Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Kai Make Me Yours

The possessive words should have bothered her. Instead they made heat spike through her so intensely she came on the spot, her inner walls clamping down around him like a vice.

Kai followed with a roar, and they collapsed together in a sweaty, satisfied heap.

But the relief only lasted minutes before the need built again.

At some point....Maya lost track of when. Kai made her eat and drink water.

"You need fuel," he insisted, feeding her pieces of fruit and bread. "Heat burns insane calories. If you don’t eat, you’ll pass out."

Maya ate mechanically, not really tasting anything, just desperate to get back to the main event.

When she’d finished, Kai pulled her into his lap, his cock already hard again and pressing against her entrance.

"Ride me," he said. "Take what you need. Set the pace."

Maya sank down onto him with a groan of relief. From this angle he was so deep she could feel him in her throat.

She started moving....rolling her hips, finding a rhythm that felt good. Kai’s hands settled on her waist, guiding but not controlling.

"That’s it," he encouraged. "Use me. Take your pleasure."

Maya’s pace increased, chasing the building pressure. When Kai’s hand slid between them to circle her clit, she came with a scream that left her throat raw.

"Again," Kai ordered, his fingers never stopping their relentless circles. "Come again."

"Can’t....too much...."

"You can. One more time."

He thrust up hard, hitting that spot inside her that made her see stars, and Maya shattered completely.

This orgasm was different....deeper, more devastating. It rolled through her in waves that seemed endless, and when it finally faded she collapsed against Kai’s chest completely boneless.

"Good girl," Kai murmured, his hand stroking her hair. "You’re doing so well."

"How long has it been?" Maya’s voice was hoarse.

"About twelve hours since your heat started."

"Twelve hours?" It felt like days. "How am I still alive?"

Kai laughed softly. "Wolf stamina. You’re built for this. Built to take a mate through multiple rounds without breaking."

"I feel broken," Maya mumbled against his chest.

"You’re perfect. But you do need rest." He carefully lifted her off him and laid her down on the bed. "Sleep for a bit. I’ll wake you when your body needs me again."

Maya wanted to protest that she couldn’t possibly sleep, but exhaustion pulled at her. Within seconds, she was out.

***

She woke to Kai’s mouth between her legs.

His tongue was working her clit with devastating precision, two fingers pumping inside her, and Maya came awake with a gasp that turned into a moan.

"Kai...."

"Shh. Your heat spiked again while you were sleeping. Your body was practically begging for stimulation." He added a third finger, stretching her. "Let me take care of you."

He brought her to orgasm with his mouth and fingers, then immediately flipped her over and entered her from behind.

This time was rougher. More desperate. Kai’s control was slipping, his wolf rising to the surface.

He pounded into her with bruising force, each thrust driving her forward on the bed. His hands gripped her hips hard enough to leave marks.

"Mine," Kai growled, and his voice had gone deeper.....more wolf than human. "Mine to claim. Mine to fill."

"Yours," Maya gasped. "Kai, I’m yours...."

He reached around and found her clit, circling it roughly, and Maya came so hard her vision actually whited out.

Kai roared and followed her over, biting down on her shoulder....not hard enough to break skin, but hard enough to mark.

They collapsed together, both shaking.

"Sorry," Kai panted. "My wolf....he’s possessive. I didn’t mean to bite...."

"Do it again," Maya said.

Kai pulled back to look at her. "What?"

"Bite me again. Mark me. I want...." Maya couldn’t articulate why, but her wolf was screaming for it. Needed it. "Please."

Understanding dawned in Kai’s eyes. "You want to be claimed. Properly claimed."

"Yes."

"Maya, that’s permanent. A claiming bite leaves a scar. Everyone will know you’re mine."

"Good." Maya turned to look at him. "I want everyone to know. Want you to know. Claim me, Kai. Make me yours."

Kai’s eyes flared gold. "You’re sure?"

"Completely sure."

He pulled her close and positioned her so her neck was exposed. "This will hurt."

"I don’t care."

Kai’s teeth sank into the curve of her neck, deep enough to break skin, deep enough to scar. The pain was sharp and intense, but underneath it was something else. Something that felt like completion.

Maya felt the bond snap into place, not a mate bond like Eve had with her Alphas, but something similar. A chosen bond. A claiming that connected them on a level beyond just physical.

When Kai released her neck, blood was trickling down her shoulder. He licked the wound carefully, his saliva helping it heal.

"Mine," he said again, but this time it wasn’t possessive. It was reverent. "My chosen mate."

"Yours," Maya agreed, and felt absolutely certain about it.

The rest of the heat passed in a blur of sex and sleep and more sex.

Kai was insatiable and patient in equal measure. He learned every response of her body, found every sensitive spot, brought her to climax so many times she lost count.

And between the desperate coupling, he took care of her. Made sure she ate and stayed hydrated. Held her when the hormone crash made her weepy. Whispered reassurances when she worried she was too demanding.

"You’re perfect," Kai said on the third day, when the heat was finally beginning to fade. "Absolutely perfect. Never apologize for needing me."

Maya lay exhausted in his arms, thoroughly satisfied and sporting a fresh claiming mark on her neck. "That was the most intense three days of my life."

"First heats usually are. It gets more manageable after this."

"Will you help me through the next one too?"

Kai pulled her closer, his hand tracing the claiming mark he’d left. "Every one. For as long as you want me."

"I want you," Maya said simply. "Not just for heat. For everything." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Good. Because you’re stuck with me now." He kissed her forehead. "Sleep. You’ve earned it."

Maya drifted off feeling safe and cherished and absolutely certain she’d made the right choice.
