“Fuck,” Kai hissed, and then he was sliding in.
I hissed as well, because even though I was so wet I could feel it on my shirt, it was still bizarre. It didn’t hurt per se, but the pressure was odd, even alien.
But Kai didn’t just plunge in. He didn’t just start pounding, caring only about his own pleasure. He was far too good for that. Instead, he kissed me again while his free hand looked for that sensitive, slick little bundle of nerves at my apex.
“You’re so fucking hot,” he moaned as he slid in farther. He took his time as he went, his fingers finding my clit and ever so gently stroking around it, not putting direct pressure on quite yet.
I'd no idea how he knew I'd like that, that sometimes going straight for that bundle of nerves when I was by myself made me achy the next day, but I just chalked it up to him being literally perfect for me. I didn’t need to have an answer for the amazing things he did, I just needed to lay back and experience them.
Bit by bit, he worked his way in, making sure to kiss me all the while and build up the liquid fire within me. By the time he was fully inside, the hair at the base of his cock pressed to me, I felt stretched to bursting.
But it also felt good, like the pressure made me so full that I could never be empty or lonely again. It was like we were connected in a way that would always be there. I loved it. I really, truly loved it.
Then he started moving.
Slowly at first but then, bit by bit, he increased in pressure and speed. All I could do was hold on and feel it all, letting all of the sensations fill my mind. The heat. The smell of him. The feel of his muscled body as he thrust into mine. His pleasure rushing through our bond, my pleasing answer in return.
The cacophony of perfection built up inside us until I felt another end hurtling toward me. I was normally a ‘one and done’ type when it came to solo time, so I was shocked when I was on the edge, yet again.
“I’m close,” I managed to gasp, and Kai’s pace increased. I could still feel that he was holding himself back, that he was trying to be tender and make sure I was taken care of, but it was thrilling to know that there was still so much power within him. In another time, in another place, I wouldn’t mind both of us giving into our inner wolves and being a little unhinged, a little wild in the way good, civilized people weren’t supposed to be.
But that would have to be next time because a roar sounded from Kai as he thrust hard one more time, his full weight baring into me. Suddenly, I felt a warm rush and realized exactly what’d happened. That, along with his fingers finally traipsing across my clit, sent me falling into the abyss with him.
I couldn’t say how long I was falling, but once more, I came back breathless. Kai retreated out of me, but then he just pulled me to his chest as he laid beside me, kissing my face wherever he could reach.
“You are the most amazing woman I’ve ever met,” he murmured, and I was almost jealous at how eloquent he was. I was worried if I opened my mouth I'd just make caveman sounds for a while until my brain came back online.
So, instead I just kissed him. I kissed him until all those happy hormones caught up to me and I slipped into the most restful sleep I’d had in ages. Despite all the pain we experienced,despite all the danger, being in Kai’s embrace seemed to be the perfect balm for my soul.
Too bad it couldn’t last.
I woke up to the smell of cooking venison, my stomach rumbling almost immediately, as I opened my eyes and realized I was quite sore. I tried to remember what happened last night, and that was when my gaze finally landed on Kai.
Oh.
Right.
I slept with him.
After three years of resisting, avoiding him, and punishing myself, I’d finally given in. We hadn’t completed our mating bond, with both of our necks going unbitten, but then we weren’t really in a situation where we'd survive if we did that. From what I’d heard, being separated after a mating bond could actually, physically hurt both parties. Plus the deluge of bonding chemicals weren’t exactly conducive to staying alert while moving through enemy territory.
“Hey there,” Kai said softly, looking at me with that same wonderful, adoring expression on his face. “You hungry?”
I nodded eagerly, and to my great surprise, Kai walked over and picked me up like I was a princess before gently setting me on the same rock I’d sat on before, all bundled up in my bedroll, so my bare ass wasn’t on the stone. I will admit that it definitely throbbed as I settled, but it faded quickly.
“I refilled your canteen with creek water,” he said, pointing to where it was already sitting at my feet. Goodness, he really had thought of it all, hadn’t he?
I didn’t say much while he finished roasting the venison over the fire, then cut a chunk off for me with a field knife. If I was open about being a shifter, I could’ve just used my own claws to rip the meat free, but like far too much in my life, that was still very much a secret.
Eventually, however, I had the food in front of me and ate it in a somewhat civilized manner. It was rich, gamey, and just a touch charred, which tasted amazing to me in the moment. Kai, for what it was worth, sat across from me on the ground, chowing down on a portion nearly three times the size of mine. It did not offend me, though. As an alpha and at almost a foot taller than me, he most certainly needed it. He also didn’t know I was a shifter with a shifter-appropriate appetite. Still, the portion he gave me was generous for a non-shifter woman of my size. Maybe he could feel my hunger?
But once we finished, I sensed some tension in the air. I supposed I'd put things off long enough, and I wasn’t surprised when Kai spoke.
“We need to talk.”
Yeah…yeah, we did.
“Okay,” I said simply. He had a lot to ask about. Why I hadn’t pursued him, what I meant when I said I was protecting him. It was a pretty lengthy list.
