“Because you told me to?” Now I am as confused as her. “You said you were not ready to take me back as your mate. Not until I had my memories back.” I give a small shake of my head. “Stay-see, I would never push you into something you did not want. I can wait.”
She presses her hand to her mouth. “Oh my god.”
“What is it?”
“Nothing. I’m so stupid.”
“You are not stupid. You are wonderful—”
She flings herself into my arms and clings to my neck. Her mouth seeks mine, and I toss aside the nest with the frozen eggs in it to grab my mate’s rounded bottom. I haul her against me and hold her close as we kiss, our tongues melding together.
“Does this mean you will take me as your mate again?” I ask between fierce, nipping kisses.
She nods quickly and kisses me again, then bites at my lower lip in a way that makes my cock ache. “Thought you didn’t want me. That was why you left.”
I groan. “If I did not want you, why would it make me so crazy every time Harrec pays attention to you?” I tear at her tunic, at the knot under her breasts that holds it wrapped shut.
To my surprise, she laughs. “He said he was trying to make you jealous. I couldn’t figure out why. I guess he wants us back together, too.” She leans in and runs the tip of her tongue along my lower lip. “That’s kind of sweet.”
“As long as that is all he wants,” I growl, feeling possessive. This is my female. My mate. And I’ve waited long enough to claim her again. I kiss her deeply even as I pull her tunic open.
She gasps against me, peeking around. “The others—someone will see us.”
“You went the wrong way to get back to the vee-lage,” I tell her, pressing my mouth to her neck. She is so soft here, so sweet. “Make enough noise and they will know to stay away.”
Her shocked giggle tells me that she is not displeased with the thought. I slide my hand between the layers of clothing and find her breast, plump and delicious. She moans at my touch, and her kisses take on a more fevered edge.
I am going to make her mine, right here, right on the canyon floor.
I like the idea so much that I immediately drop to my knees. Stay-see squeaks in surprise but does not protest when I pull her down with me. I continue kissing her bared skin, feverishly undoing the ties on her leggings, and then mine.
“Right here?” she asks softly.
“Right here,” I agree. “I have waited endless days for you. I am hungry to be inside you. For us to become one again.”
Her hand strokes my face. “Me, too.”
My mouth is on hers in the next moment, my tongue slicking against her smooth, soft one. Everything about my mate is soft and gentle and it fills me with a fierce protectiveness as well as hunger.
In the next moment, her leggings are down, and her freed leg hooks around my hip. I sink into her warmth, marveling at how perfect, how incredible she feels.
Stay-see gasps, her eyes going wide. She feels tight around my cock, her cunt slick with heat and ready for me. “My mate,” I growl fiercely. “My Stay-see.”
“Yours.” She trembles under me, tearing at my clothing as if desperate to touch my skin. “All yours!”
I thrust into her again, my cock buried deep inside her, my spur sliding along her folds. She cries out as I do, and I lean down to give her another claiming kiss. “I am going to take you hard, my mate,” I tell her. “Hard and fast.”
She nods, eager.
I stroke into her once more and begin to pump with quick, decisive movements. It is as if her permission has freed me, it has also stolen my control. Over and over, I pound into her, Stay-see’s little cries fueling me. I claim her with swift ferocity, and when her cunt begins to clench hard around my cock, I feel a near brutal satisfaction as she cries out her pleasure.
Mine comes but moments later.
Afterward, she caresses my face with her small hands and cold fingers, as if marveling at what we have just done. A happy smile plays on her mouth, and I press a kiss to her bountiful breasts, feeling lazy and content. Her hands move to my mane and she plays with my hair, then touches my broken horn. “You’re sure the fall earlier did not hurt you?”
“Not at all. I am sorry it frightened you, though.”
“I just thought…I thought it was happening all over again.” She shudders underneath me. “That I was going to lose you once more.”
“Never. You will never be rid of me.” I wrap my arms tightly around her torso. “Every day I will bury myself so deeply inside you that your khui will send its regards.”
