Shifter: Stefan's Mark

by Jaden Sinclair

  "Now it is time for me to claim you—my mate.” He moved toward her, and Sidney found she was rooted to the spot. The need to suddenly give in to him was powerful. It drowned out the need to run. “Finally, I can feel your skin next to mine.” A picture of his body on top of hers hit, causing Sidney to need something she never needed before. “To hold you.” He discarded his shoes and inhaled deeply. “You smell so sweet.” Slowly, his hand dropped to the hem of his shirt. His eyes glittered with lust as he raised it over his head. Stefan stopped as close to her as he could get without touching, his voice a quiet caress. “I have to taste you,” he whispered. His hand went to his jeans, pulled the three buttons apart, and opened them wide.

  "Oh no, you don't.” She shook her head, backing up. “What the hell do you think you are doing?"

  "I am so tired of tormenting myself. This fight has gotten old. I want to do this right, I don't want to hurt you on the night of the full moon, and I refuse to take that chance. The only way to stop that from happening is to have you now. And have you I will.” Stefan's voice held steel determination.

  "What are you going to do, Stefan?” Sidney hated the tremor in her voice.

  "What I have wanted to do since the day I met you. I am going to make you mine.” He gave her a challenging look. “Completely mine.” Stefan reached out for her only to have Sidney quickly take a step back. There was nowhere to hide in the room.

  Too late, Sidney realized moving backward had been her pitfall. The back of her legs pressed against the bed as his hand came to rest on her shoulders. With gentle pressure, he pushed her down to the bed. His eyes never left hers as his hands returned to his jeans. Slowly, he pulled them down his legs. Sidney's heart pounded in her chest. The sight of him stripping in front of her made her feel a slight rush of excitement. Her breath caught in her throat, and she tried to look away, but she found it impossible to break their eye contact. He was too physically perfect in her eyes. Her dream come to life.

  Stripped naked in front of her, Stefan lowered himself to his knees. “I will taste every part of you.” A new sensation hit, one that Sidney wasn't sure if she could put it into words. Chills raced down her spine, and the need to feel his hands on her body, skin against skin became overpowering. So much so, a slight dampness formed between her legs.

  Stefan caressed the length of her leg before he leaned down and pressed his lips to her knee. Sidney squirmed, releasing a pent-up breath. She suddenly felt powerless like there was nothing she could do or say to make him stop, yet part of her didn't want him to. She knew that if he pushed hard enough, refused to back down, she would give in. Just like she was doing now. Nothing, not even that inner voice of hers could find a reason to make him stop. Every nerve was screaming for him to continue.

  Again, her breath caught in her throat at the feel of his hands as they dipped beneath her skirt. When he reached her panties, his hand stopped, but his mouth did not. He trailed tiny kisses up her thigh and back down to her knee. He met her eyes before he moved to her other leg and showered it with the same love and care he had the first. It felt so good and so right that Sidney started to feel confused again. There was still a small part of her screaming that this was all wrong. That he was going to break her heart, but her heart screamed out its own protest. It wanted him to go on, to show her that there was something between them, just like he had been saying all along. Sidney placed her hands on his shoulders in order to push at him but ended up digging her nails into his shoulders instead.

  * * * *

  Stefan raised his head and met her gaze. There was a mix of confusion and need in her eyes. Slowly, he moved his hand away from her panties and up to the hem of her tank top. Taking the material between his fingers, he lifted the skimpy shirt above her head. His breath caught as he stared at her bared breasts. The perfection he found in those two mounds was worth the wait. Sidney hadn't bothered with a bra this morning and immediately moved to cover up her exposure.

  Although Stefan did not want her to cover herself, he allowed it so that she could get used to the idea of what he planned to do. Reaching up, he took her face in his hands and lowered her to meet his kiss. When their lips met, he knew the game was over. He couldn't kiss her and nothing more. He increased the pressure and sought entrance to her mouth with his tongue. Sidney did not respond at first. When she finally gave in, his tongue plunged into the recess of her mouth and the real exploring began.

  Stefan kissed her deep. He poured his heart and soul into the kiss as he plunged his tongue deeper into her mouth. The taste, the feel of her fueled him. It brought out so many new feelings and emotions that Stefan felt like he was going to drown in them all. Having her kiss him back was another thrilling feeling. He pulled her arms from her chest, wrapped them around his neck, and moaned at the pleasure her fingers in his hair gave him. He caressed the length of her arms, drew her closer to him, and when he reached her back, he brushed her with light grazes. Stefan moaned again as he slid his hands to the small zipper of her skirt. He deepened the kiss that had yet to be broken. They were playing a mating game with their tongues as he took her legs and wrapped them around his hips

  He broke the heat of their kiss and trailed his tongue down the length of her neck as his fingers tangled in her hair. Her moans urged him on, hearing the sounds of her pleasure by his hand were exquisite. Nothing sounded better than the sounds of her need for him. Finally settling his hands on her silky breast, Stefan smiled against her flesh when he heard the barely audible whisper of his name. He licked the under side of her breast while he gently pulled the other nipple. A soft moan escaped her as he took her taut nipple into his hot mouth. The ache between his legs had Stefan wondering if he was going to last at all. There was so much more he wanted to do and to taste before he joined their bodies together, before he made her completely his. Taking his time with each nipple, he made sure they were hard, sensitive and crying out for more before he lowered his head to her stomach. And once again, he felt like he could kiss her body all night long. To touch her forever, to never ever let her go.

  When finally, he slipped a hand inside her panties, her pussy was hot, wet, and ready. Lightly, he rubbed her outer lips in a circular motion. He wanted her to accept his touch in a place that would belong only to him. When he heard her moan, he took it as permission to continue and slipped a finger inside, barely entering her. Although she was ready, he still wanted to taste her, felt the need to taste her.

  Stefan stood, which caused Sidney's hands to leave his neck. His eyes never left hers, not even when he smiled to let her know everything was going to be okay. Hooking his hands under her arms, Stefan picked her up, moving her more to the center of the bed, then laid her down. He knew by looking at her that she felt the same passion as he, except she only needed to let go and feel it. As he pulled her skirt and panties off, he bent over to continue kissing down the length of her body. Taking one foot in his hand, he raised it slightly to give his mouth more access. Trailing kisses up her leg, he sighed with his pleasure at seeing her open for him finally. When he reached her pussy, he stopped and took the other leg in his hand, kissing down the length, and then back up. He stopped and looked up to meet Sidney's gaze. He bit back a laugh as he watched her hold the sheet over her head so tightly that her knuckles were turning white. He smiled, knowing she was on the edge. There was no going back now. Finally, he would claim her. Finally, she was going to be his!

  Stefan raised her legs to his shoulders and leaned in to kiss her pussy. Her essence drove him crazy. Being this close to her and breathing in the scent of her had nearly snapped his control. Stefan broke out in a sweat as he fought to restrain himself, going slow so he would not hurt her. Breathing deeply of her sweetness, he smiled before he leaned in and slowly licked the length of her pussy. He moved back up and flicked her clit with his tongue, reveling in her reaction. The way her gaze skimmed the length of him and the frown on her face were both signs that she was not only close to release, but she was learning som
ething about her body. She was learning that he was the one for her.

  Slipping his index finger inside her, he sucked her clit into his mouth. Her scream of surprise and enjoyment urged him on and he sucked harder as he finger fucked her. Sidney's hips rose to meet his hand. Together, they worked out the perfect rhythm. Before long, Sidney moaned, rose up slightly, and ground herself harder on his finger.

  Carefully, he lowered his body down on top of her. When he covered her fully, he felt her come again as she grabbed hold of his arms. Pushing her legs farther apart with his own, he settled himself between them with his hand still working her pussy. He slowed the motion of his finger and when he left her body, a quiet protest escaped her. When he replaced his finger with the head of his cock, Sidney once again stiffened.

  Stefan stopped all movement and only rubbed the head along the slit of her pussy. He had come such a long way that to have her fear him all over again would be brutal, not to mention impossible for him. Stefan was at a point that he wouldn't be able to stop, no matter what happened. He had to have her, needed to have her wrapped around him, to have her complete him the only way a true mate could.

  "I won't hurt you,” he whispered in a thick voice. “I could never hurt you. You are my life."

  Chapter Six

  Sidney studied Stefan. With his dirty blond hair in his now-red eyes as he looked down at her with such emotion, she surprisingly didn't feel any fear. The expression in his eyes should have been enough for her to back away, to tell him no and run for it, yet she didn't. His finely chiseled face told of hunger, determination, and a need for control. For the first time, she recognized the power of the man, and she couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't used force to bend her to his will.

  "Stefan?” Sidney whispered. Fear hit her, along with the strong need to run. When she glanced down between their bodies terror started to form. There was no way this was going to work, no way was she going to relax enough to enjoy a damn thing. When he looked at her, Sidney knew that he saw her fear. She just couldn't hold it back. This situation was suddenly scary. “I can't."

  "You can."

  Slowly, she felt him push the head of his cock into her. He allowed her time to get used to the invasion, but not much, which caused Sidney to dig her nails into his chest. She wanted nothing more than to push him away, to stop him from trying to force his way into her body, but no matter how she fought this, her body wanted the completion. Seconds later, he pushed inside a little more. Sidney was startled by the gentle act. They had been this far before, and Sidney was quickly starting to wonder if she should fight again. She kept asking herself if she was ready for him to take her virginity. If this was really what she wanted? Did she care enough about him to give him what he wanted?

  "Feel, Sidney,” he whispered. “Feel my heart beat for you only."

  Sidney closed her eyes and gave in. No matter how much she thought she needed to fight him, she couldn't. He was right. She did feel it. They did belong together, and she knew it deep within her soul. This man was her soul mate and would always be. She now knew that her innocence was his to take. No other would make her feel like he was making her feel now.

  "Oh God, Sid. You have no idea how much I've wanted this, how much I've needed this.” Stefan nipped her bottom lip as he spoke.

  Stefan's lips met hers for a kiss that was both gentle and demanding. When his tongue pushed into her mouth, he thrust his hips upward and claimed her virginity. Refusing to break the kiss, he swallowed her muffled cry. She stiffened and pushed at his chest with her hands. With a hiss, he broke their kiss. He reared, causing him to push deeper into her pussy.

  "No! I can't handle this.” Sidney's effort to push him off intensified. “You don't fit in my body.” Sidney swiped at his chest with her nails. “This won't work!” she screamed a high, piercing sound that was mixed with a cry.

  Stefan grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head with one hand. Lowering himself back down to her body, he nuzzled her ear. “Relax."

  Sidney could feel his barely restrained control. She knew he was trying to give her time to get used to the invasion of his body. When she continued to squirm beneath him, he took control. Slowly and gently, he pulled back. When he thrust forward again, Sidney moaned. He quickened his pace, slamming into her tight pussy. Sidney's moans grew louder, and finally, she thrust her hips up to meet him. She never thought that she would feel this kind of pleasure at giving in to him. Her body was alive for the first time ever. All she cared about was the pleasure that kept building and building until she felt like she had to hold on to him for dear life. And that was just what she did.

  "Oh God!” He moaned. He let go of her wrists and held tightly to the sheets on the bed, hearing them start to rip.

  * * * *

  Stefan felt her nails dig into his arms and shoulders and loved it. He welcomed the pain, knowing that finally he was able to love her the way he had dreamed. Her moans got louder as he fucked her deeper. Sidney hung onto him as he kept a hold of her with his teeth. He could sense her loss of control.

  Stefan met Sidney's gaze as her nails sunk deeper into his arms, drawing blood when her orgasm hit. Stefan grasped her hips and watched her face as she rode wave after wave of pleasure. He never stopped his hips, never slowed down, and only increased his speed and strength. In fact, Stefan became more urgent as his control slipped, and he let her pussy milk him for all he was worth. His climax was more intense than he'd ever had before. He yelled as he spilled every ounce of his seed inside of her tight, hot pussy.

  Stefan couldn't move. His breathing was labored, and he needed to get it under control. He was determined to enjoy every small aftershock from the sweet pussy that continued to grip his cock. Her body still held his tightly, and he was loathe to let it end, but end it must.

  Careful not to hurt her, he pulled his cock from her still hot pussy. He moved to the side of her and pulled her into the crook of his arm, satisfied for the moment. Neither said a word. He wondered what she was thinking but didn't ask. He was satisfied with her letting him hold her as he had dreamed of doing. When he felt her relax, he pulled her closer against him.

  "Sid, I love you,” he murmured in her hair. “I always have, and I always will."

  Sidney didn't look at him, but she did stiffen slightly. “What?"

  "I don't have to repeat myself.” He nuzzled her neck and kissed her ear. “You know what I said."

  "How is that possible? You don't love me. You don't even know me."

  Stefan's body started to stir. His cock hardened again, and he pulled her closer. In the spoon position as they were, he had no doubt she could also feel it. “Sidney, let's not start this again.” He sighed. “I have known you for a long time—in your dreams, your thoughts and now in your very beautiful body.” His voice was low, smooth, and thick. “When I said I was in love, I meant every word. How could I have been more specific? I am in love with you, Sidney."

  Sidney rolled over and faced him. Whatever she had been about to say was silenced when he settled himself on top of her. Pressing his finger to her lips, he smiled. “Shhh, don't speak. Just enjoy."

  Stefan parted her legs with his knees and leaned down, placing most of his weight on his elbows. Sidney's hands came back up to his chest, but she didn't push him away, which pleased him. They were now at a point neither could go back.

  "You can disbelieve my words, but my body doesn't lie. What does it tell you, Sidney?"

  He moved in for a kiss. He felt her breathing quicken and knew he had taken her breath away. Once again, he slowly entered her. With a moan, Stefan deepened the kiss, hunger overtaking him. Sidney wrapped her legs around his waist. She pulled him closer, and he became lost to everything except for the sensations her body caused as she held him so close. Her tight pussy seized his cock and he rose up onto his hands, plunging deeper, Sidney raised her legs higher on his hips and wrapped her arms around him as he drove into her, harder and
faster.

  Sidney broke their kiss and moved down to nibble at his neck and shoulder. Once again, her nails dug into his skin and he enjoyed it immensely.

  "Please,” Sidney cried out just before she buried her face in his shoulder and sank her teeth into his flesh.

  Stefan growled. “Tell me! What is it you need, Sidney?"

  "I need you,” she screamed as she trailed her hands down his back to his ass.

  "What is it you ask of me?” Her nails sunk into the flesh of his ass, and he groaned.

  Stefan slowed his movements when he heard her muted cry. Although, he had no doubts about her desire, he wanted her to say it. “Say it."

  "Fuck me!” Sidney screamed. “Oh God, Stefan, fuck me hard!” she cried, biting him hard.

  Once he heard the words, he lost the control he had fought for. Increasing his pace, he thrust as savagely as he could. Her climax only fueled his desire, making him pound into her harder and faster than he'd ever taken anyone. He wanted every bit of her. He wouldn't stop until he had it.

  Sidney's nails raked down his back, and Stefan yelled. The pain mixed with his pleasure, intensifying it to the max. The heaviness of his balls as they slapped her ass told him he was near. He wanted this to last as long as possible, yet her passion was making that restraint difficult. His inner beast took over, claiming her. Although he never thought he'd do it, he couldn't stop himself from sinking his teeth into her shoulder. He left his mark on her as he fucked deeper and harder than before. Finally, he came.

  As he emptied himself into her, he felt her go limp, but still, he could not let go of her. This was his dream. He had waited forever to have her beneath him pleading with him to take her the way that he wanted. When he was spent, he still could not let go of her. He didn't want her to look at him with hate in her eyes for the way he just made love to her.

  Stefan released his mouth from her shoulder and placed light kisses on and around it. He smiled at the sight of it. Finally, he had his mark upon her. Finally, she was his. One thing Stefan hoped for was that she wouldn't want to kill him the moment she saw the mark on her shoulder. He also didn't want her to hate him. He could deal with her anger but never her hate. Stefan was reluctant to let their contact end, so he adjusted his weight to his arms and leaned in to kiss her neck and ears. Sidney shifted beneath him, and Stefan knew she was about to push him away. He ended up being surprised when her hands tangled in his hair, letting pieces slip through her fingers before she drew his head to her chest. Stefan had been ready for a battle, but it never came. He smiled and relaxed. His heart told him that the battle between them was finally over. No more fighting when the subject of sex came up, but he knew that there would be other battles. It wouldn't be Sidney if she gave in to everything.
