Chapter 9 Mika
MIKA
By the time we get back home, Shadow is half-carrying my trembling body inside. I’m cold and clammy all over, but still sweaty enough for dirt to stick to my skin. I’m itchy, sore, and covered in filth.
“Let’s get you in a shower, okay?” Shadow whispers, guiding me through the house and into the bathroom. “Jesus, I’m so sorry I let this happen.” He sounds disappointed and frustrated with himself.
I bring my hands up to either side of his face, cupping his cheeks and forcing him to make eye contact with me. “This isn’t your fault,” I tell him with a scratchy voice. “I stepped outside for some fresh air, and I guess Grant and Heath were staking out the place. If I had stayed inside–”
“No way are you taking on any blame or guilt in this situation,” he tells me, a stern edge to his voice.
“Life has been so unkind and unfair to you, baby girl.” Shadow turns his head, kissing the palm of my hand.
I drop them to his chest, leaning into everything this man is offering.
“From this day forward, you’ll know only happiness and love. ”
If I had any tears left, I’d cry at his sweet words.
“Come on,” he whispers. “You’ll feel better after a shower.”
“Only if you join me,” I blurt out. “I don’t want to be away from you,” I admit, feeling pathetic.
“I’ll never leave your side again,” he vows.
“I… I want to be connected with you again. I want to feel loved.”
Shadow’s blue eyes soften, and for the first time, I see how exhausted and anxious he is. “You are loved, Mika. I will remind you in every single way how precious and wanted you are.”
“I love you, Shadow. I love how fiercely you protect me and how loyal you are to your MC. I love that you have this gritty outer shell with a soft spot for me. And special editions of Lord of the Rings.” I grin at him, and Shadow returns it. I swear I see tears in his eyes.
“I love you so damn much, Mika. My beautiful, sweet girl.” Shadow rubs his nose against mine again, giving my lips the barest hint of a kiss before turning on the shower.
When it’s hot enough, Shadow slowly undresses me, like I’m a rare treasure. He helps me into the shower once we're both naked and positions me in the middle of the stream.
I close my eyes and let the hot water trickle over my skin. I can't help the sigh that escapes my lips. “That feels nice.”
“I think we can do better than nice,” Shadow murmurs. I open my eyes and see him standing right in front of me, his normally blue eyes a stormy gray.
His fingertips follow the streams of water as they pour over my shoulders, breasts, torso, hips, and finally my throbbing pussy. I moan as his knuckles barely graze my mound before continuing down my inner thighs.
“How do you want me, Mika? Slow and gentle? Passionate and claiming? I’ll be whatever you need right now.”
I nibble on my bottom lip, considering his question. Both options have me rubbing my thighs together in anticipation. “Claim me, Shadow. Remind me who I belong to.”
Shadow wraps his free hand around the back of my neck, pulling me in for a punishing kiss.
I open up for him, needing to taste and touch and feel him everywhere.
He tugs my hair, pulling my head back so he can deepen the kiss.
Two fingers dip into my slit and start circling my little bundle of nerves in slow, steady strokes.
I grip his biceps, digging my nails in as one finger pushes into my entrance, then two. Shadow thrusts his large digits in and out of me, slowly at first, and then faster, faster, faster, grinding his heel down on my clit all while devouring my lips.
Breaking the kiss, I bury my face between his neck and shoulders as I cry out. I’m right there, so close to my much-needed release. He keeps pumping his fingers, twisting and curling them up to rub against my G-spot. Again, again, one more time…
Suddenly, his hand is gone. I nearly fall over at the loss of him, but I regain my composure and glare right at his stupidly handsome face. Shadow just grins, which makes my pussy clench.
“Not yet, baby girl. Patience.”
With that, he spins me around, my back to his front, and starts massaging me everywhere. His large, calloused hands squeeze my breasts, hips, and soft, round belly that I’ve always been a little self-conscious of. Shadow has made it clear that he loves every inch of me.
His hands trail lower, once again teasing my pussy lips. My clit throbs in time with my heartbeat, begging him to do something about the unbearable ache he’s created.
“Shadow…” I moan, wiggling my hips in an attempt to get him to touch me where I need him most.
“Not yet,” he murmurs again, licking the shell of my ear before trailing kisses down my neck and shoulder.
His hard cock digs into my ass, so I wiggle a bit more until his length nestles between my cheeks. Shadow groans and rotates his hips, grinding his thick shaft against my ass.
“God, please, Shadow,” I beg. My legs start shaking, and I have to lean forward and brace myself against the wall.
A low growl rises up from deep in Shadow’s chest, the sound vibrating through me, nearly making me come on the spot. He grips my left leg just under my knee and lifts it so my foot is resting on a bench in the corner of the shower I didn’t notice earlier.
“That’s it, fuck, love when you’re spread out for me, baby girl.” He continues touching every inch of me, caressing my thighs and widening my stance a bit.
“I love it, too,” I rasp, nearly choking on my desire.
Shadow gives me a satisfied grunt, which makes me giggle. My laughter is cut off when his cock slides up and down my slit. He taps my clit, nearly sending me over the edge. I’m so damn sensitive and ready to come, I think I might die if he doesn’t get inside of me this second.
“I’ve got you, Mika,” he murmurs, lining himself up with my entrance.
I’m expecting him to thrust inside of me and fuck me hard.
I know he’s as desperate for me as I am for him.
But Shadow slowly inches inside of me, prolonging the sweet pain deep in my core.
He grips my hips, holding me in place as he stretches me open.
I hold my breath as he slides home, hitting the very end of me.
“Fucking Christ,” he whispers. “I’ve missed you so damn much.” Even though we saw each other this morning, I get what he means. I’ve missed him, too.
Shadow pulls out, just as slowly, making me whine. I open my mouth to tell him to fuck me already, but then Shadow slams his thick dick all the way inside, making me come instantly.
He wraps his arms around me, holding me up as I spasm around his cock.
He fucks me through it, hammering into me over and over, as I continue to convulse and cry out his name.
I feel Shadow grip my inner thigh of my leg that’s propped up, spreading me wider and angling my hips so he’s hitting my G-spot with every thrust.
“Y-y-yesss…” I manage to hiss out as I pound my fist against the wall and throw my head back against his shoulder. Shadow wraps his hand around my throat, keeping my head tilted back as he splits me open with his dick.
“So fucking tight for me, love,” he grits out.
I whimper in response, already feeling another orgasm rushing to the surface. He must sense it, too. Shadow keeps a firm grip on my neck, which is hot as fuck, and then trails his other hand down my body, circling my clit and then pinching it.
My orgasm slams into me, hard and fast, ripping a scream from my lips. Shadow growls and ruts into me, rubbing furious circles over my swollen, pulsing clit. A painful, delicious pleasure takes over every part of my body as I come again for him, sobbing his name.
Shadow pulls out and spins me around, crashing his lips down on mine as he lifts me up and spears me with his cock. I wrap my legs around his hips and hang on for dear life as he pins me to the wall and fucks me like a man possessed.
“Mine, mine, fucking mine. Say it, Mika. Tell me, baby girl.”
“Y-yours,” I whisper, my voice scratchy from screaming his name.
“Louder,” he growls.
“I’m yours!” I cry out, writhing in his arms.
Shadow roars and bites my shoulder as he comes, marking me, claiming me, fucking me raw. I gasp and open my mouth in a silent scream, my entire body pulsing, tensing, stretching… and then collapsing in on itself as my orgasm ravishes me from the inside out.
I swear I feel Shadow come again, shooting his cum deep inside of me in forceful bursts.
I drag air into my lungs in short breaths, trembling in Shadow’s arms as he keeps me pinned to the wall. I comb my fingers through his hair while he nuzzles into my shoulder, kissing over the spot where he bit me.
“Are you okay?” he asks, his voice as shaky as I feel. “I bit you.”
“You claimed me,” I tell him with a satisfied smile.
Shadow looks up at me, his eyes going dark as a deep growl rumbles through him. I think he might fuck me again, but then his eyes turn soft, and he kisses my forehead.
“Let’s get you washed up so you can rest. Then I’ll do it all over again.”
My pussy clenches around his half-hard cock, making Shadow groan. “Or we could do it again right now…”
Shadow sucks in a breath and lets it out slowly, resting his forehead on mine. “Do you trust me?”
I nod automatically. Of course, I trust him. The man keeps showing up and getting me out of my messes and proving to me that I can have a happily ever after, too.
“Then let me take care of you.”
I nod again as he gently sets me down and begins washing me.
Shadow's touch is achingly tender, like I'm precious to him and he wants to savor every moment of being with me like this.
I can't stop the tears stinging my eyes.
Shadow doesn't say anything; he just kisses them away and continues washing my body before moving on to my hair.
My gentle giant of a biker dries me off with a fluffy towel and carries me to his bed. Shadow crawls in behind me, spooning his large body around mine. Even though it’s only mid-afternoon, we’re both so exhausted that we fall asleep almost instantly.
