“Okay what?” She frowned.
“I will save you from this terrible tradition being forced upon you. I like you. I will mate you.”
She looked at him for a few long seconds, waiting for him to laugh or, to say something else. Something that would make that statement make more sense. He didn’t. Obsidian remained completely deadpan. His chestnut eyes staying firmly on her. Demi felt her jaw drop open.
“Why the shock? We are good…together.”
She shook her head, sending her hair flying about her face. “We had decent sex…sure but…I mean…there is more to a relationship.”
“Not really. I will provide for you in all ways. If you are already mated to me, they can’t force you into anything.”
“Let’s just say I was to agree. It wouldn’t solve anything. There could still be war between the wolves and the bears of Vale Creek and, as my father likes to say, it will be on me if that happens.”
“It won’t happen.” He shook his head, looking deadly serious.
“How can you be so sure?”
“I will beat any who try to start shit.”
She chuckled, believing him. “That sounds like a good plan.”
“It’s a perfect plan. I will make you happy…there will be plenty of screaming coming from our chamber. Not screams of anger,” he quickly set the record straight.
She snorted out a laugh. “I figured that much. As tempted as I am, I’m going to have to decline.” She took his hand, squeezing it once before letting go. “You are beyond sweet to offer.”
His eyes dipped to her mouth, then to her neck. Her heart picked up speed, she was sure the pulse at the base of her neck must be jumping. “What?” she asked.
“I would like to try to convince you,” he cleared his throat, “to change your mind about me. About us.”
“How do you plan on doing that?”
He smiled for a second time since she had met him. By claw but it did things to her insides. These dimples ‒ appeared one in each cheek. They softened his otherwise hard features. Making him even more handsome. “I would like to rut you again, for a start.”
She folded her arms and barked out a laugh. “I’m sure you would.”
“Only to show you how compatible we could be together.”
“I think I might already have an inkling of that.”
“No, you don’t.” He flashed her another half-smile. One she felt between her legs. “I’d hunt for you…build a shelter. We could…get to know one another.” He cleared his throat again. “Sorry, I haven’t talked this much in years.”
“I’m honored.”
“You should be,” he stated. A fact. Not to sugarcoat anything. Not to be charming. Pure fact. “I want you, Demi.” So darned serious. It was sexy on him.
“Believe it or not,” she smiled up at him, “I’m tempted. Very tempted ‒ which says a lot about my mental state. I can’t though.” She shook her head.
“You can.”
“I really can’t.” She shook her head. “My family is worried about me. They will be able to scent…what happened between us. I’m sure that was them back there. Cody will be angry. He will see it as a slight, I am sure.”
“It was four wolves and three bears.”
“Shit! So many?” She pushed out a solid breath. She had been hopeful that her time with Obsidian could be kept under wraps. She didn’t love Cody in that way, but he was a good male. She was going to hate seeing him hurt. Seeing the rumors spread around the pack. Nothing had been officially announced about the two of them, but everyone knew what the logical next step was. “They’ll know what we did,” she muttered, more to herself.
“What happened was perfectly natural. They will be able to scent that you don’t want that male…Cody.” He growled his name. “That you had a good time with me.”
“The bears will see it as a slight. My father will see it as a betrayal. Cody…” She chewed on her lip for a second. “He might be hurt. He doesn’t love me ‒ I actually think he is trying to use me to replace Brie ‒ but still…he would be upset by it.”
“I’m glad it happened. I loved every second.” His face grew pinched. “I’m not apologizing. Neither should you.”
“I loved every second too.” Shit! Now she was making it out as if she wanted to undo the last few hours. It wasn’t true though. Not even close.
“The thing I can’t get out of my mind is your reaction when you knew they were coming. I see it as a cry for help. I am here to help you.” He cupped her jaw.
“Thank you.” She took his other hand, marveling at how big and warm it was. “I appreciate it.”
“We’re compatible. I think we could—”
“We are not meant to be, Obsidian. I’m sorry but that’s the way it is.” She wished things could be different. She wouldn’t rush into a mating but there was something there. She liked this dragon. Was very attracted to him. It didn’t mean she could forget her life though. Or her family and people. It didn’t work like that.
“You don’t want that male.” His voice was a rough rasp.
“It doesn’t matter. I have responsibilities. I need to go back and do damage control but first, I’m going to take you up on at least part of your offer.” She was in huge shit already, may as well make it worth it. She was going to have to mate Cody in the coming weeks. They would be expected to consummate the mating. She would have to bear young. His young. Demi put her arms around Obsidian’s neck. It wasn’t something she wanted to think about right then though. “Please, I want you again. One last time.” A memory that would have to last her a lifetime.
His jaw was tense. His eyes hard. “Before you are forced to be with some male you—”
“I don’t want to talk about any of that anymore. This started as two people attracted to one another. As—”
“Actually, it started as you being terrified of me.” He smiled.
“Crazy since you’re such a big softy.” She reached up on her tippy toes and kissed him gently on the lips.
“Do wolves do that? Is it normal?”
“What?” She narrowed her eyes. “Kissing?”
He nodded.
“I guess it’s more of a human thing, but we’ve become humanized in recent years. Our males have started taking humans as mates due to a shortage of females. All of the species seem to have the problem.”
He nodded. “We have the same problem.”
“You haven’t taken a human though?”
Obsidian shook his head. “They are too timid. I think I might prefer wolves.”
She giggled.
“About that kiss you were asking about.” He looked down at her lips and her heart did this flip flop thing. “Do you like doing it?”
“What, kissing?”
Obsidian nodded.
“Don’t you?” she asked.
“You are the first female to ever…”
She gasped. “You’ve never been kissed.”
He shrugged. “I have.”
Demi felt disappointment, which was stupid and yet, there it was. She had wanted to be his first. So stupid, since after today, they would never see each other again.
“You kissed me. That was the third time.” Those frown lines were back. He got them every time he was overthinking something.
Oh. Ohhhh! So, she was his first then. Demi smiled. “That was nothing. How about this?” She slanted her lips over his and then opened her mouth a little, licked her tongue against the seam of his lips.
Nothing.
She cracked her eyes open a little, only to find that his eyes were still open. He was still frowning. “Don’t you like it?”
“I do, but I’m not sure…” He shrugged his big shoulders. She could tell that he didn’t know what to do.
“Our lips touch and then we tangle our tongues together.” She giggled at how silly it sounded. “You’ll like it. I think. You want to try again?”
Instead of answering, he hooked an arm around her waist and pulled
her in, sliding his mouth over hers. This time when she pushed her tongue against his lips, his mouth opened. Then they were all lips and tongues. It didn’t take Obsidian long to get the hang of it. For him to change angles. For his other hand to thread into the hair on the back of her head. He groaned as he released her.
“How was it?” she asked.
“It makes me want to fuck you.”
She laughed. He certainly didn’t mince his words. “It’s designed to get a person hot and bothered.”
“I’m hot, hard and bothered.”
She laughed some more. “Let’s take care of that then.” She gripped his cock in her hand and Obsidian hissed.
He squeezed his eyes closed for a moment. When they opened, they had a look that could easily be mistaken for rage. Obsidian was frowning heavily. Thankfully, it was lust and not anger. She’d hate to be on the receiving end of the other emotion. That was for sure.
His cock twitched in her hand when she gave it a tug.
This time, Obsidian clenched his teeth and growled. Hell’s teeth but he was sexy. He kissed her for a second or two…hot and heavy, and then buried his face in her neck, raking his teeth across her skin. A punch of need hit her in the pit of her stomach.
Obsidian picked her up and took a few steps towards the forest before putting her down on her ass on a softer patch of ground. He kneeled in front of her, leaning in and capturing one of her nipples in his hot mouth. Her head fell back as he swirled his tongue around her tight nub.
Demi groaned.
He kissed her belly and then…she all out groaned when he placed a kiss on her clit. Obsidian gripped her thighs firmly in his big hands and lifted them as he closed his mouth over her clit. Her mouth fell open. Using firm strokes of his tongue, he laved her until she was panting.
Demi thread her fingers into his hair. She moaned as his tongue breached her pussy. Moaned even harder when his mouth moved back to her clit where he suckled her. His head bobbed up and down. The sensation was amazing. He let one of her thighs go, Demi hooked her leg over his shoulder, crying out when he thrust his finger into her. Even his hands were big, which meant his fingers…she yelled a second time, louder since he had crooked his finger inside her. Her eyes widened as he picked up the pace. He was rubbing on that spot inside her. His mouth… Holy hell! Her orgasm hit her like a punch. Fast and hard. Demi growled low before making a sharp keening noise. Obsidian kept fingering her. His mouth kept working her until she was spent.
“Want you,” he groaned. His voice laced with need. It made her ache for more, even though she’d just had an orgasm that rivaled any she’d had to date.
Demi was still struggling to catch her breath when he flipped her onto her knees, his hand moving to her belly.
She remembered him saying he had never taken a female on her back before. What was the chance that any other position, other than this one, would be new to him? “Wait.” She looked back at him over her shoulder, catching his frown.
Demi wanted to give him something to remember. For some odd reason it was important to her that he never forget her, or their one night together.
Chapter 6
Obsidian had his hands on her hips. He’d been ready to take her. His eyes were on her glistening pussy.
“Wait,” the wolf said, a hint of urgency in her voice.
His eyes moved to hers as she looked back at him over her shoulder. He didn’t trust himself to speak just then. His voice would barely be human.
“I’d like to try something.” She turned around, facing him on her haunches. Demi laughed, he loved the way she looked when she did that. Carefree. Like she didn’t have a worry in the world. He wished that was true. Wished even harder that she would let him help her. “Don’t look so nervous. Sit on your ass.”
Obsidian glanced down at himself. He was on his knees. His cock jutting from his body. His head glistened with seed. His sac had pulled tight with need. “My ass?” A deep, hard growl that would have had any human running.
Not this wolf. She grinned at him. So fucking sexy that he almost came right then. “Sit…yes…on your ass.” She quirked up a brow. “Do it.” She licked her lips. “Now.”
No one had ever told him what to do before. Especially during sex. It was normally a quick coupling, over almost before it began. Obsidian did as she asked. He would do just about anything this female told him to do. As long as she let him inside her body one last time.
One.
Last.
Time.
Why did that thought aggravate him? It made his dragon edgy. His scales rub beneath his skin. Then she was straddling him, her small hands on his chest. Her big, dark eyes on his. She was biting on her plump lower lip. Her hard nipples rubbing up against him as she lifted up.
She gave him this wicked smile and then licked the palm of her hand. A wolf in human skin. Had anything been more attractive to him? Weird! Fucking insane.
No.
This was it, the single most sexy thing he had ever seen. Using the same hand, she fisted his cock. Obsidian grunted loudly as she moved her hand from his tip to his base, sure to spread the seed. More oozed out. Fuck, but too much more of this and he was going to explode before he even got inside her. He tried to clear his mind. Tried to get the scent of her arousal, of her wet pussy, from his snout. Obsidian opened his mouth, breathing through that instead. She tugged on his cock a couple of times, eliciting a deep growl from him. Then she looked him in the eyes as she positioned his tip at her opening.
He snarled as she sank down on him. Her head falling back and her eyes fluttering shut. It took a couple of slow easy thrusts before she was fully seated on him. Those dark eyes were back on him. His cock was squeezed so damned tight it almost hurt.
Almost.
As it stood, the feel of her wrapped around him was the best thing he had ever felt. He gripped her hips, thrusting into her from below, lifting her on and off his cock, nice and easy. He wanted this to last.
She shook her head, her cheeks flushed. “You need to sit still,” Demi murmured.
Obsidian grunted in response. Sit still. What? He shook his head, wanting more of her, needing—
“I insist,” she said between pants. “No moving.” She peeled his hands off her hips. “Place them on the ground behind you and lean back a little.”
He did as she said. It was difficult. He wanted to touch. Wanted to fuck her more than he wanted to take his next breath. “There. That’s better.” She ground her pussy onto him, using a little circular motion with her hips that drove him wild with need. Her eyes went all hazy and her mouth dropped open just a little. Fucking sexy.
Obsidian grunted loudly, looking down at where they were joined. She lifted just a little, grinding down on him with that circular motion. “Fuck,” he managed to push out. In awe at how amazing it felt.
All he wanted to do though was to thrust. To grip her hips. To put her on her back and grind into her. Even better, to put her on her knees so that he could pound into her. The fact that he could do none of these things, the fact that he was at her complete mercy, made this feel even better. It excited him no end.
Then she lifted up, coming straight down. Obsidian snarled. “Glad you’re enjoying it,” Demi said, her voice husky and deep.
He put a hand on her hip, and she chided him. “Hands on the ground.”
Obsidian made a noise of frustration but did as she asked. He could feel the earth beneath his fingers. He watched as she picked up the pace, punching down on his cock now. His eyes moved back to where they were joined. Her pussy was stretched wide, slipping up and down, all over his cock which was covered in her juices. She was making little noises, her face pinched. Her tits shook and jiggled with every movement.
Fucking gorgeous!
So incredible!
By now, Obsidian was grunting hard, barely holding on. He didn’t want to finish before her. Fuck! Obsidian grit his teeth, closing his eyes. She was too gorgeous. The only problem was that now he could f
eel more. So much more. The slip and slide of her pussy, tight and wet. The scent of her. Musky wolf and sweet female. He could hear the sucking noise her greedy channel was making as she fisted him.
Those little noises she was making had become louder. More urgent. Not urgent enough.
“Fuck it!” he snarled as he used his thumb on her clit. Her mouth fell open as she gasped. Her eyes actually rolled back when he thrust into her from below, his other hand gripping her hip. Her pussy tightened around him like a vice as she yelled, the sound turning deep and throaty as her pussy spasmed around him. Obsidian roared as his seed ejected from him. His balls so tight, they pulled all the way up into his body. He kept his thumb on her clit, holding her there. Forcing her to come harder…longer. He insisted with his dick as well, pummeling into her.
Demi eventually slumped against him, out of breath. Obsidian kept moving, much slower. Easy does it… knowing it was time to pull out, to take her home but struggling to actually do it. “We belong together,” he finally said, rubbing a hand down her back.
He felt her shake and then a laugh broke from her. It was lazy sounding. “You mean, we make good fuck-buddies?”
He frowned.
“It’s a human term for people who have great sex together but not much of a relationship otherwise. Look,” she sighed. “It would have been nice to do this a few more times but I need to get back.” She lifted off him, her face serious. Her eyes grave. “I enjoyed our time together. I will definitely think back on this night with fondness.”
Fondness.
He wanted to snarl at her use of the word. Fond. What kind of a word was that?
“My family will be worried. I’ve been selfish enough as it is.”
“You haven’t been selfish,” Obsidian tried.
She widened her eyes. “Really? There are males out there right now ‒ my father included ‒ looking for me.” She shook her head, swiping a hand across her face. “They will know I rutted another male. They will be angry. I should never have stayed this long. I would appreciate it if you could take me back to where we ran into each other.”
