Page 57 of Own to Obtain

The night approach swiftly while they were walking, and it became too dark to see, almost pitch black. They lay down to rest again waiting for the moon to make an appearance, but it didn’t.

Without warning, Kardos pulled her faced-own underneath him, yanked down her panties, and entered her roughly. She gasped in shock, though her sweat already made her slick for him. “Kardos! What are you doing?”

Once fully seated in her, he moved slowly, filling her up, and hitting all the points within her that made her melt. “What’s it feel like I’m doing, little bird,” he said, his deliciously salacious voice making her stomach tingle.

“This isn’t the time,” she scolded, struggling to speak while he filled her so deeply. “We have to find shelter, and water, and—”

“This is the perfect time,” Kardos said as he pumped her. “There is nothing to be done in this darkness, and I haven’t felt you on my knot for too long.”

A flash of desire spread through her body, hardening her nipples at his words. She pushed her ass up so he could get deeper and groaned as his thrusts hardened.

There was something incredible about having the air so thick around them, and their combined scent perfuming it so richly. When every breath she took was filled with the heady scent of him, it turned her on even more.

Soon, he was slamming into her, her heightened arousal apparent by the abundance of slick on her thighs and the wet that splattered to the ground each time he buried himself deep into her. His grunts and murmurings in Mayaros turned her on so much that she clawed the ground, widening her legs as much as the panties around her knees allowed.

He bellowed as his hips pounding her into the ground and she cried out, almost throbbing by the intense feel of him. Her orgasm burrowed deep into her and then exploded all over her body, causing her to shudder and shake, crying out Kardos’ name as she gripped him.

Kardos brought his hand to her front, pulling her nipples and squeezing her breasts as he told her how beautiful she was in flight, and then buried himself deeply inside her as he spilled, slamming in his knot onto her sensitive and twitching muscles, eager to grip him and hold him in place.

As their breathing calmed, Kardos stroked her chest as his mouth found her ear. “It is my biggest regret that you are not yet with child, Shaya. I hope that will change tonight.”

Shaya frowned as she tried to find the meaning of his words. Why would he try to impregnate tonight? “Kardos,” she said slowly, alarm entering her tone. “Why is important for you to impregnate me tonight?”

“It has always been a priority,” Kardos said. “It’s just you have not yet returned to your heat.”

“You are not saying this because you don’t think will go home, are you? Or find some shelter?” Shaya asked, twisting her head to look at him.

Kardos didn’t answer, he simply kissed her and told her that she was safe and he would never leave her. Over and over again, until she fell asleep.

The next few days remain the same. They walked during the day, drinking the sap from the leaves and engaged in hot and sweaty carnal mating during the cooler nights. Each night was wilder and more delicious than the last—it was like they were out of control, grunting and growling, purely animalistic and carnal in every way. Shaya wasn’t sure why. Possibly it was the heat that made them so sticky and constantly dripping in sweat. Or maybe the overpowering scent of Kardos because of the heat. Either way, she couldn’t get enough of him being buried inside her, or having him in her mouth, or being covered with his seed. It was utterly blissful and the only thing that made the hot days bearable.

It was during one of these nights, when Kardos was holding her jaw, pressing her lips against his as he stared into her eyes, and using her ass to rotated her on his length, that he muttered“Assh rosoyen”and the bond returned. Flaring bold and vivid in her chest, its presence sparked a mating that lasted all night, bolstered by the wild feelings of ownership, joy, and possession that dominated the bond.

However, Shaya started noticing that Kardos was unable to travel as quickly as he had when they first arrived. They hadn’t eaten anything other than the leaves of the plant, and it was clear they were losing strength.

One morning when she woke, she felt strange, but she didn’t have time to dwell on it because she realized they weren’t alone. Dusty, bare feet padded by her head, and she heard mutterings in a strange language. She peeked her head up.

Men!

Shaya stiffened, lowering her eyes as she listened carefully. Their language was unlike any she’d heard before.

She waited to see what they would do, and when they walked a few feet away, she prodded Kardos. It was worrying that he had not woken yet.

He stirred, but Shaya could tell something was wrong. He was unusually hot and his body seemed stiff as though he couldn’t move.

“Kardos,” she said, trying not to let the men hear she was awake. “Kardos,” she muttered again, stroking his face. She searched for the sap leaves, only to find that they had already been burst open. Sucking on her lips she recognized the taste of the leaves. Had he fed them to her during the night?

She elbowed him. “Kardos,” she whispered harshly. “You said we would share the leaves equally.”

Footsteps behind her caused her to stiffen, and then a hand gripped her arm and dragged her out from underneath him. “N-no! Let me go!”

The man didn’t listen; they spoke their strange language as one of them managed to pull her out completely from under Kardos. She was stunned and horrified to see they were both aroused, their erections standing firm beneath the minimal clothing around their waists.

A whip through the air caught her attention, and the man suddenly let her go.

When she looked back, Kardos was propped up on his elbow, that beautiful fiery gaze accompanied by a snarl. A thump caused her to look back to the men, and the one that had been touching her lay on the floor, twitching with the dagger in his neck, while the other ran away.

Kardos grabbed Shaya and pulled her back underneath him.
