Her Panthera Protectors

by Laura Wylde

  It started to get quiet on the other side, and that piqued my interest. I wanted to know what was happening, but more than that, I was desperate to find out who had been silenced. The idea of something happening to any four of them made my heart hurt. I had gotten so close to all of them in such a short amount of time that the very idea that they were hurt on the other side of the door made me even more frantic to get it open. I broke down a couple of times, telling them to open up, not even caring if the women had won. If they had won, and my pack was dead, it didn't really matter anyways. I would be that way very soon. I had to know something, even if that meant bringing it down on my head. I had to know.

  “Now out of the way, Kayla, I'm going to have to kick the door in.”

  It was Javier's voice, and everything inside of me just melted. The relief was instant, and I knew that it was going to be okay. My pack was going to be fine, I just knew it.

  When the door finally opened, it was Javier and Tyler who I saw first. Damien and Eben were right behind them, and they all looked a little beat up. If it had been a different kind of moment I am sure that I would have come up with something to say. Something about them getting beat up by girls.

  But it was too soon for that, and the mood was not a funny one.

  Chapter 20

  Kayla

  The aftermath of the battle was horrible. Several people had died, including all of the female shifters. I know that Javier didn't want that to happen. He had wanted everyone to make it through. The fact that no one was left out of the females bothered him. I could see it on his face. I was happier to see that all four of my pack was still alive. There were a few minor injuries, but they had not been hurt. A couple of the other male shifters had been, and I knew that I was lucky that it wasn't one of my boys. How quickly I thought of them that way.

  We all went back to Javier’s room, but it was different for me than last time I was here. Last time, I had been by myself, but this time I was with the pack, and I felt better than I had in a while. I was still shaking from the fight, but I didn’t have to worry about that now. We were all safe.

  I checked on Damien and Eben to make sure that they were okay. They both had cuts that needed to be stitched up. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I tried to make it as quick as possible. I was assured more than once that they would heal either way. They told me how the temple had healing powers and it made sense. I had a feeling that their long lives had a lot to do with the temple. It was a major reason they were still here, even if they didn't know it.

  After everyone was settled in, there were talks about going back to the bath. Everyone was dirty, including myself from being dragged around, and it seems like the perfect place. I wanted to get back to where I thought it was going to go before.

  The water was just as warm as when we left, and I asked them how that was. They told me that it was heated up in the temple when the sun hit certain spots up top. It then transferred into the baths; apparently, there were several of them.

  It was one of a million things I wanted to know about this place, and I knew that I was going to spend the rest of my lifetime figuring it out. It was a big decision, but it was one that I would make over and over again. Because I knew it was the right one.

  I didn't bother with my bra and panties this time around. I just took them all off, knowing that they would be taken off for me if I didn't. I had no false ideas about what was going to happen next. I knew exactly what was going to happen next, and I wanted it to happen. I wanted nothing more than to feel them touch and taste me, making me theirs.

  Eben was the first one to get in the water with me. He was always quick to make things work the way he wanted it. By the hungry look in his eyes, it wasn't hard to imagine what it was that he wanted. It was the same thing that I wanted, and I liked the idea of starting up with him again.

  I was at the back of the pool, and my back was against the marble. Eben was moving towards me, and I took in his hard body. It was covered in piercings and tattoos. It wasn’t something that I’d liked before, but with Eben, it just matched his rebellious personality, and when he got closer, my heart started to pump harder. I knew the things he was capable of.

  All of their bodies were sculpted perfectly, while Eben was more interesting because of all of the tattoos. I was partial to him, and I knew a lot of it had to do with the fact that he had been my first. Not my first man, but my first shifter. Damien was second to that list, and I was ready to feel Tyler and Javier as well. I had a feeling that it was just going to feel the same as it had with Eben: perfect.

  My excitement took over and my brain shut down very quickly after that. I wasn't thinking about anything else but the hard body pushed against me. I was sure that he was going to give me everything that I needed and more. Eben was taking over with his eager kiss. It drove me crazy how much he wanted me, especially when I wanted him just as much.

  The other three men disappeared from my view, and it was now all about Eben. He touched me in all the right ways, and the more I tried to deny how this felt, the less I could. I wrapped my arms around his neck when he told me to and then it wasn’t long before he was wrapping my legs around his waist.

  “All you have to do is hold on, Kayla. I will take care of the rest.”

  I did as he said, knowing that I wasn’t going to be able to handle myself if I didn’t. It was hard to walk and sit up right when Eben was close and when he was inside of me, I knew that there was no way that I was going to be able to stay upright. It was hard for me to really think about anything else and when I felt his hard cock prodding at my opening, I invited it more than anything else. I needed to feel him, badly, and once he was deep inside of me, I finally started to feel like I was going somewhere. I didn’t care where I was going, only that I was going to be able to hold on tight while I did.

  Eben was not like Damien. He didn’t know how to take his time, and he wasn’t bothered to do so. He slammed into me repeatedly without letting up for a minute. I wasn’t able to breathe, not really, because he wouldn’t let me. It was a flurry of movement, and I was gasping for breath and then coming so hard that I saw stars behind my closed lids.

  I felt hands go to my back, and I instinctively knew that it wasn’t Eben who was touching me now. He stopped pulling out and stayed in for a moment. I could feel his long meat throbbing inside of me, and before long, I knew that I was lost. Everything that I’d hoped to happen was dead to me now. I was going to have to open my mind up a little wider because it appeared that I had a lot of things that I was still going to have to do.

  It was Tyler who was touching me from behind. My head fell back onto his shoulder, and I felt him start to slide into me. Like before with Eben and Damien, it was immediately too much. I called out to Tyler, but he wasn’t listening. He was sawing in and out quickly, much like Eben was doing. There was no, taking their time, or anything like that. All I could feel was intense need that was taking over every instant of my thinking.

  “Please, Tyler, slow down. I am going to come again!”

  He wasn’t hearing me and kept pushing deeper and deeper. Eben had slowed down and started to fill me with his seed. The water sloshed around as Tyler didn’t slow down. Eben pushed me off and slid out from around me. I was left to brace myself against the marble wall as Tyler fucked me hard and fast from behind. The water didn’t slow him down, just helped us both to feel the amazing difference between hot cock and cool water.

  Tyler grabbed a handful of hair and pulled it back. His teeth nibbled on my shoulders, and I was calling out as I came again. My whole body was shaking violently, but I couldn’t stop it. I knew that I was going to have to get myself together, but at the moment, I didn’t know if I could. Or if I wanted to.

  I had never felt such pleasure in all of my life, but in the back of my head, I knew that this was still only half. I had two more men to pleasure, and I knew that I was going to be finding it hard to do anything after coming so much. I looked behind me and saw that Tyle
r was still rocking into me quickly. It was clear that he wasn’t going to stop anytime soon. Maybe I had bit off more than I could really chew. Four virile men that were all going to pump me full of their seed was a lot to take on. Especially every single night, but so help me, I wanted to try so badly.

  Chapter 21

  Javier

  I had never seen such a good view before. At one point, I was watching Tyler fuck Kayla from behind, but he had finally lost himself and filled her up. Eben was first in line, but he was ready for another round. Damien was quick to tell him that he was going to have to wait. Damien had been watching and waiting, much like I was doing. Kayla had to be held up because she couldn't do so for herself anymore. Damien turned her around and pulled her into his arms for a kiss. It was a very sweet moment, but the sweetness didn't last very long. She started moving and begging, wanting more as she wrapped herself around Damien.

  Damien didn't stand a chance against the human woman. She was quickly becoming as needy as we were, and she was even quicker to get the pleasure that she sought. I was worried when she got finished with Tyler because she looked like she was done for good. But she seemed to be getting a second wind, and my dick was rock hard as I watched her.

  I knew that I wanted to be inside of her right now, but I was going to wait for my turn. I didn’t want to be rushed, and I knew that no one was going to step forward with her when I got my hands on her.

  Damien was like me, he had been watching what was going on. I could tell that he was really turned on, so he wasn't able to last as long.

  He jackhammered inside of her for several moments, but it wasn't long before he was losing himself. Eben moved towards her, and I made a growling sound to warn him off. No seconds for now.

  Damien pulled out of her, and she was left alone to get herself together. Her eyes were shut tight, and it took several months before I saw her green eyes open. They finally met mine.

  “I guess you are the last one.”

  “For now.”

  I saw her shiver, and I smiled at her reaction. She wasn't ready for more, but I was going to have to insist. There was nothing that I wanted more than to feel the insides of her, and I wanted her to come to me. I wanted her to come to me because she wanted to come, not because she felt obligated to.

  Motioning for her with my finger, I saw her internal struggle. I could almost guarantee that she was sore, having reached her limit. I knew that it wasn't the truth, but that is what she had to think. I was more than positive that there was so much more to give her.

  Kayla finally got up, and she started to move towards me, her eyes traveling down my body. How long had I been waiting for this? It felt like I had been waiting for this very moment for too long to really consider. Ever since I had smelled her for the first time ever, I knew that she was going to be someone I wanted. I just never imagined that it was going to be like this.

  When she came to stop in front of me, I said a little prayer to the gods, hoping that it would be the answer we were looking for. I needed her pregnant with one of our shifter children so that we would be able to keep going as a race. The last thing I wanted to do was let it all fall apart on my watch.

  And now, there was nothing else to think about. Kayla was fidgeting nervously in front of me. She had the sweetest look on her face. She was so damn anxious, and I wanted to make sure that everything went as planned. I knew for a fact that I was doing my best to keep it together, but I think I was losing it. My hands were shaking, and I wasn't even the one who made the next move. It was Kayla who did so.

  “Did I save the best for last?”

  I didn't have time to answer, not that I would have been able to find my voice anyway. It was more than I could have imagined, her naked body, crawling on top of mine and the feel of her hand when she grabbed my shaft and started to push me up against her need. It was clear to see where she wanted me, and before I knew what was happening, her hotness was sliding down around me, cutting off all air to my dick. She was suffocating me, and it really felt like I couldn’t breathe. It was like she hadn’t just been slam-fucked by the other three men in our pack first. She felt like she hadn’t been touched in years, and I was amazed by how good she felt.

  “Fuck, you feel good, Kayla.”

  She whimpered as she pushed herself down as far as I could go. I was bigger than everyone else in the pack, in all ways, and Kayla was struggling to take all of me inside of her. I told her that she didn’t have to, but she was determined, and I was getting a hellacious ride from her trying. Kayla was grinding herself down on top of me, and I wasn’t able to keep it together anymore. It all just felt too damn good, and I never wanted it to end.

  Finally, she pushed down on me as deep as she could go and made the most delicious whining sound. I decided that I was going to give her what she wanted, even if it was a bit harder than that. She didn’t know what she was asking for.

  “Is it too much?”

  I had thrust up deep and finished her off. She had cried out in pleasure and something else. I wanted to make sure that she was okay before I went any further. I waited for her eyes to open and for her to look at me. I could see that the need that had been between us was intensified, and she finally agreed that she was fine with a nod of her head.

  That’s all I had to see to know that it was time to move on. I started moving slowly at first. I couldn’t help it, but I was soon slamming up inside of her just as hard as the other three had. Something came over me. She just felt too damn good and there was nothing I could do to stop this. I was lost in the moment. Kayla felt too damn good and I was never going to get over how good it felt. Had it really been that long?

  I knew that Kayla had had enough. Her body was limp in my arms, but I wanted more. I knew that I just had to hear her come one more time, and I would be able to finally release my load. It was waiting for her, sure that she was going to usher in a new time for Panthera. She was going to help us grow. I just knew that she was. I was positive of it.

  She whimpered and tightened up around me before her breath and muscles let go and relaxed for a moment. The quivering around my cock was insatiable, and I finally had to push deep and come myself. I wanted to make it last, but there was no way that it was going to happen this time. She just felt too tight and wet.

  Kayla fell into my arms, her head on my shoulder as her breath slowed down. I could feel the woman’s heart beating against my chest, and her wetness flowed around my still-hard cock. I started to move her on top of me, and she hissed as I moved her.

  “Stop. You’re going to kill me, Javier. I need time to get myself together. I’ve had enough for the night.”

  I wanted to argue with her, sure that she would take more if made to, but I knew that I didn’t want to give her reason to tell me no in the future. I was going to have to keep myself in check.

  Instead, I pulled her out of the water and wrapped her up in a towel. We all went to bed together, and I was already thinking about what would happen in the morning. Would she be ready then? Was she already pregnant? I liked to believe that she was. Either way, Kayla was the future of Panthera.

  “Listen, everyone. It is time to make plans. Panthera has to change or it is going to die. It’s just that simple. We’ve found a way to get ourselves growing again. Our numbers are down to seventeen, and we have no females left.”

  “Because you brought that human.”

  “I did, and now, three months after pulling her into our pack, she is pregnant. We are hoping for multiple births like there used to be, but we won’t know for certain for a few more weeks. This is good news, and now that we know it can work with a human, each pack lead is to do the same. The choosing has to be right, but soon all of the packs will have a woman and we will start producing again. This is our way to become large again, push back all obstacles that stand in our way. This is the future of Panthera.”

  I heard tons of cheers, and then everyone was letting it sink in. We’d been waiting for a newborn for hundred
s of years. All of that time without a baby in our midst was hard. Kayla had brought many changes, some not so good and some that had cost us the rest of our females, but she was bringing back hope, something that we hadn’t had in a long time. Hope was back in our hearts, and soon a new civilization would be born and built back to its former glory.

  Moving from the podium, I went to Kayla’s waiting arms and her small bump. She put her arm underneath mine and hugged me to her side.

  “I thought we were going to say something when we knew how many.”

  “It needs to start now. We almost lost Fred last week. We have to get our numbers up or we won’t have a chance.”

  She touched my face and smiled. “You are always so worried.”

  She was right, of course. I was always worried, but that’s just what happened when someone ran a whole clan. I knew that my mistake could cost my people. I had wondered if Kayla would be one of those mistakes, but now that she was pregnant, I knew that it would help. It wasn’t just about my love for her now, it was about the future. I pulled her in for a kiss, and we were in the middle of a hallway. There were comments heard as people passed by.

  “Why do you always whisk her away, Javier? You need to learn how to share.”

  Kayla smiled at Eben and promised him that there was plenty of her to go around. Eben called her on that, pushing her gently against the wall and sliding into her easily, pushing back her panties. I kissed her neck and watched her come. I finished her off, gripping her waist and letting her dangle on me. Her grip was tight around my neck and my cock. I was never going to get enough of her, and I planned to keep Kayla knocked up for the next ten years. Every chance I could get.
