hips speed up.
“Would you… take me with them on? We don’t have to, but I—”
I grab his hips with my other hand to hold him in place, while I withdraw my fingers and guide him forward until we’re lined up. He rocks back, taking me halfway all at once. “Oh, Sam, I…” He inhales a ragged breath and lowers all the way down.
Last time the pleasure was so laced with guilt, I couldn’t enjoy it. But this time I close my eyes and savor the tight heat of Lu. “I love you.” I wanted to say those words so badly last time. Keeping them inside required a herculean effort. But now I don’t have to pretend anymore.
When I open my eyes Lu is hovering over me with a peaceful smile. “I love you too.”
I slide my fingers underneath the lace to grip his bare skin and snap my hips up. His head leans back, and his full lips open. I thrust up again, and he leans over me, grasping for my shoulders, his nails sinking into my skin. “Yes. Oh, don’t stop.”
The chafe of the lace between us as our bodies collide only makes it better. Lu’s scent is thick in the air as his cheeks pinken, and he starts riding me with a desperation that’s going to take me over the edge. I reach for his cock over the lace. His ass clamps down on me and he lets out a strangled cry.
It’s all too much. It’s been less than twenty-four hours since I knotted him, but my cock grows anyway, Lu’s walls becoming tighter around me as my knot swells.
He shakes his head back and forth, his cock pulsing between my fingers. “So big.”
The instinct to thrust my knot in deeper is impossible to ignore. Lu’s little moans just make it worse.
“I need to. I… please.” Last time I held back. I didn’t want to completely lose control.
“Give it to me,” Lu begs.
I dig my fingers into his hips and fuck up into him in short, hard thrusts. I start slow, but as I give into my urges, I rail into him with an almost feral intensity. He takes it with his head lolled to one side like a rag doll.
I thrust one last time, my orgasm turning me into a growling, shaky mess. I feel like an animal, needing to claim, needing Lu to be mine forever.
“The pebble,” I rasp.
Lu reaches underneath his pillow and holds it out to me, instinctively knowing what I need.
If it was around his neck, like it should be, when I brought it to my chest, I’d bring him to. But I settle for pressing the stone to my heart, then pressing it to his. He sighs.
The rock says more than words ever could. It represents a bond deeper than any verbal promise. All of my worries from earlier are completely gone as I stare into his eyes.
“Your knot is… wow,” he says, wiggling his hips back and forth.
“Penguin shifter anatomy is a little different.” I try not to sound too smug. I’m glad he’s enjoying it.
Lu keeps grinding into me. “Mmmmm. How long do we get before it goes down?”
“As long as you keep doing that, I can keep you filled up all night.”
He smiles down at me. “Is that a challenge?”
“Maybe.”
He laughs and keeps rolling his hips.

Lu
I’m so greedy for Sam’s knot. He makes me come again, and my cock is just as hard after I’m done. So I keep riding him. I keep squeezing my ass down on him, keep giving into my primal need to grind into him until I can’t see.
I don’t know how many times I come before the exhaustion sets in and I slump over, my body completely coated in sweat. “I’m sorry. I just… can’t get enough.”
He wraps his arms around me. “Baby, it’s supposed to be like that. My knot, just like my pebble, belongs to you. Please take your pleasure.”
That makes a wonderful kind of sense. I relax into Sam as his knot softens inside of me. I’m not quite ready for him to leave me yet, and he seems to sense that, because he doesn’t move. He just strokes my back slowly.
“We may have ruined your underwear,” Sam says.
“It’s okay. I have others.”
His hand stops in the middle of my back. “You do?”
“Maybe?”
“That’s… wow. Maybe you could show them to me over Skype this week?”
I smile against his chest. This is a real relationship—a real bond. Sam is truly mine.
“That sounds
