Chapter Sixteen

Laramie couldn’t touch her enough. One word screamed inside his head, urging him to possess her in every way imaginable. Mate. He’d known the moment he’d laid eyes on her that she was meant for him.

He pushed her under the spray and grabbed the soap, making quick work of cleaning them both while she lathered shampoo through her hair. His cock was long and thick and ready to claim. He wrapped one hand around the stalk and stroked it from root to tip then back again while he watched her rinse her hair. There was hunger in her gaze as she watched him through lowered lids. When she was finished, he turned off the water, not bothering with towels as he carried her to the bed.

She licked her lips. “Still planning to start here?”

He growled and didn’t even try to throttle the beast inside him. Instead, he gripped her hair in his fists and urged her to her knees before him. She immediately leaned in, running her tongue over his shaft and balls before sliding it over the head. He let her tease and play briefly before using his grip to tilt back her head.

“Suck my dick,” he ordered.

He expected her to challenge him. Was looking forward to her forcing him to make her. But she was as hungry as he was. She opened her mouth wide and took him in, wrapping those lush lips around him and sucking as she slowly slid down his cock. She wrapped a hand around what wouldn’t fit in her mouth and worked it in tandem with her mouth as she fed on him. He might be the one standing, but she had all the power. The sultry look in her gaze assured him she knew it.

He flexed his fingers along her scalp, urging her to move faster. “Take it, baby. Suck it hard.”

Her cheeks hollowed out. She took more of him in. Then more until he felt the constriction of the back of her throat as she gagged slightly on him. She eased back then took him deep again. Christ! She had his balls tight with the need for release.

“I’m going to come. I want to see it in your mouth, watch it slide over your chin, coat your tits. Then I’m going to put you on that bed, bend you over and fuck you.”

She moaned, the vibration of sound making his cock jerk, and some of his seed leak from the tip. She slurped it up and kept going, moving faster. She’d dropped one hand between her legs, and he knew she was fingering herself while she sucked him. It was erotic. He planned to suck those fingers clean. Then suck her pussy until she came on his face. Only then would he flip her around and fuck her hard.

“Fuck, yes,” he moaned, taking over and fucking into her mouth. “Are you dripping for me? I bet those fingers are coated. Finish me off, and I’ll take over. Make that pretty, little pussy come hard before I shove my dick inside.”

She moaned again, long and low, with his cock at her throat. He growled as he came, continuing to fuck, watching his seed do exactly as he’d described to her, sliding down her chin to drip onto her breasts. It was a sight he could get used to. His cock was still coming when he bent to grasp her under the arms and pull her up. He sat her on the mattress then dropped to his knees, burying his head between her thighs and tasting the cream that glistened on her folds.

Her fingers wound through his hair, gripping him and urging him closer. He chuckled then gave her what she needed. Dipping a finger inside, he took her clit between his lips and rubbed his tongue over the taut bud. She moaned and thrashed, making those sexy sounds in her throat that made his dick hard. Her body tensed, going tight as a bow, and he latched onto her clit, greedily sucking at it.

She came with a cry, her juices coating his fingers. He pulled them free, replacing them with his mouth, drinking her down, using his tongue to press for more. Tasting her only made him want her again. He stood, rolling her to her stomach and urging her up onto her knees. He placed a knee on the bed, gripped her around the waist and moved her upward on the bed so he could join her. He trailed a finger from the small of her back to her shoulders, flattening his hand and pressing until she lowered her chest toward the mattress.

He glided his hands back down along her sides until he gripped her hips. He nudged her knees wider, settling into place between them. His cock brushed against her ass. He let it slip between her cheeks, reminding them both of his promise to claim her everywhere before the night ended. He gripped his cock, sliding it lower until he lodged it at the snug entrance to her pussy. Slowly, he thrust inside her, relishing the tight grip of her flesh as he surged deep. Enjoying the way she squeezed around him, gripping him tightly as he eased back only to stroke deep again.

He was beyond words. He wanted to give them to her. To tell her how perfect she was. How beautiful she was. How right they were. But there’d be time for talking later. He rode her hard then slowed down, being easy until the urge to pound was too urgent to resist. He made her come, her juices dripping over his cock to coat his balls and thighs. Then he made her come again and a third time. Back and forth he went, until she was whimpering and begging beneath him. Only then did he give in, coming with a roar, his seed erupting from his cockhead in hard jerks as he continued to fuck. He pulled out his cock, pressing the head against her anus until it barely breached, coating her with his seed there. She’d need more preparation before he took her there, and he would. But not yet.

She cried out, jerking against him, and managed to force more of his tip into her ass. He growled as more semen shot out. He wrapped his hand around the shaft and jacked it until he was empty. He tugged free of her grip then dropped to the bed beside her, pulling her so that she lay half on his chest. They said nothing for the longest time. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he was content to wait until she spoke.

“I was told my whole life to hide what I am,” she whispered, her breath tickling across his nipple. “I’m a Kodiak female. The last of my kind. My father drilled it into me that I’d forever be hunted if anyone knew. That those around me would never be safe. He had me on pheromone blockers from the time my scent began surfacing. I was to be human, and that was all I could ever be.”

His chest rumbled with anger, and his mate rubbed her check against him. One hand stroked through his chest hair as she tried to soothe him. He was livid that her father had forced that on her. To hide who she was. To be made to feel as if she was somehow dangerous to her own kind.

“No father should ever treat his child that way,” he reprimanded.

“He loved me. He was only trying to protect me.”

He cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “When we have a daughter, if she’s blessed with a Kodiak, I’ll teach her to be strong and fierce. To be an alpha, the daughter of two alphas. I’ll be damned if I teach her to hide, to be afraid. I’ll be damned if you do that either.”

She shook her head. “I won’t. Malachi made me see that with Ruby. Oh, my God. Ruby! I need to go to her, make sure she’s okay.” She tried to pull away, and he switched their positions so he half lay on her, keeping her in the bed.

“You need to put yourself first for the first time in your life. Ruby is fine. She’s surrounded by people who love her and will take care of her. The two of you aren’t alone anymore.” He waited until she settled down then continued. “Was that the first time you’ve shifted?”

She shook her head. “My dad took me away, just the two of us, a few times. I was able to shift then and run free. Then we’d go back. But I haven’t had the opportunity in years. Even before my father was killed.”

He wondered if she caught the sadness in her voice. He did. It made him even angrier to know her father had let her have a taste of what she could be then sentenced her to hide in plain sight. Didn’t he once think about what he put her through? It was one thing to want to protect your child. It was another to suffocate them.

“You’ll never hide who you are again. Never, Em. No more pheromone blockers. You can change into your bear anytime you want. I’ll show you the boundaries of our land. You’ll be safe here. I’ve gotten a reputation among hunters. They know not to come on my land. Any hunter who does dies. No questions.”

She nodded. “I… It may take some getting used to. I’ve had a lifetime of not revealing who I am. It may take me a bit to learn to be comfortable in my own skin.”

“You looked pretty comfortable earlier,” he teased. “Fierce. You made me so fucking proud. And hard. Christ! It was all I could do not to mount and fuck you in the middle of the woods.”
