BK 5 - Chapter 42 - Marking Buddy
Looking at Maxie lying on his bed, Buddy finally understood what his dad had always felt for his mom. It was more than desire. It was the feeling of knowing you would do whatever was necessary to be with that person. He never wanted her to shed a tear or even frown. She may not need protection because she's a lion, but he was glad he was becoming a lion, too, so he could be her partner for the rest of his life.
"I know we're both virgins, but I believe we have to at least be touching for this to work," Maxie said with a smirk. She was overwhelmed by the emotion she had seen in his eyes when he looked at her. It was the same thing she saw in her dad's eyes when he looked at her mom or Grandpa Trey's eyes when he looked at Grandma Cat. It was love. She knew then that Buddy wasn't just saying what she wanted to hear. He already cared for her.
"You're so beautiful it takes my breath away. We may have just met, but I'm already in love with you." Maxie got off the bed and stood in front of him even though he had just made her knees weak.
"I'm in love with you, too. Now make love to me, or Cali may take over and toss you onto the bed." She said, rubbing her hands under his shirt. Buddy took her in his arms and kissed her hard. Their need for one another took over, and before they knew it, their clothes were in a pile on the floor. Maxie stepped back to take in Buddy's hard, muscular body. He put his hands on her hips and slid them around to cup her firm, round bottom. Maxie ran her hands over him, and he couldn't take it anymore. He lifted her up and kissed her while laying her back on the bed with her legs wrapped around him.
"Do we need protection?" He asked against her lips even as his penis was resting between her thighs, ready to slide inside.
"No. I'm a werelion, so I can only get pregnant when I'm in heat." Maxie replied, shifting slightly, wanting to feel him inside her.
"What happens when you go into heat?" Buddy asked. Looking down into her eyes.
"I will get hot and need lots of sex. You and I will be in bed for about three days." She answered him. Buddy chuckled and kissed her.
"I like the sound of that. Will this hurt because it's your first time?" The last thing he wanted to do was cause her any pain. He's wanted to take things slow, but right now, he just wanted to be buried in her.
"Not like a human. We heal faster than humans." Maxie was aching for him to get started, but he still didn't move.
"When will you mark me so I can be like you?" Buddy was ready to be tied to her in every way possible.
"I can do it whenever you're ready. You'll be sick for about a day while your body changes." Buddy kissed her and slid his tongue into her mouth but didn't move inside her like she wanted.
"Do it now. I want to start the transition right away so you'll be mine forever." Maxie froze and looked into his blue eyes.
"Are you sure?" Cali purred loudly inside her.
"I'm positive. Are you ready to mark me?" He began worrying that she was having second thoughts. Maxie pulled his face to hers and kissed him.
"Yes. It may hurt for a second, but it will go away. I'll bite you while you slide inside me." She said.
Buddy lowered himself on her so she could reach his neck while moving inside her like she wanted. Maxie felt a slight pain, but as she bit into his neck, it was quickly forgotten. Buddy felt her deep inside him, releasing the venom that would make him a lion. When she pulled out, he was buried in her as deep as he could go.
"How do you feel?" She asked, looking into his glassy eyes. Buddy smiled as he slowly began moving his hips.
"I feel phenomenal. How about you?" Maxie tightened her legs around him and began meeting his thrusts.
"I feel great, but you need to pick up the pace." He didn't need to be told twice. They were both ready to burst, so after only a few minutes, they climaxed together. Buddy collapsed next to Maxie. She shoved him over on his back and straddled him.
"I hope you don't think you're done already." She said, taking his penis in her hand and making him instantly hard again.
"Not by a long shot," Buddy replied while she lowered herself onto him. He definitely thought having her straddle him was the best position. He planned to make Maxie's night unforgettable. Maybe it would help her grief over losing Grandma Valerie.
The next morning, when they woke up, Buddy was already feeling the effects of being marked. However, he wasn't going to let that deter him. The family was meeting at the family home for breakfast, and he wanted to be there to support Maxie.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay here?" She asked. Maxie turned her phone on after charging it so she could ask her mom to bring her some clothes.
"I'm sure. I want to see everyone, and I want to be there for you." Buddy got out of bed and was determined to go even though he felt like he had the flu. Maxie smiled and called her mom.
"Hello?" Carmen answered.
"Hi, Mom. I have some news for you. Last night, my tire blew out, and I was in an accident, but before you freak out, I'm fine. The best part is a man saw the accident and came down to help me. Mom, he's my mate." Maxie smiled at Buddy, and seeing her face glow made his symptoms feel better.
"What? You were in an accident and didn't call me?" Carmen asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, but I'm fine," Maxie replied, rolling her eyes. She was a werelion, so the car was the only thing that got hurt.
"That's incredible you found your mate. Is he nice? Did you tell him about you?" Carmen asked cautiously.
"Yes, I told him about me, he accepted me, and I already marked him. When I had him meet Cali, my clothes were shredded, so can you bring me some clothes to his house? He lives right down the street from the family home." Maxie asked.
"I'll bring you clothes. What's his name?" Carmen asked as she looked in her closet for something for Maxie to wear.
"Buddy Grant." She answered as she put on Buddy's blue T-shirt. She didn't think she should answer the door naked.
"Buddy Grant, as in the actor?" Carmen looked at Patrick in concern. She didn't want her daughter mating with some Hollywood star who wouldn't show her any respect.
"Yes, the actor. He actually knows Grandma Cat and Grandma Valerie. He knew Emma and Roger, too, when he was younger. His mom and dad died in a plane crash a few years ago. So whatever you're thinking, stop. He's coming to breakfast with me even though he feels like crap." Maxie put her arms around Buddy and smiled up at him. She knew her mom was only watching out for her.
"Okay, if you say so. What's his address?" Carmen asked, pulling out a pair of jeans and a sweater for Maxie. They were close to the same size, so they could wear each other's clothes. Maxie gave her Buddy's address and then hung up.
"At least you already know some of the family, but just to warn you, the men are very protective of us females, so they will probably ask you thousands of questions. Not that it will matter because I already marked you." Buddy chuckled. He would take whatever they threw at him to be with his lioness.
An hour after Carmen and Patrick had brought her clothes and met Buddy, they drove to the family home. Maxie and Buddy rode in the back seat with her sixteen-year-old brother, James. He kept sizing Buddy up. He was a fan of his movies, but I didn't want to let him know.
"So, what are your intentions with my sister?" He asked. Maxie looked at him in disbelief.
"He's my mate. What do you think his intentions are?" She asked while Buddy tried not to laugh.
"I just want to make sure he's not trying to use you to help his career," James said, and everyone burst out laughing.
"Yeah, I'm sure the woman who works in group homes will help the career of the movie star," Maxie replied. James shrugged.
"You never know what people's true intentions are," James said, looking at Buddy through narrowed eyes.
"I promise I just want to love your sister for the rest of my life," Buddy said seriously. Maxie saw her dad and brother exchange a look as they pulled into the gate of the family home. When they stopped in the driveway, she saw most of the men in the family waiting for them.
"What's this?" Maxie asked.
"Nothing. We just need to have a talk with your mate," Her dad replied. Buddy looked at all the big men waiting and swallowed past the dryness in his throat. He suddenly felt sick, and it had nothing to do with being marked.
