Vivianna
Rik took us along the top of the stone wall that surrounded the castle.
From there, you could see the city lights laid out before us and the coast as the water lapped at the beach.
The fresh air was crisp in the cool of the evening and held the tang of salt from the water.
This was my kingdom, the land that I ruled, home to the people I was now in charge of.
Excitement built in my stomach at the thought of exploring and learning everything I could about this place.
“It’s beautiful here,” I said as I nestled deeper under Rik’s arm.
“It reminds me of home in some ways,” Rik mused.
“Tell me more about your home,” I encouraged. “All I know is that it’s on a mountain.”
Rik stopped us on a part of the wall that looked over the water and lifted me up to sit on the wide, flat lip, maneuvering himself between my legs so I could still feel his body heat.
When he looked up at me, his face was soft and full of emotion.
It was almost overwhelming, being the sole focus of so much affection.
“Yes, it is up on a mountain. The winters are harsh, and the snow can get up to waist-high. Then in the summer, it turns into a wonderland full of blooming flowers and plants. For me, though, fall is the best. Watching all the trees change color is something special,” Rik said, his gaze becoming cloudy as he pictured his home.
“What really made our pack special was the community. Everyone worked together to survive and support each other. Like here, the pack could shift any time they wanted, and we would even hunt that way.”
“I would love to see all of that one day,” I said, combing my fingers through his hair. “It sounds magical.”
Rik leaned in and cupped the back of my neck, before capturing my lips with his.
When he nipped at my bottom lip, I opened for him, and he delved in.
His other hand wrapped around my lower back and pulled me snugly to him until our bodies were molded together.
I met him with the same vigor, wrapping my legs around his waist and locking him in place as my hands gripped his shoulders.
Pulling back slightly, Rik rested his head against mine, just enjoying the closeness. “I don’t want you just to see it, I want you to help me lead it. Vivianna, Dama of the Imperial Dawn Pack, I would be honored to take you as a mate if you would have me.”
“Rik,” I said, almost breathless at the sincerity in his words. “There is nothing I’d love more than to take you as a mate.”
Fuck yeah. Mate number three, here we come.
Our lips seared together once more as he picked me up, and I wrapped myself even tighter around him.
As he started to walk, I burrowed my head in his neck, kissing and nuzzling all the skin I could find, trusting him to take us someplace where we could be alone.
Before long, I felt myself being placed on a soft bed and opened my eyes to find us in my room.
“Wow, we got here fast,” I commented.
Eloquent as always, I see.
Rik grinned down at me, his green eyes alight with passion and something a little wild. “Trust me, when a wolf has his prey in sight, he doesn’t waste time.”
I giggled at that. “Oh, I’ve suddenly become prey?”
Rik nipped at my jaw before sitting back and pulling off his shirt.
Well he just became my prey. Good god, that man is sex on a stick.
Remember, we talked about this—sexy time is my time.
Um, we have both been waiting for this tasty morsel of werewolf to be in a position for us to sink our teeth into, so forgive me for being unable to hold back my enthusiasm.
“Viv, I’m gonna need you to pay attention for this next part,” Rik said, biting my ear.
Jerking me back to the matter at hand, I gave him a guilty smile. “So sorry, you now have my full and utmost attention for however long you would like, my love.”
Rik’s chest started to rumble, and his eyes became hooded with lust. “For however long, hmm?”
Seeing the dominant side of Rik come out was doing all sorts of things for me, and I loved it.
I squirmed under him as he nipped his way down my throat, then slowly pulled my shirt up and off.
When he revealed my bra, he grabbed the front of it and ripped it open, freeing my breasts.
Immediately, he latched onto one with his mouth as he molded the other in his hand.
I could feel his rough calluses against my skin, sending shivers down my spine, right to my core.
I rubbed my legs together, desperately trying to create some sort of friction to satisfy the need that was driving me crazy.
“Look at you, so meek and willing under my touch,” Rik whispered along my stomach as he worked at getting my pants off.
Lifting my hips, I let him drag the material off of me and toss it somewhere in the room.
Now the only thing keeping him from where I wanted him most was my cotton underwear.
I knew it would be soaked with how much I wanted this man, who had way too many clothes on for my liking.
I rolled away from him and sat up on my knees, crooking a finger at him.
“Now it’s your turn to bare it all, my love,” I purred, giving him a peck on the lips once he reached me.
I shoved him onto his back so I could get him naked. Flicking open the button of his jeans, I slowly unzipped them until his cock was released, standing proudly. I groaned at seeing how large it was—it was even bigger than Tav’s.
“What, is there some kind of rule that all alphas have to have big dicks?” I muttered as I yanked the rest of his jeans off.
“We wouldn’t want to disappoint our mates, now would we,” Rik teased, causing his cock to bob. As if I would forget it was there.
“Let’s see how cocky you really are,” I said, taking hold of him and giving it a firm squeeze before letting my hand run up and down its length.
Rik let out a deep, guttural groan at my attention and then hissed as I took him deep into my mouth.
Like Koit, he was a struggle to handle all in one go, but I wasn’t looking to rush things.
I wanted to take my time with this beautiful man, driving him just this side of crazy.
I placed my hands on his hips and let my nails bite into his skin just enough to leave a mark, dragging them down as I swallowed him.
This caused him to let out a roar and sit up, clutching at the bedding.
I appreciated that he didn’t try to grab for me to take him deeper.
I released him with a pop and grinned, seeing the sweat beading on his chiseled chest, his eyes wild. “How ya doing?” I teased.
Rik just growled before he pounced on me, ripping off my underwear and dragging me to the edge of the bed.
Leaving me so my hips were just off the edge of the mattress, Rik stood tall and proud before me, bending my legs back until my heels were by my head.
Catching me off guard, he swiped his tongue over my clit.
I cried out at how sensitive my little nub was and moaned as he did it again, slower this time.
Drawing back, I felt his finger enter me, then a second, followed by a third.
When he was convinced that I was ready, I watched him line up, and he paused to meet my gaze.
“Last chance to change your mind, Viv,” Rik said, his voice gravelly as he held himself back.
“You better fu—”
That was all he needed before he rammed home, balls-deep, then bent over to kiss me.
With slow, deep movements, he pulled all the way out and slid back home again, making me cry out each time.
When I was good and delirious, he picked up his speed.
I was trapped as he held my legs down, pumping into me, watching as his wolf came to the surface and joined in on the fun.
Words and sounds were coming out of my mouth, but fuck if I know what I was even saying.
I felt my release building, and Rik shifted a hand to start strumming my clit, causing the first orgasm to come barreling to the forefront.
In my mind, my wolf howled her delight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I did as well.
“Fuck, Viv, you are everything,” Rik said as he caught my lips and slowed his movements, giving me a moment to breathe. “To think I waited this long to taste your body.”
I moaned as he suckled at my neck and added his teeth ever so gently.
“Nope, you’re the amazing one. I think I just saw sound after that last orgasm.” I grinned as he released me and pulled me on top of him.
“I want to see you ride me, own me, be my queen, rule me.”
Fuck, when had dirty talk ever turned me on this much before?
Leaning down, I placed a hand on this throat and squeezed until I could feel his pulse. “Then rule you, I shall.”
Looking down at him as I rode him gave me a thrill I’d never felt before.
Seeing the trust in his eyes while having his life in my hands, watching him get lost in ecstasy as he closed his eyes and let me own his body, was everything.
I could feel him stiffen, and his breathing become erratic, letting me know he was getting as close as I was.
Releasing my grip on his neck, I replaced it with my teeth.
Latching into his windpipe, I bit down and made him groan in pleasure.
I took him deeper and swirled my hips before speeding up and bringing us both over the edge of pleasure as I bit down harder until I could taste his blood.
Once I released him, he surprised me by flipping me over and biting down on the back of my neck, slipping back into me at the same time, causing my sensitive channel to burst into another orgasm.
I could feel him spill out into me as he pumped the last few times, drawing out both our pleasure.
As he released me from his hold, he licked at my bite, soothing it as he curled around me.
Rikkart—my mate, my protector, and mine to keep forever.
