Chapter 9

 

Reese sighed and stared out the entrance of the cave. The rain poured steadily down. As she listened to the thunder and watched the lightning flash across the sky in bright sheets of light, she finally understood what Adina had been talking about. She doubted that even the shifters would have survived the torrential rains.

She had woken this morning to find herself alone in the nest of pelts. Kane had shifted back to his wolf form and was sitting near the edge of the cave. She had given him a nervous hello and he had barked softly in reply but had not shifted to his human form. She had helped herself to some of the dried meat and drank some more water while Kane had stared silently out the cave entrance. That had been hours ago and she was about ready to throw herself off the ledge of the cave from sheer boredom. She had asked Kane to shift but he had chuffed softly in disagreement before closing his eyes and dozing.

It was cold in the cave and she had tried unsuccessfully to start the fire before giving up in disgust. She had paced back and forth, waving her arms and stomping her feet but even that had done little to warm her. Finally, she had crawled back into the nest of pelts and piled them high until she could no longer feel the chill of the cave or see the sleeping body of Kane.

Now, she stared up at the ceiling of the cave and sighed restlessly. If she had to go the next two weeks like this, she would go mad. If Kane didn’t start to be better company she would risk the rains and try and find the other shelter.

Don’t be daft, girl. You’ll die trying to get down from this hole in the mountain.

Completely true but she had always been a social and chatty person. Kane completely ignoring her was driving her crazy. She was more bothered by his silence than she wanted to admit. She didn’t think she could take two weeks of it.

Be honest. You’re not just a little bit hurt that he’s already lost interest in having sex with you? Is it his lack of talking or his lack of fucking that’s bothering you?

She tamped the voice down grimly and twisted under the pelts. What did she care if Kane didn’t want to fuck her again? He had told her before that she was an experiment. He wanted to fuck a human, he did, and that was that. What did she think would happen? Her chubby body and totally awkward approach to sex would be a turn on for him? She sighed and twisted to her other side. She had slept with exactly three men before the shifter and only one of them had made her come. Hell, Kane was only the second guy she had given a blowjob to and while he had seemed to enjoy it at the time, his lack of interest now was a surprisingly hard blow to her ego.

He said you were good at it, remember?

She snorted in disgust. She might not have much experience but she was fairly certain that most men would say anything to keep a woman sucking their dick, regardless of how talented she was at it. She blew her breath out angrily, wishing for the first time that she had more experience with seducing the opposite sex.

She sat up abruptly and stared across the cave at Kane. He was still in his wolf form and sleeping deeply. His long tail was curled around his body and his large head was resting on his front paws. She thought back to how it had felt when he had touched her clit. The roughness and surety of his fingers had sent her rocketing into a near-instant climax and she had been shocked by it. It normally took her forever to climax even with her own hand, but there was something about the large shifter that kept her seemingly on the edge of arousal all the time.

Her pulse sped up and her core began to ache with a sweet, maddening throb as she relived the way he had pushed her to her knees and guided her mouth to his cock. Her reaction to Kane’s caveman behaviour was a complete mystery to her.

Still, she couldn’t deny that she did like it. Her nipples hardened beneath the pelt as she remembered the way Kane had knelt behind her and the way her pussy had so eagerly accepted his thick, hard shaft. Her breathing was growing shallow and the ache between her thighs grew until she considered finding her own relief from it. The shifter was sleeping, he wouldn’t –

She swallowed nervously when Kane lifted his head and inhaled deeply before looking at her. His eyes gleamed in the dim light and he stood and stretched before shifting to his human form. Without speaking, he crossed the cave and climbed under the pelts beside her.

His hand cupped her breast through the pelt that was wrapped around her and he made a snort of displeasure before pushing the pelt roughly to her waist. He reached for her naked breast and she pushed his hand away nervously.

“What are you doing?”

“You want me,” he replied. He dipped his head and sucked on her neck, increasing the pressure until there was a dark, red mark on her neck.

“Stop that,” she whispered. “I – I don’t want you.”

He laughed. “This again, human? Stop lying to yourself. I can smell your need. It fills the entire cave.”

She blushed as his hand cupped her breast and squeezed roughly. “Lie back, human.”

“Kane, I – “

“Lie back.” He pushed her onto her back and yanked the pelt from her body. He tossed it to the side before pushing the pelts on top of her down to her knees. He studied her naked body and she cleared her throat loudly.

“I’m not having sex with you, Kane.”

“Why not?”

“You’ve spent the entire day ignoring me, and I’m not going to just spread my legs and let you fuck me because you think you can smell my – my desire for you. It’s not for you. I was thinking of someone else,” she said firmly.

He grinned at her. “You’re funny, human.”

He pinched her nipple and his grin widened at her soft gasp before he took her hand and guided it to his semi-erect cock.

“Rub it,” he demanded.

She glared at him even as her fingers were tightening around him. He groaned his approval when she stroked him hard and he bent his head to kiss her. He probed at her warm mouth with his tongue until she was moaning softly.

“Tell me you want to mate with me, human.” He rubbed his thumb across her bottom lip.

“I want to mate with you,” she whispered.

She was hypnotized by the look of dark need in his eyes and when his hand dropped to her pussy, she widened her legs immediately. He stroked her clit for a few minutes before dipping one finger into her, gauging her wetness and her need.

“Do you want me to fuck you?” He whispered before sucking on her neck again.

She nodded, her hand tightening around his cock, as he trailed kisses down to her breasts. He sucked on one hard nipple and her back arched helplessly.

“Say it, human.” He gave her a wolfish grin.

“I – I want you to fuck me,” she moaned.

“Good girl,” he murmured.

He laid on his back and urged her to climb on top of him. She hesitated. It might be dim in the cave but she had a feeling his eyesight was much better than hers, even in his human form. He would easily see all of her wobbly parts and the stretch marks on her belly.

“No, Kane. I want you on top of me,” she protested weakly as he gripped her by her arms and moved her until she was straddling his pelvis.

He shook his head. “Not this time, human.”

He reached up and cupped both of her heavy breasts, lifting and kneading them roughly until she was rocking her pelvis against him in response. He rubbed her nipples and she moaned loudly, the sound echoing in the cave.

“Do you like that?” He rubbed her nipples again and she nodded frantically, arching her back so that more of her breasts filled his hands.

“I like how easily I can turn you on,” he said candidly as he stroked and rubbed her breasts. “I’ve never mated with someone as responsive as you. Are you like this with every male you mate with?”

She could feel a blush rising in her cheeks and she looked away in embarrassment. His hard fingers gripped her chin and forced her to look at him. “Are you, human?”

She shook her head. “No.” She hesitated and then said, “I don’t normally come when I’m um, mating, with someone.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t know. Just nervous I guess and the other males – men – I’ve slept with said I need more time to uh, warm up.”

He frowned at her in confusion. “Warm up?”

“You know, get ready for sex, um, mating.” She blushed again.

“Did they not sweet talk you?” He raised his eyebrow at her and she was helpless to stop the giggles from escaping.

“Yes, they sweet talked me.”

He sat up abruptly and curved one large arm around her ample waist. He lifted her easily and she squealed with surprise when he impaled her on his large cock. He released her waist and she sunk down onto his cock fully, gravity doing all of the work as she stared wide-eyed at him.

As she stretched around his thick length, he cupped her face and stared at her. “You have very pretty eyes, human. I have never seen eyes this colour before. I like them.”

“Thank you,” she whispered distractedly. Her pussy was still adjusting to Kane’s cock and she wiggled a bit, making him inhale sharply.

“You’re pretty,” he said abruptly. “Your skin is soft and your hair smells good.”

She blinked at him as he stroked her belly before looking down to where their bodies were connected. She wanted him to move and she rocked against him in an inviting way but he continued to talk. “Your breasts are nice and heavy and I like how big your nipples get when I suck on them. Your pussy is very tight. I like the way it clings to me.”

“Kane, what – what are you doing?” She asked.

He stared at her. “I’m sweet talking you.”

She gaped at him in surprise and then giggled loudly. Her entire body shook and he groaned when she inadvertently tightened around him. He cocked his head at her. “What’s so funny, human? Did you not say a human female likes to be sweet talked?”

“I – yes,” she snickered. “But the sweet talking usually happens before you put your dick in her.”

“Oh.”

He leaned back on his elbows and grinned at her. “Enough sweet talking. Go on, human. Fuck me.”

“What?” She stared nervously at him.

He arched his eyebrow at her again. “Fuck me.”

She licked her lips and feeling awkward and unsure, raised herself up and down slightly. His breath hissed out between his teeth and he made a low growling noise.

“Do you – does that feel good?” She asked shyly.

He nodded. “Keep going.”

She rose up and down on his cock, keeping her movements slow and easy. She had always balked at being on top with other men, always worried about her weight and about how much she jiggled. When Kane’s eyes dropped to her breasts, she crossed her arms over them nervously.

He frowned and pulled her arms away before reclining on his elbows again. “Don’t cover your breasts, human. I want to see them.”

“All right.” She moved slowly again, bracing herself on her knees, and watched as Kane’s eyes began to lighten.

“Harder,” he suddenly demanded.

“I – I don’t want to hurt you,” she muttered.

He snorted with amusement. “You’re not going to break it, human.”

“I’m too heavy.” She gave him a look of embarrassment and he rolled his eyes.

“No, you’re not,” he replied impatiently. He reached out and lazily tweaked one hard nipple. She gasped and jerked against him and he grinned at her.

“Fuck me,” he said again.

She bit her bottom lip and braced her hands against his chest before rocking against his cock. He groaned his approval and she stared into his eyes as she moved harder and faster.

“Good girl,” he whispered. He moved his hand to her clit and rubbed it firmly. She made a soft squeak of surprise and jerked against him. He groaned with need, and circled and pressed against her clit. The pleasure was flowing through her now and she lost the last of her self-consciousness. Arching her back and moaning loudly, she rode him hard, bouncing on his cock enthusiastically as her pulse pounded in her ears.

Kane was staring at her jiggling breasts but instead of feeling self-conscious another strong thread of pleasure flooded through her. She cupped her breasts and pulled on her nipples. She smiled when his eyes turned green and glowed brightly.

“I like that, human. Do it again,” he demanded.

“Reese,” she whispered.

He paused and then said, “Reese.”

Hearing her name in his low and husky voice sent tingles of pleasure down her spine, and she cupped her breasts again and pinched her nipples lightly. She gasped and his nostrils flared before he sat up, pushed her hands away roughly and took one nipple into his mouth. He sucked at it eagerly and she threaded her fingers through his hair and gripped him firmly before staring up at the ceiling of the cave.

As she rocked and thrust against him, he planted rough nips and bites on her chest and neck. She gasped sharply at a particularly hard one and he gave her a worried look.

“I’m sorry, human. Have I hurt you?”

She shook her head. “No.”

He dipped his head to place a gentle kiss on her collarbone. She moaned and he gathered her closer to him until her breasts were pressed against his chest, and thrust roughly into her. She cried out with pleasure and clung to him as he plunged in and out of her.

When he slipped his hand between their bodies and pinched her clit, her entire body stiffened and she shrieked his name as she came wildly around his cock. He groaned loudly and arched into her. His cock swelled as she tightened around him before he climaxed deep inside of her.

She collapsed against him, panting loudly. He rolled her onto her side before covering her with the pelts. He started to ease out from under them and she grabbed his arm.

“Please don’t shift, Kane,” she whispered. “Stay here with me.”

He nodded and relaxed beside her. She curled her body into his and he stroked her back lightly as she rested her head on his chest.
