“I’m still doing the second test,” I said. “If for no other reason than to show your mother I can do it.”
“You’re amazing.” Grabbing my hand again, he hurried me along a hallway and down a back flight of stairs that emptied out near the rear of the building, only stopping to ask one of the staff to take Diesel out one last time and make sure he was gently placed back in our room.
I was breathing fast, laughing softly, and grinning by the time he tugged me out onto the back deck from which I’d triumphantly impaled his mom’s chest. He urged me down onto the lawn.
Tiny blue lights still shone from the canyon roof high overhead, though their light had muted. Now they looked like stars in a black landscape. There was a nip in the air I found exhilarating.
Nah, the feeling came from anticipation. Finally, me and Jarum were going to do it. He’d teased me with his luscious cock, never revealing it, but it was time. I could touch it, suck on it, and take it into my welcoming body.
“Are we going to do it in the grass?” I asked with a laugh as he took me along a path leading to the forest behind.
“Nothing as uncouth as that,” he said, sending me a tusk-filled grin.
He lifted me into his arms and tossed me over his shoulder, then bolted down the trail.
Chapter 15
Jarum
“Wee,” Kassia cried, her hands braced on my back. “If I didn’t want this, I’d stab you, though I don’t have a knife.”
I was honored she’d taken the time to learn about orc mating rituals, including the one that said a rejecting mate would use her knife to show her displeasure at being claimed.
“You asked me. I said yes, so now we’re finally going to do it,” she added.
My chuckle rang out. “Yes, finally.”
“I understand why you wanted to wait.”
“No more.” When my parents first mentioned needing to test my mate before they’d consent, it didn’t occur to me to tell them no. Why wouldn’t they want to see me happy with the person of my choice? I assumed my mother would give Kassia simple tests that anyone could complete with ease.
Instead, it was clear she was trying to make this hard solely because she could.
That was all it took. If my mother made me choose, I’d walk away with Kassia. I loved her, and no one was going to come between us.
So why wait any longer? I wanted to fuse a bond with my love. My mother’s decision would have no impact on my own.
The trail ended at the river I used to swim in when I was young. I crossed it, water splashing across my waist, and stomped up the bank on the opposite side.
“Where are we going?” Kassia asked.
“I want our first time to be in a special place.”
“You’re sweet. I could walk, you know. Might be easier for you.”
I strode along the second trail weaving through the forest. “I like carrying you. It makes me feel orcish.”
Her laughter trilled out. “You’re very orcish already. I like that about you.”
I couldn’t stop grinning. An orc was supposed to carry his mate all the way to the mating spot, but I wanted to see her face, kiss her. So I slid her down my body.
Her eyes lit up, telling me she’d noted my hard cock already.
After a heady kiss, I took her hand, and we hurried along the trail side by side, emerging at the lake I’d played in ages ago. I pointed. “See that island? That’s where we’re going.”
“Will we swim there?” She kicked off her shoes and dipped her toes into the shallows.
“We can, but it might not be safe.”
