14. Kaya
It didn't take long for us to be wrapped up in each other. After we were lying there on the furs. Cade mind-linked me. "Can you always hear everyone?" "Well, I can't hear anyone." I laughed. "But I assume you hear people having sex. We live in handmade tents. They aren't exactly soundproof."
"I guess you're right. Was it weird growing up?" "What do you mean?" "Well, your family had a big tent. I am assuming you all slept there at one point." "Well, until you arrived, I slept in the tent with my family except Quill. Who sleeps in his family's tent."
"So, was that not weird when your parents had sex?" "Not really, they stayed under their furs. Most of the time, I would just be asleep. You just learn to not care. Sometimes, they would go off alone at night, but it wasn't always." "Still."
"I guess it is weird for someone who didn't grow up with it." He made a face. It never occurred to me that it may be weird that I shared a tent with my family and that we all slept in one room. Cade crawled on top of me again. He kissed my lips. I was soft and tender. But it slowly turned to heat.
His hands roamed freely over my bare skin. I liked the feeling of his callouses as they grabbed my breasts. His mouth found my mark, and I felt my body shiver as he kissed it. His hands went between my legs. I knew I had moaned when he began to run small circles over my clit. It was not enough; I needed more. I connected to Cade. "Please." "What is it you want, little mate?" "Fuck me."
He turned me over harshly and pulled my hips so my ass was in the air. He slammed into me, making my body rock forward. He grabbed my hips, slamming into me. I felt his fingers brush over my back entrance. "One day, you will take me here." He had mind-linked me. I had never even thought of doing that. Did others do that where he came from?
I didn't dwell on it too long. Each thrust bringing me closer and closer. Cade was not gentle; he was pounding into me. We finally reached that pinacol point together. He released his seed deep inside me. I knew it was not the time of year I could get pregnant. It only happened every six months, and I had another three to go before that became a factor.
I flopped down on my stomach. Cade pulled out and lay on his side facing me. I mind-linked him. "Have you been with many women?" "Um, why do you ask?" "Well, you are just so good at this." "You are too, you know." "I am?"
"Yeah, so dam responsive." "So, have you been with many?" "A few." I was a little insecure about that, but I tried to not let it affect me. Somehow, Cade knew how I felt. I assume it was because my face must have given something away.
"Just so you know, it is better with you than with any of them. I mean, you are my mate, after all. " I nodded at the response. I took comfort in the fact that I was the best, at the very least. Cade mind-linked me. "So, does anyone here have sex with anyone who is not their mate."
"No. We all wait till we find our mate." Cade just smiled. I looked away when I mind-linked him. "So what did you mean you would take me in the ass." “I will put my cock into your ass." My cheeks ignited, and I knew I was blushing. "What, you never heard of that?" I just shook my head. I didn't know if others did that, but I had never heard about it.
"So, this whale hunt. What is it like?" "I can only tell you what Quill has told me. He says that you spend the first day finding a pod, at least where they are hunting. Then you camp. Then, the second day, you kill it with spears and stuff. Then you drag it in. On the third day, you start cutting it up to bring it back to here. When you bring it into shore, one of the men runs back to tell us, and we all go help." "So that takes three days."
"Sometimes two, sometimes five. It depends on when you find the pod and how fast you can kill one." "Seems easy enough.""The hardest part would be not falling in the water. That can be treacherous. I should know." "I wanted to ask you about that." "What about it?"
This was a sensitive subject for me. It was the day my life changed, and I lost the chance at a normal life. "Well, um, what exactly happened. I mean, Quill said you fell through the ice and were 6 at the time."
"Yeah, I was six. I had wandered out on the ice shelf. I remember wanting to see the whales that come into the bay sometimes. While I was out there, I fell through the ice sheet. It had been getting warmer, and the ice had thinned out in spots."
"Once I went under, the current pulled me out. I don't know how I broke out of the current or how I pulled myself back onto the ice, but I did. I made a dash for safety, and as I ran, the ice gave way, but somehow, I outran it."
"I had gotten extremely cold water in my ears, damaging them. I was in a lot of pain the first year, so at 7, they did the tattooing, which helped alleviate the pain." "I am sorry." "It is what it is. On the bright side, my other senses are extremely heightened. It is why I am the best tracker and one of the best fighters." "What do you mean?"
"Well, for example, I first smelt you half an hour before you arrived when we first met at the party. And when I fought Annalise. I felt the vibrations in the air before she hit me. I knew it was coming." "But you took a lot of blows. Why didn't you block?" "I could take it. I know how to live with pain. Allowing her to get close enough to hit me gave me just as much space to hurt her. Then it was a game of who could outlast."
"Well, I have never seen anyone fight like that. It was pretty dam impressive." "Thanks." I went in and kissed him. I moved over and snuggled up close to him. He nudged me, indicating he wanted to do more, But I knew he needed to get some sleep. He would have to be getting up in a few hours.
"Sleep, you need sleep. You will be gone in a few hours." I moved away for a second. I needed to snuff out the oil burning in the small tent. I put out the fire and moved closer to my mate. He was so much larger than I was. He made me feel safe in his large arms. I closed my eyes and snuggled up close to him.
