Chapter 21
Chapter Twenty-One
“What did Damon say?” Khloe asked Felix two hours later as Felix ended his call.
He’d gotten his Little girl home, given her a bath, and fed her dinner. He’d made the necessary calls, and now he just wanted to hold his mate in his arms and relax.
She was in her playpen, but he knew she’d been doing nothing but watching him pace the room while he spoke on the phone.
Felix reached in and picked her up. “He spoke to Surge. Apparently Drow and Firat met with several other bears after they left us in a huff earlier today. They tried to stir up shit and challenged others to come see you for themselves.”
“How did they find me?”
“The bear shifters have more advanced abilities than we do, Little one.” He carried her to the couch and sat with her straddling him, keeping his hands on her back. The last thing he needed tonight would be for her to fall over backward and hit her head. “We don’t fully understand their capabilities, but I’m not surprised they can track us down.”
His precious mate sat taller, holding her head high. “Well, I can track them down, too, so they won’t be able to sneak up on us.”
He smiled. “Apparently not. Plus you scared the piss out of them. Those two were cocky. They didn’t realize you could sense them ahead of time. They thought they could mask themselves. They were wrong. I think it will be a while before more bears come out in search of you, but we won’t let our guard down.”
She shrugged. He’d never seen her this brave. She had changed even since this morning. In fact, she looked into his eyes now and said, “I do a better job of controlling my visions when I’m shifted.”
“I noticed that.”
“I don’t black out or faint or whatever. The vision is faster and sharper and easier to understand in wolf form.”
“And it would seem you had an inkling a vision was coming. That’s why you shoved back and shifted so fast.”
She nodded. “Yes. Were you mad?”
“No, Baby girl. I will never get mad at you for managing the visions any way you need to. I recognize it’s safer for you to shift when you feel one coming on. You don’t need to explain yourself to me. Do what you need to do and fill me in as soon as it’s safe to do so.”
She threw her arms around him and hugged him tight. “Thank you, Daddy. You’re the bestest Daddy in the world.” She leaned back and grinned at him. “Guess what else I can do when I’m shifted?”
His brows came together. “Goodness, there’s more?”
She giggled. “I can pee in the woods. You don’t have to hold me up. It’s almost like having some privacy to do my business.”
He laughed. “Perfect, but don’t start asking me if you can shift and go outside every time you want to pee. The answer will be no.”
She sighed and bit her lip. She needed to tell him one more thing. “Also…”
He rolled his eyes. “Heavens. What else?”
“I’m fast.”
He frowned. “Fast?”
“Yeah, like really fast. I can run faster than you, and I had an adrenaline rush when those bears arrived and lurched forward with incredible speed.”
He smiled at her. “I noticed that last part. How do you know you can run faster?”
“I was holding back,” she admitted.
He chuckled before leaning her back farther. “You are so full of surprises. Just so we’re clear, my rules only ease when you have a vision, understood?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Your wolf is extremely dominant. It’s going to be an adjustment for Alpha Protectors to trust your judgement and allow you to step in when necessary. I do not ever want you in harm’s way, though. You were pushing the limit out there this evening. You got lucky when those bears backed down and ran off, but I will not have you entering a skirmish.” He gave her a pointed look.
“Okay, Daddy, but just in case, I think it would be helpful if you trained me on how to defend myself.”
“I agree, Little one. I think it’s high time we held some defense classes for all of our mates. Olivia could definitely use some advanced skills, but the others would benefit as well. I’ll be talking to Damon, Arion, Brock, and Elias first thing tomorrow about ensuring all our mates are prepared for an attack of any sort.”
Khloe beamed. “Thank you, Daddy.”
He gave her a pointed look. “At all other times, you will submit to me. No exceptions. I’m not an unreasonable Alpha. I grasp the importance of your gift. But when you’re not actively engaged in keeping track of everyone in the vicinity, you will obey my rules.”
She nodded without hesitation. “Maybe I could stand up and resume walking, though, now that we know I can shift if it’s ever necessary.”
He wasn’t ready to take that risk yet. “Not yet, Baby girl. Let’s see what happens in the coming days first. I’d like to prove that theory several more times before I consent to such a specific safety hazard. For now, you will stay on your bottom or hands and knees. Besides…” He tickled her to lighten the mood, “…If you happened to be standing in a spot with tight quarters, your wolf wouldn’t even fit.”
She giggled. “Daddy, that’s silly.”
“Is it?” He lifted a brow, smiling but also serious. “Do you think you could fit in the bathroom?”
She sighed. “Probably not.”
“Then my rule stands for now.”
“Okay.” Her shoulders lowered, and she gripped his neck. He could tell she wanted to say something else, but she hesitated before finally speaking. “Maybe you could enforce a few of your rules right now?” She set the back of her hand across her forehead in an odd dramatic swoon.
Felix stared at her, uncertain what her game was.
Khloe rolled her eyes. “Daddy, take me to bed, strip me naked, and have your way with me. I need you.”
He tipped his head back and laughed before rising with her in his arms. Cupping her bottom, he carried her toward the bedroom. “So bossy…”
“Only when I need you inside me.”
He dropped her onto the bed, pulled her dress and diaper off, lined up their palms, and set his mark against his mate’s.
That was all it took to get his Little girl to submit. She arched her pretty chest and moaned, digging her heels into the mattress as she let her legs fall open.
A lot had happened today, but the two of them had still only been mated three weeks. They deserved a longer honeymoon period than they’d gotten before today’s wild interruption. They hadn’t gone an entire day without having sex several times until today. Felix needed to be inside her as badly as she craved.
“Daddy…” she whined.
He released her to remove his clothes, watching her pant as she stared at him. He loved that she was no longer as shy about her body as she had been three weeks ago. She kept her legs open wide and her arms beside her head.
Heavens, she was gorgeous. Every inch of her. Even her wolf was spectacular. But her human… Her breasts were high and full, swollen with need, the pink tips hard. Her pussy glistened with arousal, her clit so greedy it was exposed, pushing the hood back on its own.
Felix finally climbed up between her legs, but he didn’t touch her yet. He simply stared down at his precious mate, soaking her in, wanting to remember this moment for the rest of his life.
Things had definitely changed today, but he was confident everything would work out for the best. His Little girl was trembling below him, her greedy body filling the room with the scent of her pheromones.
“Submit, Baby girl,” he ordered.
She swallowed. “Yes, Sir.”
He threaded their fingers together and pressed his mark against hers again, loving the way her eyes rolled back and her breathing came in shallow pants. He didn’t even need to touch her pussy or her nipples for her to orgasm, not with the power of their marks and the depth of her submission.
“I can smell your need,” he told her.
She dug her heels in and lifted her pussy toward him, but he didn’t let her make contact yet. He let her writhe, let the need grow and build, waited until she was close to combusting before he dropped his hips between her thighs and thrust into her tight pussy.
Felix howled, but the sound was nothing compared to the howl his mate made at the same time. She came instantly, her pussy clenching around his cock rhythmically. It was the best sensation in the world.
He held steady inside her, forcing his own release to remain at bay. He intended to make his mate come several more times before he reached his peak. He was the Dominant here, and he intended to bring his pretty mate to heel before he came.
Dropping his forehead against hers, he let his breath mingle with his mate’s as she tried to come back from her orgasm.
“Daddy…” she begged, squirming and bucking below him.
“You’ll do as you’re told, Little one. You take Daddy’s cock when and how I offer it.”
She nodded, but her head rolled back and forth. She was a slave to her lust, just the way he liked it. “Please…”
“That’s my good girl.” He eased partway out and thrust back in.
Khloe cried out as her pussy pulsed around his cock yet again. She needed this release. She needed several more after the day she’d had, and the best way to give her what she craved was to dominate her hard.
She couldn’t catch her breath after the second orgasm. It looked like she was barely focusing. She whimpered and moaned, but she didn’t fight him.
“That’s my good girl. Can you give me another one, Baby girl?”
She shook her naughty head. “Too much…”
“I don’t think so, Little one. We’re just getting started.” He pressed his forearm against her mark and thrust two more times, watching her as she lost control again and screamed through another release.
Felix let his cock jerk inside her, forcing it deeper as she came down from her high.
Khloe wiggled in every direction.
“Who’s in charge, Baby girl?”
“You are, Daddy,” she whispered.
“Good girl. Do you have any idea how much I love you?”
She nodded, breathing heavily. “Yes, because I love you even more.”
He chuckled. “I’m going to suckle your pretty nipples until you come again without moving my cock, and then I’ll fuck you harder and fill you with my seed.”
She shuddered. “Please, Daddy.”
Felix dropped his mouth to one of her nipples and teased the tip over and over with his tongue before he finally sucked the swollen bud into his mouth. He sensed when she was close and released the naughty tip.
Khloe writhed again, moaning beneath him.
He switched to the other nipple, but it only took a few licks for her to come around his cock a fourth time. While she was pulsing, he pulled almost out and thrust back in deeper. He did it again and again, losing control of himself as his need grew until he couldn’t possibly stop himself from coming. “Come with me, Khloe, now,” he ordered.
His precious mate did exactly as he commanded, her pussy gripping his cock harder than ever as he emptied his seed into her body.
They had a lot to figure out in the coming months, but none of that mattered. What mattered was that they were together. Nothing would break them apart. He would bend to the needs of his mate’s wolf, and she would bend to his needs when she was in her human form.
They would grow and learn together. It was the way of Alpha Protectors and their mates. It had always been this way, and it would continue until the end of time.
