The Lion and the Lamb

Rearing back, he then slammed into her over and over again. Her gorgeous tits bounced from the force of his thrusts. A low growl left him, and he saw her eyes widen. He didn’t stop his growl from rising. He wanted her to know, needed her to know, that she was his and nothing would change that.
“You’re mine, Tatum.” He sank into her again, and again, and again. Her cream was slick and glossy, and he wanted more from her. His thumb found her clit, and he rubbed the tight bud in quick circles. Her inner muscles clenched and unclenched around him, and her breathing hitched. His mate was close to coming again, and he wanted her doing it while he marked her.
Falling forward, Leo braced his weight on one forearm and pushed the hair from her face. Desire was thick in her gaze. His hips started swinging as if they had a mind of their own. Slanting his mouth on hers, he fucked her with his tongue like he fucked her pussy with his cock.
Her whole body tensed, and he knew she would explode once again. Honestly, he didn’t know if he could have held off his own orgasm any longer.
“I-I’m…” As she arched her neck, baring her throat, he let his groan spill from him at the submissive sight she threw off. “I’m coming.” Her eyes widened a fraction before they slammed shut and her cunt clamped down hard around his dick.
The lion inside him went berserk. Pistoning his hips back and forth, he clamped his teeth on the arch of her shoulder and bit down. A gasp and the sound of her crying out in pleasure filled the room. The sweet flavor of everything that was Tatum spilled into his mouth. His orgasm came upon him, and he relished the feeling of finally having his female beneath him.
He came hard, his semen filling her, marking her. A flash of color exploded behind his eyes, and he tore his mouth away from her and gritted his teeth. His lion wanted out, wanted to claim Tatum in every way possible. She wasn’t ready to see him change though.
Right now, he needed to focus on making her see that he was the man she could be happy with. Once she was fully his, he would worry about explaining his animal side to her. How would she react to finding out he could shift into a lion at will, and that she was the one and only female who could bring him to his knees?
When her pussy milked every last drop of cum from him, he sagged in relief. Never had being with a female been so consuming. Although, he knew being with Tatum would always be like this. In fact, it would only grow the longer they were together.
He rolled off her, although he wanted nothing more than to be the blanket that kept her body warm all night. The only sound that filled the room was that of their combined breathing. He reached over and wrapped his hand around her waist. Leaning forward, he ran his tongue between her breasts and gathered the droplets of perspiration that settled there.
“That was…” A smile filtered across her face, but he watched as it slowly faded and a look of panic replaced it. “Oh, God.” She turned to face him and gripped his forearm—ready to push him away or pull him closer, he wasn’t quite sure. “We didn’t use a condom.” Her chest rose and fell with exertion from their lovemaking and her fear.
“Baby.” He dipped his head kissed her gently. “It’s fine,” he groaned.
“What about pregnancy? Oh God.” She pushed herself up, but he wouldn’t let her panic consume this moment.
“Tatum, look at me.”
Her wild eyes met his, and he wished he could soothe her. He pulled her close to his chest and smoothed his hand over her damp hair. With their eyes locked, the temptation to tell her the truth slammed into him.
Leo wanted her to know everything about him, wanted to take the worry from her and only give her happiness and pleasure. These feelings were foreign to him, but he knew to his very marrow that they were true.
He heard from other shifters how it could be once a lion found its mate, but he never thought he’d experience it himself. The possessiveness inside him was potent and had him wanting nothing but to keep her tucked away from all the ugliness that was his world.
“Since meeting you, I haven’t been with any other females.” He ran his finger between her eyes and tried to smooth away the worry line. He closed his eyes and inhaled. “So pure,” he murmured. “And as for pregnancy…” He stared into her eyes and imagined her pregnant with his child. The idea for him wasn’t as abhorrent as it would most likely be for her. They didn’t know each other very well, had only known one another for just over a month, but for him, he had searched for her his entire life, even if he hadn’t realized it until she walked in looking for a job.
