"Are you sure?" Curtis asked quietly as the caravan of beasts settled down to sleep that first night.

"Yeah." Chiaki answered, followed by kissing her snake husband. "For some reason, my body doesn't feel like it just popped out five cubs, I'll go slow with him."

Curtis was tense, but he relented. "Fine."

Her mates watched as she headed over to Shuu. After a few short words the young wolf male jumped to his feet. Taking his hand she pulled him willingly into the forest.

"I'm following them!" Skye announced as he started to move.

Qianhuang grabbed him by his hair. "You will stay right here and obey our mates wishes."

Skye winced as he was forced back to the ground. He glared back up at the highest ranking male of the family. After a silent battle of wills, Skye looked away. "I'll stay here."

Shuu couldn't hear anything other than his blood pounding in his ears as the female lead him into the woods, away from camp. Her curvy silhouette against the dimming sky was enchanting. Suddenly her arms wrapped around Shuu's waist, pulling their bodies against each other, her cheek pressed against Shuu's neck.

Chiaki could feel the pulse of the wolf male quicken from her sudden hug. Shuu wrapped his own arms around her shoulders. The woods weren't quite damp, but the smell of soil and decomposing leaves mixed wonderfully with Shuu's own earthy scent. This was the first time she'd been this close to the young wolf.

She felt him swallow nervously. Felt as his body began to be turned on. "I-" He was stopped as a pair of soft lips pressed briefly against his own.

"It's okay, we'll go slowly, we have all night." Chiaki said against his neck

"You're so beautiful." He managed to say. "I want you."

"Wild and untamed?" She laughed. She had forgotten her hair brush in the village, her hair probably looked like a birds nest. "I think you are the more sinful desire here."

Shuu didn't know what 'sinful' meant, but he knew he desired her. The flirtatious words were new to him. A female touching him, softly. Breath against his neck. He didn't know how he hadn't pushed her to the ground yet. Maybe because it was so much different- more- than he'd seen from seeing others mid-mating.

"Just take it easy." Chiaki whispered again, this time pulling away from the now deeply blushing wolf.

Shuu nodded. Slowly he brushed his lips against hers. Hesitating when he felt her tongue run along his bottom lip. Wolves licked each others faces, was this female born from a wolf parent? His momentary mental distraction let Chiaki press their lips together more firmly, finding entrance. Shuu felt her tongue playfully brush against his. He moved his to push back at hers. What an exciting way to kiss!

He was breathless when they parted, but it seemed so was she.

The buckles that kept his armor on was a bit annoying to remove, but eventually Shuu found himself naked as the first day he'd transformed. Chiaki ran her fingers over the orange triangle lines on his face, they looked very good. She planted little kisses to each side of his face before she moved down to kiss his neck, sucking gently over his pulse.

Shuu moaned at her touches. He was mating with a female! But he wanted to touch her too. His hands stroked her upper arms, at first shying away from being too direct. She licked his neck where his pulse was racing to the curve of his jaw. One of his hands moved to catch her chin, and he kissed her.

Her pale pink lips gave him an open mouthed smile. He kissed her again, his free hand moving up her arm where it found the shoulder of her dress. He felt her pull away and opened his eyes to see her leaning back and tugging at the hem of her clothing. Thick thighs, wide hips, the loose roll of her belly showing she'd just given birth not too long ago. It was the most erotic image could could have ever imagined. Her large breasts fell free as the dress first pulled them up then released them to bounce heavily.

He couldn't resist grabbing them with his hands, they were too large for him to cup properly. He sucked on one nipple, while he messaged the other in his hand. A drop of milk welled up between his fingers and he licked it away.

Chiaki discarded her dress to the side, it landed on the pile of Shuu's clothes. He pulled her up onto her knees and slipped his arms around her, hands smoothing down her back. His mouth moved from her breast to her neck, trying to imitate the things he'd felt her do to him. Fingers ghosting over the tiny piece of thin material that covered her.

"Careful." She murmured as he slid her underwear off.

His nose flared at the slight scent of blood that drifted up. She wasn't healed from giving birth. His breath caught as he felt her hand wrap around his member. Slow up and down, a little pressure. He pushed his face to her neck, wanting more of her scent. His hips began to to tremble and he thrust into her hand, taking his pace from her.

His hands slid up her body as she moved away and leaned down, her hand still slowly moving, until his fingers caught in her hair. He looked down at her. She was slowly pumping his length, her other arm holding her up. He tilted her face up to look at him, seeing her dark eyes from this angle was mesmerizing. Then she licked him, lowering her face while keeping their eyes locked.

His hips bucked. That little lick had started this odd tightening feeling in his body. Her hand quickened and he felt her mouth engulf the tip of him. Sweet Beast God, that was amazing!

Chiaki continued to pleasure Shuu, bringing him right to the edge. She slowed her movements, hearing him give a whimper of frustration at being so close and being denied what his body wanted. He found himself being gently pushed backward and let her. "You can't thrust." She said huskily in his ear. Shuu nodded.

He felt her hand grasp him again and she straddled his hips. Slowly she guided him to her entrance and passed it. Shuu grabbed the earth below his hands, not daring to grab at her, less he loose himself and thrust up into her roughly as he wanted. The pace she set was excruciatingly slow at first, shallow. Still it was doing amazing things to his body and he couldn't hold back any longer. He grasped her knees, his fingers bruising her skin as he came.

He didn't even realize he had started thrusting gently upward as she held still, a few more spurts of his seed spilling out each time. He was panting and his head felt dizzy. Slowly his mind returned to him. Chiaki, his mate, moved and he slipped from her body. She lay down on top of him, her own breath ragged. She ran her thumbs over his cheeks again as they lay there, looking at him happily through half lidded eyes. There was a soft glow on one of her hands as his mark appeared.
