Chapter 74 Seventy-Four
"You going to be okay?" Mason asked, wrapping his arms around Danica.
"Yeah, I'll be okay." Danica responded, leaning against him.
After returning home, Mason decided to run a nice hot bath for the both of them, his way of trying to help Danica feel the slightest bit better about the news they had received.
Stripping had been slightly awkward for Danica due to Mason's blanching when he saw the scars that now permanently littered her back from Marie, but once she had submerged her body, she couldn't help but admit that the bath was helping.
"Do you think this little one will be born into a peaceful world?" Danica asked, closing her eyes.
Mason, who had slid a hand to rest on Danica's stomach, let out a long sigh. "I hope so."
"You don't have confidence in beating them?" Danica asked, her eyes widening. "I thought that was what all the preparations were for."
"When it comes to war, you never know what will happen." Mason pointed out, pulling Danica closer to him. "Didn't you pay attention in any of your history classes?"
"Are you taking a hit against my intelligence?" Danica asked, wriggling out of Mason's grip so she could turn and face him. "Hmmm?"
Smirking Danica leaned in and kissed Mason, allowing his warmth to wash through her.
"Is this okay?" Mason asked, pulling away and staring into Danica's eyes. "You're pregnant, remember?"
"Dr. Williams said it is fine as long as I've had no issues." Danica murmured while kissing Mason's neck.
"You're playing with fire, woman..." Mason growled, wrapping his arms around Danica and pulling her close.
Danica let a moan escape her as Mason's erection slid between her thighs, rubbing against her already swollen clit.
"Mason...." Danica murmured as her lips found Mason's once more. "I love you."
"I love you more." Mason rasped as Danica began to tease.
Rocking her hips back and forth, Danica allowed Mason's erection to rub against her, driving them both mad slowly. Moans escaped her as she moved, while groans left Mason's lips.
"Damnit, baby, you gotta stop teasing." Mason growled, grabbing hold of Danica's ass. "If you don't want to do the honors, I can."
"Should we go to the bed?" Danica giggled as Mason's mouth nipped at her jaw.
"If you want." Mason said, lifting Danica as he stood.
Kicking the bathroom door open, Mason carried Danica to the bed before gently sitting her down.
Danica's chest heaved, allowing her breasts to rise and fall as Mason watched with appreciation, taking in her beauty entirely.
"Come here." Danica commanded, holding her arms out. "What can we possibly do with you right there?"
"Yes, maam." Mason smirked.
Leaning down, Mason allowed his lips to find Danica's once more. Sighing, Danica opened her mouth, deepening their kiss as Mason mercilessly teased her by rubbing his dick between her folds.
"Mason.... I want you...." Danica moaned, arching her hips. "Please...."
"Beg me...." Mason murmured while biting Danica's neck. "Tell me what you want me to do."
"I want you to fuck me until I forget everything...." Danica moaned as Mason bit down on the spot that held his mark. "Please...."
"Your wish is my command."
Palming himself, Mason positioned himself at Danica's wet opening. A groan escaped him as he entered her, taking absolute pleasure in the way she felt squeezing around him.
"Oh god, Mason..." Danica moaned as he began to thrust within her.
"That's right, baby.... Say my name." Mason panted while beginning to quicken his pace.
Moaning in pleasure, Danica closed her eyes as Mason began to move quicker and quicker within her, easily hitting her most sensitive of places and driving her mad.
"Oh....god.... yes...." Danica screamed while Mason began to move faster.
"I'm gonna cum baby..."
"Me too..."
Getting lost in passion Danica felt herself explode around Mason, milking him as he thrust deeply within her, letting a moan escape his lips as well. But this wasn't enough to satisfy either one of them. Coming down from their high, they continued to go again and again until Danica was so exhausted she couldn't take anymore.
"I love you." Mason whispered after while they cuddled, his hands running through her hair.
"I love you too." Danica yawned as her eyes began to flutter shut.
"Get some rest; you've earned it." Mason said while kissing Danica's forehead.
"Mmmhmmm."
Danica wasn't sure if it was due to the pregnancy or the internal strain that she had been enduring, but it took no time at all for her to fall fast asleep.
The sound of banging and yelling roused Danica from her sleep. Opening her eyes,she looked at Mason, who was still fast asleep beside her.
"Mason." Danica whispered, "Wake up, Mason!"
"Wha?" Mason asked groggily, his eyes opening to meet Danica's. "What's wrong?"
"Listen..." Danica urged growing quiet.
Just outside of their room, Danica could hear the sound of hurried footsteps quickly approaching. Stopping instantly, urgent banging began on the door just outside.
"Shit." Mason growled, jumping out of bed and throwing his pants on. "Stay here." He commanded Danica as he hurried out of the room, slamming the door closed behind him.
Getting up, Danica looked around for her clothes, determined not to be left out of whatever it was that was going on outside. She had enough of Mason leaving her out, and she wasn't about to allow it to happen now.
Throwing on the first pair of pants and shirt she could find, Danica made her way towards where Mason stood, talking to a very serious-looking Chris and his Delta Cameron.
"Luna..." Cameron spoke, noticing her presence. "Shouldn't you be resting?"
"No, I should be here to hear what is going on." Danica responded instantly as Chris and Mason turned to look at her.
"I told you to..." Mason began only for Danica to hold up a hand.
"This is my future pack, and therefore any issues are my business." Danica said simply, shutting the man up instantly. "What did I tell you about attempting to keep me in the dark?"
Letting out a long breath, Mason ran a hand through his hair and said, "Fine, but try to brace yourself."
"Just tell me what is going on." Danica said, steadying her pounding heart. "Not knowing would be much worse anyway."
"We are under attack." Mason said, slowly gauging Danica's reaction. "Marie and her army have breached the training grounds."
"The war has begun, Luna." Chris added gravelly.
"Then we fight." Danica responded as her determination strengthened. "We've been preparing for this for weeks; let's show them who they picked a fight with."
Nodding approvingly, all the men fixed their gaze on Danica as her demeanor began to ooze with authority. It was time that this ended once and for all.
