Page 71 of Theirs to Crave

Revik muffled his roar against my back, driving deep, and I moaned as he swelled impossibly thicker inside me. The pulsing heat of his climax drove aftershocks through my sensitized body, stealing my vision.

Eventually, the waves of pleasure faded.

Revik murmured softly, nuzzling my back with gentle, worshipful affection as he petted my cheek with his battered tail.

I drew in a deep, satisfied breath and stretched, purring.

“You were not very quiet.”

I chuffed a laugh, then yelped as Revik spun me around. I stumbled, my eyes widening as he knelt and ran his hands up my thighs.

“Estrayuh probably heard you,” he said, baring his teeth in a wicked grin when I whimpered. “I should punish you,” he mused, and trailed his claws through the wet fur covering my sheath.

My cock twitched. If he did that, Estrayuh and I might not make it to the village today.

“But seeing her kin will make her happy. And knowing you will feel my cock with every step you take makesmehappy.” He grinned, the sweet, boyish smile so few got to see. “But you can’t escort her like this.”

Revik’s tongue licked a hot line across my spent cock. He hummed. “Let me clean you up.”

When he’d lapped up all the evidence of my pleasure, I was fully erect once more with my hands buried in his head fur. He nipped my hip, and I regretfully lowered my arms.

Revik stood in a single, fluid movement, his head tilted at a cocky angle. “This, you carry with you,” he said, slapping my cum-filled ass. “Go. I’m going to wash up. Tell Litha to meet me at the river, thetsalenneed thinning.” Without waiting for a reply, Revik bounded off.

I planted my hands on my hips, looked down at my stubbornly waving cock, and sighed.If I walk very slowly back to the den, perhaps it will go down before I terrify Estrayuh out of her mind?

How were the others who’d taken in thetetezha’adoing, I wondered. Were all of our new kin so embarrassed by intimacy? Or was Estrayuh’s reaction related to the loss of her mate?

If they all reacted so poorly to witnessing sex, life in the village would be uncomfortable. For their sakes, I hoped the discomfort was a peculiarity of Estrayuh’s grief. Saytireka would be insufferable if she thought they were trying to keep us from mating.

I picked up my pace. No need to delay further, since my problem had disappeared as soon as I thought of my mother.

Chapter 21

Estrella

Iwinced and sucked in a breath, raising a foot piteously. It was a masterful performance. I even sold it with a little hop and a whimper.

Zafett hovered beside me, a low sound of concern vibrating in his throat.

Inside, I was so smug I might burst. Outside, I leaned against his supporting hand and let him see me smile, bravely.

My feet did hurt. The extra wraps Litha’d wound around them had helped, for about five minutes. The pain wasn’t why I limped, though.

He’d been ignoring me. Litha had been weirdly distant, too. Revik hadn’t even stuck around long enough to not talk to me—he’d been gone before I got up.

It was pissing me off.

This hot, cold, hot, cold thing they had going wasn’t working for me. Yesterday had been amazing. Even the attack the day before—which had been fucking horrific in the moment—mademe tingly to think about. The way they’dmoved. It had been brutal, and beautiful, and it hit some cave woman part of me that said,Ug. Strong warriors keep safe. Make strong babies. Mate now.

This morning I’d woken up and decided to give them a little treat, since they’d been so wonderful. I’d needed Litha’s help because I was not a crafty girl, but now?

I looked good. And neither he nor Litha had spared me a fucking glance. I’d strippednakedin front of Litha, and she’daverted her eyes!

I wouldn’t stand for it.

We’d trimmed my tunic and cut a slit up the center so I could tie it beneath my boobs. It didn’t give me the anti-gravity support of my prized $80 bras, but it was worlds better than nothing at all, and my cleavage was popping.

Litha found me a rope to use as a belt, and my skirt now hit just above my knee, flashing a satisfying amount of jiggly thigh when I walked. I’d have to do something about the chub rub soon, but the shorter length had the unexpected benefit of catching on less jungle crap as we hiked.
