Chapter 274 Chapter 273
Rayena responded with nothing but moans, her insiddes drawing him deeper, spine sizzling with pleasure. Xenon increased his pace, eager to hear more of that sweet music she was making.
"Yes....! That's it! Oh gods!" Rayena's moans rose even higher. The entire world fell away, leaving only them and their need for each other.
Xenon growled and purred, his hunger reaching into a full blaze. The tenderness burned away quick, and all that was left was a deep need to claim.
Fucking primal.
His hips move uncoordinated like he couldn't help himself, and he slammed into harder, his strokes deepening with every thrust, consumed with the need to bury himself inside her.
Need to have all of her.
Rayena moved from moaning to crying, to screaming out her pleasure. Xenon buried his face to the crook of her neck, breathing her in, hammering into her like a raging bull, his skin shining with sweat.
Rayena wound around her hands around his neck, her body pressed flat under him, yet she wanted him closer. If only she could live under his skin.
"You're fucking beautiful... " Xenon groaned, voice harsh, broken. "So beautiful..."
Rayena wailed, her insides tightening around him as her orgasm neared.
"Oh, Xenon... Oh, please, please, please!!' She cried out, struggling like she could get out of his hold.
Xenon noticed this and angled his thrusts, hitting those sensitive spots inside her. Rayena combusted with a shrill scream, body convulsing like a fish out of water.
Xenon plundered her body through, dragging out the convulsions that wracked her entire being. Her body squeezed him like a vice, but he loved it. It felt too good.
No wonder she was able to drag him back from the land of madness.
He came with a roar, thick spurts of his seed filling her greedy channel, and triggering another mind boggling orgasm. They came together, bodies shaking, breath ragged. It was easily the best moment of Xenon's life.
Till something shifted within him. Or rather, stirred.
Instinct surged, ancient and primal.
His tiger.
Alive.
Awake.
Claiming him.
The word bursted out of his mouth before he could stop it. "Mine.... My mate." He muttered in a guttural voice, completely alien to him.
"Yours... " Rayena breathed, still shaking, eyes glossed over.
He brought to his nose to her neck, dragging deep lungfuls of her scent into his chest. A canine grew out, grazing her skin. Completely unexpected.
For the first time since his return, his tiger moved within him. And it wanted. Oh, it wanted.
"Rayena... " He called out in a rush. "My tiger's here... "
Rayena's eyes snapped open, and she blinked rapidly staring at him. "W-what?"
His gum ached as he fought through need to dig his teeth into her neck and taste her blood. What's with his tiger's obsession with her blood?! Already, he was resisting a shift, his head already pounding.
He buried his face to the crook of her neck, breathing her in over and over again, a strained effort to ground himself. “Rayena… I can’t control it.” His voice was deeper, trembling with a wild hunger he didn’t understand. “I’ve never—never felt him this close. I might go into a half shift. It wants you."
Panic flared in her eyes. Only for a moment.
"Then, let it take." Rayena whispered, running her hands all over his back in a soothing manner. "Let it take, Xenon."
The reassurance hit him deeper than any command he’d ever received. His tiger roared inside, pushing forward, wanting to mark, to claim, to protect.
Instinct surged again.
A shudder rippled through him. His shoulders broadened, muscles tightening as his spine curved. "You're sure? It could get really rough." He murmured, his voice gravely. His vision turned amber.
Hell, time was running out!
Rayena nodded quickly, a faint smile on her face. "I'm sure." She muttered.
The brush of her fingers against his face, dragged a guttural sound from him. Not a growl. Not a purr. Something between the two, rough and vibrating. He gave her frenzied kiss, then hastily pulled out, leaving her empty.
Right in front of her, Rayena watched as blonde hair covered his bare body, catching the candle-lights I the room, and gleamed.
Her breath caught softly, her eyes wider than saucers.
A savage roar ripped from his lips, and his frame doubled in size. So did his thick, hard arousal. All traces of the man she knew and loved disappeared, replaced only with the savage, cold calculating look possessed by this feline part of him.
A sharp shot of fear went through Rayena's body, but she forced herself to stay calm. Immediately getting on her knees, she turned around and gave him her back, back arched, buttocks in the air, legs spread.
Another growl ripped from his lips and soon, he was behind her, his hard length jutting into her most intimate spaces. Clawed fingers sunk into her waist, and Rayena bit back a scream.
Another growl, and Xenon buried himself into her with one deep thrust. Rayena screamed as an unfamiliar burn came upon her. In a half-shift, Xenon was much bigger than she had anticipated.
Without giving her time to adjust to him, he began moving, wild, unrestrained, deep growls spilling from his lips. Rayena threw her head back, her mouth open in a silent cry.
His thrusts felt like a spear into her stomach, relentlessly barreling through her. Her toes curled, tears leaked from her eyes. Above her, Xenon moved like a bucking stallion, branding her body and soul with the savage way he took her.
Rayena bore down, baring it all. The vicious slaps of his hips against her buttocks, the sting from where he held her waist in a tight grip. It felt just like when she had him in his wolf form, except it was different. Pain and pleasure mixed within her, forming a powerful inferno that stole her soul.
She was overwhelmed by him. He filled every of her senses, poured himself into every crevices of her soul. If she didn't know better, she would think they were performing the mating ritual.
Which brought her to another question. If regular sex was him was this intense, what would the mating ritual feel like!?
The moment she thought her feet had touched the bottom, Xenon pulled her to even greater heights.
There wasn't time to think as Xenon came inside her with a loud grunt, triggering yet another mind-bending orgasm. Her body writhed and shook beneath, saliva dribbling from her mouth, eyes rolled to the back of her head.
He filled her up, snarling as his release dribbles out and continued with his relentless thrusts. Rayena gave a hoarse scream, fireworks exploding in her vision, as Xenon pinned her down with his weight, and began hammering into her.
