“You come apart so beautifully.” Arden’s arms are around my body as my senses return. It’s like I didn’t exist for a second. Suspended in an empty void. But now I’m falling back to this world with Arden holding me against his chest, pulling me gently from the plug and cradling me in his lap.

His lips press lightly against mine. His canines scraping my skin but I don’t care. I open my mouth, letting his tongue slip inside to dance with mine. Arden’s body is so warm against mine and I don’t realize until now that I’m shaking from head to toe. My arms are as heavy as lead and I can’t will my eyes to open as I slip into his embrace.

“You did so well, baby. You’ll be ready for me when we mate,” Arden whispers against my lips.

His praise is like a shot of adrenaline straight into my veins as I blink my eyes open, giving him a smile. His furry chest brushes against my back as he spreads my thighs with his.

“Did I do okay?” I ask.

My heart begins to thump in my chest and not for the first time do I feel like I’ve failed again. I know I got to the last plug. I did everything Arden told me to. But I still can brush the feeling that I didn’t do well enough.

Kissing my temple, Arden hums, his body vibrates as his fingers skim down my stomach bypassing my spent dick and tenderly tracing my stretched rim.

“Baby,” he coos. “You are perfect.”

Perfect.

Not good. Not well or even amazing. But perfect.

My body swells with pride and I believe him. I believe Arden truly means it. His finger dips into me, but I barely feel it beyond the sensitivity of my inner walls. I mewl, squirming at the way my nerves zap with overwhelm. I can’t take it much longer.

Arden chuckles, pulling his hand away and reaching for the fleshlight beside him, its inner tube filled to the brim with his cum. I lick my lips absentmindedly, my gaze tracking the way some of his seed lingers on the outer lips of the toy.

“You want this, baby?” Arden shows me the fleshlight. “Suck.”

I clasp the cylinder with both hands, drawing it down to my lips. I’ve never tasted cum before. Well… besides my own out of pure curiosity. Tentatively, I poke my tongue out, meeting the soft entrance of the toy.

It’s salty with a faint zip of sour as I lick the little dribble from the hole. I like it. So I lick again, this time dipping my tongue past the stretched hole of the toy.

Petting my head lightly, Arden rumbles a laugh. “You like that huh, baby?”

I nod as I eagerly stretch my tongue deeper to catch as much as I can. It tastes like him. Yet despite my attempts, the tube is too long and my short tongue can’t reach the rest.

“That’s enough, baby.” Arden plucks the fleshlight from my hands as I growl at him. “Any more and you’ll be humping my leg for the rest of the day.”

My brow furrows as I look up at him. “Why?”

His smile lights up his face yet his eyes darken with lust. “Because it’ll work as an aphrodisiac on you. The joys of being my mate.”

My jaw drops as I lick the remainder of his cum from my lips. “You have magic cum?”

The laugh that explodes from Arden is like music to my ears. It’s deep and raw and full of warmth. His eyes crease as he grins, shaking his head. “What am I gonna do with you?”

I grin back at him. “Anything.”

CHAPTER 15

ARDEN

Blake’s gentle snores fill the peace of the cabin. The sun beyond the windows peaks out between the clouds as the storm fizzles into nothing, leaving the world in a thick layer of snow. It’s beautiful. I’ve always loved the snow when it isn’t blowing a gale.

My eyes watch the fire dance as I nurse a steaming mug of coffee. My thoughts drift back and forth like a tide. Glimpses of Blake’s face scrunched in pleasure, his moans echoing in my ears. The way his perfect hole felt against my fingers as I inspected him. Even now my cock twitches within me.

For a split second, my panic tore through me when my slit widened and my cock burst free. I held my breath, watching for the way Blake would react. But fate knew he would accept it with pride.

His eyes glistened with curiosity, his cheeks burnt red with desire. God, he was stunning. My mate has now seen every part of me. The human and the beast. It bewilders me at just how accepting he is.

I take a sip of coffee, enjoying the flavor of it gliding down my throat. Before my mate had fallen asleep from utter exhaustion, he’d asked me about my knot. There was no way for me to hide it. Not when I was balls deep inside my fleshlight as I watched him fall apart with that plug in his ass.
