Larz
As much as I didn’t want to scare her, I’d learned that keeping things from Ilona only made everything worse. I was almost sure that the footsteps I’d heard in the woods were hunters, and that they’d traveled farther into the forest than ever. Searching for me, no doubt.
I didn’t want to ruin our plans for the claiming ritual and changing Ilona, so I decided to wait to tell her until after. Besides, she would be much safer against any attacks if she were able to shift. At least she would be able to heal.
Preparations for our mating ritual had been in the works since the moment I laid eyes on Ilona. I had gathered everything she would need to be comfortable before and after the sting. I ran her a warm bath filled with scented oils and left her there to soak while I set everything up.
First, I set the mood by dimming the lights to a sensual red.
I made an array of playlists for her to choose from, depending on her mood.
I lined the brand new mattress with black silky sheets and plush pillows.
Both nightstands were stocked with cold water, snacks, and different-sized toys for her to choose from.
Lastly, tucked away under my side of the mattress was a fat, shiny ruby ring. We hadn’t known each other long, but I knew Ilona was my fated mate. In my world, the claiming ritual was as close to human marriage as it could get. If she was going to indulge in my traditions, I wanted to include hers.
She emerged from the bathroom with a black, sheer robe draped over her naked body.
My mouth watered as I drank in her soft curves.
She pulled the tie from her hair, sending her voluminous, two-toned curls cascading down her shoulders, covering her nipples that had been poking through the scandalous fabric.
Even from across the room, she smelled divine. She’d lathered herself with the cocoa and shea butter I’d left out on the vanity for her. The way it mixed with the smell of her arousal was intoxicating. Shivers ran over my skin as she approached me. Tonight, I wouldn’t have to hold back.
With a roll of my neck and shoulders, I let myself shift. My tail grew from the small of my back and hit the floor with a dull thunk. My claws stretched from under my arms. My split tongue elongated and darkened along with my eyes.
Ilona gasped and looked at me through hooded, warm eyes as my muscles swelled and I stretched a foot taller. I pushed her robe over her shoulders and planted kisses over her collarbone as it pooled around our feet.
Her whimpers sent shocks through me, causing me to drop to my knees in front of her. Although she seemed to like it when I took charge, I was really putty in her hands. Everything I did was to please her. Everything I would ever do for the rest of my life would be to please her.
I gripped her hips and pulled her towards me, burying my face in the soft hill of her belly. Gently, I kissed my way down between her legs, where she planted her palm on my forehead and pushed me back. I looked up at her with furrowed brows.
“Ah, ah, ah,” her tone was playful, laced with a bit of sin. “Beg for it.”
I straightened my spine, holding my hands behind my back as I looked up at her. I was so tall in this form that, on my knees with my posture straight, her perfect breasts were at eye level. I forced myself to look up into her eyes.
“Please,” I begged, my voice still low and full of authority.
“Please, what?”
“Please, let me taste you.”
“More.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “I don’t believe you really want it.”
I couldn’t deny the shudders that raced down my spine when she took control. I was like a dog at her feet, waiting patiently for my reward. And I liked it.
“Please, baby. I promise I’ll be a good monster,” I dropped to my hands and crawled closer, “I promise to please you. I need to please you.”
“But do you deserve it?” She tried to make her voice sound stern, but I could hear her throat trembling as her skin pebbled. I straightened again and took it as my opportunity to snatch the control back.
I curled my tail around her waist and pulled her closer.
“Yes, I deserve it. Because it belongs to me.” I ran my fingers through her wetness. “Doesn’t it?”
She groaned, her head falling back slightly as she tried to buck into my fingers. “Yes, daddy, it belongs to you.”
“That’s my good girl. Now, are you going to give me what’s mine?”
She nodded. I grasped her thigh and threw her leg over my shoulder, teasing her before diving in. Her thighs were hot against my lips, trembling under my touch. She smelled so delicious that I couldn’t help but sink my teeth in.
Ilona hissed in a breath and leaned into the bite, I was gathering that she liked her pleasure mixed with a bit of pain. I trailed my kisses upward, pausing when I reached her dripping cunt and ran my teeth across her swollen clit.
“Shit.” She grabbed my hair, pulling me in, but I was stronger. “Please,” her breathy whines only made me more feral, “please, I need it.”
I licked the entire length of her, gathering her arousal on my tongue and savoring the taste. She twitched over me, the smell of her need becoming overpowering. I couldn’t resist any longer.
I took her clit into my mouth just how she liked it, working my tongue over it as I sucked rhythmically. She reacted immediately, tightening her fingers in my hair and pushing her hips into me. She was taking all the friction she could get.
She soaked my chin as she rode my face, breathing filthy words of pleasure into the air. Her knees started to shake against me, so I grasped her thighs and lifted her into my arms. Not once did I release her clit from my punishing hold.
With a gasp, she clung around my head for dear life as I carried her over to the bed.
“How the-” Her voice shook with a mix of fear and intrigue. “Fuck, I didn’t know you were that strong.”
I smiled against her pussy before releasing her clit with a loud pop and slamming her onto the silky sheets. I took my time removing my clothes as she watched me with hungry eyes.
“Are you ready to be mine, my little stinger?” I lowered myself onto the bed, positioning myself on top of her with my hands on either side of her head. My prey, caged and ready for the taking.
She squeezed her eyes shut and nodded quickly. “Yes, I’m ready.”
I chuckled, kissing her neck in the exact spot I would sting. “Relax, baby, that part will come soon. After I’ve made you come as much as I’d like.”
Before she could respond, I moved down and sucked her clit into my mouth again, finishing what I’d started. When I pressed two fingers inside of her, it took almost no time for her to clench around me.
“Fuck, daddy, you eat it so good. Don’t stop.” Her filthy words fueled me forward. “You want me to come in your mouth?”
I hummed, nodding my head slightly in response as I slammed my fingers into her harder. Within seconds, she was screaming and clenching around me so hard that I almost couldn’t move them. I didn’t stop until she was gasping for air and pulling me by my hair into a kiss.
After she had gotten a good taste of herself on my lips, she planted her small hands on my chest and pushed me over onto the bed, so she was straddled on top of me.
Looking up at her, it was like an angel was descending upon me. Her curls hung around her face like a halo, her cheeks were flushed and gorgeous with an after-orgasm glow. As much as my clit was throbbing and begging for her touch, it was my heart that thumped the hardest.
For a moment, everything faded as she stared into my eyes. Everything I had ever wanted and needed was right here with me. She was open and ready to be mine. I almost felt like I didn’t deserve it, but with how much time I’d spent alone and waiting to meet her, I couldn’t help but soak it all in.
I reached up to caress her cheek. She leaned into my touch and bent down to kiss me, deeply and passIlonately. As her soft lips glided against mine, I was so entranced that I didn’t notice her hands traveling downward.
The first brush across my clit sent a jolt through my body. I gasped against Ilona’s lips, and she pulled away with a smirk.
“What’s wrong, baby?” She teased, continuing her light touch between my legs. “You want me to make you come?”
I reached up, gripping her hair hard and tugging her mouth back down to mine. I took her plump bottom lip between my teeth, biting down hard enough to draw blood.
“Yes,” I pulled her down again, positioning her ear over my lips. “Make me proud, babygirl.”
She pushed two fingers inside of me. A ragged groan shook my chest. I was almost stretched to my limit around her. She pumped slowly, dragging out every moan. It felt so good, my head swam.
“Just like that, baby, just a bit faster.”
She smiled and dangled her perfect, brown nipple above my lips as she picked up the pace. I sucked it into my mouth, matching the pace of her thrusts.
“You’re so wet for me, daddy.” It was true, the sound of my sopping pussy filled the room. “So fucking tight.”
I involuntarily clenched around her. My teeth clamped down on her nipple, pulling the most delicious moan from her. I was already so close it was embarrassing.
“You’re ready to come, aren’t you?” She teased me, but didn’t let up. She used her thumb to rub across my throbbing clit as she pounded into me. “Please come for me, Larz.”
My body responded to her naturally. Every muscle contracted along with my pussy, sending shocks through every cell. I pulled our lips together, letting her swallow my moans as the feeling radiated through me.
Before I could fully come down, Ilona repositioned herself over me. She spread my legs wide, gripping onto my thigh for support as she lowered her clit down to meet mine. She ground our pussies together, not bothering to start slow.
We were both so wet that she slid easily across me. Every time our clits rubbed against one another, I saw stars. Another orgasm was building quickly, and by the way she squealed above me, I could tell she was close, too.
I gripped hard onto the fleshy parts of her hips and pulled her down, helping her grind into me harder and faster. In seconds, we were both screaming each other’s names.
“Oh…my…fucking…” she gripped onto my thigh for dear life, “I’m coming, Larz, I’m coming!”
“Me too, baby,” I growled, “Come with me, come all over me.”
She collapsed onto my chest and I pulled her in, planting kisses on her damp forehead. We lay there, using each other’s breath to regulate down to a normal rate.
When we calmed, I sat up, still holding her in my lap, and grabbed the water and snacks I’d placed on the nightstand. I fed Ilona an assortment of fruits, cheeses, and bread. She took them all gratefully, making my chest warm. I loved taking care of my girl.
I opened a water bottle and placed it into her hands. “Drink.”
She barely took a small sip.
“All of it,” I demanded, “because I’m about to fucking destroy you.”
