Page 18 of Orc's Mate

My pendant glowed, nearly blinding in its intensity.

She may not wish to be mated with an orc, she may not find me attractive, but it was clear that I stirred something inside her.

I could work with it.

Her virginity didn’t matter. Well, it did. Knowing I’d be her first made me want to puff my chest and roar, a completely stupid feeling. It shouldn’t matter if she was experienced or not. I wanted her. That was all that mattered.

“You want me to touch myself?” she asked in shock.

“Yes. Show me how you pleasure your body.”

“I . . .” She pinched her eyelids shut and when they opened again, a hint of lust lingered there.

I could work with that too.

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to,” I said, continuing to make smooth circles on her thighs, slowly working my hands higher. She may not have realized it, but as I rubbed her legs, she kept moving them apart.

“It feels weird to think of doing that while you watch,” she gulped out.

“I could look away while you do it. You could . . . describe what you’re doing. That would be enough.”

Her laugh hitched in her throat, cut off too soon. “I thought the whole point of me pleasuring myself was for you to watch.”

There wasn’t much I wouldn’t do to be given such a chance. “I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”

She dragged in a breath and whooshed it out, sending a few stray wisps of her glorious hair flipping up into the air before it settled with the rest. I couldn’t look away from its lovely length. It was all I could do not to unbraid it and bury my face in the strands.

“You could close your eyes,” I said. “Pretend I’m not here.”

“You won’t . . . attack me or anything, will you? I mean, if I expose myself.”

“I’ve told you I won’t touch you until you want it.” And I was going to do everything I could to make sure she wanted it, and soon. I’d felt her gaze linger on me, and it wasn’t with derision. Like I couldn’t look away from her, she had the same absorption as me.

She was my mate. This was how it was supposed to be, but it still thrilled through me, making my cock surge up even further. I couldn’t wait for the time she curled her finger my way, urging me to climb all over her. Bury myself deeply inside her body.

“Alright.” Her skin quivered, and her giddy laugh slipped out. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.” With a quick tug, she lifted her skirt up to her waist, exposing the garment she wore beneath. “The few times I’ve touched myself, I first made sure I was alone. It would be embarrassing for anyone to see something like this.”

“I’m your mate. There’s nothing embarrassing about showing me how to please you, let alone to expose your body to me.”

“We only recently met.”

“We’ll eventually know each other intimately.”

“I guess you’re right.” With one last long look at me, she hitched down her undergarment, and her slickness gleamed in the morning light.

I groaned and her gaze met mine, containing a knowing that some females seemed to be born with. She understood that I wanted her. That Icravedher. I’d never deny it.

What I wouldn’t give to lick her between the legs, to suck on her clit and keep doing it until she shouted her pleasure.

Soon.

“I’mgoing to close my eyes,” she said. “You’re looking at me like you want to consume me.”

“I wouldn’t be Odik if I didn’t.” Yes, I’d consume her, though not today. Perhaps I’d take a bit longer to reach our home. I could afford an extra day. By then, she might even let me touch her.

“Show me what makes you feel good,” I said, stroking her thighs. I was so close to her, I could see everything from her engorged clit to the wetness dripping from her tight passage.

“Don’t talk,” she barked. “If you do, I’m going to remember you’re here, and then I won’t be able to fully relax.”
