The cooking show was still playing–some contestant having a meltdown about timing–but I wasn’t paying attention anymore. Grace’s hands had started wandering.

It began innocently. Her fingers tracing patterns on my chest through my shirt while we watched TV. Then sliding under the fabric. Then exploring with the kind of deliberate curiosity that made my breath catch.

“Grace” I started.

She kissed me. Soft at first, then deeper. Her body shifting to press against mine more fully.

I should have stopped it. Should have reminded her we were supposed to be watching mindless TV and eating pizza, not—this.

But she needed this. I could feel it in the desperate way she kissed me. The way her hands pulled at my shirt like she needed the barrier gone. The way her whole body was seeking comfort through touch.

And I needed her. Needed to hold her and love her and show her physically what I couldn’t quite express in words–that she was mine, I was hers, we were together no matter what extremists threatened.

I kissed her back. Let my hands slide into her hair, down her back, pulling her closer. She made a small sound against my mouth that shot straight through me.

“Connor-” Her voice was breathless. Wanting. “I need–I need you. Need to feel something other than fear and guilt. Need to feel us.”

“Grace, are you sure? We don’t have to-

“I’m sure.” She pulled back to look at my face. Her eyes were dark. Determined. “Connor, I’m eighteen. You’re eighteen. We’re mates. And I need–I need this. Need you. Need to feel alive and loved instead of scared and guilty.”

That decided it.

I kissed her harder, rolling so she was beneath me. Her hands were already pulling at my shirt, getting it over my head, touching bare skin with fingers that trembled slightly.

I went hard. Immediately, completely hard in a way that should have been embarrassing but just felt—right. Natural. My mate touching me, wanting me, needing this connection.

Her moans made it worse. Made me harder than I’d ever been in my life. Small sounds of pleasure as I kissed her neck, her collarbone, working my way down while my hands explored.

“Connor She arched into my touch. “Please don’t tease

I need

“I know what you need.” I kissed her again, deep and claiming “Grace, I’m going to- overcome by want and need and the feel of my mate beneath me.

Her hands found my belt, fumbling with the buckle. “Off. Connor, I need

need all of you

I helped her. Got the belt undone, started working on my jeans while she pulled at her own clothes with the kind of urgency that said this wasn’t just want this was need. Physical, emotional, desperate need to feel connected.

She was down to her underwear when she pulled me back down wrapped around my waist, pulling me close, and the feel of her wanting me

Kissed me with enough heat to make my head spin. Her legs the scent, the warmth, the perfect rightness of my mate
