PHANTOM

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, inspecting the growth on the lower half of my face. Inside the medicine cabinet was a razor and shaving cream, and I debated whether to use it.

The night I had to leave, Tessa had looked hot as fuck in one of my T-shirts, and it had taken every ounce of my control to simply hold her while she slept and not take it any farther. But I wasn't going to rush through our first time together. When I left at four o’clock the next morning, I kissed her forehead and whispered that I loved her and to be safe.

The only reason I felt comfortable leaving her at all was because we kept the compound locked down tight. And Mac had promised to stay at the clubhouse, along with a couple of other brothers who knew multiple ways to kill a person, until I returned. He’d also agreed to one more favor—I asked him to have Tessa’s property patch and vest ready when I got home.

I’d just returned after being gone for four days and headed straight to my bathroom to take a shower. It was only around midnight, but Tessa was fast asleep in my bed. All I wanted to do was crawl in there with her, but I wouldn't do that without washing away the filth from the past four days. Literally and figuratively.

After a frigid shower, I had planned to shave, but something stopped me. After a few minutes, I admitted the truth to myself. I wouldn’t be able to hold back from Tessa for much longer. When I finally took her cherry, I wanted to see my whisker burn all over her silky skin, branding her on the outside the same way I intended to on the inside.

Quietly, I opened the bathroom door, quickly shutting off the light so it wouldn’t wake her, then I padded naked over to the bed and slipped under the covers. Tessa immediately rolled toward me, plastering herself against my side with a soft sigh.

I was pleased when I didn’t see her wince at the movement because I’d been worried about her pain. Patch had kept me informed, but I would always want to see to her care myself, so it bugged the fuck out of me that I wasn’t there.

Tessa snuggled even closer, throwing a leg across mine and an arm over my chest. Her knee bumped my groin, and I groaned at the sharp pain that shot through my hard, swollen cock.

The sound must have woken her because she froze, then slowly raised her head and blinked sleepily. “Kian?” she whispered.

“Hey, sweet girl,” I murmured, bending my head down to brush my lips over hers.

When I retreated, she had a dreamy smile on her gorgeous face. “Welcome home.” Then her cheeks heated as her gaze dropped to my chest. “I missed you.”

I wrapped a hand around her thigh and held her leg around me as I rolled us so she was on her back, and I hovered above her. “Missed you, too, baby.”

She gasped when I dropped down on top of her, pressing our bodies together and nestling my hard-on in the apex of her thighs. “Barely thought about anything besides getting back to you,” I growled. “Dying to feel your skin against mine, to be inside you, to hear you scream my name. Can’t fucking wait to get inside your tight virgin pussy and take your cherry. Gonna make you mine.”

Tessa’s face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with desire, but she still looked adorably shy. “I…um…I want that, too.”

I stared into her jade pools, making sure she didn’t miss the intensity of my next words. “Once I get inside you, there’s no going back, sweet girl. You’ll be mine. Only mine. Understand?”

She nodded, but that wasn’t enough for me. “I want to hear you say it, Tessa.”

“I’m yours,” she breathed, tightening the leg curled around my waist.

“All fucking mine,” I grunted before I slammed my mouth down onto hers.

The moment our lips touched, need raced through me like a forest fire. I had to get her naked. Now .

Without losing our connection, I lifted my hips, reached between us, and grasped her panties, tearing them away. Then I slipped my hands under my shirt that she’d worn and gently glided them up her torso, pushing the hem up over her tits. Ripping my mouth from hers, I smirked at her whimper of protest, which turned into a yelp when I wrapped my lips around one of her pink nipples.

I suckled the bud while I shoved the shirt the rest of the way up and pulled it off, tossing it over the side of the bed. When I lowered my body, my skin sizzled anywhere we touched, and I groaned in bliss. My fingers twisted and plucked her other stiff peak, and I rocked my big cock against her pussy.

“Kian!” she gasped, and her other leg curled around my waist.

I switched sides as I continued to rock against her until I felt my dick sliding easily through her soaked pussy lips.

“So fucking wet,” I rasped when I released her nipple with a pop. I returned to her mouth, pushing my tongue inside and exploring her decadent taste.

She’d become so slick that my long, fat cock parted her folds and rubbed her clit, making her clench her legs and moan. When the tip bumped against her entrance, I knew I needed to stop. She wasn’t ready for my invasion yet.

I pulled away, and she chased my lips with a frustrated grunt, then glared at me while I took her legs from around me and spread them as wide as they would comfortably go. Smirking, I winked and slowly moved down her body, kissing each nipple before licking a ring around her belly button, then settled my shoulders between her thighs.

“Fuck, you’re gorgeous,” I rasped as my eyes feasted on the sight of her drenched and swollen pink pussy. Licking my lips in anticipation, I glanced up when she tensed.

“Relax, baby,” I crooned. “Do you trust me?”

Her immediate nod caused warmth to spread through my chest, and I kissed each of her thighs to let her know her response pleased me. Then I parted her southern lips and licked her from bottom to top, though I carefully avoided her little bundle of nerves.

“Kian!” she gasped as her hands tunneled through my hair. Her hands clutched my head as if to keep me from pulling away. Yeah, that was not fucking happening. Her pussy was the sweetest thing I’d ever tasted, and I was officially addicted.

I lapped at her center over and over, coming close to but never touching her clit. When she was strung tighter than a drum and begging for more, I sucked the hard little nub into my mouth just as I plunged a finger into her channel. It was a tight fit, and I worried she might not stretch enough to take my whole length and girth. But she was fucking made for me, so I tossed the worry away and focused on priming her for my invasion.

My cheeks hollowed out as I sucked and curled my finger up to graze her most sensitive inner spot. Tessa screamed and splintered apart. Her muscles clamped around my digit, and her pussy flooded my mouth with her sweet nectar. I didn’t wait for her to come down from her climax before I started working her toward another and managed to get a second finger inside her. When she came again, I slipped in a third.

“Fuck,” I grunted. “Gonna squeeze the fuck outta my dick, sweet girl. Can’t wait to fuck you deep and feel you come around me. Gonna fill this virgin pussy with so much come you’ll be dripping for days.”

“Kian,” she moaned. “It’s too much. I can’t take any more.”

“You will,” I commanded.

I removed my fingers from her sex and crawled back up her body, wrapping her legs around me again and positioning my tip at her entrance. My mouth captured hers in a deep kiss as I slowly pushed inside her, stopping frequently to let her stretch to accommodate my size. Her inner muscles clenched, and pleasure streaked from my dick to my balls, making them tingle. I wasn’t going to last long.

Steeling up my control, I worked in another inch as I kissed my way from her mouth and down her neck to her tits. Tessa arched her back and tightened her legs, making me groan in ecstasy. Suddenly, I felt resistance and stopped, releasing her nipple and concentrating hard on staying still so I didn’t rip her to shreds by shoving my dick balls deep in one explosive thrust.

“Relax, baby,” I told her softly. I fucking hated that I had to hurt her, but nothing would stop me from making her mine.

I slipped a hand between us and manipulated her clit until she undulated against me, crying out in need. Finally, I dove in, breaking through her barrier and burying myself from root to tip, then used every bit of my energy to stop. It was the hardest fucking thing I’d ever done.

But the tears on her cheeks when I looked at her tugged at my heart, and I forgot about everything except her pain. I wiped them away with my thumbs before cradling her beautiful face between my palms and kissing her tenderly. “I’m sorry, sweet girl.”

Tessa took a deep breath and gave me a watery smile. “It’s feeling better now. I feel…um, stretched and, um, really full.”

I clenched my jaw, barely restraining myself while I waited for her to give me the green light. “You’re killing me, Tessa,” I gritted out.

“I think…would…would you move?”

“Fuck, yes,” I growled before withdrawing a couple of inches and sliding back in.

“Yessss,” she moaned, pressing her head back into the pillow. “More.”

This time, I pulled out to the tip, then slammed back in, shouting at the bliss that filled me when her pussy throbbed around my cock.

She gasped, and my eyes shot to her face, seeing her slight wince.

“Fuck!” I growled. “Did I hurt you?”

Tessa looked as if she might lie, but when she saw the dark expression on my face, she muttered, “Just a little. My ribs are still a tiny bit sore.”

“Shit.” I had to stop, but I didn’t know how the fuck I was going to find the strength.

“Please, Kian,” she begged, gliding her hands down my back to grip my ass. “Don’t stop. It feels better than it hurts. Please. I need you.”

Hearing her beg for my dick and the breathy way she said my name scattered my thoughts.

“Tell me if it becomes too much,” I grunted. When she nodded, I moved again, slowly dragging my cock out and then gently gliding back in. My jaw was clenched so tight from holding back that I wouldn't have been surprised if I cracked a tooth.

“I won’t break, Kian,” she whispered in my ear. “Fuck me.”

Her words sent all the blood left in my body drained to my cock. Just enough sanity remained so that I was aware of her ribs, but my primal instincts took over.

“So fucking sexy when you beg, sweet girl. You want my cock fucking this tight pussy until you can’t walk without feeling me inside you?”

“Yesss,” she hissed, squeezing her channel and milking my dick, bringing me closer to orgasm.

“That’s it, baby. Take me all the way. Wanna hear you screaming my name. Fuck! Yes, Tessa! Fuck!”

“Yes, yes! Oh, Kian!” Tessa cried out, her nails digging into my ass cheeks as her hips bucked up to meet each thrust.

It suddenly hit me that I was bare inside her, but before I could even consider pulling out, the Neanderthal inside me roared at the idea of breeding my woman. I wanted Tessa tied to me in every way, and the image of my woman sporting a swollen belly had come spurting from my cock.

“Are you on birth control?” I growled as I continued to pound her pussy, driving her higher.

“What…? Oh, gosh. Oh, yes!”

She blinked a few times, trying to clear away the fog, but I wouldn’t let up my pace, making sure she wasn’t thinking clearly. It was an asshole move, but I wouldn’t let her stop me from getting what I wanted.

“Birth control,” I grunted again.

“Um…no…I—oh, oh…Kian! Yes! Yes!”

Knowing her womb was unprotected filled me with satisfaction, and I knew I wouldn’t last any longer.

Tessa writhed with passion, close to peaking, so I sucked on one of her nipples as I reached between us and pinched her clit. She threw her head back and screamed my name, sending me over the edge with her.

I shouted in ecstasy and exploded inside her, shooting jet after jet of hot come into her ripe body. It seemed impossible that I could have so much seed, filling her until it leaked and dripped down her thighs. But it just kept coming until I finally collapsed on top of her, empty and utterly spent.

Mindful of my weight and her ribs, I held her close as I rolled to my back, keeping her on top of me and my still hard cock buried inside her.

“Mine,” I grunted as I held her close, her body fitting perfectly into mine. “You’re mine.”

“Yours,” she agreed softly, filling me with that warmth again.

We stayed like that for a while, but I knew she'd be even more sore if I didn’t take care of her. So I eventually pulled out and padded over to the bathroom, cleaning myself before taking a warm, wet cloth out and tenderly caring for her. When I spotted the whisker burns on her thighs, around her tits, and several other spots, I almost said fuck it and took her again. However, I didn’t want to cause her more pain, and I doubted her ribs could take another round any more than her pussy.

So I climbed into bed and pulled her into my arms, holding her close as we fell asleep.
