Chapter 6 #3
With a feral snarl, Aeolus spun Candy around and captured her mouth in a scorching, devouring kiss.
His thick fingers tangled in her hair, holding her in place as his tongue plundered the velvet depths of her mouth.
She whimpered against his lips, her nails raking down his back as she pressed herself wantonly against his powerful frame.
Aeolus broke the kiss with a sharp nip to her full lower lip, his blazing eyes flickering amber. “These clothes are coming off. Now.” His deep voice brooked no argument as he swiftly divested them both of their garments.
When Candy stood nude before him in the silvery moonlight, he circled her slowly, hungrily drinking in every lush curve and valley with his roaming gaze. His calloused palms mapped the soft planes of her body, stoking the raging inferno of his desire.
“So beautiful,” he rasped reverently. “So fucking mine.”
He grasped her hips, pulling her flush against him so she could feel the hot, heavy length of his arousal prodding at her belly. Candy’s lips parted on a soft moan, her fingers trailing down the ridges of his chiseled abdomen.
“Yes, yours,” she breathed. “Now claim me, Aeolus.”
A possessive rumble rolled through his broad chest as he lifted her easily, her legs winding around his narrow hips. Aeolus pressed her back against the solid trunk of a redwood, using the leverage to thrust the thick head of his shaft against her slick entrance in one powerful stroke.
Candy cried out, her nails scoring his shoulders as he stretched and filled her to the hilt.
He stilled for a moment, letting her adjust to the exquisite intrusion, before withdrawing almost completely.
Then he surged forward again, burying himself to the hilt over and over in a punishing rhythm that robbed the breath from her lungs.
The forest rang with the lewd, primal sounds of skin slapping against skin, of Candy’s broken moans and whimpers each time Aeolus impaled her on his thick length.
His harsh grunts mingled with the feminine keening noises torn from her throat as he pounded into her relentlessly, drawing ever closer to the shattering peak of release.
When Candy’s inner muscles began fluttering around him in telltale spasms, Aeolus sealed his mouth over hers once more, swallowing her ecstatic cries.
He pistoned his hips with increased fervor until, with a powerful surge, he exploded deep inside her rippling sheath.
Wave after wave of hot release flooded her as he staked his claim.
Aeolus slumped against the redwood, his harsh breaths stirring Candy’s tousled hair as he nuzzled her neck possessively.
Sated for the moment, the big alpha nuzzled his mate’s neck, inhaling her scent deeply. Candy melted against his muscular frame, her fingers playing idly through the damp curls at his nape as she basked in the afterglow.
When Aeolus finally lifted his head, his bright blue eyes glowed with satisfied possession. He traced the curve of her flushed cheek with one calloused fingertip.
“Mine,” he rumbled, the rich timbre of his voice vibrating through her bones.
Candy’s lips curved in a slow, sultry smile. “Yours,” she agreed readily, brushing a tender kiss across his sculptured mouth.
She could feel the lingering tremors of her release still fluttering in her core where he was buried so deeply, so intimately within her. The delicious ache only intensified her awareness of their profound connection - mind, body, and spirit now bound as mates.
With an indulgent groan, Aeolus withdrew from her velvet depths, his thick seed trickling down her thighs. He lowered her gently until her bare feet touched the soft loam.
“We should head back to the campsite.” His voice was low and rough, a decadent rumble that sent a fresh frisson of desire shivering through her.
Candy arched one brow at him coyly. “Getting tired already, Aeolus?” She trailed a fingertip down the rigid plane of his abdomen, outlining the deep grooves of muscle.
Aeolus’s eyes smoldered like blue flames as he captured her wandering hand and brought it to his lips. His tongue laved the sensitive pads of her fingertips in an erotic caress.
“Not a chance, my insatiable mate.” His gaze promised delicious retaliation for her teasing words. “The night is still young. And I plan to bury myself so deeply inside you that you won’t be able to walk straight for a week.”
A shiver of anticipation danced down Candy’s spine at his wicked vow, desire already rekindling low in her belly. Wrapping her arms around his powerful neck, she pulled his hard body flush against hers once more.
“Well then, I’d better get ready to howl, Alpha.”
Their heated kiss echoed through the shadowed forest as Aeolus bent to scoop her into his arms, her soft curves molding perfectly to his powerful frame. Candy clung to him with shameless abandon, already breathless with wanting him again.
As Aeolus strode purposefully toward their campsite, the primal scents of their recent lovemaking hung thick in the air, mingling with the earthen aromas of the ancient forest. The wolves of the nearby pack raised their muzzles, scenting the blatant claiming ritual as they howled their approval into the velvety night.
