CHAPTER 16

Suess

JUSTICE WAS LYING IN BED asleep. I brushed her curls aside and kissed her cheeks. Motherhood looked good on her, or maybe it was that everything made her beautiful in my eyes.

The mating fever was riding me hard. I’d had to be drugged for the first few weeks after she’d had the babies. Her scent was strong, and she was responding to my need to mate her. She needed to heal fully before we could attempt it because I didn’t know how much I could hold back. She’d had to have the babies in her human form since she couldn’t shift.

The half bond that I’d created in the hospital created several issues. Justice hadn’t been able to shift because of it except when her wolf felt threatened. It was time to grant her the things I’d taken away.

Justice lay in our bed completely bare underneath the sheets. I kissed her smooth skin. That sweet scent of her breached my nose beckoning for more. I followed her scent with my tongue, tasting more and more of her.

Justice gasped.

A deep chuckle resonated before I delved between her legs. Gripping her legs tightly, I held her still. She was trapped, and I could smell her excitement as it perfumed the air.

Justice pulled away from me, trying to get away from the assault of my tongue.

“Seuss!” she cried out.

The loud clack of my hand smacking her ass echoed in the room. Justice moaned loudly. I chuckled again. “Liked that did you?”

Justice’s body responded loudly as her thighs began to tremble.

“What did you say my name was?”

Justice whined. “Odysseus!”

I licked up her body pausing to kiss both cheeks of her ass. As I aligned her body with mine, I teased her dripping cunt with my shaft until she was begging for more. I sucked along the column of her neck as she marked me with her nectar.

Justice ground her body into mine searching for something to fill her. I kissed her luscious lips as she cooed.

“Please …” she begged.

“Yes, vixen?” I kissed along the back of her shoulder.

“Make me yours …”

“Do you ache for me, baby?”

The whimper that escaped was long and needy. “Yeeeeees!”

I slid my hands beneath her, palming her breasts. Justice panted, ready for more.

“Say it again. Tell me to claim you, vixen.” I kissed the spot that I was primed to bite.

“Make me yours … aaaaah!”

I sank into her body all at once. I bit the top of her shoulder while I entered her sweet pussy. I tweaked her nipples as the waves of an orgasm took over. It was a long wave of pleasure that shook her body hard as I ground out my release. I could feel her pleasure through our bond, and it shook me to my core. Fuck if she wasn’t more beautiful for it.

Spent, I kissed her shoulder and eased the tenderness by healing the bite through our bond. The mark was permanent, but the pain didn’t have to be.

Justice rolled into my arms and kissed me thoroughly. “That was better than I’d imagined.”

I smiled stroking the wet strands of hair from her face. “Good.” I kissed her again and pulled her even closer. We laid in silence for a while before Justice broke the quiet with a question.

“Did you ask your brother what he’d seen when he hugged me?” She stroked my beard and nibbled along my lips.

“Yes. He saw Sandy.”
