, his mouth moving towards hers. Caden pressed a passionate kiss to her lips, his tongue slipping inside and memorizing every detail of her mouth from top to bottom. He knew the feel of her lips, the taste of her tongue, the ridges on the roof of her mouth. He committed to memory the moans and sighs that she let slip out as he plundered her mouth, claiming it for himself. It was something he had dreamt about from the very moment he laid his eyes on her curvy form, claiming every inch of her body, starting with the pretty lips made for his own.
He lifted his head when he felt her need for air conveyed through their telepathic link. Elise breathed in deep, and while she regained some of her wits along with the oxygen she had been deprived of, Caden peeled off the shirt that clung to her breasts in the most enticing of ways.
"You shouldn't wear this shirt around my brothers, it will give them ideas and I will have to rip their throats out when they make some smart-assed remark. And I know they will…because they are jackasses."
Elise struggled to focus on his words. Was he really trying to tell her not to wear something? She smiled up at him and gave him a patronizing pat on the shoulder. "You think I'm actually going to listen to you, don't you? Cute. Just because we're mates doesn't mean that you can dictate to me. Don't get it twisted, baby."
Caden chuckled. That was what he loved about her. She was feisty, as Bennett had said, and she wouldn't let him push her around. She stood up for herself and what she believed in and he knew that she would have the same kind of passion when it came to defending their pack. His wolf was right, she was the perfect compliment to him. "The only things that I'm planning on twisting are your nipples and my cock while it's deep inside of you, sweet."
That earned a laugh from Elise's prone form. "Well, get to it. I thought you brought me up here to make me yours."
Caden chuckled softly as he made quick work of the front-clasp of her bra. Her breasts fell free, her chocolate-kissed nipples pebbled from a combination of her arousal and the coolness of the air before his hands covered them. He pressed her breasts together so that he could feast on both nipples at the same time, drawing a heated moan from her lips.
"Caden…"
His wolf smiled and so did he. There was nothing that would stop them from mating with Elise that night. He lowered his lips to her mounds, nipping at the dark areolas, running his tongue around the outer edges in a figure-8 before settling down to feast on her nipples. He spent many minutes satisfying his desire to feast on the nubbins that would nurse his young in the near future.
When he was done with her nipples, he took a leisurely tour around her breasts, sucking, licking and biting until he had Elise calling out his name. Her back was bowed in a show of impressive flexibility and in an effort to keep as much of her breast in contact with his mouth as she could manage.
Elise's breathless pants, her keening cries, the way she moaned his name, it all served to spur him on, taking him to levels of arousal that he had never imagined. He needed more. His lips searched hers out as he unbuttoned her pants and worked them downwards. She kicked them off once they reached her feet and Caden took the opportunity to lie between her thighs.
"Sweet, you don't care for these covers do you?"
Elise's eyes popped open, the dark gray orbs struggling to focus. She moved her head so she could get a good look at Caden. What was he talking about?
"Huh? What?"
"I'm sorry, but we will probably destroy these sheets and maybe the mattress when I take you. When we mate and I make you as I am, there is a good chance that we will lose control. There's no telling what damage will be done."
Elise brows furrowed in deep thought. She had paid a lot for the bed and it had taken her months to find the exact right sheets and comforter to compliment her walls and the general color scheme of her house. They were probably out of stock…but, she really didn't give a damn at the moment. Caden was rock hard and pressing against her mound…and her stomach. What was a bed when she could have the man of her dreams deep inside of her, bringing her to more of those outstanding, earth-shattering orgasms that she had grown accustomed to during their interludes earlier?
"Caden, as long as you promise to repaint my walls, buy me a new bed, complete with covers and sheets, then I'll let you and your wolf go wild."
Caden chuckled deeply, his voice affected by his wolf's closeness to the surface. It wouldn't be long before he took over, so Caden got back to work. "As you wish, sweet."
His lips pressed against hers briefly before he moved again, planting butterfly kisses along his path downward. He paused to run his tongue over her jugular, nipping softly at the softness of her shoulder. He tried to ignore his previous bite and the way Elise shifted to expose more of her neck to him. If he thought about it too much, he would lose control. He ran his hands down her arms, locking his fingers with hers and bringing their interlocked hands to rest above her head.
"Leave these here. Don't move them."
