“When?” She pointed the photo.
“This morning I stopped by your mother’s house. She gave me that and a couple of others. She also said you should be coming to see me, so I came home to wait. I see you went shopping first.”
Sasha nodded. “Um yeah, I had to get a few things.” She hated the distance between them. She needed to hug and touch him. It looked like he was going to be stubborn and sit and wait for her. So she got up, grabbed the bag, and sat next to him reaching for his closest hand and holding it in hers.
“I’m sorry. I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but can you forgive me? I’ve learnt from them and know the way I acted was wrong. I shouldn’t have walked out like that last night. I should have stayed and talked.” She brought his hand to her mouth and kissed his knuckles. “I missed you. I got out of bed happily this morning because it didn’t hold its usual warmth.”
She opened one of the bags and pulled out the big photo she’d had done. It was her favorite of the photos taken. It was of them kissing. Love shone clear in both their eyes. “I was thinking we could put it up on the wall as you come into the house. It would show whoever comes in how much we lo—”
Sasha didn’t finish. Savron moved the bags to the floor, and his mouth caught hers. He pulled her body onto him so she straddled him. His hands slid up her shirt, and he moved from her mouth for a moment.
“Off. I want everything off.”
She nodded as his lips brushed hers. She tried to get out of her clothes, but she was restricted. He growled, and his arms wrapped around her as he stood.
“Bed. We need a bed.”
She wrapped her legs and arms around him as he walked to their room. He unwrapped her dropping her on the bed.
“Naked now.”
She grinned up at him as she slowly undid her clothes. He tore his own off and watched her until with a growl he pounced, ripping her bra and undies.
“Mine finally.”
Sasha wrapped her hands around his neck holding him to her as he nipped his way down her neck. “Yes. Yours. Always yours.”
He purred against her skin. The tips of his fingers glided over her body caressing her and building the passion that consumed her when they were together. This time she would get to share her release with him.
She explored his body, rubbing her hands over every hard surface as he hovered over her. His fingers played with her pussy and clit. A finger slid into her, and she moaned and squeezed his tight arse digging her nails in as a second finger got added. As she got used to the two thick fingers moving in and out she moved her hips to help. Her hands came around to stroke his erection.
Savron looked into her eyes. “Are you sure about this?”
“Yes, very. I love you, Savron. You’re the one and only for me.”
Savron’s lips brushed over hers. “It’s going to hurt the first time. There is nothing I can do about it.”
By now her body felt ready to explode. Savron eased his fingers out, and she groaned at the loss. She let go of his dick to put his hands back where she wanted them only to stop when she felt the broad tip of his cock nudge her pussy open. He inched himself him slowly in until she was panting and sweating with anticipation. She gripped the bed sheets, needing to hold onto something.
Savron’s hands came up, and he stroked her cheek. “I’m sorry, gorgeous. I love you.” His dick came almost all the way out before he pushed back in on a hard thrust.
She screamed as pain radiated through her when he broke through her maidenhead, the pleasure that had built from before gone as he seated himself all the way inside her.
Savron was pressing feather-light kisses over her lips and cheeks and whispering, “I’m so sorry. It won’t ever hurt like that again I promise.” He kissed away her tears and held his lower body as still as possible. His hands moved from her face to massage her breast, and slowly she eased her hands up to grip his arse as it flexed.
Sasha watched Savron try to keep still, as he brought the intense passion back to life in her. This time it felt different though. It was like her body had been waiting for this huge explosion and it was now free.
His cock twitched inside her and shivered at the new sensation. Sasha wiggled her bum back and forth experimentally.
“Oh Sasha, gorgeous. You have to stop. I can’t stay still if you do that.”
“Really, why?”
His forehead came to rest on hers. “Because, I have never felt anything like this before. You are so tight. Your pussy has me in a vise-like grip, and it’s unbelievable. Add to the fact the right now as I look at you I have never seen anything so fucking hot in my life. You’re so beautiful.”
Sasha’s heart beat a million times faster at his words, and she wiggled her butt. “Move.”
Savron let out a long drawn out groan, kissed her, and slid out of her. Wow. It was hard to describe, but the feel of him as he eased out of her and drove back in was delicious; her body tingled all over, and she wanted more.
She broke from his mouth panting. “More. Move again.”
Sasha wrapped her legs around him moved her hands up his back and pushed him down closer to her. She wanted to feel her nipples brush his chest as they moved. She started to get the hang of it, pushing her hips up to meet each of his thrusts. She was on fire, and her body burned with the need to let go.
“I need to come so bad. Your little sounds and your touch are making me lose my mind.” His mouth took hers and his tongue met hers tangling together as his hands trailed down her body. One rubbed her clit, and the other lifted her arse up as his momentum picked up, and he plunged deep into her.
Savron ripped his mouth from hers, pressed down on her clit, lifted her high, and on a roar he came hard, pounding into her. His head came down to re-bite his mate mark.
The onslaught and powerful assault of delicious burning need had the inferno explode. His teeth sank in as he pumped into her, riding out the waves of ecstasy coursing through her sweat-coated body.
Savron collapsed on top of her. “I love you, Sasha.”
She smiled and hugged him tighter to her, not caring about his weight. She let her legs drop back to the bed, and her fingertips trailed up and down his back. “I love you, too.”
“Am I squashing you?” Savron rolled them to the side as he said this.
She looked up and him and knew there would never be anyone else for her. She loved Savron. He was hers. “No, you weren’t. I liked holding you.”
He leaned down and brushed his lips over her head. “You’re mine forever now. I’m not letting you go. No more running. We need to communicate.”
Sasha nodded. “Yes. You’re right.” She pushed herself away so she could look at him. “I want to hear more about your world, but slowly. I want to be your partner in every way. I want you to be able to come home and tell me about things and not worry I’ll have a freak out attack.”
“That will be nice. I’m going to cut back my nights. Only be at the club on weekends when it’s the busiest. I can do most stuff while you’re at school.” He rolled so he was on his back and pulled her on top of him. “There are things I can’t promise will stop. I’ll always be jealous of your male friends or even guys who crack onto you. I can promise that I’ll trust you and won’t kill them.”
She grinned and kissed him savoring his taste. Pulling away she sighed. “I spoke to Zeck today.” Sasha felt his body go rigid beneath her. “I told him that I’m with you, and I will only ever be with you because I love you. I said there will never be anything more than friendship.”
Savron’s body relaxed. “How’d he take it?”
“It’s going to take him a while.”
“You okay?”
“Yeah. He was only ever a friend to me. Even if I wasn’t madly in love with you I wouldn’t be with him. I should never have acted the way I have. I’m sorry for leaving last night.”
“Don’t be. I was being an ass. I should have stayed to celebrate, but I was coming to terms with the fact
that I love you and it has nothing to do with the mate bond.” He chuckled. “Brandon pointed it out to me. I was worried it was the mate bond. I was wrong.”
“I’m glad you love me and it’s not the force of the mate bond. My mum said something to me, and I’m learning she is one hundred percent right. You have to work to make a relationship work. You have to fight for it. Nothing worth having is easy.”
His chest rumbled in a purr. “That is so right, and you, my mate, are not easy.”
“Hey. Take that back.”
She whacked his chest, and he gave a fake growl sitting up and flipping her so she lay beneath him.
“Make me.”
Grinning up at him she wrestled her way back so she was on top and straddling his hips. “I love you. You’re mine.” She stroked his cheek and winked. “My lion.”
Savron pulled her down and kissed her deeply until they both pulled away gasping for air. “Yes, I’m Sasha’s lion.” He purred, and she loved the sound as she snuggled into him listening to her lion purr as she stroked him.
Epilogue
It was Christmas morning, and Sasha was trying to get out of bed, but Savron wouldn’t let her. She pushed his hands off her and moved to get off again when he pulled her back.
“You can’t go until I get my Christmas present and give you yours.”
Sasha rolled her eyes at Savron. “I’m not doing that here. I know shifters have good hearing, so I’m not having your parents hear that.” She and Savron had stayed at his parents’ house so they could keep up the tradition of a big morning brunch and presents with the family. Her mother, sister, and Steve were invited and had said they would come to the brunch at eleven.
“I’ll cover your mouth so you don’t scream.”
He winked at her, and she shook her head. “No. Later at home. I promise I’ll make it worth your while.”
Savron sighed, rubbed his hard cock against her and reached under his pillow and pulled out a small square box. “Ah well, I suppose I can wait for you to open this until we get home.”
Sasha couldn’t remove her gaze from the Christmas red, small box with a green ribbon. Savron waved it in front of her, and then he got off the bed and stood before her gloriously naked. “Come on then. We don’t want to be late.”
Savron shrugged and turned. She jumped out of bed and on him, wrestling him to get her present. “Don’t you dare. That was mean. Give it here.”
He laughed and grabbed her, pulling her around to face him. “What do I get if I give it?”
Sasha smiled up at him and wrapped her arms and legs around him. “How about I live with you?”
He shook his head. “I have that already.”
“How about I make love to you every chance I get, and I love you forever?”
The box came back into her view. “I want more.” He sat on the bed. “Open it.”
Undoing the green ribbon she peeled the paper back to reveal a velvet white box. Her heart beat sounded fast and loud. She would swear she could hear it bouncing off the walls. Slowly she lifted the lid. She gasped at the sight before her … a ring. A yellow diamond, surrounded by smaller white ones in a circle, sat flat on a gold band.
“Your lion eyes.” She gently touched the ring.
Savron cleared his throat. “Sasha Brentno, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
He took the ring out and brought her left hand to him and slid the ring on her wedding finger. It fit perfectly.
Sasha was speechless.
“Are you going to say anything? A yes would be nice.”
All she could do was nod.
He brushed his lips over hers. “I love you.” He gave her a huge bear hug, stood up and swung her around the room until she laughed and hugged him back.
As Savron fell back on the bed her on top of him she looked up and said. “Yes. I love you. I would love to marry you.”
He kissed her until she was burning with need for him. He pulled from her when they heard Brandon’s loud roar.
“Over my dead body. No way. I’m coming to get you now.”
They heard stomping go past their door and then the front door slam so hard that they could hear from upstairs.
Savron started chuckling. “This is going to be so good. Let’s hope that Jess and Brandon have this worked out by the time we get married.”
“Don’t laugh at him. Poor Brandon, Jess doesn’t take orders well. Let alone someone taking over her life and learning the world is not all good, that nightmares are real. She’s not talking to me right now.”
“I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do?”
“Yeah, you can let me get dressed so I can show off my ring downstairs and tell them the good news.”
He groaned and let her go. “Fine. You’re lucky I love you.”
She brushed her lips against his. “I love you, too, my big cuddly lion.”
