I swallow and give him a sympathetic smile. “I do. I don’t know your past or what you’ve been through, but I do know you well enough to know you’re not just some hardened hunter without a soul. You care for your people, and that includes your mate, whether you accept her bond or not. If you do, trust me when I say that it will guide you in the right direction.”
He looks away, studying the people around us, keeping his eyes out for anything amiss as he sighs. “I hope you’re right, Jeff. Not accepting a bond may very well be a death sentence. There may be no choice for me, but I don’t want to ruin my one chance, either. I want to do right by her.”
“And you will. I know you will. Plus, if you ever need help, I’m here, Vahru would help you, but I think if you listen to your heart and be honest with her, you’ll find that your instincts already know what to do.” I grin at him before turning away, catching the eye of my mate as she saunters toward me, a smile on her plump lips.
Terax clears his throat, his head shaking slightly in my peripheral as he shifts on his feet. “I’ll head back into the village for rounds and check in with the others. Good evening, Lieutenant.” Terax nods to me before stepping away, leaving me to stare at the woman of my dreams as her hips sway toward me, her skirt blowing in the small breeze. Her dark hair waves around behind her, exposing the mark on her shoulder that’s all mine.
“All the kids are settled for the evening, so I’m all yours now.” She grins as her arms slide around my shoulders, her body falling against mine. I slip my hands to her waist and pull her close, relishing in the feel of her body.
“You do well with them. They listen to you, some may even love you already. It’s amazing how well you handle them.” I grin at her as she bats her lashes, the brightest smile I’ve ever seen stretching her lips.
“You really think so? That makes me so happy because I want a whole litter of my own one day!”
My brows raise as I chuckle. “Is that so? Well, my lady, you may be in luck because I think I just might be able to arrange that.”
She squeals with glee as she stomps her feet before jumping up and wrapping her legs around my waist, her arms squeezing my neck. I laugh as I grab onto her, holding her tight as I struggle to keep my feet on the ground at her sudden attack.
“Think we could go practice right now?” She whispers in my ear before grabbing it between her teeth, and it takes all my willpower to keep my cock from jumping to attention right in front of everyone. As much as I love the clothes Willa makes for me, they aren’t thick enough to hide a boner.
Turning, I quickly march back up the path, heading straight for our home as she giggles, trailing kisses along my neck and face. It makes it hard to see at times, but I can’t be too angry because her excitement is adorable. Stumbling up the front steps, I throw the door open and kick it closed behind me before rushing over to the bed, where I drop her onto her back, my body falling with her as she refuses to let me go.
Tangled in her limbs, my lips find hers quickly as I kiss her like my life depends on it, her fingers sinking into my short hair as she rubs her hands all over me. Her legs tighten around me as I swallow down her moans before letting my lips trail down her chin and neck. She loosens her hold to let me slip down her body. My knees drop to the floor, and I quickly slip the skirt of her dress up, tsking as I find her bare and wet for me already.
“My naughty little Kitten, you’ve been running around like this all day? I ought to punish you. If someone had seen what was mine…” I growl as I lean over her, shoving my tongue between her pussy lips as it plunges inside her. She arches, moaning as her nails scrape across my scalp, her thighs widening as she begs for more.
“I’d never let anyone but you see me, Captain. Only you!” She cries out as she comes on my tongue, and I devour her, loving her words. When she calms down, panting for breath as she lies heavily against the sheets, I crawl up over her.
“You’re damn right, no one but me. You’re my naughty Kitten, aren’t you?”
She nods, reaching for me as I pull away, standing up and removing my shirt. Her bottom lip slips between her teeth as her eyes trail over her mark on my skin, and I smirk. “Thirsty, Kitten?”
As I slowly undo the drawstring on my shorts, she sits up, sliding from the edge of the bed to her knees. My shorts are ripped from my grasp as she pulls them to my ankles, her gaze locked on mine. When her eyes drop, she smirks. “It seems you were just as naughty today, Captain. What if someone caught a glimpse of what was mine?”
Her words are sweet and seductive as her nails slide down my thighs. My head drops back as I exhale, loving her angry side. She runs her tongue along the underside of my cock, the heat of her mouth enveloping me, but her lips never close. Her teeth gently graze the skin as she pulls back, making a point to lick the precum from my tip, causing my cock to jerk.
“I want to hear you say it, Captain. Who does this belong to?” Once again, she gives me that ridiculously sweet, seductive tone that belies the possessive, angry emotions beneath it.
My eyes pop open as my left brow raises, my gaze slowly dropping to meet hers. She stares back at me, challenging me for control as she waits for a response, and I must admit, I kind of like this side of her. Licking my lips, I quietly respond. “Only you, Kitten.”
The Cheshire Cat grin that crests her lips as she purrs in joy is so adorable I can’t help but grin back at her. “You’re damn right.” She winks at me before opening her mouth and sliding onto me, sucking deep as she pulls back.
I groan as I chuckle, my head falling back as she devours me with the same ferocity I did her. Unfortunately, I’m forced to stop her long before I want to or we won’t be getting to the practice she wanted. “On all fours, Kitten.”
She stands, letting her dress-clad breasts rub up my chest as she licks her lips before spinning, her tail slapping my leg as she climbs onto the bed. Her tail is raised enough to pull the skirt of her blue dress up, exposing her to me as her hips sashay with each movement she makes, and I can’t resist the urge to spank her, just once. She jerks, a small yelp coming from her before her elbows hit the sheets, her ass in the air for me.
As I climb up behind her, her tail wraps around my waist, making me chuckle. Any way she can keep me close, she’ll use it. Sliding into her, we both moan at the feel. I keep my pace slow, languid, not wishing to end it too soon. Willa, on the other hand, has other ideas. Her hips thrust back into mine more and more as she moans.
“Please, Captain, fill me up.”
Pulling back, I slam into her, causing her to scream as her pussy convulses around me, making me groan. I’m not gonna last very long at this rate. Slipping my hands across her ass, I let my thumb rub at her back entrance gently. She whispers yes over and over until my digit sinks inside. Once she’s relaxed and adjusted, I slip two fingers in, pushing down toward my cock as she comes harder than before, her body stiffening.
I pause for a moment, letting her relax and release her hold on me to continue. As I build back up, she once again begs for more, so I slip my other hand up her back. As she arches, I slip my fingers along her cheek and into her mouth. She sucks on them, moaning around them as I pound into her. “Is this what you wanted, Kitten, to have every one of your holes filled by me?”
She comes once more at my words, and that’s all I can take. Slamming in one final time, my cock twitches with release, filling her with all I have. When I pull back, releasing her completely, she collapses to the bed, sighing. I chuckle before noting the cum slipping from her, the skirt of her dress still hiked around her waist. Leaning over her body, I slide two fingers into her, making her moan once more.
“Can’t have that slipping out or you won’t get that litter.” She chuckles as I kiss her cheek, my fingers sliding all the way in before slowly sliding back out. She shivers once and sighs as I lie down beside her, exhausted.
“We should definitely do that again.”
