“I told Mara and Callista my claiming story,” she announced when she came around the desk and he turned his chair to face her.
His brows went up when she seated herself in his lap and then curled up, her knees bent, feet close to her ass, torso twisted to face him.
“You did?” he asked, his arms wrapping about her small body, surprised at this news.
She shrugged as if it was all the same to her and she hadn’t been guarding this secret for months.
Then her mouth quirked in a smile (something she did a great deal the past month) and explained, “They were relentless.” Then her body started shaking before she went on while laughing, “I think they didn’t believe me though. Apparently, wolves are pretty excited during a claiming and they don’t have the wherewithal to do it in multiple positions the first time.” Her hand cupped his jaw and she brushed her thumb along his lower lip before finishing softly, “I think I’ve made you a legend, wolf.”
He’d been smiling at her as she told her story but at her endearment, he growled before he bent his head and took her mouth in a hard, rough kiss that she returned instantly.
When he lifted his head, she emitted a fluttering sigh, tucked her face in the crook of his shoulder, placed her hand in the center of his chest and rested it there, something else she’d done a great deal in the past month.
His queen, he’d learned through a variety of delightful ways, was fond of his chest.
“I like how you kiss,” she whispered.
“I know,” he whispered back.
She shook her head in his neck and muttered, “So arrogant.”
His arms gave her a squeeze.
She snuggled closer.
He loved these times when she’d come to him after breakfast.
Fuck, he loved every time he was with Sonia.
“Cal?” she called, her fingers toying with his sweater.
“Yes, baby doll?”
“I feel funny this morning.” His arms tightened reflexively at this news and her head came up to look at him. “Not like that,” she said quickly. “No, it’s something else. I felt funny yesterday morning too and the morning before that.” Her eyes went dazed and drifted over his shoulder. “I don’t know how to describe it.” Then she looked back at him. “It’s almost like jetlag, though kind of nauseous but I don’t get sick. It just like, I’m not one with my body somehow.”
Callum’s arms tightened again and he bit back a triumphant howl.
“We’ll get you to a doctor,” he told her.
She shook her head, still looking dazed, her mind preoccupied. “That’s not necessary. I don’t think it’s that bad.”
She’d be right, since she was pregnant with his pup.
She hadn’t had her period since she’d been at the castle. He wasn’t that familiar with humans but he did know they had their cycle monthly, rather than every five months like a she-wolf. And since she’d been there over two months, he reckoned she was at least that far gone.
If not more.
And he fucking loved that idea.
“Humor me,” he ordered, her dazed eyes cleared and she looked at him.
“Bossy,” she muttered but her lips quirked again.
His hands moved on her and her eyes widened in understanding before they got soft.
“Cal, the door is open,” she whispered.
He didn’t fucking care.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Cal –”
He pulled the robe open, exposing her breast.
She sucked in breath.
Bloody brilliant, she was naked under the robe.
His head dropped and he took her nipple into his mouth and, not leading into it, sucked deep.
Her mind clearly no longer on the door, her head fell back and her fingers slid into his hair to hold him to her.
There were a myriad of ways he loved Sonia but one of them was how much he fucking loved how responsive she was.
He lifted his head, yanked the robe away from her other breast and did the same.
She shifted her soft ass against his hard cock, a low moan escaping her arched throat.
His hand went to her knee, pulled aside her robe and slid down the skin of her inner thigh, between her legs to find she was wet, already ready for him.
Always ready for him, his Sonia.
She was perfect.
He touched her, her hips jerked immediately and she whimpered softly.
He smiled against her nipple then sucked deeper.
With his hand between her legs, Sonia arched over his other arm and, his mouth alternating between her breasts, he took her there. He listened as she came quietly (for once). She pulled in a soft breath and held it as he felt her sex clutch the two fingers he had embedded inside her and he rolled his tongue around her nipple as his thumb pressing against her sweet spot prolonged her release.
