The Shifter's Fight

by R. A. Boyd

  The orgasm building in her abdomen drove her wild with passion as she begged him to make her come, pleaded with him to fuck her with his fingers. Just when she thought she would explode, Aiden changed his attack and slowly licked her from the bottom of her slit to just below her clit. It brought her back from the edge just enough for her to enjoy the feel of his tongue on her most receptive parts.

  She wanted his long fingers inside her, pressing on that wonderful spot that had thrown her headlong into an orgasm over and over the night before. But now, he was teasing. She tried to lower her hips so that his fingers would slide easily into her.

  “Not yet,” he said, figuring out her game. He pulled away so that his fingernails played lightly with the outside of her pussy.

  Aiden’s fingers moved lower and Paige tensed as one finger toyed with the entrance of her virgin ass. Even though she wasn’t sure what he was going to do she kept moving her hips to bask in the attention of his tongue and teeth and lips.

  He kissed her clit once, twice, and then nipped her there. The slight pain of his teeth did something to her. “Do that again, please,” she whispered.

  Aiden smiled and licked at her entrance, and just as his finger circled around her puckered ass he bit down again. She called out his name as her knees went weak. Good gravy that was one of the best things she’d ever experienced. The small ache from his teeth shot tendrils of passion through her entire body.

  Paige couldn’t tell how long he kept at the assault, slowly licking her clit and then gently biting down as his finger teased her ass. She let out a growl of frustration and fought the urge to grab him by his ears and demand he make her come.

  “So wet for me,” he said, looking up at her while his hand still worked. “Do you want me to make you come?”

  In fear of her voice sounding like a tortured cry she nodded and caressed the side of his face, drawing him closer to the wet heat between her thighs.

  “Watch me.” His eyes stayed focused on hers as he brought his lips to her clit and started sucking again. This time he applied pressure to where his finger played with her until the tip of his finger slowly slid into her ass.

  The delicious pressure took her by surprise. She gasped and rolled her eyes closed, and Aiden stopped everything he was doing.

  “Watch me while I make you come.” His voice was husky and low like an animal’s growl, and his eyes were now shining like the moon on a grassy field.

  Ohh, she didn’t know if she could keep her eyes open. The pleasure he was pulling from her was intoxicating. Right now she couldn’t control her actions, but if her orgasm depended on keeping her eyes open and on him she would superglue her freaking eyelids to her eyebrows.

  That silly thought made her laugh but it tapered off to a breathy sigh as a throaty rumble worked its way through Aiden’s mouth. The vibration shook his tongue and lips like her best battery operated friend, but the warm pull from his suction picked her up and shoved her over the crest of an orgasm.

  With the might of two-thousand toothpicks on her eyelids, Paige looked down at Aiden as she screamed out his name, the orgasm blasting through her body. Sobs punched through her mouth as Aiden’s lips and tongue kept working over her wanting pussy, his whole finger now sliding in and out of her ass. He growled again and this time she couldn’t stop herself. Paige’s eyes rolled closed as her vision darkened around the edges and then exploded into flashing bright lights all around her.

  Without paying attention to what she was doing, she brought her head back and cracked it against the shower wall so hard that she lost focus and started choking on the water that rained down on them. Aiden tried to break away from her still quivering flesh and ask if she was okay, but she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him to her as her body rode the waves of her climax until she thought she would fall over.

  “I’m okay. I’m okay,” she said, over and over again as she rubbed the back of her tender scalp.

  Once the aftershocks came to an end Aiden kissed and nipped his way up her body, pausing to bite and kneed the extra skin around her waist, and pulled her to him as she fought to catch her breath.

  “Are you ready for me?” He looked down at her as he cut the water off, and then picked her up like he was carrying her over the threshold of a bridal suite.

  Now she understood what he’d meant when he said that he wanted her ready for him. He had made her come until her pussy was saturated with lust for him, ready to accept the width and length of his large cock.

  Hell. Yes. She’d never been more ready for anything in her life. Wet and dripping from the shower, Aiden walked barefoot from the bathroom and into his bedroom. Paige would have slipped, tripped, and probably broken at least three toes if she’d tried to do this, but Aiden was flawless in his balance and care for her.

  It took her a few moments to realize he hadn’t walked through the door he’d used to bring her into the bathroom. There was a connecting door that she’d thought was a linen closet, but once her eyes adjusted to the darkness she realized it was a bedroom.

  “Two ways to get in and out of the master bathroom,” he said as if reading her thoughts. As if she were a delicate thing he’d vowed to protect, Aiden lowered her to the bed and moved the pillows around until she was comfortable. “If we do this now, Paige, I’m yours and your mine.” He hovered over her but still kept his distance.

  Didn’t he know that they’d already passed that point? They belonged to each other and nothing in this world could separate them. No human, angel, shifter, or witch would break the bond they’d built. The bond that they were still building.

  “Yes,” she said, nodding as she looked into his glowing eyes. “I’m ready.”

  She grasped him by both sides of his face and brought him down to her until his body was nestled between her legs and she could feel his cock brush against her saturated pussy. She leaned up and kissed his lips, tasting the pleasure he’d drawn from her core.

  He relaxed against her full body and settled himself on his elbows. He was so powerful and big, and he looked uncomfortable.

  Paige lifted her knees higher on either side of his body and smiled as he sipped at her lips. “You won’t hurt me. I trust you.”

  His hesitance hung in the air around them. Here was this strong and kind man, this fallen angel, who had a saber-tooth sleeping inside him. He had lived for so long and experienced so many things and here he was, afraid that he would hurt her. She would never be his first in so many things, but it brought some kind of peace and triumph that they would experiences this together. His first time being with a virgin and her first time making love. She loved him even more right now than she had before. Loved him? Did she love him?

  Reaching down between their bodies, Paige grabbed his thick, heavy cock and placed the large head at her entrance. He was hot and his body strained above hers.

  “It’s okay,” she said, lifting her hips to let him inside. Oh, that felt good. So wonderfully good. “It’s okay.”

  With his forehead resting on hers Aiden rocked his hips forward and plunged deeper inside. She watched him concentrate, his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open as he sank into her wet heat.

  She gasped and his eyes flew open, afraid he’d done something wrong. She could see the panic in his eyes.

  “You feel good inside me. Keep going.”

  Nodding, he kept his eyes on hers as he flexed his abs against her stomach and dove deeper. She groaned at his invasion, his large cock stretching and filling her. When his cock was fully sheathed inside her, they both cried out in desire and surrender.

  The beautiful ache he’d caused inside her was lovely, warm, welcomed.

  “Fuuuck,” Aiden drawled out. “So fucking tight. So goddamn wet. Are you okay?”

  Words failing her, she nodded and ran her nails up and down his arms to urge him on. His chest heaved as his hands caressed her face and neck. His cock slid out of her, almost completely, and when he drove back inside the delicious friction sen
t bursts of pleasure through her. Paige shivered as he went deep, his pubic bone gently abrading her clit with every stroke of his cock.

  He kissed her and she whimpered into his mouth as his powerful body worked her over. His hands were all over her, running up her thighs and over her abdomen, fisting her hair at the nape of her neck to hold her lips to his. She panted and moaned as the orgasm started to build deep in her core.

  “I’ve loved you for thousands of years, Paige. It’s always only been you. The promise of you.”

  And for Paige, it had only ever been Aiden. The idea of Aiden, of the one who would love her for exactly who she was. How could she have ever existed without him in her life?

  Watching him move brought on a new level to her already soring emotions. He was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, and his muscles tensed and released with the ease and skill of a graceful predator.

  “Aiden, please,” she begged. Begging to keep moving, begging him to make her come. “Oh, God. I’m… fuck. Please.”

  The slow rise to orgasm was pounding down on her. Her body was rigid with need for release as his movements became erratic. He ran one hand down her thigh and brought her leg higher up on his torso. Paige watched as the expressions on his face flashed from ecstasy to torture as he tried not to hurt her, but she was loving every minute. She moaned as his rock hard member pummeled her pussy, the slick sounds of her desire sounding off in the room behind their cries.

  Her climax tore through her and became everything she knew, everything she could sense. A growl ripped through Aiden’s lips as he buried himself inside her, his orgasm pouring into her and crashing over him. He watched her, his pupils dilated until only a thin line of green shown in his eyes. Two long canines grew from his gums as the glowing amber eyes of his beast took over.

  “Do it,” she said as he drove into her slowly, bringing on another orgasm. “You don’t have to ask or hold anything back from me. Claim me.”

  A war raged in his eyes, but Paige was ready to take control. She grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him to her as she writhed against his tense body. He kissed her once, and then clamped his teeth over her shoulder and bit down.

  The pain was breathtaking and instant, and it was a direct line to her core. The orgasm blinded her this time, taking away from the sharpness of his teeth in her flesh and adding to his pulsing cock in her pussy.

  She chanted his name again and again, loving the knowledge that they were truly mated. As the quick pulses inside her slowed down, Paige leaned up and fixed her teeth to his chest right over his heart.

  As his teeth withdrew from her shoulder he licked at her wound and grasped the back of her head, pulling her closer. “Do it, now,” he demanded. As she sank her blunt teeth into his skin and muscles until her jaw hurt, Aiden’s form undulated above her. “Mine,” he said, over and over again, but when he pulled away from her to look in her eyes, his facial features were striking and more animal than ever. “Ours.” His voice had the low, animalistic growl of a demon. He smiled at her and licked her shoulder, tending to her wound.

  Chapter 10

  Aiden held off as long as he could just so he could feel her body relax as she fell asleep in his arms. Even after she’d dozed off he laid there next to her, listening to her soft breaths evening out. Paige was his, and he would belong to her until his life was over.

  Struggling to move away from her, he forced himself to walk outside so that he could shift. He’d fought it long enough. If he didn’t leave now he would shift in his house. He didn’t want that. His saber-tooth hadn’t had control in countless centuries. It would want the freedom of being out in the open air.

  The familiar tingles danced across his body and through every nerve he had as his beast woke fully, ready to stalk through the woods and breathe fresh air again. It was late and he didn’t want to wake anyone.

  The cold earth beneath his bare feet was a welcoming sensation against the tightness and pain that were about to take him over. Once he was in the clearing but still within the barrier of their property, Aiden gave into the shift and fell to his hands and knees. The feel of bones and cartilage popping and flesh tearing and reshaping filled his senses. The pain was blinding and instant, and when it was over the world was new again.

  The soft song of an owl singing filled the air, and the flapping wings of bats seemed to pulse around him. The scent of growing grass beneath the semi-frozen dirt clung to his nose, and the wind rustling his brown, orange, and black fur could be heard as if someone ran a microphone along his body. Long, thick, sharp nails dug into the earth and he raked his fingers deep to feel the soft and grainy dirt on his huge paw.

  Without taking too long to remember how this body worked, Aiden bunched his muscles and then took off at a sprint through the clearing. He galloped through the trees and closed his eyes to focus on everything around him, and when he opened his eyes and looked to the night sky the brightness of the stars brought him to a halting stop.

  The stars. The moon. So clear and bright. They pulsed with life.

  “You look happy,” a voice said off to his right.

  If Aiden wasn’t in control of himself he would have lunged at the intruder, but he knew the voice well.

  Cass leaned against a tree with her arms crossed over her chest. In the darkness of the woods, she looked like a goddess, her dark and coily hair pulled up in a bun like a crown on her head. Her brown skin vibrated with light and the ease that emanated from her was contagious.

  Did she know he could have made a mistake and pounced on her? He shook his head and growled, knowing she couldn’t understand.

  But just like the beautifully annoying, mind-reading alpha she was, she grinned and put one hand on her hip. “Meh. I shouldn’t have snuck up on you. I’d have jumped up in this tree if you would have come for me.” She shrugged and reached into her pocket, pulling out a bag of trail mix. “Just wanted you to know I was around. I usually prowl our territory at night to make sure all is safe. Go on,” she said, raising her chin. “Run around and have fun. I’ll keep an ear out to make sure our people are safe.”

  He trusted her implicitly. Even with Damon and Jax gone, Cass would make sure they were all okay.

  As he walked passed her and deeper into the woods, he took his large head and gently pushed her in the direction of the houses. If he was out here running around he wanted Cass closer to where his mate slept. She took the hint and started walking back to the community. Giving him a two-fingered wave over her shoulder, she disappeared into the canopy of trees and empty bushes.

  Glancing up at the night sky, he gave a silent thank you to the Creator and sprinted deeper into the woods to get to know this form again.

  The sun was coming up when he made it back home. Home. Home was wherever Paige was, and knowing that she slept peacefully in their house brought him a satisfaction he hadn’t experienced in so long.

  His bones and muscles ached from shifting back into his human form. The exploring he’d done the night before threatened to put him to sleep before he stepped into the shower. The falling water relaxed him and all he wanted to do was crawl back into bed and make love to his mate. Being inside of her was magnificent. She calmed him and made him whole. He glanced down at the claiming mark Paige had given him and smiled. This is what he’d been waiting for.

  He fought the urge to bury his cock inside her and decided to rub off an orgasm as he stood in the shower. Paige needed time to heal. She’d taken every inch of him last night, but he’d smelled blood after they’d made love. She needed time.

  As the water streamed down his back and chest he rested one hand on the shower wall and slid the other down his abs. He closed his eyes and saw Paige, looking up at him with ecstasy painted across her beautiful face. Fisting his cock and gliding his hand to the swollen head, he tightened his grip and imagined her tight cunt sheathing his length. He pumped his hips forward and could hear her whisper his name, her body tightly coiled and ready for a release that only he co
uld give.

  The water that danced down his back and arms were her hands pulling him to her warm, soft body. Fuck, he was ready to come. All but his hand tensed as the building pressure gathered in his balls and shot up his spine. His hips jerked forward and he squeezed his dick harder. He moaned and milked his cock as he came, murmuring Paige’s name until his entire body tingled with relief. He leaned back in the shower and let the water relax his body again. Even jerking off didn’t quell the need he had for her, but it would do for now.

  He dried himself and crept back into bed, molding his body against Paige’s sleeping form. She left off a soft moan and moved closer to him, rubbing her full ass on his cock.

  “Damn-it,” he whispered as she turned around and slung her leg across his body.

  The warmth of her pussy was pressed to his thigh. All he had to do was open her legs a little wider and he could plant himself inside her tight heat. Nope. Not going to happen.

  She was probably sore but he could still taste her. The thought brought a smile to his face, and just as he started heading south under the sheets her cellphone started to ring. He glanced at the clock. Eight in the morning. The exact time that rat-bastard Samiyah called her every day.

  “Paige,” Aiden said, rubbing the tips of his fingers along her face.

  With her eyes still closed she smiled at him, but the look of happiness faded away as she heard the ringing. She swallowed and shook her head. Worry and hatred filled her now open eyes.

  Since he was closer, Aiden reached for her phone and gave it to her. They still had to keep up the charade that she was under his spell.

  “Good morning, Poppa Sam,” she said, clearing her throat and sitting up. Calling him Poppa Sam brought a frown to her face, and Aiden could tell she was fighting to keep calm.

  “Good morning, Paige. How are you?” Samiyah’s voice was loud and clear to Aiden.

  She sniffed and let out a shuddering breath. “I’m well. You?”
