“I feel beautiful when you look at me like that.”
“Are you ready to be mine forever?”
“Forever?”
“Yes, because in this life or the next, I refuse to share you. Once we solidify this bond, as humans say, for better or worse, you are not getting rid of me. However, if you still need time, there is no need to hurry. I am not going anywhere.”
After the shet I have pulled with her, if she needs more time, it is hers.
Kallen’s hands slide up to my face, the look in her eyes so fierce, so certain that I almost forget to breathe. “Ruarc, I have never wanted anything the way I want you.” Her hands trace the scars that cover the upper part of my body like she is trying to erase the pain they caused.
Lifting myself slightly, I position my hips in line with hers. Taking my member in hand, I rub it against her silken flesh, using her slick to lubricate my cock. “Look at me my mate, watch us come together and become one.” I line my turgid shaft up with her delicate opening and carefully begin pushing inside of her untried body. The hot, tight clasp is so intense that I must grit my teeth against the overwhelming sensation so that I do not embarrass myself by performing like an untried youth.
Without warning, the mate bond clicks into place, and the sensation of flames lick across my chest and down my arms. A gasp escapes Kallen’s lips, and when I glance back down at her, the mate collar has expanded, looking exactly like I imagined. There is a wide band across her chest with symbols and lines that flow all the way to her fingers, which are now tracing our matching marks. She gazes up at me as if I am her entire world; someone she has trusted enough to finally give her heart to.
Kallen smirks at me before she wraps both legs around my hips and catches me off guard as she uses her hold on me to yank my body flush against hers. The action fully seats me deep within her, and we both moan at the sensation of being totally connected to one another. Pausing for a tic, I ensure she is comfortable before I begin thrusting in a slow, steady rhythm that has her undulating beneath me. This connection between us is more than physical, it is a true declaration of love. As I move inside of her, I am thoroughly enjoying every sound that I wring from her mouth. The moment her body finally relaxes,accepting me as if she were made just for my hands, a surge of possessiveness overwhelms my senses, and for a tic, everything goes red.
“Ruarc?”
The sound of her voice anchors me, but I can no longer hold back. My deep, measured strokes speed up until I am thrusting into her until I bottom out, and her hips are lifting to meet mine thrust for thrust. Adjusting my angle slightly, I make sure my hard length is rubbing the sensitive spot deep inside her channel, and she cries out in pleasure at the deep sensation. Her back arches up off the platform as she chases her release, and her inner muscles clench around me. Fighting against my base desire to take her roughly, I keep my strokes precise, ensuring she feels nothing but pleasure. This is more than just mating; this is two souls melting together to become one in a dance for all time. The universe narrows down to right now, to this connection, to this feeling of completion.
My hand slides between us, not stopping until it finds the sensitive bundle of nerves it seeks. Using my thumb, I circle her pleasure button as I thrust in and out of her tight folds until I feel the telltale flutter of her impending release. One more flick of her sensitive nubbin, and her body clenches down on mine with so much pressure that my eyes roll back in my head and I lose sight of her in ecstasy. The feel of her falling apart in my arms pushes me over the edge, and my own release tears through me as I bellow out my completion.
Catching myself on my elbows, I lean my forehead against hers as we both pant, our breaths heavy with exertion. A small, flickering light bounces around us, almost as if it is happy, and I see Kallen smile before mouthing, ‘Thank you,’ but I am not sure if she is talking to me or the light. Shrugging it off, I decideit does not matter. She is my mate, our bond is sealed, and she is safe in my arms. Shifting places with her, I roll until I am lying with my back against the platform and pull her on top of me, my shaft still a solid presence within her tight clasp.
“I will forever mourn the amount of time we missed doing this because I was an ass. Never have I felt anything like this. You have stolen my hearts. I love you, my Starshine.”
A blindingly bright smile lights up her entire face as she beams at me with nothing short of an awe-inspiring depth of love before she utters. “I will cherish them in this life and the next. I love you too, my mate.”
Peace, unlike any I have ever known, washes over me as I lie there with Kallen draped over my chest. The gods have blessed me not only with my beloved Starshine but also with the return of my lifegiver and a new sister. Most of my brothers are happily mated, and we now have a set path where before we spent so much time aimlessly wandering. I send a prayer out, thanking the Gods of Ruk for the blessings bestowed upon my family, for the ones answered and the ones that were not. This is just the beginning of a new path that lies before me, but I am anxious and excited to see where it leads us next.
THE END
