"Arms up, Red," Sloane said, holding my nightgown up so that he could slip it over my head. Once I was covered back up, the ache between my legs became more prominent as I scooted down to the chair.
"I'll be one hundred percent once I get some coffee," I hinted, a cheesy smile on my face.
"I got you, sweetheart," Fischer told me, moving towards the kitchen with purpose.
"What's rut?" I asked Sloane without removing my eyes from Fischer as he prepared the coffee.
"Ah... I think maybe Kaito should explain, he'll be able to do it better than I could since pyros don't experience that," Sloane informed me and I tried hard not to push, but that was... it had been like he was trying to burrow his dick into my womb, and surprisingly that thought made me feel smug as hell, like I had some ownership over this shifter, that my body could do things to his that no other person had done before. A whisper sounded in my head, a single word,mine.
My body suddenly felt warm and needy. Not a sexual way, but Ineededto see my shifter. Rising from my chair, I moved to leave the kitchen, vaguely hearing Fischer asking if everything was alright. Voices were carrying down the stairs and I drifted up them like Sleeping Beauty being called to the damn needle.
"How long have you known? You could've hurt her, Kaito!" Cam's voice boomed as my fingertips trailed along the handrail.
"I'd never hurt her!" Kai snarled.
Pushing open my bedroom door, I found the two mages chest to chest, big dick energy making me suck in a breath.
"Alpha," I breathed, my limbs beginning to tremble.Where the hell had that come from?
Both men turned their heads toward me at the same time.
"Oh fuck, Cub." Kai left Cam standing where he was and pulled me against him. My heart fluttered at the name.
"I need, I need—" I whimpered, not knowing what I needed, just that I needed something fromhim.
"Hush, Cub. I know what you need. You need your Alpha to praise you, Cub. Need to feel me close, isn’t that right?" Kai's hand ran down my hair, petting me in soothing strokes before scooping me up with his arm locked under my knees and walking us over to the bed. He laid me down gently and slipped in right beside me, his arms engulfing me, my cheek pressed against his chest.
Cam disappeared into the bathroom before returning and handing a rag to Kai. I couldn’t really focus on what he was doing though, the shaking was overtaking my body. The door clicked shut and I guess Cam decided to take off and give us some privacy.
"What is this, Kai? What's happening?"
"You did so good earlier, Cub. You took your Alpha like a queen," he told me, his hand running up and down my back, the trembling beginning to subside with each word of praise he showered me with. He pushed my hair over my shoulder, eyes flashing when he saw the bite mark on my neck. “Look at you with my mark. Fuck,” he purred, leaning in and running his tongue over the wound, and I shivered as he kept licking me.
"Gonna clean you up so good, little Cub,” he swore, his lips and tongue making my belly clench with need. “A more captivating woman has never existed, the way I feel when I'm buried deep inside you, it's like I've always belonged there, Cub. It's like your body was made just for my cock, I've never felt anything as exquisite as your wet pussy clenching me, urging me to mark you with my cum and my teeth."
A little moan left my mouth and my thighs clenched, his cum slowly leaking from me and making a hell of a mess on my thighs, but I reached down and slid my fingers through it, pushing it back inside of me. “Fucking hell, that is the number one hottest thing I’ve ever seen,” he breathed in awe. His words had elation pumping through my body, I felt cherished, special, and needed.
Kai began purring contentedly, his hands caressing, his tongue never ceasing, and the panic and urgency I'd felt when he'd left me in the kitchen dissipated completely.
"Alpha," I whispered, pulling back to look into his eyes. "Are you mine?"
"Oh, little Cub, I was born to be yours," he declared fiercely, his hand pulling my face to his so that he could kiss me and seal his promise.
“Saige, listen… we need to talk,” Kai’s voice was soft and comforting, but those were not words a girl wanted to hear from her man, so of course, I startled upright and he followed.
“What’s wrong?” I questioned, trying to keep the anxious tone to a minimum. I mean, he’d just told me he was mine, so what could he possibly want to talk about?
“Nothing’s wrong, come here.” He pulled me onto his lap so that my legs wrapped around his hips, our chests flush against one another. Kai gently lifted my chin so he could stare into my eyes before leaning in and dropping sweet kisses on my mouth and moving to my jaw. “I should’ve talked to you sooner, but I had to be sure.” He purred in my ear and a shiver raced down my spine.
“Sure, about what?” I smiled softly, trailing my hands down his chest.
He leaned forward, pressing his forehead against mine, inhaling deeply. “You’re my mate, Saige Wildes.”
My eyes flicked up to his,his mate?
“But how can that be, Kai? I’m not a shifter.” I shook my head, trying to process this information, but from everything I knew of shifters, their mates pretty much always shared that affinity.
“It can happen. Fated mates on their own are a rarity, but there have been instances of shifter's being mated to different magically gifted individuals." His hands never stopped moving their circular motions over my back.
