“Is that an order from the big grizzly of Lo denaii?” I teased.

Scowling instantly, he grumbled, “No. It from Odix.”

My eyebrows winged upward, even as I laughed. “Are you saying you’re the boss now?”

Shaking his head, he had to pause for a minute as a low moan of a groan left him. Fighting to collect himself, he closed his eyes and muttered. “Jojo boss Odix, but Jo watch Odix leave, always.”

A sputter of a laugh left me. “Is that so?”

Sky blue eyes opened and bore into mine. Dead serious, he rumbled out with a hint of grit in his voice, “Odix always want go hunt. No want go now.” Leaning back, he peeled my pants from my legs, tugging them and my ruined panties free so he could settle my legs around his hips and properly smoosh me.

With a mock pout, I nodded. “You’ll miss Gopher too much?” I guessed with a silly smile.

“Bah.” With a roll of his eyes I was gonna bet hanging around with Gopher so much had lent him, he leaned in and nuzzled the shit out of my face. “Miss loud, crazy female who eats poop.”

“She eats poop, huh?” My eyes widened and I gasped like an old maid. Tapping him on the nose, I tsked, “She should really stop doing that.”

Burying his face in my throat, I realized a minute too late as he grinned against my skin and started to speak, the move was to protect his face. “Odix has something Jo put in mouth ‘stead. Jo beed careful, though. No want choke.”

I cackled as hard as I smacked at him, just losing it beneath him.

When he felt it was safe to come up for air, he smoothed the hair out of my face and leaned in. Slowly, cautiously, he pressed his lips to mine, testing the waters before boldly going.

My hands slid over his and I stared up at him as he pulled back. “I thought I eat shit and I’m mouthy and loud?”

“Odix no’ say him has something Jojo puts in mouth, no needs eat poops no more?” he purred. Taking my lips again as we waited out that monster locked inside me, he broke our kiss to nip my chin. “No mind loud.” His purr grew tenfold as he rocked his hips and moved them in a slow, circular motion as he nibbled and tasted his way down my jaw, past my throat.

“Jo be loud,” he growled into my throat, his fangs pricking my skin as soft, silly noises left me. “Odix like loud.”

“Ooh. Oh god…”

Odix cupped my ass in one hand, lifting it up, angling us until he rocked forward and hit just the right spot, and I saw fucking stars.

His mouth closed over a spot where my neck meets my shoulder, sucking on the spot until I was sure I was going to have the mother of all hickeys.

I heard the punch of my flesh being punctured more than I felt it, right as I found release once more.

Odix’s chest rumbled, his purr fighting to be heard over that pleased sound, as he laved the bite marks he’d left behind.

Panting for breath, limp beneath him, he could consider me speechless.

Even as he growled softly on the other side of the door, Gopher knocked and waited for Odix to lift his head from where he was making out with my throat to grant him entry.

“No wait,” Gopher grumbled. His market items joined Odix’s.

He sounded annoyed more than anything. It wasn’t directed at me.

With a grunt, hunched over me, Odix’s big shoulders lifted in an unrepentant shrug.

Gopher made an unamused sound. Hands on his hips as if he was imitating me, he quirked an eyebrow, gaze darting between us, and unsheathed his claws as he demanded to know in a high falsetto, “What Jo haves say for self, hmm?”

Odix grinned, picking up on his imitation quickly. Slapping at his shoulder, I pointed at him warningly. “I do not sound like that,” I muttered with a sniff.

Folding his arms over his chest, Gopher sniffed, “No sound like that.”

Odix gave up trying to keep a straight face, burying his face in my shoulder. His big shoulders shaking and the snorts muffled into my skin were proof enough of his amusement.

“What say self?” Gopher kept on, staying in character.
