Beauty Sleeps (Fairytale Shifter #2)(25)

“You shouldn’t have run in the woods without telling me.” I try to be stern, but my voice always softens when it comes to my mate.

“Are you saying you didn’t like the chase?” She pushes her hips up, pressing against my hard cock. She raises her eyebrows as if to prove her point.

“I’m always this way when I’m within ten feet of you. Don’t act surprised,” I growl low in my chest, leaning down and nipping at her neck again. This time when my teeth graze her skin instead of her fur, my need becomes stronger.

Gwen moans and turns her head to the side, exposing her neck fully to me. It’s her submission and invitation all at once. Sitting up on my hands and knees, I turn her over so she’s underneath me and in prime position. I have her smaller body caged under mine.

Shifter bodies naturally run warmer than humans, so the snow on the ground doesn’t hurt her hands and knees. The leaves make a soft bed beneath us, and being this far away from any humans, it’s as if we are in our own private world. I would never risk someone seeing my mate like this, and having her safe is my first responsibility.

“Present your body to me, mate. I want you.”

Gwen spreads her knees wider apart and lowers her shoulders slightly. The motion tips her ass higher in the air and exposes her * to me.

I breathe in through my nose, smelling her need, and my cock gets impossibly harder. For some reason she’s so much sweeter today. I noticed it this morning when I was waking her up with my mouth between her legs.

I grip her shoulder with one hand and keep the other hand pinned by her head, holding her steady. My cock is so hard it’s sticking straight out, leaking cum and ready to enter her. I feel the warmth of her opening kiss the tip, and I thrust hard inside her, filling her with all twelve inches of me at once.

There’s nothing tighter than her channel locking all around me.

“Fuck. Harder, Xavier,” she moans, pushing her ass against me.

Pulling out halfway, I thrust back into her, harder this time. Gripping her body tighter, I hold her in place as I f*ck her roughly. Her sounds of pleasure echo through the forest, and I give her everything she asks for.

Laying my body over hers, I grip her shoulder with my teeth as I rut into her. I reach around and my fingers delve between her thighs to find her wet clit. I’ve gotten to know exactly what my mate likes when it comes to sex, and I give her exactly what she desires most. I don’t tease her or make her beg. I only want to give her pleasure.

She clenches around my cock at the first touch, and my breath catches in my throat. I nearly spill inside her before she’s had her orgasm, and I bite down on her shoulder to help keep myself from going too soon.

I rub her clit in just the right way, and she moves her hips with me. After only a couple of strokes, she’s gripping me tightly and shouting out her release. She cums on my cock, coating me with her juices, and the scent has me going crazy. I’m barely able to make it two more pumps inside her before I hold her hips and cum inside her womb. Her * sucks my cum out of my cock, taking it into her body. I hold her to me as she catches her breath, letting the extra heat from my body warm and relax her.

Licking her shoulder, I seal the small wound I left, and I feel her giggle against me. “Why are you so happy today? And what is making you taste and smell so sweet?”

I press my nose against her warm skin and inhale deeply, closing my eyes. I sit up on my knees and pull her back to my chest, sitting her up with me. We are completely naked, our lower bodies still connected. In the woods, on our knees in this small meadow, it feels as if we are the only two people alive.

“I don’t normally taste so sweet?” I hear the teasing in her voice and smile against her skin, giving her another lick.

“You’re always the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted, but this morning you were different. I can’t stop scenting your skin.” To further my point, I rub my beard on her shoulder and neck, wanting the new sweet smell covering me.

She hums in pleasure, and I feel her * clench around my cock. “Do you need me again so soon, mate?”

“I always want you, Xavier.” Her body leans further into me, and I wrap my arms around her. “This is the perfect place.”

“For what, my love?” I ask, kissing her neck.

“To tell you that you’re going to be a father.”

I tense at her words, all the joy in my heart nearly bursting out of my chest. I’m speechless and overwhelmed with emotions. How do I form words? I knew this day would come, but I never thought I would feel so full of love when it happened.

I look down, seeing a drop of water land on Gwen’s shoulder, and she turns slightly, looking into my eyes. “I love you so much, Xavier. Thank you for giving me babies and making me so happy.”

“I love you.” It’s the only thing I can manage to say before Gwen reaches up and wipes away my tears. I can’t say anything else, so I press my lips against hers and try to say with my heart what I can’t verbalize.

My mate has shown me what love truly is and what it’s like to have a family again. It’s more than I ever dreamed possible, and I owe it all to her.

From the moment I laid eyes on Gwen, I knew she was special. And as I watched my beauty sleep, I hoped that one day she would be mine. As we make love, I whisper my words of devotion, telling her over and over all the ways I will worship her until my last breath.
