Chapter 11
AARON
11
As soon as the last breath left the hyena who’d come hunting for my mate, I shifted back to my human form and yelled, “Last one down!”
Then I whirled around to see Cressida wide-eyed and covered in dirt but never looking any more beautiful.
My mate was alive.
We’d defeated our enemies.
There was nothing left to do but claim her again and again.
Pulling her close, I crushed my lips to hers, the air whooshing from her lungs as she sighed into my mouth.
“You’re safe. You’re alive,” I murmured, trailing kisses down her neck.
“I am,” she whispered, her hands clutching my shoulders.
My rejection hardened my heart, but that didn’t stop me from falling hard and fast for Cressida. The words that I should’ve already given her spilled from my lips. “I love you so fucking much, Cressida.”
“I love you, too.” She sniffled, beaming a watery smile at me.
“You’d better because you’re mine, and I’m never letting you go,” I growled, pulling her lips back to mine and pouring everything I could into her mouth.
She gasped for air as her fingers raked through my hair. She had to be on her tippy-toes to reach that high, and I wasn’t about to let her strain anymore.
Pulling her close, I grasped her ass, pulling her beautiful body up toward mine as she wrapped her legs around my waist. If my cock wasn’t already hard, that would’ve done it. Now, it throbbed, wanting more of her.
Growling, I pushed forward, pressing her back against the nearest tree as I ripped off her top and bra. She gasped as I pulled one perfect breast in my mouth, sucking hard on her nipple.
“Aaron, we can’t just do this against a tree.”
“Why not?” I asked with a laugh, looking up to see her eyes still wide, her lips puffy—pure perfection.
“Be…because…”
I smiled, capturing her lips with mine again as we slowly tumbled backward. I meant to keep walking toward the cabin, but instead, my feet slipped underneath me. The fall on my back was worth it as Cressida’s beautiful body landed on top of me, her full tits right in my face.
She looked down at me with a giggle. “Are you okay?”
“Better now,” I murmured, sucking one hardened nipple between my teeth.
“Aaron,” she gasped but pushed her pussy farther into my hardened groin.
I moaned, gripping her ass and pushing her closer against my body.
“I need you, sweetness. Need to feel you come on my cock,” I growled into her chest.
I wrapped my palm around my shaft, my cock primed and ready for her.
I thought she might protest. To still want to go back to the cabin before we went any further.
Instead, my girl leaned back, sliding off her pants so I could get a big whiff of her arousal as soon as her waiting pussy was exposed.
“Oh, sweetness,” I groaned, gripping her bare ass.
“Is this going to hurt when you’re on the ground like that?” she asked.
So fucking innocent. Caring. Beautiful. And so fucking mine.
“Not with you riding my cock,” I growled, pushing her heated pussy closer to the head of my dick.
She gripped my sides as she slowly eased her pussy lips over my cock, hovering just before sliding the tip inside.
“Fuck,” I groaned.
“It’s so big, I have to take it slow,” she murmured, sliding down another inch.
“Take all the time you need, sweetness. I’ll let you drive,” I promised, gripping her hips and helping to guide her until she was filled to the hilt.
She moaned, tilting her head back. “So. Full.”
“Do you like it, sweetness?” I asked, slowly thrusting my hips.
“Oh, yes. You’re hitting me right at my clit,” she moaned, her eyes squeezing shut as she matched my rhythm, fucking me hard against the ground.
I didn’t care that rocks and tree limbs dug into my back. Or that the blood of the enemy I had defeated was still on the ground. All I cared about was the way Cressida’s mouth formed a perfect O as she rode me like a fucking champ.
“That’s it, sweetness. Ride my cock. Take it all until you milk the come from my dick,” I growled, gripping one hand onto her waist and using the other to rub my thumb along her clit.
“Oh, Aaron, that feels amazing,” she moaned, pushing her pussy closer and closer to me as her pace picked up.
Seeing her so close to orgasm and smelling her arousal, I knew I wouldn’t last long. But not until she went first.
“Come for me, Cressida. I want to feel you come all over this cock as I mark you again. Once wasn’t enough. Not after what that bastard tried to pull.”
She moaned, tilting her body forward. Her pace quickened as her lips grazed my shoulder, then the slight tip of her canines. “Only if I get to mark you again, too.”
“Whatever you want, sweetness. No matter what I gotta do, it’s yours. Always.” My own teeth immediately bared, slinking along her skin.
As I felt her come hard around me, her canines gripped my shoulder. I howled before clamping hard onto her shoulder, my come spilling into her as I marked her bare shoulder so it matched the other side.
We both panted in the wake of our release—the smell of sex and blood still in the air.
“I think we need to get cleaned up,” she managed to breathe, her feet still wobbly as she tried to stand.
“Here. Let me help you.”
I gently set her aside before getting up and scooping her in my arms again before she could even protest.
“Maybe I should be the one carrying you,” she said with a laugh but put her arms around my neck as I cradled her close.
“No, you did the work, sweetness. And now I think we both deserve a nice, hot shower.”
Walking the few steps to my cabin, I kicked the door in, not caring where our clothes had gone or how much mud I tracked in.
I could deal with that later.
Right now, I was still glowing after the battle and the safety of my woman in my arms.
I gently sat her down on the shower bench before turning on the water, making sure it was at a steady, even stream.
Cressida went to stand, but I grabbed her waist and whirled her around so she was under the water.
“Ah, what are you doing?” she gasped, the spray falling over her face.
“I’m taking care of you,” I murmured, grabbing her fruit-scented body wash and the loofah she kept on the rack.
After squirting the sweet liquid onto the sponge, I scrubbed it over her body, letting the grime and blood wash away in the drain.
“You know, I can do this myself,” she whispered, but her voice had no conviction.
I kneeled down, scrubbing between her legs but unable to keep my mouth away from her beautiful pussy.
“And I can do it too,” I whispered before placing a kiss right on her wet slit.
I should have known that wouldn’t be enough as her scent surrounded me. Unable to resist, I ran my tongue between her puffy lower lips, watching as she shivered beneath my touch. Pulling her closer to me, I dove my tongue into her pussy, tasting her sweetness.
“Aaron,” she moaned, her fingers going to my hair and pulling me closer as she thrust her hips against my awaiting face, fucking my lips with her beautiful pussy.
But it wasn’t enough for me. Even as I knew she was close, her walls clenching around my tongue, I pulled back.
She gasped, looking at me with wide eyes. I smiled, gripping her waist and pushing her against the shower wall before impaling her waiting pussy with my cock. She moaned, meeting my hips in thrust for thrust.
We fit perfectly together. We always did.
I couldn’t get enough of my sweet, sweet mate. And I never would.
“Right there, Aaron,” she moaned, gripping my shoulders, her thrusts getting shorter and harder as she pushed against my cock.
“Fuck, yes, are you going to come for me again, sweetness? Come all over my cock while you mark me?”
“Yes, Aaron. Oh yes,” she moaned.
I gripped hard onto her waist before crushing her lips to mine. We were both close, and I knew soon we’d finish, but I needed to taste her lips again. To feel her tongue as she moaned into my mouth.
Then I let my kisses trail down her neck, feeling my own orgasm building as I licked the new mark I’d placed on her pretty skin. Her whole body exploded as she came hard.
I howled, my body shuddering as I released hot spurts into her tight heat before nipping her shoulder. She gasped, her body shaking again as I toyed with her fresh mating mark.
Fireworks shot behind my eyelids, and my whole body was heavy. But as I opened my eyes and met her sleepy stare, I knew my woman had to be taken care of.
I quickly cleaned her up, letting her sit on the bench while I made sure to get every bit of grime off her beautiful body. Then I grabbed a fluffy towel, drying her off before carrying her to bed.
She didn’t protest about me taking care of her, just let her eyes drift slowly shut.
It took everything I had to rinse off quickly before I joined her in bed. Even though my cock begged for more as I slid against her naked body, I knew there would be plenty of time for that.
She was safe.
She was mine.
And we were both right where we were meant to be.
Together. Forever.
