Craving Red: Paranormal Erotic Retelling of Red Riding Hood (Erotic Kingdom) (11 page)

Dane looked to her, a bewildered expression upon
his face. 
Would that be the only reason she chose me, if she does?  Because
she thinks no one else in her snooty world will take her?

Thinking he simply did not understand, Kaia
expounded, “I am a ruined woman now, my family would shun me if I were to
return, thus I have nothing to return to.”  The manner in which she lowered her
head so that he could not detect the pain in her eyes told him that the entire
matter wasn’t as trivial to her she endeavoured to portray.

He considered it for a moment.  So she was aware
that her family would reject her, but she hadn’t exactly said she wanted to go
with him either.  “So, you don’t want me to take you home.  Then, what do you
want?”  He was going to make her say it if he was to believe it. 

“Dane, do I have to spell it out for you?” Kaia
replied, mildly annoyed.

He nodded his head, playing dumb.  “Yeah, I
guess you do.”

Kaia couldn’t stand the idea that he might be
offering merely out of sheer obligation.  She had to know what he was
thinking.  So she decided to turn the tables on him.  “Why don’t you tell me
what
you
want?”

“What do I want?” he repeated.  He hesitated, creasing
his brow that she had put him in the more susceptible position. 

Kaia’s heart felt as though it stopped beating
while she waited for his answer.

Dane exhaled coarsely.  He wasn’t used to making
himself vulnerable like this.

“Alright, Kaia, I’ll tell you what I want.”  He took
a deep breath.  He had to take a chance.  He had to tell her how he really felt
about her. 

Needing to see her eyes, Dane brought his hand
to her face and gently lifted up her chin.  Her heart melted under his steamy
gaze.  “No, Kaia.  You are
not
ruined.  It is not your fault they have
done this to you.  But now they have paid the price. “Do you know what
I
see when I look at you, Kaia?” 

“No, Dane.  Tell me what you see.” 

“I see the woman who takes my breath away every
time I am in her presence.  The woman whose sweet scent intoxicates me as
nothing ever has.  The woman I love more than life itself.  The one thing that
would mean more than anything in the world, Kaia, is if you’ll love me and say
that you’ll be
my
woman.  Forever.”

With his poignant words, she could no longer
contain the tears which brimmed in her eyes, streaming down her soiled face. 
“Yes, Dane.  I would love nothing more than to be
your
woman.”

Her words jolted his heart, made it feel things
it had never felt before.  But he still didn’t know if he was ready to believe
it.  Believe that someone like her might actually love someone like him.  What
if she didn’t know what she was saying?  The last thing he wanted was for her
to decide to go with him, only to find herself miserable and regret her
decision later. 

“But, one thing you must understand,” Dane
added.  “I cannot provide you the lifestyle you were accustomed to.  Not now. 
Likely not
ever
.  We
will
be poor.”

Kaia had to refrain from laughing.  “Do you
think I don’t realise that, Dane?  I am well aware of the fact that you do not
have some secret stash of money hidden somewhere.  And you know what?  That
doesn’t matter to me one damn bit.  I have already lived that life.  And I know
one thing.  Wealth is worthless if you are not spending your life with the one
person you truly love.”

Holding back the tears which once again
conflicted with his masculine front, Dane smashed his mouth to hers.

upon getting her out of the frigid cold, for thirteen days they travelled south. 
Dane had no idea where they were headed.  He had never been too far from the
camp where he had spent his entire life, and the times when he had, it was
always in his wolf form.  All he knew was that they had to get as far away from
there as possible, away from the danger of ever being tracked down by them. 
And he had to cover as much ground as possible before he was forced to
surrender himself to the effects of the full moon once again.

On the day of the moon, he was lucky enough to
come upon a most amicable old peasant couple with a little farmhouse.  He told
them his wife was sick and he needed to travel on to the nearest village to
obtain a remedy for her.  They were kind enough to take Kaia in for the night. 

Satisfied that she was secure, Dane could feel
the restlessness of his wolf calling to him.  “I’ll return as soon as I can,
Kaia.”  He bestowed her with a long, deep kiss on the lips before turning to
go.

Dane left her and made haste for the wood. 
Unlike what he was accustomed to doing with every one of his prior
transformations, he wanted to get as far away from people as he possibly
could.  He didn’t want to do something he would have to regret.

 
Kaia
missed him the moment he walked out the door.  It astonished her how she had
developed such intense feelings for this man in such a brief amount of time.  She
never thought that possible, at least not for her.  Before she met him, she had
been so reserved, so in control of her emotions.  She had always been the one
shaking her head at other girls’ foolish infatuations over a man.  She never dreamed
she would end up slave to them. 

But she could not deny that they were genuine. 
They were more than that.  Her feelings for him were downright all-consuming.  

With each passing day she could feel the
nauseous-ness growing inside her.  Kaia feared what this might mean.  She hoped
it was merely attributed to the constant travelling and less than ideal living
conditions.  She didn’t want to think about the other possibility.

Though, with having been at the camp the past
few weeks, she had all but lost track of the days.  However, having the time of
the full moon to rely upon for reference, she was not blind to the fact that
her menses should have arrived at least five days prior.  And it was still yet
to come.   Forcing herself to admit the truth of her probable condition only
sickened her more.   The sinking fear of the worst case scenario plagued her
mind. 

She had been impregnated with one of those
monster’s progeny.

Would Dane still want her when he knew that she
carried another man’s baby?  One of
their
offspring?  That is if he
returned at all.  What if he had merely used this time as an excuse to abandon
her?

In the morning, the couple told Kaia they would
be gone for the day to visit family.  When late the next morning Dane returned
for her just as he said he would, Kaia wept tears of relief.

“Dane!  You came back to me!” she cried as he
pulled her against him.  She buried her face in his chest.

“Yes, Kaia, I am back.”  She felt so good.  God,
what had she done to him?  Never had he imagined he would miss her so much in
less than a day’s time.

He possessed a need so deep for her it hurt.   He
had waited long enough.  “I need you, Kaia,” he declared, his voice rough with
his desire.  “
Now
.”

She gasped at his sudden assertiveness.  Then
she rose to her feet, letting the blanket fall from her to reveal her
nakedness.

Dane leaned back, his eyes roving over her, taking in the
sight of the woman he adored more than anything there before him.  Gazing up at
her tenderly, he leaned in towards her, trailing kisses up her abdomen until
once again he was on his feet before her.  Taking her face within his hands
gently, he brought her mouth to his.  As their lips met, he was flooded with
the wonderful realisation that at last she was truly his, and he no longer had
to wait to fully know her. 

And knowing
every
part of her is exactly what he
intend upon doing.

Though her sweet lips he could have kissed forever, at
present he had other pressing long unfulfilled desires.  Leaving her mouth, he trailed
his lips to her chin and slowly along the line of her delicate jaw to the lobe
of her tiny ear.  Upon taking it between his lips, a shiver ran through her,
and he felt her nipples stiffening against him, filling him with a lust so
powerful it threatened to be his undoing.

As Dane suckled lightly upon her earlobe, twirling his
tongue about it, his cock grew harder than it ever had before.  Kaia’s subtle
moans in his ear merely exasperated his worsening condition.  The primitive wolf
side of him craved to throw her down recklessly, to plunge his cock deep into
her straightaway.  However, the human side of him longed to savour every inch
of her his first time making love to the woman he loved. 

And if he wished to maintain his leisurely pace of savouring
her, Dane knew he must stop imagining her ear was instead her clitoris. 
Reluctantly releasing it, he slowly trailed his mouth down her neck, leaving
soft kisses in its path.  Reaching the sensuous lower curve of her neck, he
paused to suckle at it.  Kaia’s breathing ever increasing, it hit his hair, he could
feel her chest expanding, her breasts rising enchantingly with each breath,
tempting him further.

He stepped back to gaze upon her once more, his cock arching
at the gorgeous sight of her bare breasts.  Taking just a moment to bask in the
beauty of them, he leaned in, his mouth showering their curves with kisses. 
Gravitating towards the centre, he reached out with his tongue, circling it
lightly over the petal pink areola, before taking the peaked nipple between his
lips.  Drawing it into his mouth to suckle upon it tenderly, Kaia whimpered
longingly, provoking him to suckle her deeper.

Dane’s cock leapt as the sound of her resulting deep moan
infiltrated his ears, straining against the unfamiliar confines of the fabric, seeking
to be buried within her.  Repeating the treatment upon her other breast, he
endeavoured to resist the ache fast building in his groin which demanded he put
an end to the diversions and claim her once and for all. 

As he left her breast, Dane briefly considered exploring
down the plane of her abdomen with his mouth.  Kaia gasped, and he was certain that
she, too, was anticipating the feel of him sinking into her.  However, she did
not know that he intended on savouring this experience with her for as long as
was possible for a mere mortal man such as himself.

Her eyes followed him pleadingly as he rose to his feet,
gazing down at her as she lay before him in all her glory.  Dane took a couple
steps back in order to give her the full view of him.  He watched in amusement
as her eyes followed every move he made, descending ever lower with his hands
as he maneuvered each button of his shirt slowly.  How he enjoyed seeing her
squirm with delicious anticipation for him.

Exposing his well-defined chest, Dane shrugged it from his
broad shoulders, silently delighting in the hungry look upon her face, the
knowledge that she desired him as much as he desired her.  As his hands moved
lower, Kaia propped herself up on her elbows, a devilish smile tugging at her
mouth.  Painstakingly slowly, he undid his trousers, grinning as he noticed her
trying hard not to squirm.

Once he had them open, Dane let them fall, his released cock
springing forth, beyond ready for her.  Her eyes widening, Kaia gasped, her
lips parting with desire.  Her eyes flitted to his, revealing the lust in them,
and then settled back upon his masculine form.  She sat up to admire him
unabashedly.  He continued to stand still for her to feast her eyes upon.

Finally he stepped forward.  Kaia wasted not a second,
pulling him towards her and taking his generous organ into her mouth.  Dane
leaned his head back groaning, reveling in the fact that he would have to hold nothing
back now.  No guilt, no restraint, just pure pleasure in her love, the unadulterated
lust for her body.

Nearly driving him mad, Kaia assaulted him with her mouth,
sucking voraciously, her tongue seemingly everywhere as she slurped upon his
cock, provoking yet more blood to come rushing into it.  While he had never
doubted having his cock orally doted upon by a woman would feel good, he never
imagined how incredible she would be at it!  To Dane’s dismay, he felt the
beginnings of his ecstasy already collecting deep in his core and knew he would
surely succumb before long if she kept up that pace.  Although when he attempted
to impel her to ease up, she did not listen, instead persisting as a starving she-wolf,
sating her hunger with his meat.

Dane sighed in relief when at last she removed her mouth
from it, for he was swiftly edging closer to the point of no return. 

He knelt before her to worship her breasts.  Kaia opened her
legs wide, her eyes glinting mischievously, and he gazed long at her treasure
there, proud in knowing it…
she
, now belonged to him. 

Dane wanted to dive right in to taste her sex again, her
scent which was roused every time he was near her.  It drove him crazy to know that
he elicited such response in her.

Rather than succumb to his gluttonous impulses to dive in and
devour her, he kissed her passionately to convey his feelings for her.  His
hands travelled down Kaia’s body, one finding her breast, the other continuing
down to her sex.  Kissing his way down to her breasts, suckling ardently, his
fingers explored the soft folds of her sex. 

Before he even parted her, Dane could tell that she was
amply moist.  He brushed the back of his fingers lightly against her swelling
flesh, her labia, delighting in her whimpers and squirming.  He could tell Kaia
was trying to hold back, though he knew she yearned to press herself harder
against his hand.  Finally, he turned his hand over and ran a finger over her
slit.  Her folds parted readily and he felt the heat of her arousal upon his
hand.  He smiled at the flexing of her hips and the resultant groan as she
anticipated him penetrating her.  

Removing his mouth from her breast, she whimpered.  Dane
leaned back a bit, for he wanted to see her, see her opened for him.  Her hand
going to her breast, she massaged her abandoned nipples as he took in the
beauty of her pussy.  He ran his finger over her again, distributing the
slickness, upwards to the swollen nub at the topmost of her sex.  Heatedly, she
gazed into his eyes, pulling him back towards her breasts.  With her hands, she
guided her nipple back to his mouth and he could not help but smile at her sudden
assertiveness. 

As Dane suckled her zealously, his finger alternated between
circling over her pearl, and gliding down her slit to trace her opening.  Each
time he was there, she tried to press against him, urging his finger inside of
her.  Though he, too, desired to feel her from the inside, he did not give in,
so as to drive the need of her arousal to higher levels.  Kaia began clutching him
by the hair, pushing his mouth harder against her nipple, his consequent
chuckle stifled by the flesh of her breast.

“Oh Dane, yes!” she moaned in his ear.

Finally, when he discerned her frustration was at its peak,
after circling her pearl so repetitively that she was panting, Dane aligned his
fingers with her opening and pushed them inside of her.  Kaia arched back,
thrusting her breasts into his face and moaned throatily, “Oh God, Dane!” 

His fingers frolicked in her, massaging the wall of her canal,
making her yearn all the more for what he would soon offer her.  Her breaths were
coming in shorter bursts and he decided it was high time he tasted his woman. 
Removing his fingers, he brought them to her mouth as he held her close and
touched them against her lips.  She parted them and took them in.  Her eyes
grew wide with lust as she sucked her own juices from his fingers.

“Oh Dane,” Kaia cooed at him, making him smile with pride.

Detaching his mouth from her nipple, he kissed his way down
the smooth skin of her belly.  He felt himself salivating as he took in her
scent once more, growing stronger as he inched nearer to her sex.  His thirst
for her grew exponentially.
