CHAPTER 157 Hers

  ~ CARA ~

  I clutched him to my breast, choking his name. “Rig… Rig.”

  “I’m here, babe. Just breathe.” But he never stopped kissing me, never stopped stroking, draw, those tingling pleasures out of my skin.

  And with every twitch and instinct, I held him—held him in my arms and in my mind.

  My mate. Mine. Husband. Lover. Forever.

  As desire grew urgent and my body began to ripple, he soothed me with kisses, touched anything I pressed closer, whispered reassurance until I was trembling with the drive for him.

  He raised his head once from his trail down my stomach, held my gaze, and growled, “Mine.”

  Everything inside me answered, yes. Then the animal inside me… surrendered.

  I blinked and no longer saw the world through different eyes.

  I breathed and no longer fed two hearts, two sets of lungs.

  I could feel the claws pressing under my skin, but they obeyed when I demanded retreat.
