Chapter 557
Sage carried Katelyn up with his strong arms, his fingers pressing on her hips while her hands circled around his neck as he took them toward the bedroom.
“To the left,” Katelyn gasped as she withdrew momentarily from the kiss to give him direction.
Sage hurried toward the room, his mouth finding her neck as he planted soft, gentle kisses there. She gasped lowly, her nails digging into his shirt every time he would suck on her skin. With his other hand, he expertly removed the clutch, freeing her long hair to cascade around them.
Katelyn felt her back meet the soft mattress while he hovered over her. His hand stroked the top of her head, his eyes lingering on hers in a moment of tender intensity.
“Do you really want it to happen?” His eyes moved down to her lips, finding it seductive the way she licked them in anticipation.
“Yeah,” Katelyn answered, her voice trembling slightly. “My wolf also wants it. What about you?” Her right hand slowly came to the front, pressing on his chest, thus feeling the thunderous rhythm of his heartbeats.
“You know my answer,” Sage replied, his gaze darkening with possessiveness. “My wolf and I want to unite with you. We want to brand you with our mark, claim you completely,” he muttered in a deep, possessive tone that sent a shiver of excitement down her spine.
“Then, don’t stop,” Katelyn urged, her eyes pleading. “But it’s my first time. So, be gentle,” she asserted, vulnerability lacing her tone.
“I’ll be as gentle as possible,” Sage replied, his voice a low promise. His lips landed on her sharp jawline, peppering soft, intentional kisses down the line to her chin, creating a delicate path of sensation. His hands stroked the silk of her thighs before finding the hem of the long skirt and slowly moving it up, gathering the fabric.
The scent of their pheromones heightened, surrounding them in their intoxicating magic as they both grew even more aroused. Katelyn’s eyes would sparkle silver, the sign of her wolf responding, every time his fingers would brush against her skin.
“Ahh!” She whimpered sharply when his teeth lightly grazed her sensitive skin, bringing an immediate gasp as he followed it up by licking the spot, soothing the sudden sting. She felt his one hand reaching the band of her panties, but he held back, waiting for her readiness, while the other hand moved up to her breast.
“Sage,” she called out his name, her eyes shutting, the sensation overwhelming.
“We need to get rid of your clothes,” Sage said, his voice raw. Before Katelyn knew what was happening, he expertly pulled at the top, his speed surprising her. He removed her blouse first, revealing the beautiful curves hiding underneath a lace bra.
“You tore my—” Katelyn couldn’t finish the last word as he captured her mouth in a deep, consuming kiss at the very moment her complaint was forming.
He pulled back just an inch, his eyes glowing with passion. “I’ll buy a new dress for you. Ten new dresses,” Sage stated, dismissing the triviality of the garment. He lowered his gaze, lingering on the exposed skin before leaning down. He pressed soft, reverent kisses on her belly, moving up slowly while making sure to enjoy every moment they were sharing, savoring the intimacy.
“I want the same… Nhg A loud moan escaped her mouth when his mouth found the peak of her breast, the satin of her bra no barrier to his intent. She looked at him, her eyes turning wide and a deep flush appeared on her cheeks.
“Sage, what are you… Mmmm… Ahnh Again she moaned, unable to contain herself as he stroked his fingers on her core, finding her undeniable readiness through the thin silk of her panties. Within the brief moment, she realized her mind had completely electrocuted, as the sensation was too overwhelming.
Suddenly, she brought her hands to his chest, pushing him a little away. “It’s wrong. Only I’m undressed,” she complained, her voice breathless.
Sage smirked, his eyes gleaming. “Then do it,” he said, his focus purely on her. “You know you look too beautiful like this, Kate. Your eyes are so expressive,” he murmured, his gaze loving. He brought her hands to his shirt. “Unbutton them quickly p>
Katelyn did what he asked, her fingers fumbling slightly, biting her bottom lip when his thumb pressed lightly against it.
“Don’t bite like that. It turns me on,” Sage warned, a deep thrumming entering his voice.
“You don’t have control over your urges. Do you always stay She paused, again focusing on unbuttoning the shirt.
“Around you I easily get turned on. Is it wrong to feel like that when my mate is so close?” Sage questioned when Katelyn undid the last button too.
Katelyn’s hands were trembling slightly, but with a final tug, she pulled the edges of his shirt apart and pushed it off his shoulders, letting it fall forgotten to the floor.
She gasped, not just at his physique, but at the sculpted chest, the hard ridges of muscle across his abdomen, and also the Alpha mark visible just below his collarbone. She had only seen it glimpsed before, but now, exposed, it radiated a subtle heat that seemed to call to her own wolf.
She didn’t need further prompting. Her hands, emboldened, traced the contours of his body, lingering on the hot, firm skin she had yearned for.
“I didn’t see it before. I think after finding a mate in you I can see it,” Katelyn said, her fingers brushing on it.
“Yeah. Only my mate can see it,” Sage answered. “You’ll bear the same mark, Kate, when I’ll mark you p>
“Then, do it, Sage. Don’t deprive me of it,” Katelyn stated as she propped up on her elbows and kissed his lips softly. Then, she moved to his tanned neck. She leaned forward, pressing soft kisses across his chest, her own primal desires now fully unleashed.
Sage let out a deep, satisfied groan, the sensation of her lips on his skin dissolving his last thread of patience.
