I gestured at the bed.“Once you are ready to accept me, sweet Brenna, all you must do is turn on all fours and offer me the use of your mating hole.I will claim you from behind, and when I first mount you, I will release the mating call.It’s a signal to my people that we are joining as lifemates.To hear a mating call in my tribe is a cause for great merriment, and you will hear the sounds of celebration echoing in the cavern long into the night as my people rejoice in our union.”

Her only response to this information was a slight widening of her eyes and a softly murmured, “Oh my.”

I stroked her hair for a while, then pushed the snowsuit off her shoulders.She was wearing a thick sweater, and probably another layer under that as well.

I wanted to rip her clothing off quickly so I could glimpse her nudity, but I didn’t wish to frighten her or ruin her clothing, so I took a deep, calming breath and endeavored to take my time.

“You’re right,” she said.“It is warm in here.”She reached out to hover a hand over the sun-moss covered wall.“Wow, is this where the warmth is coming from?”

“Yes, the sun-moss keeps our cavern warm.You can sometimes find it growing inside fallen tree trunks on the mountain too.You can often find pokklam berries growing in the light of sun-moss, and we grow and harvest large quantities of the delicious golden berries here in our cavern.”Thinking she might be hungry after her long journey, I hurried to the other side of my alcove and retrieved a basket of pokklam berries.I knelt in front of her and offered her the food.

She peered at the berries with curiosity but finally picked one up and popped it into her mouth.Her eyes went wide with pleasure as she chewed.“Wow, these are really good.Thank you, Karm.”

“Eat as many as you like.Are you very hungry?I also have nuts and I would be happy to cook you a fish.”

“I’m just a little hungry,” she said with a smile.“A few more berries ought to satisfy me.I don’t want to eat a large meal before…” Her voice trailed off, but I caught her meaning.She didn’t want to eat a large meal before we mated.

We shared the berries for a while longer, a comfortable silence falling between us.Once we’d eaten our fill, I set the basket aside and resumed undressing her.She assisted me in removing her snowsuit, as well as the pants and sweater she was wearing underneath.At last, she rose to her feet, standing before me in a thin, tightly fitted shirt and pants that I suspected were more like human undergarments.I also saw the outline of even more garments under this layer, smaller coverings that seemed to shield her breasts and nether region.

I settled on the floor near the bed and pulled her closer, guiding her to sit on my lap.Circling my arms around her, I pressed my lips to hers and savored the taste of her.Mine.My sweet Brenna.My female for all time.

BRENNA

Karm’s cockfelt huge beneath my bottom, and I couldn’t seem to sit still on his lap.Desire heated my blood as I wiggled in place, reveling in the feel of his huge, pulsing shaft.To my surprise, his lips tasted strongly of mint, as well as the pokklam berries we’d just shared.

As he deepened the kiss, I marveled at my predicament.This wasn’t the cozy, secluded cabin I’d envisioned, but thus far, I didn’t have any complaints.If Trevor had taken me to a cabin, I would’ve had to stay there all alone.For weeks.Months.Maybe even years.Sure, I would’ve seen my cousin when he occasionally stopped by to bring supplies, but what kind of life would that have been?A very lonely one indeed.

Karm’s kisses made my head spin, and when he finally broke away, I struggled to catch my breath.The warmth panging in my core was almost unbearable, and I couldn’t help but grind myself down on his lap, wiggling over his hardness.His eyes flashed with pleasure, and he emitted another one of those sexy growls.

He lifted me up and knelt before me as he peeled my thermal pants down.I held on to his shoulders for support as I stepped out of the garment, stunned by how deliberately careful he was being with my clothes.I’d worried he might rip the garments off, and while that sounded sexy in theory, I didn’t have any extra clothing in my backpack, and I needed to have something to wear tomorrow and the next day.

As though reading my mind, he said, “I will scour the nearest cabins as soon as possible and find adequate clothing for you, sweet Brenna.But until I’m able to do so, I am certain the other human females in my tribe will be happy to allow you to borrow things.Everyone in the Starblessed tribe always comes together to welcome a new female, and some of the females will likely give you clothing items as gifts.”

My throat suddenly burned, and I couldn’t wait to meet the members of Karm’s tribe.Having spent my whole life in a crowded city that was plagued by violence, I wasn’t used to living in a tight-knit community where people looked out for one another.I couldn’t manage a response, so I simply nodded while blinking fast.I didn’t want to risk breaking down in tears right before we mated.That would certainly put a damper on the sexy times.

Karm pulled the thermal shirt over my head and tossed it aside, leaving me standing before him in nothing but my bra and panties.It was the height of winter in the Cascade Mountains, and we were in a cave, but it was pleasantly warm.I glanced at the sun-moss, appreciating the light and heat it provided.But my gaze soon returned to Karm.

He stood tall in front of me, his huge erection jutting out from his muscular, fur-covered body, a drop of his essence glistening on the bulbous tip.

I licked my lips as ravenous urges assailed me.I wanted to belong to him.I wanted to feel his hugeness inside me as he claimed me as his lifemate.

How long would it take until a heart-bond developed between us?

With shaking hands, I unfastened the front clasp of my bra, allowing the undergarment to slide away.Karm’s nostrils flared and his eyes widened.A quick glance at his male appendage showed he was becoming larger still.Just how big was that thing going to get?I fought back a wave of panic as I wondered whether it would fit.I was no blushing virgin, but I was quite small compared to Karm.

“Do not be afraid, sweet Brenna.I promised to be gentle with you, and I intend to keep that promise.I will enter you slowly and allow you to become used to my girth before I start rutting you.”He reached out and clasped a hand over my left breast, and I moaned and arched my back, seeking more of his touch.

I needed to get on the bed, I reminded myself.I needed to turn on all fours and offer him the use of mymating hole—his words.I flushed at the thought.A whimper left my throat when he released my breast and stood back, watching me with that assessing gaze of his, pale blue eyes glowing bright with need.I sensed that he was waiting for me to make the next move, that he didn’t wish to rush or frighten me, and warmth flowed through me at the realization.

I drew in a deep breath and pushed my panties down, stepping out of the undergarment and tossing it aside.Naked.I was fully naked in front of the huge Sasquatch who wished to mate with me.His shaft swelled larger, and another growl left him and reverberated off the walls of his alcove.

I’ll be safe here.If I mated with Karm, he would protect me.He would keep me hidden from the authorities and the mob goons.I wouldn’t have to fear for my life any longer.

But if I mated with him, there would be no going back.

Sasquatches—Montikaans—mated for life.
