Firefighter Griffin (Fire & Rescue Shifters 3)

“Mine.” Pushing her bra up, he freed her nipples for his hungry mouth. Hayley arched against him, gasping. He took advantage of the motion to unhook her bra, jerking it roughly off. Waves of pleasure pulsed through her core as he sucked hard at first one nipple, then the other.

“Griff!” she cried out, tightening her legs around his waist as her climax surged closer.

Before she peaked, though, he released her, pushing her flat against the bed with one hand. “Wait.”

Unbelievably, her body obeyed the flex of alpha power in his voice. He held her on the very brink of orgasm, every part of her throbbing with frustrated need. She writhed, desperate for release, but was helpless under his strength.

His teeth gleamed in a satisfied smile. Lifting his weight off her, he ran his hand lightly down from her breastbone to the curving swells of her stomach. Trails of fire ignited on her skin. She sobbed at the unbearable pleasure, still held back from climax by his alpha command.

He worked his way lower, spreading her legs. He traced her dripping folds so lightly, she wasn’t even sure he was even touching her. Even that faint, barely-there caress echoed through every part of her oversensitive body. She was blinded by need, aware of nothing except him.

“Griff, please!” Her fists clenched in the sheets. “Please, please, now!”

He moved away, and she sobbed helplessly, utterly bereft at the loss of his heat against her skin. His eyes still held her, demanding her complete submission. She couldn’t reach for him, couldn’t move, couldn’t do anything except watch as he stood back.

Tantalizingly slowly, he undid the belt of his kilt. The heavy fabric dropped away, revealing his proud, straining cock. He was so erect, the swollen head brushed his rigid abs. A pearl of eager moisture glistened on his tip, showing how hard he was having to hold himself back. Nonetheless, his hands moved leisurely, stripping away his clothes with maddening slowness.

Unhurriedly, he spread her legs wide, kneeling between them. His tip pressed against her opening as he covered her body with his, pinning her wrists above her head with his hands. Hayley wanted to

squirm, to slide down and take him inside her throbbing passage, but he held her absolutely motionless.

“Mine,” he repeated, one last time.

She exploded around him as at last, at last, he thrust into her. That single stroke tipped her into a climax more powerful than any she’d ever known. She wrapped around him, taking him into her soul even as she welcomed him into her body. His pleasure was hers, as hers was his, until she couldn’t tell the difference between them. At last, they were one.

When she came back to herself, completely limp and undone by the intensity of the experience, she could still feel him in her head. His deep, utter satisfaction and joy glowed in her soul. It was a fire that she knew would never go out, a secret warmth that would last all the rest of their days.

*Oh,* she thought in wonder, and knew that he heard her as clearly as if she’d whispered in his ear. *So that’s what it’s like.*

His chuckle rumbled through her bones. He rolled off her, pulling her to spoon against him, her backside fitting into the curve of his body as if they’d been made for each other. *Aye. We’re truly mated now.*

“Mmm.” Hayley snuggled back against him, delicious tiredness weighing down her limbs. “Do you think we made a baby?” she asked out loud.

“Too early to tell. But the chances are good.” He kissed her shoulder. “And if not this time…well, we’ll just have to keep practicing, won’t we?”

She giggled, closing her eyes in utter contentment. “I wonder what our children will turn out to be. Griffins, like you? Or will some of them be lions, and some eagles?”

“I know what they will be.” His hand traced soft, reverent spirals on her belly. “They’ll be loved.”

I’m planning to eventually write about all the shifters on Alpha Team, but who would you like to see next: the mysterious Hugh, or the sea dragon shifter John Doe? Let me know in your review, or leave me a message on my Facebook page!

If you’d like to read more about the Fire & Rescue Shifters, there are two previous books in the series:

Firefighter Dragon. (Fire & Rescue Shifters # 1) A curvy archaeologist with the find of a lifetime + a firefighter dragon shifter battling his instincts + a priceless artifact coveted by a ruthless rival = one blazing hot adventure!

Firefighter Pegasus (Fire & Rescue Shifters # 2) A curvy pilot wary of flighty men + a firefighter pegasus shifter determined to win her heart + a high speed air race with even higher stakes = one explosive romance!

(All the Fire & Rescue Shifter books are standalone and can be read in any order, but I recommend reading in series order for maximum enjoyment!)
