Mated

McKenzie enters her bedroom and gently places her back on her feet, her nerves have gone.  Replaced by a burning need, for him.  He looks deep into her eyes “I’ll be gentle” he assures her.  “I don’t want gentle.  I want you now!” she demands pulling him in and kissing him passionately.  Making Grant moan and his hands to slip under her dress in the search of bare skin.

With the mating bond, the tingles and their emotions from waiting, they come together explosively, not caring about their clothes and how they come off.  Once they are naked, McKenzie lays her down on her back on the bed.  Then shows her how much he cares and loves her.  Making her moan, and him groan with his own growing need. 

He is sane enough to make sure that he prepares her well.  Kissing and nibbling at her flesh, when he takes a hardened nipple into his mouth.  River feels things begin to build inside her.  She pushes herself more into him and he gently bites her nipple and soothes it with his tongue.  His hand runs down her side to the centre.  When she feels his fingers delve through her wet folds.  Her head and shoulders rear up as she groans.  When she flops back down on the bed.  She spreads her legs wider, inviting him to do more.  So, McKenzie lets her nipple pull from his mouth and he kisses his way down to her apex.

He looks up at his beautiful mate and finds her watching him.  His cock bounces with the heat of the look.  He then swipes his tongue over her and making her groan.  He takes his time savouring and tasting his mate.  She cum’s and then cum’s again as his fingers plunge her depths, readying her for his size.  Only when she is nice and wet does he move over her and kisses her again.

When he plunges into her wet, hot depths he nearly embarrasses himself, it feels so good.  Nothing can compare with making love to your mate, he realises.  He regains some control and starts to move building their passion, so when they are both panting, and ready to complete the mating, he looks into her lustful filled eyes.  He bares his neck to her.  He supports her head as she lifts it and kisses his neck where her mark will be.  He stimulates her just a little more and as she orgasms, he feels her teeth sink into his neck.  The rush it gives him, makes him ready.  River quickly licks over her bite and then bares her neck.  He sinks his teeth in and tastes her blood. Then feels her soul join his in his heart.  The bond is complete and only death will separate them now.

He licks over his bite sealing it, before they both ride out the body gripping orgasm, that is running through them both.  Once they’ve finished, McKenzie turns them so, River is on top of him, as he doesn’t want to crush her.  “River, you complete me. I love you” he tells her.  “I felt us connect together, I didn’t know that I was missing apart of myself.  I love you too” she says kissing his chest.

They spend the next couple of days working from home and making love whenever they want.  Just building their mate bond. 

Then they get ready for him to introduce her to the pack.  She is a little nervousness, as this will be the first time that she is meeting a large group of shifters.  “What if they don’t like me?” she worries “they’ll love you, as you are my mate.  Some might try to see if you are up to the job of Luna, but most will accept you as we are fully mated” McKenzie assures her.  “That is why I wanted us to be fully mated before you met the pack.”

He takes her hand in his and squeezes it, trying to comfort her as they drive closer to the pack lands.  This will be the first time River has been to his home here too.  He hopes she likes it and that it will become their second home away from work.

She has really impressed him, how she has handled her father’s company and the way she is dragging it into the 21^st century to become a more competitive contender within their sphere of work.  Just as she said she would.  She has also learnt quickly how the pack runs reading all the materials his parents sent her.  She met them not long after taking her family home back.  His mother could see how caring she was and told him she’d make a great Luna.

“We are just about to cross over onto pack lands” McKenzie tells her.  She can see nothing but the road and trees on either side of it.  She hears a distant howl though and smiles as they seem to be welcoming them.  “There is, 125 acres of forest land, 30 acres of water ways, as well as 175 acres of mountain ranges.  In total there are just over 330 acres of, pack land.  We have patrols that keep people out, but the tales of wild, fierce animals keep most people out” McKenzie tells her.

“Your father told me that you were hoping to add the 55 acres of farm land on the west side if and when it comes up for sale.  I think growing your own produce would save the pack a lot of money and also help the youngest realise that not everything is easy to get.  You have to work hard, for what you really want” River tells him.

“I’m looking forward to our pups growing up and learning too” he says squeezing her hand again.  “Reading about females heat cycles didn’t sound fun.  To be led around by your hormone’s, doesn’t not sound like a walk in the park” River says shuddering at the thought.

“It only happens to the ones that are fully mated.  I will help you relieve the worst of it” he assures her.  “Don’t know if I’m ready for kids yet.  I still have a lot to do in the company to make sure, it can compete with other’s out there” River tells him truthfully.

“I know, I want some time with just us too.  I’m not ready to share you yet” McKenzie replies.  “Right just around this bend and you’ll see your first glimpse of the pack house” he adds.  River looks out the window expectantly and as he drives around the bend.  She sees a three-story large house and a number of garages to the left of it.

She can also see a number of people outside.  Walking or playing with their children.  As McKenzie’s car pulls up outside the garages a number of the people stop and look at them.  They can’t see in the car, because of the smoked glass windows though.

McKenzie turns to her and smiles, “they’ll love you” he assures her again before kissing her and then stepping from the car.  He rounds it and opens up River’s door.  She gets out looking more confident that she is feeling.

McKenzie takes her hand and walks towards his pack members.  “I’d like everyone in the clearing in 5 minutes” he tells them as well as broadcasting it through the link.  River smiles as they all look at her with open interest.  She catches many of them scenting the air and looking a little shocked.

McKenzie leads her to a clearing around the back of the house where many more pack members are gathering.  “They can smell that we are mated.  Don’t be alarmed by their surprised faces” McKenzie links her.  “Surprised, they look utterly shocked! Is it because, I’m a few years, younger than you?” River asks

McKenzie turns to her “we age differently once we’ve shifted.  I shifted at 18, that was nearly 82 years ago.  I will be 100 in a couple of months” he tells her.  River looks at him and remembers what they’ve been doing a lot of, over the last couple of days.  “You really don’t look it, I thought you were no older than 30! You certainly don’t have the stamina of an old man” River exclaims and she blushes as she feels his excitement build.  Her eyes widen to warn him to stop.  “Sorry, I’ll be good. Almost everyone is here” he tells her kissing her forehead and turning towards the people assembled.

“Dear pack members, As, you’ve probably guessed.  I’ve been blessed and found my mate.  It has taken me a little longer than most.  But I found her” McKenzie informs them.  “Her name is River and she will become your Luna” he continues, smiling at River still holding her hand.

“I do not accept her as my Luna! I have the right to challenge her!” a dark-haired woman says and the people around her move further away from her.  “Jean, I” “I accept your challenge” River interrupts McKenzie and stepping forward.

McKenzie goes to say something, but the warning look River throws him stops him.  “Jean, is it?” River asks walking forward as the rest of the pack make a large circle around them.  “You don’t need to know my name” Jean spits “alright then, is this challenge to the death or first blood?” River asks having remembered pack laws, that she has read.
