Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted novel Chapter 297

297 Ava: Marked 

There’s something different in his kiss, in the way his fingers dig into my skin. Every stroke of 

hands has his eyes half–closed, a low groaning rumble spilling from his throat. 

The power I hold with my touch leaves me fascinated, even as a heat deep within urges me to lie back and let him claim me. 

Exploring the velvet heat of him is thrilling, but he yanks my hands off his cock and flips me over, trapping me beneath the weight of his body. 

“Stop,” he growls against my ear. “Or this’ll be over before it even starts.” 

My laughter is breathless and quickly turns into a moan as his lips trall kisses down my back. There’s a fire building inside me, spreading through my veins like a drug. I’m so sensitive to his touch, the pleasure is almost painful. 

I want to claw my skin off. To meld into his body until we’re one. I want him to kiss everywhere. at once. He doesn’t have enough hands for the desire exploding through me, the wetness pooling between my legs. 

His hands grip my hips, fingers digging in hard, probably leaving bruises. I shove my ass back, wanting contact. Wanting him inside. 

I can’t handle any more teasing. 

His whisper is hot and dark against my ear. “You like this, don’t you? Knowing how much I want you?” 

My throat is dry, and I can barely think straight as the bond between us pulses with need. “Yes,” 1 rasp out. “Please, Lucas.” 

The side of my neck is on fire, wanting his attention. Wanting his kisses, the warmth of his tongue, his teeth. Desperate to be marked. 

A low curse escapes his lips, and then his hand is around my throat, leaving my heart fluttering in my chest. The strength in his fingers is a thrill, as if my life is in his hands. 

His knee pries my legs apart as he yanks my hips further back, his cock nudging against my entrance. “Mine,” he grits out. 

“Yours,” I whisper, arching my head back and thrusting my neck further into his grasp. His fingers tighten for a moment, making me shudder beneath his grasp. 

“Mine,” he growls again, and I whimper as he thrusts into me, filling me with a harsh, primal need that matches my own. 

I can’t think beyond raw, blazing pleasure, like fire raging beneath my skin. The way he holds onto my throat, the way into the tender skin of my hips–it makes me ache

for his mark. His bite. 

For the pain and pleasure. 

I need it.

I want to be his in every sense of the word. I want him to dominate me–to take what’s his. I can’t speak, I can barely breathe as our bodies merge and my desire burns hotter than ever before. 

I love the possessive way he holds me, the way he growls against my neck as our bodies find a brutal rhythm. His thrusts are hungry and desperate, just like mine. He fills me, stretches me, sears every inch of my body with his need. 

I can feel his teeth graze my neck again, a promise of what’s to come. “Ava,” he grunts, his voice raw, and I know he’s struggling to hold back. “I need–fuck, I need to=” 

I can barely hear him through the blood pounding in my ears, through the exhilarating joy of the bond that’s screaming for him to mark me. “Please, Lucas. Please. Take me. Make me yours.” 

His body tenses above me, every muscle strained as his control snaps. With a low, guttural snarl, his teeth sink into my neck, claiming me as his mate. 

It’s blinding–the pleasure and pain merge into something indescribable. I can feel his teeth dragging across my flesh, the searing fire of his mark, the way it burns. 

My back arches off the bed, my body trembling, every nerve screaming, and it feels like I’m flying apart. His name tears from my throat as the world shatters and reforms around us. I’m drowning in sensation, in the bond that’s crying out for completion.

It’s not just lust and desire anymore–it’s a deep, unbreakable link. Our souls are intertwined, 

and I can feel him as surely as I feel myself. The emptiness in my head shatters as the warmth of his presence intrudes. 

And something else. The faint sense of something missing finally returning. A voice I don’t recognize, but unmistakable in its source. 

His wolf surges forward with a deep growl, and I can feel his golden eyes in my head as Lucas slams into me again, pleasure coming now from both mind and body.

Ava? Selene’s voice has my heart flipping with joy. I see you’ve finalized the bond. 

Lucas goes stiff. “That voice–is that your wolf?” 

“Selene. Yes.” 

Glad I didn’t get here a few moments ago, Selene mutters. That would have been awkward. 

A laugh bubbles up in my chest. Are you almost here? 

Almost. Soon. She sounds annoyed, and I can distinctly sense Lucas‘ wolf trying to get her
