“You can’t do that to me,” I groaned, smelling the slick of her pussy. “I can’t take you…”
“Oh, you can,” she pleaded. Her breasts pushed against the fluff of her coat.
I swore I could feel her nipples pebbling despite the barrier.
“I just need you. To be close to me.”
I should have questioned, should have asked twice, but I didn’t. I pulled off her skintight leggings, her pussy already dripping. No underwear.
My breath hitched. Leif was fully satisfied that my mate wouldn’t go without.
“I’m always ready for you,” she gasped, feeling the snow beneath her ass.
I couldn’t very well have my mate freeze. “Wrap your legs around me,” I ordered.
It was difficult to do, but she obeyed, wrapping her arms around me until I pinned her up against the tree, the coat giving her enough padding to not tear into her beautiful skin.
I took my time, taking each boot off with a pull of a string, and balancing her ass on one hand as I pulled the rest of her bottoms away. Her pussy was a bouquet of delicate aromas that could bring any alpha to his knees, but here she was, waiting for my cock, my knot.
I unbuckled my belt. The ting of the metal made Journey catch her breath. Chills erupted on her skin, and Leif immediately growled in want. Her pussy was wet, dripping down her thigh. I let out a heavy, shaky sigh when she connected her slit to my cock.
Her caramel eyes locked with mine, her breath flowing from her lips while I kissed her gently, probing her entrance with the head of my shaft. The cold made the barbells of my piercings cold, and when my cock slipped deeper into her pussy, they warmed and made my mate sigh in delight.
I eased into her pussy gently, both of us letting out contented moans. My hips pumped into her, touching her hip bones as she rode along with me.
“Grim,” she said my name like a prayer.
My teeth, still elongated after my shift, scraped against her shoulder. I wanted to mark her all over again, under the moonlight, while the goddess looked down with pride.
Her work hadn’t gone unnoticed. I was slowly believing again—trusting my mate that she would survive. If she didn’t, I would fight the Goddess myself and then find Hades to rescue her from the Underworld. I’d fight all his armies to get to her and bring her back to me where she belonged.
My cock became greedy, my barbells rubbing her in the right places. She cried out in ecstasy and scratched my back. Claws sank into my jacket, the ripping echoing into the darkened forest. My mate clawed until she reached the skin, and she didn’t stop there. Her claws sank deeper. The blood trickling down my back gave my passion a charge of excitement.
“Grim, more!” she commanded. “Fuck me harder!”
I rutted her against the tree and felt her pussy clamp against the shaft of my cock until she let out the most glorious scream.
Birds flew from the trees, my mouth finally covering hers to muffle her cries. I pumped my cock into her as it expanded until my knot was full and ready to lock her. To keep her full of my seed, to one day take root in her womb, to bring us the pups we both wanted.
I cried out my mate’s name, her arms going slack while my knot stayed firmly implanted in her pussy. We both panted heavily, and her fingers tightened around my neck, her half-lidded eyes thanking me, and her sweet, pouty lips connecting to my chapped ones.
“I think I found our tree.” She bit her lip.
My forehead rested on hers. “You did?” I asked, not caring.
She nodded and pointed straight behind us. It wasn’t as large as the tree for the bar. The tree’s height matched mine and would fit perfectly in our den.
“It’s perfect,” I said.
“Yeah, a new tradition for us. We do it against one tree and then the next tree over is the one we put in our den.” Her excitement permeated our bond, and I nuzzled into her neck.
This was a better life than my parents ever had, and I only wished that they could see I was happy and thriving.
We took the larger tree to the bar. Locke, Sizzle, and Karma were completely wasted as they took it in. The humans they invited were also there, bringing decorations from their apartments. Locke even sang for more Christmas cheer.
Journey and I laughed, watching the crew, but I knew I needed to get my mate home because we had our own tree to set up. Not to mention my come still dripped from her sweet cunt. The cold air outside would surely make her freeze, but she didn’t complain.
A primal part of me wanted to parade her around the bar and show everyone that she was mine. But they already knew that and showing her off further would only upset my brothers.
