CALLIE

A ll the doubt she had felt washed away in the bath. No one had ever made her feel so taken care of but like an equal at the same time. That was what Khuldruk did. He made her feel like she was the most important thing, that he would take care of her, but also that he would allow her to be who she was and respect her opinion. They were both important to her, because being here in this new space, she needed some power and agency, but she was ready to turn those over to him for the time being and just let him do what she could tell his body was ready to. Plus, if the way she yearned for him and her body sang at his touch was any indication, her body wanted it just as bad.

"Are you ready for this?" he asked as he laid her on the bed and crawled over her.

Calli bit her lip and looked between them at his giant cock and the bulbous bit at the base. His giant dick had stretched her to capacity last night, but that knot... She just wasn't sure it would fit.

"Calli," he rasped and tilted her head back up to his eyes. "I know you are worried, but I assure you, you will find it pleasurable."

She nodded and pulled him down to her for a kiss. While her tongue explored his mouth, his hand explored her body. The way he touched her drove her crazy. The way he seemed to instinctively know what she liked and how she liked it was part of the mating bond, she was sure, but she was very grateful for it nonetheless.

"I'm ready," she said with a moan as he kissed her throat.

"First," he said as his hand down her already-dripping slit. "I am going to take you gently. When I have you ready, I’m going to start the rut. That will not be gentle, but..." he said as she traced his touch along her collarbone, "I promise, it will bring you pleasure."

She began to grind against his fingers toying with her clit, the doubt she felt evaporating with every caress.

"Then, to complete the bond, I will bite you right here," he said, licking the muscle at the base of her neck. “If that is okay with you. Then,” he growled, “you will take my knot."

She could feel a release building from his fingers and his words as her breath turned into little pants. Then, his fingers were gone, and his massive cock was notched into her slick slit as a greedy moan slipped out of her mouth.

He closed his mouth over hers as he slowly pushed into her. The stretch was delicious. From their time together last night to what they had just done in the baths, she felt ready for him. It was an intense stretch, but it felt incredible. She welcomed him as he pushed further.

"My mate, you feel better than I can say," he growled out.

Her hands tried to cling to him, but he was so massive, her fingers tried and failed to find purchase on his back. "Khuldruk," she moaned as she tried to move with him, but he was already overwhelming all her senses. Nothing in the world existed other than them in this room.

A growl erupted from him at the sound of his name in her moan, and he began to pound into her. He raised himself over her, pulling her knees wide and watching himself moving in and out of her. Then, he pulled out, and she almost cried in his absence. Before she knew what was happening, he flipped her over and had her on her knees before him. His fingers ran through the wetness now dripping from her slit, and as she looked over her shoulder, he put his fingers in his mouth and groaned.

"I am lucky to have such a tasty mate," he said.

She almost laughed, but then he slammed back inside of her. A loud scream left her, and Khuldruk stilled just long enough to make sure it was a scream of pleasure. Then, he began to pound into her over and over, his hand tight on her hips as he took her again and again.

She lost herself in the fullness. The whole world fell away, and her body was vibrating with need. She needed to come, but she felt like she was falling, like she would never stop falling, and it was just going to be them and this undying pleasure and pain and everything. The whole world existed in this moment in this room.

He pulled her up, holding a breast in his hand, still pounding away inside of her. He nuzzled her and breathed her in. The gentleness of his nuzzle against his punishing thrusts broke her, and she began to shake and pulse.

Her orgasm took over, and another loud scream ripped from her lungs as his teeth bit into the flesh of her shoulder and he slammed into her one last time. His knot stretched her, and she was lost in a sea of sensations—the pleasure of orgasm, the pain of the bite, the fullness of his cock, all overwhelming her senses.

He gave a deafening growl as he began to release into her, pulse after pulse, filling her with his seed like nothing she had ever experienced. She was drunk with pleasure.

Somehow, he managed it so they both collapsed on their side. He panted behind her.

"I love you," she panted out.

"I love you too, my little mate."

After a long moment, their breathing slowed, and his gentle caresses returned. She loved his roughness, but she liked this too. This was how she knew him. His tongue began to lap at the bite, and she winced a bit.

"I'm sorry, my pet," he said between laps of his tongue. "This will help the healing, although you’ll always bear my mark." With that, his cock gave another twitch deep inside her. She tried to move in surprise, only to have the sense of fullness keep her rooted in place. The knot.

"So," she said, looking up at him as best she could. "How long are we stuck like this?"

"I'm not entirely certain. This is my first time knotting anyone, but I do not believe it will be terribly long. But I enjoy being this close to you." He maneuvered them on the bed so he held her back to his chest. The feel of him just holding her like this was almost as good as what they had just done.

"I know I said I love you in the heat of the moment, but I need you to know it's true. It's the truest thing I have ever said," she said.

"And I, you. You are my heart and soul. Nothing exists for me now outside of you."

Her mouth cracked in a yawn, the exhaustion of the journey and what they had just done catching up with her. "I'm so glad you came to find me," she said with a sigh.

"As am I, my mate," he said with the same exhaustion thick in his voice.

The love she felt was the last thing she was aware of as she drifted off to sleep, her orc and his seed still inside of her.
