It was driving Xias insane.
Small needy sounds of protest fell from his lips as he tried to thrust back against Zhuang and get more of the man’s cock into his ass. But Zhuang was having none of that. He kept a firm hold of Xias’s hips, guiding Xias as he wanted him to move.
“Zhuang, please!” Xias finally wailed, so desperate to have Zhuang fill him the rest of the way that he would have given up just about anything in that instant.
“That’s the sound I was waiting for,” Zhuang said just before his claws dug into Xias’s hips and he thrust forward, burying himself inside of Xias’s ass to the hilt.
Xias cried out and let his body go limp, allowing Zhuang to move him any damn way he wanted. He doubted Zhuang was even aware of the fact that his claws had emerged and were digging into Xias’s hips, but Xias was.
The hint of pain mingled with overwhelming pleasure was enough to send Xias right over the edge. He screamed when his cock erupted again and cum splattered over his chest and abdomen.
Zhuang gasped as he stared down at him. “Fuck, baby.”
Xias suddenly had his knees up by his ears as Zhuang practically folded him in half and started pounding into him as if he couldn’t help himself. Xias wrapped his legs around Zhuang’s upper back and held on for the ride.
And what a wild ride it was. Whatever hold Zhuang had on his cat was lost as the man moved harder and faster, driving his cock in and out of Xias’s ass at a ferocious rate of speed.
When Xias saw Zhuang’s blue eyes darken and fangs extended from his gums, he knew the time had come for the man to claim him again.
“Zhuang,” Xias called out softly as he tilted his head back and to one side. He needed their bond to be unbreakable.
Zhuang roared and struck. Xias winced as Zhuang’s sharp fangs sank into his throat over the meaty part of his shoulder. As Zhuang sucked, the cock in Xias’s ass thickened, locking Zhuang in place.
Zhuang howled his release, but refused to release the flesh in his mouth. His hips thrust forward and stilled as his cock pulsed inside of Xias. Xias shuddered as he felt copious amounts of hot cum fill his ass.
After several long moments, Zhuang retracted his teeth and licked at the bite mark on Xias’s shoulder. Xias stroked his hands over Zhuang’s sweat-slickened back. When Zhuang lifted his head and smiled down at him, Xias grinned and curved his hand around the side of Zhuang’s face.
“Are you rested now?”
Zhuang chuckled. “I’m more relaxed, if that’s what you mean.”
That would work.
After another few minutes, the knot receded and Zhuang pulled out and rolled to the side, then tugged Xias up close to his chest. Zhuang’s finger traced over the side of Xias’s face. “Close your eyes, baby. I’ll watch over you.”
Xias’s eyelids started to droop as his exhaustion made itself known. He wished he could stay right where he was for the rest of his life. He felt safe for the first time in forever. He sighed as he settled deeper against Zhuang and allowed sleep to take him away.
Something crashing outside the door jerked him awake.
Chapter Six
Zhuang wrapped his arms around Xias and rolled him off the cot. He held his finger up to his lips before gesturing for Xias to get the cubs. Xias raced over and grabbed the box, then carried it back. Zhuang helped Xias slide the box under the cot, then pushed Xias under it. He pulled the blanket down to hang over the edge of the cot, hopefully hiding all view of them.
Drawing in a deep breath, Zhuang moved between his mate and cubs and whoever was stupid enough to come into the ranger’s shack. He shifted and then crouched, ready to defend his family against any intruder.
He didn’t understand how Xias’s former alpha could have found them so quickly. The man should have still been healing. Of course, he could have sent enforcers to track them down. That was always a possibility.
A dark shadow filled the doorway. “Zhuang, man, it’s me.”
Zhuang waited until the shadowy form took shape before shifting. “Tao?”
“Hey, man.” The guy grinned as he pulled his stocking cap off and then gestured over his shoulder. “I brought the CAT. Wasn’t sure if you were still here or not, but I figured if you were, you’d appreciate a ride out.”
Fuck! A snow CAT.
Zhuang’s heart beat a little faster, a renewed hope springing to life. “What size CAT did you bring?”
Tao’s black eyebrows lifted. “Does it matter?”
