13. Cherry #2
Chase smiles, then gives me a firm kiss before pulling back and laughing. “I knew it wouldn’t be gone for good!”
“Do you think I’ll be able to talk to the others?”
“Of course, you’re part of the pack bond again.”
“But what if those connections are severed?”
“Try talking to Maddox and Bain now,” Hunter suggests.
I tilt my head to look at him over my shoulder in confusion. “They’re too far away.”
“Not as far as you may think,” he says with a sheepish grin. “They’re keeping guard for us.”
I lift my head, gazing around the forest but don’t see any sign of them.
“They aren’t close enough to be seen,” Chase explains. “Just close enough to be able to see or smell any threats.”
“Why don’t you try talking to them, through the bond?” Hunter says again.
I lick my lips, feeling nervous. If they don’t hear me, what does that mean? Is our bond gone for good? Nerves fill me as I take a deep breath and speak through the bond. “Maddox? Bain?”
“Cherry?”
“Angel?” They both answer instantly. A huge smile splits my face as I laugh, tears of relief falling free.
“I can hear you,” I say as the twins hug me tightly between them.
“I’m so relieved to hear your voice again, sweetheart,” Maddox says, sounding just as he says, relieved.
“As am I,” Bain adds.
“We’ll talk more later, enjoy your time with Chase and Hunter,” Maddox says, ending our conversation.
I relax back between the twins, a smile on my lips as I close my eyes and just enjoy the moment. Inside, I feel Chase’s bond swirling in my chest, and when I search it, I feel his love and happiness, making me sigh.
Very slowly, his knot starts to deflate until he’s able to extract himself from me. I thought there would be some relief from the pressure, but instead, it leaves me feeling empty and needy. Luckily, I have another alpha waiting to seal our bond right behind me.
I press my ass back against him, wiggling it a little, and he groans, his lips finding my neck as he starts to suck on my skin. His hand slides up from my hip, brushing the side of my breast before he reaches around me and squeezes it firmly.
“Hunter,” I moan and he pinches my nipple, making me gasp. Chase cups my cheek and starts to kiss me, his tongue thrusting in as his lower hand finds my clit and rubs firm circles on it. I moan, my hands moving between them, unable to figure out what I want to touch.
Suddenly, I’m pulled onto my back as Hunter looms over me. He kneels between my legs, and as he stares down at my face, he uses his knees to slowly push my legs further apart. I grab his biceps as my breaths start to come in heavy and ragged.
Chase, who’s lying beside me, runs his hand between us, grabbing my breasts as he starts to tease me, working me up even more.
“Hunter,” I gasp. “I need you.”
He licks his lips, his eyes roaming down my face, neck, and chest as I do the same to him, my eyes falling on his cock.
Feeling desperate to touch him, I reach down and wrap my hand around him as best I can with my small hands and his large cock.
He instinctively jerks against my hand as I start to stroke him.
He stares down between my legs then rubs his fingers through me, and we both groan at the wetness.
He rubs my clit, driving me to move my hand faster, then he sinks two fingers into me, making me arch my back as I gasp.
Chase leans over, suddenly latching onto my breast, his tongue flicking my nipple as he devours me.
“I-I can’t!” I pant out, shaking my head.
“You can’t what?” Hunter growls as he pumps his fingers in and out of me, his intense brown eyes boring down on me.
“I can’t hold it back any longer. I’m going to come.”
Immediately, he pulls his fingers out, stopping my orgasm from cresting, making me whine. Then he pulls my hand from him and replaces it with his own, which is now drenched from my wetness.
Chase pulls back as Hunter leans down toward me, placing his free hand beside my head and kissing me, hard.
His cock finds its way into my folds, thrusting against my clit as his other hand lands on the other side of my head, caging me in.
My hands find their way to his shoulders, my nails digging in, and I nod frantically.
“Please, Hunter,” I beg and his eyes almost glow with heat as he lifts his head to watch my face. I open my mouth to beg again, but he pulls his hips back and notches himself at my entrance.
My chin tilts up as he starts to push in slowly. When no more than his tip is inside me, he suddenly thrusts forward, burying himself to the hilt.
I cry out, wrapping my arms and legs around him as he starts to pound into me.
Somehow, I didn’t think Hunter had this in him.
I thought he’d be all sweet and slow and gentle.
But I should have known better. He has multiple sides to him, and I’m sure he’ll make love like that with me sometime in the future, but this first time…
he’s just as desperate as I am to complete the bond.
“You’re so tight, baby girl. You feel so good clenching around my cock,” he grits out.
“Yes.” Apparently that’s all I’m capable of saying right now as he hammers into me. Chase’s hand has found its way between us, back to my breast, which only pushes me that much closer to my release.
As I stare into Hunter’s eyes, I want to tell him how much I love him, how good he’s making me feel, but I’m unable to speak. I’m suddenly reminded of a comment Bain made about Hunter enjoying praise, so I put my energy into speaking directly to him through the bond.
“Goddess, Hunter. You make me feel amazing.”
His face softens a little, and I know he’s heard me, so I continue as he thrusts into me over and over.
“You’re so hot like this. Watching you lose control as you bring me to my peak… It’s intoxicating.”
I watch as his eyes heat, his jaw clenches, and he starts to thrust harder, clearly liking what I’m saying.
“I love you so much, Hunter. You’re so good to me.”
He literally growls and his next thrust pushes me to lean up and sink my teeth into his peck, marking him as mine.
I start to come and have to quickly pull back, licking the wound before I drop my head back and scream out my release.
He watches me through it, his jaw clenching as he tries to hold himself back, but he doesn’t last, leaning down to bite my right breast, right above my nipple.
I feel his knot swell as his thrusts grow shorter, then I feel as he comes inside of me, pushing me into a second orgasm.
He groans as I cry out, the two of us coming together as our mate bond snaps in place. I gasp, his own pleasure and happiness causing my orgasm to continue. My entire body feels like a frayed wire as I start to come down from my high, my muscles twitching and spasming.
He licks his mate bond on my breast, making me shudder, then somehow rolls us until he’s lying on his back, with me on top of him, my head resting on his chest and his knot deep inside me.
A hand strokes my face, and I lazily blink my eyes open, finding Chase’s smiling face staring at me from where he’s lying beside us.
“How you feeling, pretty girl?”
“Tired. Good. Happy,” I say with a sigh.
He grins. “I feel that.” He moves his hand to lay over his heart. “In here.”
I search within myself, finding both their bonds, their feelings mimic mine, happy, content, relaxed.
I blink heavily and he strokes my head again. “Just relax,” Hunter says. “We aren’t going anywhere until my knot calms down, so you just close your eyes and take a nap. We’ll watch over you.”
“Thank you,” I whisper through the bond as I instantly start to drift off to sleep.
The last thought I have is of my other mates, and if I’ll ever be able to feel this bond with them again.
