Falling in Love with the King of Beasts

KALLE

Kalle sucked in a breath and pulled him close, leaning back as he pressed in on her, his hands sliding under her sweater. She arched her back, expecting him to remove it, but instead, his hands went to her hips, then down, his fingers on both sides sliding under the waistband of her leggings, pushing them down until his hands cupped her ass.

He pulled slightly away then, a gleam in his eye as he locked on hers.

Kalle bit her lip and leaned back, lifting her butt off the table while he took her weight, and slid her leggings off until they were clear of the table, and his hands cupped the backs of her thighs.

She let herself sit again, sucking in at the cold surface of the table under her bare buttocks, but Gahrye was looking down at her, his breath picking up, as he slowly, slowly, dragged his hands down the backs of her legs, her leggings bunching up and sliding off in front of his grip.

Kalle leaned back on her hands, half-embarrassed at the way he was baring her, half thrilled. So thrilled, that when he reached her knees and had to step back to slide the leggings all the way to her ankles, she grabbed the hem of her sweater and pulled it up and over her head.

Gahrye froze, staring at her, his hands cupping her leg as he peeled the leggings off one foot. He scanned her from her knees to her breasts, then swallowed. Then his eyes snapped up to hers and, without breaking eye-contact, he knelt on the carpet then turned his head to lay his lips at her now-bare ankle.

"You're the most beautiful female I've ever seen," he murmured against her skin, slowly kissing his way up her calf.

Kalle snorted. "I know that's not true. I've seen other Anima."

He stopped kissing her and straightened his head. "They are not you, though," he said, his voice husky, gravelling.

Then he looked back down her body and began to touch her, one hand supporting the weight of her leg behind the knee, the other sliding up and down the outside of it in long, slow strokes.

His pupils got bigger, darker, and Kalle's breathing sped up. "This is the most beautiful part of the most beautiful female. My female," he rasped, and the sheer possession, the masculine dominance in him made her skin prickle. He paused again and met her eyes. "You like it when I say that."

Damned Anima senses. They didn't give a girl any room to be coy. She swallowed. "Yes, I do, Gahrye. I told you, the dominance thing… it's hot. You're hot."

He started to smile, then opened his mouth and laid it on her calf. Watching her mate suck and kiss his way up her leg, over her knee, to her inside thigh, was the most unexpectedly erotic thing she'd ever seen. She began to tremble inside her skin, as if her bones vibrated.

Tingling desire burst to life low in her belly and as he kissed his way up. "Mine," he whispered as she reached for his head, burying her fingers in his hair, pulling him up, closer and closer.

But he would not be rushed. When he'd kissed his way up her leg, right to her hip, he opened his mouth on the crease between her thigh and torso and laid the flat of his tongue there on her skin.

When she closed her eyes to better focus on the prickling sensations he was wringing from her skin, he swung around and started on the other leg.

By the time he made it to that hip, Kalle was leaned back on her hands, her chest rising and falling, legs splayed, bare to him.

She watched him kiss his way up her body, muttering "Mine" at each stop—her navel, her waist, and the space between her breasts.

She bit her lip when he tugged aside one cup of her bra. She was about to suggest she remove it when he laid his mouth over the peak with a harsh, "Mine!" then sucked, sending a jolt through her body that had her sucking in a breath and grabbing for him.

And realizing he was still completely clothed.

"Gahrye," she gasped as his tongue made love to her nipple, promising so much more that was to come between them. "Let me take off your clothes."

He grunted and stood, his hands trailing up her sides to cup her face.

He was breathing heavily, his eyes bright with desire for her. But even with her on the table he overstood her by a foot. That deep, rolling huff of a call broke from him and something within her tugged, pulling for him as he searched her face.

"Gah, I love it when you do that," she whispered, starting on the buttons of his shirt.

"You tear it from me," he rasped. "I have never made the mating call before you, but the moment I saw you—"

She stretched up to pull him down, kissing him open mouthed and urgent, her breath hot and mingling with his.

He groaned, and she made fast work of the buttons on his shirt, grasping the belt of his leathers and tugging it free, delighting in the way his body rolled towards her when she pulled at it.

He kept his fingers in her hair, splayed at the nape of her neck, holding her there, kissing her deeply as she pulled the belt through and it slapped against his thigh. Then she started on the buttons of his leathers and he sucked in a sharp breath.

She would normally have taken her time, teasing him, stroking him, but something within her was desperate, frantic to be close to him. So as soon as she got the buttons undone and pushed his leathers down, she pulled him close and leaned back, wrapping her legs around his hips in the way she already knew he loved, so they were brought together in an electric heat.

He kissed her, his breath thundering against her cheek, his tongue seeking hers over and over, his fingers fisted in her hair as she rolled her hips to rub herself on him.

"Oh, fuck, Kalle," he groaned, still keeping her pulled up against him, one hand at the back of her head.

"Yes, please," she whispered, arching so her nipples rubbed against his chest. "I always want you, Gahrye. Always."
