Chapter Twenty-four

She opened her eyes to see the respect coming from those she was surrounded by.

“Thank you.”

She looked over to at Minx who was thanking her. The relief that was etched on her face touched Fire’s heart. For too many years she felt she didn’t have a purpose. She lived for her dreams of a house and a husband. How was she to know that fate had so much more in store for her?

“You’re welcome. I would appreciate it if you kept an eye out and reported anything you see that concerns you.”

“I will.”

“Why are you all just standing around I thought this was a cookout?” Laughter filled the air as the Kur’iks started talking. Most of them replaying her fight with the animal or her holding them with nothing but the sound of her voice.

“You did it,” Declyn whispered in her ear. “Then again I knew you were an Alpha and my Alpia the moment I first saw you.” His lips traced down her neck causing her to shiver.

“Alpia,” she whispered. “Alpha’s mate.”

His low growl made her wet. She was twitching trying not to show everyone how desperate she was to feel her wolf moving deep inside of her.

“How long with this desperation last?”

“Desperation?”

“The need to have you buried deep inside of me.”

“If we’re lucky, all of our lives.”

She could live with that. Now, if only she could get him some place private.

“Swing, swing.”

Or not. She looked down at Mia’s bright blue eyes and smiled as Declyn picked her up and threw her into the air before he carried her to the swing.

“I’m glad it’s you and not me.” Jessie was standing by her side smiling at the sight of Declyn playing with Mia.

“What do you mean?”

“There wasn’t any alone time for Cole and me. Mia was always there. I find that she can ruin the most intimate of moments at times. All I have is one person to cock block, you have a whole compound of Kur’iks to cock block. Better you than me.”

Fire threw back her head and laughed. Jessie was right she was going to be blocked at some of the most intimate moments. It was her life, and she was prepared to be horny and miserable more times than she wanted to be.

“I need to thank Mia for showing me what lies ahead in my future.”

“Don’t worry I bet Declyn will only be able to take so much of it. Come into the house let me show you the bedroom of a spoiled little girl.”

“This I have to see.”

*~*~*~*

They walked through the front door of their home. Declyn stopped in the living room not moving.

“What’s wrong?”

“You’ve changed me.”

“What?”

“I always thought I was fine the way I was. I didn’t have a mate, but I didn’t need one. All I wanted was my males to have mates. I wanted happiness for them, and that would be enough for me. I lived in this house that wasn’t a home, but I was content because I’d never known a home. Then you showed up with killer curves and a smile that captured my heart. You showed me that you were Alpha the minute you walked into my club and I craved you. I never craved for anything before you.

“You came into my home and shook it up, and now I am standing here in the living room, and all I want to see is how it will look when you are done with it. When I have soft furniture that matches. I can already see us curled up together on the couch or a love seat. I played with Mia and wondered what our child would look like. To my knowledge, no Kur’ik has ever had a child before Lazzar and Amira. I am torn in two by my desire to protect my people and my desire to love you.”

She walked over to him and raised a finger to trace his jaw. “They are not mutually exclusive. You can still protect your people and love them while loving me. Together we’ll work hard to keep them safe. Together we love, fight, makeup and have children if that is possible. Is that possible?”

“What do you mean?”

“Has Cait or Tristian commented on children being born between Kur’iks and humans?”

“No.” He ran his hand through her hair allowing the silky tresses to tickle the palm of his hand. “I refuse to believe that we can’t procreate.”

“I’m going to believe you on that one. We should try though every day for procreation,” she tried not to laugh at the word, “it’s important.”

She went to her tiptoes pulling his head down to meet her lips. Taking his hand, she led him to the bedroom. Once there she took off her clothes giving him an occasional smile as she flashed her breast and ass in front of him. Then she walked into the bathroom.

There was no surprise when she felt him behind her as she leaned over the tub running the water. His hard cock was in the crease of her ass making her want to lean over even further.

“If only you weren’t so big,” she said softly.

“Uhuh.” He used his foot to spread her legs out further before he placed her hands on the other side of the tub.

He ground his cock against her ass making her hot and wet as she tried not to grind against him.

He leaned over her allowing his chest to lay on her back. Taking a finger, he stroked it against her slit. It came back hot and wet.

“I think you want me.”

“No,” her voice was thick with need. “I need you, that’s so much more than want.”

His teeth went to her shoulder clamping down on her. Her body shook in need as her breath caught in her throat. A whimper of desire came out as a mewl begging for more.

His hand went to her nipple pinching it between his finger and thumb as the heat from the water still running rolled over them outlining them in the steam. He switched nipples enjoying the sounds she made.

Her sweet noises demanded he go faster. She wanted to be impaled on his cock, but he was enjoying playing with her as his fingers slid down her body making her sensitive in every spot he touched.

“Declyn.”

“Do you need something Fire. Is there something I can help you with?”

His finger slid lower until he was rubbing her clit. Her body shook, and he let up the pressure, she called out begging for more.

“Harder,” she screamed at him.

His chuckle went through her. He pulled on her clit pinching it until she shook with need. His fingers went to her slit as he stuck one then the other within her. She rode his fingers taking them deep inside.

He pulled his fingers out and placed his cock against her slit rubbing it back and forth. She hissed in pleasure as he moved against her.

“I need you.”

His teased her opening pulling back every time she tried to take him in deeper. He kept driving her need higher while he teased her with his hard cock.

“Declyn, baby.” Her voice was tight with tension and desire.

He licked at the side of her neck before his breath teased the back of her neck and his tongue played with the top of her spine. Every move made her body tense more with desire.

“Wolf.”

The sound of the name that only she called him broke him. He surged inside of her pounding into her deeply. She clutched the side of the tub, and she met his thrust taking him deep inside and tightened her pussy muscles to keep him inside. The feel of him pulling out almost undid her. The sensation making her legs shake.

“This feels so good,” she cried out as he pounded back into her. Her breath was coming out in sharp pants as her eyes closed allowing her to ride the pleasure of every stroke. His hand came around and planted itself on her belly pulling her closer as he went even deeper.

He took her hard and fast showing her that her body was his. He mastered her even as she laid waste to his thought that he was independent and alone.

“Declyn so close.”

“Come for me, Alpia.”

She felt herself let go. The fire burning at the base of her spine spilled over her body. Her legs shook unable to hold her up as pleasure poured through her. She felt his arm slip around her keeping her from falling as she raced through the heavens as pleasure poured through her. For a moment in time, she saw them. They were playing in a field of grass, a little girl with the greenest eyes smiled up at her. She was lost, everything she was and would be melted away as she looked into those eyes and she knew nothing would ever be the same.

Declyn buried his teeth in her shoulder once again reaffirming the bond they shared. Her pussy lips clamped down on him pulling him into the bliss she was already experiencing. His shout was loud as he spilled into her pounding one last time as he filled her body with his hot seed. She collapsed knowing he would catch her.

“When did you turn off the water?”

He looked down to see the tub filled to the brim. “Don’t know.” He pulled out of her before he backed up enough to pick her up.

With a grin he couldn’t hide, he walked into the bedroom on legs that weren’t steady.

“I think you broke me.” He laid her gently on the bed.

“Nah, you’re still functioning. I’ll have to try again later.”

“I’m always up for a challenge. He got into the bed pulled her close before covering them up.

She laid her head on his chest listening to the sound of his heartbeat. It lulled her into the most peaceful sleep she ever remembered having. Later she would deal with the world that was turning around them and the mysteries she still couldn’t place her finger on. Right now, she would sleep with the male she loved.
