It had been a long day, the season of the rut was approaching, and Knox was finding it more and more difficult to focus on the things he needed to do versus those he wanted to do. Of course, he only wanted to do one thing—fuck Ruby. Fortunately, Ruby had made it through her transition and was feeling the same way. Accordingly, renovation on the bed and breakfast was progressing much slower than anticipated.

Having finished dinner with the clan, Knox had tossed Ruby over his shoulder and had headed up to their room to the accompaniment of applause and catcalls. He also vaguely heard other men in the clan who had mates doing the same. As far as Knox was concerned, those who weren’t mated were on their own, but he expected his men to recognize and honor the autonomy of the clan’s she-bears.

Once inside their room, Knox set Ruby down, pulling her into his embrace and kissing her with a hard and compelling passion. Gripping her tightly, he could feel her responding to the dominance and desire rushing through his veins. His eyes bore into hers, his hands roaming over every inch of her skin. She was his to take whenever and however he pleased. And she would willingly submit to him, no matter how sore or tired she might be.

He swept her up in his arms and carried her to their bed. He stripped them both naked before lifting her onto it. He crawled onto the bed with her and began moving down her body—licking and sucking her nipples, before giving them the edge of his teeth, making her hiss. He continued worshiping her body, spreading her legs wide before he put his mouth on her sex. He kissed and nibbled on her labia before doing the same to her clit so that she was gasping.

She was ripe and ready for him. The scent of her arousal was intoxicating, and by itself had the power to send him into a frenzy. Settling between her legs he began to feast on her, spearing her pussy with his tongue again and again, supping on the honey of her body. He continued making a meal of her until she cried out as she orgasmed, her body going rigid and trembling before she exhaled slowly and went limp in his arms.

He pushed two fingers inside her wet pussy as she came down, and she moaned with pure pleasure—his mate was nothing if not responsive. Her body seemed to pulse with the same powerful sensations as those of his own cock. It was clear that Ruby was ripe for the taking, and Knox wasted no time in teasing and playing with her until she was squirming again.

He moved up her body until he was straddling her head. Knox offered her his hard cock. Ruby licked her lips, eyeing his staff. Obediently, she opened her mouth, her tongue darting out and licking the head. He grasped the headboard, groaning loudly before he stilled her head with one hand and began thrusting in and out of her warm, willing mouth, controlling every movement.

The feeling of her was almost too much for him to handle. Every time he hit the back of her throat, he paused to let himself savor the sensation before pulling out and plunging back in again. But this wasn’t just about pleasure for Knox—it was about possession and domination. He wanted all of her—mind, body, heart, and soul. She belonged to him completely.

“Enough,” he rumbled before pulling out and moving back down her body. “Spread your legs.”

Without hesitation, Ruby complied. She knew who she was and what they were together. She was completely and utterly under his control and knew that surrendering to him would only bring her more pleasure and ecstasy. She spread her legs wide, ready and eager for whatever he wanted to do with her next.

She was the very picture of desire with her legs spread wide to reveal her glistening, pulsating core. Knox’s eyes widened at the sight before him as he crawled between her open thighs, taking a moment to savor the sweet scent of her arousal.

With her knees hooked over his muscular arms, he slowly entered her, feeling the slick heat of her inner walls enveloping him. He relished the sensation of being coated in her heated honey as he pushed deeper and deeper until he was fully seated inside her. His deep groans of pleasure mixed with Ruby’s gasps and moans as he pulled back and thrust back in, reveling in the tight warmth and grip of her body.

But this was only the beginning; their primal instincts were driving them into a frenzy of desire. They both knew this session would not last for hours—that would come later. For now, all they craved was the intense pleasure of being together, of fulfilling each other’s needs.

Knox’s hunger for her grew more insatiable with each powerful thrust, his animalistic urges matched by Ruby’s untamed response. She clung to him desperately, drawing blood with her nails as she begged for more.

He gladly complied, relentlessly pounding into her while simultaneously keeping his pelvis pressed against her swollen clit. Their bodies moved together faster and harder, building towards a feverish climax until they finally exploded with mind-blowing ecstasy.

Collapsing together, they basked in the afterglow of their intense lovemaking. In that moment, there was no place they’d rather be than in each other’s arms for eternity. And as they drifted off to sleep, they knew that their passion would only continue to burn brighter with each passing day, their love powering them through every moment together.
