Sophie hugged him tightly and nuzzled her face into his neck.
"The Leap will help you find them. Send a small group of the unmated males out. They may even find their mates while they are off on their travels."
"Hmmm, you have a good point. I know the twins are starting to suffer for not having their mates. Xander even more so; poor man has been dreaming for years now."
Chapter Sixteen
Adele had never been so happy as Dominic scooped her up off the couch and headed to her bedroom. She traced her fingers lightly over his dark eyebrow, down his straight nose, over his soft lips. The man was so handsome. She couldn't quite believe he was going to be hers alone for the rest of their lives. By the time they made it to the bed, her cheeks were aching from the massive grin that was plastered over her face. As he sat down on the bed with her, she caught sight of the print above her bed.
"That print--it's a photo of you, isn't it?" Now she knew he was her chaton so many things were making sense, little things that had been niggling at her--all the things he'd done that had seemed familiar or feline-ish.
"Yeah, beautiful, it's me in our field. Conner came with me and took the photo." He was looking a little sheepish.
"This is going to sound silly, but can you please shift for me? I want to feel you nuzzle my neck in the real world." She felt like a ditz for asking, but she needed to know his leopard outside of her dreams.
"Love, there is nothing silly about it. And sure, I can shift for you." He stood up with her in his arms before he gently placed her back on the bed with a kiss.
"I need to strip before I shift, or I'll shred my clothes. Hmm, I think it's only fair you strip too." He followed up the request with that cheeky lopsided grin he knew she couldn't resist. She really needed to build up a resistance to that grin.
"You'll need to help please, I can't do much with this cast on." She didn't need to ask twice, and within moments he had her naked and back on the bed. She shuffled over so she sat in the middle. When she looked up, it was to see a very naked, very sexy Dominic staring at her.
"You ready, beautiful?" She couldn't find words, her mouth suddenly dry at the sight of all that muscular flesh before her so she just nodded. His body was engulfed in that same bubble of blue electric energy she had seen in the basement room before his body shifted to that of her chaton. She smiled as she took in the beautiful creature standing before her bed.
"You are more beautiful in reality, chaton." In one lazy leap he pounced on the mattress before her. He landed lightly on his feet, the bed barely making a groan at the added weight. He padded around her, rubbing his soft fur all over her skin. It felt so good and tickled like nothing else. She started giggling. He nuzzled against her cheek and into her neck before the cheeky boy licked her from shoulder to ear with his rough tongue.
"Oh, now, you know how much that tickles!" She sunk her hands into his fur on either side of his massive head. Oh wow, it was so soft. She rested her forehead against his while she closed her eyes and rubbed behind his ears, just how he liked it in her dreams.
"This can't be real, it's just so...it's too much." As if he sensed she needed something to focus on, he shifted his head down, touching his cold nose on her nipple, then he really sent her head reeling by licking up the underside of her breast and over her nipple with his rough feline tongue.
"Ohh, okay, if you're going to start getting me all hot and bothered, you better shift back to Dominic. I don't think I'm ready to be fooling around with a snow leopard--that's a little too much for me to cope with just at the moment."
Moments later Dominic--the man--sat before her. His eyes were hooded and dark with desire.
"You know, I can shift just my tongue. Did you like the feel of my rough tongue, beautiful?"
"Uh-huh" That was about all she could manage to say. He already had her wet and hot. Her mind had gone fuzzy from the hormone overload. He chuckled as he prowled over to her and gently laid her back against the bed. Using his rough feline tongue, he licked, nipped and kissed his way from her mouth down to between her thighs where he settled in and proceeded to show her the best use for such a wonderfully rough tongue.
When he had her boneless and totally spent, he worked his way back up her body to kiss her. He pulled back slightly and whispered a plea.
"Will you let me in your body, my love, with no condom? For the mating, will you let me feel all of you?"
She didn't have to think about that one. She wanted to feel him inside her and wanted to feel claimed by him...and if she got pregnant? Wouldn't that be something, to have this wonderful man's baby growing inside her?
