Leo’s POV

Raven lowers her hand from her face, and I see the damage she suffered from the fall in the forest. She is still under the shadows of the tree canopy. She wraps her arm around her chest and twists her legs, trying to cover her most private parts.

I stroll over to her and tilt her head to the side. The skin on her cheek is broken and oozing b***d. “Little Bird,” I whisper in shock. “I didn’t realize the fall was that bad. Let’s turn around and get you some help.”

“Don’t be silly,” Raven says, trying to be strong. “It is just an abrasion. I will survive.”

I c**k my head to the side as I study her. Raven’s body is shaking with pain. She squeals loudly as I scoop her into my arms and carry her back into the forest.

“Please,” Raven giggles as she twists in my arms. “I don’t want to go back. I want to see what you wanted to show me.”

“You are injured,” I grunt as I try not to lose my grip on her as she wiggles around.

Letting out a huff of protest, Raven wraps her arms around my neck. Chewing on her bottom l*p, I can tell she is deep in thought. Just as I am about to ask her what she is thinking about, she presses her lips to mine. I stop walking and gasp at the feeling of her lips on mine. Raven doesn’t miss the opportunity to slide her tongue into my mouth. Hesitantly, her tongue caresses mine.

A low purr erupts from my chest as she k****s me. She rarely takes charge of a s****l situation, and it is a major turn-on.

Holding onto her tightly, I let my tongue brush against hers, but I allow her to stay in charge. The scent of her arousal is peppering the forest, and my c**k springs to life.

Raven breaks away from the k**s. She is panting as her chest heaves up and down with desire. “I want you,” she whispers.

“We are so far from the pack house,” I practically whimper.

“Not there,” she says with a sly look. “By the lake.”

She doesn’t have to ask me twice. I turn around with her in my arms and trek back to the crystal lake. As I break through the forest canopy, Raven wiggles out of my arms. Her feet touch the soft grass on the bank of the lake, and she laughs playfully. I reach out to pull her back toward me, but Raven takes off running toward the lake.

Her raven-colored hair is flowing beautifully behind her as she runs. She glances over her shoulder and flashes me a broad smile. Stopping just shy of the water’s edge, Raven turns to me and beckons me forward with her finger. I watch as she steps back into the water. A shiver runs up her spine as she dips her feet into the cool water, but it doesn’t stop her from going deeper.

My Little Bird wants to play. I smirk to myself as I think about how much I am going to enjoy this. Every fiber of my being wants to run to her, but I don’t. I stalk my way toward the lake, not taking my eyes off of Raven’s. Her bright blue eyes twinkle with excitement the closer I get to her.

She stops in the water when she is about thigh-deep. Her arms sway back and forth beside her, letting her fingertips graze the water’s surface. I stop at the water’s edge and marvel at the beauty of my mate. I can’t believe I ever took another woman to bed. I should have waited for her like Oliver did.

Luca huffs in my mind. ‘It is time to show her what real love-making is.’

And I know that he is right. I am going to finally claim my mate on the banks of the beautiful lake. I don’t care if it is still daylight outside. I don’t care if someone catches us, and I don’t believe she cares, either.

“Are you coming in?” She says in a seductive voice.

I dip my toes into the water and instantly reject asking her for a swim. The water is freezing, but I refuse to let a little bit of cold water stop me from getting to my mate.

I traipse through the water and find myself standing in front of Raven. She doesn’t try to get away from me. She just stands there looking into my eyes. Wrapping my arm around her waist, I pull her through the water until her chest is flush with mine. I firmly palm one of her breasts, and she throws her head back and m***s loudly.

“Leo,” she whispers. “Please.”

“Please, what?” I say as I lead her out of the water.

“I want to claim you,” she whispers.

“I will be the one doing the claiming,” I tell her.

Once we reach the bank of the lake, I lift Raven and gently lay her on the ground. She spreads her legs and allows me to settle between them. I trail my fingers over her skin, leaving the tingles of the mate bond in their wake. Starting at her knee, I run my fingers up the inside of her thigh, stopping just shy of her core. I can feel the heat pulsating off of her as she waits patiently for my touch.

Slowly, I let my fingers spread her folds, and I dip a finger into her core. I pump my finger in and out slowly, groaning at how tight she is. Even though she has already taken Oliver, I fear I may still hurt her. My finger comes out of her core, dripping with her juices, and I know she is ready for me.

“Please,” she whimpers again.

I remove my finger from her core and line my member up with her opening. I swipe the tip of my c**k over her slit, and she arches her back off the soft grass beneath her. I press myself against her core, but Raven presses against me with her hands.

I pause, praying she hasn’t changed her mind. Raven’s eyes are wide with anticipation. “Be gentle,” she begs, and I know she is worried I will hurt her as well.

Slowly, I ease myself into her core. “Goddess, you are tight,” I g***n as I press myself into her.

I pause, allowing Raven to adjust to my size. She raises her h**s up and down as she stretches to accommodate my girth.

“More,” she breathes out, and I thrust myself into her.

Raven calls out in either pain or pleasure; it is hard to tell, but she doesn’t beg me to stop. I continue to move myself in and out of her gently, but Raven is clawing at my back, begging for more.

“I don’t want to hurt you,” I tell her, but Raven snakes her arm around my neck, pulling me closer.

She presses her lips to mine. This time, the k**s isn’t tentative. It is hungry and desperate. I growl as she takes my bottom l*p between her teeth and gives it a little tug. She begins to tighten around me, and I know that she is close to finding her release. I am no longer able to hold back, and it is clear that Raven doesn’t want me to.

I thrust myself into her core, fast and harder. Her h**s rise to meet each one of my movements. “Leo,” she whimpers, her p***y clamps down on me.

“Come for me, Little Bird,” I say as she quivers beneath me.

Raven calls out my name and tangles her fingers in my hair. She pulls my neck closer and sinks her canines into my flesh. The tether between us snaps into place, and I can feel all of her emotions through the bond. She swipes her tongue over my neck, and my release is close behind.

With one final thrust into her, I empty my seed within. “Now you are truly mine,” I grunt into her ear as I come.
