The 27th

Chapter 52

Despite being shrouded in darkness, his pupils narrowed, nostrils flaring, taking in the taunting scent of her arousal, sweet as it danced across his tongue as he panted. His hands rested on her hips, flaring out from her narrow waist. She was soft, subtle and alluring now that she had put on weight, his hands squeezing her gently at her remark.

"Are you sure?" His face remained stoic, not allow his emotions to come through and persuade her. This was not up to him. This wasn't about him. He waited his entire life for this moment and he would ensure that this was her choice and her choice only.

She too remained blank as she stared down at him, analyzing her male. She had a predatorial  gaze in her eyes, one he wasn't accustomed to, making him warm at site. He was proud of her, his mate.

Snarling in his face, she snapped her fangs at him, narrowly missing his nose. He was surprised at the action but didn't flinch. He didn't so much as tense his muscles, remaining lax below her. Growling, she grabbed onto the front of his neck with her teeth, her canines threatening to break skin and her, he still didn't react. Rather, he titled his head further back, allowing her, is she willed, to tear his throat out. She bit down harder, snarling at him to react yet he did not. He laid there, baring his throat with his arms stretched out, palms facing the sky. He would never fight his mate.

Noticing this, her body lost all tension and she ceased her test. Releasing his throat, she licked the small beads of blood that formed on his skin, purring as she felt his hands return to her skin. She rubbed her cheek against his, exchanging scents as his hand rested on the back her neck, holding her there. Once satisfied, she lifted her head until her face hovered over his. Her short hair brushed along his cheeks as he tucked her hair behind her ears, the calluses brushing along the sensitive skin making her shiver.

"I am sure." Her warm breath hitting his lips and he watch as her words were carried off by the wind, the white whips curling upwards until they faded away. His control snapped when her lips brushed against his own and he moved.

In a fluid motion, his hands grabbed her thighs just below the curve of her backside and he stood, baring her weight effortlessly. A gasp of left her lips, surprised by his sudden movements and she nipped his jaw in return, soothing the stink with her tongue. She was met with a pleasant rumble of his chest as he began stalking back to their house, to their den. The musky smell of his pheromones grew stronger and she couldn't help but skim her nose again his skin, taking in the scent of him as she did so. She revealed in the fact that he made it very clear that he wanted her as much as she wanted him, that he was as much her and she was his. Wood creaked beneath is bare feet as he climbed the stairs onto the porch and she felt his pace slow as he hesitated at the door. He was allowing her to change her mind, as if getting closer to the inevitable would make her grow nervous, always putting her needs before his own but it made her want him all the more. 

"Go inside, please." She muttered against his skin, refusing to break contact. His chest rumbled again as he kissed her hair line, a hand leaving her thigh to open the door before quickly returning. He paused for a moment to kick the shut but resumed his path to their den, soft furs brushing against the skin of her back a few moments later as he laid her down gently on their bed.

Their lips found each other once again, her back arching towards his warm as his body pressed against hers. His hands left her thighs, slowly trailing up the side of her body, not straying from their path as he moved to cradle her face and head. Her own explored the expansion of his arms and back, feeling the powerful muscles shift under his skin as he moved and breathed. Her hands then moved to his front, gently pushing his shoulders and he obeyed immediately, kissing her once more gently before pulling away, creating a bit of between the two of them. She then moved her hands downwards, smoothing over his pectorals and prominent abdominal muscles, moving lower as did her eyes. He remained hovering above her as she explored, taking him in fully for the first time.

Meeting his eyes, she reached for one of his hands, placing his palm against her breast. She watched his pupils dilate, flickering between her in question.

"It's okay." She released his hand as she reached for him again and he once again obeyed. Her lips parted at the brush of his tongue, the taste of him tantalizing on her tongue. He gave an experiment squeeze and she arched into his touch. Growing more confident, he moved his hand slowly downwards, just as she did to him. Goosebumps appeared on her skin and she shivered as his brushed against her peaked nipple. His hand continued downwards, tickling the soft skin of her stomach as he moved it between her soft thighs. It was then as she let out a breathy moan as he brushed against her and he found her ready for him.

She squirmed beneath him as he continued to touch and stroke her, the sweet scent of her teased his nose and the sounds she was making awarded his ears. "Arias." She panted. "Please." She pulled him towards her and he understood, moving his hand away as he shifted his hips closer, the pair groaning as he grazed her, making him pause. He looked at her again, her eyes hooded with pleasure, the gold burning his soul. She shifted her hips closer and whispered another plea and he was a goner.

Taking himself in his hand, he aligned them together before slowly pushing forward. She was so wet and warm, making it hard to control his breathing but he moved slowly, carefully watching her reactions in case he harmed her or if she wanted to stop. She looked a bit uncomfortable once he was fully inside so he remained still, letting her adjust to him, laying a kiss on her forehead.

Curious, she shifted her hips, finding it not so painful anymore and he groaned next to her ear. Wanting him to make that sound again, she repeated her actions and he took it as time to move. Tentatively and slowly, he pulled out slightly before moving back in. His movements grew more confident and longer as her body relaxed below his once more, her jaw dropping as she moaned in response to his movements.

Panting, he pulled out almost fully before sinking back in, moving at a slow and even pace, the feel of her making his own jaw slack. He groaned at the feel of her, especially when she wrapped herself around his,arms around his neck and legs draped over his hips. The feel of her nails scraping along his spine had him biting back cursed and praises.

Sweat built on their skin as their pleasure rose, their bond growing stronger with each and every movement. He whispered promises against her skin as his hands and body worshiped her. He took him where and now she liked to be touched, how she all but purred when kissed a certain spot on her neck or groaned in her ear.  He teased and stroked until he felt her quivering beneath him, her panting growing louder and sharper as she dug her nails in harder. She cried out as she fell over the edge, thighs shaking and as she sunk her teeth into his neck once more, he joined her, holding her close as he release himself inside her.

Panting, she released his neck and he pulled out after a few moments. Rolling over, he pulled her close and ran his fingered through her hair, down her spine and arms, kissing her head periodically, unable to part from her. A tear slid down his cheek as he felt the bond settle into place, feeling her body and soul as if it were own. She removed her head from his chest and met his eyes, her own watery with tears and the pair realized that they were now one. Two bodies of the same soul, eternally bonded until the end of time.
