Chapter 29 #2
I growl and go in for the kill, and by kill I mean tickling him to death.
Cam let it slip one day that Aiden is incredibly ticklish and will howl like a baby.
I lunge at him before he realizes what my goal is, and tickle his sides mercilessly.
I do avoid his injuries, I’m not that cruel.
His eyes widen in shock and horror just before he begins howling.
I cackle maniacally as he trips trying to get away from me and I pounce on him. I show no mercy.
“Stop, stop, please stop, Kinley!” He cries out, and still I laugh.
This is too fucking funny.
“You know what I want. Give it to me, and I’ll stop,” I say between laughing my ass off. It’s getting pretty difficult to keep my place on top of him and tickle him. He’s strong, but with only one hand to try and stop me, I still manage.
“What the hell is going…” Brent and Don’s loud voices cut short, as they see what is happening.
“Shit, princess, you’re ruthless.”
“Baby, let the poor guy up.”
They are just enough of a distraction that Aiden is able to shove me off of him and hide behind Brent.
“Brent save me; she’s gone feral,” Aiden pants, knowing that Don won’t protect him against me.
They both tower over me, from my position, sprawled on the floor. Their eyes gleaming with laughter. Why did I like them both looming over me so much?
Aiden peeks out from behind Brent, his eyes narrowing. “Who told you I was ticklish?”
I just smirk at him, miming zipping my lips. He growls and I growl right back.
In my sweetest, syrupy voice I ask. “Brent, could you please get my phone from Aiden?”
His eyes light up. “What’s in it for me, princess?”
All sorts of sordid things flit through my mind at his suggestive tone.
Nope, nope, nope, not going there.
Not even justifying him with a response, I ask the one I know will help me.
I brush myself off as I stand, and walk to my mate.
My hips sway more than usual. His chuckle full of amusement and a hint of arousal as I approach him.
His hand snaps out, snagging my phone out of Aiden’s fingers, placing it in my hand as I lean up to kiss his waiting lips.
“Thank you, baby,” I whisper against his mouth, nipping his bottom lip playfully.
He smirks, side-eyeing the other two, before saying, “Anything for you, mate.”
I stick my tongue out at Aiden and Brent. Am I being childish? Yes, yes I am. Do I care? Absolutely not.
“Looks like your mate could use something else to occupy her mouth with, Don,” Brent says darkly.
I roll my eyes at him, but I smirk at Don, licking my lips as I eye him up and down. Aiden coughs loudly before I can do anything further.
“Well, this is getting entirely too heated for me, so I’m gonna go patch myself up. Brent, could you give me a hand?”
Brent looks like he wants to do anything but help him, but he lets Aiden lead him out of our room.
Don shuts the door behind them, leaning against it, eyeing me hungrily. “You like pushing his buttons, don’t you?”
“What? He has been such a dick lately. Yes, I get that I was being stupid, but I’ve apologized multiple times, Don. If he is going to be an ass, then I’m going to push his buttons.”
The heavy sigh that leaves him makes me pause.
“What’s wrong?”
“Just a long day at work, baby. I missed you.”
“I missed you too, Don.”
I go up to him, wrapping my arms around his waist, snuggling my face into his chest, inhaling his scent.“So, there is something I wanted to talk with you about.”
His hands brush up and down my back, giving me all sorts of warm fuzzies. “What’s that?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking about going back to work.”
Resting my chin on his chest, I peer up at him.
“I’m not sure that is the best idea; it’s not safe.”
“I’m pretty sure I’m going to get fired if I don’t go back.”
His hands travel down until each cups my ass. He boosts me up, making me squeak with the sudden change of height. Resting my arms on his shoulders, I‘m now directly in front of his face.
“Are you trying to distract me?”
“I’m trying to hold my mate. Wrap your legs around me, baby.”
I do as he asks, and he starts walking towards the bed. My mouth opens to protest. I still want to talk about going back to work.
“We can talk about you going back to work later. Right now, I want to lay you down and lose myself in you for a little while.”
I soften in his arms. “Ok, we can talk later.”
I kiss his lips, pressing mine into his, letting him feel the desire that is always present for him.
Laying me down gently, he begins removing my clothes. My nose wrinkles as I remember just how sweaty I still am.
“Don…I’m all sweaty and gross.”
“Mmmmmm, more flavor.”
I snort. “Gross.”
“Hush, I’m concentrating. I’ve been craving you all day.”
My cheeks flush. “I always crave you, Don.”
He hums in agreement as he finishes removing my clothes. Quickly, he divests himself of his own clothes until we are both bare. Seeing my mating mark on Don’s shoulder, the scarring from my teeth shining in the low light, brings up an uneasy feeling.
“Don…what would have happened if Aiden hadn’t been joking and he really did bite me? Could he have actually claimed me?”
“Baby, he would never do that. Are you worried he will?”
“No, I just need to know if a claim can be forced.”
“No, baby, a mate bond has to be accepted by both.”
“Why would he say that then?”
Don sighs, propping himself up on his elbows. My hands come up to rest on his sides.
“For one, he wanted to get a reaction out of your beast, which he did, by the way. But, there have been stories of bonds being broken and forced when dark magic is involved. That’s not something you need to worry about, though.”
Then why do I keep thinking about it?
“Will I ever have control over my magic?”
“Kinley, of course you will. You have to remember it took us all years to fully control our powers. The fact that you can even do the things you are already doing, even if it’s not a conscious effort, is beyond what anyone should be capable of.
Baby, you are a marvel. The control will come in time.
Your powers are just starting to unfurl. ”
His touch on my face is reverent, and he’s so sincere.
His open honesty and willingness to share anything I ask is rare and something I will cherish.
His faith in me makes me believe that I will be capable of controlling my powers, one day.
I know it’s silly to just expect to have full control, but I really want to understand my powers and use them.
Don’s gentle kiss brings my focus back to him.
“Now, I’m going to need you to stay right here and let me make you come. Then, I’m going to fill this perfect pussy with my cock.”
“Well, when you put it that way…yes, Sir.”
A grin spreads wide on his face. I love it when he smiles like that.
“I fucking love it when you call me that, baby.”
“I know…Sir.”
His eyes darken with lust and it makes my core clench with anticipation. I’m not expecting him to flip me over though. My gasp quickly turns into a throaty moan when his tongue dives into my wet heat.
“Ahh, Don… baby…so good.”
His beast must have been close to the surface because his tongue feels so long. Spreading my cheeks wide, he devours me from top to bottom. Feeling his tongue on every part of me feels depraved and so, so good. I pant and plead until I’m screaming through my orgasm.
He lays me down, shoving my hips into the bed, his powerful thighs bracketing mine.
Taking my hands, he brings them above my head, his fingers weaving between mine as he lays his body atop mine.
Shifting his hips back, he notches the head of his cock at my opening, my slickness easing his way into me.
He pushes deep until his hips are flush with my ass.
I moan at the fullness of him sheathing himself to the hilt.
“You grip me like a fucking glove, baby.”
“Don…so full.”
I’m completely at his mercy, fully pinned beneath his large muscled body. His thrusts are shallow but still hold power behind each one. The friction of his movements builds my next orgasm so quickly, each thrust gliding right against my g-spot.
“Don, please…I’m so close.”
“Kinley…you’re everything…baby, I love you so much.”
When his teeth clamp down over his mating mark, I detonate, and we climax together.
I scream his name into the bedcovers as Don empties himself deep within me, his roar muffled against my neck.
He rolls us onto our sides, and we both try to calm our breathing.
I pat his arm, “Good game.”
He snorts. “Smartass. You know, the memory of you tickling the shit out of Aiden is going to be one of my favorite memories.”
I look over my shoulder at him as he laughs.
“Really? Not the memory of this morning when I did that thing with my finger, while I sucked your cock?”
His chuckling stops immediately.
“Ok, you’re right, that is a way better memory. And…now I’m hard again.”
I can’t help the laughter that bubbles up. He rolls me onto my back, seriously contemplating going for another round, but my stomach growls with hunger.
“Feed me first?”
His forehead comes down to rest on mine.
“Yes, food first…then we are coming right back to you being underneath me again.”
