“Okay,” she replied in a shaky voice. “I won’t.”

“Good,” he rumbled as he bent his head to lap at her hip again causing his little mate to twitch against him. “I need you,” he rasped against her skin in a strained voice. His nostrils flared as he breathed in her skin, drawing the tangy sweetness of her scent deeper within him. “I need to know that you are mine.”

“I am yours,” she replied, stifling a gasp he dropped his head to nip very gently at her swollen bud.

He lifted his head and met her eyes again, holding her gaze. “Do you claim me, then, my little would-be mate? Would you mark me with your essence and allow mine to mark yours until our pheromones are so imprinted on each other that they’ll never be separated?”

Her eyes widened with full realization of what he wanted but she gave a quick nod of her head.

“Yes,” she whispered.

He glanced down at himself and the thick length of his twitching, heavily beaded cock. With the swirls and knots of beaded flesh along his shaft and the much thicker head of his cock, he knew it only superficially looked like one belonging to a human male—and only at a distance if one squinted and didn’t take proportion into account. Although she had seen him extruded numerous times, he felt that he was still obligated to point it out. Though he burned with desire, he would still give her one last chance to change her mind if that was what she truly wanted. He knew well enough that humans struggled with the concept of being pierced by the cock of a male from another species.

“I am not like your men. I do not have the ability to make it seem as though this part of me is as some species do. Do you truly wish to welcome me into your body?”

“Fuck, yes.” Her hips lifted and strained toward him, her glistening cunt opened wide for him. Begging to be filled. “This is what I’ve wanted.”

That specific wording caught his attention. “You have desired to be claimed by a monstrous male’s cock?”

That seemed so improbable to him that he couldn’t quite make sense of it. His last mate had come to terms and eventually enjoyed their matings, but he hadn’t imagined a woman lusting for it before she took one into herself.

A pink hue flooded his mate’s cheeks, but she rolled her eyes. “I want your cock, Barbasa. It doesn’t matter to me if it is attached to what some might call a monster or not. It is attached to you and that is all that matters. Because you are the one I want.” The color in her cheeks heightened. “And from time to time I may have been curious what it would be like with someone not human.”

That surprised him. “Then why wait so long to enjoy the pleasure I offered?”

Her gaze snapped to him in bewilderment. “Hey, a fantasy is one thing, but I wasn’t going to just jump the first male that came along just because he waved his impressive and inhuman cock around on a daily basis.”

Barbasa choked back a laugh and crawled over his mate to settle more comfortably between her thighs. Pressing kisses against each of her eyelids, he purred down at her happily as he adjusted his hips so that his cock slid along her seam until the head notched at her entrance.

“Fair enough, my love. I will try to be gentle so that it is as good as you have dreamed of, but for this first time it will be a tight fit.”

Tiffany exhaled slowly and nodded. “I know. I’m ready.”

Another laugh rumbled in his chest. “Not yet, but you will be.”

Slowly he shifted his hips, moving the head and shaft of his cock so that it slid against her, teasing the sensitive flesh. Her body quivering beneath his, Barbasa attentively lowered his head to drag his tongue along one breast and then the other, at times sucking her nipples into his mouth with gentle, drawn-out tugs, and at other times, grazing them with his sharp teeth. Just hard enough for her to feel it without drawing blood. His cock swelled further with her heightened arousal, and he ground against her, stroking his cock harder against her cleft. Each pass opened her further as her desire flamed higher in response, her heat bathing the entire length of his phallus. Her swollen little nub at the tip of her slit, abraded against his cock, increasing their mutual pleasure until they both dripped with their combined arousal.

Her thighs slid up around his furred hips as she moaned, her pelvis lifting in a silent plea, her slick heat bathed his cock as he nudged his hips forward, her cunt slowly swallowing the length. And it was slow. His girth stretched her so that she was wrapped tightly around him but his precum pumped into her in response to her most intimate place squeezing tightly around him. It flooded her and dripped around his cock as it slowly worked its way in with his every thrust, the veins along the length of his shaft bulging with his incredible, building need to spend within her. He resisted the urge and flexed his hips, gradually pushing deeper as her cunt spasmed and clenched around him with the fresh orgasm that tore through her.

She cried out with his slow invasion, her hips twitching all the time as if she couldn’t decide whether to pull away or drive him deeper. Her fingers dug into his hair, however, and kept him clutched tightly to her as she panted and her body gave bit by bit to his invasion until he was buried deep within her, his whole cock swallowed up to its very root. He stared down between them in awe and his eyes rolled back as the walls of herchannel spasmed once again around him. Unable to hold back, he withdrew and snapped his hips, sending him driving back into his mate so that they both moaned together.

Shuddering with the intense pleasure rushing over him and the love welling up just as quickly that desperately needed to be expressed, Barbasa caught her mouth with his and drowned within the ecstasy of her kiss. Their mouths mated and tongues tangled as he rocked against her, setting a slow pace as he relished the tight squeeze of her milking his length from root to tip with every pump. His passion burned through him, pulling at him, demanding more as the taint twisted through him. Adding a roll to his hips, his thrusts became quicker, his rising rut driving his cock into his female as her legs wrapped hungrily around him as if to keep him anchored to her as she met his every pump. Their kisses grew more desperate as their bodies came together harder and faster. Her teeth nipped at the sensitive skin of his lip until he groaned against her mouth. And he couldn’t have pulled away even if he wanted to because somehow she had worked a hand free and had an iron grip on his left central horn spike, holding her more firmly to her.

As much as he was claiming her, she was claiming him in turn as her body met his with answering aggression. Excitement rumbled through him as his true rut descended up on him and he began to pound in earnest into his mate’s soft body, pulling loud cries of ecstasy from her as her cunt rippled and squeezed around him, and draggled on him tightly as her orgasms flowed into each other. Still, he rutted as the fog of his desire thickened and descended over him until there was nothing more than the hunger and the need. His cock thickened and swelled within her until she screamed, her channel spasming tightly, locking him completely within her as his cock jerked violently, giving up its thick streams of seed. Over and over again he emptied himself until his thighs shook with exhaustion and Tiffany’s cries ofpleasure began to grow hoarse. When he finally collapsed against her, his cock still tightly clutched within her sheath, his mate peppered his face with soft, butterfly kisses bringing a lightness to his soul as the taint once again retreated, leaving in its wake satisfaction rather than the endless hunger that had always plagued him.

He felt... complete. And love eclipsed all reason as he held his mate tenderly in his arms. She did not realize what she signed up for, but he would tell her when the moment was right. She was his mate... his.... and gods help anyone who attempted to steal her away now.

Chapter 14

The autumn air was chilling as a wind whispered along the trees, foretelling of evening snuggled together in front of the fire. With it, however, brought old longings to the surface of the little seasonal things she missed from her old world. Apple cider and pumpkin pie being the two most noticeable but even a nice cup of hot cocoa would be nice when the weather turned chilly after the sun went down.

The fact that she was now having the opportunity to perhaps taste a hint of her fond childhood memories was what had her enthusiastically rushing around the cabin to pack whatever they might need for the next few days while Barbasa watched with fond amusement safely outside of her little personal hurricane zone. But her excitement was for good reason. After what felt like a dreary lifetime stuck in the hell of a world post-Ravening, she was finally going to see some magic and enjoy herself a little. Because they were going to the fae market! Not only did she look forward to all the sights of what Barbasa assured her was a bustling marketplace, but she was sure that someone there had to know some tasty things to do with a pumpkin or apple.

It was like going to an autumn faire—and everyone knew that the best part of that was eating until your stomach hurt. Which was exactly what she was planning on doing. It wasn’t like she needed to worry about calorie counting when she hadn’t had any extra weight to worry about for years. It was hard to be plump when every day was about survival. In fact, the few pounds she had put on since living with Barbasa had filled her out enough to give her an appearance of health after so long living on the brink of starvation.

“Slow down, little one. The market is not going anywhere,” Barbasa teased as his eyes followed her path across the room. “I am not entirely sure what all you think you need.”

She rolled her eyes as she picked up her backpack and set it on the table beside the small pile of necessities. That was the voice of a man with little heavy duty shopping experience who seldom accompanied a human woman on vacation—and this was as close to a vacation as she was ever going to get.
