CHAPTER SIXTEEN
E zra’s chest vibrated, his tiger excited and impatient to meet her panther.
The evening air hit them and he took a deep breath, taking in the foliage scented from baking in the sun all day.
Deep in the forest behind his house, it would be darker, and his tiger would have no issue seeing their mate.
Lucky was wearing a flowy dress, so it took nothing for her to slip out of the shoulders and the dress to fall at her feet.
His mouth watered as her nude body was exposed.
Had he known she’d not been wearing anything while they ate lunch, the whole day would’ve gone differently.
She gave him a mischievous smirk and her body folded, her fur pushing through her pores as she shifted into her panther.
The change was seamless and painless, energy crackling all around her body as the beautiful cat emerged.
It meant she was in tune with her animal, which he liked a lot.
Her panther rushed toward him and Ezra dropped down to his haunches to meet it.
The cat butted against his chin, rubbing her fur along his body to scent mark him.
He chuckled and grabbed her head, nuzzling against the cat.
Her panther chuffed against his skin, a pleased whine as he talked to her in a soft voice.
He’d given the panther time to mark him with its scent and get acquainted with the man.
Lucky nipped at his chin, urging him to shift.
He chuckled and gave in, moving back to do so as his tiger slammed against his chest, an impatient growl vibrating his throat.
“Run, princess,” he ordered her, and she took off.
Ezra unleashed the hold he had on his tiger and the animal rushed forward, shifting his body within seconds.
His consciousness was pushed to the back as the animal fully took over.
Instead of giving chase immediately, the tiger paced the cement of the patio, giving their mate a true head start.
Anticipation had his body trembling. Once enough time had passed, the cat took off, the thrill of the chase burning through him.
The colors of the forest flattened, the reds disappearing as his tiger took over his vision.
Lucky’s scent was in the air, mixing with the ocean scents coming through the back of his forest where it turned to beach.
He skulked through trees he’d spent years traipsing through, hunting for his elusive panther.
There were places where her scent was louder than the other but still, she was good.
It pleased his tiger immensely.
He was a patient hunter, his steps light, quiet as he searched for her.
The wind changed direction and her scent cut through the air, rewarding him for his patience.
He growled low and took off. Fallen leaves crunched beneath his paws and hers, making it easy for him to follow her as she darted from the shadows.
Panthers were faster than tigers, so he knew if she wanted, she could outrun him with no problem.
Lucky’s animal jumped through his trees, bounding off the trunks, bold and magnificent.
She moved quickly, but his tiger did have one up on her, though. Using his powerful legs, he jumped, taking her down.
Limber and powerful, she wriggled from beneath him before he could put his weight onto her.
Lucky slipped from him, this time shifting into her human form.
Naked, her brown skin glowed beneath the rising moonlight.
Following her lead, Kaine shed his tiger and raced after her.
The excitement in her scent reached him, urging him faster as she darted through the tree.
His heart rate sped, his pulse thundering in anticipation of having her beneath him.
He started gaining on her and the sharp scent of her panic mingled with her lust. His tiger’s power raised, giving him a burst of adrenaline.
He jumped again, tackling her, turning his body to take the brunt of the fall.
Her chest rose and fell with her panicked breathing, and his animal responded.
Dark, carnal thoughts fed the energy filling his body.
Growling low, he turned and pinned her beneath him.
Her eyes were wide, pupils dilating as her panther responded.
Lucky bucked, her heated center grazing his dick.
Holding down her waist, Kaine hissed as she drove her claws into his arms.
“Open for me,” he ordered, his voice deep, his tiger making its presence known.
His mate obeyed, her legs dropping open even as she still fought beneath him, writhing and biting at his skin.
He damn near purred at the fact that her bites would remain on his skin for days.
Before she could catch her breath, Ezra was driving into her heated center.
He closed his eyes as her pussy clamped down around him.
Feral possession gripped him and the need to mark her had him pressing his claws harder into her hips.
Lucky responded with a scream as she arched her back, taking him deeper.
Her nails raked his chest and he hissed at the furrows welting across his skin.
He leaned down and kissed her, his tongue invading her mouth aggressively as he thrust into his mate.
Lucky separated their mouths, scraping her teeth across his neck.
His body shivered and Ezra gripped her thighs tightly, pushing her knee higher so that he could plunge deeper.
Her whimper of pleasure sent a shiver down his spine.
The tip of his dick ached right beneath the head where his barb was primed, ready to release with his mating bite.
His tiger pushed, but Kaine wrestled the animal under control.
Until their mate was ready, he wouldn’t push her.
With every pulse of her inner walls, it was harder to reason with the cat.
Sweat built between them, their bodies sliding together as pleasure shut down all sense of time.
Being gentle was impossible, the hot clasp of her pussy driving him primal.
Kaine scraped his teeth down her skin, biting hard enough to leave marks that would last weeks.
“You feel so fucking good,” she moaned, her eyes glowing with her panther.
His tiger responded, and Kaine drove harder into their mate.
“I’m a good girl, right, taking this dick so well?” she taunted, her hips undulating beneath him.
“So. Fucking. Well. Princess,” he growled, then sped his strokes, rough, deep pushes that had her digging her claws deeper into his skin. “Such a good girl.”
He lost himself in the bliss of her body, her voice egging him on in his ear.
If there were any doubts that this woman was made for him, the way she shit-talked as he fucked her into the ground chased them away.
She was his, his match in every way. His balls tingled and her body tightened, her pussy squeezing him as an orgasm swept through her.
He was right behind her, groaning as he came, filling her.
He held her down, his tiger lamenting the fact that their barb was not locking them in place to ensure that her body was prepped for possible offspring.
Lucky hummed, the sound broadcasting her satiation. “I love when Tiger comes out to play.”
Kaine chuckled, rolling over so that her weight was now on top. “You need to watch the way you talk to me, or we’ll be out here all night.”
She rolled her hips. “I have no problem riding this dick until the sun comes up.”
“I’ma hold you to that,” he growled, wrapping his hand around her throat and bringing her down for a kiss. “And you better take every fucking stroke.”
Her body shuddered and their kiss was wet, desperate. He would make his mate keep her word for sure.
