Chapter Five

MAYA

Of all the ways she'd imagined this vacation getaway turning out, being carried off into the forest by a man who couldn't possibly exist was not one of them. But here she was, looking up at Kael Tallstrider, the one and only Bigfoot she'd ever briefly glimpsed. It was like her entire life had led up to this moment, as if the stars themselves had conspired to bring them together.

Kael was as magnificent as he stared down at her. His muscular frame was covered in thick, shaggy fur that rippled with each movement he made. He smelled of pine and earth, a wild scent that made her want to bury her face in his shoulder. His piercing green eyes held the secrets of the forest, and when they met hers, she felt she could drown in their depths.

Maya knew she should be frightened or repulsed by his monstrous appearance, but instead, she shivered with excitement, her body yearning for his touch. The heat emanating off him seeped into her bones, and she wanted to mold her body against his. When he held her, she felt safe from the world, and she yearned for that feeling once more.

Was that the mate bond?

Maya glanced down at his lap, not-so-subtly admiring that Kael was just as captivated by her as she was by him. While he was not wearing clothes, she hadn't noticed his penis until it became apparent how much he wanted her. It was damned enormous and fascinating. Her fingers wanted to clamp around the massive girth.

"Kael," she said, her voice thick with longing. "Kiss me."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"More than anything," she breathed, closing her eyes and tilting her head back in anticipation. This wasn't her. She wasn't an easy lay. She wasn't one of those girls with a monster dildo that you put on the floor with a suction cup. Although, she had to admit, she had been curious. This, though? This went beyond curiosity. It was a need, a necessity.

Kael pressed his lips against hers in a tender, yet hungry kiss. Maya melted into his embrace. His fur was soft against her skin, and she couldn't get enough of him. Their kisses deepened, tongues dancing together in a sensual tango that left them both panting for air. Kael's hands roamed up her shirt, caressing the curve of her back before he brazenly cupped her breast through her bra. Maya moaned into his mouth, arching her back to give him better access.

Kael growled low in his chest, a primal sound that sent shivers down her spine. He broke their kiss, trailing his lips down her neck, nipping and sucking on sensitive skin. Maya' s toes curled, and she had to clutch his shoulders to keep him close.

He slid her jeans down her legs, revealing her sensible cotton panties, soaked through with desire. He inhaled sharply, his nostrils flaring, and Maya felt a heady rush of power.

"You're so beautiful," he rumbled, his voice choked with emotion.

Taking off her shirt, Kael trailed kisses down her neck and across her chest. He took his time, savoring every inch of her skin as Maya squirmed beneath him. Her breath came in pants, her nipples hardening even more against the lace fabric of her bra. He used his claws to slice it off her, and her breasts bounced free.

"That was expensive," she choked out, but when his fingers gently pinched her nipples, she found it hard to hold on to her outrage.

"You won't need it anymore."

He slid her panties down her legs, revealing her swollen, aroused core. Kael's eyes darkened, and he growled, a deep, primal sound that reverberated through her bones. He moved from her neck down to her chest, lavishing attention on each nipple with his warm, wet mouth. The sensation caused her to arch her back, pressing herself further into his touch. She clung to him, her fingers entwined in his thick fur, feeling small and vulnerable yet fiercely powerful all at once.

"Mine," he growled possessively, latching on to her nipple, sucking hard enough to leave a mark.

"Yours," Maya whimpered, her thighs trembling with anticipation.

Kael kissed down her body and nuzzled her thighs, each brush of his fur sent her into overdrive. He parted her legs gently, revealing her glistening arousal to his hungry gaze. His tongue was wide and long, perfect for worshipping her most sensitive areas. It flicked out, lapping at her folds, tasting her arousal. Maya arched her back. With exquisite precision, Kael licked her clit, lapping up her juices while she squirmed beneath him.

"God, Kael," she moaned, unable to form a coherent thought.

His rough tongue was unlike anything she'd ever experienced, and she thrashed on the bed, lost in sensation. His tongue flicked at her clit, circling it before plunging back inside her depths, thrusting in time with her hips. The pleasure built within her, coiling tighter and tighter until she was a coiled spring, ready to snap. He fucked her with his tongue, sending her into a frenzy of bliss as she rode his face.

Her back arched off the bed of furs, hips bucking as Kael continued to lick her into oblivion. Wave after wave of pleasure crashed over her, and she cried out his name, her climax shaking her to her very core. As her orgasm subsided, Maya collapsed into a boneless mess, her chest heaving with the aftershocks of the most powerful orgasm she'd ever experienced.

Kael nuzzled her thighs, licking up every drop of her essence, relishing the quivers that racked her body. Then, he sat up. His large finger traced a teasing path down her body, making her shiver in anticipation. As he pushed his finger inside her, stretching her gently, she gasped at the sensation.

"Maya," Kael rumbled, his voice deep and full of warmth, "I'm getting your body ready for my cock. I'll be gentle, but I need you to trust me."

She nodded, her eyes locked with his, feeling the intensity of their connection. As Kael slowly penetrated her over and over again with his finger, Maya couldn't resist reaching out to touch his enormous member. It was unlike anything she had ever seen or felt before—hot, throbbing, and pulsing with life. She rubbed it lovingly, her fascination making it swell even larger. A flicker of worry crossed her mind as she wondered how it would ever fit inside her.

"Kael," she whispered, her voice tinged with both awe and trepidation. "It's so big. Will it hurt?"

"Trust me," he repeated, his gaze never wavering from hers. As he pushed a second finger inside her, she moaned, her body craving more of him.

Unable to stop herself, she wrapped her hands around his girth and guided him towards her open mouth. Kael's cock, hot and velvety, barely fit in her mouth. The scent of pine and musk intoxicating her senses as she licked the head. Savoring his salty, musky flavor, she rubbed her hands up and down his massive shaft.

Inch by inch, she took him into her mouth, her jaw aching, but the look of pure ecstasy on Kael's face spurred her on. His hands tangled in her hair, urging her on as she bobbed her head up and down, taking him as deep as she could.

Taking a deep breath, Maya attempted to deep throat him, only to gag as he released his seed down her throat. She swallowed as much as she could, savoring the taste that was uniquely Kael. She wanted more of him, more of this wild, primal connection they shared. Cum spilled out of her mouth and down her chest.

Kael rubbed the thick liquid over Maya's breasts, the sensation of his warm seed against her skin igniting a fire within her. He trailed his cock over them, leaving a trail of slick desire that made her tremble with every touch. She arched her back, wanting more of him, needing more.

"Fuck me. Fuck me now."

"Are you sure?" Kael rumbled. " We can take our time. I'm more than willing to keep pleasuring you until you're ready."

His words were tender, caring, but they only served to stoke the flames within her, pushing her to the brink. "No, Kael," she panted, "I need you now. I feel like I'm going to explode if you don't claim me."

Feeling reckless and utterly fearless, she guided Kael toward her entrance, unsure how it would ever fit. But as he began to push inside her, she stretched to accommodate him—a slow, delicious burn that made her quiver with anticipation. His thumb brushed her clit in gentle circles, coaxing her legs wider, urging her body to accept him fully. Maya's world exploded in a burst of white-hot pleasure. His girth stretched her wider than she ever thought possible, yet instead of pain, she felt only bliss. Each thrust stoked the flames of her desire higher and higher until she was writhing beneath him, her orgasm building like an unstoppable inferno.

As they connected, the very air around them pulsed with energy, and for a brief moment, the entire forest fell silent—even the wind ceased to rustle the leaves overhead. They paused, savoring the profound connection between them, their hearts beating in perfect sync.

"Maya," Kael whispered, his breath hot against her skin, "you are my everything. My mate, my love, my destiny."

No one had ever said those words to her before. No one had ever even come close. And she felt those words in her very soul, as if they were written there on the day she had been born.

"I love you too," she said, realizing that it was true, no matter how unrealistic it should be.

With the suddenness of a summer storm, Kael roared and began to thrust into Maya with fervor. She clung to his broad shoulders, her legs wrapped around his powerful torso, as if trying to anchor herself in the midst of an exhilarating roller coaster ride. Each plunge of his cock sent shivers of pleasure down her spine, surpassing anything she'd ever experienced before.

As their bodies moved together in perfect harmony, Maya couldn't shake the thought that she should be repulsed by the monster inside her. But instead, she found herself craving him even more—embracing the wild, untamed passion that had brought them together. If being fucked by a monster was wrong, then she never wanted to be right.

Their rhythm intensified, each thrust driving them closer and closer to the edge. Maya's breath grew ragged, her body aching for release. And as Kael buried himself deep within her one final time, they both erupted in ecstasy, their roars of pleasure echoing through the silent forest.

As the waves of euphoria subsided, Kael gently withdrew from her and pulled her close, his massive arms enveloping her in a tender embrace. Their hearts thudded against each other, their breath mingling in the still air.

"Maya," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion, "you will always be a part of me, as I am a part of you."

She clung to him, the enormity of what had just transpired weighing down on her. How could she ever return her life in the city, knowing that Kael couldn't be with her? She'd worry about that later, though. Right now, she just wanted to enjoy these newfound and impossible feelings.

"Bigfoot exists," she said, nuzzling her face into Kael's chest. "And he belongs to me."
