Chapter 15

Chapter Fifteen

Elias dropped down between his mate’s legs, held her thighs open wide with his palms, and drew in a deep breath. Her scent was intoxicating. Like a drug. He needed more, and he lowered his nose into her soft curls and nuzzled her.

Leah gasped and bucked her body. If he hadn’t been holding her, she might have clocked him in the face with her pelvis. A low guttural sound escaped her lips, making his cock harder than ever.

Elias dipped his tongue between her folds, gathering her wetness and drawing it into his mouth. Heaven had nothing on his sweet mate’s pussy. Her scent and taste were driving him mad.

When he thrust his tongue into her channel, he groaned. She was so tight. He was going to need to stretch her before he would dare bring his cock near her entrance.

Her fingers found his shoulders, and she dug her blunt nails into him as he circled her clit next before flicking it rapidly.

She cried out his name. “Elias!”

He didn’t stop. He could sense her urgency. She was wound so tight. She needed to come, and he wanted to swallow every drop of her essence, so he sucked the tiny nub into his mouth and grazed it with his teeth.

Leah’s body went rigid, and she tried to lift her hips. She stopped breathing for a moment, and then she screamed. Her clit throbbed against his lips, and her entire body shook. He waited until the tremors subsided to lift his mouth from between her legs.

She was panting, eyes wide, staring at the ceiling.

“Leah… Baby girl…” He wiped his lips on the sheet, rose onto his knees, and crawled up to hover over her. Her hair was all over her face, making him think she had probably twisted her head back and forth, and now she didn’t have the energy to swipe at it.

Elias used one finger to brush the locks away from her cheeks and out of her eyes. “You okay, Little firecracker?” He was trying not to chuckle.

She was so stunned.

“Was that your first orgasm, Little one?”

Finally she slowly lowered her gaze to meet his. “Whatever that was, I’ve never felt it before,” she murmured.

He smiled. “Did you like it?”

She nodded. “Am I still alive?”

“Oh, Baby girl. We haven’t even gotten started. I’m going to make you come like that ten more times tonight.”

She swallowed. “I can’t do that again.”

Now he did chuckle. “Yes, you can, Little firecracker. Over and over.” He bent to kiss her lips.

She moaned against his mouth as he gave her a taste of her pussy. Her hands finally lifted from her sides to flatten on his stomach and trail up to his pecs.

When he broke the kiss, she asked, “What will happen when we touch our marks together?”

He was as curious as Leah. He scooted back, straightened her limp legs, and straddled her small frame. He would need to be careful. She was so tiny compared to him. He didn’t want to hurt her.

He lowered himself so her torso was trapped beneath him without going so far that he would squish her and then lifted his left arm. “Press your mark against mine, Baby girl.”

She lifted her arm slowly and hesitated. “Do you know what’s going to happen?”

“No. I mean I know what people have told me, including my father this morning, but people told me all kinds of things I couldn’t have believed until I met you. I don’t know what to expect. They say we will feel the power of the connection so bone deep that we won’t be able to keep our hands off each other.”

“But I already feel that way,” she murmured.

“Me, too, Little one.” At least he thought he did. How could this bond get stronger?

Leah brought her hand to his, and he threaded their fingers together before lowering his wrist to touch hers.

They both gasped as soon as the connection was made. So many things happened at once. It seemed his heart stopped for a beat, but so did hers, and then they beat together in sync. He could tell their pulses matched.

Her arm felt warm. So did his. Their temperatures were rising. Her arousal increased. So did his. The combined scent filled the room as if mingling and trying to mesh into one. The intense need to make that happen overwhelmed him.

He would control himself, though. He wouldn’t rush her. There were a million things he would insist upon in their lives—things that would keep her safe and healthy—but he would not rush his Little girl to take him into her body.

She tried to pull away, but he held her steady, gripping her fingers with his. He was enjoying the euphoric feeling even though it was making his need increase. It felt so good on so many levels. Like they were one being. He never wanted to separate from her. He wanted to hold her hand like this for the rest of their lives.

It wasn’t rational, but it was so very real.

Leah bucked and writhed against him, making him glad he’d trapped her between his thighs. If she had been free, she might have bolted off the bed, fallen on her head, and injured herself.

She reached with her other hand to shove at his arm. “Elias… You have to let me go.”

He shook his head. “No, Baby girl. Feel it. Let it build.”

She was so unbelievably gorgeous with all that red hair flying around in a halo and her eyes bugged out. The room smelled so strongly of her, and he loved that for the rest of his life his sheets would smell of his mate.

Finally, he lifted her arm over her head, pinned it to the mattress, and lifted his wrist so the connection broke.

She blew out a breath as though she’d been holding it all this time. She started shaking, and he was certain she was not cold. “Daddy…” The word was soft and filled with her plea.

Elias used both hands to join hers above her head, making her arch her chest as she writhed harder against him.

“Can’t…think…” she muttered.

“I know, Baby girl. It’s powerful. Take a breath. Look at Daddy.”

She shook her head. “You hypnotize me or something,” she grumbled.

He chuckled. “Not intentionally, Little one. Look at me.”

More defiant head shaking. She had no idea how cute she was.

“Do you want Daddy to give you your first spanking?”

She gasped, jerked her gaze to his, and surprised him. “Yes.”

His brows lifted.

She squirmed. “Yes. Please spank me. I need you to.”

Her reaction was odd, and he wondered what her motivation was. Perhaps she was simply trying to get him to release her, and she thought she could accomplish that if she agreed to be spanked.

“Are you trying to manipulate me, naughty girl?”

She nodded. “Yes. Anything. I’m burning up. You have to let me go.”

He drew in a slow breath, pulling her essence into his lungs, proving what he’d suspected. She was more aroused now than ever. The frenzy she felt was enough to get her to agree to anything.

He wanted to experience everything with her. Now. Everything all at once. It wasn’t possible, but the urge was tremendous. He glanced down at her chest. That was where he wanted to start. He hadn’t given any attention to her breasts yet.

The globes were so perfect. High and full on her chest with pink nipples that were distended into hard points.

But his sweet mate had asked him to spank her, and he wouldn’t deny her that experience. He would give her a small taste so she would know what it felt like.

When he rose up and flipped her onto her stomach, she squealed.

Elias pinned her again, this time with her hands at the small of her back. He kneeled next to her, rubbing her gorgeous bottom. Damn, she was pretty. Every inch of her.

She was panting and writhing.

“I’m going to spank you, Little one. Just ten swats. Just enough for you to know what it will feel like. You’re not in trouble. When I spank you for disobeying me, it will make you very horny, but I won’t let you come.”

She moaned.

He didn’t hesitate. He lifted a palm and swatted her sexy globe. A second later, he slapped the other, loving the way her skin turned bright pink. The outline of his fingers and palms rose on her sensitive flesh. He stared at the smattering of freckles on her pale skin. So sexy.

“More,” she moaned.

Damn. She was so fucking precious. Elias spanked her eight more times, covering her entire bottom before he stopped and rubbed her skin. He needed to look her in the eyes, though. He wanted to do naughty things to her right now. Spanking her any longer wasn’t an option.

After gently turning her onto her back again, he stared down at her. “That was just a taste.”

She licked her lips. The cheeks on her face were as pink as the ones on her rear. “I think I might have liked it.”

Elias shifted both of her hands into one of his, pinned them together above her head, and scooted down her body until he could cup one of her breasts. She was killing him. His cock was going to revolt.

She arched and moaned. “Elias…”

He flicked her nipple, making her writhe further. He got the feeling she had never touched herself. It was possible. He was aware that many mothers in the valley encouraged their girls not to masturbate, to save themselves for their mates.

Elias wouldn’t be displeased with Leah if she’d experimented, but based on her shock to everything he did, he was confident she had never acted on the impulse to stroke her tender spots.

He lowered his face until he could flick his tongue over her precious nipple.

Leah arched and moaned. “Oh. Oh…”

Precious. So unbelievably precious. Every one of her firsts would be his. He lowered farther to suck the pink tip into his mouth.

Leah started panting and whimpering. “Daddy…”

He lifted his head to switch to the other gorgeous breast. “Let it feel good, Baby girl.” He knew it did. She couldn’t hide her reaction any more than she could hide her surprise.

Elias caught her other nipple in his mouth, suckled it like its twin, and let his teeth scrape over the sensitive tip. The next time he lifted his gaze, he found her eyes glazed over and her mouth open.

He rose up several inches, lifted one leg, and nudged his knee between hers. He wanted her legs parted. He wanted access to her pussy.

Her head rolled back and forth when he smoothed his hand from her breast to her wet heat. He watched her face as he found her clit and then moved lower to ease one finger into her tight channel.

Leah’s mouth dropped open farther. Her head tipped back. She moaned as she planted one foot on the bed and lifted her hips.

Elias’s cock was so engorged the tip of it was pushing out from under the elastic of his briefs. He ignored it. His focus was on his girl and the way she was consumed by her lust. He wanted to memorize every second of her discovery. There was nothing better than watching his woman come apart while he fingered her pussy.

When he thought she could handle it, he added a second finger, easing them in slowly, not wanting to cause her pain. Eventually there would be no way to avoid hurting her. Hopefully it would only last a minute.

She bucked her hips. “More…”

His heart was in her hands. He would never deny her more . That was for sure. Curling his fingers, he stroked across the sensitive upper lining of her channel, making her cry out as a second orgasm tore through her.

It was a glorious sight, and the feel of her pussy clenching his fingers made him long to be inside her. Instead he added a third finger while she was supple.

Instead of wincing like he expected, she gasped, arched, and slid from one orgasm to yet another. The tight grip she had on his fingers made his cock nearly erupt. It was hard to keep from yanking off his briefs and mounting her, but he wouldn’t take her until she could look him in the eyes and ask for it.

As her body slowly settled against the mattress, he kept his three fingers inside her, gently rubbing his palm against her clit.

She gave him a slow sated grin and licked her lips. “Holy Heavens. I might have climbed up the mountain naked with bare feet two years ago if I’d known that was going to happen.”

He chuckled as he released her wrists and bent to kiss her rosy nipples. “Just a few hours ago you were uninterested in even meeting me.”

She lowered her arms to his shoulders and swatted at him. “So were you,” she pointed out.

She was right. He’d been just as reluctant and leery as her. They were a pair.

Holding his gaze, his mate lowered her palms down his chest, making a beeline for his cock. As soon as she covered it over the cotton material, his eyes rolled back. “Leah…”

“Can I put my mouth on you like you did me?”

He jerked his gaze back to hers. What ?

She swallowed, looking chagrined. “Is that not…”

He shook his head. “Leah, you may wrap your mouth around my cock any time you want, Baby girl. You just shocked me. You’re certainly not obligated to do so just because I sucked your pussy. I intend to put my mouth on you often. You will never be required to reciprocate, and we won’t be keeping score.”

She nodded slowly and then cocked her head to one side and pushed out her bottom lip in a fake pout that made him want to thrust into her without another word. “I didn’t think of it as needing to reciprocate, Elias. It’s an urge. An instinct. Do other women…?”

He sucked in a breath. “Yes, Baby girl. Some women like to take their mates into their mouth. Some don’t.”

“I’d like to,” she announced boldly.

Elias lifted his leg from between hers, dropped onto a hip next to her, and rolled to his back. He lifted his hips to pull his briefs over his cock, releasing himself.

Leah rose onto her knees next to him. Heavens, she was so gorgeous. She smelled of sex. Her pale skin was flushed from her orgasms. Her eyes were wide. He could also sense her nerves, and she was rubbing her thighs with her palms.

As soon as he tossed his briefs aside, he set a hand on her back and gently rubbed. He wrapped his other palm around his engorged cock.

She stared before tentatively reaching out to touch the precum leaking from the tip. After rubbing her finger through it, she brought it to her lips.

He nearly came. A low growl escaped his lips, making her flinch. He gripped her back with his fingertips. “Do whatever feels right, Little one.” He released his cock and let it bob on its own.

She lowered her hand and nodded before lifting her hand again to stroke a finger up along the side of his shaft. “It’s so big,” she murmured.

“It will be tight inside you at first, Baby girl, but after a moment, your body will adjust, and from then on, it will feel amazing.”

She nodded. “Okay.” She wrapped her fingers around his girth and let her hand slide up and down like he’d shown her. “I can lick it?”

He had to work hard not to groan. “Yes, Little one. You can suck it into your mouth if you want. The only thing you need to be careful with is my balls.” He parted his legs a bit and lifted them with a hand to show her. “They are more sensitive.”

She rose onto her knees and then dropped onto all fours, bracing herself with one hand on his abs and the other on his thigh. And then his Little firecracker lowered her mouth to his greedy cock.

He had to grit his teeth to keep from releasing right then and there while she licked the head of his cock and then wrapped her lips around it. Her mouth was far too small to take much of him in, but it felt so damn good he didn’t care.

Watching his mate bob her head up and down over his cock was the best sensation he’d ever experienced. Her heavy breasts bounced, swaying over his thigh. Her nipples were tight pink points begging him to worship them.

There would be plenty of time to worship Leah’s body. A lifetime.
