“Don’t be a sissy… invite our mate into our cave.” She purrs inside of my head.
“It’s not a damn cave, it’s a bedroom,” I inform my cat. She begins sending me images of Lux and I wrapped in each other’s arms with passion igniting the sheets. “Stop that,” I beg her. That image has my legs criss crossing in an attempt to ease the ache from my center, even I can smell the desire permeating through the air from my sexual desires. I watch as Lux’s nose begins sniffing and his manhood stiffens.
“Oh, mate, you’re calling to my leopard. Be very sure that tonight’s the night, because once I claim you, there’s no turning back. You will forever be mine, always by my side. I’ll never let you go.”
“Yes please.” My chest begins to rumble with an intense purr.
“Fuck my stuff, I won’t be needing it for a couple of days,” Lux states as he prowls my way. And I do mean prowl, he has that look of a hunter whose found their prey. His eyes have that dark essence with the yellow ring brighter than it was earlier when we shifted. Wait a minute, did he just say a couple of days? Thank the good Lord that I have shifter healing abilities, otherwise I doubt I’d be able to walk or sit for weeks.
“Days, Lux?” I ask, wanting to make sure I heard him correctly.
“Days, Shelbi. And even that won’t be long enough to sate my hunger for you and your delectable body. My hands are itching to glide up and down those luscious curves of yours. My tongue is salivating to suck all the nectar from your pussy as you drip from orgasm after orgasm.”
“That many?” My eyes widen as my libido begins to work in overdrive. If his eyes are being truthful as he speaks these words, I’ll be one very happy lady.
“More,” he replies as he makes his way to me. We’re standing toe to toe, hip to hip, eyes never parting ways. “Are you ready to be mine, Shelbi?”
“Fuck yes,” I raspily respond. “Make me yours, mate.” Without another word said, he picks me up in his arms. My legs wrap around his waist and my hands take purchase in his hair. The nape of his neck is warm to the touch making me wonder what other parts of his body will feel like an inferno waiting to rupture. A volcanic explosion enters my head and I feel my center dampen as the images and pictures invade my mind space.
“Which room is yours?” he asks as we make it to the T of the hallway.
“I’m at the furthest end,” I supply. “The room by itself.”
“Good, at least the others are far enough away that I can swallow your unadulterated screams of ecstasy without being overheard. I can’t wait to explore the taste of your skin, mouth and pussy.”
“Has it suddenly gotten hot in here?” I ask, cupping my hand over my neck. “I swear it’s shot up at least ten degrees.”
“Your body temperature has gone up, but the house is at a perfect setting.” He sends me a sly grin. “I like that I make you hot, mate.” He walks us into my room and closes the door with his foot behind us. Slowly letting me down, he turns the lock on the handle. “Now, for the unveiling.”
Walking toward the edge of my bed I remove my top. As I go to sit down so I can remove my shoes, I see a letter addressed to me sitting on my pillow. It’s in Olga’s handwriting. And in bold letters it states read before mating. Ripping the sealed envelope apart, I pull the letter out and begin reading.
Shelbi,
I thought this may come up as a concern for you so I wanted to ease your conscience. The venom in your saliva will not inflict any sort of pain or paralyzation on your mate. He is the only one in the world who can withstand the anomaly in your bloodstream. He was made for you the way you were made for him. You both are exclusions to the other’s abilities and gifts. Enjoy each other, Helga and I are both happy for the two of you.
Forever my love,
Olga.
Tears stream down my face, because in the back of my mind, I’d been wondering how we’d complete the mating bond. I was going to hold my leopard back and not allow her to mark him until I had the sisters find a spell or potion to extract the paralyzing agent that’s strumming through my blood streamed veins. Lux grabbed the letter from me after taking in my look, he probably thinks something’s upset me, but that’s not the truth of the matter. I’m happy, excited and ecstatic that we can complete our bond the way it’s meant to be.
“You were really worried about this, weren’t you, Shelbi?” Lux asks me.
“I had put it to the back of my mind, Lux. I was going to lie and say I wasn’t ready for marking you yet, even though I am, but I wanted to ask Olga about it. I’d do anything to keep from hurting you in any way.”
“Does this letter from Olga help settle your worries?” he questions, concern etched on his face.
“It does, she’d never lie to me, Lux. Trust me, she tells things how they are and never holds back. Whether I like the answer or not, she’s never hesitated about being truthful.”
“We were made for one another, Shelbi. Helga would have warned me if our mating would’ve harmed either one of us. In any way. So now that there aren’t any worries holding us back, how about we get down to claiming each other.” He wiggles his eyebrows dramatically up and down at me.
The giggle that escapes me is foreign to my ears. I’ve never and I mean ever, laughed like this with anyone
