Page 62 of Hunting for her Heart
I try to think about the grimclaw chasing Willow, the man who chased her down in the forest, the group of men who’d been slaughtered by the beast. I let out a deep breath as the pain of my cock straining for release lessens.
“Feed our mate. I’m gonna get rid of this hide,” I tell the others as I pick up the grimclaw’s leftover pelt. There is no time to prepare it out here; otherwise, I would have used it to make Willow some sturdy, beautiful clothes. But I don’t have the right tools for it, either.
Bo helps to move the traps aside for me and resets them as I leave. It’s still raining lightly, and when I jump down to the forest floor, I hurry into the trees, determined to put a good distance between this pelt and our cave. I still can’tbelieve how fast that grimclaw found us from the scent of a dead animal.
I won’t make that mistake again.
Making sure I know my way back, I twist and turn, not wanting to lead anything that might track this scent in a straight line back to the cave.
After half an hour, I decide I’ve gone far enough, dumping the pelt at the base of a tree and starting to head back, taking a slightly different path this time. The rain has finally stopped, but the sound of rain dripping off the leaves makes it harder to hear predators.
I keep my ears and eyes peeled for any sort of enemy, beast or man, as I quietly move through the trees, but my mind moves to my little mate.
Last night and this morning had been better than I ever imagined. Seeing her reach the height of her arousal, crumbling from our touch, is indescribable.
I always knew that if I was ever blessed enough to be given a mate, she would be what I lived and breathed for. But now I’ve met her? She’s even better than I imagined. Not only is she the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen, but her heart is pure and kind. Our people will love her.
I just hope she chooses us. We’ll do everything we can to help her find her sister, even if that means not going back to Redmere. But I really hope it doesn’t come to that. I am still the chief, and I would hate to make my people suffer. I also won’t force Willow to go there if she doesn’t want to.
We only have two more nights to convince her to stay with us. And if they are anything like last night, then we may have a chance.
Just thinking about the taste of her has my cock throbbing once more. I stop walking to lean against a tree,bending at the waist as I try to think of something to make it go down. But it’s no use, all I can picture is her pretty pink pussy.
I do a quick glance around and listen, but there’s no one else around. I quickly undo my shorts, pulling them down just far enough that I can free my throbbing cock.
Wrapping my hand around it, I moan quietly. Fuck, I need a release so bad. There is no way I can handle being back in the cave with her without it. I’m sure that’s what took Bo and Hawk so long earlier.
I don’t have the luxury of someone watching my back right now, so I need to be quick. I lift my palm and spit on it, using that to lubricate my hand so it glides more easily. I rest my other hand on the trunk of the tree in front of me, taking my weight so I don’t fall.
I stroke myself softly at first as I picture her sweet little body. Then, when I picture her pussy, I start moving faster, picturing myself fucking it. I grunt, feeling my balls tighten as my orgasm approaches.
And when I think about how fucking her will cement the mate bond, how it will make us never want to be apart, I come hard. Ribbons of seed spill from my cock, covering the base of the tree and the ground. I grunt through it until there’s nothing left, then carefully tuck myself away.
I step back from the tree as I do up my shorts, finally feeling the tiniest bit satisfied. Then something wet sprays me in my face and everything goes black.
Chapter Nineteen
Willow
“He should have been back by now!” I say for the tenth time as I pace back and forth.
“Willow, you need to calm down. It’s only been a few hours,” Bo says, trying to step in front of me to get me to stop.
“But what if he’s hurt?”
“Ronan can take care of himself,” he reminds me.
“But there was no one with him to watch his back. Why has he been gone so long?”
“I’m sure he wanted to take the pelt far from our cave. Maybe he saw people on his way back and is trying to avoid them so he doesn’t lead them back here.”
I fold my arms over my chest, not liking that he’s being logical when all I want to do is go out there and find Ronan. At first, I wasn’t worried at all. Bo and Hawk helped clean me up and get me dressed, then they fed me. Then we checked out all the new growth throughout the cave.
But now? Now I can't sit still. I can’t focus on anything other than why Ronan isn’t back yet.
“How about a swimming lesson while we wait?” Bo suggests, but I shake my head.
“I’m not in the mood for it right now.”
