She didn’t know what she was doing, but he seemed to be enjoying himself, so she continued doing what she wanted.His precum tasted salty and hot, so she lapped up as much as she could.When she put her hands around his cock, he came up off the bed so quickly that he startled her, and all she could do was watch as his cock seemed to pulsate.Pushing him back down, she was happy to see that he was sweating.She’d never realized that foreplay could be so exhausting when you were having so much fun.
Putting her mouth over him again, she traced her tongue around the crown as she fucked him with her mouth.As he began to fuck her too, sliding in and out of her mouth, she nearly gagged when he got too close to her throat.But when she swallowed, and he went past the tightness of her throat, she nearly screamed when he fucked her harder.Christ.Nothing had ever felt this good when she’d had sex before.When he pulled free, she nearly cried out for him to go back when he fisted his own cock and came all over her mouth and face.
Nothing could have prepared her for the climax that she had while he was coming on her.She screamed out loud, rubbing his cream and juices over her body as she came a second, then a third time.Before she could gather her wits about her and tell him how much she loved him, she found herself airborne and landing on the bed, lying on her belly.As soon as the bed moved, she felt the jeans she’d had on being ripped from her body and his hands all over her ass.When he kissed her there, she nearly came again; her body was on fire for him, and she wanted him now.
With his cock at her entrance, she held her breath for what he’d do to her now.As soon as she slammed forward, causing her to be dizzy with the need that suddenly punched her in the gut, she held on tightly as he fucked her from behind.When he reached under her and grabbed her breast, she cried out with pain and pleasure and begged him for more.He gave it to her and so much more than she’d ever experienced before.
“I’m going to bite you.”Her body gushed with cream, she could feel it dripping down her thighs.“When I do, I’m going to mark you as mine, and you’ll love it.Magic will come to you, too.”
“I don’t care.Just do it.”She felt his tongue, rough and long, slide along her shoulder until he got to her neck.When he licked her again, scraping his teeth along the area, she braced herself for what she knew was coming and screamed until she passed out when he sank his teeth into her flesh.She could have only been out for a few seconds because he was still fucking her hard when she woke.The pain was still there, but not nearly as bad as she thought it would be.
Just as she was going to beg him to let her come, he slid his hand down her body to her pussy and pressed hard against her clit.Her entire body came apart, and she snapped out in the darkness, sure never to be the same again.
When she woke up, she was in the middle of the bed and alone.While trying to move, just to sit up, she hurt in more places than she thought possible.Ivan was just coming out of the bathroom when she was finally sitting up.She smiled back at him when he smiled at her.
“Are you all right?”She nodded, then realized how much that hurt, and told him no, she wasn’t.“Neither am I.I didn’t think I was going to be able to make it to the bathroom just now.I don’t know how this usually works, but you must have gotten your magic while you were out.Scared me a bit when you started crying about the pain.I’m glad that I knew you’d get it, or I might have called someone to come and see about you.While I don’t know what it is that you can do with it now, I just know that you got it.”
When he climbed into bed with her, she nearly begged him not to touch her.Every part of her body was sore, and she was sure that when she got up to use the bathroom, she was going to be sobbing.Even to wiggle her toes hurt her.She wondered if they made love like that all the time, if she’d be able to survive it.She didn’t believe so.
Sen finally had to get up and go to the bathroom.On her way there, she told herself that she wasn’t going to cry like a little baby.Sitting on the commode, she did let a few tears fall because she couldn’t believe how sore she was, but making her way back to the bed, she did feel better like moving around wasn’t so bad as it had been before.
Climbing into the bed with Ivan, she noticed that he was already asleep.Trying not to disturb him too much, she got in and stayed on her side of the big bed.Almost as if he knew that she was cold, he pulled her into his arms and held her.That was all it took for her to know she was safe and sound and loved.Curling her body around his, she laid her head on his chest and could hear his heart beating.It was so calming to hear it that she found herself drifting off.Sen had never in her life felt as secure as she did right now and wondered if he really would lay down his life for her if the time came.
However, she didn’t know what she’d do without him, so she hoped that never happened.She was deeply in love with the man who had not only taken her heart but her body as well.Sen would love him forever, and she knew that he’d love her too.

Ivan watched the dog’s breathing and counted the heartbeats.Her name was Sophie, and she was dying.It broke his heart that such a well-loved dog was suffering so much, but the family wanted towait on the younger boy, the one who loved her the most, to be there when she took her last breath.It was hard on the others to watch her suffer, but he knew too that she’d want to have her best friend there with her when she passed on.As soon as she wagged her tail, though slowly, he knew that she was smelling her human friend.
“Oh, Sophie.”The boy hugged her, and when her heart rate went up, he knew that it was a sort of false hope for her to make it.But she was old.Nearly twenty years old and well past her prime.“Hey, girl.How you doing?”
The boy was far from being a child, so he explained to him that her heart was giving out and that she was just exhausted from living for as long as she had.He told him that he didn’t think she was suffering very much, but she was in pain.When he’d tried to touch her belly, she cried out like he’d hurt her.
“Can you give her something for the pain?I don’t want her to suffer at all.She’s always been there for me since I was five years old.”He said he could give her something for it, but he wasn’t sure that it would bring her to the end faster.“I’m here with her now.Just make it so that she’s not in pain.I don’t think I could stand myself if I were to allow her to hurt like she is.She’s my best friend.And as much as I’d like to keep her around, I knew this day was coming.”
Ivan did what they asked, and he could hear her heart slowing down more.She was tired, and it broke his heart that she was going to die today.Almost as soon as he gave her the injection, the young man said he wanted to stay with her until the end.Handing him the stethoscope so that he could hear her heartbeat, the sign of love if he’d ever heard of, he left them in the room.
As if all the other animals in the waiting room knew that Sophie was drawing to the end, they were quiet and subdued.He didn’t want to be busy with another patient when Sophie drew in her last breath, so he asked his nurses if they could set up the next patient.Almost as soon as he thought that he could go in and give shots to his next dog, the young man came out of the room and said she was gone.Ivan felt his own eyes fill with tears as he thought about the young man and his lost friend.
They made arrangements to have her body cremated.Since he had a place where he was going to bury the cremains, he made arrangements to have them shipped directly to the home of the young man.He said he was going to bury them under their favorite tree, and that was where he’d go when he wanted to talk to her.Ivan had a feeling that the young man would be going there daily for a while and then less as the pain went away.But he’d never forget the dog nor any of the time that they spent together as best friends.
The rest of the day went as usual.He had three kittens that he needed to give shots to, so that was something.The family was going to give the kittens away, and he was glad that they were getting them the first set of shots.It would make it easier on the family that took them, knowing that.He also set up a file for the three of them so that if they brought the kittens back in for the rest of their shots, he’d have a file all ready to go.Ivan didn’t have names yet, but he knew that he’d remember the files when they did come in.
By the time he was ready to close up for the day, he’d seen twenty-two patients.It was a record for him, and he didn’t mind.There had been three more litters of cats brought in to be checked out and a litter of puppies that had been born in his office.He loved it when he could deliver babies into the world.He was sure it was much like the doctors who treated people when they had one to deliver.However, his came in groups and that made it all that much more fun for him.Momma and the babies were doing fine, too.
As he started his walk home, he couldn’t believe the weather.It had turned warm overnight and had continued during the day.It was a balmy seventy-three degrees today, and he loved it.He was a spring and fall sort of person, but loved the other two seasons as well.Letting himself into his condo, he was surprised to see Sen there as she said that she was going to go shopping for some things that she needed for the other house.The one she’d gotten from her uncle and aunt.
“I can’t stand to be there.It’s not the house that is making me crazy, but all the memories that I have there.And my goodness, do I have a lot of them.”She held onto him while she told him of all thetimes that she’d been there and how much she’d loved it.“All I can think about when I’m there is how much I miss them both and wish they were still around.I want a different house, one that you and I can make our own memories in.Is that all right with you?”
“Whatever you want is good with me.I do have a couple of more houses that we can look at when we go out tonight.Did you eat a late lunch like we said we’d do?That way we can get dinner afterwards.”She said that she’d eaten lunch at three this afternoon.“That’s when I had lunch too, so we should be fine.I’ll change, and we’ll get going.”
He loved how much they seemed to fit with one another.She’d made up the bed in his room and had also cleaned up the kitchen.He would have done it, but they’d both overslept this morning, and he’d been a little too sore to move around that much.As the day went on, he got around better, but he’d bet anything that if they made love like that again, he wasn’t going to move for a month.He’d been that sore all over his body, including his hair.He was about to ask her when she turned to him with a huge smile on her face.
“What’s going on?”She said that she’d only just realized that she loved him again.“I’m glad to hear that.I love you as well.”
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.It was such a simple word, a kiss, but it meant so much more than that.He could kiss her all day and not get enough of her, and he knew that she felt the same way, as she’d told him that just this morning.Having a mate was a good deal better than he thought it would be, and he was so glad that Devlin had talked him into going with him when he’d met her for dinner.
They went to the first house on the list and were disappointed.For the area the house was in, it was small and had too many things wrong with it.Not only did it need to have the kitchen redone, which most houses needed, but it also had worn-out old carpet that had holes worn it in all over the house.They talked about carpet, and neither of them liked it in their home.That was good.Ivan thought that if your feet got cold, you should put on socks.It’s what he wore all winter long when he was at home by himself.
