Big Sexy Bear (11 page)

n the way home
, Ares explained everything to Kat, being as clear as he could. He told her what mating entailed, what it would mean for their future, and how it would work.

He could sense she was just as excited about it as he was. There was a huge burden that seemed to be lifted off of her now that Ben was gone, and Ares couldn’t be happier that there was nothing standing in his way.

It had truly been fate that had brought her to him on that rainy night.

When he’d finished explaining the bear thing, he called Maude, telling her to take Mac to her place. He told her they were safe, but he needed to spend some time alone with Kat.

Now that she knew about his bear, the rules of his world said that he had to make her his.

He let Kat stay in the car while he got things unloaded. Then he checked in with Hades, who was working with Zeus to get things sorted.

Luckily, Ben Vincent wasn’t the sort of man anyone would grieve much over.

After that, he picked Kat up in his arms and carried her inside, looking forward to the moment he could close the door and they could both be safe.

The house was quiet as he set her down in the living room.

“I’ll cook dinner. Just something quick if you want to take a shower.”

Kat had nodded, looking at him with a knowing gleam in her eye. Despite everything they’d been through, she seemed as eager to be his as he was to be hers.

He cooked something simple, a chicken stir-fry, ate a plate of it, and served one for Kat. When she came out to eat it, he made sure all doors were locked and the security system was armed and then took a shower of his own.

The entire time he was washing the evidence of the battle away from his body, he was thinking about the night ahead. He couldn’t wait to see every part of her and make sure she was fine.

When he came out of the shower, dressed and clean, she looked up from her meal and gave him a warm smile that made him feel more welcome than ever before.

Ares silently picked up her and carried her into master bedroom, loving how perfectly sized she was for him and the feel of her curves in his arms. He set her on the bed gently and came over her.

“So this whole mate claiming thing, will it feel any different than what we’ve done before?” she asked, dark-brown eyes looking up at him in anticipation.

“It will be even better than what we’ve done before,” Ares replied. He sealed his lips over hers in a deep kiss, claiming her and promising himself to her.

When her mouth opened, he went inside and stroked, feeling her body writhe gently beneath him from the pleasure of it. The harder he licked inside her mouth, the more she moved, hands gripping him as he kissed and felt her most sensitive areas.

Ares couldn’t even believe the events of the past week. Meeting this amazing woman and finding out she was his mate. Falling in love with her. Feeling like a family for the first time in his life with her and Mac. There was still so much to say and do. So many more adventures to have with them.

But for right now, he wanted to please his mate more fully than she’d ever been pleased.

Ares tore off Kat’s thin T-shirt with a swift motion, leaving her in the black bra she wore. She bit her lip in anticipation as he gazed down at her, running his hands over the soft material and the even softer skin. He reached behind her and undid the bra, pulling it off and revealing her beautiful, voluptuous breasts. 

So perfect, like everything about his mate.

He lavished her with kisses, massaging and squeezing her breasts with his hands while his tongue worked over them. Each touch, each lick turned her on more, making Ares incredibly hard. Every touch, every kiss he gave was rewarded with a soft sigh or just the lightest quiver, revealing the effect he had on her.

As he pressed his thumbs over the hardened tips of her nipples, he kissed along the soft line of Kat’s neck, savoring the sounds of her moans and the delicious way her body moved beneath him. He took in her sweet scent as he made love to her, distinct and uniquely hers. He relished the feel of her body on his hands and mouth, her breasts, her stomach, her hips, everywhere.

Ares could barely contain his bear, who roared and growled with approval inside him, urging him to claim his mate completely and seal her to him forever. 

Soon, big guy. Soon
, he thought to himself as he licked along the outer shell of her ear, making Kat shudder with arousal.

Ares went lower, pulling off her jeans and her panties without hesitation. Katrina squirmed slightly, smiling up at him with that sultry look that would never cease to turn him on. He took his own shirt off, knowing she liked how his hard body looked, and knelt between her legs.

He dipped a finger inside her, then another. She was so wet for him, so ready. He could hardly wait to complete this between them. He stroked her with his hand, watching her flush and squirm, so ready for him, so ready to come.

Ares came down over her center and licked over her clit, wanting to finish her with his mouth. As he did, she moaned with pleasure and moved her hips in time with him, and he licked her more voraciously. 

In no time at all, Ares made his mate come, and he felt her body tense and release as he came over her and held her tight to him. Nothing else in the world compared to that.

He would always protect his mate. Forever.

Once Kat’s body finally relaxed, she unzipped his jeans and undid the top button before he realized what she was doing.

Hoping to make things easier for her, Ares stepped off the bed and pulled off his jeans and boxer-briefs, loving how his mate watched him intently, then came over her on the bed and held her close, kissing lightly down the side of her neck. He could feel the warmth from her body, scent how ready she was for him.

“Ares?” Kat asked pensively.

“Yes, honey?” he replied, waiting for her response.

“I want to try something,” she said, looking a little shy but like she was hiding something.

Before Ares could respond, Kat yanked him forward and rolled the two of them over on the bed. Then she came on top of Ares, pinning him down and straddling him with surprising agility. 

“I want to try this,” she smiled down at him, her eyes and hands roving over him unabashedly and looking hungry for more.

Ares didn’t resist, just loved the fight and spunk his mate demonstrated when it came to getting what she wanted. He could see the fire burning in her eyes, her desire for him. As much as he enjoyed being dominant with her, Ares was curious to see how things played out with Kat at the helm for a bit. Wanted to let his mate feel free to live out her own fantasies while he pleasured her wholly.

That didn’t mean he wouldn’t make her come over and over, but he’d let her take what she wanted, how she wanted it.

For now at least.

K
atrina wanted
to be the one on top this time, wanted to feel Ares’s hard, powerful body beneath her while she took the pleasure only he could give.

Somehow, in the past week she had known Ares, she’d come to learn more about herself sexually than years of living on her own had ever taught her. How good it could feel, how amazing and supernally wonderful it was when you were with someone as wholly committed and loving and attentive as Ares was. 

She could feel his hard tip below her, could feel how aroused he was. She raised her hips, positioning over him, then slowly slid down until their hips met.

The sensation was ecstasy, beyond description. Ares was so thick, so hard, Kat couldn’t even think, let alone try to focus on anything but the overwhelming pleasure of having him inside her like this. Every inch of his length filled her and stretched her, making her entire body feel like it was on fire and giving her an insatiable thirst only he could quench. 

Ares just looked up at her with that cocky gaze, like there was something he knew that she didn’t. But she didn’t care. Whatever he was planning, she knew she would like it. 

For a moment, she just let her hands roam over his body while he held her in his arms. It felt empowering to be so close to the one she loved, so magical. She felt along the ridge of his pecs, huge and sculpted, then down his abs, each one perfectly defined. 

When her body finally calmed from the initial sensation of having him inside, she began to move. Slowly, she lifted herself and then pressed back down into him, the sensation something like lightning coursing through her veins. Her mind exploded from the sheer pleasure of it, demanding she go fast and hard. But she wanted to enjoy the moment, savor the sensation of his size and strength inside her. 

Katrina moved into a slow rhythm over her lover. She could sense Ares watching her, could feel his hands roving over her body and squeezing her breasts, but the pleasure from having him inside overcame everything. She closed her eyes and felt the pressure building in her as she thrust her hips.

Before Kat knew what was happening, she felt Ares’s finger run against her clit once, then twice as she moved and felt everything go white hot inside. She came with incredible force, feeling her entire body rock as she gripped Ares’s hard pecs beneath her, panting as the pressure from her orgasm released, pounding pleasure through her. Even as it slowly ebbed, the feel of Ares, rock hard and still inside her, tripped off several small aftershocks of ecstasy that she felt everywhere.

“Not fair. That’s cheating,” Kat said, trying to speak between gasps of breath. Her entire body was sensitive to even the slightest touch from all the foreplay and buildup. She felt she could go with just one more stroke.

“I’m sorry. If you’re going to be my mate, you’re going to have to get used to coming lots and lots,” he said with a wry grin, flashing his perfect white teeth.

Kat wanted to say something back, but the thought of having lots of orgasms wasn’t a bad one at all, so she kept her mouth shut, and zeroed in on moving again.

This time, Ares stroked with her, pushing his hips up and thrusting into her while she pressed down into him. The friction from him moving with her felt doubly good, the heat and hardness of his cock pressing into her, filling her with so much pleasure and excitement she felt she would burst.

It wasn’t long before she felt herself come agonizingly close to the edge again. She held her breath, trying to hold off, but Ares firmly grabbed her hips and pushed into her all the way, rubbing right across the most sensitive spot inside her, and Kat felt herself careen out of control again. She screamed Ares’s name to the empty room as he held her tightly, watching with pleasure as she rode out the incredible orgasm that pleasured and exhausted her all at the same time.

“I don’t know… how many more… I can take, you incorrigible man,” she said, panting. So long as he was inside, she felt like she would never stop coming. But the more she went, the more sensitive her body became, making it harder to hold off. And this man was entirely overwhelming, among many many other things.

But above everything else, she wanted to feel him come inside her again like he had last time. Wanted to feel what it was like without protection, wanted to see his eyes roll back and feel his muscles bulge as they went together.

“Good,” Ares said. With one smooth motion, he held her with one hand behind her back and whirled around on the bed, putting her under him. “Because I’ve been thinking about this moment since the first time I met you,” he added, pinning her with a fierce, possessive gaze, his green eyes glowing with lust for her.

The dominant side of this man turned her on every bit as much as his more gentle, kind side did. She felt so lucky that Ares could be as protective and in control as he could be friendly and fun. Kat looked forward to experiencing it all with him in the coming years.

But for now, he looked ready to eat her up.

“Mine. My mate,” Ares growled as he kissed hard at the base of her shoulder while he held her with one hand and propped himself above her with the other. Each kiss was lustful, possessive, owning. She felt like she belonged wholly to him, and he was hers completely as well. Together.

When he started to move into her, Kat felt her entire body respond instantly. At this angle, the pressure of having him inside was even better than before, and she felt surrounded by him on every side, muscles everywhere around her and his hardness deep within. 

He didn’t go slow, but instead moved voraciously and powerfully, sliding into her with long thrusts that felt so good she had to bite on her lip to hold back the quickly building orgasm. Every nerve was a live wire, every part of her body screaming with pleasure that was so good it bordered on agony. 

Above her, she could see Ares’s body beginning to tense more as well, his thick muscles along his arms and shoulders bulging with effort. The sight alone of her man moving like this could make her go if she let it, but Kat held on, trying to wait for one more moment so they could go together.

“Mine forever,” Ares declared. 

“Yours. Forever,” Kat said back, each delicious thrust getting her closer and closer to the brink. So close now. 

Ares came down and closed their lips together in one final kiss before bringing his finger over her clit and stroking once. Kat felt her entire body freeze at the very precipice of everything, when Ares thrust in completely, his entire length stimulating her.

All at once, everything came apart as her entire body was overcome with the strongest orgasm she’d ever had, even stronger than she would have thought imaginable. At the same time, she felt Ares jerk inside of her, becoming harder than ever and pushing all the way to the hilt as he spilled his seed into her, filling her with incredible warmth. 

Over and over, Kat felt her body shake with release as every nerve, every vein, every inch of skin burned with intense heat that consumed her completely. She saw stars at the backs of her eyes as she screamed Ares’s name, and he uttered Kat’s while he came inside of her, the two of them together.

There was nothing else like this in the entire world.

After what felt like a lifetime of pleasure wrapped up into one, long release, Katrina’s body finally relaxed, overwhelmed with pleasant satisfaction and a gentle, buzzing sensation that made her giddy for the next time they could do this. Ares didn’t come out immediately, but instead, held her close as she wrapped her arms around him, her hands playing along his thick shoulders and back muscles.
