Chapter 35. Trauma Bonding.
Erza gave him a small, seductive smile that teased the corners of her mouth as she slowly, step by step made her way towards him. Today was the day. She was going to claim what was hers. Her boyfriend. Her partner. Her heart. She reached down and grabbed the hem of her shirt before pulling it over her head and tossed it aside.
He sucked in his breath as he watched her remove her shirt. The hunger inside him was all consuming as Gavin's eyes roamed over her body. This was the girl he longed for. This was his partner. Strong, powerful, beautiful as hell. She had the perfect figure. His mouth went dry as his eyes roamed her body, her hands slid behind her back to unclasp her bra, and she pulled it off with deliberate slowness.
Gavin let out a whimper, barely heard by Erza as she grinned. That's right baby, you are all mine now. She let her bra drop to the ground as she climbed onto the bed. She was bold, confident. She leaned over Gavin and gently captured his lips with hers. "I'm gonna rock your world, wolf boy." She teased him as she bit his bottom lip.
She felt him shudder beneath him as she straddled his hips. She threw her hair over one shoulder as she leaned down to pull the tattered remains of his shirt over his head. His breathing was ragged and eyes dark as he lifted his arms up and let her pull his shirt off. "Like what you see, Gavin?" She purred against his ear as she placed soft exploring kisses along his cheek, down his neck and against his ear.
Gavin swallowed hard, his brain short circuiting as it took him a moment longer to process her words. God's, she feels so good. Wait, she just asked me something, didn't she? Gavin's thoughts were a jumped mess of random emotions as she grinded her hips against him and teased his neck. Her soft lips sent fire through his blood everywhere she kissed.
"Do you want me to stop?" Erza asked quietly as she cupped his face in her hands and forced him to look at her.
"Oh, gods no, don't stop." His reply came quick, too quick and it made her smile as she grabbed his hands and placed them on her bare breasts, their size more than enough to fill his palms.
"You can touch me too, you know." She encouraged him as she felt his rough hands against her skin. Her nipples hardened into taut peaks under his palms as he slowly and hesitantly cupped her large breasts.
"So soft." He whispered in awe as he looked at her. His vision kept fading between normal and the Soul Sense. One moment she would appear normal, beautiful, naked in his vision. The next she would be glowing in hues of red and brown energy, her soul on full display to his gaze.
"All for you baby." Her words came out as a guarded moan as he gently pinched and pulled against her nipples. She arched her back and pushed her chest against his hands. "I am all yours Gavin."
He growled as he leaned forward and kissed her, softly, sweetly at first. She ran her fingers through his hair and rolled her hips against him and let out an excited squeak as she felt him hard beneath her. She kissed him back and pushed her tongue past his lips to swipe against him. He let out a hungry growl that sent shivers up her spine as his grip on her breasts grew firmer, more confident as she encouraged him.
Gavin's head spun. He couldn't think, didn't have time to process what was happening as his hands cupped and fondled the holy grail of chests. This was his Erza, his girl, and his mate. The wolf inside him growled low appreciatively as Gavin moved his lips to her neck. He kissed and nibbled her neck as she cupped his head to her. "That's it baby, explore me. We have all day." She purred him on as her skin burned from his lips and hand.
The pleasure was building inside her along with the desire. She placed her palm against his chest and pushed him back onto the bed. He looked up at her curiously, his eyes dazed and hungry with desire. She said nothing as she smirked, and leaned forward, her red hair fell like curtains around them. It blocked everything but this moment between them.
Gavin held his breath. For a moment he couldn't breathe as he looked into the most beautiful amber eyes. She cupped his cheek as she stared down at him and smiled warmly. "Cat got your tongue handsome?" Erza purred softly as she slid her hand down his chest, her nails raked along his chest and down his stomach.
Gavin stared up at her lost in love and desire he felt towards her as she undid his pants. His belt came undone, button unsnapped, and zipper tugged agonizingly slowly down. The sound louder than a jet engine in the confined tent. His eyes remained locked on hers while her fingers slid inside his boxers to find her prize.
His body jerked when her soft fingers wrapped around his swollen cock and began to stroke him. "Oh my god." His breathless moan caused her to double down on her efforts as she stroked and teased him.
She leaned down to kiss him. First his mouth, then his throat, his chest. Slowly she kissed her way south to his navel. Her gaze never left him as she pulled his pants down and exposed his erection. "You're going to enjoy this baby." Her words were a sultry whisper as she gently began to tongue and taste him.
His eyes fluttered close as he lost himself to the pleasure, she gifted him. She slowly pumped her hand up and down as she teased and licked. First the tip. She swirled her tongue around the tip, making sure to taste and savor the precum as she slid her lips over his shaft and took him into her mouth. When she did that, he saw stars.
Erza's mouth was warm, soft and wet as she bobbed her head up and down. She growled softly at the salty yet sweet taste and licked every inch of his hard erection. "You taste so good." She purred as she pulled back, a trail of saliva connected her lips to his cock.
He looked down at her and blushed shyly as she went back to tonguing him. "I can't believe this is actually happening." His whispered words made her chuckle as he placed his hands in her hair while she bobbed up and down.
She started to hum as she took him all the way in. She gagged slightly as her nose brushed against his pelvis. The vibrations of her humming sent shivers down his spine as he bucked his hips in reflex from pleasure. His breathing became ragged as he was pushed near the edge. His hips slowly bucked up into her mouth as she let him take control of their play.
Erza moaned.
She had never let a guy take control before. She always preferred to be the one in control, setting the pace, the actions. But the way Gavin's hand trembled in her hair as he thrust up into her mouth made her soaking wet with desire. This was the hottest thing she had ever experienced as she hollowed her mouth as best she could and kept sucking and licking him with every thrust. She was determined to bring her to climax.
She slid one hand down to unbutton her pants, and her fingers found their way inside her underwear to rub her slick folds. She was already so close, so wet and slick from tasting him. She began to rub her clit and moaned against Gavin as his thrusts became more forceful, more erratic. She could tell how ragged his breathing was, and how urgently he used her mouth that he was close.
Her eyes locked onto him as she rubbed herself furiously, desperate to join him in his climax. Her pleasure was climbing, pressure was building. Her mana flared to life around her as she neared her peak, warm brown hues filled the tent as her eyes began to glow.
Gavin was lost in pleasure. Her mouth was the greatest source of heaven that he had ever experienced. The way she let him take the lead and use her was almost enough by itself to send him over the edge. He thrust his hips, quickly, roughly. He used her mouth to push himself closer to the limit, and when her mana flared around him and her eyes began to glow, Gavin responded in kind.
He could feel the bond between them. The magical link between their animal selves as they recognized the other as their mate and partner. His magic flared out in response to the emotions that he felt through that bond with Erza. Bright crimson hues filled the tent and blended with the brown into a beautiful tapestry of magical energies.
Gavin's eyes glowed vibrant red as he growled low, deep in his throat. This woman is going to be the death of me. His mind raced with the swell of love he felt for her as he pushed her head all the way down, bucked his hips forward and his cock throbbed and erupted. "I'm cumming!" he growled out as he held her there while his body shook and trembled.
Erza's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she felt him roughly force his cock down her mouth and throat before growling those words. The rough treatment and his taste sent her over the edge as her pleasure burst into a wave of blinding light. She moaned loudly against him as she came on her fingers while he emptied himself in her mouth.
Her breathing was ragged as he let her head go. She swallowed every drop she could and continued to lick him clean before she pulled back, her lips swollen from being used. She leaned back to look at him, his eyes dazed and a goofy grin plastered on his face. She wiped the traces of his release from her lips with her thumb and then licked it clean while she locked eyes with him. The action caused him to shudder.
She climbed back up his body and pressed her chest against his as she kissed him. Not one born of desperation, or hunger. But a kiss of love, longing. Her heart soared when he wrapped his arms around her and returned it with equal passion. She sighed against him as she pressed her forehead against his. "I love you." His words were tender and soft as he cupped her cheek.
She gave a cocky smirk as she said, "I know. I love you too, stubborn wolf boy." She leaned down to kiss her again as she rocked her hips against him. She was still hungry. "Are you up for more?" Her words tickled his ear as she nuzzled his neck. She placed soft bites along his jaw as she pressed herself down on him.
His hands roamed across her back and his breath hitched at her words. He slowly came down from the high as he playfully started to push her jeans down on her hips. "You're wearing too much." His voice was hoarse, raspy as he looked at her. He grinned as he grabbed onto her hips and rolled to pin her beneath them.
Erza let out a surprised squeak as Gavin suddenly flipped their positions. Maybe letting him take the lead isn't such a bad idea. She let out a drawn-out moan as his mouth found her nipples and he licked and sucked. She ran her hands through his hair and pressed his head against her body. "That's it baby, take what you want." Her words were rushed and desperate as his actions renewed the hunger inside of her.
He slid his way down with kisses, licks, and gentle nips. Her stomach muscles contracted and fluttered as he teased her. A wicked laugh escaped his lips as he saw how unraveled his controlled lover was quickly becoming. He gripped the hem of her jeans and pulled them down. She lifted her hips eagerly to help him as he tossed them along with her underwear to the side.
He sucked his breath in as he finally saw her in all her glory. She truly was his goddess. His perfection. Erza's breath stopped for a moment as she saw the hunger in Gavin's eyes when he pulled her pants off. It was raw, primal. A promise of things to come.
For a moment she felt self-conscious as he just stared at her. He didn't touch, didn't tease. Just stared at her with that primal hunger in his eyes. Gavin looked like he was memorizing her body, her figure. She grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it. "Are you going to sit there all day, or are you going to fuck me?" Her growled words and the blush on her cheeks made Gavin grin.
"Oh, I don't know. I thought I'd stay here a while, memorize how beautiful you are." Erza groaned at his cheesy words and smacked him again with the pillow.
He chuckled as he grabbed the pillow and placed it beside her head as he leaned down to kiss her hip. She spread her legs wide and willingly for him as he laid between them. He nipped her hip which caused her to groan. Her heart was racing as she watched him take his time savoring every inch of skin he could kiss and lick.
Gavin slid his hand up her leg. He started with her shin, his touch feather light as he barely connected. It was sensual, teasing. He moved his hand ever so slowly up her leg to her thigh. Her breathing was more ragged as he kissed and nipped the inside of her thigh before he moved his hand over to where she desperately wanted him.
She moaned out as he rubbed her slick folds. "Don't you stop." She ordered as he stroked her slowly. He moved her mouth closer to where burned for him. Her mana flared around them as she tangled her fingers in his soft curls once more. He slid a finger inside her and her body felt alive.
Her muscles contracted and gripped his finger tightly as he slowly, teasingly slid it deep inside her. He placed gentle kisses against her leg before he moved to lick where she was wet. A feral yowl escaped Erza's mouth as he slid his tongue up and down her lips and her hips bucked up against his mouth. He pressed her down firmly into the mattress as he started to lick and suck while his finger continued against her walls.
The pressure continued to build as Gavin continued to savor her. He growled at her taste as he slid his tongue inside her with his finger. His head spun as his mana exploded around them. Bright red hues that dominated and mixed with the brown from Erza. He felt that primal connection with her, that recognition of something more as he tasted and licked. He wanted to see her lose control; to give herself over completely like he did for her.
"That's it baby, cum for me. I want to taste you." Gavin's growled worlds made Erza shudder as her hips continued to buck against her as her moans grew louder. He licked, fingered, sucked, and teased her until all she could feel was Gavin. All she could think about was the wave of pleasure that he gave her. In one blinding moment she screamed his name as her thighs closed around his head as she climaxed.
Gavin grinned as he licked and savored the taste of her release. It was sweet satisfaction that he was able to return the favor she gave him. When she screamed his name, it was like music to his ears. He continued his ministrations, coaxing her through the entire orgasm as her breathing slowly settled and her thighs let go of his head.
"That was…. Holy shit. We need to bronze that tongue." She panted as she looked down at his cocky grin. He kissed his way back up up her body as he positioned himself between her legs.
She cupped his face and kissed him fiercely. He returned the kiss as he ran his hands up and down her body, cupping her breasts. She reached down between them and grabbed his cock. Once more hard and ready for her as she stroked him. Gavin gasped through the kiss as his hips pressed harder against her hand.
"I need you." He whispered hungrily as he opened his eyes, and she saw they still glowed vibrant red.
The raw hunger in his gaze stole her breath as she nodded and guided him to her entrance. "Then come get me, my mighty wolf." Her words were a low seductive command as Gavin growled low in his throat as he sank himself deep inside her.
Erza hissed at the sudden fullness inside her. Her head rolled back as he stretched her. She had never felt so full with a partner before, and when Gavin moved. She swore she orgasmed. He pulled back and thrust again inside her. Each time he buried himself to his hilt against her.
She wrapped both legs around his waist and tried to raise her hips to meet his thrusts. "Yes, like that. Don't stop." She panted as she held onto him and urged him on. She was floating, lost in the sensation of Gavin being buried inside her. This felt so right. So wonderful.
Tears stung the back of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall and risk ruining this moment. She moaned out his name, over and over as he moved and thrust inside her. Her body was sore, spent, yet she welcomed him every time. "Keep going baby." She encouraged as the hunger in his eyes grew more intense.
Gavin growled low in his throat. He was finally one with Erza. Finally with the girl of his dreams. By all the gods this felt right, felt like home. Every time he slid inside her, her body welcomed him and gripped him. He could feel every inch inside her warm folds as he grunted and moved against her. This was his heaven.
A leaf crunched outside, and whispered voices could be heard. Gavin didn't care. Nothing could stop this moment right now. He felt her wrap her legs around his waist and he groaned as he was pushed deeper inside her. She was so warm and wet for him that he couldn't think straight.
Their mana combined inside the tent in a chaotic and beautiful fashion. The air grew thick and heavy, electrified with the combined power of the two. The light from the afternoon sun was almost blotted out by the density of their mana as Gavin furiously made love to Erza. Her voice was hoarse from moaning his name out as he moved, thrusted, licked, and teased her body. The sensations built up pleasure inside her as she grinded her hips up against him.
"I'm so close baby. Cum. Cum with me." Erza demanded as she wrapped her arms around his back and tightened her legs around his waist. She wasn't going to let him pull out. She wanted him. Everything. She was beyond rational thinking as the emotions ragged inside her. The stimulation was all consuming as she kissed him urgently.
Gavin felt her walls tighten even more around his cock as his thrusts grew more urgent. "Shit, I'm cumming!" His worlds were a loud growl as he buried himself deep inside her. The tip of his cock reaching her deepest areas as he released inside her.
Erza screamed his name at the top of her lungs as she felt him bury himself inside her and stretched her even more. The sensation of him flooding her body with his release triggered her own. In a powerful blinding flash, she came around him. Her nails dug into his back as her body shook from the intensity of her orgasm.
Gavin nuzzled her neck as his body shook in her arms. His breathing was ragged and he couldn't think straight. All he could feel was the warm body beneath him that held him like he mattered. Like he was loved.
He kissed her neck as she rubbed gentle circles against his back. A laugh bubbled up inside him that he couldn't suppress. She raised an eyebrow at the sound. "What's so funny?"
"Only that I've dreamed of this for years, I just didn't know the dream would feel this… safe." His whispered admission caught her off guard as she cradled him to her body.
"Well believe it lover boy." She teased him gently as she smiled against his hair. Their bodies were covered with sweat and fluids as he rested his weight against her. It wasn't painful, or restricting, but it felt comfortable to have Gavin lay against her like that. Somehow tender and sweet. Her big bad wolf, such a thoughtful lover.
"I think you killed me. My body feels too weak to move." He whispered against her ear as he snuggled against her. The smile grew wider on her face as she held him closer.
"Well, that's alright. I'm pretty sure I won't be walking much tonight." Her words were light and warm. She let out a soft moan as she felt him slip out, their combined fluids already leaking from her body.
"Thank you." Gavin whispered as he leaned up to look down at her.
His words confused her. "For what?"
"For loving such a stubborn, reckless man like me." He said with that signature bashful grin on his face.
Her heart warmed at those words. "Well, don't get all mushy on me." She teased him back as she hugged him close.
Gavin hugged her back and kissed her forehead tenderly. "Think the others heard our little, adventure?"
Erza stilled in his arms then let out a smirk. "Oh yeah. How much do you wanna bet they placed bets on us hooking up during this trip?" She chuckled at the memory of them betting on when Gavin would ask her out.
Gavin laughed as he rolled over onto his side and grabbed a blanket to cover them. "Oh, I guarantee Aria and Lyla most definitely did." He placed his arm under his head as he watched her. She seemed to glow with an otherworldly energy as she grinned at him. Both their mana's had eased up and vanished after their combined climax, yet the warm glow remained in Erza's eyes.
Upon closer inspection Gavin gasped. Around the outside edge of her iris, was a thin band of red mana that glowed and highlighted the warm brown hues of her eyes. Erza raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Gavin searched around and found Erza's phone. He opened her camera and took a picture of her face before he turned the image over to show her. "Your eyes, they have a red glow to them now." His words were a confused, stunned whisper.
Both of Erza's eyebrows shot up as she studied the photo Gavin took. Wrapping around her brown eyes was, indeed, a thin band of red that was vibrant and bold. "This has never happened before." She whispered as she inspected the image. She turned the phone into selfie mode and looked closer. For a moment fear filled her thoughts, and she gritted her teeth as she pushed it down. "If it's a mark, then it's ours. Let everyone know I am yours, and you are mine." She declared.
She sat the phone aside and looked at him. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted a thin band of warm brown hues around his glowing red eyes. "You're eyes. They have brown in them now." She reached up to gingerly cup his cheek as she studied his eyes.
Maybe there was more to this mate bond than I thought. Her mind raced as she tried to recall any lore or fable about shifters and partners with glowing red bands around their eyes.
"I wonder if its permanent." Gavin whispered as he tried to think about what to do. He reached for her pants when suddenly the tent flap opened, and voices could be heard.
"Um, You guys need to get dressed and get out here." Aria's voice was cold and on edge as she poked her head into the tent.
Outside Gavin could hear the flap of wings and clink of metal armor. Just then Gavin's soul sense activated. There were two new souls in the clearing besides the four of them. They were bright, brimming with white energy and powerful as all hell. What made it more concerning for Gavin and set him on edge was he recognized what those souls felt like. He encountered them only recently.
His eyes glowed deep red as he reached for his pants. "Stay here." His words were a growled command to Erza as he climbed out of bed and threw his jeans back on.
