Part of me wants to slow down, to savor this first time with her, but the screaming need that has been coursing through me for four days now overrides all conscious thought. Crawling further up the bed, aligning our bodies, I break the kiss and look down at the gorgeous woman beneath me. Ava stares back at me, her blue eyes blazing, lips red and swollen from our kisses, she’s the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen.
“Ava.” I groan, my body aching to press forward, to complete the connection we have been building. It’s more than I can explain, more than I could have ever expected. I need her. All of her.
“Kaden, Please.” She whimpers, her voice husky and rough with need. She clings to me, griping my shoulders and rolling her hips beneath me, begging for any friction between us. The slide of her scorching wet heat against my cock is enough to make my eyes roll back. Gritting my teeth, I tense every muscle in my body, needing to drag this out as long as possible. I know once we start, there will be no stopping us. Once we start, she will claim me. She’ll bite me. I want it, I need it, without a doubt in my mind I know I need to feel her claim me. When I don’t make my move, she digs her fingers into my back, her eyes pleading with me. “Please.”
“Fuck, you beg so sweet.” I growl as I sink into her with one long thrust, my restraint snapping. The pleasure of sliding into her, so hot, so wet, so tight, is enough to steal my breath and make my eyes cross. It’s like nothing I’ve felt before. “Perfect. So fucking perfect baby.” I breathe, trying to regain even the smallest hold on myself to keep from coming right then and there. With aching slowness, I pull back until only the barest tip of my cock is still wrapped up in her, before thrusting forward again, seating myself fully within her.
Ava cries out, burying her face in my neck as I pull back once again and drive deep, setting a relentless pace. There is no finesse in this coupling, our bodies joining in the most primal way. This is all gripping hands, nipping, biting, and driving need. Ava claws at my shoulders, struggling to find purchase as my thrusts get even more urgent. She moans my name against my skin, her teeth sinking into my shoulder, marking me. Fuck, the idea of having her mark on my skin, wearing her claim, it damn near pushes me over the edge.
Something changes the moment her teeth break the skin at my throat, what my brain tells me should be painful, explodes like a thousand tiny points of light behind my eyes. If I thought just being inside her was intense, it has nothing compared to this pleasure. My heart seems to speed up, skittering and missing a beat or two, then slows, syncing with hers. I don’t know how I know it; I just do. With that bite, our hearts beat as one, she owns me.

Ava
I really need to send Neo a bouquet or something. If he hadn’t left us alone this afternoon, I never would have been able to make it through the heist tonight. I can’t think of a time in my life where I felt this relaxed and at peace.
Kaden and I went round after round for hours this afternoon, only finally coming up for air when Neo came back with dinner. Thank fuck shifters don’t have the same puritanical hang ups about sex as humans do, or I’d never be able to look Neo in the eyes again after he walked in on us while Kaden had me bent over the back of the couch, spanking my ass as he pounded into me for the… fifth time? Or was it the sixth? Doesn’t matter, all I know is I lost count of how many orgasms my mate gave me, and I am one contented kitty.
My mate. Fuck, just thinking about him makes me smile now. But I need to focus. I’ve already bypassed the main security system in Burns’ house, which did not start playing La Cucaracha thankfully (you never really know with Neo) and I’m just getting to his office. Kaden should be at city hall by now, keeping Burns busy while I do my thing and get out. Padding into the office, I shift back into my human form and make my way around the massive ebony wood desk. Pulling a small USB drive from my cheek, I grumble under my breath about needing a better way to carry things while shifted next time and plug it into the laptop sitting onto of the desk. I type in the command code Neo had me memorize to trigger whatever voodoo he worked to hack into… I don’t even know; I can’t follow the tech stuff Neo goes on about. He thinks there is info on the laptop, so this stick is supposed to get it for us, that’s all I needed to know.
Turning to the wall behind the desk, I remove the giant ugly ass self-portrait hanging there and slides it aside. It sinks behind the bookcase next to it, revealing a large wall safe. With a smile I crack my knuckles and get to work.
Honestly, I expected this to be difficult, but the safe isn’t even digital like most private residences have now. I’m sure Burns was going for the “unhackable” approach but come on, old school tumblers are no match for shifter hearing. In no time flat I have the heavy door swinging open and reach inside to dig through the three banker’s boxes
