Part 21 (1/2)
”You should've told me. You also should've mentioned that s.h.i.+fters become really attached. That you can't end up cheating.”
He put her down, breaking the contact. ”If I had told you, it would've been hot air. You needed to figure that out for yourself. You would've figured it out ... you will. I meant it when I said I was coming for you. There will still be time for that to happen.”
She shook her head. ”You're not giving up your life for a woman who's not willing to take a risk on you. Blaze was right.”
Thunder's jaw ticked. ”Blaze doesn't know what the f.u.c.k he's talking about.” This was her attempt at a 'Dear John'. Tammy was going to try and talk him out of giving up on his people for her. It wasn't what he wanted but he couldn't help what he needed. Tammy had become a part of him.
”Blaze is right. I'm the one who was wrong.” She grabbed both his hands. ”I love you too. Very much.” She pinched her lips and seemed to hold her breath.
Thunder frowned. What was Tammy trying to say? Then he smiled and squeezed her hands as hope unfurled. Then he frowned some more. Did she mean it? Was this a trick, a test? What the h.e.l.l was this? ”What do you mean too? I never got a chance to tell you.”
”Yeah, you did. You've shown me what I mean to you. Through your actions, those little gestures. They mean so much to me. You mean so much to me. Thank you for showing me your love. I'm here to tell you that I love you too and I plan on showing you right back ... every day if you'll let me. I plan on doing a much better job of it.”
Thunder grinned. ”You love me?” She loved him. His female really and truly loved him!
”Yes, I do. I'm sorry it took me so long to figure it out.”
He picked her up and swung her around. ”I'm so happy. So unbelievably ... Wait a minute. You leave in the morning. This doesn't change anything.” f.u.c.k!
”Yes it does. Blaze is a sneaky sneak.”
”A what?” he growled.
”He's a sneaky s.h.i.+t,” she grinned. He didn't catch her point but Blaze was a sneaky motherf.u.c.ker.
He had to cringe though. ”Don't let him hear you say that.”
”I happen to really like the guy.”
”You do?” It came out sounding like a grumble. His female liked the f.u.c.ker. Thankfully Blaze was mated or Thunder might get jealous. Who was he kidding, he was seriously jealous.
”Not in that way ... shees.h.!.+ This whole mating instinct thing is affecting you badly.”
”Yeah, it is,” he gave a half smile and he could see that she forgave him in an instant.
”Blaze put us in rooms right next to each other. He sent Roxy to set things straight with me. I needed to know a few things.”
”Like what?” He didn't look too sure.
”Like what an a.s.s I am. Like how sweet you are.”
”You're not an a.s.s,” his eyes glazed over a little. ”You have a stunning a.s.s though.”
”Let's not talk about my a.s.s just yet. He did all of this in the hope that I would come to my senses, and I have. We have until first light to make this official.” She chewed on her lip. ”If you'll still have me, you can mate me now.”
”As in, right now?”
”Yes.” She was suddenly nervous that he would turn her down. ”It's now or never because I won't let you give up your throne. I can't let that happen.”
Chapter 23.
Thunder looked thoughtful for a moment. Three steps later and he was tossing her on the bed. The need to claim her was overtaking everything. His scales rubbed like mad. He ripped his pants off. Couldn't get them off fast enough. Tammy's eyes widened. There was excitement in their depths. Then he got onto the bed, unable to take his eyes off of her. Thunder straddled her. Claim. Now. He ripped her clothes off as well. b.u.t.tons went flying and fabric tore between his fingers like paper.
”I can't promise to be gentle,” he growled.
”Please don't be.” She gripped his shoulders.
”I love you, Tammy.”
”I know.” She reached up and kissed him. ”I love you too.”
Claim.
Now.
”I'll try not to hurt you.” His hands shook.
She squirmed, her eyes glinted. ”You won't.”
”I might.” He was worried. ”Turn over,” his voice was guttural, his beast taking over. It wanted her on all fours.
Tammy rolled over, his female put that lush a.s.s of hers in the air. Her p.u.s.s.y glistened. ”I'm going to mate you now and you need to know upfront that I will bite you. I will hold you down but I swear I'm going to make you feel good.” His mouth watered, his teeth felt sharp against his tongue.
”Sounds good,” she was out of breath even though they hadn't done a d.a.m.n thing yet. She pushed her lush a.s.s towards him.
”You are perfect for me.” He gripped her hips.
”We're perfect for each other.” She cried out as his thumb skimmed over that tiny little bud of nerves. All he wanted was to take her. His dragon was still insisting he do it now but he needed to prepare her.
He dipped the tip of his finger into her snug p.u.s.s.y. ”So f.u.c.king wet.” His scales rubbed a whole lot more. His teeth felt sharp against his tongue. He strummed her c.l.i.t and she mewled. Arching her back.
”I'm going to mate you now, Tammy.”
”Please. I need you,” she sounded breathless and needy. Her legs were splayed wide but he pulled them wider still. He needed her open and submissive. He needed her, period.
”Don't fight me,” he growled as he positioned his d.i.c.k against her slick channel. ”I'll try and go easy.”
”Need you. Please.” His tiny human knew how to beg. ”Oh G.o.d!” she shrieked as he sheathed himself inside her in one hard thrust. His hips. .h.i.t her a.s.s. Her lush a.s.s.
”Say my name,” he growled.
”Thunder,” her voice quivered.
”Do you want this?”
”Yes.” A whimper.
