She looked so beautiful, so sexy with her flushed cheeks, red kiss-swollen lips, with her eyes closed.
Rex’s heart flipped and his breath hitched in his throat. He felt the mating bond, and for the first time in his life he felt complete. He hadn’t even known there was an empty space in his heart until he’d met Pixie, and now it was gone. All the cynicism he’d learned while serving his country with his brothers and his other shifter friends was gone, too. Rex felt as if he had a new lease on life. He was happier than he’d ever been, but he also felt contentedness.
He was going to spend the rest of his life trying to make his mate happy and that she felt loved.
He kissed her on the shoulder and then eased his deflating cock from her warm, wet confines, causing both of them to moan. He flopped down onto the bed beside Pixie and pulled her off of Shaffer and into his arms. She sighed and nuzzled her cheek against his chest. He’d never expected to find his and his brothers’ mate, had never thought to dream about having a woman of his own to love and to hold. Pixie felt so damn perfect in his arms, with her sexy naked body pressed against his, he never wanted to let her go. However, when he glanced over at Shaffer and saw the pain his brother was in, he sighed with resignation.
Shaffer wanted, needed to mate with Pixie, too, and from the way his brother was clenching his jaw and the fervor in his eyes, he wasn’t going to last much longer.
Rex nudged Pixie’s face up to his, and after kissing her reverently on the lips, he scooted out from under her and headed toward the bathroom off his own bedroom. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use the adjoining bathroom to this room, but he wasn’t sure he would be able to keep his hands to himself once he came out again. If he caught sight of Shaffer and their mate making love, he was sure to make an ass out of himself and join in again. Their mate wasn’t ready to make love with all of them together yet, and then there was the fact she was ovulating. They were going to have to wait to claim her together until she was in the safe zone of her cycle because if they used condoms, the mating bond wouldn’t strengthen. He just hoped that her fertile period didn’t last more than a day or two.
If it did, they were going to have to talk to Pixie and ask whether she was ready to have their cubs.
He groaned with lust as he imagined their mate blossoming with child.
Rex turned the shower on, not bothering to add any hot water into the mix. He stepped under the icy spray and stared at his hard dick.
How the hell could he be hard again already? He’d just had the most explosive orgasms in his life, and here he was ready to go again only minutes later.
Rex had a feeling it was going to be long few days. Especially if Pixie wasn’t ready to conceive yet.
The only consolation was that their woman carried their scents as well as their mating marks and wouldn’t be attractive to any of the other single shifters. He wasn’t sure he wouldn’t tear one of the other men apart with his claws if they so much as glanced her way. Not until the mating bond had been cemented anyway.
Rex shivered under the cold water and gripped the base of his hard cock. The cold wasn’t helping at all, but he needed to relieve his hunger or he might just go mad. At least his lion wasn’t going as crazy as it had before he’d claimed Pixie.
He just hoped his animal didn’t start in on him again.
A slow smile spread across his face, and then he groaned as he pumped his hand up and down his hard shaft.
Pixie had accepted them, and he was going to make damn sure their woman had no reason to regret her decision.
His heart was full and his soul was complete. She’d done that by agreeing to be his mate. She’d humbled him with her acceptance, and he couldn’t wait to start the rest of his life with his mate by his side. All too soon he was spewing cum against the tile wall. It hadn’t taken much to orgasm since he’d been inside of Pixie just minutes ago. He gasped for breath and tried to get the shaking in his legs to stop as he added hot water to his shower.
There was no way in fucking hell the bastard out to get her was ever going to lay a finger on her, let alone set his eyes on her. As he thought of that fucker, the hair on his nape stood on end.
No matter how much he wanted to keep his woman safe, there was no guarantee that things wouldn’t go fubar. Hopefully with him, his brothers, and the rest of the shifters in town, they would know as soon as that bastard set foot in Ambrose.
Chapter Fourteen
Shaffer couldn’t help jerking when Pixie touched his arm.
“Shaffer, are you okay?” She frowned.
He nodded, but he wasn’t really sure he was okay at all. He was literally shaking with need, and his lion was riding him hard to claim his mate. Although he wanted to roll over on top of her, he was scared he was going to hurt her. While he watched first Tatum and then Rex make love to their woman, he’d had a hard time keeping his animal and lust at bay. His muscles were so pumped with blood they felt as if they were about to tear through his skin. Time and again he’d had fur sprouting up from the pores in his flesh, and a couple of times his claws had emerged from the tips of his fingers.
“You look as if you’re in pain.” Pixie stroked a finger down his arm, causing him to shiver as she caressed his heated skin.
He didn’t want to frighten, her but he needed to tell her how tenuous his control was. “My lion’s wanting out.” He drew in a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. That didn’t help one little bit. He was panting and shaking as if he’d just run a marathon. Twice.
“Would it help if you let him out?”
He shook his head vigorously. His mate didn’t understand, so he needed to clarify. He cleared his throat and hoped it didn’t sound croaky. “I’ve just watched you being claimed and making love with my brothers. I’m so hot for you, sugar, I’m worried I’ll hurt you.”
Pixie shifted from her side up to her knees and palmed his cheek. He closed his eyes and savored the skin-to-skin contact even if it wasn’t of the carnal variety. “You won’t hurt me, Shaffer. None of you would. I trust you.”
Shaffer groaned and tried to ignore his throbbing cock and lust, but it wasn’t to be. The more she touched him the hungrier he got. Pre-cum was leaking from his dick, and his balls felt as if they’d turned to stone, full and heavy in his sac.
If he so much as moved a muscle he was bound to snap.
He rolled from his side to his back and breathed deeply as he pictured all the paperwork strewn about the diner’s office, and just as he was sure he had himself under control, Pixie straddled him.
All bets were off the moment her ass connected with his thighs.
He moved fast, sitting up and snagging her around the waist before quickly flipping them so that she was underneath him, before slanting his mouth over hers.
Pixie moaned as their tongues danced and dueled before rubbing together in an erotic frolic. He shifted on his knees, nudging her legs wider, and then covered her body with his. There was no thought in his mind other than shoving his aching cock deep inside his mate’s body.
She whimpered and arched her chest against his, her hard, little nipples brushing and stabbing into his flesh. Goose bumps raced over his heated skin as the cooler air in the room drifted over him. He moaned when she wrapped her legs around his hips and gasped air into his lungs the second he broke the kiss.
Shaffer licked and nibbled his way down her neck over her collarbone and toward her chest. He glanced up at her as he laved his tongue over a peaked nipple and would have smiled when she shivered and gasped if he hadn’t been so intent on keeping his own voracious need under wraps.
Pixie threaded her fingers into his hair and tugged his face closer to her breast. Shaffer didn’t make her wait a moment longer because he couldn’t wait either. He opened his mouth, drew her nipple in, and suckled on it firmly. When she began rocking her hips up against his, he shifted to her other nipple, needing to make sure she was wet and ready to take him. He knew the second he was embedded in her hot, tight, wet
“Oh!” Pixie moaned and shivered as he scraped the edge of his teeth over her sensitive distended nub. He loved the sounds she made. Every gasp, groan, moan, and whimper sent his carnal fever rising another step. His body was so hot he was sure he was about to burst into flames.
He lifted his mouth from her chest as he got up further onto his knees and eyed her body over. He literally stopped breathing when he noticed the white patch covering her sutures near her hip and berated himself. How the hell could he have forgotten it was only days since she’d had surgery? Shaffer felt like an ass as he remembered how he’d blanketed her body with his weight pressing down onto her.
He reached behind him, unlocked her legs from around him, and scooted back on the mattress as he stared at the bandage.
“What’s wrong, Shaffer? Why did you move away?” Pixie asked.
“Did I hurt you?” He finally dragged his gaze from the bandage and met her gaze.
“No. Why would you think that?”
He pointed to the covered wound. “I put my weight on you.”
Pixie sat up with a sigh and pushed her hair from her face. “I would have told you if you’d hurt me, Shaffer. How many times do I have to tell you and your brothers that I’m not some fucking damsel in distress, or that I’ll break at the slightest touch? Y’all must think I’m so weak.”
Shaffer snagged her ankle when she moved toward the side of the bed. “Where are you going?”
“What do you mean where am I going?” She huffed and crossed her arms beneath her breasts.
His gaze immediately zeroed in on her lush feminine globes and hard, pink nipples.
“I didn’t think you wanted me anymore. You’re the one who moved away from me.”
Shaffer shook his head. “I’ll always want you, sugar. Don’t think I don’t.” He huffed out an exasperated sigh and threaded his fingers through his hair. “I was so hungry for you I forgot about your stitches, and when I did remember, I needed to make sure you were all right.”
“So, you still want me?” Pixie frowned.
“I want you so much I’m worried I’m going to come as soon as I’m inside you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you do,” Pixie said. “I’ve already come so many times I don’t think it’ll be possible to climax again.”
“Oh yes, you will,” he said resolutely. There was no way in hell he was coming before his mate.
Pixie didn’t say anything but quirked an eyebrow skeptically. The next second she was gasping because Shaffer had somehow managed to flip her over onto her stomach.
She saw his hand come into view when he grabbed the pillow near her.
“Lift your hips, sugar.”
Pixie did one better and pushed up onto her hands and knees. She glanced over her shoulder when Shaffer growled. His gaze was locked onto her ass and maybe her pussy, as well. There was no way he could miss her wet pussy since she had her hips tilted.
Shaffer dropped the pillow under her and then smoothed his hands over her ass cheeks.
“You’re so fucking sexy, mate. Your skin is so soft and warm.”
She held her breath when she felt him move behind her, expecting him to align his hard dick with her pussy and drive deep inside, but when he didn’t move again, she once more turned to gaze at him. She shivered with need when he lowered his head and then whimpered when he licked over first one butt cheek and then the other.
“I love how your skin tastes, Pixie. If I wasn’t so hungry for you I would spend hours licking from your toes to the top of your head.”
“Oh God,” she groaned and then jerked when he nipped her butt.
“I hope you’re ready for me, sugar. I can’t wait any longer.”
“I am,” she panted out. “Hurry, Shaffer. I’m on fire.”
“Me, too, mate. Me, too.”
Pixie once more held her breath when Shaffer grasped his cock and caressed the tip up through her wet folds. Juices wept out to bathe his erection.
A deep rumbling purr set up in his chest when the head of his cock kissed her dripping entrance. The breath exploded from her lungs in a noisy whoosh when he pushed inside. He groaned as her wet heat enveloped the head of his cock and she clenched around him. He closed his eyes and counted each breath as he tried to control his urge to shove in balls deep.
“W-what are you waiting for?” Pixie asked breathlessly.
“Give me a minute, mate,” he rasped out.
“A minute is way too damn long.” Pixie panted. “I need you, Shaffer. Right now!”
Shaffer lost it as she shoved her hips back against him, taking his cock deeper. He flexed his fingers around her hips and gripped her harder, hoping he wasn’t hurting her, but he couldn’t seem to stop himself. He drew back, causing her to whimper, and then he stroked into her as far as he could go. She was so fucking hot, wet, and tight and every time her cunt rippled around him, his cock jerked, but he ignored the deep hungry yearning to move. His mate needed time to get used to his abrupt penetration.
“Shaffer?”
“What do you need, sugar?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
“You. Please? I need you to move.” She used her internal muscles to squeeze and clamp down around him, and Shaffer just about went insane.
He purred and yowled as he withdrew and then slammed back inside of her. She moaned and he paused again, worried that he’d been too rough.
“Don’t you dare stop now.” Pixie shoved her ass into his groin.
Shaffer let his control off the leash and powered in and out of her cunt. She moaned and he groaned at the heated, wet frictional slide. His cock jerked and twitched as the head brushed over her G-spot.
Pixie whimpered and gasped, her whole body shaking and shivering as they made love. He drove in and out of her wet cunt like a man possessed, fast, hard and deep. Feminine honey bathed his cock as he continued to glide in and out of her pussy.
When warm tingles formed at the base of his spine he knew he needed to ramp things up. Shaffer released one of her hips and cupped a breast before kneading and molding the soft feminine globe. She moaned and groaned, but when he squeezed the nipple between his finger and thumb, she cried out.
Her soft feminine voice seemed to reach right into his body to his heart and soul, taking up residence in his psyche for all time. Shaffer loved her so damn much and couldn’t wait to stake his claim. Once he’d bitten her, no other shifter would ever look at his woman again. At least not with desire in their eyes. He growled with fury when he remembered how Zayn had tried to come onto his mate. No other man would ever get to the chance with Pixie again. Possessiveness rose up inside of him and his canines elongated. With ruthless determination, Shaffer shoved his animal down deep. It was too soon to sink his teeth into his mate, just yet. If he claimed her while she wasn’t climaxing, she was likely to feel too much pain.
The warning heat was moving around his hips toward his lower belly. If it got any lower he was going to lose his load.
Shaffer released the nipple he’d been rolling and plucking and caressed his way down over her torso toward her lower belly and mound.
“Oh,” Pixie gasped as his fingertips brushed over her sensitive skin toward her slit. The second he dipped into her folds and found her clit he began to rub slow concentric circles around the sensitive bundle of nerves. She moaned and then started moving with him.
The only sound in the room was their heavy breathing and their bodies as they slapped together. When Pixie’s cunt rippled along his dick, Shaffer’s purring got louder. He hoped that she wasn’t freaked out by the sounds he was making, but since she hadn’t said anything, he guessed she wasn’t.
The heat was now covering him from back to front and his balls were tingling with unrequited fire. His testes were harder than they’d ever felt before, and he realized he was only seconds away from orgasm.
Shaffer wrapped an arm around her waist and held her still as he covered her body with his. All the while he kept pumping his hips, his cock shuttling in and out of her wet cunt and his finger rubbing over her clit faster and firmer.
“Shaffer. Shaffer. Shaffer,” Pixie chanted his name as she got closer to her peak.
“That’s it, sugar. Let go and come for me.”
“I can’t. I can’t. I can’t.”
Shaffer shook his head even though he knew she couldn’t see him. There were no such words as ‘I can’t’ when it came to him and his mate making love. He maneuvered behind her and pressed a hand in the middle of her back between her shoulder blades. “Put your shoulders on the mattress, mate.”
Pixie lowered her upper body to the bed until her shoulder and cheek were on the mattress. Shaffer got his feet under him with his legs spread wide and his knees bent and then drove down into her pussy harder, faster, and deeper. It was awkward standing on the bed, but he balanced with a hand in the small of his mates back and shoved in deep again.
“Oh. Oh.” Pixie shivered.
Shaffer groaned as the head of his dick rubbed over her G-spot each time he advanced and retreated. With this angle, he was getting every sweet spot she had. Plus, he was still caressing her clit.
She bathed his hard dick in copious amount of cum, and her muscles began to get closer and closer together. Each time he shoved in deep she clamped around him like a fist.
His balls drew up higher and the fire had just reached the base of his cock, when Pixie screamed as she fell over the edge.
He yowled as her cunt spasmed around his throbbing cock, and just as he was about to follow her into orgasm, he dropped back to his knees and blanketed her with his body. She quaked and quivered beneath him, her pussy convulsing and massaging along his dick until he couldn’t take it anymore.
With a roar of ecstasy, Shaffer shoved into once, twice more, and stilled when he was buried deep enough to touch her womb as he climaxed.
Stars burst before his eyes. His whole body shuddered and juddered as nirvana snatched him up in its grip. His balls pulsed, sending spume after spume of cum racing up his shaft and out of the tip, filling his mate’s cunt and womb with his essence, with his scent.
