Cougar Needs [Cougarlicious 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) (9 page)

“How about we pick up a pizza on the way home instead? You must be exhausted,” Stacy suggested.

“Hmmm, that sounds like an even better idea. Then we can both relax and discuss our future. I also need to run by my apartment and pick up some clothes, if you won’t mind?”

Stacy smiled, a tingling excitement starting in her stomach as he approached the bed. “I think that’s a fantastic idea. Can we also talk about when you’re moving in?”

That question stopped KJ in his tracks for a second. “Is that what you want? I don’t want to push you too fast. If you need time to adjust to me being a part of your life, I can wait.”

Stacy stood and closed the distance between them. “But I don’t want to wait. It has been an intense couple of days, but I want to be with you as much as our jobs will allow. I’m falling in love with you, and this feels more right than any other relationship I’ve been in before. I just don’t want you to regret tying yourself down with an old lady.”

The words had been said spontaneously and without thought. As soon as she heard herself saying them, Stacy knew it was right, but immediately began to worry about KJ’s reaction. They were still relative strangers, and maybe this whole thing was just a result of her needing a hero and him being in the right place at the right time. Would he regret making her his mate at some time in the future? What would happen then?

KJ stepped close and after dropping her clothes on the bed, wrapped her in his arms and hugged her gently. “My sweet mate, you do not know how happy those words make me. Yes, we’ve known each other a short time, but what is between us will only grow stronger as time passes. You may be a few years older than I am, but I’ve always had a thing for sexy women no matter what the age. And when we’re both ready, we’re going to have a night of sex that will involve me claiming you completely.”

“What do you mean, claiming me completely?”

“I’m going to take your mouth, your pussy, and your ass,” he said boldly just before he lowered his head and kissed her.

With that, any worries Stacy might have had about their relationship working out fled. By the time he lifted his head, all she could think about was going home with her cougar. They would spend the rest of their lives fulfilling each other’s needs one at a time, starting with a long hot bath and a lazy evening on the couch that would hopefully end with another round of sex so hot it singed the sheets.

Afraid to tell Kimber and Gwen of her new status as KJ’s mate, Stacy deftly avoided the topic of whether or not she had met a man during the next few weeks leading up to their beach weekend. She had her hands full with her business suddenly taking off like a rocket, challenging her creative and organization skills, and KJ moving over the week following Wayne’s attack.

Three days after she came home from the hospital, there was an article in the newspaper about a body being found in the woods behind her house. The story went on to say that the body was a male in his mid to late forties, but the police were not releasing any other information at this time. The officer interviewed was quoted as saying, “It looks like a bear attacked him, which is unusual for this time of the year and this area.” The article went on to warn people who lived near the woods to be on the guard and if they saw a stray wild animals to stay away from them and alert the authorities immediately.

Though Stacy questioned him, KJ refused to tell her anything else about the night he had chased Wayne out of her house, instead, distracting her with a kiss or a hand running up the inside of her thigh to cup her mound.

Sex between them grew even hotter as they learned each other’s triggers and erogenous zones. KJ also began playing with her ass. He used his fingers and several progressively larger butt plugs to stretch her in preparation for the night he said he would claim her in every way possible.

Two days before they were to leave for their beach weekend with the girls, Stacy came home from a dinner meeting to find the lights out and candles flickering in the living room while the New Age music they both found relaxing played on the whole house stereo system.

Leaving her shoes at the door, she dropped her briefcase on the kitchen counter before padding into the living room. “KJ?”

“Welcome home, mate,” KJ answered as he stepped into the living room from the bedroom. He wore only a pair of loose-fitting boxers and spoke in the deep, sexy voice that got Stacy’s engine revving every time he used it. “How was your day?”

Stacy smiled as her pussy clenched and her nipples beaded instantly in response. “It was a very good day. How was yours?”

“I talked to the chief, and he’s moving me to day shift starting when we get back from our trip,” KJ began to walk toward her, his stride just as graceful and sexy in human form as it was when he was in his cougar form.

“Wonderful,” Stacy said as she walked forward to meet KJ in the middle of the room.

“I decided we need to celebrate,” he said as he took her in his arms and began to dance her around the room to the music.

“Celebrate what?” she asked, sliding her hand around the back of his neck. She had learned early on that stroking him there, in either his human or cougar form, would get him purring in no time.

And tonight was no different.

She dragged her fingertips across the base of his neck twice before he was canting his hips forward and pressing his fully erect cock into her lower belly.

“Life, love, our one month anniversary,” he said.

He turned his head and breathed openmouthed against the side of her neck. Stacy’s body reacted as it always did, weakening and causing her to lean more heavily against him as her pussy juices overflowed and her need spiraled higher. She had been so turned on just walking in the room that it would not take much more to send her flying.

“And how do you plan to celebrate all these wonderful things?” she asked, dropping her head to the side as KJ licked his way up to blow in her ear, sending more shivers through her.

“I’m going to claim my mate in every way,” he whispered before taking her earlobe between his lips and suckling gently.

At the same time, his hands stroked down her back to her ass cheeks. He massaged the flesh while working her knee-length skirt up her body until it was out of the way and his hands were cupping and pressing into bare skin.

Stacy could not answer except to breathe a, “Hmmm.”

As they danced closer to the bedroom door, KJ lifted his head and looked down at her. “You okay?”

Stacy had to swallow while she tried to find enough working brain cells to say, “I need you. So bad.”

“You’ve got me, baby girl. For the rest of our lives and beyond.”

With that promise, they danced their way into the bedroom. After he helped strip off her blouse and bra, he played with her breasts, cupping and stroking them before bending forward and taking one nipple in his mouth. He suckled at it for a few seconds before turning to the other. At the same time, his hands were busy on the fastening of her skirt. Once he pushed it to the floor, they moved to the bed.

“Hands and knees, baby girl.”

As Stacy crawled onto the bed, she watched as KJ retrieved the largest plug and a bottle of lube from the nightstand before joining her on the mattress. He placed a kiss on each ass cheek before spreading them and licking from her clit all the way to her rosette and then up to the top of her centerline.

“So beautiful you are, my mate,” he murmured as he dripped lube on his fingers and then spread it over her back hole.

“Relax and breathe,” he said as he slipped a finger into her back passage.

Dropping her head, Stacy moaned at the intrusion. Then began to pant as a second finger joined it a moment later. By the time KJ added a third, her arousal had grown to the point she would have begged for release, if she could speak.

“Push back,” he ordered gently as he pulled his fingers.

Only able to obey his commands, Stacy did as ordered, making her own animal sounds as he slowly worked the plug into her ass. When it was seated in place, he kissed his way up her spine until he was crouched over her.

“Still okay?” he asked as he brushed his lips over the back of her neck.

“Mmmm,” she breathed as she moved her head in an affirmative motion and hoped he understood.

“Good girl.”

He licked over the back of her neck as the head of his cock brushed between puffy pussy lips and over her clit. Stacy arched her back, needing more. That shift moved the plug in her ass, and she moaned again with her need.

“Please,” she begged as her arms gave out and she ended up resting on her shoulders with her arms splayed out to the side.

KJ chuckled, but it sounded strained just before he pushed his cock into her pussy just far enough to tease. “Is this what you need?”

“Yes,” Stacy growled. “Fuck. Me.”

KJ did not answer verbally, but he growled as his cock slid all the way home. She gasped at the fullness of having both him and the plug filling her. Then he began to slowly move in and out. She began to rock back and forth with him as her orgasm gathered within her like a powerful threatening summer storm. With every stroke it grew closer and closer, threatening to break over her at any moment.

“Harder,” she panted, needing more than the slow, easy rhythm he was holding her to. “Faster.”

Her words unleashed something with KJ, and he took her at her word. He began moving in and out with faster, more powerful strokes.

In less than a minute, Stacy cried out as her orgasm broke over, in, and through her. Her muscles convulsed as her pussy tightened around the shaft still pistoning in and out. That squeezing set KJ off, and his hips slammed into her twice more before he followed her over the edge.

She felt his cock jerk in her, filling her with heat as he came. By the time her orgasm subsided, he had bent forward, covering her body with his own, his hands wrapped around her middle as he moved them so they lay on the bed on their sides, still connected.

They stayed that way for a long time before KJ eased from her, then kissed his way back down her body. When he reached her waist, he pulled her over onto her back and moved between her legs to lap at her pussy and their combined juices as they flowed from her pussy.

The first time he had done this, Stacy had been startled and tried to stop him. He held her down and finished before moving over her and kissing her, sharing the taste with her. After that, she had decided to let him do anything he wanted. In the past month, she had learned to trust that he knew what she needed, sometimes better than she did herself.

She had also learned that such loving after sex was something she enjoyed just as much as he did. No matter how the sex was, rough and urgent or slow and lazy, his touch afterward seemed to settle something inside her while at the same time keeping her arousal from dying away completely.

“How about some dinner?” he asked once he finished licking her clean of their juices.

Stacy took a deep breath and sighed as he crawled up the bed to sprawl beside him. “I don’t know if I have the energy to stand up and cook.”

He smiled and nuzzled her shoulder as one hand came up to cover a breast. “That’s why I already fixed dinner. It’s in the refrigerator waiting for us.”

Stacy smiled and leaned over to kiss him. “I do love a man who’s willing to cook,” she said.

KJ grinned back but spoke with a growl. “I’d better be the only man you love who’s willing to cook.”

Stacy wrapped one arm around him and pulled him down over her. “You are the only man I love. And the only one I know who dares to set foot in a kitchen when I’m not home.”

“Good. Let’s eat,” he said, gently breaking her hold and climbing from the bed.

Stacy followed slower, the plug in her ass keeping her body from settling completely. “I’ll be there in a minute.”

KJ took her hand. “Leave the plug in.”

Stacy nodded and followed him to the kitchen where he pulled out her big salad bowl. When he set it on the table, she saw that their salad had very little lettuce, but lots of meats, cheeses, and all the other vegetables Stacy loved.

Once again, she was impressed that he had remembered what she had said more than two weeks earlier. They had been at a buffet and she had piled a salad plate with everything from the salad bar, except the lettuce. When he asked her about it, she admitted that she hated lettuce. His response was to grin and say he preferred meats to veggies, too.

Over dinner, they talked about their days, shared good news, frustrating moments, and generally acted like they were on a date. The fact that they were both naked and Stacy was wearing a butt plug kept her from thinking this was a normal date. But then, nothing about their relationship would have been considered normal to anyone but them. And she liked it that way.

She only wished she could change into a cougar and run with him in the evenings when he took off through the woods, giving his wild side a chance at freedom. But he had explained that shape-shifters were born, not made.

After eating, they cleaned up the kitchen together. Once the dishes were in the dishwasher and the leftover salad packed away, she took KJ’s hand.

“I need you,” she said as she led him back to the bedroom. “I need you to claim my virgin ass.”
