Page 24 of Mated to the Crown

The swirling blue of her irises makes the primal part of me want to bite her so bad. I pull her up to me, pressing my mouth against hers as I pick us up. She is right, we cannot finish the mate bond here. Especially since I will knot her. I didn’t even tell her that part.

Fuck.

“Do you think you can manage until we get to the cottage, or do you want somewhere closer?” I growl, kissing behind her ear. She shivers against me but wraps her arms around my neck.

“The cottage. I don’t want any interruptions.

” She smiles and pulls back, giving me a look.

I pull her hand up to my mouth and gently kiss her knuckles.

I usher her down the ladder and out of the stables, heading back to the garage where the jeep had been.

I see Nicholas’ truck and let out a little laugh before pulling Celeste into another garage bay.

Opening it I wheel out a motorcycle. It wasn’t my favorite but it would get us where we needed to go.

She gives me a look but follows behind me, hopping onto the back and tucking the dress around herself as much as she can.

The ride to the cottage is too long. I am hyper aware of her body clinging to mine on the bike. Her scent surrounds me even with the wind blowing. Her hands clutch around my waist, stirring my cock in my pants. I push the throttle, urging the bike faster until the cottage is in sight.

I pull up to the front door, turning the bike off and flipping the kickstand out.

Celeste gets off and I swing my leg over, grabbing her waist and pulling her against me.

Our mouths meet and immediately the need to bite her fills me.

Our mouths tangle, hands searching each other for purchase.

I start pulling her to the cottage, kicking the door behind me open and pulling her through.

She squeaks as I grab her ass, smiling against the kiss.

“I fucking missed you.” I growl, flopping back onto the couch with her on top of me. Her eyes meet mine, widening her hips to straddle me.

“Oh, did you? How much?” She smirks and presses herself down, rubbing against my cock. I kick my feet off the couch, grabbing her and lifting her up as I stand. Our mouths connect again, the passion and neediness coming through.

“So, fucking much. I can’t wait to sink my cock into you.

I can’t wait to mark you so everyone sees.

I can’t wait to kiss that mark every day.

I can’t wait to fuck you.” As I talk I walk toward the bedroom, nudging the door open and looking at the bed.

I give her a look before striding in and leaning her back.

Watching her lay down on the bed, lips pouty and red, her body already writhing and ready for me, makes me lose control.

I lean down, pulling off her shoes and throwing them to the side.

I kiss up her calves, to the backs of her knees and to her inner thighs.

She reaches out, grabbing my shirt and pulling me up to her so our lips meet.

“I think you already kissed down there.” She whimpers. My hands push hers above her head. I place my hand over her wrists and move the other down to pull her dress up. Her eyes widen as she watches me, trying to peek between us.

“Eyes up, Princess.” I whisper. Once her dress is high enough I unbuckle my pants, pushing them down enough to let my cock free. I stroke it a couple times before rubbing it against her wet pussy. A low groan leaves me and I look up at her.

“Malik.” She whispers, pressing her hips up against me. I slide my head through her arousal, teasing her entrance. Her moans and gasps fill the room before I slip into her. My head falls back slightly, relishing in the feeling of her warmth.

“You. Are. So. Fucking. Perfect.” I grit out, moving back and forth with each word.

Her hands ball into fists above her head.

Her back arches against me and I can’t help but lean down and kiss her neck.

I let my tongue wander across her skin. I kiss and lick from the tattoo of her shoulder, across her collarbone, up the side of her neck until I nestle my mouth against her ear.

I move faster, feeling her tighten as I do and her little noises keep getting louder.

“I need to tell you one more thing.” I growl.

“Bite me, Malik.” She whimpers, baring her neck to me. I press my tongue against her neck and slide it back up to her ear.

“Not yet, baby. But I am going to fill you so full and knot you so nothing comes out.” The shifter in me growls, my hips curve so I hit that spot inside her with the head of my cock and she loses control, grabbing my shoulders and digging her nails in.

“Fuck, yes.” She moans and I smile.

“That’s my good girl. Now flip over.”

Her eyes snap open and she looks up at me, embarrassment on her face.

I slow down my hips and pull out, making her whine in protest. I motion for her to move and hesitantly she does.

I step back off the bed, pulling her back until her knees are on the edge, her ass in the air and her pussy on full display.

“So fucking sexy.” I groan. My hands go to her hips, clutching at the soft curves of her body. I move closer to her, urging her backward until my cock rubs against her. She buries her face in her arms, scooting back further against me. “Are you sure you are ready?”

“Yes.” She whispers and I give her a light slap on her ass, watching the skin turn a light pink. She gasps, flinching slightly at the movement but soon is rocking back against me once more.

“I can’t hear you, Princess. Are you ready?” My hands move up her back, reaching under her to play with her hard nipples. I kiss her spine before moving up to her shoulder. I scrape my teeth along the crest of her shoulder blade and she bucks back against me.

“Yes, Malik. Fuck me.” She groans, leaning down on her elbows and away from my mouth.

I lean back, guiding myself against her until I snap my hips forward.

She cries out and I stay there for a moment, feeling her rock side to side to adjust. Soon her rocking becomes more insistent and changes to forward and backward.

I start moving in time with her, feeling my own release building deep in my core.

“I’m going to mark you so everyone sees. I’m going to knot you, to make you mine.” I growl, closing my eyes and letting the primal need take over.

“Malik.” She whimpers, burying her head once more in her arms. She tightens, choking my cock and sending shivers up my spine.

I lean down, kissing her spine and urging her to go up on her hands so I can reach her shoulder.

Tentatively she moves up, bowing her back and holding in a whimper as she does.

“Let me hear you, baby.” I nip at her skin, testing it.

I feel the beast within me begging for control.

I can’t let him out, not yet. I have to do this on my terms. My balls tighten as her pussy clamps down on my dick.

I move one hand to hold myself up and move the other to my mouth.

I lick at my fingers before slipping them between her legs and finding her clit.

She bucks against me, gasping as I touch her.

She tries to lean back down but I tsk at her.

“Stay up. You’re so fucking tight. Are you going to come on this cock?

” My voice drops, making her whine again, clutching the sheets below her.

I move faster, burying myself in her until I can’t take it anymore.

I should have asked her but I had asked her so many other times during it that I couldn’t hold it back anymore.

I move my fingers faster on her clit, feeling her tighten around me.

I kiss the spot I’ve picked out and give it one long lick before biting.

She screams and at first I’m scared I’ve hurt her, but then I feel the rolling waves of her orgasm.

It pounds through me, in both my mind and around my cock.

I soon lose myself to the same feeling, filling her with my seed.

I hold the bite until she slows down her movements and I pull away, licking and kissing the spot as I do.

She slumps down on the bed and I realize we are stuck like this because of my knot.

Fuck. I shouldn’t have taken her from behind.

“Um… Malik?” She pants, pulling away a little. She is stopped by my knot and she moans again, shivering beneath me.

“It will pass, just give it a little time.” I whisper, trying to move us so we are on our sides. It isn’t the most comfortable position but it’s better than her on her hands and knees. “I’m sorry.” I whisper.

“For?” She questions, trying to turn around to look at me. I wrap one arm around her waist and prop my head up with the other.

“This is the worst position to have knotted you in.” I laugh and am happy to see her smile.

“I mean, it could be worse. I could be riding you. That would be awkward.” She laces her fingers with mine and I nuzzle behind her ear.

“We can try that next time.” I kiss her neck and settle against her. “This whole thing has been kind of crazy. Are you doing okay?”

She is quiet for a while and for a minute I think she fell asleep but then I feel a tear on my arm that her head is laying on.

I try to move back, finally feeling my knot release and watch our fun spill onto the bed.

I roll her over, pulling her against my chest and try to tuck the blanket onto the wet spot.

“I’m okay. Better than okay, really.” She whispers and looks up at me. Her eyes are a little puffy and red but it looks like she is happy crying and not freaking out or panic crying, so that is a good step. I kiss her forehead and pull her close.

“I hope so. You make me feel so alive, Celeste. You make me feel like me for the first time in a long time, and not just someone who follows everyone's orders. I don’t have to pretend when I’m with you and I love that.

” Her breath hitches in her throat and I feel a trickle of emotion through the bond.

“Let me in.” I cup her face and press my forehead against hers.

She lets out another shaky breath and then I feel her walls crumble down.

I’m hit with all of her emotions at once.

I close my eyes and try to focus through them until I find the one I am looking for.

I smile and open my eyes to see her looking at me.

I raise an eyebrow, rubbing my knuckles along her jaw.

“Love hmm?” Her cheeks flush at my words and she scowls at me.

“You aren’t supposed to-” I press my lips against hers, savoring the way she tastes. I feel everything now, all her thoughts, her worries and her emotions. I wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else in the world.

“We are bonded now. It’s official in shifter terms. We can still have a wedding if you like.” I pull away but keep her body close against mine. She lays her head on my chest, absently playing with the hair on my chest and humming softly.

“Let’s tell Nicholas and Daisy first, get our lives figured out and then we can decide.” She whispers. I kiss the top of her head and nod.

“Sounds perfect.”
