SEVENTEEN
They didn’t make it back to the bed. Hell, they didn’t even make it back to the house.
Because somewhere between Devix helping her back up the steep hill, with him purring constantly at the sight of her backside, possessively palming it on occasion, and him leading her back into the forest of strange, creaking, breathing trees, Cara didn’t want to wait. The walk wasn’t that far…but it was far enough.
Devix smelled her arousal. She knew that. His horns were ramrod straight above his crown and his chest rumbled with familiar sounds that set her blood on fire.
It felt right, to make love for the first time in that place, Cara thought. In the strange forest that surrounded them like sentinels, making her feel safe, despite the ‘monsters and beasts’ believed to be living near Devix’s territory. Cara didn’t feel frightened. She felt warm and safe and buzzing from Devix’s trust in her, letting her judge him and his past without attempting to sway her opinion. Her sex was wet and aching, remembering their kiss earlier that evening, knowing that Devix was aroused and ready for her.
Every step stimulated her more and she heard Devix’s sharp inhale, his warning growl as he said, “Luxiva, do not tempt me like this.”
“Devix,” she said softly, looking to him. “I—I think we should have sex now.”
He stilled in the darkened forest. The side of his face swirled silver, from the light that had managed to squeeze its way through the thick branches of the trees.
“Rebax?”
“I don’t think I can make it all the way back,” she confessed, feeling her need swell in her like a tidal wave. She’d long given up trying to explain her deep attraction to the alien male standing in front of her, that went beyond anything she’d felt before. She simply accepted it now.
His expression turned fierce, intense, like she was prey and he was the predator. “You do not know what you ask, female.”
“I do,” Cara contradicted, stepping closer to him, running her hands down his chest. “It was inevitable, wasn’t it? We would have had sex eventually. Why wait anymore?”
Devix shook his head, but Cara got the sense that it wasn’t in rejection, but rather trying to get his thoughts straight.
“There are things you do not know, luxiva,” he rasped.
Cara’s heart thumped. “Like what?”
Devix stalled a moment to run his hand over his stiffened horn. “You do not know how possessive I will be of you if we mate. You do not know a Luxirian’s needs. I fear it will exhaust you.”
“Exhausted by sex,” Cara purred. “That doesn’t sound so bad.”
And why did his mention of how possessive he’d be of her make a thrill run down her spine? Back on Earth, she was too independent to like overbearing men. But Devix…she had a feeling she’d enjoyed being a kept woman if she was his.
Just one more thing that didn’t make sense to her about their relationship…or whatever the hell they were doing.
“I will be…ravenous,” he warned her, his voice growing dark.
Cara licked her lips, her clit giving a series of throbs in response.
“I want you to be,” Cara murmured, a teasing smile stretching over her lips.
Devix was still trying to dissuade her with his hesitation. If it were any other male, Cara might think he was trying to give her the brush off. But this was Devix. His desire for her was evident.
“I might not ever let you go, Cara,” he finally admitted, even as his hands clasped around her waist, drawing her to him.
Again, that tingle raced down her spine, something like awareness, a confirmation of something inside her that had always known that.
But she wasn’t afraid.
“We will cross that bridge if the day ever comes,” she whispered, her eyes catching on his lips. She raised herself on her tiptoes, but she was still too short to kiss him. “Kiss me,” she ordered. “And then I want you to do what you said you’d do.”
He was caving. Devix growled, “What did I say?”
Cara changed tactics since he wasn’t going to kiss her. She reached up with her hands and forcefully gripped his horns, eliciting a strangled groan from him, pulling his head down until she could nibble on his lips.
“You wicked female,” he rasped against her.
“You told me you’d fuck me so hard I’d feel you in my cunt for the rest of my life,” she whispered, repeating every naughty word he’d said to her. “And that you’d spank me as you did it.”
The change in him was evident as she repeated those words. Her alien male liked rough sex, it seemed. Good thing for him that she liked it to.
His voice was nothing more than a dark, velvety purr as he said, “I am trying to be an honorable male, luxiva.”
“Where’s the fun in that?”
He groaned, but his eyes told her she’d already ensnared him. “Ask me once more.”
One of Cara’s hands trailed from his horn to caress the erection straining his pants. It had seemed like ages since she’d last gotten her hands on him, but she intended to rectify that immediately.
“Will you please fuck me?” Cara whispered, trailing her fingers up and down the length of him, squeezing her thighs together as she imagined what he’d feel like inside her. She’d find out soon. “Right here, right now. Please, baby.”
The roughest of growls tore from his throat and his hands tightened around her waist, as if to hold her in place, to keep her from getting away. As if she’d ever try to get away from him again.
Cara gasped when he clawed through the laces on her pants and they fell in a pool around her feet.
Alrighty then, we’re doing this, Cara thought, excitement making her heart skip.
She stepped out of her pants just as Devix tore the shirt from her body, until she was completely naked, standing in the middle of the dark forest with him.
With a rasping purr, he picked her up off the ground, his strong arms wrapping around her waist, and Cara entwined her legs around his hips. She moaned when he dipped his head, careful of his horns, to suckle on the sensitive tipped peaks of her breasts.
He walked them over to one of the massive trees covered in white moss and he set her down, making her lean her back against the trunk as support. He fell to his knees in front of her, his eyes so dark that they appeared black when he looked up at her.
Cara bit her lip, her body humming in anticipation, feeling the softness of the moss against her bare back. It felt sinful and delicious to be naked like that in the forest, while Devix remained fully clothed.
Devix took one of her legs and draped it over one of his broad shoulders, exposing her pussy completely. Tingles traced over her skin when he gently nuzzled his horns over the flesh of her inner thighs, like he was marking her as his own.
“Ohhh,” she moaned, her eyes squeezing shut when he finally lapped at her pulsing, swollen clit, before giving it a teasing little suck.
Cara’s head swam. He’d pleasured her enough by now to know everything that she liked and already, she could feel herself nearing the edge of orgasm. Her alien lover knew all the right buttons to press to get her there swiftly.
“Devix,” she moaned, her whole body jerking when he inserted his tongue into her pussy, licking in her as deeply as he possible could. “Ohhhh, right there!”
She shivered when the ridges lining his tongue brushed her sensitive inner walls and she had to grasp his horns to keep herself from toppling over. Cara’s chest heaved as she gripped his horns tightly in her fists, stroking the smooth bone from base to tip like she would his cock.
His rough growl and the way his tongue worked harder inside her told her just how much he enjoyed her touch.
But she was impatient. She’d waited long enough to feel his cock inside her.
“Dev,” she whispered, her throat tight with pleasure. “I’m ready. Enough foreplay.”
He shook his head against her, pulling back just enough to say, “You are tight, female. I could rip you in half if you are not prepared. You will cum twice and then I will mate you.”
Twice, she thought, her head swimming, groaning. Her head fell back against the tree trunk, but her grip never left his horns. With unseeing eyes, she stared up at the canopy of the forest, watching the swirling silver light dance through the shadows as Devix returned his attention to her clit.
Cara was growing wetter and wetter between her thighs. So wet that she felt it drip down her legs, only to be lapped up by Devix, the wicked, wicked male.
Her whole body stiffened and she screwed her eyes shut when her first orgasm of the night crashed down on her, making her back arch off the trunk of the tree.
Her cry echoed around the clearing, the sound being carried in all directions of the forest. Even her nipples tingled with pleasure.
And as Cara came down from the edge, only to realize that Devix would not let up from her sensitive clit, she knew that it was the beginning of a very long night.
* * *
Devix could not get enough of his mate’s taste.
“I would live off your cunt if I could, luxiva,” he purred up at her, on the heels of her first orgasm.
She gave a shaky laugh and Devix savored the sound. And then he savored her gasping moan when he delved his tongue back inside her delicious cunt, lapping at the tight, hot walls he’d soon feel wrapped around his cock.
Devix growled in anticipation and the sound vibrated his tongue inside her. Devix knew his female’s body well and she was approaching her second orgasm swiftly. Her cunt was wet with arousal and her cream and he just wanted to make sure she’d be able to take the thickness and length of his cock without hurting her.
His Instinct was a purring, excited beast within him. It rumbled mine, mine, mine, as he licked and laved her cunt. He hadn’t been lying to Cara when he’d told her the possessiveness he’d feel once they mated fully. Luxirian males were notoriously protective of their mates and coveted them like no other species he knew of.
The only thing he regretted about their first mating was that it wasn’t happening with the Fates’ blessings. On Luxiria, fated mates were revered since their occurrences were rare. And fated mates always received the blessings of the ravraxia ceremony before the first mating.
The Fates’ presence was not on Rozun. Only in the sacred places of Luxiria could one seek out their power, could feel their touch.
Devix would have liked to honor his mate with the ravraxia, but fate had other plans for them. And Devix accepted that.
Their bond was not any less special just because they were not participating in the customs of his culture. Devix would take her any way he could.
Cara’s second orgasm tightened her body, making her leg draped over his shoulder tense, making her grip on his horns tighten as he rocked them into her touch. The beginnings of his seed soaked through the front of his pants, dripping from his engorged tip.
More cum soaked her cunt until it was dripping from her, the taste so delicious that Devix’s eyes rolled back in his head with every lick.
Cara tugged at his horns, his impatient little mate. “T-that was two. You promised.”
“Did I?” he rumbled against her, dragging the tip of his tongue across her throbbing clit.
“Devix,” she protested, her tone notching higher and higher as he tormented her. “No more. I need you now!”
His mate was not to be denied for long. Devix knew that. She always got what she wanted, so Devix decided he’d teased her long enough. Her cunt was drenched and her muscles were relaxed enough that she might be able to take all of him.
The moment he unhooked her leg from over his shoulder, she was on him. Delighted, he purred as he pushed him to his back on the moss, the effort making her lush breasts bounce and sway. And Devix watched them, rapt, as she straddled his hips and tore his tunic over his head, the material ripping on his horns, until his chest was bared for her. Next, her hands fumbled, shaking, at the lacings of his leg coverings. Devix aided her and soon, she got him as nude as she.
His mate was in a state, her eyes wild and glazed, probably matching his own. When she reached between his legs and grasped his aching, engorged cock, he growled, his beast pushing closer and closer to the surface.
Cara was focused but ravenous for him and she guided his cock between her legs, until his swollen tip rested against the entrance of her cunt.
Devix’s breathing changed and his chest rumbled constantly. He could perceive her heat and he shook his head, trying to clear the fog at the knowledge that soon, she would be his and he would be hers. He hadn’t lied to her earlier. Once they mated, he didn’t know if he’d be able to let her go.
This would change everything for them both.
He felt his Instinct merge with his mind, his muscles growing and expanding, strength infusing his body to prepare for mating. But Devix knew he couldn’t use it all, not on his delicate mate. If he was too rough, if he fucked her the way he wanted, he might hurt her. But it didn’t help that she was trying to wiggle down on his cock, making pleasure and lust and his animalistic desires wage war in his mind. He struggled for control, struggled to control his darker needs.
But his Instinct was right at the surface now. It was always closest to the surface during matings.
Cara gasped when she managed to wedge the tip of him inside her. Devix growled, his grip tightening at her waist, barely keeping himself from thrusting up. She rotated her hips, panting, sweat beading on her forehead as she said, “I—I can’t get you in, Dev.”
Devix was beyond words at that point. He was a growling beast, the only sound he was capable of at that moment. When she gave a frustrated groan and let him slip from her body, Devix’s eyes dilated and his Instinct surged to the forefront of his mind.
Cara gave a startled cry when he flipped her over onto her back, maneuvering her body with ease. He spread her thighs wide until her cunt was open and exposed to him. The crown of his head nudged her entrance.
“Baby,” she breathed. “I don’t think we’ll fit.”
“Tev,” he rasped, his voice unrecognizable. “You were made for me, female. Your cunt will take me well.”
Cara’s body tensed as he surged inside with one powerful thrust, her mouth open in a silent cry, eyes on his. Devix bellowed into the quietness of the forest, his roar carrying far, when he felt his mate for the first time.
Unable to stop, he thrust again, testing her tightness, feeling her walls ripple around him. With another rasping growl, he thrust again. And again. And again.
And then he felt her cumming around his cock, her cunt gripping it so tightly that he feared he’d spend inside her too early.
“Devix!” she screamed, eyes screwing shut, her hands grappling on his shoulders until she dug her little nails into him at her pleasure. “O-oh my God!”
Devix didn’t let up. He repositioned himself so he was on his knees, spread wide. He gripped her hips and brought her level with his cock as he pounded inside her, all the way inside her. Nothing had ever felt so good.
Her breasts bounced violently with his merciless thrusts and Cara pinched her nipples in her daze, which made Devix fuck her even harder.
Her stomach muscles never unclenched and wordless sounds fell from her lush, reddened lips as her orgasm continued. It never stopped. Her walls continued to contract around him, trying to draw his seed, tempting him to cum.
“Tev, luxiva,” he purred. “Brixav ta!”
“E-english, baby,” she whispered, her voice choked as she tried to deal with the pleasure.
“You take my cock so well, female,” he growled down at her, his dark eyes never leaving her own. “This cunt is mine now. You are mine now.”
“Y-yes,” she whispered, her breath hitching, her fingers still working her nipples.
With a punishing thrust, he growled, “Tell me, luxiva.”
A strangled gasp fell from her throat and she panted, her back arching as she received his thrusts with anticipation.
“I’m yours, baby,” she whispered. “I’m yours. Fuck me like this always, okay? Please.”
“Vrax,” he cursed, their flesh slapping together, creating a filthy, delicious sound. His mate was perfect. Made for him. Only him.
It was too much, seeing her lying before him, taking his rough, demanding thrusts so sweetly as she continued to cum around his cock. Her pale skin was drenched in the silver light of Rozun and he pictured filling her with his seed until it spilled from her body, until she grew heavy with his offspring.
With a roar that he swore shook the trees, his seed burst from the tip of his cock and lashes of his cum hit her inner, pulsing walls.
“I f-feel you,” she moaned. “Ohhh. Cum in me, Dev. More!”
She had no idea how much cum he would pump inside her, but he’d show her soon enough. He continued to fuck her, pining her hips down as he pistoned his own between her legs, until every last drop was emptied inside her, until the last shudderings of his orgasms left him.
Still, he wasn’t finished.
“You’re still hard,” she said in disbelief, her own cheeks flushed from her pleasure, her eyes glassy.
“Remember my warning, luxiva,” he murmured, leaning down to kiss her soft lips before leaning his forehead against her own. “I will be ravenous.”
Understanding dawned in her gaze. She had the good sense to look a little trepidatious, but true to form, his mate was not one to back down from a challenge.
She smiled, her skin gleaming with sweat from their exertions. Even though her cunt was still fluttering around him and her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath, she murmured, “Bring it on, Luxirian.”
Already his beast was stirring, delighted with their mate. And when she leaned up to capture his lips in a sinful kiss, sucking on the tip of his tongue, Devix broke away long enough to rasp, “I intend to, female.”
