I lean over and dig my nails into his shoulders to hold on as he thrusts up to meet my downward movements.
I’m soaking wet and his cock slides impossibly deep with each thrust. When he lifts his hips and hits that sensitive spot deep in my core, an intense orgasm overtakes me.
He wraps one large hand around my hip and uses the other to pinch and soothe my nipples. Once the tremors subside, I roll my hips, dragging him deeper into my pussy as he grips my hip tightly and uses his hold to drag me down to meet his rapid thrusts.
He pounds up into me frantically and I barely keep up. Out of nowhere, another mind-blowing orgasm blasts through me. My intimate muscles clamp down on his erection, dragging him with me.
As warm wetness fills my core, I wonder if my hot bear shifter is knocking me up.
Chapter 9
Kodi
All too soon, the real world intrudes on our oasis. We’re sitting at the breakfast bar eating lunch when I get a call from Kol. “I have a lead on the case.”
I frown as the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. “Okay. Are you on your way here to explain?”
“It would be better if you come to me.” I glance over at my mate and see the worry filling her bright blue eyes.
“Okay. I’ll be at your cabin in an hour.” I need to get this shit figured out so I can concentrate on knocking up my mate.
“Actually, meet me at the office at five o’clock. I have everything here already.” My inner bear wakes up and rumbles under my skin, Something’s off.
No shit, Sherlock, I return as my mind races trying to figure out how to handle this. Although I know my home is safe and secure, I can’t stomach the thought of leaving my mate here alone.
“Okay, I’ll be there.” I hang up and pull up the remote security feed from the office and find it empty. Motherfucker.
I text the burner phone to test out my theory.
Me
Code check
It’s a private message only Kol will know.
Orc
WTF?
Me
Give me your code
Orc
The fucking rats with wings shit on my truck.
Okay, I know for sure it’s my second-in-command who’s on the other side of the texts. We each picked out a phrase that would let the other know we weren’t compromised. Of course, the Orc would choose that one since pigeons are constantly using his vehicle as a public bathroom.
Me
Did you just call me?
Orc
Hell fucking no.
Me
Our little friend is getting more inventive. I just had a conversation with someone who sounds remarkably like you.
There’s a few minute pause and I’m wondering what’s going on.
Orc
Small world. I just talked to you on my regular cellphone. I’m guessing you don’t really want me to remotely change the security code on your home system.
Me
Motherfucking son-of-a-bitch.
Orc
You can say that again. How do you want to proceed?
My mind races with options. Obviously, my mate’s stalker is getting resourceful. I’m guessing he’s somehow recorded Kol’s and my voices and he’s using AI trying to trick us.
My home is safe, but this asshole is more creative than I’d originally thought. There’s no way I will trust anyone else to protect my mate, so I’m taking her to the only place that I know is safer than my home, the Orc settlement.
Me
I’m bringing my mate to your cabin, and then we’re going find this asshole once and for all.
Orc
I have a better idea. Why don’t I bring my two brothers to you, and they can stay with your mate while we take care of the problem. My Orc brothers will protect her with their lives.
Me
Perfect. There’s no way he’ll get past my security and your brothers.
Orc
Do you want me to contact anyone else in the company and inform them of what’s going on?
Me
No. I’m not sure if our pain in the ass has hacked their shit.
Orc
I agree. We’ll be at your home in an hour.
Me
Thank you.
Briella doesn’t even blink when I tell her to get ready for company.
After she throws on black yoga pants and an oversized t-shirt, I sit her down and explain the situation. “Your stalker is getting creative. He’s somehow cloned my voice and Kol’s voice, and I’m not sure who else he’s going to try.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Since I can’t figure out his game plan, I’m playing this close to my chest. Kol is an Orc prince.” Her eyes widen and nearly pop out of her head.
“Orc? Like the giant green guys with tusks and horns?”
Orcs aren’t the most handsome of creatures, and they’re mostly shunned in human society. In fact, they mostly stay to themselves on their private settlements. After getting to know Kol, I realized Orcs are completely misunderstood. The intelligent and loyal beasts live to protect and love their families.
“Yes. Except they don’t have horns,” I explain. “Kol and I are going to work on getting rid of your stalker while his two brothers protect you.”
