I walked away from him, and once I was sure he was following, I sprinted into the forest.

Chapter 23 - Killian

No one had ever been able to get to me like my mate could, and the sight of her tight ass walking away from me into the forest after completely obliterating her competition was a new high. One I needed to chase.

The moment she got past the tree line, I saw her form shift into Destiny’s brown fur and dart away. I hustled after her, determined to take her the moment I caught up to her. But I hadn’t expected her to be so fast. Apparently, the last time we ran in the forest, she had been taking it easy on me.

Our game of cat and mouse was exhilarating. One second, she was right in front of me, about to be mine, and the next, she had completely disappeared, leaving me frustrated and eager. With each passing moment, my senses became more heightened.

Faster, Rocky.

If I could go any faster than this, don’t you think I would,my wolf growled in frustration.

I knew he was just as eager to catch Destiny as I was. I shouldn’t have goaded him, but her scent was driving us both insane. Her smell led us around a small hill, where we spotted an enclosed area of pine trees. Some had fallen over, creating a kind of wall.

There, Rocky said excitedly.

But before we reached it, Leah stepped out from behind one of the trees. “Finally caught me, huh?” she teased.

Rocky pounced on her, gently tackling her to the ground and pinning her beneath him. She giggled as he nuzzled into her neck, licking her cheek with his tongue.

“Hey, now,” she protested. “Is that really fair?”

I shifted and grabbed her by the wrists, raising them above her head. “Is this better?” I asked.

“Mmm, much better.”

Leah’s brown hair created a halo around her head against the backdrop of the forest floor. Our eyes locked as I reached down with one hand, keeping my other one firmly on her wrists, to unbutton her pants.

“Let me go, and I can help you with that,” she said.

“No,” I responded. “You made me chase you all around the forest. What makes you think I would let you go ever again?”

I lowered her pants just enough that I could insert my free hand inside and watched as her eyes widened. Slowly, teasingly, I began to caress the outside of her underwear as she panted. Every time I motioned like I was going to take it further, I could see her eyes glimmer with excitement, only to cloud over when I resumed my caresses.

Finally, I felt her panties begin to saturate with her desire. I moved them aside and placed a finger inside her, grinning as she gasped.

“More,” she begged.

I shook my head, removing myself from inside her and circling her clitoris. She wiggled her hips in frustration as she tried to move out from under me.

“Are you getting impatient?” I asked.

She growled in response. The low rumbling from her diaphragm reverberated through her body, heightening my desire.

I plunged my finger inside her once again but was almost immediately overcome with a need to be closer. Unable to withhold any longer, I released her arms and yanked her pants down to her ankles. With a swift movement, I turned her onto her front and lifted her rear into the air, until her ass was touching my pelvis.

She let out a moan of pleasure as I caressed her opening with my fingers. The view of her backside made me quiver with anticipation of what was about to come next.

“You’re so wet,” I observed gruffly.

“I want you, Killian.”

I freed my erection from my pants, not bothering to fully remove them, and plowed into her roughly. She gasped at the sudden entrance, and my eyes closed as I threw my head back in rapture as our bodies became one.

“Yes,” she moaned, curling her fists.

My strong hands grasped her hips firmly, feeling the soft flesh in my palms. I placed one hand on her lower back to serve as a brace and began to thrust my pelvis slowly and steadily. The chase had made me impatient to be inside her, but I was determined to ensure that she reached orgasm before me.
