Chapter 47

Adrian.

“Adrian, please, we need to slow down,” Poppy pleads.

I look down at her and can see fear in her eyes. She doesn’t need to be afraid.

“I’ve waited so long for this moment; I don’t know how much longer I can control my urges and needs,” I admit to her.

Poppy blushes.

“I know, it’s just. I’ve never.”

She’s never what?

Poppy covers her face with her hands to hide her embarrassment when she admits to me, “I’m a virgin.”

My chest fills with pride and excitement, knowing that I’m the first wolf to be taking her virginity. Her mate, the only man she’ll ever be with.

“I need you to be gentle with me. I’m not like the other girls you’ve slept with.”

My brows furrow when I can hear the pain in her voice when she talks about the other woman that I’ve been with.

I will do whatever she needs me to do to make her first time an enjoyable one for her. I pull her hands away from her face and rub the back of my hand against her cheek. “I will be as gentle as you need me to be,” I tell her.

She nods her head, but I can still sense her nervousness.

I lower myself back down and gently kiss her lips. I move my hand back in between her legs and rub her gently to build her back up slowly.

Poppy’s breaths quicken as she arches her back and drags her nails down the length of my arms.

I wince at the sharpness of her nails as they pierce my skin; I release a groan in enjoyment and continue to play with her.

Oh, this girl of mine.

I pull my head back to watch her as she gets close to finishing. She has her eyes closed while she pants as she gets closer to her release.

“Open your eyes,” I command.

Poppy opens her eyes, and I watch her as she reaches her climax and releases herself all over my fingers.

I smirk as she looks at me and giggles while coming down from her euphoric adventure.

Poppy bites on her lower lip before wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me down on her to kiss me. She begins to moan as she opens her mouth and runs her tongue against my lips. I open my mouth to let her in. Our kissing becomes more heated and rampant.

She starts to tear her clothes off as I do the same.

I stare down at the beautiful girl beneath me and smile. However, I am curious about how this will all go with our extreme height and weight difference.

Poppy pulls me back down onto her and kisses me eagerly. She’s getting all ramped up, and like a moth to the flame, I follow her, leaving all logic and reason behind.

I slide my hand in between our bodies to make sure that she’s ready for me. Poppy twitches beneath me when my fingers dance against her skin.

I smirk as a possessive growl rumbles in my chest, and without a second thought, I slip inside her.

Poppy lets out a whimper as she takes me inside her. I keep still and don’t move until I know that she’s ready for more. She adjusts herself beneath me and begins to move her hips against me. I start to move slowly with her, allowing her to set the pace.

Poppy begins to move faster as her nails dig into my skin. I let out a groan while continuing to push myself deeper into her and allowing our bodies to push themselves to be one with each other.

Poppy lets out a moan, and it drives me to move faster inside her.

I feel my wolf trying to edge his way to the surface in an attempt to take over so that he can feel this experience with our mate, too.

I look down at Poppy, and I see her eyes are glowing silver. I guess her wolf wants the same thing. I can’t help but smile, knowing how long our wolves have been waiting for this moment.

Poppy begins to move her body to allow me in further. I’ve never felt anything like this before with any other woman. The amount of power and strength she has in her tiny body puts all those weak concubines that I have been with to shame.

No wonder her wolf is so majestic and considered a rumor amongst the other pack members.

I shake all the thoughts out of my head and put my focus back on the one thing that matters to me, and that’s Poppy.

Our bodies begin to move in unison as we both get closer to reaching our climax. Poppy’s body starts to shake beneath me while she cries out a moan. My body reacts to her moaning and thrusting quicker, pushing me closer and closer to finishing.

Poppy lets out a heavenly scream as she lifts herself off the ground, digging her nails into me; I feel her warm release as it gushes over me.

I pull myself up onto my hands as I arch my back and look up to the moon to release my Alpha howl into the night and release myself into Poppy.

My body trembles as I pull myself off of her and collapse onto the ground next to Poppy. I roll onto my back and pull her into my side as we both pant, trying to catch our breath.

My heart is still pounding, and thoughts are racing through my head. I look down at Poppy as she lays her head on my chest and her raven hair spread out across me. After all this time, the one I’ve been looking for has been right in front of me. I don’t understand why I can’t sense her like a mate is supposed to. How come our connection is not forming after mating for the first time?

I bring my fingers underneath her chin and raise her face to look at me.

“Are you alright? Did I hurt you?”

Poppy giggles as she shakes her head. “No, you were perfect.”

My chest fills with joy when I hear the happiness in her voice.

Poppy rolls on top of me and straddles me. “In fact, I’m ready for another round,” she says with a glint in her eye.
