You're Lion Read online

  3) Everyone, especially the lion males, all stood around and let it happen.

  She’d have to talk to Alex about that later, but first…

  Arms crossed over her chest, Ms. Preggers stepped into the room and cleared her throat. Loudly. As everyone’s attention shifted to her, Maya called out, “Alex, darling?” Her mate stared at her with wide eyes and what she registered as a hint of concern. Yeah, he’d heard the tone in her voice often enough to know she was in one of her moods. The calmer and sweeter she was, typically meant that shit—and lots of it—

  and the fan were about to bump uglies. “Do step back, my love. I’d hate to get our guest’s blood all over your shirt.”

  With the statement directed at the tiger delegate, the woman focused her attention on Maya, head cocked to the side as if she were looking at someone—or something—insignificant. Like Maya was a harmless, tiny bug.

  Hormones still raging, she didn’t hesitate to wipe that stupid look off of the whore’s face. Maya had already made up her mind that the slut fully deserved what was coming to her. So, without a hesitant bone in her body, she launched herself across the living room—Council be damned.

  Like the girl she was, Maya went straight for the woman’s long, blonde locks.

  She fisted the tigress’ hair with both hands and yanked her away from Alex, then threw her to the ground before straddling the thin woman, her arms pinned in place by Maya’s knees. The tigress couldn’t weigh more than 110 pounds, and unlucky for her, the lioness was much heavier than the toothpick-sized bitch. By like…a lot of a lot.

  One hand still firmly wrapped in the chick’s hair, she made sure the tigress could see the slow but deliberate shift of her hand. While hunting or when she was surrounded by blood from a kill, Maya typically didn’t have a shred of control over her she-cat.

  At this very moment though, the lioness within was all about cooperation.

  Each finger changed, first one, and then another, in sequence from thumb to pinky, until razor-sharp nails tipped her fingers, primed and ready to slice through the tigress’ delicate-looking skin.

  “Madison?” Maya called to her friend.

  From the corner of her eye, she watched the timid lioness inch forward, the other lions of her pride giving way, allowing her friend to pass.

  “She pushed me aside when I answered the door and scratched my arm. Her claws were out,” Maddy replied. Maya listened as her friend spoke, but she didn’t dare let her attention divert from the tigress.

  “Hmm…” Maya brought her index finger to the neckline of the woman’s dress, and slipped it beneath the seam at the shoulder. Her knife-like nail sliced through the fabric like butter, until the pale skin of the tigress’ arm was fully revealed.

  “Now, I’m thinking that ‘Lions Rule, Tigers Drool’ carved right here would be just perfect. How ‘bout you?” Maya kidded. Rather caustically, but still, all she wanted to do was teach the skinny bitch a lesson.

  After a sincere apology offered to her friend Madison, Maya let the woman up when she was certain that the tigress fully understood that she and her lions weren’t to be fucked with. Not needing the aid of Carly or Neal, Maya was rather proud of herself.

  Not in an arrogant way, no. But, being that she was a newly turned prima, it was comforting for her to know that she could protect her own.

  * * *

  Thank god the Council had quietly retreated the moment Maya had finished dealing with the shameless tigress.

  Unfortunately, it had come at the cost of hearing an earful from her mate.

  Alex could be such a meanie.

  She loved him, but still a meanie. Oddly enough, she thought that of him whenever she didn’t get her way. Hmm…odd indeed.

  To make up for her outburst, Alex had asked Maya to graciously invite the Council to dinner tomorrow night. Stupid meanie-poopie-head.

  After the rest of her “guests” left, she relieved her quintet of their duties for the night, but not before she asked Neal to drive her BFF home. She actually felt kinda guilty for dragging the rabbit shifter to her place full of lions, and made a mental note to do something special for her friend at a later time.

  She waited until the remaining lions retreated into the outer parts of her home to address her mate with the bombshell news she wanted to get off of her chest.

  She certainly didn’t need an audience for her personal announcement.

  Maya led her man up the stairs and straight to their bedroom. She could sense the need in him, the unspoken desire beating just beneath his skin. The adrenaline from her encounter still raced through her blood, and she imagined that Alex was feeling something similar.

  Fighting, to whatever degree, got her alpha male hot, no two ways about it.

  Maya scented his arousal, the gentle musk that emanated from his pores, wrapping around her like a warm blanket of heated desire. Her lioness purred in response, suddenly more interested in licking him from head-to-toe than ripping him apart for the whole surprise pregnancy thing.

  Just barely over the threshold of their room, she was startled by the loud thud of the door being slammed shut, the wood creaking something awful under the force of her mate’s beastly strength. Another step forward and his claws sliced through the straps of her dress, the fabric sliding from her body with ease and pooling at her feet, leaving her clad in only her bra and panties.

  Excitement pulsed and pounded through her veins, and she and her lioness were both more than ready for whatever their mate desired.

  Between one blink of her eyes and the next, Alex’s body covered her from shoulder-to-ankle, his solid weight holding the front part of her body flush against one of their bedroom walls, his large hands already sweeping over the backside of her half-naked body.

  “Maya…” he began, his hot breath fanning her bared neck. The scent of wood, rain, and desire surrounded her, warming her skin and heightening her senses. He settled his teeth on her shoulder, sharp edges raking over the vulnerable flesh, but not yet sinking through the delicate surface. She couldn’t suppress the shiver of arousal that shot through her, or the flood of need that engulfed her, daring her to succumb to her man so he could ravish her. She was quickly losing the strength in her legs, and without the support of her mate’s body securing her in place, she was sure she would tumble to the ground.

  His bite was her kryptonite. She whimpered and twitched when he sank his teeth into the bared flesh where her shoulder met her neck, and the she-cat was desperate to be possessed, to be forcefully taken by her mate.

  Alex clamped down, just a fraction, and then released his hold, laving the abused area to ease the sting, just as he always did. “My fierce, sweet mate.” She strained to get closer to him, frantic for his touch, but he didn’t relent, and pinning her body with his, he didn’t grant her an inch of wiggle room.

  Maya’s breasts were captured by the unmoving wall, her covered nipples hardening as it brushed against the firm surface of the wall. The teased and tormented sensitive bud ached for the pleasurable touch of his warm mouth and skillful hands, the combination of the delicate lace of her bra and the massaging pressure driving her utterly insane.

  Alex growled, the erotic, animalistic sound coming from deep within his chest, radiating through her entire being. “Be still, my love.” Her pussy throbbed at the order, growing heavy with desire, longing to be filled by Alex’s enormous cock. She wanted to be possessed by him, to have him dominate her in every way possible. By beast, by man, she could hardly wait.

  A single tooth, likely one of his canines, scraped along her jaw and traveled down the side of her neck, settling where he had bitten her earlier. He was marking her—scenting and announcing his ownership of her body.

  Her lioness craved his display of dominance and possessiveness, and Maya had to admit, she was all for it as well. Sex was so amazingly hot whenever he got all growly and aggressive.

  Cool air wafted over the juncture of her thig
hs, chilling her moist, panty-clad flesh, causing countless goose bumps to form across her skin. Eager to be filled by her man, she tilted her hips and pushed her ass back against his crotch, whining her near-silent plea when she felt his hardness press between her cheeks.

  Her silk panties and his slacks separated them, but still, she could easily feel the heat of his erection through the layers of fabric. She had no doubt that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him.

  “Alex…my mate…”

  With a deep moan, he moved his arms and grabbed ahold of hers, shoving her hands above her head and securing her wrists with one of his brawny hands. His other one disappeared from her line of sight and she felt a hard tug of her panties against her hips. The ripping of cloth was quickly followed by the tinkling of his belt buckle and the sound of his zipper opening. Her panties slid along her skin and fell to the ground, leaving her naked from the waist down.

  She pushed her ass out in search of his cock, and let out a moan of pure delight when she found it, the scalding thickness of his raging hard-on pressing along the crack of her ass sending a flare of indescribable pleasure through her pussy. He flexed his hips, sliding his engorged shaft between her butt cheeks, slipping along the crevasse, teasing them both with measured movements. Slow and steady, up and down…

  Each thrust and retreat was punctuated with a deep growl, the animalistic sound emanating from his very soul, enveloping her in his carnal desire.

  His free hand settled on her hip, sharp claws digging into her flesh and breaking skin, the scent of fresh blood hitting the room, making her even hotter, needier.

  “Yesss…” she hissed, the sting of pleasure-pain beckoning her she-cat closer to the surface. The feline purred, yearning to be mounted by her mate.

  His deadly claws traveled upward from her hip, along her ribcage, and settled on her lace-covered breast, kneading her abundant flesh and plucking at her hardened nub through the barely-there fabric. Two fingers pinched the awakened flesh, teased and tormented her, tugging at it in time with each flex of his hips.

  He scratched her vulnerable neck with his teeth, massaging her breasts while he rubbed his blood-filled cock between the crack of her ass. Her nerves alighted, her heightened senses worked to arouse her even further.

  Maya’s pussy was moist, and growing wetter by the passing second, clenching on air, silently begging to be stuffed by her mate. “Please, Alex…” Another rending of cloth and her breasts came free of their confines, his heated palm quickly returning to caress her plump flesh.

  “Tell me what you need, mate.” His hand abandoned her breasts and she whimpered at the loss, but she purred when his palm traveled over her goose bump-riddled skin, sliding along the center of her chest and down her rounded stomach, settling just above the neediest part of her body.

  His claws retracted, Alex traced tiny circles above her pussy with his fingers, then dipped a single digit down to tease the very top of her moistened slit. Gently sliding his finger over the delicate area, he then slipped it between her lower lips, toying with her heat like only he knew how. Up and down, in and out, over and again he pleasured her. Maya’s breathing came in rapid pants while he kept his finger fucking tempo slow, flirting with her nerves as she patiently waited for what she desired most.

  “Do you crave my touch? Do you need me…here?” He sank his finger a little deeper still, brushing against her G-spot for the briefest of moments before withdrawing to tease her swelling clit.

  “Alex, please!” she sobbed, rocking her luscious ass hard against his crotch.

  “Please what, Maya, my prima?” He slipped his thick digit between her pussy lips again, pad of his calloused finger skimming the concentration of nerves with a gentle touch, and then he was back to tormenting the top of her slit once again.

  She whimpered—the lioness within just as desperate for him as her human side.

  “You, Alex. I need you.”

  Growling, more beast than man, Alex released her hands long enough to spin her around, before pinning her once again with his hard body. Now face-to-face with her mate, she sensed his lion pacing just beneath his skin. Alex’s eyes had turned a deep gold, showing her that he was cautiously walking the thin line between cat and man.

  His warm, hard cock jutted from the juncture of his thighs, and trapped between their bodies, it pulsed against her stomach, wetting her skin with his pre-cum. She wanted him, longed to have him deep inside her and reaffirm their special bond, to erase the stench of that tigress whore completely off of her man.

  Maya lifted her leg and placed it on Alex’s hip, pulling him close. She couldn’t dominate him in her position, but she could certainly demand.

  “Maya…”

  “Mine!” She bit off the possessive word, then leaned forward and captured him in a passionate kiss, nipping and biting his lower lip, drawing some of his addictive blood into her mouth. The sweet flavor of him burst over her taste buds, causing her to moan like the needy lioness she was. Alex didn’t let her have her way for very long. No, he took control of their kiss and returned her passion in spades.

  A flicker of pain emanated from her wrists, the prick of her skin by his reemerged claws bringing more of her bloody scent into their room. Another growl, deeper than before, traveled from her mate and through her, the vibrations only adding to her level of excitement.

  Continuing to kiss, Maya was lost in his embrace, fully engulfed in his passion, his tongue taunting her as it mimicked what he had in store for her needy pussy. He sucked and probed, savagely dominating her with an unbridled ease.

  While he conquered her mouth, he cupped her breasts in his large, rough palms, and kneaded her plump flesh. Her nipples further hardened by his touch, she ached for more, and to her delight, Alex didn’t disappoint. He captured one sensitive bud between his fingers, pinched and plucked the sensitive nub until she was burning with lust from the inside out.

  She rocked her hips against him and spread her legs, her wet pussy opening slightly along the underside of his hardened shaft, the skin-on-skin contact driving her mad. But it wasn’t enough…not nearly enough…

  Unable to take the teasing anymore, she suddenly ripped her mouth from Alex’s, leaving them both panting, and right away, she regretted her decision. Still fighting to calm the sting of her laboring lungs, Maya’s fingers started to tingle, the skin stretching taut as her claws extended to match her mate’s. The bones of her face shifted beneath the skin, and a throbbing pain pounded from within. Without looking, she knew her lioness was flexing its muscles, anxious to get out and demand that her mate ease her growing need.

  He’d gotten her all worked up, and it was his job to satisfy her, damn it.

  “Mine.” The desperate-sounding word garbled, his fangs descended on her, gleaming in the room’s dim light.

  Her breath caught in her throat as he sank his teeth into her skin once again.

  “Yours,” she ground out.

  He moved his palm away from her breast, and also robbed her of the delicious torment of his dick teasing her lower lips. She whimpered and groaned at the loss, tried desperately to follow his hardness and regain their intimate contact, but her mate didn’t relent.

  And then, all thoughts deserted her when Alex repositioned his cock, placing the broad head of his dick at her opening, easing it the tiniest bit into her waiting heat.

  “Fuck!” Maya cried out.

  She met his gaze, watched the emotion and the passion displayed on his face as he slid inside her sopping entrance, inch-by-tantalizing-inch. Like every time before, he stretched her, pussy widening to accommodate his enormous size, her body shuddering as he worked to fill her to the hilt. While they were frantic before, he now seemed to be taking his sweet ass time.

  Maya growled, bared her teeth and snarled at the smirk on his face.

  “When I say, my sweet, impatient mate.”

  He could be an asshole sometimes. Her asshole, but still…
<
br />   Lucky for him, she was kinda into it…for now.

  His slow, deliberate penetration continued, until all nine inches of his magnificent cock filled her completely.

  Panting, Maya ached with the need to move, to ride her mate until they both came. The pace he set was too slow for her liking but she endured, delighting in the way Alex stuffed her pussy, touching every delicate nerve and bringing them to life.

  Bursts of ecstasy flowed through her veins, pleasuring every square inch of her curvaceous frame.

  Alex withdrew and then thrust forward once again, and she was thankful for the wall at her back. When she gripped his hip tighter with her leg, Alex brought his arm below her knee and placed his palm against the wall, holding it in place as if to ease her burden.

  Her mate slid from her heat and then slammed into her, yanking out a gasp from within her chest, the blissful feel of his thick cock eliciting purr after purr from the lioness. Her she-cat approved, loved how good her mate was making her feel all over.

  He withdrew and pumped his powerful hips into her once again, the abrupt movement jarring both of their bodies, her big breasts bouncing wildly from the force.

  “Yesss…” she hissed.

  He did it again and again, increasing the power and pace of his delightful invasion, spurring her building orgasm on.

  “God, you feel good, Alex…”

  Slam, slam, slam. He continued his heavenly assaults, harder and harder, causing her foot to leave the ground for the briefest of moments.

  Alex released her hands and grabbed her other leg, shifting his body to place both of them around his hips, then held her steady before turning his attention back to plowing in and out of her creaming pussy.

  Harder and harder and faster and faster he pumped his hips, dragging moan after moan from deep within her, making her feel good from head-to-toe. Her lioness purred as Maya cried out in ecstasy, wondering how long she could go before she would shatter into a million pieces.
