Chapter Twelve
“Kiera just tell me what to say,” he begged.
She threw her hands in the air. “I don’t know!”
“Then why the ‘nope’?”
“Hunter, do you really have no idea how big you are?”
He glanced down, then back up at her. “No.”
She pinched the bridge of her nose. “That thing has ‘ER visit’ written on it.”
“I swear it doesn’t.”
“You’re hard right?”
Hunter swallowed. “Mostly.”
“That’s not even at one-hundred percent?!”
Hunter dropped to his knees and took her hands. “I will do whatever you need me to do, for this to work.”
She bit her bottom lip. “You can’t make it smaller right?”
He shook his head. “I will go slow and stop whenever you need me to.”
She could feel the trembling in his hands. “Hunter, whatever arousal I had evaporated when I freaked out.”
He stood. “We have all night. Let me get you back in the mood.”
She had had lovers before, but none came close to Hunter in size. She was legitimately worried about having to go to the hospital. She exhaled. “I mean women give birth and it stretches for that, right?”
“You’re equating mating with me, to giving birth?”
“Hunter I am in fear for my internal organs over here.”
He stared. “That can happen?”
“It can.”
His shoulders slumped. “Never mind, it’s not worth hurting you.”
She felt awful, but dammit, he was huge! “We can go slow. Unless you don’t plan on mating me.”
He shook his head repeatedly. “I want that more than anything.”
She knew he meant the mating more than the sex. She looked down. Even deflated, he was still impressive. “Very slow.”
“I can do very slow,” he promised. He smiled. “Give me number between three and ten.”
“Four.”
“I will make you come four times before we even try.”
She opened her mouth and closed it again. “I mean… if we have to,” she said, giving him a teasing smile.
She could see the tension leave him at her playfulness. She began pulling her clothes off and sure enough, he was right back to being intimidating. She ignored that for now. “What are you waiting for?”
Seconds later he was completely naked. She froze. “How’d you do that?”
He shrugged. “My mate told me to get undressed, why delay?”
She stared.
He squirmed.
It wasn’t just the length, he was thick too.
She had average sized hands and was barely able to wrap her hand around him.
She had to admit, though, he was beautiful.
It wasn’t any one thing. His facial features were good, but his smiling eyes made everything come together.
His body was the same. Barrel chested, but not to the point where she wondered how his arm bent.
He had a tapered ‘V’ at his hips, but his waist was broader than most men.
His legs looked like tree trunks giving an overall impression of strength.
She continued staring.
His hands moved to cover his groin. “Kiera?”
“Missionary could work. But, I’m thinking Cowgirl might give me more control.”
His hands dropped and he smiled wide. “Sure!”
“I’ll take a raincheck on those four orgasms. If I come four times, you won’t be able to penetrate me later.”
His head bobbed, agreeing to whatever she said.
She slipped out of her bra and panties, expecting to feel a little embarrassed, but she wasn’t. “Lay down,” she said, pointing to the blankets.
He saluted. “Yes, ma’am!”
She laughed. “Goofball.” She knew he wanted her relaxed, and was acting silly to get her to smile. “Hunter, I’m pretty sure I love you.”
He looked up at her from their blankets. “Pretty sure?”
“I’m risking my spleen, if that’s not love I don’t know what is.”
He laid back, then reached for her. “Come down here, my love.”
She deliberately dropped to her knees and crawled toward him.
He groaned out loud. “Gods, Kiera.”
She climbed over his body and straddled his waist. She immediately felt his hard, hot length slid against her. “Oh, that’s nice,” she whispered.
Using her hips, she undulated over him, causing both of them to moan. She could feel the thick vein climbing up the side of his cock. She leaned forward and the head of his penis teased her clit.
“Do that again,” he begged, in a strangled voice.
She moved against him over and over again, driving both of their needs higher.
She bent down, allowing the tips of her breasts to be teased by his chest hair.
He inhaled sharply. “I don’t deserve you.”
She smiled. “We’re just getting started.”
“I won’t make it.”
She continued to move slowly until his large hands gripped her waist. “Please,” he whispered.
She reached down and guided him into her body. As he entered, she felt him stretching her until she nearly hit the point of pain. “Don’t move,” she ordered. She took a deep breath and inched backward, slowly taking more of him.
He nodded, keeping his hands on her waist.
She leaned forward and began rocking her body backward, taking him a bit more each time. He let her control how they came together, so it was never more than she could handle.
She looked down at his pained expression and the way the tendons on his neck were pulled tight. She knew he was getting close, and she had only taken him about halfway. Instead of worrying about depth, she increased her speed and he threw his head back.
Bingo.
She kept up that pace until they were both struggling to breathe. She had never been filled like this before.
“Kiera,” he said, from between grit teeth. He moved his hand around to the front of her body so that on each push forward, he would graze her clit.
“Yes!” she exclaimed and picked up her speed even more.
“Close,” he said, hoarsely.
“Do it,” she said, tilting her neck.
His eyes opened and he moved faster than she could track. One second, he was on his back begging, the next he had risen up enough to bury his canines in her neck. Between them he squeezed her clit and she detonated. She felt her orgasm trigger his.
He pulled his mouth back to roar his pleasure.
She could almost feel the essence of his bear expanding to envelop her.
Two small spheres of light lifted and moved in opposite directions.
His warm light found her heart and her small ball of white light disappeared into his chest. He was now forever a part of her, and she would always be with him.
Exhausted, she simply fell forward to lie on him, leaving him still inside her.
“Are you okay?” he asked, running his hands over her hair.
“Never… better,” she whispered. Her mouth had gone dry a while ago.
He chuckled lowly at her raspy voice. Gently, he lifted her forward, and he pulled free.
“Ahhh,” she moaned. There was a bite of pain, then just the feeling of being empty.
He carefully rolled her to his side and kissed her forehead. “I’ll find something for us,” he said, then began looking through the camping tote.
He came back with a rueful expression. “Ryuu packed cloth napkins and water bottles,” he admitted, sheepishly.
“Gods all love that man,” she said, reaching for the water.
He opened the bottle, poured some on the cloth, and handed her the rest. She was about to take a sip when she yelped.
“Sorry! I know it’s a bit cold,” he said, wiping her clean.
Not wanting to drown herself, she waited until he was done, then took a long drink.
She closed her eyes and stretched. Moments later, he joined her and pulled her into his arms. “Not bad?” he asked.
“I think I am now a huge fan of that position.”
“Everything… okay?”
She threw a leg over him and snuggled close. “Honestly, that was way better than I thought it’d go.”
He sighed in relief. “It will get better,” he promised.
She shivered as tremors worked down her body. “I’m the luckiest woman on Earth.”
“Only the best for my baby.”
“Round two in the morning,” she promised, then closed her eyes.
She felt him cover them with the blankets and the next thing she knew, she was asleep.
*****
Kiera poured a handful of Skittles in her mouth and took a bite out of the chocolate bar. Hunter woke her up early for round two, and she was only just now cleaned, dressed and watching him re-pack their tent.
She reached for more sugar to replenish the energy she swore he stole from her. “We could just burn it and leave it here,” she suggested.
He growled. “Don’t tempt me. I would, but it’s not mine. Zev got it when he went camping in the Redwood.” He gave another small growl, then twisted a piece, before sliding it into the bag. “There! Damn that thing is a pain in the ass.” He had finally finagled the thing back into the case.
He looked over and saw her, Skittles in one hand and chocolate in the other. “We need to get you some real food.”
She looked down at her watch. “We have two hours until we have to go before the Elder Council and I want a shower.”
He held out his hand to help her stand.
She stuffed the Skittles in her pocket and grabbed his hand.
Once again, he picked up everything and they made their way back to the Nu estate.
Hunter left everything by the back door and they walked inside. The smell of bacon lured them into the kitchen.
“They live,” Caiden teased.
Kiera sat next to a barely awake Meryn and exhaled. “It was a close call.”
Meryn peeled one eye open. “Fucking huge right?”
Kiera nodded before she realized what she was doing, then her head swung around to look at Meryn. “You too?”
Meryn yawned. “Maybe it’s a bear thing.”
Kiera looked down at Meryn’s belly, and very small stature. “You poor thing.”
Meryn snorted, then met her eyes. They stared at one another for a second, then they both started laughing.
Aiden and Hunter watched their mates, both men shrugged, then reached for bacon.
Genevieve handed Kiera a wax paper wrapped BLT. “I figured you’d want something easy so you could jump in the shower.”
Kiera took the sandwich and stood. For a second, her legs almost betrayed her. Meryn reached up and steadied her. “Easy there, soldier.”
“Thanks.”
Hunter was halfway to his feet to help her, when she waved him off. “I’m going to go get ready.” She took a huge bite of her sandwich. The bacon was cooked perfectly, and the tomato had just the right amount of tang. “Can I get one of these to go?”
Genevieve nodded. “Of course.”
