“Oh yeah?”
He pulled out, all the damned way, and I fumed until he rammed his huge cock into my channel again, going so deep, I dug my fingers into his back as tremors wracked my body.
“Is that what you wanted?”
Instead of answering, I wrapped my legs around his hips, locking my ankles at the small of his back. I pulled him closer and muttered, “Move.”
He thrust back in and each powerful plunge hit that spot deep inside me, while I brushed my fingers over his stubble and his lips. I thought about the whispered promises that had passed through them and blinked away tears of joy. Creven buried his face in the curve of my throat and nibbled at the delicate skin before lapping at it to ease the sting.
He plowed into me and each powerful spoke created a friction that intensified deliciously with each thrust. Sweat dotted his brow and his hair stuck to his skin as he continued to fuck me with droplets falling onto my chest.
His thrust in deeper and faster and his breathing sped up as did mine. The bed complained while I arched my back and as I lifted my hips, I took his cock in deeper.
“Yes… oh gods, yes.” I choked on the words until they became a whimper as Creven intensified his thrusts. The bed creaked as skin slapped against skin and our gasps and whimpers mingled. I clenched around him, knowing ripples of please would be lapping at his body. He moaned and bit the soft part of my ear.
I couldn’t hold on much longer, a predicament where I longed for release but wanted the fucking to continue. But my orgasm wasn’t creeping up, it was hurling toward me like a freight train. My body convulsed and sweat dribbled into my eyes, making it difficult to see. But that made my climax more intense as I was feeling him, scenting the slick and reacting to his grunts of pleasure.
Tugging at his hair, cum spurted from my cock over both of us and me coming triggered his own release. With a roar and his head thrown back, his cock pulsed deep within me.
Creven collapsed onto me as his knot swelled and filled me. When the tremors subsided, he kissed the mark on my shoulder.
We lay in one another’s arms as the mountain air cooled our skin. My eyes closed and I was drifting off to sleep when my beast surged forward.
We can’t wait. With a baby on the way, you must mark him. In my wolf’s mind, Creven had marked and claimed me twice, one with his bite, and again by getting me pregnant.
I’d fought this urge but I was floating on a cloud of pleasure and my body was like jello. I could have gathered my strength and fought my beast, demanding he pull back and marking Creven would be done when I decided it was right.
But I couldn’t argue with him and his instinct to mate and mark was honed by shifters over centuries. With a baby cradled in my belly, the half-bond wasn't enough.
“It’s time.” Claws erupted from my fingertips and my canines lengthened. "I can't and I won’t…”
My mate didn’t pull away but tilted his head and bared his throat. He trusted me. My heart somersaulted and my wolf howled.
"Do it.”
My teeth sunk into my mate’s flesh. The permanent scar would be a sign to every shifter that we were bonded, though Creven had the sign of a rogue clawed into his shoulder. But our connection was unbreakable and it brought on a sense of calm that was at odds with our precarious situation.
Mine.
"It's done.” I licked the blood from his wound to speed up the healing.
We were still wrapped around each other, when an approaching vehicle made us both freeze. A door slammed and footsteps approached the cabin.
“Hello. I’m back.”
I scrambled for my clothes. Auden would scent sex but shifters weren’t weird or squeamish about people having sex. He would note the fresh mating mark at the base of my mate’s throat, though.
When we opened the door, Auden ran his eyes over me and broke into a grin. “Congratulations and not just for the pregnancy."
Heat flooded my cheeks. Not because he’d caught us in a post-coital glow but he’d sussed out the little one in my belly.
"How did you?—"
“The baby?" Auden's grin widened. "I've been around long enough to scent when an omega is pregnant." His expression grew more serious. "But the completed bond... that changes things."
"What do you mean?" Creven asked, his arm automatically coming around my waist.
"Well,” Auden settled himself on our porch steps. "The good news is I've found a solution to your problem. The bad news is, it's going to require both of you to be brave."
