Page 42 of Mushy Stuff (Guardian Mates #1)

I’m not a fool. I knew Allium was watching me. I knew what he was thinking about.

After I’m finished bathing, while still completely naked, I lead him into the bedroom. I sit down on the edge of the bed and then reach up and begin unbuttoning each of the buttons on his trousers. He takes a ragged breath as I do, and his tail thrashes wildly.

His cock is already hard and straining against his trousers. With each button I undo, I see a little more of it. Once his trousers are completely unbuttoned, his cock falls free of its restraint, and I begin sliding his trousers down his hips. He takes over and slides them completely off.

Then he’s standing before me, completely naked, cock hard and leaking a bead of precum.

I reach a hand out and run my fingers along the length of his shaft.

He groans as I touch him. His cock is so much different than any I’ve seen before.

I run my fingers over those delicious bumps.

When I reach his knot, I wrap my hand around it.

I can feel it swelling just from my touch.

Then I lean forward and lick the precum off the head of his cock.

He gasps and groans, then breathlessly says, “Faylen, if you keep doing that, it will swell too much.” He lets out another little groan, “And I want to knot you tonight.”

I feel my pussy clench when he says that. “You do?”

He growls, “Yes, I want to knot you and fill you will my seed so that your belly will be swollen with my cubs soon.”

I gasp. “You want that?”

He growls and leans down to kiss me. Then he breathes his next words against my lips. “You are mine now, Faylen, and I intend to breed you every chance I get.”

I shudder at his words, then whimper as he begins to press me back onto the bed.

He kisses and licks down my neck as his fingers slide over my pussy.

He presses a finger into me, and I moan because his touch feels so good.

I gasp as his finger finds that perfect spot on the inside of my pussy.

He continues to work his finger inside me, and I can hear the slick, wet sounds that my body is making.

Then he presses a second finger inside me and, oh gods, his fingers are so thick.

I moan as he fucks me with them. I feel him spreading his fingers apart, stretching me.

I whine and pant while I cling to him as he does this.

Impossibly, he begins to press a third thick finger into me.

I whimper at the intensity of him stretching me, but it feels so good.

Allium whispers, “Good girl. You are opening up for me so well.” I whimper at his words, then I feel him beginning to spread his fingers and I nearly cry out at how intense it is. I feel impossibly full. I writhe and squirm against the pressure.

Allium says, “Shhhh. You are doing so good. I need to make sure you are nice and open so you can take my knot.”

Allium rotates his hand and brushes his thumb against my clit, and I cry out. “Fuck, Alli…do that again.”

He growls into my neck, then he begins rubbing his thumb in a light circle over my clit, and I cry out. He spreads his fingers more inside me, stretching me even more. I whimper and writhe against him. It’s so much, but so good all at the same time.

I feel the pleasure building in my belly, and I know I’m going to come soon. My legs start to tremble .

Allium groans and says, “Good girl, Faylen, you are going to take my knot so well. Come for me and show me how much you want it.”

That’s all it takes. Pleasure crashes over me, and I cry out as I come. My pussy pulses around his fingers, and Allium growls as he buries his face in my neck.

I’m breathless as my orgasm subsides, but I still need more. I need him. I need him inside me.

I manage to say, “Alli, make me yours, knot me…please.”

He growls and it becomes a long groan. He slides his hips between my legs and slicks his cock through my pussy, notching it at my entrance. Then he slowly begins pressing into me. I cry out loudly as he does.

I feel that first swell and all those bumps as he thrusts into me, then I feel his knot pressing against me.

He pulls almost all the way out, then thrusts back into me again.

I feel delicious pressure as his knot begins pressing into me.

I can already feel the stretch, and it’s only just starting to enter me.

I cry out as I stretch more around it as he slowly thrusts into me.

He pauses to see if I’m okay, but I take a ragged breath and say, “Don’t stop, please, don’t stop. Gods, Alli, it’s so good.”

He growls against my throat, and I feel the slight brush of his sharp fangs as he begins to slowly thrust into me again.

His knot continues to stretch me while I whine and dig my nails into his back.

Just when I feel like it’s too much, and I can’t possibly take anymore, his cock slides all the way in and I feel his hips press against mine.

My pussy closes and grips tightly around his knot.

We are both breathless. I can still feel it swelling even more inside me.

I’m stretched so much, but it feels so good.

He tries to shift his hips back and thrust back into me, but I am knotted to him and his swollen cock barely moves inside me. With me locked onto him, every small movement of his hips sends a wave of pleasure through me and I can feel my pussy pulse around him every time he moves.

He groans loudly with each movement. I can feel his muscles beginning to tighten and tremble, and I know he’s going to come soon, so I whisper, “Alli, let me ride you.”

His breath hitches, then he begins shifting and rolling us over so that I am on top of him, straddling his hips.

I grind my pussy down on him, and he nearly yells with the pleasure of it. I moan and gasp as I grind against him. It feels so good. His knot is pressing against everything inside me, and grinding against him puts pressure on all the right places. I can feel the pleasure building inside me.

I grind harder against him, building that pleasure even higher. Both of us are moaning loudly now. I lean forward and grab his horns. I pull his face to look at me and breathlessly say, “Alli, make me yours. Fill me with your seed and your cubs.”

He growls loudly then grabs me by the hips and presses me against him as he thrusts into me. I moan with pleasure and then scream as my orgasm tears through me. My pussy, stuffed so full, flutters around his cock.

He shudders in the next breath and roars as he comes. I can feel his cock pulsing inside me as he fills me with seed.

I collapse forward onto his chest, both of us breathing heavily. I try to shift my hips slightly and feel the pull of his knot still swollen inside me.

I must give him a look of surprise because he chuckles and says, “It will stay like that for a while. I’ll have to fill you at least one more time before it will go down.”

I gasp. “Really?”

He just chuckles again. “Rest for now.”

I lay my head back on his chest and just let my body relax for the first time in a long time. I run my fingers through the fur on his chest and absently play with it. Everything feels so peaceful, so right.

After a few minutes I say, “Allium, what is the plan for tomorrow?”

He growls low in his throat then says, “More of this.”

I laugh and he grunts as my muscles reflexively tighten around his cock. “And after that?” I say coyly.

He growls softly, “Maybe even more of this.” Then he lightly thrusts his hips into me. The slight movement of his knot inside me makes me gasp softly.

I can hear the huskiness in my voice when I say, “At some point we have to get out of this bed, then what?”

He thrusts into me again, a little harder this time, and I moan and grind myself against him.

He continues to thrust into me and says, “We will go to the city. Find a healer and find….” He groans loudly. Then he tries to pick up what he was saying, “Find…find… Fuck, Faylen…” He groans again.

At this point, I don’t even care what he says we are doing. He could have said we are going to the moon and I would have been fine with it. All I can focus on is his cock inside me, and how good it feels.

He pulls me to his chest and then rolls us over so he is on top of me.

Because of his knot, his thrusts are short, but he’s thrusting into me faster now and grinding against me.

I cry out with each thrust. Then I grab his horns and pull his face towards me and nip at his lower lip.

I hear a rumble deep in his throat, then he crushes his mouth against mine and kisses me deeply.

I’m breathless and clinging to his horns by the time he pulls his mouth from mine.

He buries his face in my neck and I feel the brush of his sharp teeth. Then he growls and says in a husky voice, “ Faylen, is this what you want? To be my mate? To be mated to a Guardian?”

My breath hitches. “Yes Allium, I want to be your mate.”

He brushes his teeth against my neck again, then I feel his tail slide between us to brush against my clit.

Just as I moan from pleasure, he sinks his teeth into my neck, biting me.

I had forgotten about Guardian mating bites, so I cry out in surprise.

There is only a moment of sharp pain, then all I feel is warm tingling pleasure.

It fuels the pleasure that is building low in my belly and suddenly that pleasure explodes through me.

Allium has me pinned in place with his teeth and his cock, but I writhe against him as I come.

It’s only a matter of moments before he growls loudly into my neck as he comes.

Once we have both come down from our orgasms, he carefully pulls his teeth out of my skin and gently licks the small wounds left behind. Then he kisses me deeply.

I can feel his knot getting smaller inside me, and several long, peaceful minutes later, he is able to shift off me and lay down beside me. I gasp as I feel a flood of seed seep out of me. Allium laughs, and gets up to grab a towel, then he helps me clean up.

Once he is back in bed, I snuggle up to his chest. I begin running my fingers through his fur again, and it’s then that I notice that some of the gold on my hands and arms has faded.

It’s darker at my fingertips and gets lighter on my palm, but by my wrist it is faded away completely. It also doesn’t tingle anymore.

“Alli, look,” I say excitedly. I hold out my hands.

Then I notice on my arms that I have faintly darker markings. They look like Allium’s markings. I gasp as I realize that it runs up my arms, onto my torso, and all the way down my legs.

I give Allium a wide-eyed look. “They are markings like yours!”

He touches one and rubs his finger over it. He has a look of wonder on his face. He finally looks up at me and says, “It must have been my mating bite. I didn’t know…” His look suddenly darkens as he says, “I’m sorry, Faylen, I didn’t realize it would do this.”

I laugh as I say, “No, Alli, I’m not mad. I love it.” Then I grab his face and kiss him.

Once we finally stop kissing, we snuggle up to each other. I graze my hand over my belly. “I wonder how long it will take for me to get pregnant. What if I’m already pregnant?”

He chuckles, “Don’t worry, I intend to knot you a lot to make sure you are pregnant soon.” He kisses me again. “Get some sleep. You need your rest. ”

I kiss him lightly on the lips. “Goodnight, Allium.” Then I drift off into peaceful sleep.

***

We end up staying at the inn for two more days. We spend all of it in bed, except for when Allium goes downstairs to get us food and pay the innkeeper.

On our second night there, I jolt awake after a horrible nightmare about Lord Varik.

Allium wakes up with me and holds me while I sob into his chest. He’s so patient with me as he helps me, I couldn’t ask for a better mate.

I eventually cry myself back to sleep while he holds me and whispers soothing reassurances.

When I wake up the next morning, he’s asleep but still holding me.

Once we finally decide it’s time to leave the bed, we both need a bath.

Allium tells me to take mine first, then he attempts to take one himself.

He hilariously does not fit in the tub. His legs and arms hang out, and half the water ends up on the floor.

Finally, he decides to just stand in the tub and use a cloth to wash up.

By the end of it, he looks like a grumpy barn cat that’s been stuck in the rain.

Despite all my giggling, I try to help him dry his fur, although that just ends with us in bed again .

Later that day, we pack up and leave on our horse, heading toward the city. Our plan is to find a healer and a place to stay.

I lean back against Allium and rest my head on his chest as we peacefully ride toward our new life. I lightly rub my hand over my belly. I have every intention of asking that healer if I’m pregnant, but I think I already know the answer.

In the distance, I’m beginning to be able to see the buildings of Lamrione, and I realize that for the first time in a very long time, I feel completely happy and excited for the future.
