She gripped me as though she were afraid I would disappear. I wanted to rip off her t-shirt to see her fully, but I refused to let go of her for even a second. Instead, I tightened my hold and shifted so her back was pressed against the cabin.
“I’ve been yours before the universe ever dreamed of us,” I murmured.
“I love you,” she breathed, pulling me in for a kiss and letting out a small whine.
The sound went straight through me—I could feel how fast my heart was beating as I thrust my hardness against her soft stomach. Her slick drenched the front of my sweatpants and I fucking loved it. My body’s reaction to her was instinctual, but our connection was so much more than that. She held my whole being. Everything I was belonged to her.
“You’re so goddamn perfect,” I groaned. “You’re going to give me exactly what I want, aren’t you, love?”
“Yes, yes,” she gasped, reaching down to free my cock from the sweatpants.
I shuddered at the touch of her fingers down my length. I pressed my face into the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent. I was overcome with emotion at the feel of her skin against mine. I never thought I’d get to experience this again.
“I thought of you every single waking moment. I thought I would lose my mind being locked away like that, and it just confirmed what a fighter you are for surviving that for so long. The bravest, most courageous, strongest person I know,” I murmured into her ear.
“Even though Glen told me you were dead, I think part of me knew you had to be alive. I heard your voice in my head. It was like I could still feel your love, even though we were separated.”
My heart was filled to bursting as she notched my cock at her entrance and I slowly pushed in. Our eyes were locked together, and I watched her pupils dilate as her breath skated across my skin. She gripped the back of my head, holding me to her.
The feel of her was better than anything in my memory. She was here, vibrant and looking at me like I was the most important thing in the world to her right now.
She pushed her hips against mine, signaling that I should move. I shifted her up in my arms to get better leverage as I thrust into her.
“Fuck, fuck. That piercing.Ohmygod.”
I grinned. “Does that feel good, love? You’re so fucking beautiful. Look at you taking my cock so well. I could watch you stretched around me all fucking day.”
“Need your knot,” she gasped.
I ground my knot against her clit until her slick dripped down her thighs. She was practically sobbing now, flexing her legs to pull me deeper. I finally obliged, pulling out almost all the way before thrusting in, pushing my swollen knot firmly inside. She screamed as she came, her pussy pulsing around me. I looked down at where we were joined, seeing how obscenely she was spread.
“I want us to bond at the same time,” I gritted out, leaving out that I’d read multiple papers that suggested simultaneous bonding led to euphoric orgasms.
She met my gaze and nodded, running her hand down my jaw before nuzzling at my neck. She pressed her lips down on my collarbone, her tongue licking at my skin. I lifted her hand to my mouth, and we both bit down.
There was a flash of pain, but then my orgasm swept over me, so intense my legs almost buckled and I had to press my hand to the side of the cabin to keep my balance. Her pussy squeezed my cock harder than I could have imagined. It was fucking bliss.
And then I felt her in my very soul.
She was brightness and life as she wrapped around my anxieties and insecurities. I’d read so many first-hand accounts of what it was like to be bonded, but no words would ever be enough to capture this experience.
“I love you,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face. I leaned in and kissed them away.
“More than anything,” I said, hugging her to me.
I thrust my knot into her again, rocking with a gentle rhythm until we both came again. We were both panting, our skin hot and flushed in the cool air.
“Oh god, your arms must be getting tired,” Josie said, and I could feel her embarrassment and concern through the bond. I pushed as much love and affection back at her as I could, and I knew she could feel it when her eyes widened and she giggled.
“They’re not tired at all,” I said, bouncing her up and down.
She squealed, clinging to me.
“Must be your magical slick giving me energy,” I mused, half joking but also wondering if there was some truth to it. I shouldn’t feel this strong and energized after weeks in a jail cell. “But we should get inside, anyway.” I didn’t want to risk her getting cold, and I was giddy to show off my bond mark to my brothers.
I carried her back to the front of the cabin, but every step I took pressed her against my knot, building our pleasure. Her eyes were shut tight as she clung to me, her soft whimpers filling my ear. I pushed the door open and then had to grip the doorframe as we both came again.
“That’s one way to make an entrance,” Ben said, eyes filled with mirth as he clasped me on the shoulder. “Also, how come Theo gets to knot you outside?” he added with feigned indignation. Josie grinned as I gently maneuvered us into the bed.
