He nodded as he prepared a pot of coffee. “The Howlers believe in helping women, children, and anyone else who is in a bad situation they can’t get out of on their own. Along with all of that, they also believe in supporting the community around them and doing good where they can.”
“So… not the outlaws everyone thinks of when they hear the wordsmotorcycle club?”
Arbor tilted his head from side to side in a gesture that meantsomewhat. “We don’t run guns or drugs. We aren’t pimps. That doesn’t mean weneverbreak the law. If we need to break the law to protect the ones we love, we won’t even flinch. Like if someone were to try to hurt you, we would end them.” His lion let out a quick roar at the thought.
“You… love me?”
Realizing what he revealed, he prepared himself for her to push back at the idea, but he wasn’t about to deny it. He told his lion to shut the hell up when it began snarling and hissing at the thought that he might have fucked everything up, while at the same time demanding he claim her so she was theirs forever. Looking across the space, he met her gaze and admitted, “I’m a shifter, Kitten. When we know, we know. We don’t agonize about whether it’s been long enough or any of that shit humans do. I know you’re meant for me, and I opened myself up to it. With everything I learn about you, I fall more and more in love with you. So, yes, I love you, Kitten. And I’ll do whatever I need to do to keep you safe or avenge you.”
He waited with bated breath for her reaction, still ignoring his pushy lion. For a long moment, she just stared at him, the box of popcorn packets in her hand. Then the box hit the ground a second before she launched herself at him. Catching her in his arms, he pressed his lips to hers and let the relief wash over him as her fingers dug into his hair, dislodging the hair tie he had used to tie it back for the ride.
When her legs wrapped around his hips, he purred and turned her, pressing her back against the front of the fridge. Tearing his mouth from hers, he panted, “The next time I fuck you, I’m making you mine,permanently, Kitten. Is now the time?” His voice was more animal than man, but he couldn’t help it.
Please, whatever god is listening, make it the time.
“Is this another shifter lesson?”
He grinned against her lips. “Yes.” Carrying her toward his miniscule bedroom, he explained, “It’s like marriage for shifters, but it’s not something that can be reversed. There’s no divorce in this. It’s for life.”
As he laid her on the bed and pulled his cut off his shoulders, she asked, “How do you… What do we have to do?”
Once he hung his cut on the hook by the door, he faced her. “I have to bite you,” he bent down and ran a finger over the left side of her neck where it met her shoulder, “while I’m inside you. It will leave a scar, which will let every shifter who comes in contact with you know that you are claimed.” He straightened and yanked off his shirt, tossing it to the floor.
“Will it hurt?”
Arbor removed his boots and socks. “I’ve heard it doesn’t hurt as long as the bond is strong and the match is good.”
“So if it hurts, I’m screwed?”
He was in the process of removing her shoes, but he stopped and looked into her eyes. “It won’t hurt, Kitten.”
“How do you know?”
He bent over her again and pressed a kiss to her lips. With his fists pushing into the mattress on either side of her, he said, “Because my lion is sure. My lion has been demanding we complete the bond since the moment my eyes met yours in front of your cabin that first day. Do you trust me?” His lion’s tail swished in confirmation that he was sure.
“I trust you,” she whispered and began pulling up her shirt.
Arbor took a deep breath to calm himself as he helped her undress. Her trust meant more to him than anything else she could have given him. He knew trusting people didn’t come easy to her, and he wasn’t sure what he did to earn it, but he wouldn’t take it for granted.
Once she was bare to him, he quickly removed the rest of his clothes and positioned himself between her spread thighs. He kissed his way from her lips down her chest and abdomen, stopping to circle her navel with the tip of his tongue. As her fingers slid into his hair, he moved down further and gave her pretty little clit a kiss.
She gasped at the contact, making him grin, and let him know what he already knew. His woman was ready for him. He was grateful that his lion finally shut the hell up, obviously recognizing that they were about to get what they wanted.
Dropping down, he circled her opening with his tongue before dipping it inside to really taste her. As her essence exploded on his tongue, he moaned and began fucking her with it, while his thumb moved up to rub her clit.
It only took moments before her core was attempting to clamp down on his tongue and Kitten was moaning his name. He kissed and licked her slit through her orgasm before he made his way up her body to her lips.
The glazed, sated look in her eyes made his lion roar inside of him. Reaching between them, he palmed his erection and lined himself up at her entrance. “Gonna make you mine, now, Kitten.”
“I’m already yours, Arbor.”
He purred and slid inside of her, making both of them moan. With his heart beating out of control, Arbor set a hard rhythm.
