The Designated Mate novel Chapter 67

There wasn't a single item of clothing that needed to be removed from either of us as we usually slept naked; something I'd begun doing when I realized how amazing it felt to have his skin pressed against mine all night. It also made our middle-of-the-night rendezvous much easier as they happened multiple times nearly every single night.

Knox held his body up with the one hand while allowing the other to trail from my cheek, down my neck, over my already-sensitive breasts, to my tightening belly, before finally slipping between my dripping folds. I dug my nails into his shoulders as his fingers explored me while simultaneously coating themselves in my slick juices. A throaty moan slipped from between my lips as he sunk a single finger into my heat all the way to the knuckle. I bit my lip as he began a steady rhythm that had my breath quickening. He added a second finger a minute later, his thick digits stretching me deliciously as he began massaging my walls with the tips. He increased his pace, bringing me right to the brink of ecstasy before slowing to a stop and pulling them out. I wanted to whine in annoyance, but I stopped myself when I felt him press his blunt tip against my entrance.

I licked my lips and moaned out his name as he slid into me inch after inch. I clenched my thighs around his hips when he finally bottomed out inside me, the sensation of being stuffed so full almost too much to bear. Being with him was like the first time every time. He began pumping into me at a torturously slow pace while bringing the fingers he'd teased me with up to my lips. I opened my mouth and welcomed them in immediately, swirling my tongue around them sensually and tasting myself as he growled in pleasure. He pulled the fingers from my mouth after I'd sufficiently cleaned them and set the hand down against the mattress to mirror his other.

Sliding my hands up from where they'd been resting on his shoulders, I grasped his cheeks and pulled his face down until our foreheads were pressing against one another. He stared into my eyes as his fingers dug into the mattress for leverage, his thrusts becoming deeper and harder as the moment became more intense. Staring into his eyes, I was almost overwhelmed at the amount of love I saw shining in them. And it was all for me. A single tear slipped down the side of my cheek as the moment encompassed my entire being, never once breaking eye contact with Knox as he continued to drive into me.

I wanted to speak, to tell him all the things I was feeling in that moment, but I was so hypnotized by him, and my love for him, that I couldn't get the words out. When I tried, all I vocalized was a loud moan of pleasure. Knox groaned in response before nodding his head just the slightest bit, letting me know he was feeling everything I was feeling too. With a few final thrusts, I was on cloud nine. My orgasm washed over my entire body, my toes curling against the back of Knox's thighs. My release triggered Knox's own a few seconds later as I felt his cum scorch my insides, causing a second mini orgasm to take hold of me.

I glanced over at Jason, Grace's mate, sitting next to me. He'd agreed instantly when I'd called and requested both his and Grace's assistance in our plan. They'd also decided to permanently stay with our pack to continue helping me in my search for my parents. Grace was still in their old pack boxing up their things and tying up loose ends in order to make the move. I hadn't told Poppy yet as I wanted it to be a surprise.

I was thankful for Poppy more than she would ever know or understand. She'd paved the way for the mostly-formal friendship I had with both Jason and Grace and helped me secure the resources I needed to finish what I'd been working towards practically my whole life. Without her, I wouldn't be in the position I was now; closer to finding my parents than I'd ever been before, my long-lost sister by my side.
