The burn faded gradually, replaced by a fullness that bordered on divine. I nodded for him to continue, and he pressed forward with agonizing slowness, each inch stretching me wider than I’d thought possible.
When he finally bottomed out, we both groaned in unison. I felt impaled, completely filled in a way I’d never experienced before. His cock pulsed inside me, and I could feel every twitch, every throb.
“Fuck,” he whispered breathlessly. “You’re so tight around me. So much better than anything else I’ve ever had.”
He began to move with shallow, careful thrusts, his eyes never leaving my face as he watched for any sign of discomfort. But there was only pleasure now, building with each slow drag of his cock against my insides. I’d never felt anything so incredible in my entire life.
“More,” I demanded, digging my heels into his lower back. “You won’t hurt me, Karrick. I was made for you.”
His eyes flashed with something primal at my words, and a deep growl rumbled through his chest. “Phoenix,” he breathed, his voice thick with need as he began to thrust more deliberately, each movement driving him deeper inside me.
I clung to him, my fingers tangling in his fur as wavesof pleasure crashed through me. The mate bond between us seemed to amplify every sensation, creating a feedback loop of desire that left me gasping for breath. I could feel him everywhere, not just physically inside me, but somehow in my very soul.
“That’s it,” I encouraged, watching his expression shift between concentration and ecstasy. “Take me, Karrick. Make me yours. Mark me.”
He growled again, his pace increasing as his massive hands gripped my hips, angling me so that each thrust hit that perfect spot inside me. Stars exploded behind my eyes, and I cried out, my cock throbbing untouched between us.
“Mine,” he rumbled, leaning down to nuzzle against my neck, his hot breath sending shivers across my skin. “My mate. My Phoenix.”
His tusks grazed my shoulder, and I instinctively tilted my head, offering him better access. “Yes,” I gasped, understanding suddenly what needed to happen. “Take me, Karrick. Make me yours.”
His rhythm faltered for just a moment as he raised his head to meet my gaze, his brown eyes searching mine. “Are you sure?”
“I’ve never been more certain of anything,” I whispered, reaching up to caress his face. “I want to be yours in every way possible.”
That was all the permission he needed. With a growl that seemed to come from the very depths of his being, he buried himself fully inside me and sank his teeth into the juncture between my neck and shoulder, not hard enough to draw blood, but firmly enough to leave his mark.
The sensation triggered something deep within me. Heat exploded through my body, and I felt magic surge between us. His beast nature and my witch power were intertwining, creating something new and powerful. My back arched off the blankets as pleasure beyond anything I’d ever experienced ripped through me.
“Karrick!” I screamed, my untouched cock erupting between us, painting both our chests with hot stripes of cum.
He growled against my skin, his hips jerking erratically as my inner walls clenched around him. With a final, powerfulthrust, he buried himself to the hilt and found his own release, filling me with his hot seed. I could feel every pulse, every throb as he emptied himself inside me.
For several moments, we remained locked together, our bodies trembling with aftershocks. The connection between us felt tangible now, a golden thread binding us together that I could almost see when I closed my eyes.
Karrick carefully withdrew his tusks from my shoulder, licking the marks tenderly. “Are you okay?” he murmured, his voice rough and spent.
I just stared at him, unable to stop smiling. “I’ve never been better.”
Chapter 19
Karrick
I’m not sure how long we were laying there inside the hollow of the tree. After we’d mated, the last colors of sunset were still bleeding across the sky. But when I awoke without realizing I’d ever fallen asleep, it was pitch dark and bright stars filled the sky above. The world was quiet save for the occasional rustle of leaves and the crickets chirping in the grass. As far as I knew, we were the only people for miles. The solitude made me feel safe and content, especially with Phoenix wrapped up warm in my arms.
Already the bond between us was much stronger. I could feel emotions tickling at the back of my mind that were not my own. Phoenix must have been dreaming because I could feel them shift, but mostly they just felt warm, safe, and content.
I shifted slightly, trying not to disturb him, and pressed my lips gently to the top of his head. His dark hair was soft against my mouth, and I breathed in his scent, something like cedar and smoke that made my chest tighten with affection. The bite marks I’d left on his shoulder were already gone, but they’d leave a permanent scent behind that would mark him as mine. The thought sent a possessive thrill through me.
Phoenix stirred in my arms, those amber eyes fluttering open to meet mine in the dim light of the enchanted lanterns. A sleepy smile curved his lips, and I felt his contentment wash over me through our bond.
“Hey,” he whispered, his voice husky from sleep. “How long was I out?”
“A few hours maybe,” I rumbled softly, my hand stroking down his bare back. “You looked peaceful. I didn’t want to wake you.”
He stretched against me luxuriously like a cat, and I couldn’t help but notice how his movement made our still-naked bodies slide together in ways that sent heat pooling in my belly again. The mate bond was insatiable, apparently.
“I can feel you,” Phoenix murmured, his palm pressing flat against my chest. “In here. It’s like there’s a warm glow that’s just... you.”
