Chapter Nine
It was still dark when she woke. At first, she mistook the powerful ache in her belly as the need to relieve herself. She soon realized it was not that.
Thanred’s cock was stiff again. The hard flesh grazed against her back as he slept.
Royla turned to face him. He looked so different than when she’d first laid eyes on him. Powerful still but so handsome. Her mind wandered to everything that had happened in the last few days. Lust pulsed through her as she raked her eyes up and down his hard body.
A ripple of excitement wormed through her as she reached out. She grazed the hard flesh of his cock with the tips of her fingers. It sent jolts of heat crackling through her, hardening under her touch.
Thanred took a deep breath and stirred.
Royla’s chest swelled with excitement. The ache had swollen in her core to something almost unbearable. Her hunger for him eclipsed all other thoughts. Shuffling closer, she wrapped her fingers around his girth and stroked.
Thanred growled as his eyes fluttered open.
Royla continued to caress him, pressing her other hand against his bare chest. Her body was thrumming with arousal. As he turned to look at her, she let go of his member, got up onto her hands and knees and turned her backside toward him, swaying it from side to side.
He growled again as one side of his lips curled into a hungry snarl. Rising off the forest floor, he grasped her bottom with both hands and knelt behind her. Lifting a palm, he brought it down onto her backside in a sharp slap.
Royla gasped but not from the pain. The swat, while somewhat painful, deepened her excitement. She craned her neck to look back at him.
His mighty member, the engorged head throbbing in anticipation of his claim, swayed just above her backside. His eyes fell.
Royla blushed, knowing that once again he could see all of her softest, most intimate parts.
She raised her eyes to look into his. “Will you have me, Master?” she whispered.
And though she knew he wanted her to call him by his name, the word master felt so much more seductive. So much more... exciting.
He pressed two fingers against her dripping pussy.
Her back arched, head tilting back at the throb of pleasure his touch elicited.
Pressing harder, he drove them into her, the digits stretching her soft walls.
Royla moaned, her voice carrying through the forest like an animal’s cry.
The idea that she was on her knees, naked and about to be taken by this beast sharpened her arousal.
When he twisted his hand, his fingers prying her open wider, she bucked back against him, desperate to feel him inside her as deeply as she could.
Pulling his fingers out of her caused her to whimper. She pressed her hands against the forest floor, pushing her backside toward him, hoping he would re-enter, this time with his hard cock.
He slapped her lightly on the ass. His fingers trailed up her tender flesh until they were pressed against her bottom hole.
Royla gasped as renewed excitement gripped her. Her eyes went wide as he began pressing and twisting, easing the two fingers into her backside. The pressure against her forbidden hole pushed her toward release. She tried to force herself back onto him again.
Another smack met her bottom as she did. “Still,” he growled.
Her mouth fell open as the digits invaded her. She squirmed as they plunged deeper, filling her back hole completely. Her insides were so stretched, so full but she only wanted more. When the head of his cock pressed against her pussy, she moaned.
“You are in your breeding heat, I think,” he rumbled. “I can smell it.”
The thought caused her to whimper. If he was right, if there was such a thing, what did it mean? Would he spill his seed inside her? Would it quicken? Would her belly swell? That idea only sent another pulse of excitement rushing through her.
She was even hungrier for him now. Her body seemed to take over, hot liquid flooding through her pussy, dripping off her lips as she readied to take him.
He was breathing heavily, staring down at her, his fingers still buried inside her bottom. His hips jutted forward, forcing his cock head into her entrance.
“Yes!” Royla moaned, her fingers clawing at the dirt beneath them. “Please!” she begged. “Take me, Master. Put your seed inside me!”
Out of the corner of her eye she saw the way he reacted to her plea. His chest swelled. His eyes bulged. His cock flexed, and he seemed to relinquish control of himself to some other force, the same force that caused her to open for him.
He gripped her buttocks more firmly. Cocking his hips, he thrust them forward, plunging his hard cock into her tight channel.
She felt dizzy. She closed her eyes to try to stop the world spinning.
All her thoughts seemed to center on her core: on the way he felt inside her, on the way his cock throbbed each time it plunged into her.
Her pussy clamped around it, squeezing it as if it were trying to draw out the essence from him.
Each thrust was stronger than the last. His member plied her soft folds, stretching the hot, wet walls as he searched for his pleasure.
A glance back revealed the snarl was more severe. His eyes were fixed on her soft flesh, watching his cock disappear inside her body. He twisted his fingers inside her bottom, making her moan again.
Royla began to tremble. All the hunger and heat she’d woken up to seemed to concentrate on her core. It was as if there were nothing else to her but her willing womb, hot and fertile and ready to accept his gift.
Her mouth fell open. “Oh, please, Thanred, fill me! Fill me with your seed!” she begged.
Behind her Thanred threw his head back and roared. The whole forest seemed to bristle from the sound. His body was thundering against her softness, driving his delivering muscle deeper and deeper, searching for the softest and most fertile place to spill his seed.
Royla shuddered as he hardened inside her, knowing the moment was close. Her pussy was squeezing him with each thrust, sucking on his cock and trying to draw out his seed. “Ah... ah... ah...” she breathed as she felt the wave coming again.
“I’m going to fuck your cunt full of seed, my pet,” he growled.
His voice was so deliciously low and threatening. And yet she knew she had nothing to fear. Her lips twisted in a silent, agonized moan as an orgasm crashed through her.
Thanred roared again.
As each wave of pleasure washed over another, a far deeper sensation churned beneath the surface.
Through the ecstasy her mind spun around this center, that Thanred’s essence was entering her; that his hard cock was delivering it to her softest, deepest place.
That her core might be ripe and fertile enough that his offering would quicken inside her and make her belly swell with his offspring.
She moaned and quivered as she played those lines over and over in her head.
Thanred’s bucking did not cease quickly. He continued to sheathe himself inside her, filling her soft pussy and pressing his essence into her. When his cock finally began to soften, he kept his firm grip on her bottom as he eased it out of her walls.
Royla lowered herself, pressing her cheek against the ground. But she kept her bottom high in the air. So that Thanred might gain some pleasure from looking at it, staring at the pussy he’d just defiled and filled.
It surprised her when he lay down next to her and pulled her close to him. His dark, probing stare was no longer a reason to be scared. It was a reason to feel safe.
“The answer is ‘yes,’” he said.
Royla frowned, puzzled by what he meant.
“A Dranark and human can mate.”
Tears came to her eyes, her chest tightening at the revelation.
She couldn’t name the feeling it inspired but she liked it.
It felt good. If it were true and if his seed quickened inside her they would be.
.. bonded. Together in a way she had not known with any other human.
This idea warmed her, as did his arm around her back.
She wished they could stay like that forever.
Thanred let her lie there for some time. She nearly fell asleep. His finger touching her softly on the cheek stirred her awake. “What is it?” she asked.
“We should move.”
She looked up toward the sky to see that, by the sun, it was nearly midmorning. “Where will we go?” she asked, feeling lazy and not wanting to get up.
Thanred lifted himself up and shook his head. “Deeper into the forest. Maybe toward the mountain. Somewhere... far away from your kind and mine.”
This caused her stomach to sink. Her feelings for Thanred were growing deeper daily. She wanted nothing more than to be by his side. But how long did he mean to run?
As he began to stand, she grabbed his hand. “Thanred?” she asked.
His expression softened at hearing her say his name. “What is it?”
Royla paused, wondering whether her question would upset him. But the more she thought about it, the more she realized she could not go on without an answer. “Are we to be alone then?” she asked softly. “Forever?”
Thanred’s expression darkened. His brow furrowed as he turned to look away from her. A long silence stretched between them before he spoke. “I am not enough for you then?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
The knot inside her stomach eased. She tilted her head and reached out to him. It was the first time she’d seen him this way. Not weak. But... vulnerable. She rose up onto her knees and put her hands on his cheeks, turning his head to make him look at her.
When their eyes met, his worried look faded, replaced by something Royla had never before seen.
“I love you, Thanred.” The words spilled from her before she could stop them.
The admission caused her throat to tighten.
A moment before tears spilled from her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed him tight to her body.
A wave of relief swept through her as he did the same.
“You are Master,” she said, her voice shaky with tears. “You always will be.”
“I... love you, Royla,” Thanred echoed.
The words caused a delicious heat to churn inside her body. She wished she could take back her question. As strange as it was, she now wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with this dominating, loving beast. “I’m sorry,” she whimpered, sniffling. “I didn’t mean...”
Thanred interrupted her by pulling away and pressing his lips to hers. They shared a long kiss. When it was over, the world seemed upside down but the way it was supposed to be. “We will find a way to be happy,” Thanred whispered.
In that moment Royla didn’t need anything else.
Her doubts and worries melted with his warm embrace.
Wherever they ended up, no matter how far it was from the life she’d known thus far, she swore she would be happy.
She swore she would never forget this feeling and would love him the way she loved him right then.
