Chapter 27

Ashley

Axon looked down at me with the dopiest grin a male could wear. We'd just shared our first sexual experiences together and it was amazing! I still tingled where he had his mouth on me earlier. He was so good at that. He licked me as if he truly liked my taste, and I guess I had no reason to believe otherwise. It was just so different from the guys I'd been with in the past.

"Let me clean you off," Axon was blushing again and nervously running his hand through his short shaggy hair as he looked around for a spare cloth to clean me with. He searched through his pack on his knees, still naked, and I loved seeing his toned muscles ripple under his blue skin as he moved. His tail lazily swished behind him, revealing how happy he was in his moment.

"Here it is!" He pulled out a clean cloth and walked toward me again.

His cock still jutted out proudly before him, as hard as it was before he came all over my chest. My channel clenched on nothing but air as I realized we could have penetrative sex right now if Axon was up for it.

"Sorry," Axon commented as he bashfully wiped his spend off my skin.

"Don't be. I'm not." I gave him my best sultry smile and nearly giggled as his jaw hung up in surprise.

"I, uh, I..." Axon was stuck in a shocked loop of broken brain function.

"You're still hard," I interrupted his stuttering thoughts and made a show of glancing down at his swollen purple cock head.

"I guess I am."

Axon flared his nostrils and his eyes grew wide. "You're still aroused."

"Uh, huh." I bit my lip and nodded my head.

Axon ran a nervous hand through his hair taking in the implications of what I'd just said.

"You wanna try mating?" My heart was beating so fast inside my chest I was sure he'd be able to hear it. Maybe his heart was beating as fast as mine. I wanted this connection with my mate.

"Uh, huh," he nodded eagerly.

I took him by the hand and led him back to the furs where I laid down and spread my legs for him as an open invitation.

Axon got on his knees and took in the sight of me as if I were the greatest thing he'd ever seen in his life.

"You're so beautiful, Ashley. So perfect." He leaned down and cupped my cheek in his hand and I had to hold back tears.

"You're perfect." I replied as I turned my head and kissed his palm.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"Yes," I nodded.

Axon's attention drew back down my body to my sex. He leaned down over me and lined up my hips with his. As he pushed his hips forward he slid his cock through my wetness and groaned a deep rumble that came directly from his chest.

"You feel so good already." His head was tilted back and his eyes were closed as if he were already losing himself to the moment.

He slid his thick hard cock through my wetness twice more before notching himself at my entrance. Then he took a deep breath then slowly slid himself inside me.

His breathing immediately grew more ragged and, by the way his jaw was working, I could tell he was clenching his teeth.

"Are you okay?"

I ran my hand up and down his arm, which seemed to help a little. At least he remembered to breathe.

He felt so good inside me. He was by far the most well-endowed man I'd been with and the way his cock filled me up was divine. I loved feeling him this way, but by the look on Axon's face I worried that I was the only one having fun in this moment.

"Axon, you've gotta talk to me. How are you feeling?"

"Fine. I'm feeling fine." He said through gritted teeth. Well, more like he lied through gritted teeth.

"Axon," I huffed out his name. "If you're not enjoying it we should stop."

"It's fine. I can get past it."

Okay, that was enough. I sat up and scooted back until Axon was fully out of me again.

The moment our bodies separated, Axon collapsed onto the bed panting, desperate to fill his lungs with air as if he'd been drowning just a moment ago.

When he finally caught his breath he looked up at me with glassy eyes and the most devastated expression I'd ever seen him wear.

"It was too much, wasn't it?" I kept my words soft but firm. It was okay to admit he had limits, but I also knew by the look on his face he was heartbroken about this.

"Yes," his voice was watery and he closed his eyes tight as a tear streamed down his face.

"I wanted to experience this so badly," he admitted. "I wanted to give you everything."

"Axon, you've already given me everything. You've given me your heart, and the safety to be myself, wholly myself. That's all I could possibly ask for. Besides, sex isn't everything." I teased, which got Axon to smile.

His smile quickly faded as he confessed, "I've been so scared this whole time, that if I can't join with you, give you everything, that luminescence might never happen for us."

"Luminescence doesn't matter, remember?" I tried to encourage him.

"I know, but I want you to have it all the same. I want to glow for you so badly. I want to be yours in every way possible."

His words made my heart break. Axon was more perfect than I'd even realized. We would be together no matter what, and sure it'd be less complicated if we just glowed for each other, but I didn't realize he wanted to be bound to me in a way that would never let us be ripped apart.

"You are Axon. I am yours and you are mine. Just because we can't have penetrative sex doesn't make that statement any less true."

"Are you sure?" He looked up at me with the saddest eyes I'd ever seen.

"Am I sure?! Axon, after all the compassion and respect you've shown me, how could I not do the same for the person I love?"

"Oh right," a smile finally cracked his downcast demeanor.

"We can do lots of other things. I mean look at what we've done already. We figured out that a hand job is too much for you, but a boob job is just right. I figured out that you are very good at eating pussy." I giggled.

"Do you want me to lick you again?" His eyes lit up as if I'd just given him a birthday present.

"Yes, I'd like that very much." I laughed.

"Well then let's get to it." He rubbed his hands together as if he were about to dine at a Michelin star restaurant.

"Are the blankets okay? Are you comfortable?" He adjusted the furs beneath me and made sure they were smoothed out.

"Whoa, slow down. Do you need a moment to collect yourself?" I asked.

Axon shook his head. "I like tasting you, and I need the reminder that we can do other things, I can pleasure you even if we can't be fully mated, and..." the tips of his ears turned a dark blue. "I'm dying to hear those sweet noises you make again."

"You're too cute for words," I teased him as I laid down on the furs with my legs spread wide.

"Consider your wish granted." I smiled up at him and he licked his lips.

"Thank you, my mate." Happiness had returned to his face again, which filled my heart with joy. Joy that quickly morphed into pleasure.

I felt him smile against my skin as I let out a small moan when he kissed his way up my thigh. I loved that he loved the sounds I made. I loved everything about him.

All cohesive thoughts left my mind as he licked my clit with a long slow drag of his tongue.

"Axon," I breathed as I sank one hand into his hair and fisted the other in the furs.

"Mmmm," he mumbled against my skin. He licked me again and again until my legs started to shake and then he placed one over each shoulder, giving him even more access to my sex.

He switched from licking to sucking and I gasped. My hips bucked against him and I grabbed onto his horns for dear life.

My breaths were short rapid bursts as he licked and sucked my clit, beckoning my orgasm ever closer.

I felt a coil of warmth pool into my core and it kept winding tighter and tighter. My body hummed with anticipation and my muscles grew weak as every nerve ending focused on that one point of contact.

I had my eyes closed tight, so I didn't see Axon's hand reaching up to my breast, but I felt it. I felt him expertly roll my nipple between his fingers. That second point of contact acting as a conduit of pleasure reaching from my core to my chest.

Everything combined was the perfect symphony of sensations to bring my orgasm to the fore. My pussy clenched on nothing as spasms of pleasure coursed through me.

I cried out, gripping Axon's horns tight as my thighs trembled around his head. When I finally came down from my orgasm, I looked up to see my mate with an adorably smug look on his face. He'd earned that smug look. I felt boneless and ready for bed .

"Thank you," he breathed.

"Why are you thanking me?"

"For the pleasure of tasting you twice in one night, and hearing you moan my name."

I grinned up at him and ran my fingers through his hair. "You're perfect. There's no one I'd rather be with than you."

He captured my hand in his and kissed it gently. "You're perfect."

The way he looked at me, made me feel as perfect as he proclaimed I was, and that was an amazing feeling.

"Let's sleep. We've got more traveling ahead of us tomorrow." Axon said as he brushed some hair off my forehead.

"Okay."

I cleaned myself off and joined Axon in the furs. He held me close and I fell asleep to the sound of his strong heart beating softly in my ear.
