My shirt ripped as I yanked it off too fast and that was when she got scared. My lion smacked me inside to pay attention and I smelled her fear. I promised her that I was fine, just excited to give my mate anything she wanted.
That seemed to help. A lot. She blushed and nodded things were okay.
I debated if I should take off her panties or just push them aside. I wasn’t sure what would be easier for her, and it made me realize I really needed to talk to that doc who helped partners of sexual trauma survivors.
So I decided to lick and kiss over her panties which Aurora really,reallyliked. I found her clit and just lapped at it.
“Creed, Creed, it’s happening,” she whimpered after a few minutes of teasing. “I knew she wasn’t lying and it was real, but—oh,ohhhhh. Creed, please. Please,please!”
I pushed her panties to the side and sucked on her clit, shivering when she screamed my name and came.
Fuck.
She was beyond perfect. I was leaking from one orgasm where she was only focused on me like that.
Her first orgasm. She gave me her first orgasm after all she’s been through. Was able to trust me and relax—I could give her that pleasure she’s never had.
Yeah, we were going to be fine. We could definitely work through this and be happy.
As long as I survived being unbound of course.

Aurora
After Creed’s session kissing my body and I realized I wasn’t as broken as I’d thought… Well, I realized a lot.
Like I had no idea what I was doing.
Alexis seemed amused as she sat and waited at the same coffee shop for me as our first meeting alone. This time I had demanded she meet me and give me the answers I needed since she was the one who started all of this and now I was unlocked.
“Care to explain?” she chuckled as I sat down, already having my drink and what I liked to eat waiting for me.
I blinked at what was sitting in front of me. “This is very kind of you. Thank you, Alexis.”
She gave me a knowing smile. “It’s rather common between friends. Real friends. All the friends in my circle would do the same. It’s how I know whether to keep someone in my circle and spend my limited time on them. If they can’t do something so simple as to order for me as well if they arrive first—why would I want them in my life?”
“Thank you,” I whispered, hearing the lesson and taking it to heart. “I will remember this.”
“We all have needed the help. Just as you are planning to help others with their nutrition and meal needs. I’ve let a lot of that slide like Ellie, so honestly we’re both relieved.” She gavea half shrug when I frowned. “We have money and can buy or order whatever, but it’s a lot to keep up with. It gets old fast. You are not just food, but a person who wouldmanagethat—”
“I understand,” I accepted and I did. We weren’t just planning a meal service but a whole concept of reinventing that sort of system without paying as much as a personal chef. We were going to offer variety but also remember clients’ preferences, issues, and any allergies.
We were going to be their… Housewives sounded condescending, especially when we were marketing to women who were too busy to start. But we were going to give that much care.
“So what are we discussing today?” she asked.
I heard her again. She was busy or had a busy day, so get to it because she made time for me since I mattered but couldn’t give me all of the time in her day.
Which was how I focused on what I had in front of me and very ungraciously blurted out what had happened.
“You have a good one there,” she purred with a smirk. “I heard lions were like that, but it’s good to know.” She chuckled when I huffed but then frowned. “Aurora, that was huge progress for you, especially after you just told me how scared you were and it almost ruined your fancy dinner. Please see that as progress.”
I opened my mouth but then closed it and growled. “I need like an outline, Alexis. I need like buoys for my new life. I’m…”
“What, hon?” she whispered, realizing this was more than she’d understood.
“I committed such sins when I tried to navigate too much on my own,” I rasped as the past assaulted me. I quickly wiped my eyes and cleared my throat. “I don’t want to make new mistakes with Creed on stuff this time.”
