After they ate he gave her a tour of his house. It was a mansion in her opinion, although he didn’t seem to notice. He was watching her face as they moved from room to room, as if to gage her reaction. He seemed pleased with her responses. It wasn’t hard to gush over such a beautiful home. She honestly loved everything about the house, especially the tall windows where you could see out into the lush forest.
“It’s beautiful.” She said, not quite hiding the yawn.
“You’re tired. Let’s go to bed,” he said leading her back up the stairs.
“Okay, uh...which room is mine?” she asked nervously.
He stopped and faced her. “I don’t care which room you take, but I will sleeping next to you.”
She looked up at his serious expression. Even though she was right in front of him, she was missing his arms around her. Everything was happening so fast. She didn’t know what to think, and she was just too tired to ponder it right now.
Giving in she said, “Lead the way.”
He guided her back to the room they were in earlier. She settled under the covers quickly. She heard him behind her, and she assumed he was undressing. She felt the bed dip and a strong arm came around her waist. She leaned back into him, and he tightened his grip. She had no idea why this felt so right.
She tried to sleep, but she kept remembering the earlier conversation. “Rolf, my grandmother said something I didn’t understand. She said her sister had married a lycan. Is she saying what I think she is saying?”
“What do you think she is saying?” he whispered from behind her.
She took a deep breath and decided to just spit it out. “Well, from folklore lycan are shape-shifters. And the more I think about this mate thing, I think there might be more to it. All of this feels supernatural. Are you... are you a lycan?”
He sighed. “I wasn’t sure how to tell you this, but yes. I’m what you would call a shape-shifter. We can control when we turn though. We aren’t dependent on the moon. The wolf inside is part of me, and that part of me needs this claiming as well.”
“Okay,” she said with another yawn
“Okay? No more questions?” he said with surprise in his voice.
“Yes, it’s a lot to take in, but I’ll think about it tomorrow.” She snuggled closer and fell asleep.

Karina woke up with start. Was it all just a dream? No, no it wasn’t. She felt the arms around her waist and knew that it was Rolf. She slowly turned her body around in the bed so she could face him. Somehow he stayed asleep. She studied his face. It was so manly, but he had little laugh lines around his eyes that charmed her.
She lifted her hand and brought it toward his face. Slowly she laid her fingers on his cheek. His face felt rough and unshaven. Her fingers slid up until they reached his hair. Her hand glided down through the soft mane to the point where it ended below his chin.
He had such masculine features. Just this simple act made her want to touch him further. She glanced at his face to make sure he was still asleep. She brought both hands to the top of his chest and moved them down his naked chest.
Everything about him was strong and hard. She noticed two scars running down his left side. She took her finger and traced the path they followed. The scars went all the way down to under the sheet. Dare she remove the sheet? She thought. She breathed in and then slowly moved her hand further under the sheet. A hand came out and grabbed her fingers.
She looked up and two eyes stared at her. “You’re playing with fire. Are you sure you want to know what’s under there?”
“Nnn... Yes.” Damn this no lies thing, she thought.
He chuckled at her response. “Okay, here you go,” he said as he lifted the sheet completely off him. He was totally naked! Her eyes flew down and settled on his massive member. It swelled as her eyes lingered.
“Wow,” she said clearing her throat. “What a large uh... cock you have Rolf.”
“The better to fill you with, my dear,” he whispered. She glanced back at his face, and his expression was full of intensity.
He smiled down at her and said, “Now it’s my turn to look at you.”
“You saw me yesterday,” she said.
“I was a little too busy to see clearly.” His comment made her blush as she remembered exactly what he’d been too busy doing.
She turned away from him and rolled off the bed. “I’m probably not what you’re used to. I know men like skinny girls, and clearly I’m not.”
He quickly moved off the bed and stood behind her. She turned around and faced him. He looked down with an angry expression. “What idiot told you that? Your curves drive me wild.” Then he smiled again and said, “How about I take a look to make sure though?”
He raised the shirt that she was wearing over her head. She heard a hiss from him when it was completely lifted off.
His eyes stared at her chest. Her nipples tighten at the look in his eyes. She wanted to cover herself, but she couldn’t move. His glance slowly ran down the length of her. She felt hotter than ever. She looked down and saw that his anatomy was getting even bigger. Yikes.
He tilted her head up with his finger and said sincerely. “You are beyond compare. You are the most beautiful woman in the world!”
“You’re only saying that because I’m your mate,” she said. She really did feel like he was only seeing her that way because of the mating. He wouldn’t really be attracted to her without it, she thought.
“Karina. You are truly gorgeous! Remember I can’t lie!” He slipped his arms around her and pulled her close. She felt his cock against her stomach and she shuddered. It felt so good being close to him.
“Why don’t we take a shower?” he said.
“Together?” she asked excitedly.
“Always together. I never want to be apart from you,” he said. He took her hand and led her to the attached bathroom.
********
The shower was large, plenty big enough for both of them. He turned on the hot water and then pulled her in with him. The spray felt so good against her sensitive skin.
She reached for the soap but he beat her to it. “Let me,” he said.
He took the soap and placed it on her stomach. He brought it up to her breasts and lingered. He made her ache as he skimmed the soap up and around both tips. He stepped closer to her and moved the soap around to her back. The soap inched lower and came back around to her stomach.
He kissed her softly and then passed the soap between her folds. As it brushed her clit she trembled. He growled at her response. He quickened his pace and quickly cleaned both their bodies.
As soon as he had set the soap down his mouth captured hers. He lifted her against the shower wall and she automatically placed her legs around his waist. Her center brushed his, and she felt the head of his cock right at her entrance.
“I need you,” he said.
“I need you too,” she said breathlessly.
He seized her mouth again, as his cock entered her slowly. As soon as it came against a barrier he stopped. His face pulled away from her and he looked into her eyes. She gasped when she saw them. His eyes appeared yellow and almost crazed. She sensed he was trying to control himself.
She needed more, why did he stop? Everything felt amazing. She’d never experienced anything like it! “Please,” she said almost begging. “Please I need you!”
He pushed through the barrier inside and she gasped again.
He stopped once more and asked, “Are you okay?”
She loved the feeling of him inside, but she needed more! “Yes, please...please don’t stop.”
He pushed further and further in. She felt completely stuffed when he finally stopped. Why was he stopping again? she thought.
“Please” she said, not knowing what she needed.
He came out and then quickly plunged back in, then did it again. She loved the feeling of him buried in her. She felt him brush her clit as he entered.
“Oooh,” she whimpered.
At the sound he pulled out and pushed harder in. He shoved her against the shower wall as he started thrusting in and out without mercy. She had never felt anything so maddening and wonderful. Something built inside her until she finally screamed as she came.
He quickened his pace as he continued to drive in and out. She felt another burst grow within her until she exploded. His own release followed as she felt them both sag against the shower.
He slowly set her down. They both stood holding each other, trying to catch their breath. Eventually Rolf reached over and turned off the water. He opened the door and grabbed a towel. He gently brought it around her and hugged her close. “I’m sorry...I’m sorry my little red. I didn’t know it was your first time. I shouldn’t have taken you so roughly, and in the shower of all places.”
“What? What are you talking about? It was wonderful!” she said pulling away to look up at him.
She couldn’t read the expression on his face, but she sense he was struggling with his words. “When I felt the barrier I should have been gentler. My wolf came out a bit when I realized that you were a virgin. He... We both like the idea that we are your first. I’m sorry if I was too hard.”
“You were amazing Rolf. It was more than I could have imagined,” she said sincerely.
He tenderly kissed her lips. “Thank you for that privilege.”
She kissed him back passionately and said, “I’m glad it was you.”
