These Broken Wings

“Sorry! I was starvin’,” RickyJo gushed as she hurried into her mate’s arms and hugged him tightly around the waist. Dixon hugged her back, leaning down into her hair and breathing in her scent. He knew it was irrational. RickyJo was only in the kitchen. She didn’t even leave the house. And she had every right to get herself something to eat if she was hungry. But when he woke up alone with no idea where she was, Dixon immediately went into full on panic mode. And Shadow was even worse, growling and instantly ready to tear the house apart looking for her. It took Dixon a moment to even remember that he could link her and he would know instantly where she was.

“Wake me up and tell me where you’re going next time?,” he requested. RickyJo nodded. He was sleeping so peacefully. That’s why she didn’t wake him. But thinking about it now, she knew if the situation was reversed that she would have been frightened to suddenly wake up alone with no explanation. Having a mate was going to take a little adjustment. They were both used to only having themselves to worry about.

“I can do that,” she promised.

Dixon tilted her chin up, capturing her mouth with his and then laughing because she tasted like orange juice. He lifted his hand, pressing his wrist against her forehead. She still felt a little warm. But nothing like the intense burning heat she felt the day before.

“How are you feeling honey?,” he asked. Not only was Dixon worried about the possible discomfort of being in heat. But he was also worried her insides might be sore. She took quite an intense pounding from him. Three times in a row. That had to be an intense way for her to lose her virginity.

“How am I feelin’?,” she repeated, pondering the question. RickyJo flashed him a wicked little grin. Then she snaked her hand between them, grabbing his d**k through his sweatpants. “I’m feelin’ like I wanna go back to bed with you and pound it out before I start burnin’ up again.”

Dixon pulled her close, laughing as he covered her face with kisses. Just when he thought his mate couldn’t get any more perfect, she had to go and demand that he take her to bed.

RickyJo leaped up into his arms, wrapping her long legs around his waist. He wrapped his arms under her, supporting some of her weight as he walked her into the bedroom. She was muscular for a woman and heavier than she looked. He loved the solid feeling of her body in his arms. She was strong. He reminded himself that he didn’t need to be as gentle with her as he felt like he ought to be.

When they got to the bed, RickyJo released her legs from around him and swung back down onto her feet. She was quick to undress, pulling his t-shirt off and pushing his boxers down over the curve of her hips. Once she was completely naked she crawled up onto the bed and relaxed back into the pillows. Her mate was right behind her, settling himself down between her thighs. Her soft warm skin felt so good against his. And he could feel the tingles of their mate bond in almost every part of his body. Her hand rubbed up his back, lingering over the fresh mark on his neck.

“It looks the same as mine,” she observed, lifting her head off the pillow to peer at his neck. “...the moon and stars.” Dixon was kissing along the line of her collarbone. He stopped and gave her a questioning look. RickyJo tilted her head, relieving her mark. Even in the dim lighting of the bedroom, Dixon could see it looked different from the mark he left on his first mate. The permanent impressions of his teeth were there. But RickyJo’s mark had a shiny iridescent quality to it. And when he looked closer, Dixon could see what she described. The crescent moon and stars reflecting back at him. He’d never seen anything like it before.

Our mate is perfect.

Dixon smiled. For once, he agreed with his wolf. Though he still wasn’t sure if he was happy about how rough the beast was with their mate earlier. It did seem to help break her heat so she could get to sleep. But Dixon still didn’t like it.

You’re just mad because she likes me better.

RickyJo giggled, reminding Dixon that their link was still open and she heard the little exchange between him and his wolf. The moment his skin made contact with hers, he found it nearly impossible to shut down the link between them. Not that he wanted to. He enjoyed feeling everything she was feeling. Especially when she was aroused.

“I’ve got an idea,” Dixon said. He didn’t speak the words out loud. He let them bounce from his mind to hers instead. She stared up at him, linking him back to ask what he had in mind. “Close your eyes and picture everything you want me to do to you,” he suggested.

We can do that.

Dixon had to close his own eyes for a moment, as every one of Jade’s perverted fantasies hit him in rapid succession. A low growl bubbled out of his throat.

“Slow down,” he suggested. He could feel it when RickyJo pushed Jade back, taking control. Then she imagined him kissing her. She caught his face between her hands, moaning softly when he kissed her in the exact way she wanted. With lots of tongue and his body pressing against hers. She wanted her neck kissed and licked next, which he did, sucking on her tender flesh until he marked her up with tiny purple hickeys.

As she was becoming more and more aroused, her mental images were becoming fuzzier around the edges and less purposeful. And Dixon hadn’t failed to notice that in his mate’s imagination, he had both his hands. He smiled as he buried his face into her full breasts. She arched her back when he brushed his lips across her tight pink n****e. He flicked his tongue back and forth across it, teasing her other n****e with his fingers until he felt the insides of her thighs starting to quiver. Her skin was heating up again. And the images she was sending though were tinted with the growing intensity of her heat. I want to feel you come. Deep inside me. Please, I need you I love you I want you…

Dixon groaned into RickyJo’s neck at the sound of her and Jade’s voices mixing together in his mind. He ran his teeth over the fresh mark on her neck as he pushed his hard length inside her. Then he did what she was begging him to do and took her roughly until he came, coating her insides with his seed as her walls convulsed around him.

Dixon collapsed on top of her for just a moment before he rolled off and tucked her into his side. RickyJo kissed him once on the neck. Then she rested her head on his chest and promptly fell right back to sleep. He held her close, loving the feeling of her naked body against his. Sleep didn’t come as quickly for him. He stayed awake listening to the sound of her soft even breaths and thinking about all the beautiful possibilities the future held now that she was his.
