“Because I'm not yours.”
Falken flinched as if I'd struck him.
“Then whose are you?”
“My own. But that's not what I meant. I'm not your mate.”
He let out an annoyed huff. “You don't know that.”
“It's been long enough—”
With a roar, the King shot out of his chair and lifted me into his arms. Holding me tightly, as if I might fight him, hestrode into the bedroom. “If I have to mate you to get you to stay, I will.”
I gaped at him. “You can't mate me at will.”
“Yes, I can.” His expression hardened as he lay me on the bed and removed my boots. “I'm going to make love to you until the magic rises. If we have to stay in bed for weeks, so be it. I know you're mine. I can feel it! I've known since the first time we had sex.”
I scrambled back. “I am not something you can own.”
“Ugh!” He made a frustrated gesture with his hands. “Just stop, Sevi! You just said you wanted to leave because you're not mine. You understand the difference, so stop using it as a shield. I'm not trying to own you. I'm trying to love you!”
We stared at each other in silence, Fen looming above me. And then he pulled off his boots.
“Fen, I—”
“Take off your clothes.”
“This won't work.”
“Take off your clothes, Sevi!”
With trembling hands and an eagerly twitching tail, I removed my clothing. Fen was faster and fell upon me, removing my pants even as I reached for the waistband. Growling, he grabbed a bottle of oil, and I prepared myself for a primal fucking. Not that it scared me. I loved getting savage in bed.
But that's not what happened.
After pouring some oil into his palm, he coated his cock, and then he coated mine. I frowned up at him even as I shuddered from the pleasure of his touch.
“I want you to mount me.” Fen lifted his chin as if I might deny him.
“You do?” I sat up. “Are you sure? If you're doing this to make me stay, I don't need it. I'm happy receiving.”
“I'm doing this because I want to.” He lay down on his belly beside me. “If I don't like it, I'll tell you to stop.”
“All right,” I whispered, and then moved to kneel between his thighs. “But we're doing this my way.”
I took the bottle of oil and laid it on the bed beside me. First, I needed to relax him. Hands firm, I rubbed the pert globes of his ass. Sighing, Fen glanced at me over his broad shoulder. He had his arms folded beneath him and looked incredible, all that muscled flesh waiting for me to explore. I remembered my first time receiving. My lover had been experienced and knew how to ease me into it. I would do the same for Fen.
“Spread your legs a little wider and put a pillow under your hips.”
Fen looked at me again, his eyebrows high. But then he rolled onto his side, cock bobbing, and pulled a pillow beneath him. With a soft sigh, he lay down and spread his thighs. The pillow lifted his ass into the perfect position, his sacs hanging below, plump and lightly furred. Below them, his swollen cock pressed into the pillow. I ran a finger up the bottom of it and then massaged his sacs.
Fen groaned. “I've never been in this position before. It's comfortable.”
“Good. You're going to be like that for a while.” I bent to kiss and nibble his ass cheeks as I stroked his cock.
“Be careful, or you'll make me come.”
“That's fine.” I nipped his cheek again. “I don't need you hard to fuck you.”
