I take in her fine dress, and I scrutinize her face, thinking about what Kal said earlier about us not being right about things. I have a feeling she won't tell me anything, so I don't ask. Instead, I calm myself and the beast further by breathing in her scent and running my hands up and down her arms lightly. A part of me is questioning if this is real. I’ve been parted from her for so long.
The beast feels the same. It's pacing through my thoughts, wanting to claim her as our own here and now so everyone will know she’s ours. I don’t want to scare her, but I can't help it as my cock grows beneath her.
I know when she feels it because she freezes and glances up at me. But she doesn't stop me as I move her dress out of her way, impatient to be inside her. As I open my breeches, I fist my cock, letting out a groan. She shifts over me, straddling me so we're face to face and her legs are wide.
‘Please,’ she whispers.
I slip my staff through her folds, feeling the wetness. She's already more than ready for me. She lets out a small cry against my chest as I push up into her, her eyes fluttering closed. She begins to move on me, but I grip her hips to stop her.
'No,' I growl. 'Just let me feel you.'
With my arms around her, we sit in the chair, neither of us moving. I feel her hot cunt around me, and for the first time, perhaps in my life, I feel like I'm home. I’m complete. It’s as if everything I’ve ever done has been leading up to this moment. For once, the beast is completely content and silent. It’s the calmest I’ve felt since it manifested all those weeks ago.
She looks and feels thinner, I realize, and neither I nor the beast like that at all. I open the small pack I thought to bring with me and take out the food I brought. I unwrap the meat and offer her a morsel from my fingers. She looks confused, but she takes it, her lips curling delicately around it.
I watch her chew and swallow, and then I feed her the rest of it slowly with my cock still hard and resting within her. The beast practically prances with joy that we’re providing for our female, and I’m not far behind. Though, as I look around at the sparse room and the waning fire and add that to the new leanness of Lia’s body, I’m beginning to see what Kal spoke of before. She isn’t being treated here as we thought she’d be.
Before long, Kal returns. He smirks when he sees her sitting on my knee, and I scowl at him.
'She's lost weight,' I state, my tone cold.
He looks at Lia, who won’t meet his eyes. ‘He should be told everything.’
Lia seems to ignore him, instead rolling her hips as if to remind me that my cock is inside her and, distracted by her for a moment, I grin. As if I’d forget. But I grasp her thighs before she can do any more.
'No,' I say quietly.
She gives me a questioning look, and I kiss her lips gently.
'Not this time,' I say, glad when the beast agrees.
We will fuck our mate but not today.
I cup her cheek. ‘What does Kallum mean? What else don’t I know?’
Her lips curve downwards slightly, and she rises off me, swallowing hard. She gives me a frustrated look, and I know what she wants, but again, I shake my head even though I’d love nothing more than for her to return to her position. I put my straining cock away as she sits on the chair across from me, promising myself that I’ll relieve the pressure later.
'Did you find Dane?' I ask Kal, deciding to change the subject until Lia’s ready to tell me what’s going on.
'Yes, I found him. He's made sure no one will know that we were there.’
‘Where did you go?' Lia asks.
'To Varrik's library.'
Her eyes narrow a little. 'What were you looking for?'
We glance at each other, and Kallum shrugs. ‘If we trust each other, we should be open,’ he mutters.
I nod slowly. ‘I agree.’
‘A few things.’ Kallum sits down. 'We were looking for charts on the Breach so that we can plan our escape,’ he glances at me, ‘and the clearing of the fold. We were looking for places to take you that are safe. And we were looking for information.’
‘About what?’ she asks.
‘Boxes.’
'Boxes?'
