A moan leaves my lips, and I wrap my legs around his waist, grinding into him and gaining the sweet sound of his own long groan of pleasure. Our hands work fast until both of us are lying in the tall grass naked, skin to skin as we kiss and explore every inch of each other. His lips return to mine, one hand holding my head as his tongue is once again claiming my mouth while the other slowly runs along my skin causing the heat toburst into a ball of flames instead of cooling. I couldn’t take the teasing much long.
“Geminie?” He asks, gasping for breath after our kiss ends, leaving small pecks along my neck and jawline.
“Mate me, please. I can’t take it anymore.” I beg, grinding into his hard cock and feeling his tip at the entrance of my soaking wet pussy. His free hand is placed on my abdomen, stopping me from moving and making me whimper with the loss of friction.
“Are you sure, darling?” He asks, his hot breath caressing my collarbone where he gently nips my skin.
“Yes, Ariven.” My answer is followed by a moan as I feel his hand slide down my skin, and a finger is gently inserted into me, moving slowly around my soaking wet pussy.
“Please! Mate me, mark me. Just make me yours!” I pant, grinding into his hand as his lips kiss me once more.
“Just remember, once you’re mine, I am never letting go!” He states, and I nod in understanding, wanting nothing more than him, my best friend, my trusted pack member, and now my Mate.
Ariven smirks, kissing me one more time before his lips trail down to my breast, taking his time to suck and bite on my nipples while he inserts another finger inside me stretching me. I cry out his name, my body shivering wanting more than just his touch while he leaves a trail of kisses and bite marks. With a pop, his fingers leave my insides, but before I can miss the feeling of being filled, his mouth is at my entrance, tongue lapping up my cum and massaging my pussy.
With hands on my hips, Ariven keeps me from moving, from grinding into his face as he takes his time savouring me. My body heats up, mind going blank with nothing but pleasure and the need to mate until I feel my lower halfclench and I scream out Ariven’s name once more.
Coming down from my high of pleasure, I notice Ariven positioned above me, my legs around his waist with the tip of his cock pressed to my entrance, a smirk on that face of his.
“It’s time to make you mine, darling Geminie.” He whispers, lowering his face to mine where I smell myself on his breath. I gasp as he enters me, the feeling of his cock against my walls making me shiver. My arms reach around his neck and I cling to him. Our lips find one another, tasting the sweetness of my cum on his tongue as moans and the sounds of him thrusting in and out of me fill the air. I can feel the tightening of my abdomen once more, feeling myself getting to the verge of release while I grind in rhythm to Ariven’s thrusts until his lips leave mine and trail along my neck and collarbone.
His canines graze my sensitive, heated skin. I know he is in search of placing his mark.
“I can feel your body getting ready, baby girl.” He moans, his thrusts getting hard and faster. My answer is a long moan while tilting my head to the side, giving him easier access to my neck, his lips finding a spot just at the base of my neck just before my collar bone where he nips the skin gently. A gasp of pleasure is forced from my mouth. The feeling of relief is ready to spill over and I cling to my mate, our bodies heated and sweaty.
“Come for me, Geminie, and let me make you mine.” He moans out an order, his teeth nipping where my mark will be. My mind goes blank, my legs tightening around his waist as my pussy squeezes his cock. I come as ordered, his teeth grazing my skin, and as he sinks them into me, I feel him stiffen above me, and his cock throbs inside, releasing himself inside me just as my body goes limp and I fall asleep.
?Chapter 30 – Hot Spring Catch-Up?
The sensation of fingers drawing soft circles on my skin wakes me from my deep sleep. My naked body is pressed against another, their scent wrapping around me, making me feel safe and secure. I sigh happily, snuggling closer to Ariven as he chuckles, placing a soft kiss on my forehead.
“Good morning, darling.” He whispers, his hand moving from drawing circles on my skin to running through my hair. “Good morning, handsome.” I reply with a yawn, opening my eyes to find my mate staring back at me. The early morning breeze brings the scent of wildflowers to me, reminding me that we spent the last week hidden away from my wolves and Hidden Claws, lost in the pleasure the heat brought.
My body is sore, my neck slightly throbbing from being teased and bitten where my mark is, as Ariven and I claimed each other day after day. The hunger the heat brought felt stronger than ones experienced in the past, and the only theory I have is because my mate is beside me this time, able to help quench the fire running through my veins.
“How are you feeling today?” I yawn again as Ariven asks his question, seeing his easy-going smile as his fingers trail to his mark on my neck, making me shiver slightly.
“Sore and tired. I’m not sure I can walk to the guest house.” I answer, turning onto my back and stretching to see which spots on my body were the worst.
“I saw a hot spring nearby that we can soak in if you’d like.” I smile at the idea, agreeing instantly tothis idea and asking Ariven to carry me there. I have a feeling that if I try to stand my knees will buckle and I will fall to the ground like a newborn deer trying to walk for the first time.
As I’m happily snuggled in his arms, Ariven informs me that during the last seven days when I was in my heat-filled haze he would hold me while I slept and link with Lace, Mika, Maddie, and Matt. The twins supervised training making sure everyone abided by the rules, and Lace’s team managed to increase their strength and stamina the fastest, but Mika and his team also were able to run the ten miles without passing out now.
Pride swells inside me at the leadership the siblings have been able to prove, knowing that Lace is prioritizing her team’s time with training and working on their weak spots while Mika focuses on his team’s stamina and endurance. I can see these two returning Hidden Claws to its former glory in no time.
“Alex also linked me last night. His and Missy’s pup was born, and Amberle came to visit them to see how they were doing handling the pack with a newborn.” I smile, thinking of the new member of my family and deciding to stop on our return trip to buy a few things for the pup and Missy, knowing the she-wolf will need her coffee addiction fed and some feminine products to help get her through a few weeks.
I can’t wait to go home and see my brother being so haggard with sleepless nights caused by a newborn and running a pack at the same time.
“Your dad asked to see you before he left. Maddie told him about your heat, and instead he linked me. I told him we were a little busy finishing the mate bond. I have a feeling I have an ass whooping coming my way when we go to visit him.” Ariven informs me as we cuddle in the hot spring. I chuckle, knowing that my mate is correct in my father giving his newson-in-law a good ass beating when the chance arrives, and I will be front row and centre, recording it all to share with the pack and to embarrass my mate for many years to come.
“Were there any Soulless attacks on Hidden Claws while we were unreachable?” I ask, the heat from the water easing my sore muscles and making me drowsy.
“Yes, two small attacks, but they did not last long. As Lace put it, it was as if they were looking for something or someone.” I frown, thinking about what the Soulless would look for, but then I freeze, jolting away from Ariven and staring at him as panic rises inside me.
“Me." I state, running a hand through my wet hair. It all makes sense why his Soulless pack would perform small attacks on Hidden Claws.
“What do you mean, you, Gem?” Ariven pulls me back to his lap, holding me tightly while I take deep breaths of his scent, his lips placing gentle kisses on my mark that help to calm me down.
