Chapter 16
Erick
We pull into a residential neighborhood a few blocks from the schools and ironically close to Great Falls Hospital where Nan, Sly and Wiley are performing surgery on my hockey player.
I brazenly park in the driveway while Cricket and Doralee idle in the middle of the street.
It takes nothing to bust the lock on James’s door and I let myself in with my gun drawn.
I’d prefer not to shoot anyone. Bullets leave a forensic nightmare I’m not interested in dealing with.
Finding someone torn apart by a wild animal is way more baffling for the cops and easier for us to walk away from.
The worst fallout is from headlines, causing humans to get trigger-happy with wild animals stumbling into the neighborhood.
I pull Kylian inside and glance out the door, locking eyes with Cricket. “All clear.”
He nods and parks a couple houses away.
“So, what are we doing? We've got breaking and entering, are we going to do a little vandalism next?” Kylian bends over and unlaces her boots, kicking them off before she jumps up on the counter and flashes me a coy smile.
And I was worried she would not be down with this idea. “I was thinking about doing to him what he did to us.”
“What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing.” She plants her heels on the counter, spreads her thighs wide and crooks her finger in my direction. “Come here, mate.”
I set my gun down and yank my shirt over my head with a growl.
Gripping the waistband of her leggings, Kylian is in tune with my machinations and lifts her ass as I rip off her leggings, helping me get her naked as quickly as possible.
Someday soon, I’ll take my time worshipping every inch of her body, lavishing her breasts and teasing her nipples, rubbing her back and biting her ass, trailing my tongue over every smooth layer like she deserves.
But she understands this is as much about function as it is pleasure, leaving a statement that would make James want to burn his house down, if he lived long enough to sleep here.
With my mate naked, I shed my jeans and pull her legs up on my shoulders, diving face first into her pussy—her taste sweet and tart after being teased and played with for so many miles.
I slip two and then three fingers inside of her, pumping and stretching while rubbing against her g-spot. “My mate needs to come.”
“Yes, please,” she moans, her release hovering on the edge.
“Where’s your bear?” I hiss against her slick lips, my fangs descending.
Looking up between her legs, I find her staring down at me, her eyes golden and glowing.
Her bear is watching and hopefully not fighting her or this orgasm.
I know my eyes are glowing too because my bear is charging forward, ready to claim his mate.
“Come for me, babygirl. Come now and let me know you're ready for my cock.”
Kylian collapses on the counter, her back arching as she rolls her head back and forth and yells at herself, or maybe she’s yelling at her bear, “Let go, let go, let fucking go!”
Her thighs clamp shut around my head, her cunt grips and spasms around my fingers and her pussy gushes into my palm.
She’s so fucking wet there’s a puddle forming underneath her ass and trickling over the counter’s edge to the floor.
Part of me wants to lick up every drop. Normally, I wouldn’t let another male near my mate’s cum but the point is to rub it in James’s face, fucking with his head and turning him into a careless, mindless monster.
Pulling my hand free, I fist my cock and slide the tip along her slick folds while her pussy continues to quiver with her climax. “Are you ready for me, mate?”
“Y—” I don’t wait for her to answer and slam home, knowing it will hurt no matter what.
Kylian’s back bows off the counter, a guttural roar tearing from her throat.
I’m poised to jump out of the way, watching for the first signs that her bear is going to break free but Kylian collapses back on the counter and pants for breath.
“Look at me, babygirl.”
She lifts her head and her eyes are the same—her bear still watching by unwilling to come out and play.
Okay, we’re moving on to Plan B.
Pulling Kylian into my arms while keeping her impaled on my cock, I carry her down the hall to the bedrooms. I kick open the last door, expecting and finding James’s room and set her down on the bed.
Our eyes meet as I hover over her and slowly drag my cock in and out of her tight cunt. “Did I hurt you?”
“Yes, but it feels so good,” she mumbles and locks her ankles behind my back, her fingernails digging into my biceps.
“You take my cock so well, mate. It’s like your pussy was made for me, wasn’t it?” I nuzzle her neck, growling while dragging my fangs lightly across her sweat-slicked skin.
“Yes.” Her words come out garbled, like her tongue is too big for her mouth. I pull my head back and look at her face to find her eyes closed, her expression pained as her lips part to reveal two descending fangs.
“That’s it, babygirl. Claim your mate. You know what to do.
Your bear knows what to do.” I increase my pace, pulling her hips up and rubbing the head of my cock against her g-spot while pushing her face into the crook of my neck.
I pump my hips faster and harder, her fingers clawing at my back as she moans against my throat.
Soft, plump lips lick and suck my flesh until she’s scraping her teeth against my shoulder and chest, her instincts searching for a place to imbed her serum.
I roar the moment her fangs pierce my pec, my cock shooting cum deep inside my mate’s cunt as I shudder with my release.
Sinking my fangs into her shoulder, Kylian also cries out, her pussy clamping around my cock as she joins me in our shared orgasm.
My bear bellows his achievement and for the first time I hear her bear snarling, thrashing around and pounding her paws against the ground.
While my bear is proud of his achievement, Kylian’s bear doesn’t share his excitement and continues to hide herself.
Stubborn ass bear.
Kylian pulls her head back at the same time I retract my fangs but I don’t stop pumping my hips, another release building along my spine and racing to my balls.
My cock jerks as a second orgasm hits Kylian, which causes her fangs to descend again.
With a viper’s quickness, she bites my shoulder, setting off another orgasm for me and then another.
Fucking hell, I’ve never come so many times in a row in my life.
I wasn’t sure it was possible for males, although it’s common for females to have multiple orgasms when they are marked.
Thank Fates Cricket is outside watching my six because if James walked in right now I wouldn’t be able to stop hammering my cock into my mate.
We’re completely exposed, and this is as raw and as primal as I’ve ever been.
I have a feral need to fill my mate with as much cum as possible, stuffing her belly with dozens of my cubs.
The image of her swollen with my babies is heartbreakingly beautiful but it’s something I can never let happen.
Once we’re settled, I’ll make sure I can never get her pregnant.
I’m barely able to hold myself up as I stare down into her eyes, my cock jerking and her pussy clenching as we ride out the waves of ecstasy. We both pant for air but otherwise the earth is still as me and my bear gaze into the eyes of our mates. “I love you, Kylian.”
Shit. I have no idea where those words came from but it’s too soon to say them out loud, right?
For fuck’s sake, we’re mated, so what is too soon?
And while I know I mean every letter of those three simple words, just as I know my heart will turn to ash if I lose her, the last thing I want to do is freak her out.
It’s common for fated shifters to mate within hours of meeting but this wasn’t a typical fating.
We are not typical shifters.
Her lips part and her cheek flush a deeper red.
Fuck me. Yep, it’s too soon.
Closing my eyes, I roll to her side and pull her on top of me. “How do you feel? Did I hurt you?”
When she says nothing, I open my eyes to find tears streaming down her cheeks. “Babygirl, what’s wrong?”
“I marked you.” She reaches up and touches her lips. “I had fangs, and I bit you.”
“Yes, and I marked you.”
“Then where is my bear?” She presses her face into my chest and sobs. “How can I grow fangs and mark my mate and not have my bear?”
I wrap my arms around her and kiss her head, inhaling her scent that now has my serum embedded in it.
She’s mine, truly and completely and yet I can’t give her the thing she wants most, which is her stubborn ass bear.
“Shifters usually mark each other in their human forms. Having your fangs and shifting into your bear are two different things.”
“Really?” She sniffles and brings up her head. “So, there’s still a chance?”
My brow furrows. “What?”
“I assumed she’d come when you marked me or I marked you. And when she didn’t, I thought that meant she was never coming.”
I sit up, forcing Kylian to do the same while straddling my lap.
We’re naked, we’re sticky and James will never get my cum flowing out of my mate’s pussy out of his sheets.
But I need my mate to lock in to what I’m about to say because she is being a very bratty bear.
“Kylian, I understand you’ve been waiting a long time to meet your bear and now that she’s within reach, you’re feeling desperate but I need you to be patient for a bit longer.
I don’t know why your bear won’t come out.
Maybe it’s a childhood trauma you haven’t worked through, or maybe it’s a physiological thing you’re unaware of but I promise we will figure it out together.
Meanwhile, maybe you could enjoy all the previously out of reach things you have experienced today? ”
Her eyes grow wide and for a second I brace her to scream something like “how dare you” in my face.
I just spoke to my mate like she’s a petulant child who threw out all her other toys because she didn’t find what she wanted under the Christmas tree, but in my defense, she’s acting like said petulant child.
I can now envision the fight Kade had with her when Karter met his mate a few months ago and while I love and encourage playful banter, especially when it means I get to wrangle my brat and tease her body to multiple orgasms, this is different.
“You’re right. I’m so sorry.” Kylian places her hands on my face and presses a soft kiss to my lips. “I’m so very sorry, Erick.”
I wrap my arms around her and lean my forehead against hers. “It’s okay, babygirl. It’s been a fucking rollercoaster of a first date.”
She chuckles. “Sweet Fates. It is only our first date, isn’t it?”
“Yeah but it’s also the first day of the rest of our lives. Are you ready to start your life with me, mate?”
Nodding, she pulls back and flashes me a beautiful smile. “Yes.”
