Tristan relaxed at that. They continued to talk until they got to the clearing. When the waterfall came into view, Raven smiled at the sight of a large golden blanket on the ground covering the bright green grass. A single ray of sunlight streamed down on the blanket as if welcoming them.
“Did you do this?” Tristan asked, his eyes wide with shock.
“No. I’m guessing it is Silas telling us he approves of us being here,” Raven said with a smile. She sent up a silent ‘thank you’ to the god and pulled Tristan over to the blanket.
They sat down and Raven unlaced the soft leather boots on her feet so she could wiggle her toes in the cool breeze. Tristan chuckled and she tilted her head. “What?”
“You have such cute toes.”
She smiled. “It feels good.”
Raven reached over and unlaced Tristan’s boots, pulling them off to free his feet. It was comical to see his legs stretched out next to hers. His feet were twice the size of hers and his legs almost twice as long. It shouldn’t have surprised her, since her mates were big all over. She lay down on her back, staring up at the pink sky watching the lavender clouds slowly drifting by.
“It’s so peaceful here,” she whispered. Her life had changed so much in the last week, and yet she had never felt more relaxed. It was as if she had waited her entire life to come to Arcadia to find the serenity she had always craved.
Tristan leaned over and pressed a light kiss on her lips before lying down next to her. He reached over and twined his fingers with hers, enjoying the quiet moment together. Tristan finally broke the silence with a sigh. “Forgive me, mate. I believe all that you have told me, but it is still hard to fathom.”
Raven laughed. “You’re telling me. Imagine my surprise when I woke up and saw Silas standing there. It scared the crap out of me.”
“That is an interesting visual. You certainly have a way with words,” Tristan said with a chuckle. “So, you are a true Arcadian now.”
“I guess so. I’m still not exactly sure what that means.”
“For years, Arcadians roamed the universe as a peaceful race. It is said we traveled the stars to distant lands in search of other life. When they realized that other races were not as advanced, the travels ended. But being such a dominant race, wars ravaged the planet as warriors fought for power and supremacy here on our home world.”
Raven could imagine a race of all alpha males growing bored being constricted after having the ability to travel after so many years. Still, the thought of the damage done to the entire world was scary.
“So, you used to space travel, but you don’t anymore?”
Tristan sighed. “Our technology was destroyed. We almost caused the destruction of everything you see, but we were able to end the war before that happened. Over the years the cities separated themselves, closing off their borders to outsiders. It is said that during the wars, the male genes took over and more warriors were born to help with the fighting, but when the cities segregated themselves, loss of females became even more pronounced.”
He paused for a moment before continuing. “There is a prophecy that has been passed down for generations. It has been said that one day out of the ashes of the destruction would come the return of the Great Ones, the true shifters. But as time has passed it has become nothing more than a legend. The only time I have heard reference to a true Arcadian is in that prophecy.”
“So, I’m like…famous,” Raven said turning to him to wiggle her brows.
He laughed as he turned his head toward her. “Aye, you are.” His expression sobered. “I will never be able to tell you how much it pleases me that you chose to stay with us. It shows that you trust us and for that, I will always be grateful.”
“I do trust you,” Raven said then took a deep breath. “That’s why I want you to help ease me into the whole anal sex thing.”
Tristan froze. He blinked at her, barely able to believe what he had just heard was real. He could feel the apprehension emanating from her in waves. Earlier when he had mentioned the mating ritual when he and his brother would take her together he had felt her fear. It made him angry at himself for pushing her, but for her to give him this gift after the tumultuous relationship they had so far made his heart ache.
He was humbled by her trust in him.
Tristan loved her absolutely and staying away from her these last few days to allow her to get acclimated to their world had been pure hell. He knew she was leery of him since that first debacle when he created the blood bond with her, but he promised himself he would do whatever it took to earn her trust again.
And now she was giving him the chance.
His cock had turned to stone, pressing against the soft leather of his pants at the mere mention of being the first to claim her ass, but he needed to make sure she really wanted this. “Are you sure, little one?” he asked softly.
She nibbled on her lower lip in a way that made him want to kiss her to make her stop. “I’m sure. Okay, let me clarify that. I’m sure I want you to be the one to help me with this, but I can’t say I’m completely sold on the whole up the butt thing because until now it has strictly been an exit not an entrance type thing so—”
Tristan placed a finger over her lips to stop her rambling response.
“I will do all in my power to show you that it can be wonderful between us. I can bring you pleasure from fucking your ass, but if you do not like it we can stop at any time.”
Raven stared up at him with those startling green eyes accented with gold and silver flecks. He could see the change come over her as sheer determination filled their depths. “Okay, I’m willing to try it.”
Determined to make this good for her, Tristan began his seduction by slowly removing her clothes. He took his time, pressing light kisses along each inch of her naked flesh that he uncovered. Once she was naked, he all but tore his own clothing off so they were both bare to the sunlight.
Kneeling over her he looked down on her lush body and felt his dick throb with the need to be inside her. She looked like a goddess, laid out before his eyes wearing nothing but the torque he had made for her. Her inky black curls spread out around her head and her dark-pink nipples tightened as the cool breeze swirled around them.
His hand reached down to stroke over his heavy erection as he saw the pearly liquid seeping from her little slit as she parted her legs for his view. He had seen her naked body in the memories of his brothers, but nothing had prepared him for the reality of her.
She was so beautiful she took his breath away.
“Mine,” she growled. His eyes widened as she reached out to slap his hand away from his cock.
“Aye, it’s yours, mate. Every inch.”
She swallowed. “Yeah, and there are a lot of inches.”
“Do not worry, little one. I will not hurt you.”
She nodded. “I know.”
Tristan slowly parted her shaking thighs open wider, allowing him to see the pretty pink flesh between them. “Open for me, Raven.”
Confusion filled her gaze. “I am.”
“Not just here,” he said, placing his palm over the small strip of hair on her mound. Using his other hand he tapped a finger against his head. “I need you to open to me here, so I know what you are feeling.”
He watched her brows furrow as she concentrated and her chest rise as she took a deep breath. He felt the bond between them open. Her thoughts and feelings spilled into him, filling all of the empty places inside him. He felt her fear and uneasiness of him taking her in her ass, and quickly recalculated his plan of attack.
Lowering himself slowly between her parted thighs, he blew out a breath right on her small clit and felt her body jerk. “So pretty,” he growled softly. “So pretty and pink.” He pushed her thighs apart wider and rubbed a finger gently over her clit in a slow circle.
“First, I am going taste you. I will make you cum with my mouth and my fingers until you spill your sweet juice on my tongue,” he said, his voice a h
arsh whisper of lust. “Once I have drank my fill and you are soft and wet, I will fill this tight little hole with my cock.”
He accentuated his words by shoving two thick fingers into her tight pussy, making her moan. “When I am seated deep inside you here, I will begin to stretch your ass with my fingers to get your body ready to take me. And you will, little one. Your body was made for me to fuck. To love. Now, just relax and let me love you.”
True to his word, Tristan finger fucked her to a quick orgasm, sucking on her clit while her body shook under him. The sound of her moaning his name almost made him feral with the need to take her, but he held onto his control.
“You taste so sweet, little one,” he growled out. “I want more.”
He pushed her toward a second release and switched right before she came, shoving his tongue deep so he could feel the muscles of her pussy clamp down on him while he drank down her release.
When her body went lax, Tristan pulled back. He picked up her small body with ease, carrying her over to the pool of water as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He slammed his mouth down over hers, sharing the salty sweet taste of her essence with her as their tongues mated together in a storm of passion.
Raven pulled back and smiled at him impishly. “I like tasting myself on you.”
His rock-hard cock jerked at her words and he let out a low groan. “You taste so damn good, I could eat you all day,” he growled. “But my dick is so hard I feel like I will die if I do not get inside you now.”
He lowered them into the water, moving to an area where he could sit her down on a rock that was submerged in the water so just her lower body was surrounded by the gel-like water. He felt her body grow rigid in his embrace and nipped lightly at her lower lip. “None of that. Do not fear, little one.”
“Okay, I won’t. Shit, how can I not?” Raven blurted out. “I mean, have you ever had a cock shoved up your ass?”
“Nay!”
“Well see? Neither have I! I bet you would be pretty fucking nervous, too!”
Tristan tried to hold back his smile and kissed her. He felt her relax, her body melting into him as her arms wrapped around his neck. Unable to wait any longer, he reached between them and pushed the large head of his cock against the opening of her pussy. Her head fell back on a moan as he slowly pushed inside her.
“So hot, so tight,” he growled. “Perfect little pussy.”
He stopped once he was fully inside her. She was so tight it was like a hot, velvet fist was squeezing him. He struggled not to spill his seed inside her, but being inside her felt so good, so right, it was almost impossible.
He ground his hips against her as he leaned down to kiss her lips again. She kissed him back with fervor until she felt his fingers rub against the tight rosette of her ass. Before she could stiffen he started jerking his hips against her, rubbing his pelvis against her clit as he moved.
“Oh my god!” she cried out as one thick finger breached her asshole, pushing in slowly.
The tight muscles parted and he felt the sting of his penetration through their bond. The healing properties of the water quickly soothed the ache, leaving only the pleasure behind.
“Do you feel that, little one?” he growled as he added another finger to the first, stroking inside her, stretching her to ease what was to come.
“Yes, I feel so full of you,” she whispered. “It feels so strange.”
“Soon I will take you here. I will fuck your ass so good you will come and milk the seed from my cock.”
He could feel the shiver race through her body at his words and twisted his fingers more until she was stretched enough to take him. “One more time. Come one more time so you are ready for me, mate.”
He increased the speed of his fingers and reached down with his other hand to lightly pinch her clit, making her scream out as she came again. He growled at the sheer pleasure of feeling her muscles clamp down on him and fought the urge to spill his seed into her pussy.
Before she recovered from her orgasm, he pulled out of her body, replacing his cock where his fingers had been and began to push. Without mercy he shoved past the first ring of tight muscles, thrusting the head of his massive cock into her ass.
“Holy fuck!” Raven cried out.
Tristan rubbed his hands over her body trying to soothe her. He could feel the pain of his entry through their bond and wished he could shield her from it.
“It hurts,” she whimpered.
“Would you like me to stop?” Tristan asked softly, his own body shaking with the need to move.
“No, I…just hold on for a minute would you?”
“Anything for you,” he whispered. “It will hurt at first, but once your body gets used to having me inside you it will get better. Just let the water help ease your pain.”
“Damn it, why the hell do you guys have to have cocks the size of tree trunks!” Raven growled out as she squirmed beneath him. He gritted his teeth against the feeling of her moving on him and fought the urge to thrust deeper.
“Okay, it’s starting to ease a little,” Raven panted out.
“Here we go, mate.” Tristan carefully pushed forward, working more of his cock into her ass in slow increments. Her head thrashed from side to side as he thrust his cock deeper, working the impossibly tight hole apart.
“Relax. Let me in, Raven,” Tristan growled. “We are almost there. Take it and let me into your ass.”
Working his thumb over her clit to combat the pain, he could still feel the pain of his entry through their bond and wanted to curse. Thinking it would be better just to get his initial entry over with, he surged forward, forcing his entire cock deep inside her ass. He froze as he felt the intense pain wrack her body, his own pleasure at war with the mixture of emotions coming from her.
Raven’s body arched as she lay on the rock panting for breath, tears leaking out the corner of her eyes. Son of a bitch, she had never felt pain like that before. She tried to force her body to relax and waited for the healing water to do its job and take away the sting. Tristan hunched over her, kissing her tears away, but not before she saw the emotions swirling in his eyes.
“Forgive me, little one. I thought to make it easier by getting the first thrust over with quickly, but I hate to cause you pain.”
Raven wrapped her arms around him, holding him to her body as she adjusted to the feeling of having his cock in her ass. “It’s getting better.”
The sensation of having her ass filled was so foreign, but as the pain faded, only the pleasure remained. She could feel Tristan struggling against the need to move as he waited for her to grow accustomed to him filling her ass. Needing the distraction, she turned her head so her lips found his. He instantly took the kiss deeper, pouring his love for her through their bond as their tongues tangled together.
Tristan began rocking against her, pulling out slowly then thrusting his cock deeper inside her tight channel. He could feel her pain fade until only pleasure remained. He worked the thick length of his cock inside her in a gentle rhythm, his hands coming up to cup her breasts.
“Better?” he asked.
She nodded. “It feels so…”
“You are tighter here, but it is a smoother glide. I cannot wait to fill your ass with my seed, to claim it. Do you want that, Raven? Do you want me to come inside you?”
“Yes! Do it! Come inside me!”
Tristan pulled back so he could use his hand to rub her clit, making her squirm. Her eyes closed, but he couldn’t bear to lose the sight of her beautiful eyes. “Nay!” he growled as he began to thrust harder. “Keep your eyes open and on me, mate. Do not look away.”
Raven’s eyes popped back open and he stared down at her. He felt his control snap and he began to pound himself into her. Hips pistoning, he rode her hard, forcing both of them toward the peak of ecstasy.
“Oh god, I’m coming, Tristan!”
“Do it, mate! Come on my cock and milk my seed from me,” he demanded.
He watched as Raven’s eyes went opaque with pleasure as she screamed out. Her body shattered around him and he levered over her so he could drink down her cries. He swore as her teeth grew into fangs and they nicked his lip.
She tore her mouth away from his. “Shit, sorry!”
“Do it,” he commanded. “Put your mark on me, mate. Claim me.”
Raven turned her head, stroking her tongue over his skin before sinking her fangs into his neck. The sweet taste of his blood sent her flying even higher to the pinnacle of ecstasy. She could feel his pleasure mixing with hers through their bond.
They were one.
Connected as mates, through blood and with love.
“Fuck!” Tristan snarled as he came. The feeling of her bite and her ass clamping down on his cock milked the seed from him in hard, heated spurts. His hips slammed against her hard, his cock swelling, expanding against the tight walls of her ass until it bordered on pain.
“Tristan, it’s too much!”
He felt her body jerk as she came again and wrapped himself around her, sheltering her with his large body. “Never too much,” he growled. “My mate! Mine!”
He lowered his head down to the swell of her breast, licking his tongue across her skin before sinking his fangs into her, marking her as his for all to see. She let out another strangled scream as her body pulsed around him again, his bite throwing her into another vicious climax that left her breathless.
Tristan pulled his fangs out of her breast, lapping at the wound. He gathered her close, holding her to him as the last spurt of his cum shot into her. He breathed a sigh of relief.
She was finally his.
His mate, to protect and love.
Utter contentment filled him as they lay together, their hearts beating in sync, as one.
Concern had him pulling to look at her as he felt her body go limp beneath him. He smiled down at her as he saw the satisfied grin on her face. “Are you okay, little one?”
