He groans. “Fuck, I love it when you beg.”
Before I can protest that this wasn’t begging, he rocks his hips up, slow, deliberate. With his knot locking us together, I can’t ride him anymore, but we move as one, our bodies sealed in a tight embrace. Arlon shifts his grip and draws my legs around his waist. The new angle changes everything. His knot presses more firmly against that sweet spot inside me, and I go tumbling over the edge. I clamp down around him, screaming his name as pleasure crashes through me, deeper, sharper this time.
Arlon’s cock swells inside me, and then he’s coming, spilling his hot cum deep in my pussy.
“Tessa!”
He wraps his arms around me, holding tight, as if afraid I’ll slip away. So I cling to him just as fiercely, letting him know I’m not going anywhere.
When the tremors finally ease, I glance down between us, expecting his knot to shrink and a messy flood of cum to spill from me. But he stays hard. The knot fills me so completely, not a single drop escapes. I fixate on that instead of my rising feelings that seem too big, too overwhelming for something that was, at its core, just fucking.
Incredible, sensational, once-in-a-lifetime fucking, but still.
“Look at me, love.” Arlon takes my chin and lifts my face so he can look into my eyes. “Are you all right?”
I manage a wobbly grin. “You’re really asking me that? You didn’t feel me come?”
He cocks his head to the side. “You’re not hurt?”
“No. I’m simply wondering what happens now.” I glance down between us, where we’re still joined. “I knew you said we’d be locked together, but for how long?”
His grin turns wicked, and he tumbles me over onto the covers, his big body pressing down on mine. “For however long we want.”
Chapter
Twenty-Nine
ARLON
Tessa is asleep on top of me, her soft breaths warming my skin. I covered us with a blanket when she succumbed to sleep an hour ago.
I haven’t slept a wink, though, because the need for my mate hasn’t abated one bit. With my cock still buried in Tessa’s pussy, there’s no telling when I’ll relax enough to drift off.
I don’t dare move. She was exhausted after a full day’s ride and from our fucking, and when I told her we might have to wait a while for my knot to subside, she mumbled that she liked having me inside her and promptly fell into a deep slumber.
Her final words were enough to keep me hard, and I can’t take it anymore.
I slowly stroke Tessa’s naked back, not wanting to startle her. “Tessa?”
She makes a soft sound and turns her head to the other side, snuggling against my chest.
“Hey,” I try again, brushing her hair out of her face. “I need your help.”
Why had no one mentioned that I’d be this mad for my mate? I saw how hard my friends fell, of course, but I was never privy to their private interactions, and they aren’t the kind of men to kiss and tell. But I never suspected we’d remain locked together for hours, my need still as sharp as it had been.
I thought that finally fucking Tessa would release me from the chokehold she’s had on me, but instead, the fire burns brighter inside my chest. It’s as if an unknown part of me has been pried open and exposed. I feel raw, and the realization that my mate might not feel the same is…sobering.
She’s human. She doesn’t have the same impulses I do. That means we could go our whole lives feeling completely differently about each other, doesn’t it? She enjoyed our fucking, I know that, but will that be enough if her feelings for me never develop into anything more?
I nudge her again, then pet her back, unable to keep my hands off her. “Tessa?”
She stirs awake, and her inner muscles clamp around my dick, strangling my knot. I let out a low groan, already primed from hours spent thinking about fucking her again and not being able to.
“Mm.” She squirms on top of me, sliding her knees to either side of my hips. “Wait, are we still…?”
“Aye.” I slide my palms lower, to her ass, and rock her against me. “I didn’t think it would take this long to release. But it turns out, I like being inside you, too.”
Tessa plants her palms on my chest and pushes up, squinting in the low light. “I can’t see a thing.”
