"You feel so good around my cock." He leaned forward to brush his lips against mine, and then retreated, staring hungrily at my neck. "I don't know why I waited so long to try this."

I didn't ask, not wanting to bring up his exes while we were in the middle of something wonderful. I was not a religious person, but this was the closest I'd ever come to a spiritual experience. I couldn't wait to claim Tuft and make him mine.

Chapter 15

Tuft

Ihad never seen anything sexier than Axel gripping his headboard shelf and rocking his hips in time with mine. He cried out when my cock pressed against his prostate. I had to be careful I didn't lean too far forward. My jaw already ached from wanting to bite him. We'd agreed to wait for our mating marks until we'd mated as nature intended, with his knot filling me.

I couldn't give him a knot, but I did my best to make his first time as fantastic as possible. My first time, hell, my first few times, had been rushed, with no foreplay. I had prepped Axel, but I'd avoided most foreplay tonight. We'd been building up to this for weeks now, ever since our first kiss. If I'd sucked his cock, this would have been over before it began, and we'd be waiting for another weekend.

I was tired of waiting. Axel had completed his training, which meant all eyes would be on us to mate. Tonight, we progressed one step closer to that, though my slick didn't understand why it was still running freely from my ass while I fucked into Axel's tight hole. It kept running down my crack to the back of my balls, where I scooped it up and applied it to my cock. I didn't want to hurt Axel in any way.

He started babbling again, the way he had when I'd fingered him. I stopped worrying he wouldn't enjoy it and focused on how good it felt, instead. Axel spread his legs and planted his heels on the bed, thrusting against me as I fucked into him. His muscles flexed and rippled beneath his skin, and my balls drew up as I watched.

I grabbed another handful of slick and coated his cock with it, jerking him hard and fast in time with my hip snaps into his tight hole. His scales glistened with sweat as he tightened around me, and I felt the beginning of his knot swell in my hand as he shot white stripes over his chest and abdomen.

The smell of his cum mixed with my slick and pushed me over the edge. I came hard, thrusting my knees under his back and rolling into as tight a ball as I could with him beneath me. I tucked my head against his sticky chest to keep from marking his neck. I didn't even care that I'd smeared cum all over my face.

Once I could breathe again, I licked the rest of him clean, from his chest to his cock.

He shoved me away with a laugh. "That's enough."

"Never." I kissed his thigh. "At least, I hope you liked it?"

"Oh, sugar." He chuckled, and he sounded both worn out and delighted. "We'll definitely do that again."

I crawled up the bed to lie beside him. He kissed my sticky cheek, and then he licked it clean. Kissing and licking led to more kissing, and then I was sprawled on top of him again, my tongue lapping at the scales on his neck, where I wanted to put my mating mark.

"Soon," I whispered. "We'll mate soon."

"We can take our time." Axel's tone drew my attention to his serious gaze. "It's all right. We'll wait until you're ready."

"How are you so perfect?" Weld hadn't forced me to mate by any means, but knowing that Axel would wait for me had me falling even harder for him.

I blinked. Shit. I was probably already in love with him. He was my fated mate, so it was expected, but damn. I'd never fallen in love this quickly. I questioned whether I'd been in love before. I'd realized I'd loved my exes only after they'd broken my heart.

This time, I recognized the feeling, only it was more. I wanted to mate and claim, yes, but I also wanted to communicate and snuggle. I wanted long walks and interesting discussions. I couldn't wait to wake up beside him every morning, to eat breakfast with him, to share a bed and a nest with him.

I had it bad. My mind wandered to earlier in the week as I came down from my natural high. I rested my head on Axel's chest and my thoughts drifted between the past and the future.

Punky and I had both cringed when Priestess Alma had told our class, "An omega's place is in the home." We were expected to take care of our alpha mates, feed our egg clutches, and raise our beta children.

Now that we had the added duty of raising our alpha and omega children, as well, I might have taken on more than I could handle. I would never know until I tried, though.

When I met with her earlier in the week, Priestess Alma said nothing about mating and children. She squinted at me when I shared the job I'd created for myself was a full-time position. Ultimately, she supported my career choice, but then she said, "You'll need to hire two betas to start." When I tried to argue, she threatened to add more.

"Two is fine," I'd agreed. I already had two hardworking betas in mind.

While Axel and his construction crew spent the next two weeks building our outdoor recreation area, I would be knocking on doors and putting together teams for our alpha/omega intramural, beta, and combined youth leagues.

Punky didn't want his daughter to be excluded just because she was the only female kobold under thirty, and I agreed. Allfour of his children wanted to participate, but I was going to split them onto different teams to give them the best chance to meet other kids.

I should not have been thinking about kids, or sports. I curled into Axel's side and kissed his cheek. He was already snoring from the busy day and the amazing orgasm. I still had slick running down my ass, so I took a moment to clean us up and find my compression shorts before returning to his comforting warmth.

The next morning, I woke before Axel, which was unusual. First, I'd only spent the night with him once, by accident, when we'd both fallen asleep watching some forgettable romantic comedy on his couch. Second, my alpha's alarm sounded at some ungodly time before my brain could register sound. He said he tried to get me up to shower with him, but I hadn't budged. When he'd left for work, he'd awakened me with a kiss.

Today, he hadn't set an alarm, so it was the perfect chance to return the favor. I crawled down the bed, kissing, nibbling, and sucking all the sensitive spots I knew until I found myself face-to-face with his massive cock. Even semi-hard, it was larger than anything I'd put in my human mouth. Thankfully, my kobold mouth was bigger, and he fit perfectly between my rows of sharp teeth.
