“She must’ve known you would’ve died trying. She wanted to save you. I’m sure it gave her great comfort that you lived.”
I was quiet for a long time. Crickets began their slow, mournful throb. Emberflies filtered in around us. An owl hooted somewhere overhead.
“If I think about it,” I finally ventured, “I know that you’re right. I did as she said, and I cherish her memory because I know that’s what she would’ve wanted. But when I think of that scared little girl that left her mommy to die?—”
His arms constricted around me. “Let’s forget our situation for the moment. What can I do? How can I help?”
“Make love to me. Give me a distraction to help pull me out of the darkness.”
I’d said it before I’d thought about it, and then fell into it once I had. He wasted no time, but he wasn’t fervent like before. He kissed me deeply, standing with me to remove my clothing and then his own. His movements weren’t frenzied or stormy but slow and gentle, methodical. Comforting. He pulled me with him as he walked backward, our lips devouring each other, the feel of his body stealing my focus until all I knew was him, his taste, the feel of his embrace. He settled in a soft, mossy spot without breaking our kiss, directing my thighs to either side of his. He ran his cock along my wetness before wrapping me in his arms and pulling me down onto him.
His groan matched my own, the sensations heaven. Without regret, without thinking about my oath to stay away from him or what I might feel about our situation tomorrow, I began rocking my hips over him, taking him deep and then stroking back. His breath became labored, his hands all over me, mine on him. The base of his cock began to swell, butting up against me.
“Do you want it, Little Wolf?” he murmured against my lips, his tone tender.
“Yes.” It wasn’t even a question.
I ground down onto him while working my clit. He growled, his teeth raking up the side of my neck and his lips stopping at the shell of my ear.
“Mine,” he said possessively, pulling down on my shoulders as he lifted his hips, fucking his knot into me.
Tingles worked up my spine as he continued to swell, his movements different now, grinding it deeper, locking us together. Being so new to his size meant an inkling of pain still registered along the edges of my awareness, but I didn’t care. I was so wet it dribbled down between us.
“That’s right, baby,” he groaned, holding me tightly so that I couldn’t get away. One of his hands fisted in my hair, his teeth raked my neck again. “Take it. Take your alpha’s knot and keep all my cum locked deep inside of you like a good girl.”
Holy fuck, I loved when he talked dirty.
“Fuck it into me,” I moaned, joining in, throwing my head back. “Mark me as you fuck it into me.”
The sensations expanded as he did, overwhelming me. He adjusted so that he was on his knees, my legs around his waist, my arms around his shoulders. He rolled his hips and twisted me, his cock deep, his teeth at my neck. His arms still held me, his strength and power wrapped around me possessively, his hold firm but gentle.
“Do you like when I fuck that sweet little pussy?” The language sent me spiraling.
“Yes,” I groaned, moving on him with abandon. “Please . . . almost . . . there . . .”
His movements were small but so fucking perfect. I kept building, so high I started gyrating wildly. A flash of pain stole my breath and he crushed me to him, one hand on my ass and the other tangled in my hair—keeping me from hurting myself by pulling away. The swell of his cock had trapped me on his dick. Even if I’d wanted to escape, I wouldn’t have been able to. I was completely at his mercy. For some reason that made me vibrate with indescribable pleasure.
“Please . . . I need . . . to come,” I panted through labored breaths.
His lips were near my ear, my body in his control. He relieved one hand from my back and circled my clit with his fingers before giving it a sharp tug.
“Holy—” I cried out as I shuddered against him. My pussy tightened around his cock with the waves of my climax anda moment later he groaned, filling me with heat like he’d promised.
The thought made me start building again, wanting my alpha’s seed lodged deep, the need primal and maybe a little nasty but fucking delicious at the same time. I’d never been talked to like this, or pumped and gyrated so hard just to hear the wet sounds of sex we made. It was perfection, consuming.
“That’s right, baby,” he said as I neared another orgasm. “Use me. Think about nothing else but this. Get lost in the moment.”
Feeling grateful, I did exactly that. When the next orgasm came, I rode it with exquisite shudders, then did the same with the next, his knot pulsing all the while. The swell didn’t diminish as I worked, his body holding strong during my need.
By the time I’d exhausted myself, full night had settled around us. His dick still lay huge and heavy within me, but the pulse had slowed. He held me tightly, leaning back against a trunk so that I could lay across his chest.
Emberflies drifted around us, more than I’d ever seen. Their lazy movement through the air was mesmerizing. Ethereal.
“How long can you stay like this?” I asked, my eyelids heavy, his warmth radiating around me.
“As long as you need.”
“No, I mean your cock. How long will it... lock us together?”
