She pulled back and I got worried until I saw her eyes glazed over. “Green light.” Then she flinched. “I mean, not for—”
“For deeper kisses,” I surmised, glad when she nodded and I scented relief. “Yes, please.” I cupped her head and kissed her deeply, exploring her mouth with my tongue.
Aurora fuckingwhimperedand leaned into me.
I kissed her for a while and then leaned my forehead to hers. “I promise it will all be so good like that, my mate. I won’t do anything that doesn’t make you feelthat goodor better.”
“I’m starting to truly believe you,” she rasped.
Oh shit. Oh fuck, she was crying. She tried to hide from me, but I had her on my lap on the bed in a flash. I hugged her and just kept promising her that I would always be good to her. I was about to break and beg her to tell me what I’d done wrong when she kissed my cheek and told me.
Aurora had gotten excited enough to get wet. It was the first time ever for her and I’d never felt more like… I wasn’t sure. It was amazing. She not only experienced that but felt safe enough to be able to tell me.
“You are not broken beyond repair like you think, my sweet, wonderful mate,” I promised her. “And we will enjoy every moment of you learning that.”
She took in a deep breath and let it out before looking up at me. “I would like more of those kisses now. I want more with you, Creed.”
Shit, I almost came in my shorts. I really did. Aurora had no idea how ridiculously sexy she was.
“It would be my honor and deepest pleasure,” I told her with a bit too much growl in my voice, but she shivered, so I took that as a good sign.
I lay her back on the bed and kissed all over her body. I kept it mostly to her neck and shoulders at first while I touched her hips and stomach, but then I realized she wasn’t nervous or scared anymore.
No, she was excited and there was even lust in her scent.
I kissed the tops of her breasts in her bra, smirking when her breath hitched. Then I kissed down her stomach and settled on her hips for a while.
“Fuck, the smell of you wet is so amazing,” I groaned.
“Creed!” she gasped as she pushed up.
“It is,” I defended. “I made my mate wet, and I want to lick it.” I glanced up when she froze. “That’s what I would do, Aurora. If you were ready, I would lick you until you cried out my name and came. I wouldn’t—you weren’t with real men. You were with monsters. I’m a man and care for you. Icraveyour pleasure.”
It was clear she had no idea what to say to that, and I wasn’t about to push her any more than I had, so I went back to kissing her soft,softskin.
“Would you really do this all of the time before we had sex?” she whispered so quietly that I barely heard her.
“Yes,” I answered immediately, looking up at her and not hiding how much I liked the idea. “Maybe not for as long eachtime, but I would absolutely do this and kiss all over your body to…”
“What?” she worried, pushing up again. “You don’t like doing it?”
I snorted. “Oh no, I like it. I’ve read how tactile lions are and now I get it.” I swallowed a sigh when it was clear that wasn’t going to be enough. “I was going to say so you got wound up, but I didn’t want to embarrass you again.”
She seemed settled with that but also conflicted? I wasn’t sure, but what I was getting off of her was that she was willing to let me continue.
So I did. I kissed her thighs and legs. I was careful not to go too close to where I wanted, but… I wasn’t sure if I did it right. She was turned on but not to the level I had hoped.
But I was more than willing to be patient and work through this.
Even if she wasn’t wrong that we were on a clock.
I just thought I could have handled it better or done more to show her that it would be amazing through us. So nothing surprised me more than when the next day she demanded I give her oral sex.
My response was less than smooth or what it should have been, but at least she knew it was genuine?
Hopefully, Aurora caught that.
Also, how excited it made me that she just told me what she wanted and I could please my future mate. I had her in our bed and was kissing all over her body before she could catch up with what was going on.
