Page 46 of Bearly Bewitched

“Kaine,” Vail moaned loudly.

Kaine nipped at her nipple and then moved to the other breast.

“Quit teasing me, please.”

Kaine released her nipple and sighed. “Fine, but next time I’ll take my time.”

Vail looked apprehensive for a moment then laughed. She climbed off and shimmied her underwear to the floor, then climbed onto the bed and knelt next to his hip. Kaine felt her gaze as it traveled his body like a physical caress.

“Kaine, I do want to see both sides of you.”

Kaine felt his bear’s pleasure and knew his mate would make the perfect match for them. She was the missing piece in his life. He was dragged out of his thoughts when he felt the gentle caress on his thigh. “Touch me.”

Vail slowly moved her hand up his leg and he couldn’t control his muscles contracting at her touch. “Stars, you’re killing me.”

She murmured something and Kaine thought he was going to explode. The vibration of her lips, tongue, throat. Hell, he didn’t know which it was, but it felt so good. “Vail, come here. I need to kiss you.” Kaine pulled her up and she straddled his hips. He could feel her wet heat against him and he strained not to flip her over.

Vail leaned down and Kaine traced the seam of her lips until she opened and he sucked her tongue into his mouth. “Your turn’s over.” Kaine flipped them so he was on top and grabbed a pillow. “I’m not ready and you haven’t screamed yet.”

Vail got a gleam in her eye. “Make me.”

Kaine smiled and kissed his way down her body to her sex. “This is the sweetest honey a bear could find. I can’t wait to savor you.”

He leaned down and nuzzled his nose heated flesh. With a fast swipe of his tongue, he licked her clit and she jumped. “Oh, that’s a good start, my mate. But there’s a lot more to come.” Kaine swirled his tongue around her clit a few times then moved down to her slit. “You’re wet for me already.”

Vail moaned and Kaine’s cock throbbed, he licked up to her clit and back down a few times. He swirled his tongue aroundsaying things in his mind as if writing with his tongue. Each swipe had her panting harder.

When she was moaning even louder, he slowly inserted a finger and mimicked his tongue’s movements. After a few minutes, he added a second finger.

“Kaine, I’m so close,” Vail ground out.

“Scream for me and I’ll give you the best release you’ve ever had, beautiful little witch.”

Vail started to shake and Kaine took her clit into his mouth and sucked. She screamed. Kaine kissed his way up her body until his cock was nestled in the crook of her legs. He watched and waited for her to move. “Thank you, love, now the fun really begins.”

Vail smiled and wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her ankles. “Let’s go, handsome. Show me what you got.”

Kaine nudged her lips with his cock and slowly slid inside her warm sheath. “Oh damn, that…that’s amazing.”

Kaine waited a moment to savor being inside his mate for the first time, then pulled out and pushed back in. Vail tightened her legs around his waist, and he laughed. “Okay, sweetheart, you want to play?” Kaine grabbed her around the waist and scooted them off the bed. “Perk of being a bear…I can hold you easily.”

He walked them to the closest wall. “Ready for this, my love?” Vail nodded and let her head fall against the wall she now leaned on. “I’m going to hold you up, so relax your legs.”

Vail unlatched her legs and let him support her weight. Her body sank onto his more and he groaned. “Now, hold on tight.”

Kaine pulled out and slammed back into her core over and over. They were both becoming a sweaty mess. When Vail started to clench around him, he kissed her and pushed into her one last time, putting pressure on her clit. His mouth muffled her scream and his groans. A few minutes later, he let her legs drop to the floor but kept his arm wrapped around her waist.

FORTY-FIVE

Dawn painted Vail’s bedroom in soft rose gold when she first sensed the disturbance. Beside her, Kaine was already awake, his body tension-wire taut. His fingers traced idle patterns on her bare shoulder as he listened to something beyond human hearing.

“The wards?” she murmured, not wanting to break the lingering peace of their first morning together.

“Something’s wrong.” His voice rumbled low in his chest. “The forest is too quiet. Even the birds have gone silent.”

Before Vail could respond, magical alarms shrieked through the air. The remaining ward stones’ warning pulses lit the room in amber light. She bolted upright, sheets tangling around her waist as her magic instinctively flared in response.

Kaine moved with the fluid grace of a predator, already pulling on his clothes. His eyes had taken on that dangerous golden gleam that meant his bear was close to the surface. “I’ll check the perimeter. You?—“
