They’re all just so cute.

“Bite me, Pike. Make me yours and then fill me with your cum.”

I see his eyes flash, and I know I won. A second later, he’s bending over me, and I feel the sharp sting of his teeth as they sink into the back of my left shoulder, making me cry out as pain hits me.

It only lasts a moment, the pain quickly fading, replaced by a feeling of rightness so strong that it makes me see stars, and when he starts to fuck me with his teeth still buried in my skin, I lose it.

The burning in my chest that I’ve become used to hits its crescendo as I fall over the edge, taking Pike with me as he pulls his teeth free as he remains bent over me, murmuring about how fucking tight I am.

His fingers slowly loosen from around my throat, and his cock softens until he falls out. I feel his warm cum as it drips down my thighs, but I don’t bother wiping it away. Not only do I not have the energy, I also don’t have anything to wipe it with. Definitely need to head right back to the bathhouse.

The second Pike lets me go, I crumble to the ground, panting and exhausted but so fucking happy.

I look up at the sky, the stars so bright and so plentiful it almost looks fake. Pike’s face blocks out my view, the smile on his lips rivalling the stars as he looks down at me before gathering me up in his arms bridal style.

We’re both sweaty, and I’m pretty sure he’s making a bigger mess, his arm under my legs that are smeared with his cum. But he doesn’t seem to mind, so I don’t let it bother me either, instead melting into his hold, listening to the sound of his heart as it beats a steady rhythm under my ear. The warm weight of our new mate bond sits in my chest, making me feel whole in a way I’ve never felt before. Just like with the other bonds, I wonder how I ever lived without them.

I couldn’t do it now, not with what I know. Being with them has changed everything.

My shoulder still stings, but somehow, even though I can’t see it, I know it’s no longer bleeding. By tomorrow it will be a mark, though I have no idea what it will look like. It’s usually a mark ofthe pack, but Pike gave up his pack, something that I still worry he might regret one day.

I look up to find his eyes already on me, and despite what we just did and our nakedness, the way he looks at me is what makes me blush.

“I love you, Serena,” he says, and I swear my heart is going to burst.

“I love you too, Pike.”

“Aww, you guys are so sweet!” A voice calls from the shadows of the forest. Before I can even really process what’s happening, I’m on my feet again, Pike shoving me behind him, completely disregarding his own nakedness.

We look around, unsure where the voice came from. I’m not sure about Pike, but I don’t sense anyone. Which is why I’m shocked when Theo walks out from behind a tree not ten feet from us.

I let out a sigh of relief and watch Pike’s shoulders sag before he looks down at himself, his hands quickly moving to cover his dick.

With the cover Pike offers me, I turn on the spot, thankful that my eyes are good enough for this at least.

My eyes fall on something, and I’m not sure if it’s his shirt or pants, but it’s better than… this.

Theo has no shame as she watches me move to the discarded article of clothing and then back to hide behind Pike.

“Here.” I toss it over his shoulder, and he quickly catches it. Turns out it was pants, which he quickly pulls on murmuring a thank you.

It’s strange. Pike doesn’t normally have an issue with being caught naked. More often than not, I think he would prefer it, but something about this is different. Being caught after such a raw moment, something as intimate as bonding, makes it feel weird to have her eyes roaming over us.

“What can we do for you, Theo?” I ask, hoping to distract from our current situation. My cheeks are so warm I bet she can see how red they are even in the dark.

The idea that Theo, or anything else, watched Pike and me has me feeling a bit embarrassed, and that’s only made worse when I realize I have no clothes with me.

Thankfully, Pike had clothes on when I started this whole chase me in the woods thing. We just had to find them scattered around the forest floor where we tossed them…

Pike took his pants, offering me his shirt once he found it, and for once I’m glad for my smaller size as it falls to my knees. I don’t have shoes or underwear, but at least everything is covered, mostly.

Theo skips in front of us, and Pike hasn’t left my side or released my hand since we started walking. I can’t blame him, though; not only does our fresh mate bond have me ready to jump his bones all over again, but these woods are creepier when you’re not being chased through them with the prospect of being fucked.

As if he can hear my thoughts, Pike conjures a little fireball in his hand. It’s not a lot, but enough that I flinch. A reaction I can’t seem to kick despite the fact that I’m not really afraid of fire anymore.

“Shit, sorry.” Pike quickly extinguishes the flame, his eyes full of concern as he looks me over.

“It’s fine,” I tell him, giving his hand a squeeze, so he knows I’m serious. “It was just a knee-jerk reaction.”
