“We don’t have to. This was about pleasing you.”
She bit her lip and adjusted her leg, digging her heel into his ass cheek. “I want you inside me. I like when we’re one.”
That was a perfect way to put it. He lowered and adjusted his hips until his cock brushed against the vee of her sex. He found the right spot and pushed, slowly entering her. He had to close his eyes, the sensation too intense to do anything but enjoy how good it was to mount his female.
Candi raked her fingernails over his skin, along his back, causing him to growl. He sank into her deeper, loving the way her body held him, fit him. Her lips brushed his throat and she moaned.
“My pup. I love you so much.”
He forced his eyes open to stare down at her. He didn’t care that she called him that. It had once been a source of pain, but now, once again, it was the endearment that it had always been. “My funny-faced human.”
She chuckled. “You love my tiny nose, and that I can’t hurt you with my flat teeth.”
He grinned back. “I do.”
She moved her arms from his shoulders to hug him around his ribs. Her fingernails raked down his spine, all the way down to the curve of his ass. He growled, driving his dick into her deeper. Candi moaned in response. He moved slowly, gently, taking his time.
He kissed her throat, arched his back and lightly bit her shoulder. He used his lips, tongue, and fangs to bring her pleasure. She finally grabbed his face, pulling it toward hers. He kissed her lips, deepening it when she opened up to him.
He taught her how to kiss. She was a fast learner, and he couldn’t hold back anymore. He pounded in and out of her, pinning her in place. He realized he should remain gentle but she encouraged him with verbal moans and choppy words. Her pussy clamped tightly around his driving shaft and he broke the kiss to clench his teeth together, fighting not to come until she did. He pressed his lower belly against her sex, making sure to rub up against her clit.“Yes!” she yelled, her body shaking.
Hero gave in to the desire and had enough presence of mind to roll them onto their sides as he let go of his control. He held his Candi close, his body trembling and shaking from the aftermath of spilling his semen into the condom. She nuzzled her face against his chest and he smiled when she chuckled.
“I love sex.”
“I do too. Am I hurting you? I am locked inside you from the swelling that happens at the base of my shaft. I told you about that.”
“You feel amazing, and there’s no pain. Sex is so good because it’s us having it together, isn’t it?”
He stroked her back. “Yes.”
She grew silent in his arms and he adjusted enough to look down at her. She kept her chin down so he slid his hand under it, tilting it up. There was a look in her eyes that he didn’t like.
“What is it?”
“Nothing.” She glanced away.
“Don’t do that. We don’t lie to each other. Did I hurt you?”
“No. It isn’t that. I was just thinking about something, but I don’t want to upset you. I think it would.”
“You can talk to me about anything.”
“Not this.”
He gently rolled her onto her back when the swelling receded, and lifted up. “I have to throw this away. I’ll be right back.” He hated to withdraw from her body but he had taken the class about condoms. They’d shown the males how to put one on, and that they needed to remove it and throw it away before their dicks softened or it could slip off, defeating the purpose of wearing one in the first place.
He tossed it into the bathroom trash and quickly washed his hands before returning to Candi. He sprawled out next to her on his side and stared into her eyes. “Something is on your mind. Talk to me. We shouldn’t have secrets.”
She bit her lip.
“Candi,” he growled. “Speak. Something bothers you. Share it with me and we’ll face it.”
“I was just thinking about how good sex is between us. I wondered if it was that way between you and other females.” She paused, studying his eyes. “I didn’t enjoy sex the one time I had it with that feline. Are you angry that I was thinking about that?”
“No.”
“You withhold so much from me, being protective. I don’t have the experience other females have. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“No.”
“I only have one bad experience to compare against what we do together. You must have many good memories. I don’t have experience with sex like the females you must have known. I liked your kiss, but it was my first one. Did I do it right? Do you wish I knew more?” 
That frustrated him. It wasn’t directed at her. He had to calm down before he looked at her again. He regretted that his emotions had surfaced as soon as he saw the tears in her eyes. He’d somehow hurt her.
“We share love and it makes everything we do special. I like that I get to be the first to show you how to kiss, and what it feels like to put my tongue on you. It’s the way it should have been.”
“You’re not just saying that to make me feel better?”
“I feel more for you than I have for anyone else, or ever will. That is the truth, Candi. There is no comparison, and I am not thinking about anyone but you when we touch. You please me the most. Never question that. I wish you could forget about that feline. I am trying very hard to.”
“I can do that.”
“There’s no need for you to worry about other females, or if you please me.” He stroked her cheek. “I wish I could change the past, but it’s done. You are my everything, Candi. That’s all you need to know and remember.”
“It’s foolish to be jealous, isn’t it?”
“I understand. I want to kill the feline. I’m adjusting to it, or otherwise I’d ask you to look at photos of all the feline males who were freed from Mercile to see if that male is still alive.”
“You thought about doing that?”
He nodded. “He had no choice, nor did you. The reasonable side of me knows this. You saved my life. I don’t ever want to know if he is alive and surviving. I’d be too tempted to kill him anyway just because of my jealousy.”
“You’re all I’ve ever wanted.”
“That’s how I feel too, Candi.”
“I’ll stop worrying then.”
“Good. You’re my mate, my female, and you are my everything.”
Chapter Ten

Hero leaned against the counter, his arms crossed over his chest, and grinned. Candi looked happy as the three females taught her how to cook a steak in a cast iron skillet. Sunshine, Bluebird and Midnight had arrived at the men’s dorm and taken over their kitchen. He stayed out of their way, but kept close.
“The pan is very hot,” Bluebird warned. “Use the glove when you touch the handle.”
Sunshine nodded. “I burned myself at least half a dozen times because I kept forgetting that.”
“And I treated her injures every time.” Midnight chuckled.
Movement at the edge of his vision had him turn his head. Torrent smiled at him and leaned against the counter next to him. “Your female looks a lot healthier. She’s got more color in her complexion.”
“She does.”
“The females are eager to help her. They have started a campaign to have us talk you into moving to the women’s dorm so they have easier access to your Candi. They’ve sworn to take over our dorm if you don’t.”
That news made him frown.
Torrent laughed softly, keeping his voice low. “Don’t worry. We like them invading our space. No one is going to ask you to move. You should have seen all the males who volunteered to clean early this morning once word spread that they planned to use our kitchen today. There were two dozen of us down here.”
“You too?”
“Who doesn’t want to impress our females? We’re also competitive. We wanted our living spaces to be cleaner than theirs. They always tease us about all the male hormones they smell when they come here.”
“I’m sorry for all the extra trouble everyone had to go to.”
“Don’t be. It was fun. The females plan to teach yours how to use household cleaning appliances too. Expect a bit of a crowd for that. Word has it that some of them are afraid of vacuums. We’re placing household chore-trading bets on whether that’s true or not, and who has that fear.”Hero chuckled. “I see. What chore do you wish to get out of?”
“It’s my turn to clean the main-floor bathroom on Wednesday morning. I bet Jinx that they’d hide their fear, if it exists, from your female. He thinks they won’t be able to. He’ll have to clean the bathroom if I’m right, and I’ll get to take over his chore of pulling weeds around the building on Thursday.”
“What if he’s right?”
“I have to clean the bathroom again next week when it’s his turn on Monday and he’ll have to dust the library for me on Tuesday.”
“I’m supposed to mop the kitchen floor tomorrow.”
“It’s a good thing we’re only assigned one lower floor chore a week.”
“There are a lot of us. The females probably have more chores.”
“That’s probably why they want you to move with your female into their dorm.” Torrent grinned. “I can guess who would end up moving all the furniture and vacuuming under it.” He pointed at Hero. “You.”
