His grip on her lessened slightly, and she immediately took it as her cue to pull away and lead them back to the bedroom. Xenon followed instantly, his eyes never straying from hers. His claws kept emerging and retracting as he fought for control.

Rayena reached the edge of the bed and was about to ask what next when she changed her mind. There was no use in delaying the inevitable. Xenon wanted her.

Her hands went to the straps of her gown, and she swiftly pulled it off her body, letting it pool at her feet. She stood there, bare, shivering as Xenon’s gaze raked over her, his hunger evident in his eyes. With a snarl, he rushed up to her, carrying her effortlessly and depositing her on the bed.

The windows rattled as a cool breeze from the storm filled the room, goosebumps rising on her skin.

With a savage growl, Xenon joined her on the bed, spreading her legs and weaving his body between them. “Want you… want you… want you…” he murmured, sounding mindless.

“I’m here…” Rayena breathed, her eyes shining with affection for this male. “Take what you need.”

At those softly spoken words, Xenon snapped out of the trance he seemed to have slipped into. He looked down at her now, taking in the sight of her spread out beneath him in the dark—so damn gorgeous and vulnerable and completely his in this moment—and his heart stuttered in his chest.

“Rayena?”

Rayena blinked at him, unexpected relief flooding through her as awareness returned to his gaze. “Xenon!” she called out, reaching for him.

“Wha… what happened?” he asked, catching one of her hands and bringing it to his lips, pressing soft kisses against it and breathing in her scent.

“You were stuck in a rut,” she murmured, pulling herself closer to him, arousal thrumming through her veins.

“I am…” Xenon murmured, his voice low.

“But…” she began, then cut herself short, hesitant. When she spoke again, her voice was much stronger. “But it feels different this time around.”

“That’s because my tiger is in alignment with the needs of my wolf,” he murmured, hovering over her, pressing soft kisses into her neck, jaw, and shoulders.

“Both of them? Both of them want…?” He cut her off before she could finish.

“Yes. Both of them want you.”

“How… how would that go?” she stammered, a sliver of fear running down her spine.

“I have no idea…” he groaned, moving up to her forehead, then trailing kisses down her nose, his lower body already grinding against her abdomen. Rayena bit back the moan building in her throat, trying to listen to him. “But I’m assuming both beasts would want to be intimate with you, so I might… I might be going into half-shifts.” he informed her.

“Oh…” Rayena murmured, her heart racing.

Xenon gave a soft growl, his hands gripping her hands and locking them around his neck. “I want you, Rayena. I can’t… I can’t hold it back any longer,” he gritted through clenched teeth, his body tense.

Rayena touched his body, feeling the muscles rippling beneath her hands, the faint tremors beneath his skin. He was holding back for her. Thunder rolled low, and the air in the room felt charged, heavy with something primal.

She let out a shuddering breath and nodded, locking her gaze with his.

“It’s okay… I’m all yours. Take all you need.”

The words had barely left her lips when Xenon pounced on her. He kissed her hard, his tongue darting into her mouth—heady and possessive, tasting and claiming. Rayena gave a startled moan that he swallowed, a sharp snarl ripping from his lips.

Desire so intense crashed over her, pulling her under as her body warmed with anticipation. She felt completely consumed by him.

His hands suddenly began moving again, one sliding up along her thigh while the other came around to cup the small curve of her hip possessively as he finally spoke again—his voice gravelly and thick with need now.

"Xenon.. I need you." She breathed out, eyes glazed over.

“Yeah? You sure about that?” he murmured, his breath hot against her lips, his eyes losing the blue, amber dancing around the edges. “I will be rough.”

“I can take it,” she muttered, her voice filled with quiet confidence.

“Then I’ll give it to you,” he murmured, before claiming her lips in another possessive kiss, slipping from barely human back into something animalistic. The sounds escaping her—those shudders and moans he’s so intimately familiar with by now—were like a damn siren’s call to him. He couldn’t help the way his hips twitched upward instinctively, seeking more contact even though he hadn’t fully undressed himself yet.

This—this was what he’d been craving all damn day, and now that he’d finally gotten a taste… he was desperate for more.

His wolf was raging, banging against his chest, eager to be joined with their woman, and so was his tiger.

“Fuck… fuck!” he snarled, forcing himself to pull back. “You have no idea just how addictive you are,” he growled watching as her eyes glazed with lust.

“Take me…” Rayena murmured, already breathless, her lips swollen from the way he’d kissed her.

He hurriedly pulled down his breeches, freeing his arousal. It sprang out, thick and lined with veins and—oh… so beautiful. Rayena’s mouth watered as her gaze caught on that part of him, hard and proud. She swallowed the saliva that had gathered in her mouth, her body already shuddering with need.

In a single, fluid motion, he grabbed her legs and hooked them higher around his waist—angling her into exactly the position he needed her to be in—and then it was like something snapped inside him. All the tension, all the restraint he’d been trying so damn hard to hold back vanished in an instant. He was past the point of gentleness now… now it was raw, primal need taking over.

With one hard, forceful thrust, he buried himself to the hilt, groaning as she tightened around him, heat seeping into his bones and wiping him of every thought.

Rayena whined, arching her spine as she tried to adjust to him, but he gave her no chance.

He began pounding into her, every stroke, every plunge into her depths drawing pure, unadulterated pleasure from him. Fuck—if he wasn’t so damned ravenous, he would lose control right then and there.

“Oh, Xe… mmm… ah!” Unintelligible sounds spilled from her lips, spiking his need for her. There was no way he could hold back now, not when his beasts were clawing at his chest, eager to claim her, to really bind her to him.

“Turn around. On all fours,” he ordered in a guttural voice, pulling out of her.
