Page 14 of Monster's Obsession

The air in my lungs left me, tension draining in a rush that left me dizzy. I was content with her not being terrified of me and learning to care for me once we’d bonded and had more time, but her words made it sound like she was willing to accept me already.

Like she might be willing to mate a monster.

“Start making our nest. I’ll make a fire.”

It was the only response I could give her. Who was I to deny my omega?

The rain pouring down outside meant I wouldn’t be able to find dry wood out there, but there was enough scattered branches and leaves in the cave to scrape together a small fire. It wouldn’t last long, but it would be enough for her to create her nest.

I could hear her shuffling around behind me, trying to find the perfect spot. Omegas were particular about their nests, and since she was starting from scratch, I knew it might take a while for her to get settled enough for the next phase of her heat to kick in.

My cock throbbed in excitement, ready. I’d been ready since the first time I spotted my omega, and being patient now was difficult.

A spark finally caught, a little flame growing as I fed it the leaves before pushing it under the sticks and branches I’d stacked. As soon as I was sure it took, I turned around to look for my female.

Breath caught in my throat, balls drawing tight as a dribble of fluid left me at the sight I faced. She’d shucked her dress and laid it out to dry, every delicious inch of her exposed as she knelt on a blanket in the corner of the little cave. She’d pulled everything from the bag and had it scattered around her, eyeing each item before making her selection and working it into whatever mysterious pattern lay in her head.

Unable to resist the need to move closer, I shuffled to the edge of her circle but stayed silent as I watched her work, the dirt floor of the cave slowly disappearing beneath something far more inviting. The scent of her grew thicker until I could practically taste her with each breath, her sweetness making my mouth water.

“Blue pillow trimmed in grey.”

I jerked back as she thrust her hand toward me, issuing her command. It was clear she expected me to provide what she needed, and my gaze dropped to the items on the cave floor, darting around until I spotted the pillow at the farthest edge of her ring. Snatching it up, I dusted off the dirt clinging to the bottom side before pressing it into impatient fingers.

My heart pounded as she ran a hand over it before bringing it to her nose. She honored me by allowing me to help with her nest, and every bit of me tensed in anticipation of rejection despite it being what she’d asked for.

Time slowed, dragging on until she finally sighed and placed the pillow near the top of her oblong creation. It hardly looked large enough for the two of us, and another pang lanced through my chest as I realized how little she had left to add. I’d brought everything I’d taken from her home, but the layer of rushes she’d had beneath the bedding had been too large to carry, and she was having to use her supplies to cushion the ground.

Swallowing a growl of irritation, I sat and watched as she worked the last few things into the nest, asking me for items thatwere out of her reach. It looked nothing like the one she’d had in her home and worry began to creep in. It might be irritating for me if she didn’t like the nest, but it could be truly distressing for her, and I didn’t want her suffering because I’d waited too long to take her and hadn’t been able to get her to my home first.

Rising to all fours, she moved into the middle of the nest, pushing at the blankets and re-tucking pillows as she turned in a circle. My worry grew as she pulled and kneaded, until she finally laid down in the center, a soft hum tickling my ears as she held a hand toward me.

“Come.”

It didn’t matter that I was the alpha and she was giving me orders. It was the way it was meant to be in the nest, and I obeyed, carefully crawling on top of the bedding until my body hovered over hers.

She let out a sweet sigh when I tucked my nose into her neck, her hands coming up to stroke my chest.

“You’re so warm.”

She pressed her cheek to my shoulder, rubbing her face against my fur.

“And soft.”

I chuckled until a quiet trill rose from beneath me, the little omega purring as her hands explored more of my body. The sound had me going stiff, scared to even breathe and risk interrupting her.

The purr went on, the female beneath me growing bolder as I finally drew in another breath. Sweet slick perfumed the air, making my shaft twitch where it hung between us.

Small fingers wrapped around my tip, and I reared back to look down at her as her purr morphed into a whine.

“I need.”

Those two words pulled a rumble from my chest that was somewhere between a growl and a purr of satisfaction. Theyyanked me from the soft thoughts filling my head back into the primal lust I’d been denying so long.

“Whatdo you need, omega?”

My voice was gravelly as I let my nose touch her temple and trail over her cheek to dip down her throat. I extended my tongue when I reached her shoulder, licking over the juncture where I’d lay my mark to claim her.

Goosebumps rose along her flesh as she shivered, hips rising in offering. Continuing my trail down her soft body, beaded nipples called to me, insisting I pull them into my mouth to tease with the edge of teeth.
