“Lick it.” Shea’s eyes shot up to Logan’s. His eyes had turned arctic blue, and he was looking down at her like he wanted to rip her clothes off and fuck her as hard and fast as he could. Shea was all for that, but she knew her mate had something to prove. “Lick the head, sweetheart. You want to, and I definitely want you to.” Shea kept eye contact and leaned forward. She stuck her tongue out and took one long swipe of the tip of his cock. Logan grunted, and she moaned at the taste. He tasted salty and sweet all together, and she licked him again.
Shea couldn’t get enough of her mate’s hard cock, and she wanted more. She settled her mouth onto the tip and sucked him into her mouth. She felt Logan grip her hair and guide her. It was the most intense, erotic thing that she had ever felt, having him dominate her attentions. She sucked him deeper and deeper until he hit the back of her throat. He wasn’t all the way in, but Shea wasn’t sure how to do that.
“Relax your throat, and it will massage the head.” Logan instructed her, and she did just that. He slid the rest of the way in, and she gripped him in her throat. She swallowed around him, and he moaned long and low. Shea realized that was something he really liked, and did it again.
After a few more times, Logan’s hand tightened in her hair, and he pulled her off of him.
“But I wasn’t finished,” Shea complained, and gave him a disgruntled look. He smiled down at her and caressed her jaw.
“I know, baby. Next time, I’ll let you play and have your fun. But for now, I want you naked.” She shivered, and he chuckled at his words.
Logan reached for the hem of her shirt and drew it over her belly and breasts and, finally, her head. Her breasts were quite swollen and nearly falling out of her black satin bra. She wondered if she should have invested in more sexy lingerie. Men liked that, didn’t they? Her bra and panties served only a functional purpose, and while they weren’t ugly, they weren’t specifically alluring either.
“What’s wrong, love?” Logan asked, breaking her out of her inner dialogue.
“I was wondering if you would prefer me in more sexy lingerie than a strictly useful bra.” The words slipped out, and Shea was embarrassed. She wouldn’t look at Logan, until he lifted her chin to meet his eyes.
“You are beautiful. I love everything about your body.” His hand swept along her belly, and the baby kicked him, causing them both to smile. “If you want to go lingerie shopping, I would be happy to go with you, but all I need is you naked.” He knelt on the floor, and took her face in his hands. He pressed a gentle kiss that turned heated, as he pushed his tongue into her mouth and she sucked on it. “Lean back, baby,” he said after breaking the kiss.
Shea leaned back on her hands and watched Logan pull her pants from her body. She was left in nothing but her bra and underwear, which he quickly fixed. He reached behind her and unhooked her bra. Her heavier-than-usual breasts were pulled from the bra.
Logan’s finger gently touched the tip of her erect nipple. Then he bent his head and licked it. Shea’s nipples were already sensitive, and his actions sent a pulse straight down to her clit. She moaned and pressed her breast more firmly into his face. He made a noise of pleasure at her actions and sucked the nipple into his mouth. His other hand slid up to cup her other breast and began playing with her other nipple.
Shea was squirming around beneath Logan, getting more and more turned on. After his attentions were divided between her breasts for a while, Shea couldn’t stop the plea that tumbled from her mouth.
“Please, please, Logan. I need more.” Logan groaned and leaned up and kissed her fiercely, before reaching down and pulling off her very wet panties. Logan knelt between her spread thighs and took in a breath.
“You smell ripe, love. Absolutely perfect.” He dipped his head down, and before Shea had a moment to think, his tongue traced her clit, causing her to arch her back. Unfortunately, her belly was so large at this point that she couldn’t see what he was doing, but she felt every touch he gave her. He continued licking around her clit and dipped down, plunging his tongue into her wet pussy.
Shea gripped the blankets in both fists and tried not to moan too loudly. Shifters had excellent hearing, and the last thing she wanted was to wake the children. Logan lifted his head, and Shea was breathless to beg for more. His head appeared over her rounded belly, and he smiled at her with a twinkle in his eye. Shea was beginning to realize that her mate was a mischief-maker, and she was in for many new things.
“That day you were gone shopping with some of the clan members I had the room soundproofed. So, be as loud as you want, baby.” As quickly as he had dropped the bombshell, he was back between her legs blowing her mind.
This time, Shea didn’t hold back the noises that he pulled from her. She moaned and arched more and more as his attentions increased. Before she knew it, she was shouting out his name and having the best orgasm of her life. She lay there, catching her breath, and realized that Logan was lying next to her and tracing his hand over her belly. There was no movement from inside, so she knew that the cub must be sleeping.
She rolled to her side and kissed the closest part of Logan she could reach, which turned out to be his chest. She kissed him a few times before looking up into his still arctic blue eyes. He followed every little move she made, like the predator he was. She got up on all fours and turned her ass toward her mate. She knew that this was a favoured way for certain shifters to take their mate, especially the first time. She also had been given advice from her friends who had been extremely pregnant and still having amazing sex with their mates as to the best position for comfort and to reach climax.
Before she could shake her ass at him to entice him even more, he growled and was up behind her. She felt his erection slide over her ass as he got into a good position behind her.
“Are you sure, Shea?” His voice came from behind her.
“Positive. Take me, Logan,” she replied, and he groaned at her response. She felt his lips press to her upper back as he rained kisses all over her. He reached under her and tweaked her nipple, as she felt his cock at her entrance. She placed her hand over his on her breast and pushed back against him, causing his cock to slip into her.
“Mmmm.” His rumble made her feel amazing. He pushed in gently, until he was completely inside her. She felt full and complete. “I’m going to ride you, but I’ll make it gentle, baby, I promise.” He whispered in her ear.
Logan’s body was so much bigger than hers that she felt surrounded by him in every way, and she loved it. He began to move in and out of her slick heat at a steady pace. Shea was so aroused that she could feel another orgasm coming, and she couldn’t stop the moan that ripped from her as he pinched her nipple and pumped into her. She came with another shout, but Logan didn’t stop. She felt tender for a couple more thrusts, before her pleasure was heightened again.
Logan’s thrusts became a little harder, but it didn’t hurt, it made Shea even more aroused.
“Mine.” Logan started and settled his wide-open mouth on her shoulder. He kept pumping in and out of her, and Shea couldn’t help but answer his declaration.
“Yours. Always. Now prove it.” The last was said on a moan as she began another orgasm. Logan growled, and his sharp, shifted bear teeth dug into her shoulder. Shea had expected pain, but there was only a brief sting before her orgasm went to monumental proportions at Logan’s claiming. She heard him growl, and when he pulled his fangs from her shoulder, he roared so loud she thought the windows would shatter.
Shea came to, cuddled in Logan’s arms with her back pressed to his front. He was licking her wounds and rubbing her belly again. The man has a definite fetish for your pregnant belly.
“Are you all right?” Logan rumbled behind her, and she wiggled against him. He was already hard again, and she giggled. “Brat,” he said with affection, and then smacked her ass. Shea squeaked, and then Logan laughed.
“I’m great. I can feel you inside me.” It was a connection that she couldn’t desc
ribe, but she felt whole. Logan pressed his hard cock against her ass.
“Not yet. But that can be arranged.” Shea laughed with her mate and loved the light-heartedness that came from him. So he showed her how much he loved and desired her again, before they fell asleep in each other’s arms. Shea could sense Logan’s knowledge of something he didn’t want to tell her, but she would find out later.
Outside the house, the bear stayed in the trees and watched. Darius was finally in reach of his son, and he wasn’t going to let anything stop him. Not that stupid human who was his mate’s sister or her damn mate. He was taking what was his, and he would kill them all to get it.
Chapter 10
Over the next week, the house’s construction was finished, and everyone prepared for the arrival of the baby. It was Halloween, and Shea was helping the children get dressed in their costumes. Sasha had decided to be a fairy princess, and Hudson thought it would be fun to dress up as a pirate. While the children were very intelligent shifters, Shea was also pleased that they were being regular children. Wild was a very family-oriented place, and everyone looked out for cubs no matter whose they were.
For Halloween, there was a party for kids and a dance for adults at the big community center in town. Shea wasn’t feeling good enough to go to the dance, so she had volunteered to watch the kids at the clan house while the other adults went. Nico and Indigo were going to be there, and so was Celeste, who was Caleb’s little sister and Dahlia’s twin. Apparently, multiple births ran in lion matings. Celeste had recently come to town, and although Shea didn’t know her too well, she heard that the woman was kind.
“Are we ready for a Halloween party?” Logan’s voice boomed from the entryway of the dining room where Shea was getting them ready. The kids squealed in excitement and jumped on their father. He is. Shea realized that he was everything a father should be, and he loved the kids, no matter that blood wasn’t a factor. Her ever so serious mate was dressed as a pencil. The kids ran off to get their shoes, and Logan pulled Shea into his arms.
Shea tried hard not to laugh, but she couldn’t contain herself. She was cuddling a pencil, for crying out loud! She laughed and laughed, not being able to stop, and looked into Logan’s offended eyes.
“I’m sorry, I’m really s–sorry.” She tried to breathe in and out to sound convincing.
“You are not, you little brat.” Logan growled at her and picked her up, setting her on the table. “I will have you know this is a very good costume. I am quite handy to have around, and I have a large prick.” He smiled and bounced his eyebrows at the last statement, and Shea laughed again.
Shea reached up and pulled Logan’s head down, kissing him. When they pulled apart, she smiled at him.
“I love you. You make a wonderful pencil, and you do have a very large prick.” She reached down and rubbed the organ in question through the costume. Shea pulled her hand away as the kids came running back into the room.
“Tease.” Logan growled at her and nipped her lip. They all got into Logan’s truck and made their way to the Halloween party.
Three hours later, Shea sat on a chair in the clan house living room as all the children were put to sleep. It wasn’t a difficult task, because the children had all run around the Halloween party and worn themselves out. Indigo walked in and placed Jonah in a portable bed next to the couch before she sat down.
“So, how are you feeling?” Indi asked Shea.
“All right, I guess. I’m tired, my feet are swollen, and I can be a little irritable,” Shea admitted, and Indi smiled at her.
“Yeah, I get that. Don’t worry, it won’t be long now.” Indi closed her eyes and rested her head on the back of the couch she sat on. Shea wasn’t sure if she should ask, but decided she might as well.
“Is that you trying to make me feel better or actual knowledge?” Shea had never once asked Indi about the future, and she was almost sure that she didn’t want to know, but this one thing might not be as bad. Indigo’s mouth curved into a smile, but she didn’t open her eyes.
“Sorry, toots. I was being comforting, not telling you that I saw it in a vision. Can’t help with that.” Shea wasn’t too disappointed. She wasn’t sure she liked the idea of Indigo seeing things about her future.
The two of them sat and spoke for a while about nothing important, and then Nico came in and sat down next to his mate. The two were very much in love, but also looked tired.
“What are you two up to?” Nico asked playfully and put his arm around his mate’s shoulders, pulling her close. Indigo cuddled into her mate and whispered something in his ear that made him growl. Shea recognized that the couple might want some time alone.
“Why don’t you two go outside or home for a little while,” Shea offered, and the two looked at her. Nico was so excited at the prospect that he immediately stood up and pulled Indigo with him.
“Wait.” Indigo didn’t move with her mate toward the door. She turned to Shea. “Are you sure? We don’t want to leave you by yourself.” Shea smiled at her.
“I’ll be fine, and Celeste is here. All the kids are sleeping, and if I need anything, I’ll just stick my head out the back door and yell.” Shea smiled at the little joke.
“Okay. Thanks, Shea! We owe you!” Nico said as he left while almost dragging Indigo. Shea continued to sit there and relax. Unaware of just how tired she was, she fell asleep.
Shea opened her eyes and looked around. It took her a moment to realize that she was still in the clan house. She realized she must have fallen asleep, though she didn’t know for how long. She got up from the chair, walked over to Jonah, and saw that he was still sleeping peacefully. It was still dark outside, and no one had woken her, so she figured she couldn’t have slept for that long.
Then she heard a noise outside on the back porch. She listened as she walked closer to the door. When she heard growling, she decided to go for the light switch and hope that she didn’t catch Indigo and Nico or anyone else going at it. There were some things she really didn’t need to see.
Shea flipped the switch for the outside lights and opened the door, stepping out onto the porch. A fierce roar had her waddling quickly to the side of the house it came from. Shea stopped in her tracks and watched the scene unfold before her.
A large polar bear was facing off with a lioness. A smaller polar bear cub was curled into the fetal position near the bottom of the porch steps. The adult polar bear was showing his teeth and threatening the lioness. He looked deranged, and Shea got scared. She wasn’t sure who the lioness was, but as she looked closer at the cub, she realized it was Hudson. She crept closer to the stairs and her son, determined to get him to safety.
A board creaked under her, and the adult polar bear swung his head to look at her. He roared loudly, and the lioness growled back at him. The bear stepped forward, but only made one step before the lioness swiped his side with her claws extended. The bear roared in pain and turned back to the lioness. She was grateful to whoever it was for distracting the bear.
Shea made her way down to steps and nudged Hudson. The two animals were swiping and dodging each other.
“Hudson.” Shea hissed at the boy. He lifted his little bear head and looked into her eyes. She could see how scared he was and felt bad for being harsh with him. “Get up and go inside, Hudson. Now!” Hudson hurried to obey, and she shut him in the house before grabbing a baseball bat that happened to be left on the porch. She couldn’t exactly leave the lioness out there with the deranged bear. But she wasn’t stupid, either, and there was a house full of cubs and kits behind her, and she might need help. So, Shea took a deep breath and yelled as loud as she could up into the night air. If there were any shifters nearby, they would have heard her, so she went to see about the polar bear.
When Shea rounded the corner this time, the polar bear was crowding the lioness against the side of the porch. He was cornering her, and there was blood everywhere. The polar bear’s coat had blood on it, but it looked like he had got
ten in some deep cuts, because the lioness was bleeding heavily, and Shea was pretty sure the lioness was weaker than she was letting on.
As the polar bear pushed the lioness into the porch wall, he took another big swipe. Shea heard the lioness whimper, and Shea couldn’t stop herself from intervening. She walked down the steps and was behind the bear, who still hadn’t noticed her. The lioness was wobbling and barely staying on her feet. Shea did the only thing she could think of. She held up the bat and hit the bear’s back as hard as she could.
The bear turned to her and roared. He didn’t seem to be hurt, but at least his attention was on her now. She was realistic, and didn’t like her odds against an adult polar bear shifter, especially a crazy one, but she couldn’t watch him kill the lioness who had protected her son and a house full of cubs.
Shea moved backward, gripping the bat for dear life. The bear stalked toward her, hunting her. Her back hit a tree, and Shea’s fear went sky high. He had her cornered, and he was going to kill her. Logan, Hudson, Sasha, and this baby were going to have to live without her. She hated the idea, but hoped with everything in her that her baby would be okay.
Suddenly, just as the bear was about to swipe at her, the lioness was on his back. He thrashed to get her off, and she was losing her grip. Shea held up the bat again and hit the bear any chance that she had. Together, she and the lioness started weakening him. Shea turned as she heard a growl come from near the house. A very pissed off wolf stood on the porch, growling.
The bear flung the lioness off him, but before he knew it, the wolf was on him. Shea was sure that wolf was Nico, so she went to the lioness. There wasn’t much she could do for the 280-pound animal, but if she shifted, she could get the woman into the house. The lioness was breathing, so Shea considered that a good sign.
“Hey.” Shea tried to get her attention by shaking her. “Hey, you have to shift. I can’t drag you inside while you are in lion form.” When the lioness just looked at Shea, she could see that the female was ready to give up. Well, Shea wasn’t about to let that happen. She used her best mom voice on the female. “Hey, I said shift. You either shift, or walk your butt into that house right now!” It worked, and the lioness began to shift. Shea recognized her as Celeste. She knew it wasn’t Dahlia, because they were twins but had different birthmarks on their faces.
