Chapter 19

Mikhail: Chapter 19

I knew Tajah needed to let go. The past couple of weeks since the dinner party had been stressful as hell for her. On top of moving in with me, she and Cady still weren't truly talking. She tried more than once to talk to her, but for some reason Cady was unwilling to tell her what set her off that night. Instead, she was avoiding her calls and texts. I could understand Cady being concerned that her friend would be hurt again like Sam had hurt her, but when Tajah told me what she said at the door about men, it made me even more convinced it had only a little to do with me, and more to do with something in her life.

I offered to speak to her, but Dove told me they'd hash it out, eventually. They'd been friends since grade school. There was no way she could see their friendship ending over something like this. It was the fixer in me, who wanted to make it right for her. She told me she loved me for wanting to do it, but women usually only wanted a man to listen to them, not fix stuff for them. I took note of that for future reference, but I wasn't sure how I could turn instinct off.

Her mom, on the other hand, seemed to like me and was excited about us. Tajah's lunch date with her had gone really well, and she was smiling when she came home afterward. As for my side of the dinner party, there were no issues with Hoss or Reuben with Tajah. They already adored her. Matvey and Victoria rang me the next day to tell me how much they liked her and her mom. They were eager to have the rest of the family meet her. They also asked if we'd figured out her friend's problem. I had to tell them no, but they'd work it out. Carver had come to me a couple days later to apologize for Cady's behavior. I made sure he knew he had nothing to apologize for. Cady was an adult. Her actions were hers alone, and I wouldn't hold it against him.

Hoss on the other hand wanted to go find her and spank her ass. I knew he didn't just want to do it as my friend. He was into impact play, and I saw his interest in her, even when she was acting like a bitch. He was imagining himself taming her no doubt. If he went after her, I'd wish him luck because he'd need it. She wouldn't be an easy one to tame if it was even possible.

With all this in mind, I knew it was time to surprise my dove. We'd been sharing more and more of ourselves, but I hadn't told her every single thing about me yet. I'd been waiting for the right time, and tonight was the perfect time to show her more. Reuben would be here to take care of the club, so we could get away. I'd worked on getting everything ready for our couple of days away for the past few days. It would take us over an hour to get to our destination. When I told her to pack a bag with enough clothes for three days, she asked where we were headed, but I told her it was a surprise. Excitement kept building inside of me.

I'd packed clothes and other things I thought we'd need and had them already in the car. It was all I could do to concentrate on finishing up the last few things I needed to do before we left. The very last would be a quick walk through of the club to check with Reuben, and then we'd be off. I wanted to get there before nightfall.

It was around three in the afternoon when I finished off the last email to my accountant. Shutting down my computer, I headed downstairs to say goodbye to Reuben. Tajah was in the apartment waiting on me. She'd spent the day doing research on her next book. We'd checked in with each other throughout the day. It was the new norm for us. When I got to the club, I lucked out and found him on the first floor. He was at the bar talking to the bartender.

He grinned when he saw me. He walked over and slapped me on the shoulder. "Are you ready to go?"

"Hell, yeah. I can't wait to get her out there. I hope she'll like what I have in store."

"I have no doubt she will. You guys have fun, and don't worry about this place. I've got it under control."

"I know you do."

"Get out of here. You don't want to delay your special plans."

"That's for damn sure. See you Saturday. Or who knows, if it goes well, we might not be back until Sunday."

He laughed and wiggled his eyebrows at me. I laughed. Not wanting to delay another second, I rushed upstairs to get her. Ten minutes later we were on the road. She kept trying to get out of me where we were headed.

"Misha, tell me."

"Nope, you'll just have to be patient. I can tell you it's in Tennessee."

"Oh, well that clears it up. Have I told you I don't like surprises?"

"No, and too bad if you don't because I love to give them to you. Just relax and enjoy the scenery."

It didn't go as quickly as I hoped. We hit the beginning of rush hour traffic out of Nashville to outlying towns, so it was closer to an hour and a half before we got close to our destination. It was southwest of Nashville. The area was an unincorporated section of Maury County called Culleoka. It was a rural setting, where most properties were several acres and the houses were in all different designs and sizes. There were no communities of the same houses everywhere. They were unique, which was one of the things which attracted me to them.

The final long dirt road I drove down was surrounded by woods on both sides. She was looking around with interest. "Misha, where are we?"

"You haven't been to Culleoka before?"

"No, I don't think so. It's so pretty out here, though. Look at the trees. They're almost ready to start changing to fall colors. Are we visiting someone?"

"Five more minutes and you'll see," I promised her.

A couple of miles further and the road changed from a gravel dirt road into a long, paved driveway. I glanced over to see her reaction when she saw our final destination. Her eyes were sparkling as she scanned the house. She looked over at me. "You have to tell me now. Who lives here? Why didn't you tell me we were visiting someone? Is it more family?"

"I didn't tell you because we're not visiting anyone. It's just us."

"You mean you rented this for the weekend? I can't believe it. It's so gorgeous and peaceful out here," she said excitedly.

"No, I didn't rent it. This is my house."

She gaped at me in surprise. "You own this? Wait, if you have a house, why do you live in town? How long have you had this place?"

"I've had it for five years. When it came on the market, I couldn't pass it up. I love the country, and the only reason I don't live out here is because it's only me. I didn't see the need to drive back and forth every day. The apartment above the club sufficed for most days, and I came here when I needed to get away for a night or a couple of days. However, if you like it, then I'd love for us to move out here."

"Wait, you want us to move here? But I just moved to the apartment."

"I know, and we don't have to move if you prefer living in town. We can keep this as our retreat, but one day, I'd like us to move, even if we build a new house out here or find another property somewhere. I can't see raising kids above the club. I want them to be able to go outside to run and play," I told her as I opened the garage door and drove inside.

When she didn't say anything, I hurried to reassure her. "I don't expect an answer right now. Just let me show you the place and spend the next couple of days here with me. See what you think and then give it some thought. We have plenty of time to decide. I've been saving this. Will you let me show you the house and why I love it?"

"Of course, you can. I admit, I'm kinda stunned, but I'm willing to consider it. I agree with giving kids space to play, and I do enjoy the country, so lead the way. I want to see everything." I heard what I hoped was a note of excitement in her voice.

I wanted to say thank you when I heard she wasn't pissed at me. Maybe I should've kept all the talk about moving here for another time, but I was excited to have her love it as much as I did. Not bothering with the bags right then, I got out and opened her door. Unlocking the inner door between the garage and the house, I led her inside. The house wasn't huge. It was just a bit more than twenty-three hundred square feet. It had three large bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms.

Since it had only ever been me out here, the master was the only bedroom furnished, along with the living room and kitchen. The breakfast nook had a small table for four. I'd never shared this place with anyone but her. It was like my special room at the apartment. I'd bought it with the vague hope that one day I'd have someone special enough to bring here, but I never felt right doing it until her.

We took our time going from room to room. I was pleased with all her comments. She appeared to love it. It had an expansive yard surrounded by thick woods on three sides. I didn't say anything, but I could picture a play set and other things for the kids in the back, along with a fenced-in pool. I had twenty acres in total. It was more than enough privacy, which I craved. When I was done showing her around, I left her to gaze out the back windows in the living room while I got our bags.

Coming back to join her when I was done, I gave her a kiss. It was almost six o'clock in the evening, and the sun would be setting in a couple of hours. Even though it was September, the weather was hot, which was perfect for my plans later. First though, I needed to make sure we had energy. I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge.

"Honey, what're you doing?" she asked as she joined me.

"I'm getting out the stuff for dinner."

"Tell me what you need me to do."

"Nothing. Just sit there, look beautiful and talk to me. Tonight is my night to cook. We're having steak and baked potatoes along with grilled asparagus."

"Yum, sounds great, but I can help."

I shook my head and walked her over to one of the stools at the island. I pulled it out and pressed her down on it. Going back to the fridge, I fixed her a glass of her favorite tea and myself a beer.

Time flew by as I worked and we talked. No matter what we were doing, even the simplest things like this, I enjoyed them with her. I never got bored with our conversations and it wasn't all me talking. We equally shared about ourselves, growing up and our work. When it was close to time for everything to be done, I set the table and lit the candles before turning off the lights. Before seating and serving her, I poured us both a glass of wine. I knew what she liked, and thankfully our tastes were similar. I didn't drink wine all the time, but when I did, I usually went for a red one.

We took our time, and I was happy with how the food turned out. I wasn't a gourmet chef, but I could handle steak and potatoes without messing them up. She ate hungrily and so did I. She was complimentary and cleaned her plate. Dinner wouldn't be complete without dessert. Making dessert was beyond me unfortunately, so I ended up buying a gourmet cheesecake. I knew it was one of her favorites. Once it was eaten and we couldn't eat another bite, we rested a few minutes before we cleaned up together, since she refused to let me do it alone. Taking a seat in the living room after we were finished, I cuddled her close. With one hunger sated, it was time to think about sating another.

It wasn't long before talking petered off and we started kissing. Any time we kissed, my hunger for her grew fast. It wasn't long before our desires grew into needing more than just our mouths connected. I'd been half hard the whole way here and throughout dinner. Now, I was fully engorged, and becoming more and more frantic to be inside of her. I'd had her this morning, but it felt like it had been days. She drew back making me growl in protest. The heat in her gaze pleased the hell outta me.

"Misha, let's go to the bedroom," she moaned, as she ran her fingers through my hair.

"No."

"No? Why not?" she asked in surprise.

"I don't want to go to the bedroom. I want to let my primal loose."

Pleasure showed on her face. "So you want to stay down here. I'm fine with that," she said as she moved, and then straddled my lap.

"Not here. Out there," I told her as I pointed outside.

Her eyes widened. "Out in the yard?"

"No, out in the woods. Your dragon needs to chase his Dove. I need you to resist me. My beast needs his mate," I growled, before nipping her neck with my teeth.

She gave a full body shiver and moaned as her head fell back. I licked up her neck to her ear. She ground her core down on my throbbing erection. As a primal, it had been years since I'd been out in the woods, not since my introduction to my kinky nature in fact.

"Will you play with me, my love? Will you let my beast have his prey?" I whispered.

"God yes, I'd love to. How do you want to do this?" she moaned brokenly.

"There's no one around for miles. I want you to go outside and strip for me but keep your shoes on. I don't want you to hurt your feet. I'll give you a head start. Hide wherever you want. Further in the woods there's an old barn. It's safe just in case you want to hide there."

"Can I have a few minutes to prepare first?"

"Absolutely."

"Stay here," she said, before giving me a quick kiss, then she got up and headed to the bedroom.

I sat there wondering what preparations she was making. I rubbed my hand over my bulge. I could feel myself leaking precum into my underwear. I wanted to get out of my clothing. I didn't know how long it was before she came back because I was lost in my fantasies about what I was going to do to her. She had braided her hair. She knew I would likely take it out as soon as I caught her. She'd changed out of her skirt and top into a pair of shorts and a tank. On her feet was a pair of simple canvas shoes. As she passed me, she licked her lips.

I lunged for her, but she danced out of reach and giggled as she ran for the back door. It was all I could do to control myself and not chase her right then. To keep myself from doing it, I went to the bedroom and stripped off my clothes. I wasn't worried about my feet, so I took everything off. Before heading out after her, I turned down the bed, set up flameless candles around the bedroom, and laid out some fun things for us to enjoy later. Having her once tonight wouldn't be nearly enough. Knowing I wanted to take my time when I caught her, I gripped my cock and stroked it. I had to take the edge off. Coming too soon was the last thing I wanted to do. The chase would only ramp up my excitement.

I pictured her naked and what she'd look like in the woods. My desire increased more. I was dripping for her as it was, but those images made me even hornier. I stood staring at the toys and imagined using them on her. It only took me a couple of minutes to feel the tingle in my balls growing, then they began to draw up tight. A few more hard strokes had me grunting as my cum shot out on my stomach. I groaned as squirt after squirt relieved some of the pressure in my balls. After shooting my load, I had to sit for a few minutes to regain my senses. When I thought I could walk, I wiped my seed off with a washcloth. I'd waited long enough. It was time to go find my Dove and mate with her. By the time I was done with her tonight, she'd have no doubts I was beyond hungry for her.

Rushing to the back door, I flung it open and took off. I wanted to howl at the joy racing through me. It was like instincts took over my mind and body. The warm air caressed my body. There was a breeze blowing gently, but enough to stir the leaves. I saw clouds rolling in. The forecast said no rain, but it appeared they might have gotten it wrong. No matter, as long as it didn't turn into a terrible storm, it would only enhance our play. The sun had set, but it was still light out. There was to be a full moon tonight. Another reason I picked these days. No way did I want her running in pitch black woods. I didn't want her to get hurt.

Since the yard was pretty open and flat other than some trees scattered around, it only took a cursory look to determine she'd headed into the woods like I wanted. The woods would take much longer to search, but I doubted being her first time in it, she'd stray too far from the paths inside it. The barn was about a half mile in there.

Elation for the hunt was rising in me. I took my time searching behind the larger trees along the paths. There were some deadfalls, which would make great hiding places, too. I thoroughly checked them all. Even as eager as I was, I didn't want it to end too soon.

As I searched, I called out, "Dove, I'm coming for you. You'd better hide."

After checking out another section, I drew close to the barn. I yelled again, making sure she could hear the growl in my voice. "When I catch you, I'm eating that pussy until you scream, then I'm gonna fuck you so good and fill you full of my seed. You'll be dripping for days when I get done with you."

I paused to listen to see if I heard anything. Nothing. Damn, did she go further into the woods? I went to the barn and opened the door. Inside was dark as hell. Lucky for me. I kept a battery-operated camping lamp out there. I found it on the wall and turned it on. The inside had bales of hay and some farm equipment I hadn't bothered to get rid of in it. Overhead was a hay loft. I decided to start at the top and work my way down. Climbing the wooden ladder, I reached the loft. It was empty, so all it took was a quick scan and I knew she wasn't there.

Climbing back down, I went to the nearest pile of hay bales. I was coming back around from searching behind them and was going toward a hay bailer when I saw a flash of movement and heard a rustling sound. As the light from the lamp hit the object moving, I saw her. I growled deeply, which made her squeal as she ran to the door. My inner animal raised his head, and the hunt was on. I chased after her.

She was running hard and weaving in and out of trees. I caught her looking over her shoulder. Even in the dim light, I could see elation mixed with a bit of fear and desire. She was loving it, and we hadn't even gotten to the good parts yet.

"Run little Dove, but you won't get away. This dragon is having you in every way."

She cried out as she ducked around a deadfall. I increased my speed. It was time to catch her and see how much of a fight she put up. As I sped up, I felt a drop of water hit me. Looking up, a few more hit my face. Shit, it was raining.

I made sure to growl, grunt, howl, and even roar as I gave chase even harder. I was gaining on her, and I could tell she was trying to find a place to hide, but she was too late. I ran faster and was soon right behind her. She shrieked when she saw me. She was busy looking back at me and didn't see the small branch on the ground in front of her. As she tripped on it and fell, I reached out and wrapped her in my arms, preventing her from hitting the ground and hurting herself. She screamed as I did.

I lifted her off the ground. She was struggling to get loose but I had her arms pinned. Her legs though were free, and she kicked like a mule. I widen my stance to get my legs out of her way. Despite that, she still scored a couple of times and they hurt. I nipped the back of her neck with my teeth. She threw back her head to catch me in the face, but I dodged it.

"Let go," she yelled. My Dove got into the role perfectly.

"No, you're mine now. I can and will do anything I want with you."

"What do you want, damn you?"

"I want to eat your pussy until you scream and come in my mouth. Then I want to sink my cock into your tight, hot pussy and fuck you until we both come. Hell, I even want that tight asshole of yours. I want my seed in every hole. And when you beg me to stop, I'll give you more. I want to consume you," I told her.

Talking about it and having her struggle in my arms had me dripping. My cock was so damn hard it hurt. I pressed it hard into her back. She whimpered before she answered me.

"If that's what you want, then you'll have to make me give it to you. I'll fight. I only want the strongest dragon as my mate," she hissed.

Fuck, she'd been studying on the side. She'd never said this to me before, but God did it turn me on even more.

"Then fight, Dove."

Next thing I knew, her nails bit into my forearms and she scratched them hard. Hard enough to almost draw blood. I hissed. Then she pinched me harder. I laughed.

"You'll have to do better than that, my love."

"Oh, I will," she said right before she bowed her body away from mine, then slammed it back. She caught my cock between us. Thankfully, it was lying against my stomach, but it still hurt like hell, especially when she pinched my balls. I couldn't help but cry out, and my arms automatically loosened to let go, so I could cup myself. That's what the little witch wanted. She wiggled like a slippery eel, and next thing I knew she was out of my arms and running again.

I had to catch my breath and let the pain recede a moment or two, before I took off after her. I let out a roar. She squealed and tried to run faster, but I had been holding back before. Not now. I chased her hard. She didn't get far before I caught her. I pinned her to a tree with her facing away from me. I knew the bark was biting into her skin. She whimpered. I bit her shoulder then licked it.

Pressing into her, I wedged my cock between her ass cheeks and rubbed it hard up and down her slick folds. Fuck, she was so wet. The rain was coming down harder, too. My hands gripped her tits and I squeezed them. "I should shove my cock in you right now. I bet you'd take it all wouldn't you?"

"No, I don't want it," she yelled. She was trying to press away from the tree, but I held her fast.

Moving my hips, I pressed the head to her tight asshole. She froze. We'd played with fingers and even small toys, but I hadn't truly fucked her ass. We'd been building up to it. I'd never just take her like that, but I would threaten her.

"What if I take this ass?"

She shuddered. I pushed slightly, but not enough to breach her. I waited to hear her use her safe words. I hadn't done this to her before. I hoped it wasn't going too far. And that she knew I would never actually do it. "Remember your words," I whispered.

She didn't utter either of them. Instead, she wiggled against me. I groaned at the sensation. I closed my eyes for a second. She caught me off guard when I did. I jerked as her teeth bit into my arm. Despite the pain, I held on and swung her around, taking her to the ground. I eased back, so she could try to get away. My excitement was so goddamn high I was ready to burst. I planned to play longer, but she had me on the edge.

She flipped onto her back, and then somehow rolled me so she was on top. She went on the attack. She scratched and bit, but in between, she licked and sucked, too. Not wanting her to have the upper hand, I rolled her under me again, and quickly slid down to pry her thighs apart. I didn't wait to attack her soaked pussy with my mouth and fingers. She screamed and tugged on my hair, but I didn't stop.

I ate her like a hungry animal with his first meal in weeks. She beat on my upper back and shoulders, but I kept going. The taste of her and her scent drove me even wilder. I need her to come, so I could fuck her. The rain hitting my back only added to the sensory overload. Thankfully, it was warm rain.

Sucking her clit then nibbling on it as I finger fucked her and licked all over her folds made her cream even more. After a few minutes of that, I could tell she was ready to blow, so I bit down on her clit and growled as I thrashed it with the tip of my tongue. She screamed long and loud as she came shaking. She flooded my mouth with her sweetness, and I gladly lapped up every bit of it.

I let her stop shaking, barely, before I was up and I turned her over onto her stomach. She whimpered. Mud coated her back. You might think it was a turn off, but it wasn't. Grabbing her hips, I jerked her to her knees. I ran my hands up her sides and over her back. It was slick from the rain and mud. I massaged the rain and mud over her skin. I leaned over her back, blanketing her.

I kneeled on one knee, while the other leg was bent with my foot on the ground. I raked my teeth down the side of her throat and told her hoarsely, "You lose. Submit. Give me my pussy. Let your mate mount you."

She didn't give it to me immediately. She made me wait for her answer, ramping up my urge more. Finally, after what felt like forever she nodded. "I'm yours, Dragon. Take me. Fill me with your seed."

I didn't say a word before I thrust my cock into her in one hard stroke. She cried out and threw back her head. I used my hands on her hips to move her back and forth on my cock. Jesus, she was tighter than I remembered. She was hugging me like a fucking glove. She was so warm and wet. My fingers were biting into her hips. I hoped I wouldn't leave too many bruises. I tried to ease up.

"Harder," came her broken plea when I did.

I gave her what she wanted. The sound of our skin slapping together all wet and my balls hitting her folds was heaven. I couldn't stop my grunts and growls. She was whimpering and moaning, as she slammed back to meet my thrusts. It was hard, raw, and almost brutal, but at the same time it was amazing and fucking unreal. Never had I felt this or been this wild for anyone.

Wanting to change position, I reached up and grabbed her braid. I used it to pull her head back, which bowed her back, then it had her lifting toward me. Once her back was flush to my chest, I moved her so she rode me while I sat back on my heels. Holding her hair in one fist, I wrapped the other around her throat and tightened it just enough to make it slightly harder for her to breathe. I knew she liked it because she grew wetter.

"That's it. Come for me, Dove. Your dragon needs you to milk his cock. I need to come. Harder," I panted.

She sped up riding me and I felt my balls tightening and the tingles were rushing up from my feet. "Touch yourself," I ordered.

She did as I asked, and it only took a few strokes over her engorged clit to make her detonate. She sobbed and screamed my name as she came. She squeezed me so tightly, I thought for a moment she was gonna cut my cock in half. I made it two more strokes then I came. You'd think after jacking off in the house, I wouldn't have much of a load, but I did. I grunted and roared as I pumped her full. As I did, the need to have her pregnant hit me again. This was it. She was stopping the birth control so I could breed her. I didn't care what I had to do to convince her.

As we came down from our incredible highs, we slumped to the ground. I rolled off her, so I wouldn't hurt her. She crawled on top of me, curled up like a kitten, and laid her head on my chest. "That was incredible, Misha. Oh God, we'll never top that," she whispered.

"Challenge accepted, my love," I told her as I chuckled. She moaned.
