He turns back toward the chopping block, slowly sliding my soft body against all of his hard muscle. Bastard knows what he's doing. I'm practically panting like a dog in heat.
“Stop teasing, Kier,” I whine.
He chuckles, setting my ass on the chopping block. Then, his mouth is on mine. I moan into his mouth, opening my lips to his tongues advances. He licks into my mouth as he groans with his own pleasure. Pulling back, he nips my lower lip and rests his forehead against mine. “I love you, Wren. My mate, my everything.”
I stare deep into those whiskey eyes I'm now so familiar with and speak my own truth. “I love you, too, Kiernan.” A low rumbling purr leaves his chest, vibrating through me as I continue. “My mate, my forever.” The words barely escape my lips before he's kissing me again.
Strong, callused hands slide up my thighs, bunching my floral sundress around my waist. “Mmm, sweet girl, where are your panties?” His voice drips to a low growl.
“What do I need panties for?” My cheeks heat as I look up at him through my lashes.
“Fuck, baby, you're killing me,” he groans. “Do we have time before Sydney gets here?”
I shrug, licking my bottom lip, then pulling it between my teeth. “Better hurry, Kier.”
“Brat.”
Suddenly, I'm turned and bent over the chopping block. Kiernan's chuckle resounds through the warm mountain air. A firm hand swats my ass, pain rippling through the sensitive flesh before turning to pleasure. My squeak of surprise trails off on a moan as Kiernan spanks my other ass cheek.
His hands turn gentle, massaging the abused flesh. Squeezing both cheeks as he spreads me open, exposing my dripping cunt to him.
Dark eyes sear into my skin.
“Mmm. So wet for me, aren’t you?” I shiver at the arousal lacing his deep voice.
His hands leave my skin and I hear the telltale sound of Kiernan's zipper lowering, then the nudge of his hard cock against my entrance. He slams into me. All the breath in my lungs leaving in a whoosh. My nails dig into the wood while Kiernan pounds into me savagely from behind.
His skin slaps against mine, his hips thrusting wildly. Our moans mixing to fill the air.
The sound of tires crunching on gravel comes from the front of the house. I freeze.
“Better come quick, sweet mate. You wouldn't want your little sister to catch you bent over while I rut into your wet cunt,” Kiernan’s husky voice whispers, his lips caressing the shell of my ear. He reaches around to pinch my clit once, twice, then I'm sailing over the edge, pure bliss burning through my veins.
“Yes, Kiernan,” I moan as he slams inside of me one final time, his knot still resting against my ass. We don’t have time to wait for it to deflate right now.Later, I promise myself. The warmth of his come makes my walls clench around his cock.
Kiernan drops a kiss to the side of my neck, on my mating mark, before pulling out and flipping my dress back in place. I smooth the fabric over my hips, straightening to a stand.
“Let's go get your sister,” he says, slapping my ass again for good measure.
I let out a giggle. “Let's.”
I turn and take his large warm hand in my smaller one, lacing our fingers together. And I know this is where I'm meant to be. This is my home.Forever.
Coffee mug in hand, I step outside, closing the sliding glass door behind me. Steam from my cup fills the air. This is my favorite time of day. The forest is quiet except for the chirping of songbirds. Bright rays of sunshine streak through the canopy of trees, causing shadows to dance in the slight summer breeze.
The seclusion and solitude I find in Cypress Valley are almost enough to keep the guilt at bay. Black tendrils of my past swirl in my mind, consuming me like a disease. My best friend’s scream ringing through my ears; I lost everything that day.
Needing to clear my head, I take a large inhale of the crisp mountain air. Except I'm nearly knocked flat on my ass by the scent that hits my nose.
The sweet perfume of fresh gardenias surrounds me. My bear lets out a deep rumbling purr, vibrating up through my chest.
She's here.
My mate.
