Khan (Bowen Boys, #2)(55)
~~~
Khan stood on the deck and waited for her. He was excited and knew that she was as well. When she wrapped her arms around him from behind, he put his hands over hers and held her.
“We’ll need to be naked to keep us from having to enter the house without our clothes. We can shift with clothes on, but it tears them from us. We’ll go out beyond those trees to do it.” He felt her nod. “To shift, all you need to do is think about her coming to you. It won’t hurt you. Maybe a slight discomfort the first time because she won’t know what to do either. But when you want to shift back, just think of your human self and she’ll flow over you like the cat will.”
He could feel her nervousness and waited. He knew she had questions and would have many more after this. Khan was nervous too. He loved her and didn’t want her to be afraid.
“Will she hurt you?” He started to laugh, but was glad he didn’t when she continued. “She is making me think that she wants your blood. I don’t know what that means really other than she wants to hurt you for whatever reason.”
“She does. Not mine really, but my cat’s. She wants to bond with him as much as mine does yours. They need to mark each other, and bloodletting and the scarring after is a way to show the world of other cats that we belong to each other.” He turned to look down at her. “Are you ready?”
She nodded, and they walked hand in hand toward the trees. When she started to undress, she asked him another question. This one made him pause.
“When will I be in heat? Caitlynne said that’s what it’s called. She told me that you would know and that it happens four times a year.” She glanced at him as she pulled off her pants. “I want a baby with you.”
“Once you are in heat the first time, we’ll both know when you’re going into your time afterwards. When we have a child, you’ll cycle around again, and we’ll have to time it.” When he was naked, he stood before her, his cock hard and aching. “When do you want to have a baby, Monica? Do you want to wait awhile?”
Naked, she came to him and wrapped her arms around him. When he cupped her ass and brought her flush against him, she lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist. He rolled her over his cock several times, her juices coating him. He pressed her against the nearest tree and took her mouth. If they kept this up, they were never going to make it to the forest.
“I want a baby as soon as we can,” she said against his throat. “The next time we are in heat, I want you to give me your child.”
Khan lifted her up and brought her down hard onto his cock. She purred and he nearly came from the feeling it gave him. Moving in and out of her quickly, he brought her to a quick peak before setting her down and away from her. When she reached for him, he stopped her.
“No. I want to come inside of you as a cat. I want to take you to the ground and f*ck you from behind. Shift for me, Monica. I want to see that beautiful cat of yours.”
He watched her struggle with it. Khan knew that he could call her cat, but he also knew that it was painful that way, and he wanted her first experience to be as wonderful as he could make it, as they could make it. As she started to shift, her arms stretching and her fur beginning to appear, he watched as she went from a beautiful woman to an even more beautiful cat.
He dropped to his knees as she moved toward him. “Christ, baby, you’re gorgeous. I’ve never seen a lovelier cat.”
He rubbed her behind her ears and was rewarded with a deep purr. When she pawed at him, he let her take him to the ground and played with her. When she backed off, he stood up and watched her as he, too, shifted.
Their connection was immediate. He’d never been able to connect with her verbally as a human and hoped that her being a cat would help them. When she took off running ahead of him, he let her. They were safe here, and he promised himself that when they were home, he’d teach her that she had to keep up with him. There were predators even on their own land. When he felt her fear, he realized she’d gotten too far ahead and leapt after her.
“Stay back. He might hurt you.” She had a large grizzly cornered and he wasn’t thrilled about it. “I said to stay—”
When she sat down and cocked her head at the bear, he dropped down to his four paws as well. They seemed to be having a conversation, and Khan sat down as well. Daniel had asked to use this land too when he was in town and apparently had been given permission.
“He said that he knows me. He said that I contacted him when I was hurt.” She looked back at him. “He’s a human.”
“Technically, he’s a werebear. And yes. He called the house and told me that you’d contacted him when you were hurt. He helped us find you when we did.” Khan shivered when he thought of finding her as he had. “He’s one of the good guys.”
“So he says. He said that he can whoop my ass if I try to tackle him. Is that true?”
Khan stood up and looked at the giant of a bear. He had to weigh in at least seven hundred pounds. Her cat was probably a quarter of that if that much, and only because she was a were and not a regular panther.
“I think you can take him.” She must have told Daniel what he said, because he growled at him. “But not today. We have plans.”
He took off in the opposite direction of Daniel, and he knew that she followed him. He took her to a place he’d discovered a few days ago before all this had happened. As soon as he saw it again, he knew that she’d love it as well.
