“More.” His echo hit the body-shaking tone of a seriously large and powerful male, and I quivered head to toes as I felt it pass over me.

“Talk to me,” I added. “Talk more.”

“What do you want me to say?”

My pussy squeezed him greedily. I felt those low vibrations to my core. “A-anything. The weather. Just talk.”

“It is nice outside? Half day, half night.”

“Tell me I’m yours,” I coaxed with a throaty moan.

He sucked in a breath. No matter how sweet he was, he was still an alpha to his core. He growled, “Mine,” with the force of an avalanche. I barely refrained from coming on the spot as I shook with his claim.

He leaked trails of smoke as he panted, his fingers flexing close to my hips. There was still just a little hesitation warring with the alpha desire to grab my hips and claim me hard.

“D-do it. Fuck me,” I coaxed.

The flames in his gaze brightened. He closed his hands ever so carefully around my hips and pulled me into each powerful jolt of his hips. At the apex of each, his heat lingered as his length twitched, on the cusp of a full release. I clutched his arms to brace for how hard he might unleash in me.

Each of his heavy exhales held a snarl and his knot swelled and bumped against my ass. He seemed huge, even seated below me, a mighty redcap just as he was born to be, of a bloodline of kings and ancient conquerors of battlefields.

Yet still my gentle giant. The tendons on his neck stood out with his restraint, giving him a moment to ask in the lowest rumble yet, “May I knot you?”

I swear my heart swelled just like he had, expanding just for him. “Stars.Yes.” I would’ve begged for it. I needed to feel him fully claim me.

He smiled toothily and pulled me into it while I angled my hips, twisting so the edge of his knot slipped inside my pussy to make way for the whole thing. The great drum of his heartbeat matched the flickering of the molten flames within him. His gigantic knot locked into place. He came with a redcap roar fullof monstrous, crackling menace, but I was not afraid even for a moment.

My eyes crossed as his burning hot seed flooded my core. I came screaming his name, and my breeder’s delight was, well,delightedat how I could feel the liquid weight of his heated come settling inside me. I fell against his chest, boneless and trembling as we traded bliss, with my channel still squeezing his knot for more.

His body shifted abruptly under my cheek, becoming smaller with a great gust of hot steam. Thank the stars this poor couch had a fireproofing spell, otherwise we would’ve set it alight. I shifted and settled on his knot again, seating it firmly inside me. It hadn’t reached its maximum size when he was in full rage form, so it was still inflating and spurting ropes of seed, which further drew out my pleasure.

He stroked my cheek without the threat of claws and made a sound somewhere between a laugh and a sob. I cracked my eyes open to look up at him, feeling like we’d reversed roles. If he was about to cry, I was going to be quite upset.

“I can feel the rage settling, li’l bird. It’s contained.Finally.” His eyes were gray and held a hint of shine. Tears of joy. He squished me in a bear hug as a pair of tears evaporated off his face with a sizzle.

“I’m so happy it worked,” I said, muffled against his chest.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. Knotting really did satisfy the rage,” he said with wonder.

“You’re welcome.” I would have saidanytimebut it felt a little impersonal for the intimacy we’d just shared. Even if he could knot me most any time he wanted to, after we became official packmates.

He came a bit more, which had us moaning together again. I mourned that, once I worked myself free of his knot today, I hadto somehow stay off my mates’ cocks until we were gathered and ready for my heat.

Kauz shifted and cleared his throat. He’d settled on the chair I’d pulled over earlier, and had held himself quite still. I jumped, having forgotten he was even there, and Tormund gave a great startle. “Ah!Ach. Were you watching this whole time?” he demanded.

The winged fae raised a brow. “Aye. With a stunning spell ready, just in case. Not that I doubted you for a moment, Tormund, but that’s my Always who just took you in full rage form.” He pinched the side of a lightning bolt made of his starry white essence and snapped it like the string of a bow. It hit the floor and dissipated into sparks.

“I understand,” Tormund replied. “I’d stun me, too. Twice. I mean, if?—”

I giggled and spoke up to interrupt him. “I’m ready for you,” I said to Kauz, trying to wiggle my ass. He got the idea, at least, and drew to his feet.

Since I’d had a flaming hot redcap to fuck, I hadn’t noticed when the stretch in my ass had stopped, but the essence mesh was a cool counterpoint to how heated my body had gotten. It’d stretched me and then let my ass relax back to its natural state, but now ready to be claimed. Kauz squeezed my hips and ass while he stole a sideways kiss, before he strode out of my line of sight.

“First, you both look like you need this,” he said, returning with two full glasses of water.

I said thanks, while Tormund narrowed his eyes. “What are you planning?”

Kauz grinned. “Drink up. You’re going to want to be hydrated for this.”
