Chapter 20

Orsu

With Julie's taste on my tongue and her naked body before me, I was ready to claim my mate. I wanted her more than I had ever wanted anything.

The elders had told us how intense one's need was for their mate during luminescence, but I could have never imagined this. This feeling ran deep into my bones. It was an ancient call from the beast within me to claim my mate, cover her in my scent, and fill her with my seed.

Just as I was about to lay with Julie in the furs, however, she got up and wrapped the top fur over herself, hiding her body from me.

"Have you changed your mind, my mate? We do not need to mate tonight if you do not wish to." My need, as feral as it was, was secondary to Julie's consent. If she did not want to lay with me as mates, then I would spend the rest of my night holding her as I willed my cock to soften.

"I haven't changed my mind." There was a gleam in her eyes and a mischievous tone to her voice that I hadn't heard before.

My mate was many things, but mischievous was not one of them; at least, not up until now.

She slowly backed away from me, which confused me further. If she hadn't changed her mind then why was she putting distance between us?

Julie got all the way to the entrance of our private cave before finally stopping.

"I want you now more than I've ever wanted you, Orsu. Do you want me?"

"More than anything," my voice came out as a growl. I couldn't help it. My beast was simmering at the edge of my soul, dying to be fully released.

"Do you want me badly enough to chase me? Would you run through the darkness of night to find me again?" She was toying with me. I did not know why, but I would play her game.

"I would kidnap you all over again to have you in my life like I do now."

"Good. Come get me, then." That was the last word she spoke before she took off in a run down the back corridor.

As soon as Julie took off something inside of me snapped. The last shred of self-control I had left disappeared. My beast was in control now. It would find Julie and I'd claim her.

Julie

I let out a giggle of delight as I ran from my mate. I was taking a risk having him chase me inside the mountain like this, but it would be worth it in the end. My plan was to run to the ridge we'd dubbed ‘lovers lane', but when I saw Brexl coming in from outside an even better plan formed in my head.

I squeezed past the scarred hunter before he could move the boulder back into place. He let out a grunt of surprise as I ran by and I didn't know if it was because I was glowing or running in nothing but a blanket, but at this moment in time, I couldn't bring myself to care. This was Orsu and I's first luminescence and I wanted it to be one we'd remember forever.

I heard Orsu roar as I took my first step outside. I braved a glance behind me and smiled at my bear shifter. He sure looked feral now.

I took off again onto the soft pink grass. I caught sight of the treeline at the edge of the clearing and made a mad dash for it. My legs were pumping and my heart was beating fast but despite my best efforts I didn't make it far.

Orsu tackled me beside the dwindling bonfire. His eyes were full of heat as he caged me in between his large furry arms.

I heard his claws dig into the dirt on either side of my head as he held himself stiffly above me. He was desperately trying to hold onto the last bit of self-control he had, and that simply would not do.

I shimmed down his body, letting the blanket I'd stolen come off in the grass beneath me.

I gripped his hips with my hands and licked his cock from base to tip. He growled my name like a warning, but I ignored him. I was going to meet his beast tonight.

I covered his tip with my mouth and sucked hard. His hips bucked, shoving his cock even further into my mouth. I let out an approving hum causing him to buck again.

Then I moved my hand from his hip to the base of his tail and gave him a rough tug. That did him in. He'd finally had enough of my games.

With one swift movement he sat up on his haunches, removing his cock from my mouth, and flipped me over so I was on my knees before him, my pussy lining up perfectly with his cock.

I let out a whimper of anticipation. I'd toyed with him for too long. I needed him now more than ever.

He slid one of his claws down my back, causing me to shiver. Then I felt his breath tickle my neck as he growled, "I'm going to claim you until you scream my name. Would you like that, little mate?"

"Yes," I whimpered again.

With one rough thrust Orsu was inside me and the feeling was nothing short of divine. He let out a growl of pleasure as he filled me to the brim, stretching me to my limit.

He thrust into me again and again at a brutal pace. There was no slow build up this time. This was not like the sweet love making we'd done in the past. This was a claiming.

It didn't take long for another orgasm to build up within me. His ridges inside my channel grazed my g-spot every time Orsu moved. My pleasure went up, up, up with each thrust until I cried out his name and lost all touch with reality. My orgasm overtook me, giving me wings to fly through clouds of bliss.

The glow in my veins pulsed in time with my orgasm, casting light onto the clearing all around us. The entire forest would bear witness to the pleasure my mate was bringing me. Every creature and beast would know I had been claimed, and I loved that.

Orsu cried out my name as he came shortly after, and together we collapsed on the grass boneless and panting. He ran his fingers up and down my arm as we lay there looking up at the stars.

"You are feisty, my mate," he teased me. "Making me chase you into the night."

"Mmm," I moaned in response.

"Did I hurt you?" Orsu swallowed hard as he asked his question.

"Not at all," I turned to face him. "I wanted to see you as feral as the night we first met."

He chuckled and pulled me in tighter. "We should get back inside before any of the beasts notice our presence."

"Okay," I let out a resigned sigh. I'd had my fun. If it weren't for the predators roaming the forest, I'd want to stay out here under the stars.

Orsu wrapped me in his blanket and carried me back inside the mountain.

Orsu

I laid Julie on the furs and admired her glowing body. I didn't think I'd ever get used to the sight of my mate glowing for me. My luminescence, my Julie.

Claiming her out in the clearing had been the most exciting thing I'd done in my entire life, but I was happy to be back in the safety of the mountain where I could claim my mate again and again without the fear of a beast discovering us.

I wanted to claim her again now. She looked so perfect, so soft atop the furs. I ran a finger down a bright glowing vein that ran from her wrist to her elbow and she shivered.

"Tickles," she smiled.

Her smile faded into a more heated look and her arousal scent filled the room.

"Orsu." My name came out as a plea and I knew exactly what she needed.

"Come, my mate. Take your pleasure. I am yours."

I laid on my back and beckoned Julie to come closer.

She straddled my cock with her warm cunt hovering over me, teasing me with the promise of pleasure to come.

Julie slowly lowered herself onto my hard length and I let out a hiss as her tight heat squeezed my cock for the second time tonight.

"God Orsu, you feel so good," she moaned as she moved her hips back and forth.

I grunted in response. It was all I could manage. Even after so many matings it was still a struggle for me not to come as soon as I felt my mate's sweet warmth engulf me.

"Ride me, Julie," I pleaded. I loved watching her ride me, take her pleasure, and grind her cunt against my ridges.

Julie did I as I asked and leaned down so her stomach pressed against mine. Then she shifted her hips back and forth to get as much friction as she could against what she called my ‘happy trail of ridges.'

She moaned again as she slowly slid up and down my body, grinding against me in the most delightful ways.

Her chest was growing red and her cunt was fluttering with each movement she made. I knew she was close.

I held her hips steady as I took control and pistoned into my mate over and over again. I held her tight against me so she'd feel every ridge from the tip of my cock to the bottom of my navel drag against her.

She stiffened above me and let out a guttural cry as an orgasm washed over her. The tight squeeze of her cunt did me in and I came with her.

I released into my mate as her channel squeezed me over and over again, milking every last drop of seed from my body.

Julie collapsed on top of me looking as boneless as I felt. I nuzzled my nose into her hair and drank deep of her sweet floral scent. This was going to be an amazing night.
