Page 86 of Monstrous Truths


Font Size:  

I never expected to find happiness or a home when I came over the wall, but that’s exactly what I found, mixed with acceptance, friendship, and equality. Monsters aren’t perfect, and I know we have a long, rocky road before us.

I look up at my mate, at the monster I chose over my own people, and I have no regrets.

We will face whatever comes together.

Cato doesn’t let me go straight back to work, despite my protests. He only lets me put the research away, and then he forces me to rest, saying my body needs it. He’s obviously right, since I fall deeply asleep within seconds, which shouldn’t be a surprise since we celebrated our safe arrival back. Everyone danced and drank, and it was honestly one of the best nights of my life.

When I wake up, I’m lying across his chest. My hand is under my cheek, my legs are between his, and his tail is curled around the top of my thigh, holding me against him. Under my head is his slow, steady heartbeat, and I know I should move, but instead, I just listen and let the sound of it relax me.

My eyes slide closed as I listen to it beat. I’ve heard others say that listening to the ocean brings them peace, the waves calling them home, but Cato’s heart does that for me. Here, curled in furs and wrapped around an eight-foot red monster within a forgotten city, is where I feel at home.

This life over here won’t be easy, but fuck, it’s worth it, and being surrounded by monsters has brought me to back to life. I’m never alone now, never lonely, and I don’t overwork or just sleep, eat, work, and repeat. Cato showed me what it’s like to be alive again, and I’ll spend the rest of my life as a happy woman if we live like that, even if the food is weird and I have to end up wearing fur.

I must smile, because he speaks, his voice rumbly and sleepy. “I hope that smile is for me.”

Lifting my head, I press my chin to the muscles on his chest. “Always you. Before you, I didn’t smile,” I admit.

His eyes smoulder as they watch me, his hands stroking along my back before they reach my ass.

A pulse of desire shoots through me, and before he can react, I slide up his body, nipping his chin on the way before I press my lips to his. “Thank you.”

“For what, Tally?” he whispers.

“For coming for me, for saving me in every way you can save someone. For loving me even when I didn’t love myself.”

“Always, mate,” he promises, kissing me softly.

“Now let me show you what making love is, mate, not just fucking,” I murmur into his lips, his hands gripping my hips as I straighten. His blazing red eyes lock on me as I pull off my clothing. His clothes were discarded last night, but I insisted on sleeping in a shirt.

His eyes drop to my breasts, his tongue darting out to wet a fang in a sexy as hell movement. “I’m your willing pupil,” he purrs.

“Good answer.” I grin as I reach down and stroke his length, his eyes hooded with pleasure. Kneeling, I drag him across my pussy, groaning when his tip nudges my clit. I’m wet, I always am around him, but he’s massive, so I work myself on his length until I feel comfortable enough to press him to my entrance.

Wordlessly, he grabs my hips and helps lift me onto his length. I work myself down, taking all of him in a gentle roll until we both groan as I sink down.

“Perfect.” He groans, flashing his fangs.

“It gets better,” I promise as I lay my hand on his chest and start to slowly grind before riding his huge cock. His eyes track and note my every movement as he lets me take my pleasure.

Grabbing his hands, I slide them up my body until they cup my swaying tits.

“Tally.” He groans. “My perfect mate.”

His big hands cup and tweak my nipples, arching pleasure through me as I groan. I speed up as I lift and drop and wind, hitting my clit until I can’t hold back. Pleasure takes over, and with a cry, I come, milking his cock as I shudder on top of him.

Doing a flashy sit-up, he covers my mouth, swallowing my pleasure as his arms wrap around me and he rolls us, leaving me blinking. Grinning down at me, he props his hands on either side of my head. “I think I got the gist of the lesson,” he purrs, wrapping his tail around one ankle and tugging it to the side as he kisses me and starts to move.

I tilt my hips, and he hits that spot that has me moaning into his mouth. His drugging kisses leave me breathless as our bodies come together and we lose ourselves in one another. This isn’t a quick, hard fuck racing to our release. This is a slow build of pleasure and exploring hands.

“I love you so much, Tally,” he whispers against my lips as his hips flex. I slide my hands down his back to cup his ass and hold him tighter. Nipping my chin, he tongues away the sting. “My perfect, beautiful mate.”

“I love you too,” I rasp out, forcing my eyes to stay open and locked on his, but the steady slide of his cock mixed with his gentle, loving touches has me reaching for another release. It happens slowly, like a cresting wave washing over me before carrying me away on the pleasure as I cry out his name.

He swallows it, groaning into my mouth as he stills and finds his own release. When it subsides and we are left panting, I smile softly at him, and he grins back at me.

“You’re a fast learner,” I tease.
