Page 34 of Their Crowned Mate
"You're fucking gorgeous," he breathed in a tone of awe as I let my eyes travel down his body. His strong, muscular chest and his sculpted abs. His stiff cock was pressed against my stomach, and my mouth watered at the thought of tasting him.
"You're pretty hot yourself," I said, surprised at how comfortable I was with him when I'd once been so bashful I hadn't even noticed how nervous he was around me outside of retrospect.
He set me down gently, until both my feet were on the stone floor of the shower, and reached down to cup my pussy in his palm. The heat of his touch made me moan and I wrapped my arms around his neck, grinding against his hand.
"Good girl," he purred, slipping a finger into me. I was already slick, and the water helped. I bit my lip to bite back a moan as he dipped his finger deeper into my pussy, finding my spot in no time. I was grateful to have him to hold onto, since my knees were turning to jelly all of a sudden as he stroked me.
He kept up the rhythmic teasing until I was panting and moaning, his name on my lips. My body quaked with pleasure as he continued to work me over until finally I let out a loud cry and shuddered in his arms, coming hard against his hand.
Aurelius pulled back to look at me with a satisfied smirk and leaned forward to kiss me tenderly on the lips. "Let's get you to bed," he said softly, lifting my still quivering and limp body into his arms before turning off the shower.
He crushed his lips to mine as soon as we made it back to the bed, and I lost myself in his kiss as we explored each other more deeply now that we were no longer held back by the risk of discovery. I moaned as I felt his hands glide over my body, mapping out every curve. His tongue tasted sweet against mine, a lingering reminder of our time together in the shower.
His mouth moved from my lips to my neck and down to my breasts, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine as he nipped and sucked at them. He explored further down until he was between my legs. I tensed in anticipation as he slipped his tongue inside me, licking and teasing in all the right places. My back arched as he brought me closer to another orgasm, his fingers working their own magic as he fingered me to an even more intense pleasure while continuing to lick and suck my clit.
When I came again, my body shaking with pleasure as I cried out, Aurelius pulled back and looked at me with a satisfied grin. His gaze was filled with love and admiration that made my heart swell. He kissed me tenderly one last time before pulling away and laying on top of me, positioning himself between my legs. They fell open for him naturally, and I wrapped my arms around his strong neck, eager for more.
He entered me slowly, inch by inch, careful to make sure I was ready for him. His thrusts were slow and gentle at first as he filled me completely, his hands coming up to cup my face as he kissed me again. He moved faster and deeper until he was thrusting into me with a passionate intensity that made my breath quicken.
I held onto him tightly as we moved together in perfect harmony, our breathing labored as we both reached the peak of pleasure simultaneously before collapsing onto the bed in a sweaty heap. I gasped his name as I felt him come inside me, his seed filling me with each hot, dizzying pulse. My primal instincts were going wild, and I could tell from the way he was growling into my neck as he dug his fingers into my hips that his were, too.
"Fuck," he growled. "You're so tight."
"Please," I purred, feeling his knot swelling at the base of his cock. As filled as my pussy was, I was still longing for more and I found myself rocking my hips for it.
"You're sure you want me to knot you?" he asked, looking down at me with an expression that made it clear just how difficult he found it to hold back.
"Yes," I breathed, sounding more desperate than I intended. But I really couldn't bring myself to care. What did it matter if he knew how badly I wanted him? He was mine now and there was no point in pretending otherwise.
A knowing look crossed his eyes as he nodded and pressed forward, pushing his knot inside me. There was a moment of intense pleasure as our bodies connected fully. He was still rock hard even though we had both just come, and despite me coming multiple times, I was still as wound up as if I was in heat.
Sex with an alpha shifter was always something.
"Oh, fuck," Aurelius growled, driving deeper into me as my pussy sealed around the base of his knot, locking us together. It was the size of a softball, stretching me open so wide it ached, but the pleasure was too intense for me to be offput by it. If I was being honest with myself, I enjoyed the delicious pain of being stretched by his knot just as much as everything else.
I clenched down on him, making his eyes roll back in his head and sending a wave of pleasure through him that only increased the intensity of our joining. His hips rocked against mine as he moved, each thrust pushing us both higher and higher until we finally came crashing down together once again, panting heavily as our bodies trembled with pleasure.
He collapsed on top of me, his hand tangled in my hair and his face buried in my neck, both of us panting for breath. I could feel his heart pounding against my breasts, his pulse sure and steady. "I always wondered what it would feel like to knot you," he murmured, his voice husky with arousal.
"Oh?" I asked, breathing a sigh of deep satisfaction. "How does it live up to expectations?"
"Better than I ever could have imagined," he said, kissing me again.
I slipped my hands into his dark red hair, which was just as silky now that it was starting to dry, falling over the both of us like a veil. "Plenty more where that came from," I assured him. Even if I doubted we were going to get any more one-on-one moments anytime soon, sharing would be plenty fun as well, and I intended to prove that to him.
He pulled back just enough that I could look into his eyes. There was something about the way he looked at me in that moment, as if nothing else mattered but me and him being together like this. It made my heart swell with love and I felt myself smile even though there were no words to be spoken. We gazed at each other for what felt like an eternity, reaffirming our feelings without needing to say a single thing.
But the words were even sweeter when he finally said them.
"I love you, Lavinia," he said softly.
I gazed at him, taking in his words as my heart swelled. "I love you, too," I said, feeling the intensity of those words like a physical force. And in that moment, everything felt right in the world.
No matter how much uncertainty lay ahead of us, it was like the final piece of the puzzle had finally clicked into place. I had Cole, Marcus, and Alexander—and now, I had Aurelius, too. My past, present, and future, all wrapped around me like a warm blanket. And I didn't have to give up any of them.
They were all mine, each in their own way. Each perfect for me. And I wanted to be the perfect mate for them. Considering the adoration in their gazes whenever they looked back at me, like Aurelius was doing now, I was.
