He’d never realized how dangerous this land was until he met Andrea. Anything and everything could take her from him, and it had his heart thundering around in his chest. Grabbing her hand, he rushed them towards their destination. The sooner he had her stashed somewhere safe, the better, in his opinion.
The rest of their journey went about the same. There were moments of silence as his mate gathered her thoughts, and then she would ask more questions like she’d never lived in this world before. Which caused him to wonder where exactly she’d gone when she’d disappeared on him.
Rokki supposed he might never know, and that was fine with him, as long as he knew where she would be from now on. He had until the seer fixed Andrea’s bracelet to convince his mate that life without him would be less enjoyable.
Chapter 12
Andrea’s feet ached more than she wished for them to ache. She wouldn’t be entirely surprised if she developed some blisters on the bottoms of her feet from all this walking. It was nice of Rokki to have given her some moccasins, but they didn’t provide a lot of arch support and weren’t thick enough to prevent rocks from poking her.
As they rounded a small hill covered in tall grass, she spotted a small hut built between two massive trees. It wasn’t large. A simple hut made of tanned animal skin, sinew, and animal bones.
“This will be a safe area for you while I figure out how to introduce you to my pack.” Rokki pressed a warm hand to the small of her back as he propelled her towards the hut.
Her archeologist side came out, and she didn’t need the push of encouragement. Striding over to the hut, her aching feet completely forgotten, she ran a hand over the animal skin sides of the hut and over a mammoth bone that helped to support the entrance of the hut. It appeared that whoever had built the hut used deer skin as the sides of the hut, and a small hole was cut in at the top.
“May I go inside?” Andrea asked as she glanced over her shoulder at Rokki.
“Go in.” Rokki pulled a skin flap aside and waved for her to go in.
Eagerly, Andrea walked inside, having to duck slightly to get in through the low entrance. It was a small hut, smaller than some huts she’d seen reconstructions of in her time at museums. It wasn’t someone’s home. Just a place to stay for a short time. There was a fire pit in the center, but no coals or flames. As she looked around, Rokki walked inside, crowding the small space with his large frame.
“I will get a fire started for you. Just feed it while I’m gone.”
“How long will you be gone?” She asked as she unfolded some furs that had been stacked inside the hut and laid them out on the ground.
“I’m not sure. My pack is having trouble with Neanderthals invading our territory, so I might have to help my pack, but I will be back as soon as I can.” Rokki crouched beside the pit and began to stack sticks and kindling. Then, with a skill, she was sure she lacked, got the fire started within a few minutes. Flames licked to life as they greedily ate at the wood. “There are some packs of dried meat over here.” Rokki pointed to some pouches in the corner. “You may eat as much as you like.”
Andrea twisted her hands in front of her as her eyes darted to the entrance of the hut. She wasn’t keen on the idea of staying here alone. Especially for an unknown amount of time. She may not know Rokki that well, but she knew she was safe with him. He’d proven that several times already.
With a couple of strides, Rokki stepped up in front of her and grabbed her hands in his large warm ones. “You will be fine here.” His golden eyes met hers, and she could see he was doing his best to will away any of her fears. “I would never let anything happen to you.” He promised as he leaned in and placed a hot kiss against her lips.
Eager for the connection, Andrea met his kisses with her own eagerness. Now that she was in the ice age, he was her only friend and companion. He was the only person who made her feel safe in such an unpredictable world.
Rokki’s hands gently roamed over her sides, and even through her thick animal pelt clothing, his body heat warmed her to the core.
If he was determined to leave her here at the hut, then she was going to draw out every single moment before he left.
Breaking away from her addicting lips and honey-sweet taste, Rokki’s lips left hers, and he ran the fingertips of a hand down her brow and over the side of her face. She was beautiful. Her face was round and full, and her lips were bruised by his deep kisses.
“You pull me in.” He said on a heated whisper. His mate was a sweet addiction that he wanted for the rest of his life. “Don’t disappear on me again.”
“I’ll do my best,” Andrea promised.
It wasn’t the answer he’d been hoping for, but he would take it for now… but later, his dire wolf would want a better, more reassuring answer.
“I want you to kiss me again, Rokki,” Andrea said, her pink lips parted, and her green eyes had gone pine tree dark with her lust.
“I should get back to my clan.” Rokki’s hand continued to stroke the side of her face as his feet remained in place despite his words.
“I think your clan can wait a little bit longer.” Andrea purred as she placed her hands on his shirt and dug in her nails, bunching up the material. “I need you right now.”
His inner dire wolf whimpered as it pleaded him to stay in the hut and fulfill their mate’s desire. She was right. If his clan had noticed his disappearance, then a few more minutes wouldn’t matter.
Rokki’s nostrils flared as he scented the air inside the hut. He could smell the heat drifting off her as her body warmed to his touches. There was no way he could leave now, not until he pleased her, or she would haunt him while he was gone… or maybe that was simply an excuse for him to stay.
As instinct pushed rational thoughts out of his mind. All he could focus on was the mate before him. A mate who was filling the hut with the scent of her desire. His nostrils flared as he sucked in her flowery fragrance with greedy intakes.
His head bent, and his lips slanted over hers. She moaned into his mouth, and he growled lightly with his desire. Tugging on her long auburn locks, he forced her head back so he could get better access to her mouth. A sigh of pleasure parted her lips, and he took full advantage of it. Slipping his tongue into her mouth, he teased her, tasted her. The tips of his fingers elongated a bit as claws began to form on his hands.
Breaking the kiss with an audible pop, Andrea drew back as her hands frantically clawed at the front of his shirt. “We need to get this off of you.” She panted breathlessly. “I want to touch you without it in the way.”
Chuckling, Rokki grabbed each of her dainty wrists in his large lands and drew them away from his chest. “Let me.”
Andrea sucked in a harsh breath as she gasped.
Rokki froze, knowing she’d just spotted his clawed hands. Would she push him away? Waiting for her reaction, he didn’t even dare breathe. He’d shown them to her once without her drawing away, but now that those hands were on her? He feared her reaction.
“Oh… wow.” Andrea didn’t pull back, and she seemed unable to look away from his hands. Holding them up closer to her face, she studied his clawed fingers.
“Do I scare you?” Rokki finally asked when he couldn’t bear her silence anymore.
Shaking her head no, Andrea raised her eyes and met him square on. “You don’t scare me… confuse me, maybe, but if you meant me any harm, you would have done something long ago, like when we first met.” She sent him a cautious smile.
“I would never harm you.” Rokki yanked her into his arms so he could wrap them around her and crush her against his chest. Even the thought of harming her caused his stomach to roll in distaste. “And I will never let anything harm you if I can do anything about it.” He would throw himself in front of a charging woolly rhinoceros if it would save her life.
“Make love to me,” Andrea whispered up at him, her green orbs fixing him with a lust clouded gaze.
There was no need for her to ask him twice. Break
ing away from her, Rokki shed his clothing with quick and eager jerks of his hands, and when he straightened, he found his mate’s gaze pinned on his jutting cock. A smug smile adorned his lips as he stood there proudly, allowing her to take her fill. Let her admire him.
Tensing the muscle in his member, it bobbed in front of Andrea, and the tip of her pink tongue darted out to wet her mouth.
Before he could even move, Andrea dropped to her knees and sent him a naughty smile before focusing her attention back on his cock. Her fingers wrapped around his hard length, and she slowly pumped his member with eager and sure strokes.
“Yes,” Rokki murmured as he let his eyes slide closed and enjoyed the feel of his mate pleasuring him. Something hot and wet surrounded his cock, and when his eyes shot open to glance down, he found Andrea’s tight mouth wrapped firmly around his cock. Her head bobbed on his cock, sending her auburn locks bouncing around. “Andrea.” He growled as pressure built within him. He enjoyed this view of her as she pleasured his cock with her mouth. The gods had granted him a lusty mate, and it pleased him.
When she pulled her head back, he thought she was going to stop sucking on him with her need, but she didn’t. Instead, she left the head of his cock in her mouth and swirled her tongue around the peak. “Mmmmm.” She purred, which sent vibrations coursing through him.
“Gods, Andrea. You will make me come in your mouth.” His dire wolf howled inside him with pleasure but at the same time growled at Rokki to push her onto all fours and take her from behind. Rokki yanked in the beast. His mate wanted to pleasure him, and he wanted to let her do it her way.
“Mmmhmmm.” She agreed as she hungrily sucked on his cock, her cheeks caving in with the pressure. One of her hands worked the base of his cock while her other hand fondled his balls.
Eyes shutting once more, Rokki did his best not to let his legs buckle, but his mate possessed a talented tongue. She knew exactly which spots to tease and draw on.
“You want me to come in your mouth?” He asked as stars, and bright lights flashed across his closed eyelids.
“Mmmhmmm.” Andrea purred again, never letting up as she greedily sucked on his cock, even increasing the pleasure with her mouth and hand.
Digging his fingers deep into her soft hair, he helped to guide her head over his cock. Within minutes, the pressure grew, and right before he came, he uttered, “Take me.” He growled with almost a howl to his words.
Andrea wasn’t usually a person who liked the taste of cum, but she couldn’t resist the urge to suck him off. She could taste the saltiness as pre-cum leaked out of the slit in his cock, but she refused to release her hold.
Pumping her hand and sucking as much of his cock as she could, she felt him tense under her hands, and she took him deeper until the head of his cock bumped the back of her throat. And then he came. Hot seed coursed down her throat as she continued to work him, and he let out a pleasured groaned as he slumped a bit.
Once he was done, Andrea leaned back, releasing his cock and balls.
“You enjoyed?” Rokki asked as he opened his eyes and watched her lick her lips.
“I did, and you?”
“Very much,” He nodded his head enthusiastically. His black hair swung around his shoulders. “Remove your clothing.” He commanded as his golden eyes heated with desire. “It is my turn to pleasure you.”
Standing up with a flutter of her heart, she slowly peeled off her shirt. She wasn’t sure why, but her hands shook a bit. She wasn’t used to a man as chiseled and good looking as Rokki showing interest in her. It wasn’t like she was ugly, at least, she didn’t think so, but back in her world, she was fairly certain he would have been out of her league.
She was his mate, which meant he had no option but to like her, and that thought had her desire tamping down. Mentally, she shook off her doubts. Who cared why he showed her this kind of attention. Who was she to look a gift horse in the mouth?
The shirt hit the dirt floor, and her pants and moccasins soon joined the discarded shirt.
“You are perfect.” Rokki’s deep voice wrapped around her, sending thrills of excitement racing over her.
Andrea figured she could lose a couple of pounds off her thighs and waist, but who was she to argue with an attractive man, especially when his golden eyes were filled to the brim with desire as he stared at her.
“Lie down,” Rokki commanded her.
Andrea obeyed him eagerly. Sitting down on the furs she’d spread earlier, she laid down on the fur that was spread out over the dirt floor of the hut. Rokki stood above her, unmoving as his golden eyes roamed up and down her. As he studied her, she allowed her eyes to roam over him in return. His cock was semi-hard, still jutting out from between his legs, reluctant to go down when the promise of more pleasure was hanging in the air. His taste was still on her lips, and she didn’t mind it as much as she used to, maybe because her head was so fuzzy with desire.
“Spread your thighs.” He once more commanded her. There was a fire burning bright in his golden eyes as he stared at the hair guarding her feminine center.
Biting the inside of her cheek with her teeth, Andrea inched open her legs, leaving herself exposed as his eyes lazily drifted down to the area between her thighs. A blush crept up her cheeks as she laid there under his scrutiny. Here she was, spread to his view, and she had no idea what he thought! Butterflies zoomed around in her stomach as she waited for his reaction.
A low rumbling growl vibrated through the air of the hut.
Rokki moved faster than her mind could process. When she blinked, she found her werewolf kneeling between her legs. His hair roughened legs brushed her calves and then her thighs as he positioned himself. Leaning over her, one hand braced by her side, he grabbed his cock and brushed the tip over her engorged folds. “So wet for me.” He growled with approval.
“Enter me.” Andrea panted, her voice gone soft and wanton with the need to come that coursed through her. She didn’t need him to tease or play with her. Her body was hot and ready.
“Do you enjoy my cock?” He asked as he teased her, rubbing the tip of his cock against her nub, which was slicked with her own juices.
“Yes.” Andrea panted as she bucked her hips in an attempt to get his cock inside her. To feel it fill her.
“Eager mate?” Rokki chuckled as he pulled back, slightly taking his cock away from her aching center.
Andrea glanced up at him to see a teasing smile on his lips, his canines popped below his upper lip, reminding her he was half beast and half human. “I need to feel you fill me.” She pleaded with him.
As their eyes connected, he leaned forward and sank into her heat, using his hips to push his cock into her. His other hand came to land on the fur on her other side. Raising her legs, she wrapped them around his waist, connecting her ankles, locking him in place so he could choose to pull away from her again.
Andrea was so tight and went. Her body welcomed Rokki’s hard length wrapping his hard spear in her soft flesh, coaxing, tempting him to slide deeper. His dire wolf growled in approval at their mate’s arousal.
Her sweet scent filled the hut, driving his animalistic side insane with the flowery pull.
His dire wolf growled to be let loose, to show itself, but Rokki pushed it back. It already had its opportunity to show itself to their mate. With a grumble, the beast retreated to the back of Rokki’s mind, still there but not showing itself physically.
Unconsciously, Andrea’s hips moved, and Rokki’s mind went blank. His hips thrust forward as their bodies slapped together with the force of their joining.
Andrea moaned her pleasure as her own hips bucked and thrust along with him, driving his shaft as deep as it could go. The sounds of her rapture rang in the chilly air as a slight glisten to her skin shone in the dancing firelight.
“Oh, yes, Rokki!” She panted under him.
Satisfaction rolled through him that he could bring her such pleasure.
Bending his head, Rokki captured
her lips with his. Her moans poured into his mouth as her hands desperately clung to his back, to his shoulder, and to his arms. Giving a hearty growl, Rokki slid his tongue against the seam of her lips until she opened them to him. Then he slid his tongue into her mouth, penetrating her with more than just his member.
Lowering his body, he let his chest rub up against her pert nipples, causing a sensational friction between them as their bodies thrust against each other.
“Mmmmm.” Andrea groaned.
Pulling his head back, Rokki glanced down at his mate, who’s green eyes were swirling pools of desire. All sanity had been replaced with lust as her mind and body strived for one thing. Climax.
Pulling back even further, but never ceasing in his fast and deep thrusts, Rokki smiled as he watched her breasts bounce with their enthusiasm. The smooth orbs tempted him as her rosy nipples bounced back and forth.
His mate was perfection. The gods must have taken pleasure in creating her. Just as much as he was enjoying it right now.
“Oh, yes.” Andrea rocked her hips with his movements driving his cock as deep as it could go within her. Her eyes slid shut as his cock hit every sensitive part inside her. She was so riled up. Could barely think.
“Open your eyes.” Rokki’s deep voice sliced through the air. “I love seeing the desire flickering within.”
Andrea’s eyes popped open at his throaty command.
“I want to see your eyes as you take my shaft and come around me.” His arms bulged as he thrust into her, jostling her breasts with the ferocity of his thrusts and sending a whole new sensation rolling through her. “I want to feel you come around me. Coax my seed deep inside you, mate.” The last of his words faded into a growl.
Andrea’s hands ran up and down his arms, feeling the tense muscles under her touch as he drove into her with wild thrusts. Her legs shook as pleasure seared through her, and she felt as though she was on a fluffy cloud. Just floating. Ready to drop into the vibrant abyss of ecstasy.
