“About humans and their cycles,” he explains.
My cheeks heat in embarrassment. If he heard that, then he heard everything else we did that day. “You were there?” I ask in shock.
He swallows thickly. “I was worried and searching for you. I left as soon as I realized and I—”
I press my finger to his lips to silence him. “Why are you telling me this? What does what I told Nyx have to do with anything?”
“I will take great care to make certain you never become pregnant with my child. Most females not of my kind do not want cat shifter children, and I will never ask you to—”
I quiet him with a kiss. Wrapping my arms tightly around his neck, I hold him close. He groans as I curl my tongue around his, deepening our kiss.
When I pull away, I gently rest my forehead to his as I stare at him intently. “I would gladly bear a child to any one of you,” I tell him. A shy smile curves my lips as my cheeks flush with warmth. “With five of you, it’s inevitable that I will get pregnant someday.”
He shakes his head softly. “But I could be sure to remove myself from your body before I—”
“No.” I state firmly. “I want all of you. Isn’t that how it works anyway? To be sealed, I have to accept your essence deep inside me.”
He nods. “Yes, but I would be content just to have you, Ella.”
“But I wouldn’t be. I want everything you would give me, Devon.”
He wraps his arms tightly around me and captures my mouth in a claiming kiss. His mouth is warm, and he tastes of the forest as his tongue strokes against mine. He allows the illusion of his clothes to disappear, leaving him completely naked beneath me as he holds me in his lap.
His cock is a rigid bar against my core. Only the thin barrier of my clothing separates us.
His kisses become more urgent as his hands travel up and down my form. He grasps the neckline of my dress and pulls it down to reveal my bare chest. The fabric tears as he lowers it even further to cup my breast.
When he rips his mouth from mine, I already miss his taste. But when he closes his lips over my breast and begins an urgent suction, a low moan escapes me.
I thread my fingers through his hair, holding him close to me as he lavishes attention on my breasts with his mouth and his hands.
His touch is a bit rough compared to the others, but I find I don’t care. And when he lifts his eyes to stare up at me, his gaze is fiery and possessive, making the muscles of my core ache with want for him to fill me.
His nostrils flare, and he growls low in arousal. “I can scent your need, my mate.”
His hand trails up my thigh until he reaches the triangular scrap of material that covers me. I gasp as he fists it in his hand and tears it from my body.
He dips his fingers through my already slick folds. And as soon as he finds the small pearl of flesh at the apex, I throw my head back and moan out his name.
“You are perfect, Ella,” he growls. “And you are mine.”
“Yours,” I agree as I drag my nails down his back. “I want you, Devon. I want you inside me.”
Without warning, my head hits the pillow as he throws me back onto the bed. I only have a moment to be surprised before he lowers his head between my thighs and drags his tongue through my folds.
I inhale sharply, as he teases his tongue at my sensitive flesh and inserts one finger into my core. “So tight,” he moans against me. “I don’t want to hurt you when I take you.”
“You won’t,” I barely manage to breathe. “Devon, I—” My breath catches as pleasure coils so tightly within me it chases away all rational thought. Fire ignites inside me, and I arch up against him a moment before my release roars through me so intense I cry out his name.
I haven’t even caught my breath before his large hands grip my waist and flip me onto my stomach. He covers me immediately. The large crown of his cock bumps against my core as he bands an arm around my waist and drags me toward him.
His tongue traces along the curve of my neck and shoulder as he grazes his sharp fangs across my sensitive flesh. Arousal spikes through me.
“You are mine,” he growls against my skin. “My beautiful Ella.”
I release a choked cry as he sinks his fangs deep into my neck and thrusts his cock deep in my channel. Stars explode behind my eyes, and I moan as he begins pumping into me.
With his mouth clamped down on my neck and his arm wrapped up under my hips, he holds me in place as each stroke becomes deeper and more forceful. It’s almost more than I can take, and just when I think I’m going to come, he pulls me up to sitting as he continues to thrust up into me.
His grip is almost bruising on my hips as he growls against my neck. This new angle makes everything that much more sensitive as he sinks impossibly deeper inside me, stretching me almost to the point of pain but not quite.
I reach back and run my fingers through his hair while I grip his arm tightly with my other hand.
His hand moves from my hip to my mons, teasing the sensitive hooded flesh at the apex of my folds. It’s too much. My body goes tight as a bowstring, and I fall over the edge.
His cock pulses strongly. Intense heat erupts inside me as he fills me with his essence. The small muscles of my channel clamp down around him, pulling his seed deep into my womb as waves of pleasure
