Page 17 of Griffen's Mate

He pulled his mouth off hers and looked into her beautiful, unusual, golden eyes as he slowly slid out of her and glided back in. Her gasps were so sexy, and he tensed his muscles as the soft pads of her fingers trailed over his stomach. He was ready to burst, and he knew he wasn’t going to be able to last long. He was in heaven as he breathed in her scent and she gazed up at him with passion-filled eyes. All he had to do was hold out until she came.

Griffen watched as her gaze left his and she mewled when she saw his muscles strain and tense with each retreat and enter. She glanced down and caught a glimpse of him entering her, and she moaned and dug her fingers into his flesh. He picked up his pace and made sure he was fully seated in her with each drive into her. Hope started to lift her butt up, meeting his thrusts. He groaned as her breasts bounced with her movements and stilled to gather himself and not let go. She hissed her annoyance, and he couldn’t help the chuckle that slipped out. She ran her hands over his chest and back, and the immense ecstasy that washed over him was the best type of torture.

Moving again, Griffen pushed into her, and she closed her eyes and gasped. “Yes. More. Don’t stop.”

He hoped she was close to falling over the edge, because he was ready to let go. Each stroke had him rising higher and higher, grunting with frustration and the need to give her pleasure. He picked up her thigh, and leaned down so his face rested in her shoulder. Hope gripped his back, and if she had nails, he’d bet she would have made him bleed.

“You’re mine,” he growled. “Tell me you belong to me. Whose are you? Tell me,” he snarled, his wolf breaking out.

“Yours. I’m Griffen’s,” she replied, her voice breathless.

“Yes. Mine,” he howled. “My mate.”

Griffen nibbled on her earlobe as he pistoned into her. He was about to blow, and her core gripped him so tightly he knew she was close too.

Resting on the spot between her shoulder and neck, he let his wolf come out, and then growled, “Mate. Mine,” before he bit down, claiming his mate.

She screamed, and her body shook with her release. Her pussy quivered around him, squeezing his cock in a vise-like grip as his dick started to swell at the base. Griffen pumped into her with a final deep push before letting himself fall and coming so hard he grunted and let out a long, loud howl. He let go of her neck and licked her mate mark, and she mewled and moaned as his cock swelled and locked them together.

He was wrung out, but she felt amazing against him. He looked at her, and his falling in love with her became had fallen. She was gorgeous with a euphoric smile spread wide across her face and her eyes glazed with a dreamy rapture. He didn’t tell her he loved her, but he kissed her forehead and both cheeks before pressing a quick kiss to her lips.

“I thought this would be hot as nature is in your blood or how your people live, but I kind of didn’t think about the aftermath when we are stuck here for half an hour or so.”

“Mmm,” she moaned.

He chuckled at the thought that she was so happy she couldn’t even respond. His chest swelled, and if he wasn’t attached to her, he was sure he would strut around like he was the big man as he’d satisfied his woman so well she couldn’t speak. He nuzzled her neck, and she sighed loudly.

“How about I roll so you’re not on the hard ground?” he said.

He didn’t wait for her answer as he maneuvered the roll and tried to keep the clothes under him for some comfort. She still didn’t say anything, but she snuggled against his chest, and he was surprised when she fell asleep.

He couldn’t sleep while he was still inside her, but he happily basked in their aftermath and enjoyed watching her sleep. A peace washed over him, and he knew things were going to be okay. They had to be, because he was would never give up what he had now. He hugged her to him, and she sighed in contentment.

Hope

She and Griffen had sex, or made love, and it had been amazing, better than anything she could have imagined. Faith, Remy, Lexie, and the other girls came to pick her up for a shopping trip. She was going to choose clothes herself and not have the girls buy them for her online.

As they walked around the shopping center Remy and Faith kept staring at her and smirking. She knew it was because she was walking around like she had her head in the clouds, but she was really fighting to stay the light olive skin and brown eyes like a human. Hope knew she was flashing rainbow a lot because one of the girls would hiss at her when she did, but it was because she couldn’t stop thinking about how smooth Griffen’s skin had felt under her and how hard it was too. Hope loved the feel of his muscles flexing and straining. She moaned.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, Hope,” Remy huffed. “I’m not a goddamn wolf, but I bet you smell of arousal.” She winked. “Should we go somewhere quiet? Have you got something to tell us?”

Ava held her nose with one hand and the other held her stomach as she waddled along. “Trust me, be glad you’re not, Remy. I didn’t think Hope had a smell, but bloody hell, today all I can smell is her need and want and my brother.” She shivered. “It’s bad enough I have to put up with lust smells for my brothers from Faith, Remy, and Kirby, now I have to add you too,” she groaned. “I thought when you didn’t have a scent that I wouldn’t have to put up with the smells from you.” She let her hand fall from her nose and rested it on her belly.

Kirby, who had her son in a sling and had been quiet as the others talked, spoke up. “I wouldn’t complain too much, Ava, because I’m not a wolf, but everyone knows when Logan has scored.” She raised her hands and bracketed the word scored with her fingers. “He tells anyone who’s willing to listen how powerful his sperm is to have knocked up his woman with triplets. He struts around like he’s God’s gift.” She shivered dramatically. “So, I don’t need to smell anything—he bloody tells everyone.”

Hope smiled as she watched her friends. She had friends and family. Right now her life was like the best dream she’d ever had. She tried not to be scared, because she’d gone so long without any of the things she had now, and she was terrified the other shoe would drop...or at least she thought that was what she’d heard people say. Expressions were another thing she was still learning. She learnt things with visions before, but now she was learning through reading, and friends and family showing her things.

The shopping center wasn’t that busy. It was early morning and relatively safe. They only had really watch for zombies, which were humans that demons had gotten a hold of and given some of their blood and made them under their control. Demons didn’t like the daylight. They could go out in it, but they avoided it. They hadn’t taken over the world yet and were still staying mostly hidden. But Hope knew if they ever did conquer Earth they would go out in the daylight.

Remy bumped her shoulder. “You with us, Hope?”

She shook her head. “Sorry, I was lost in thought.”

“Yeah, I gathered that, and that it wasn’t about sexy times.” Remy smiled, but Hope just nodded. Thinking about the demons always brought her mood down.

“How about we go to the food court?” Lexie butted in. She rubbed her belly. All the mated women were pregnant or had a baby.
