Forever Is Not Enough [Council Enforcers 2] (Siren Publishing Classic)

he’d meant when he said fate had made them for each other. They fit together perfectly. She arched her back and exhaled quickly when Ben rotated his hip.
    Ben chuckled. “Ready, little mate?”
    “Make me yours.”
    With her permission given, Ben shifted his hips, pulling his cock out, only to slam it back into her pussy. Jacqueline let out a choked moan as he repeated the process over and over again. All she could do was wrap her arms around him and hold on. She felt her orgasm building as she trailed her hands up Ben’s back, memorizing the feel of his muscles flexing as he moved against her. He nipped her lightly just before Jacqueline felt the sting of his teeth as they entered her shoulder. There was pain at first, but it quickly gave way to pleasure as she bit down on Ben’s shoulder to muffle her scream. She flinched as her teeth sank into his skin but forgot about it when her orgasm came out of nowhere. The intensity of her release had black spots swimming before her eyes. The last thing Jacqueline remembered was Ben’s howl in her ear and the feel of hot fluid jetting into her channel before everything went dark.

Chapter 11
     
    “Welcome back.”
    Jacqueline smiled at the comment. She heard the smug tone in Ben’s voice over the fact that she had passed out. She couldn’t blame him for being proud he had given her too much pleasure. It was something she’d never thought possible.
    She opened her eyes and smiled up at her mate lying on his side next to her with his head propped up on his palm. “Thank you.” Those two words held a world of meaning for her. She wanted to tell him thank you for trusting her, for giving her a second chance and not hating her, for being strong enough to take her away from her father.
    “Believe me, little mate, the pleasure was all mine.” Ben grinned.
    Jacqueline shivered. She didn’t think she would ever get enough of the man. She wished they could stay locked in the safe room away from the outside world, but the problems would still find them. They had already started creeping back into her head. “So what now?”
    Ben seemed to know exactly what she was thinking because he flopped his head back on the bed and sighed. “Now we get up and go on. I’m sure Mitch is pacing the floors in his office right now waiting on me. As much as I would love to stay in this bed making love to you over and over again, we have work to do.”
    As Ben leaned over to kiss her, Jacqueline caught a whiff of the most wonderful smell. It was the best thing she had ever smelled and made her mouth water for more. The scent was a mix between maple syrup and sugar cookies. “What is that smell?” she asked as she took a deeper breath, taking it in. She didn’t know if she wanted to drench herself in it or to eat it.
    Ben frowned down at her, and she realized the scent was coming from him. “Oh, God, it’s you. Umm, you smell so good.” She buried her face in his neck and ran her tongue over his skin to see if he tasted as good as he smelled.
    Ben laughed. “I take it you like my scent.”
    His statement had Jacqueline pulling back and the scientist in her taking over. “How come I’ve never smelled you before?”
    “It’s because we mated.”
    “What do you mean because we mated?” Jacqueline asked, confused.
    Ben frowned at her again. “You don’t know, do you?”
    She could only shake her head as he pulled her closer and hugged her. “I’m so sorry, Jacqi. When you asked me to mate with you, I thought you knew everything that comes with the mating. I figured maybe you had gone to Tessa for advice or something. It’s hard to remember that you don’t know everything. If I had known, I would never have mated you without explaining first.”
    Now, Jacqueline was starting to get scared. Ben didn’t sound as though he already regretted mating her, but he had a look of guilt on his face. “Explain what, Ben?”
    Ben sighed and sat up. “When we bite our mate during sex, it binds them to us. If they’re already a shifter, then not much happens besides a bond forming between the two. In your case, since you’re human, you begin to change.” He held up his hand to stop her question before continuing. “You won’t become a shifter, but over time, you will start to develop most of our traits, heightened senses, rapid healing, and increased strength. Your life span will also change to match mine.”
    Jacqueline swallowed as she tried to process the information. “Is
