“Okay, how about some rice and broth?”
“Perfect,” Leo says, smiling at me. “I like that you’re taking care of me.”
“I like it too,” I say, giving him a quick kiss before crawling out of the nest. “I’ll be right back.”
As I walk to the kitchen, I feel lighter than I have in days. I’m determined to make this heat as good for Leo as I can, starting by feeding him.
Chapter Ten
Leo
The last day anda half have been the most blissful experience. Jin and I have spent all that time in my nest, only leaving to have food and use the bathroom. Our scents permeate the air, covering every bit of my nest and our skin.
My body is finally ready, finally preparing to go into my full heat. This will be my first real mating heat and as much as I was nervous before, all I can feel is excitement now.
Jin has been the most amazing heat partner. He’s taken care of me, touched me gently, rubbed my back when my stomach cramps, and kissed me more times than I can count. It was while he spoon fed me rice and broth that I explained what’s going to happen during my mating heat.
Jin took it all in stride, promising to make me feel good. He promised to bite me on my shoulder when the time is right andgave me permission to do the same. By the time this heat is over, we will be bonded mates.
Even just thinking about having Jin’s mating bite indented into my skin leaves me feeling like I’m floating on the clouds. Jin is my very own sunshine. My life felt so gray before he came stumbling in, lighting me up from the inside out. I feel so lucky to know him and somehow, he’s delighted to know me too.
Maybe Andras was right. Maybe I really am the main character of a romance anime. Or maybe that’s just the heat brain talking again.
Right now, Jin is spooned behind me, our body touching from shoulder to knee. His arm is wrapped around me, his thumb passing over my sternum. The pattern is downright maddening. I can feel my body heating, just from that simple touch. My skin is growing hotter by the minute, my mind drifting to thoughts of hips against hips, hands gripping, mouths moving, slick dripping.
Warm tingles run over my skin, making me shiver. Jin seems to notice this because he runs his nose over the back of my neck before pulling the blanket up higher, making sure all of me is covered. That soft care only serves to make my body feel even more ready for him. There’s something incredibly arousing about knowing my mate is here, willing to take care of me. He’s so bright and somehow, his brightness has shined on me. I’m honored and feel so freaking loved.
I feel like I’m sunbathing but instead of the warmth and brightness coming from the sky, it’s coming from the man I’ll soon be calling my mate.
“Jin,” I whisper, scooching my butt backwards. I’m already pressed against his front so this just ends up with me rubbing my ass against his groin. It’s not what I meant to do but fuck, it feels so good that I’m not mad.
We exchanged handjobs while making out but haven’t gone further than that in my nest. I’m ready for more. I’m ready forso muchmore. I want all of him. I want him inside me.
The thought of feeling his cock inside my ass has me breathless, a little moan leaving my throat against my permission. My head is swimming in a cocktail of hormones. It’s getting harder to think about anything that’s not Jin.
“Jin,” I say again, this time a little bit louder. Jin’s arm tightens around my front, his face buried against the back of my head.
“I’m here,” Jin says against the skin at the back of my neck, my body shivering at the feel of his warm breath. My skin pebbles with goosebumps, my body lighting up with warmth just under my skin. I didn’t even notice how turned on I am until right now, my cock hard, my ass slicking.
Heat. I’m officially in heat. It swelters and washes over me in waves.
“I need you.”
“You have me,” Jin tells me, his voice so serious yet there’s still that lightness I’m used to. Even now, he’s my sunshine.
Taking his wrist, I guide his left hand down and behind myself. Jin adjusts, pulling his hips back to make room for his hand. Then he dips his hand between my cheeks and I gasp at feeling him there, where only my own fingers have touched.
“I want to make you feel good,” Jin breathes out as his finger swirls around my wet hole, sliding the slick around my rim. “I wanna be good for you, Leo.”
He presses in, my slick making the slide easy. My body feels like it’s on fire and the only thing stopping my heat from consuming me is Jin’s touch.
“You are,” I say with a gasp. “You’re making me feel so good already.”
Jin pulls his finger out, replacing it with two, slowly stretching me open. He slots his right arm under my head and I turn, biting into his bicep as he fingers me, overwhelmed by how good it feels to have someone else’s hands touching me instead of my own. This goes beyond anything I’ve felt before and I’m so happy it’sJinwho’s here with me.
Everything feels foreign and new, but so fuckinggood.
“Another,” I say against his arm. “I can take it. Give me another.”
