Rising onto his knees, he drew up to position his entrance above the tip of my cock. I used his slick to coat my shaft before he cautiously lowered himself over me. With his eyes closed, he bit his lip and pushed down, taking me even deeper into him.
I held him there, my chest pounding against my ribs with an erratic beat.
“Feels different.” He opened his eyes and laid his palms on my shoulders. “Better.”
As he began to rock his hips, I couldn’t help the strangled cry that escaped from my lips. Everything else before seemed minimal compared to the sensations piquing every nerve in my body. Holding his hips, I hoped to assist in his hurried rhythm, but my groin raged with a burgeoning intensity, and it was all I could do to hang on and wait for Falco to arrive closer to his peak.
With every restraint possible, I watched my mate as he rode my cock. The way his mouth hung open between his flushed cheeks as he kept his eyes closed and tilted his body slightly to the left. The way sweat beaded across his forehead and down his chest as his stomach muscles contracted and loosened with every thrust. He was the most gorgeous being I had ever seen in my life, and I couldn’t believe he was mine.
Suddenly, I couldn’t hold anything back. I sucked in a strangled breath then pulled him into me as I took aim for his neck. I bit hard, the fire in my belly no longer contained as I released into Falco. He cried out, but instead of pushing me away, he wrapped his arms around my back and spilled his pleasure between us with a long moan.
When I pulled away, I quickly covered the bite mark with my hand, hoping I hadn’t made him bleed too much. I tried to wiggleout from under Falco so I could get some cloths to clean him up, but he held me still.
“Let me catch my breath first.”
I shook with worry and intense pleasure at the same time. “I hope I didn’t hurt you.”
Shaking his head, he glanced up and cupped my cheek. “I don’t think you could ever hurt me, Vern.”
The intensity of the adoration I saw in his eyes brought on another sob I had to restrain. I had never expected anyone to feel any kind of affection for me, especially with such an intensity. But I felt the same about Falco. I wanted to love him, protect him, and keep him happy for the rest of his life. And as his mate, it was now my duty to do so.
Chapter Seventeen
Falco
Awoken by the light coming in around the edges of the curtain covering the bedroom window, I squinted before pulling the blankets over my head and pulling my body pillow tighter into me. One of the many pillows I needed to sleep with lately. Perhaps that was my body’s version of nesting. Though most of the pillows ended up on the floor by morning.
Vern snuggled in behind me then kissed the back of my neck as he reached around to rub his palm across my belly. “How are you and the little ones doing this morning?”
I nuzzled into my pillow, not ready to get up yet. “Good.”
It hadn’t taken long for me to get pregnant. In all the mpreg fan fic that I’d read, the male who could get pregnant went into heat. Yet, I don’t remember that ever happening to me. I didn’t know if it had to do with the fact that I was human and not a shifter, or if I’d simply gotten pregnant right away. The same day as our mating ceremony based on how much my stomach had grown already.
Vern stilled his palm on the side of my belly where I felt one of my babies pressing from inside me. “I think someone’s feeling a little crowded in there today. I’d better get up and get the birthing center finished before our little ones decide they’re ready to meet the world.”
With a chuckle, I held my hand over his and lightly tried to push the little one back into place. I didn’t know how many babies I carried, but there were at least two of them. And they seemed most active when I tried to sleep. As if my movement caused them to rest, but they didn’t allow me the same courtesy. “I’m going to stay in bed a little longer. See if I can get a bit more sleep.”
The baby on the other side of my belly didn’t like that idea, choosing that moment to object with force. It felt like the little one kicked my belly with all four paws. I gasped at the sudden discomfort.
“That one seems to want you out of bed.” Vern flung the covers off himself and sat up. “Did you get any sleep at all last night?”
“Yeah, some.” I got out of bed, too, inundated with the sudden urge to empty my bladder. “But I’ll likely be walking around half asleep all day.”
By the time Vern was ready to leave, I’d managed to waddle out to the door to see him off. Before having my own babies growing in my belly, I’d always wondered why pregnant people in my world walked in such a manner. The experience made me sympathize with them, especially those who carried more than one at the same time.
With his trapper hat and tool belt in place, Vern cupped my elbows as he kissed my forehead. “Are you going to Walter’s again today?”
I nodded. “In a bit.” Being as far along as I was, Vern didn’t want me home by myself. He would stay if I asked him to, but I knew his work was also important to him. As was the completion of the birthing center for both of us. So, I went to the home of one of the other outer-worlders where they could keep an eye on my pregnant self and answer more questions I’d come up with about raising babies, especially ones that would be born as an animal and eventually shift to human form. I would be the first outer-worlder to give birth to beaver shifters, so no one knew exactly how my delivery would go.
“Okay, good.” Moving to my side to get around my big belly, he kissed me on the lips. “If you have any problems at all, have someone come get me. I think Rauh was planning to visit you there today, too.”
“Good, I do have questions for him.” The village healer had obtained books from the outer world about beaver and human deliveries and read them when he wasn’t supervising the building of the birthing center.
“You sure you’re going to be okay?”
“I love you.” I pressed my palm to Vern’s chest and pushed him out the door. I knew he lingered with worry, but I didn’t yet feel that my babies were ready to come out.
“I love you, too.” He walked backward for a bit before he turned around and headed to work.
