Chapter 9
Chapter Nine
Felix could not believe how well this was going. He hadn’t expected such eager compliance from his mate—not with regard to his expectations from her nor her total abandon when it came to sex.
Their combined pheromones were strong in the air, and he hadn’t been able to imagine a world in which they would be ruled by their drive to mate over and over again. It didn’t matter what everyone had told him or how they’d warned him. He couldn’t fully grasp what they’d told him until he experienced it himself.
Staring at his precious mate on her hands and knees, crawling toward him like the wolf she would soon become made his cock harder than ever even though he’d just come—in her mouth.
He licked his lips as her breasts swayed, and his breath hitched when she rose onto her knees. They’d been in a lustful frenzy from the moment he first took off her clothes, a frenzy that resumed immediately after her short nap. This was the first chance he had to really stare at her entire body and soak her in.
She was perfection. Every inch of her. He knew Fate would make him see her that way no matter what. She could have four eyes and three legs, and he would think she was gorgeous, but somehow he knew she was pretty anyway.
Her long brown hair had golden highlights in every shade. It hung in waves. The front of it was clipped on top of her head with a gold barrette. It was messy from all their activity, but that only made it sexier.
Khloe’s deep brown eyes were wide and curious. Her skin was naturally tan. It had never been exposed to sunlight, so every inch of her was the same shade.
Her breasts were high with rosy tips that had been hard ever since he’d revealed them. They were the perfect handful. They were also the perfect mouthful.
Felix lowered his gaze farther to her pussy. Soft brown curls glistened from her arousal and his come. The insides of her thighs were wet from their combined lust, too.
He couldn’t believe she was his. He couldn’t believe she had so willingly accepted her life so far. He couldn’t believe he would get to spend the rest of his life worshipping her body.
Her chest rose and fell with every breath. She would be growing warmer in preparation for her first shift. She would also be hornier as the clock ticked. That explained the intense scent filling the room and the question she’s just posed. “What’s next?” She was eager.
A few feet separated them. He wanted to make her writhe again, but he didn’t think it would be prudent to touch her so soon. Her body would heal quickly between every coupling, but she needed some recovery time.
“Lift your arms, Baby girl. Clasp your hands behind your head.”
She hesitated only a moment before obeying him. Her heart rate increased at the same time.
“Pull your shoulders and elbows back, Little one. Arch your chest forward.”
She shuddered as she followed his instructions, her lips parting as she panted.
“Such a good girl. Spread your knees wider, Khloe.”
She was the sexiest creature on Earth. It was killing him to keep his hands to himself, but he would.
It was obvious by her breathing and the way her pussy creamed for him every time he praised her that she liked the way he spoke, so he would do so often. “Good girl.” He inched slightly closer, teasing her even though he had no intention of touching her. “It feels good to obey me, doesn’t it, Little one?”
She nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
“Do you feel warm, Baby girl?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“That’s normal. I’ll take your temperature again in a few minutes.”
She shuddered.
“You like that idea, don’t you, Little one? You like it when Daddy parts your cheeks and exposes your tight little bottom hole, don’t you?”
She nodded slowly. “Yes, Sir,” she whispered. Her embarrassment was precious, and it made her hornier. She couldn’t hide it because every time she creamed for him, her scent filled the room.
“Do your nipples need attention, Little mate?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Slide your hands down and cup your breasts for me, Khloe.”
Her eyes widened for a moment before she lowered her shaking fingers to her tits and cupped them.
“Good girl. Thumb your nipples. Show me what feels good.”
She whimpered as she stroked her thumbs over her tight buds.
“How does that feel, Baby girl?”
“So good…”
“Pinch them.”
She gripped the little tips between her thumbs and forefingers.
“Harder, Khloe. Pinch them until it hurts and then twist them. Pull on them hard enough that you feel the ache in your pussy.”
She moaned as she obeyed him.
The demands he was placing on her were doing nothing to assuage his own need. He was going to come from watching her. In fact, he gave up the fight and wrapped his palm around his cock, stroking it up and down with a loose grip. “Lower one hand to your pussy, Little one. I want you to find that precious nub where pleasure comes from and stroke it.”
Khloe swayed forward a bit as she slid her hand down between her legs. “Daddy…”
“Do as you’re told, Baby girl. Play with your clit.”
He knew the moment she made contact with the greedy nub because her eyes rolled back and her lips parted.
“Such a good girl. You will never touch yourself like this without permission, understood?”
She whimpered.
“Look at me, Khloe. Look Daddy in the eyes.”
She drew in a shaky breath and lowered her gaze.
“If I catch you masturbating without permission, your punishment will be severe and unpleasant. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“I won’t touch my naughty pussy without permission, Daddy,” he instructed.
She licked her pretty lips and whispered, “I won’t touch my naughty pussy without permission, Daddy.”
“Good girl.” He stroked his cock again. “Now, make yourself come, Little one. Do whatever feels good to reach your peak while I watch.”
Her breath hitched. Her lips trembled as she asked, “Will you do it for me, Daddy?”
“Not this time, Little one. Do as you’re told and don’t question Daddy.”
The sound that came from her mouth was like a mewl. Maybe it was the sort of sound her wolf would make. He would know soon. She did obey him, though. She squeezed her breast tight with one hand while her fingers moved rapidly between her legs.
She was so gorgeous. Her eyes glazed over, and she shivered as she touched herself. He wanted this for her. He wanted her to find out how it felt to touch herself. There would be millions of times he would insist on her keeping her hands to herself while he fondled her, but sometimes, he would want her to find her own release while he watched.
Her panting increased, telling him she was growing close. He was also close. He needed to watch her and make sure she didn’t topple over when she came. She was unsteady on her knees. It had to be a challenge to hold herself upright like this while she masturbated.
When she gasped and stiffened, he knew she was there. He grabbed her shoulder with one hand as the waves of her release made her body shake violently. With his other hand, he joined her, allowing himself to reach his own peak. He stood close enough to her that his release shot onto her tummy and ran down her thighs. Fuck, it was heady.
For long seconds, they stared at each other, breathing heavily, smiling broadly, and soaking up the euphoria.
“Nobody told me,” she murmured.
“No one in the valley could have, Baby girl. They don’t know how strong the bond is between an Alpha Protector and his mate. No one in the valley experiences a connection this strong.”
“That’s kind of sad.”
He chuckled. “It is, but they don’t know. Ignorance is bliss. They couldn’t grasp it even if you tried to explain it, so there is no harm. Hell, even among the other Alphas, I couldn’t understand until it happened to me. I’m forty-five years old, and I’ve been around mated couples all my life. I never comprehended what would happen to me.”
“So my sister has a bond like this?”
“Yes.”
“Will you tell me how you found out I would be your mate?”
“The Alpha Protectors are kind of careful about revealing too much information about who we are mated to simply because the twenty-year wait is hard enough without adding too many details. Sometimes an Alpha knows a few details. My friend Arion watched his mate from afar most of her life. He liked to keep tabs on her when she was on the playground at school. Not all of us can do that without losing our minds. I did not know that much about you, but I knew when you were born and when I would claim you.”
Khloe smiled as she reached out a hand and stroked her fingertips over the scars on his chest.
“Ironically, I found out specifically who you were the day I got those claw marks.”
Khloe gasped and jerked her gaze up to his. “What happened?”
“We’ve had some issues with rogue bears for a few years. There was a battle that day nearly a year ago, a few weeks after your sister arrived. After I was injured, my friends were harassing me about what my mate would think of my scars. I joked that I would surely be fully healed in a year. Leah overheard and gasped. She realized the mate in question would be you. Though it’s not customary for Alphas to discuss their future mates with anyone, let alone another Alpha’s new mate, the flood gates opened, and I’m not ashamed to admit I have grilled Leah many times over the past year so I would be more prepared for you.”
A slow smile spread across her face. “That’s why you got me a piano.”
“Yes, Baby girl. And I can’t wait to hear you play.”
Her cheeks turned pink. “I always worried my mate might not indulge my musical interests.”
Felix set his hands on her hips and pulled her closer so their bodies touched, his come smearing on his stomach. “I will have many rules, Little one. Some of them you will not like, but they are for your safety and my sanity. Other than that, you are free to spend as much time as you want with your music. I look forward to our home filling with your talented singing and playing.”
She stared at him, grinning wider.
He kissed her nose. “Let’s get in the bath. I’ve covered you in my essence. After we clean up, I’ll take your temperature again, and you can take another bottle.”
She leaned her entire body against him, pressing her breasts against his chest. “My mother said I would eventually fall in love with you. I think I already have.”
No sweeter words had ever been spoken.
Felix kissed his pretty mate and then leaned his forehead against hers. “I’m head over heels in love with you already, too, Little one.”
