23Pierce's mind was a mess. He could feel Autumn's resistance waning and he was growing more and more excited. He at first felt guilty for seducing her and using what little bond they had to help bend her will, but he reasoned that the bond must be completed. If it did not happen soon, both of them would lose their mind. He stayed perched above her, staring at her brazenly. He couldn't tear his eyes away even if he wanted to – they were inching closer and closer to becoming one and it was causing Pierce to become giddy.
Autumn, on the other hand, had a huge conflict growing inside her. Her body was yearning for him – as if it knew its place was by his side. Yet her will, pride and ego were all yelling different things. The part of her brain shouting the loudest was reason, which effectively was shushing everything else. If she were to sleep with him, fully consent to it, would she not be free? It wasn't like she wasn't attracted to him. She had a hard time disguising her attraction to him – he was gorgeous and it was painfully obvious. Physically speaking, Autumn knew he was exactly what she wanted. If she were to sleep with him, she could rationally chalk up everything to just a lack of sex life – the hallucinations, the "visits" in his "castle" …everything. Plus, she could finally fulfill that portion of her life and focus on what was really important – her dog and her studies. If she could quell this little need of hers, and with such a willing man, why not?
"I…" she started. Pierce's gaze did not waver. He was waiting, very patiently by his standards, to hear her say anything akin to yes. He tugged on their small bond, sending her waves of yearning. He needed her, and he knew she needed him too – whether she realized this just yet didn't matter to him. He felt himself grow hot with anticipation. "I…o-ok."
Pierce's lips crashed on top of hers, relief flooding his entire system. He hadn't realized how stressed he was waiting for her answer. He knew even if she had said no he would keep coming around, but her saying yes made it that much easier – and safer. She would soon be his completely, and no one would touch her then.
"You're all mine now. You can't go back from this." He murmured, more to himself than to her. He was soaring; he felt incredibly elated he didn't even know how to explain the feeling. He didn't fully understand how it was possible that she could lift him to such heights, yet he didn't care. This was a feeling she could invoke in him and he was glad he was feeling it at least once.
Autumn mentally rolled her eyes. She felt some strange happiness from him when she consented, however she figured he was just a guy happy to get laid. At the very least, he waited when he could've easily raped her. Not like he didn't in a way take advantage of her, with all those stolen kisses and touches, but at the very least he didn't violate her anymore than that. Autumn's eyes flickered up to Pierce's face, and she noted how serene and pleased he looked. His eyes were closed and his cheeks were flushed. His laboured breathing blew wisps of air on her face. She tenderly kissed him on the lips.
Pierce's eyes flew open at the gesture. It was so small, so timid, and so endearing. He couldn't control himself any longer – any thoughts of letting her rethink her decision flew out of his mind. She kissed him and it was so delicately done it caused all of his willpower to fade. He quickly turned the kiss into a more demanding kiss, relishing the little squeak of surprise she emitted. His hands slipped under her shirt, lifting the hem higher and higher until he found it a nuisance. He tore it apart instead. Autumn tore her lips away in protest.
"Hey! You just ruined my sh-ffm" Pierce didn't care, placing his lips on hers again. He would get a new one – all that mattered was that they were going to consummate their bond.
Autumn's surprise was quickly quelled. The moment he placed his lips on hers again she was a goner. It was a demanding kiss, and she felt all the need he did too. She had no idea where it came from, but she felt so wanted that she just completely gave in. Through lidded eyes, lips still sown together, she placed her hands at his hemline and pulled up and over his head, which he was very eager to help with. She gazed at his chest unabashedly – now she could stare without any embarrassment. She knew what she signed up for, and she was going to enjoy his body. She placed her hands on his chest, relishing all the muscles that flexed when her fingers grazed over them. They were so well-defined. His chest was exactly as she remembered it – screaming with such brute strength yet emanating a warmth she wanted to cuddle in forever. How was that even possible? At the back of her mind, she thought of herself as delusional – her need for sex had made her insane. At least she was going to gain her mind back after all of this.
Pierce's breathing was laboured. Between her touching him and her top half scantily clad, he felt like he was a pile of goo about to burst. He flicked her hands off his chest and lowered himself onto her body, quickly tearing off her bra. Her jeans and underwear quickly followed.
He gazed at her naked body shamelessly. The curve of her breasts rising and falling with each breath was tantalizing. He never realized how erotic the rise and fall was – then again, he never felt like this with anyone before. Her breasts were not large, but they were not small either. They were just enough to fit in his hands and he gently grasped one, kneading it with patience. He traced her pink areola causing her nipple to bloom. He scraped over her nipple with his nail, smirking when he heard her breath hitch, and with it he took the nipple in his mouth, his tongue languidly washing over it. Her groan made him grow painfully hard. He released her nipple from his mouth, skimming his thumb over it while he continued to knead it.
His other hand traced her side down her ribcage, and he revelled in the indent of her waist, and the gentle flare of her hips. He cupped her bottom, letting his hand trail down her shapely legs. They were shaped beautifully for him and his need to have them wrapped around his waist was growing by the second. His hands passed lightly up her legs to her core which he gladly cupped. He heard her take a sharp intake of air and with it he inserted a finger. She was dripping wet, and the smell was invading his senses. He slowly pumped his finger in and out of her. He willed himself to take it slow, at least for the first time. He wanted to taste every inch of her skin, but the need to be in her was quickly winning out.
"Autumn…" He started hoarsely.
"Please – p-please I can't take much more of this. Please I need you." She cried out, her eyes squeezed tight.
Her declaration of need was all he wanted. He removed his finger from her, and took off his pants and boxers. He laid on top of her, his tip right at her entrance.
"This is your last chance Autumn. After this there is nothing left for you to run from."
Autumn was on fire. She wanted- no, needed him inside her. She didn't care about what he was saying. "Please. Please. Please." She whimpered.
"Do you accept me as your mate?"
"Yes!" She cried out. She was desperate at this point. She had absolutely no control. "Yes I accept you as my mate!"
"I accept you as my mate." Pierce's chest rumbled, and with it he plunged into her wet, slicken heat.
Autumn gasped, and her eyes popped open. The immense pleasure she felt from just his grand entrance was not natural. Autumn was not a virgin, and no man made it feel that good. Perhaps he just found the right angle and it was all luck? Whatever it was, she revelled in it. A silky warm heat enveloped her body; the cocoon of warmth around her felt like the home she was longing for. She felt her very soul chirping like birds basking in the morning light. She was happy. She was fulfilled. She was home.
Pierce shuddered involuntarily. It too was nothing he had ever experienced. Her wet heat spread around him. He knew she was the one – not that he had doubts before, but now he could not be mistaken at all. He struggled to remember to breath, as their union was claiming his entire being. He felt his soul binding to hers and giving her all the happiness he knew she was feeling – and in turn he received all the happiness she was giving. Their souls were united and it was the most pleasant feeling he would ever get to experience. If he had known it was going to be so beautiful, he would have searched for her sooner, yet he knew timing was not his choice.
Pierce withdrew himself from Autumn, and re-entered slowly at first. Her soft moans gave him all the encouragement he needed to increase his tempo. He started to move faster, and Autumn raised her hips and met him in the middle, allowing him to drive in deeper. Her actions were driving him crazy, and soon they were moving frantically, searching for that release they both craved in each other.
With a howl, Autumn was the first. She let out a low, satisfied moan, while Pierce reached his just moments after she did. The effect was blinding – neither could see or hear anything. All they could do was grasp at each other, and hold on for dear life as waves of pleasure crashed all throughout their bodies. It was the most gratifying experience they had felt thus far, and neither wanted to come down from the high. Yet Pierce knew, one last step was needed. He plunged his fangs into Autumn's neck, revelling in her being. He drank for a second, and his orgasm only intensified. He pulled himself away, knowing her blood needed to be preserved since she was human. Pierce gathered Autumn's attention, although getting her to focus for long enough was a feat. She hadn't realized he had bitten her! Pierce cut a small cut on his neck and grabbed Autumn's chin. Her eyes were glassy as she was still on cloud 9.
"Autumn, drink from me." His voice was raspy, as he needed the last step to take place. Autumn was so out of focus she barely registered his voice. By now, his blood was starting to seep slowly out of his wound.
"Autumn. Drink." He guided her mouth to his cut, and felt his wound being lapped at. He was pleased she had some kind of focus, but her small tongue licking him was just helping him to unravel. Her moaning returned as he realized his blood was heightening her orgasm. All at once, a flash of white heat shot through the both of them and they could only feel each other's presence binding into just one. It finished as quickly as it started.
Autumn and Pierce were both gasping for air when they slowly regained their senses. It was the most intense feeling, and while Pierce had an idea that their union would be so powerful, Autumn didn't. She wasn't sure what to think now that her senses were returning to her. She turned to her voice of reason, but found it quiet. It did not offer an explanation. Autumn decided for the time being, she didn't want one.
After a few minutes, Pierce withdrew from her with a slight hiss. Even that was pleasurable. Autumn thought they would be at ends with the tension gone, but at the moment she didn't want to delve into the thought. She was feeling serene and she wanted it to last just a little while longer. She was hoping Pierce would hold her just for a bit before he kicked her out – he did, after all, have a really nice chest.
Pierce smirked. So she's a cuddler…excellent. He mused. He loved to hold her close, and was happy to find out she liked being held. Right on cue, he gathered her into his arms with his chest to her back. She molded into his front as if she belonged there- which she did.
He lazily stroked her arm as he held her close, smiling into her hair as they both drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Autumn slowly drifted out of her slumber, snuggling closer to her source of heat. She felt so peaceful and content at that very moment and she wished nothing more than to stay exactly where she were. However, as her mind started to wake up, red bells started ringing in her head. She just realized that she had slept with some random guy that was stalking her. She completely gave in to her physical need. Autumn started to feel bad, but at the same time she was relieved. The sex was really good, and she felt very fulfilled. She figured it would just be a one night stand – now they both got what they wanted, so all she had to do was the walk of shame and she could finish the chapter of blatant sexual need.
Autumn cracked her eyes open and slowly turned her head towards her source of warmth. Even in his sleep, Pierce was gorgeous. Autumn couldn't get over how such a good-looking male could want her so badly as to steal her away. She felt guilty at that moment, and she wasn't sure if it were because she had sex with someone who appeared to be psychotic, or if it were because she was planning on leaving right then. Autumn swallowed her guilt and placed a small kiss on Pierce's forehead. She had enjoyed the encounter and it would not be one she would be forgetting anytime soon.
Autumn
I unlocked my front door, humming lightly to myself. I was in a beautiful mood – my guess was because my body was still on cloud 9 from last night. I was, however, hungry and I knew Ace needed to be taken out and fed. As I opened my door, Ace jumped out at me, hopping in my arms and forcing me to hold him like a child. I rolled my eyes, although I was really glad he was as happy to see me as I was to see him.
"Did you miss me sweetheart?" I cooed. I giggled to myself as I knew Ace couldn't understand me, but he gave a little howl in acknowledgement. He truly was some kind of weird.
I entered my house and forced Ace off of me. Filling his bowl with food, I watched him greedily scarf down all of it. It made me feel guilty – here was my sweet dog, waiting for me to come home and feed him, but I was out fucking some random guy. I reasoned that now I wouldn't be so distracted and could give Ace all of my attention. I ignored my hunger and grabbed Ace's leash.
"C'mon bud, let's go for a walk. You must need to use the washroom!" In an instant, Ace's tail was wagging furiously and he bolted for the door. I laughed and followed suit. It was definitely going to be a long walk.
"You mated and you let her leave!?"
Pierce wince at his father's words. It sounded bad and he knew it. "Relax father, she doesn't know what I am just yet. If I just dump it all on her it would only aggravate her."
"That is precisely why you must explain it to her! Bring her here. I want to meet her. She is my daughter now, I want to see who can handle you." Pierce's father chuckled to himself. He wasn't sure if she was stupid or brave. How she was able to just up and leave after a beautiful night was beyond him.
"I do not understand why you like playing these games, Pierce. What about her? Do you think she enjoys it?"
"She is my prey."
"That was not an appropriate response."
Pierce chuckled darkly. Her disappearance was agony to him. He wanted nothing more than to stop her from leaving the moment she got up from his bed, but he decided to let her leave. He wanted a dark game, and her leaving was just adding fuel to his fire. It had been a few days, but he knew exactly what she had been up to the second she left his embrace.
Autumn was distressed. It had been a week since her union with Pierce. She wasn't sure why she was so bothered by his disappearance. She knew he would just up and leave the moment they had sex. Still, it was so nice to be wanted by someone. She shook her head at the tearing feeling in her heart. Maybe he had moved on to Cindy. Her heart burned at the thought and she scowled. Fuck him.
It wasn't like they were together. It was just a bizarre one night stand. Just one passionate, glorious no-strings-attached night. He clearly didn't care for her, so why was she upset that she didn't receive anything from him? At least he let me orgasm. She chuckled to herself.
Her final exams were behind her and all she had left to do was to relax. She knew she did well. Without any disturbances, Autumn was able to get lost in her studies and soak up as much information as possible. The only interruption was for Ace and for that she was glad. There was only so much she could read.
Autumn was currently cooking dinner for herself, but somehow ended up cooking way too much food. She figured she could just keep it for the next day, or give it to Ace. Speaking of which, she was unsure of where he was. Normally when she cooked, he was in the kitchen hoping to get droppings. She poked her head out of her kitchen and saw Ace staring off into the darkness in her living room with his back facing hers. Autumn rolled her eyes, figuring he saw some headlights from a car passing by. As she started to retreat to her kitchen, she saw Ace's tail start to wag. Autumn paused, narrowing her eyes. When nothing moved, she figured Ace was just being weird.
Autumn placed some food on a plate, and poured herself a glass of wine. She picked it up and walked into her dark living room, placing her load on the TV tray. Ace's tail was still wagging, although faster than before. She just figured he was excited because he might get some droppings then. Autumn moved towards the light switch, flicking it on and turning around. She gasped as her eyes were met with an icy blue.
"Hello love." His voice curled around her soul and lulled it into serenity. She was dumbfounded and at a loss for words. Her mouth hung agape, and she struggled to remember what she was doing. However it all lasted for a mere second as her eyes narrowed and her wits gathered.
"Get out." She spoke lowly.
Pierce smirked. He was extremely glad he had an angry, feisty woman for a mate. He could not be with anyone else.
"Tsk tsk." He smiled cruelly. He stalked around her. "After we shared such a beautiful night you cannot spare me a second glance?"
Autumn's mind was spinning. Was she crazy? "How did you get into my apartment?" She mumbled. She was usually on point with locking her door. Did she somehow forget after taking Ace for a walk? Speaking of which, why wasn't Ace protecting her? She glanced at where her dog was sitting moments before, except he was nowhere to be seen.
Pierce wanted to laugh right then. She had no idea what his true power was. He could go anywhere at any time. A frivolous little lock wasn't going to stop him.
"I let myself into your apartment just as I let myself into you." He murmured into her ear. His hot breath tickled her ear, blowing wisps of hair away from her face. He picked up a coil of her hair and twirled it around his finger.
Autumn knocked his hand away from her. She didn't want her hair to be touched by someone who clearly didn't care for her. "You should leave. That was a nice night but that night has long since passed. I'm sure you can find another bedwarmer." Inside, Autumn was very pleased with her response but aggravated at the same time. She felt a pang of jealousy at her own comment, but she quickly pushed it away. Why get jealous of the truth?
Pierce's smirk grew at the realization of her jealousy. She had nothing to be jealous about, but Pierce was basking in the knowledge that she responded to him the same way he responded to her. It was a glorious feeling. "Speaking of leaving, why did you leave the morning after?" He questioned. That was one aspect he didn't quite understand. He was looking forward to spending time with her, however she was long gone. He figured she might need some space, but her ability to ignore the need to stay near her mate especially after the night they shared was admirable. Stupid, but admirable.
Autumn stuck her nose up slightly. Was he stupid? "I know what a one night stand is. I didn't need you to escort me to the door. I left so it wouldn't be so awkward."
Pierce wanted to laugh. "Did you think I was whispering sweet nothings in your ear?"
"Yes."
Abruptly, Pierce grabbed Autumn by her triceps and brought her just millimeters from her face. He stared directly into her eyes. "You are mine, Autumn, let that be known. The more you deny it the more I will chase you down. You won't last forever, but be aware that I will keep going after you no matter what you do. One day, you will eventually break down, not from a lack of spirit, because your pride will never let live it down, but because you will realize I'm right. And at that point I will possess every part of you, just as you possess every part of me." His voice was a silky, low growl. Autumn nearly soaked right through her underwear at just the sheer tone of his voice, let alone his words.
Autumn narrowed her eyes, ignoring the butterflies in her stomach. "I can't possess you, are you high on drugs?"
Pierce scoffed. She really had no clue. "No Autumn, I am not high on drugs. I think it's time we had a chat."
