Chapter Seven

Gavin didn’t release his mate’s delicious pussy until she finally winced from overstimulation. When he did, she went limp on the bed, and he wiped his lips on the sheets beside her before kissing his way up her body.

He couldn’t resist circling her nipples with his tongue, one at a time, loving the purring sounds coming from her.

“Daddy…”

He finally lifted his head to meet her gaze. Her eyes were glazed over but aimed his direction. She was smiling, though he doubted she was aware. So sexy. Prettiest woman he’d ever set eyes on.

Sure, Fate made him believe that no matter what, but She was not wrong about this match. Molly was already his entire world. He felt like the luckiest man alive.

Her chest rose and fell with every gasp for oxygen.

Her breasts were fucking perfection, the tiny pink tips so stunning he would never tire of looking at them.

He’d meant what he’d said earlier. He would not let her wear clothes very often in the house, but damn.

He wasn’t inclined to let her cover her breasts for a long time.

Certainly not until they were forced to come up for air and face other shifters.

Traditionally, Alpha Protectors spent several weeks alone with their mates before venturing out and establishing their own new normal. At that time, he would resume his duties within the pack, leaving her with other Littles under the care of one of the other Alphas when he was on patrol.

However, several recent matings had ended up being disturbed within days of consummation. There were new forces at play. Bear shifters had infringed on their territory and threatened their way of life.

Gavin hadn’t been kidding when he’d told his precious mate there were Alpha Protectors guarding them. New measures had been put in place to ensure no beings were able to sneak up on newly mated couples during their honeymoon period.

In a few days, Gavin would be able to center himself better and pay closer attention to his surroundings, but for now, his focus was entirely on his mate, her first claiming and her first shift. Knowing his brothers were out there, ensuring no one could sneak up on them, calmed his nerves.

Not just his fellow Alpha Protectors. A few of their mates were also on watch.

This was something new that still unnerved every member of his extended family.

A few recent mates had powers no one had ever known to exist in a female shifter.

Powers that were instrumental to the task of protecting the valley.

Gavin couldn’t deny the number of times he’d fretted, wondering if his mate would also have unknown powers.

He doubted she knew either. Part of him wished she would not be saddled with such a burden.

He wanted to protect her, keep her coddled and pampered.

But he was aware he might face forces beyond his control.

For now, he would focus on nothing but her pleasure, ensuring she reached total bliss over and over before he took her innocence, causing her to enter her transition until she experienced her shift.

The sweet smile on her lips warmed him to the core. She was sated and blissed out. Stunning in every way.

Panting, she finally managed to mutter, “I… I didn’t know.”

He kissed her lips, aware that he was giving her a taste of her own arousal.

She moaned. “We didn’t even…”

He chuckled. “Not yet, Little one. I wanted you to understand what it means to be mine. What I will do to you often.”

Her eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open.

He nuzzled her neck. “Several more times tonight, Little one, and every single day of your life.”

“Daddy…” she whimpered.

He lowered his lips to her nipple and captured the tight bud gently with his teeth before releasing it and meeting her stunned gaze again.

“Molly, you haven’t even experienced a tenth of what our matings will be like.

I have yet to put a finger inside you, let alone my cock.

And our marks have not touched each other. ”

He loved the way her eyes widened in almost horror.

He chuckled again. “We don’t have to do anything else tonight, Little one.”

She pushed up onto her elbows and glared at him.

He would have laughed if she hadn’t been so serious.

“Oh no you don’t. No stopping.” She dropped back down and lifted her right arm, extending her mark. “Show me.”

“How about I get you something to drink first.”

She sighed dramatically as she went limp on the bed.

He laughed as he pushed to standing. “Sassy girl.” He kissed her tummy. “Don’t move. Not an inch. If you do, I’ll flip you over and swat your naughty bottom before I make you come again.”

He left her lying there while he padded into the kitchen to fill a sippy cup with formula.

She needed calories as well as fluid. The next time he fed her would be by bottle.

She would be so sated and tired as she moved into the transitional phase before her shift that she wouldn’t likely balk by then.

When he returned, she was exactly where he’d left her. She hadn’t even pulled her knees together. She was a vision, sated and relaxed enough that she was uninhibited.

Her pin-straight, almost black hair fanned around her, making her look ethereal. In fact, he froze in his spot and took several moments to stare at her, soaking in her radiance.

She was his. Forever. He finally had his mate in his home. After years of waiting and watching some of his friends and even his brother claim their mates, he’d claimed his own. It nearly brought him to his knees.

The coming hours would be a frenzy of sex and caring for her until he helped her through her first shift. Afterward, they would sleep hard for hours, but this moment…

He wanted to memorize this picture.

“Gavin…” Her sweet voice called to him.

He climbed up to sit with his back against the headboard and patted his lap. He was still wearing his dress pants. They would stay on until she was certain she wanted him to expose his cock. That did not have to be tonight, but he suspected she wasn’t going to be put off.

“Come, Little one. Let me feed you.”

She rolled onto all fours and crawled over to him. “What did you bring me to drink?”

“Formula, Little one. It has all the nutrition you need for times when sitting at the table eating solid foods isn’t the best option.”

“Is that what you fed me from a bottle earlier?”

“Yes, and I’ll feed you several bottles throughout the night. But I thought you might prefer a sippy cup this time.” He helped her settle on his lap and leaned her back slightly in his arms.

She took the cup from him and examined it before taking a sip. “Mmm. Not bad.”

“You’ll learn to crave it at times, Baby girl, especially when you feel very Little and want Daddy to take care of you in every way.”

She stared at him as she drank.

He knew the ways of his people were foreign and took some getting used to, but she was adjusting well so far. At least she wasn’t in a panic over his plans to care for her.

In minutes, she drained the cup and handed it to him. “I guess I was thirsty.”

He reached to set it on the nightstand.

Molly looked down at herself. “I can’t believe I’m naked.”

He slid a hand up her hip and continued until he cupped her small breast.

She moaned at the contact, arched into his palm, and grabbed his wrist. Her small fingers inadvertently touched his mark, making her gasp as her eyes went wide.

Gaze on his, she licked her lips. “I want more, Daddy.”

“Okay, Little one.” He would not deny her. He couldn’t. His cock had been hard for hours. It was painfully tight in his pants as he forced it to wait.

“Will you take the rest of your clothes off?”

“Are you ready for that?” He thumbed her nipple.

“Yes,” she breathed out.

Gavin lifted her off his lap and set her on the bed before sliding off the side.

She spun to face him and rose onto her knees near the edge, his eager Little girl, uninhibited. Patiently waiting.

Keeping his gaze on her face, he removed his pants, taking his briefs with them.

She bit into her bottom lip and stopped breathing as her wide eyes took in his raging erection.

Lowering her bottom onto her heels, she palmed her thighs.

No sound came from her mouth, but he could sense her fear and unease.

It was expected and normal. She’d never seen a cock before, and she certainly wouldn’t have seen one this large.

Gavin circled his girth with his hand and eased his grip up and down his shaft, causing precome to gather in the slit.

Finally, she sucked in a breath. “That’s going to go inside me?”

“Yes, Little one. I will help prepare you with my fingers first. I’ll stretch your tight cunt until I’m confident you’re ready. It will still hurt when I first enter you, Baby girl, but only for a few seconds. After that, all you’ll know is pleasure. I promise.”

She swallowed hard. “Your tongue was tight.”

“I know, Little one.” He knew that fact well. He’d nearly groaned when he’d thrust into her. Even he’d had a moment of hesitation wondering how the hell he would be able to fill her with his cock. But he knew logically they would fit together perfectly. All mates did. Molly would be no exception.

His jaw was tight at the thought of her experiencing even a single moment of pain, but it couldn’t be helped. She would hardly remember it after the fact. Plus, it would only be the once.

She lifted her gaze. “I’m scared.”

He released his cock to step closer and cup her face. “I know, Baby girl. That’s normal. Trust Daddy to take care of you, okay?”

“Yes.”

He slid his hands under her arms to lift her onto her knees, putting her face-to-face with him. Embracing her, he drew her chest against his, loving the feel of her soft breasts as they pressed into his pecs.

When he took her mouth, she moaned immediately. He could scent her fear, but her arousal was stronger. While he kissed her, he lifted her right hand, threaded their fingers together, and finally pressed his mark directly against hers.

Molly gasped, her mouth pulling back as her eyes went wide.

His jaw tightened. He was as stunned as her. No matter how many of his friends and relatives had told him what this experience would be like, there was no way to fully describe it.

The world opened up. The house ceased to exist. It faded around them as if they were in a void. Just the two of them. United. Floating. There were no specific sounds, or maybe his ears were ringing.

He didn’t blink. His gaze remained focused on hers, and she did the same. He could see into her soul. They remained frozen in time, mesmerized. Her essence wove around him, swirling, intertwining with his until they were not two beings at all but one.

And then the lust slammed into him at the same moment it did her. He recognized the change in her eyes, the way her pupils dilated, the panting.

She grabbed his other arm with her hand, her chest rising and falling as their breathing synced and their heartrates matched.

He reluctantly pulled his mark from hers.

There was a certain amount of euphoria from the simple act of letting their marks touch, and he would explore that with her more later.

Perhaps they could even orgasm from staring at each other while their marks aligned, but right now, he wanted more.

He needed to be inside her. He needed to completely consume her.

Gavin grabbed her waist and lifted her up higher, pulling her against him so that her tummy pressed against his chest. She was so small that his cock easily settled between her legs in this position.

She grabbed his shoulders and gasped when his dick stroked through her folds. When she tried to squirm as if to lower herself onto him, he stopped her.

“Not like this, Little one. Let me stretch you first.”

She shook her head. “Please. I need…” She wiggled, shoving herself downward, trying to impale herself.

He quickly lowered her onto her back, nearly dropping her as they bounced onto the mattress. His cock managed to find her entrance and force its way into her, but only the tip.

Molly moaned, still trying to force herself to consume him.

“No, Little one,” he repeated. Grabbing her hips, he hauled her almost all the way to the other side of the bed. Before she could protest again, he dropped his elbows between her legs and latched on to her pussy with his mouth.

Heaven. Her taste. Her scent. He would never get enough.

Molly fought him. “Daddy…”

He recognized the frenzy. He even understood it because he felt it, too.

But it was his responsibility to make sure this experience was as positive for his mate as possible.

He wouldn’t be able to prevent her from experiencing some initial pain, but he could minimize it, and he could make it so that it was all but forgotten by the time they were done.

While she fought him, he settled an arm across her hips. She was surprisingly wiggly for someone as tiny as she was. Before she could squirm out of reach again, he set his mouth on her clit and thrust one finger into her.

Heavens she was tight. His cock stiffened at the feel of her channel gripping his finger as if his dick knew it would soon bury itself in the same location.

Molly dug her heels into the mattress, tried to lift her hips, and cried out.

Gavin suckled her sweet bundle of nerves as he eased his finger in and out of her. All her purring and squirming was making his cock harder by the second. At this rate, he was going to come against the bed long before he got inside her.

When he thought she could tolerate it, he added a second finger. So tight. He feared he might actually hurt her.

“Gavin,” she screamed.

For a moment, he thought she was in pain, but then she came, her channel clenching his fingers while her clit throbbed against his tongue. He took the opportunity while she was in the middle of her orgasm to add a third finger and scissor all of them around inside her.

He knew it would be best if he entered her right on the heels of this orgasm while she was loose and sated and still needy, so before the last of her tremors faded, he released her clit, removed his fingers, and crawled up her body.

Positioning his cock at her entrance, he cupped her face and met her gaze. “Eyes on mine, Molly.”

She whimpered as she met his gaze. “Please, Daddy. I need you.”

He kissed her lips and thrust all the way to the hilt, praying to any deity who would listen that she not be traumatized by this experience.

Molly’s eyes rolled back as all the air left her lungs. A long moan escaped her lips before she suddenly grabbed his shoulder blades and bucked her hips. “Do it again. Daddy, move .”

Blessed angels.
