She wrinkled her nose. “How is it you know exactly where you need to go and you never have a map?”
He pressed a finger to his temple. “It’s all in here.”
Leah picked the tray up, even though she’d only eaten a few pieces of fruit, and crawled out of the bed. Killian didn’t stop her as she loved to see her crawling toward him. The way her tits hung down was so freaking tempting to watch. She crawled onto his lap, and then ran her fingers through his hair and pressed a kiss to his temple.
“Here?”
“Yes, here.”
He gripped her plump ass, and she pressed her pussy toward his lap. He’d pulled on a pair of sweatpants that he found, but it didn’t hide his erection. This was a distraction.
You’re going to give her up.
You’re not going to have this anymore.
Enjoy her while you can.
He was being selfish, he knew that. Killian knew deep in his heart that he should stop this. That he should put an end to this foolishness. His pack had to come first. He had made that vow to his father, but as Leah’s lips pressed against his, he lost all logic and thought.
This was his mate. The woman he’d been searching for, for a long time. And he was going to give her up for his pack. For the safety of them all. He didn’t know exactly the risks he took in rejecting Leah, in living without a mate, but it had to be worth it. His father had told him the pack always had to come first. It was his responsibility to keep them safe.
Wrapping his fingers in Leah’s hair, he tugged her close and kissed her. This one last time, and then he wouldn’t taste her again. He wouldn’t have her.
Plunging his tongue into her mouth, he heard her moan. Killian broke the kiss, and took her to the bed, putting her on her knees, then he pushed the sweatpants down his thighs. His thick cock sprung out, and he gripped the flesh. Running his palm up and down the length, he released a groan, and then he pressed the head to her pussy. He didn’t look away, but watched as she opened around his length, and inch by inch he began to fill her.
“Killian!” his name was a moan spilling from her lips.
He never wanted her to stop saying his name like that, but he knew a time would come when she would have no choice. He was going to end it between them.
Once she had taken most of his length, he grabbed her hips and slammed to the hilt within her. She cried out and he began to pound inside her. This was the last time he’d feel her warmth, know how tight and wet she was. He was going to take it all, and then he’d save his pack.
Reaching between her spread legs, he found her clit and seated his dick to the hilt within her, touching her clit, driving her wild, and he waited for her release before he found his own. This time, the orgasm made him feel on fire. He didn’t want it to stop, but their time as mates was coming to an end.
And that, to Killian, was the biggest cruelty of all.
Chapter Nine
They left the bears, and Killian’s secret mission was clearly important. Mystic had given her a warning, and Leah understood it. Since they had mated, she had a feeling Killian was distancing himself. He would reach out and still touch her, caress her, or simply hold her hand, but something was different. She couldn’t help that nagging feeling in her gut.
“Tell me about your pack,” she said. She wanted to learn everything about her new home, unless Killian told her that was not going to happen, that they would not be living together.
She didn’t know if the coven would be happy with Killian invading their home. It was rare for them to have anyone other than witches or warlocks. Any guests they had only stayed for a couple of hours, and then they were gone. A coven was a safe haven for all witches.
Leah refused to break that safety net, even for her own mate. She had no doubt he would harm anyone, but that was still a horrible thing to ask of her coven.
“They’re like any other pack, Leah.”
“Okay, I’ve known, like, every single pack around, but come on, you’re telling me your pack isn’t special to you?”
He stopped and glared at her. “How many packs have you known?”
She rolled her eyes. “I was being sarcastic. I know there are a lot of packs out there, Killian, and they’re not all the same. What is the matter with you?”
He frowned. “Nothing.”
“Nothing? Because you’re getting testy and it’s starting to piss me off.” Leah frowned and then slammed a hand over her mouth.
