Berrr's Vow (26 page)

“Bow down?” Shanna frowned.

“It is Zorn custom for a woman to go on her hands and knees before a male.”

Biting back a cuss word, Shanna gave a nod and turned to face Berrr. He was frowning deeply as their gazes locked. His attention turned briefly to her injured shoulder and arm where Alluwn had clawed her. Shanna started to slowly walk toward him and resisted taking a look at her injuries herself to see if she was bleeding much.

Berrr’s hands were fisted at his side when she stopped a few feet in front of him to gaze up into his still-angry features. Nervousness hit her hard.
What if he refuses to bound to me?
I’ll kill him without doubt
, she thought as she slowly lowered herself on her hands and knees, never looking away from him.

Berrr didn’t move at all except for the rise and fall of his chest. Shanna wanted to snort at the irony of this moment. She never thought she’d bow before a man, had told Berrr she’d never do it but here she was doing exactly that.
If I didn’t love him so much there’s no way I’d this,
she thought,
but I do love him
. Her eyes locked with his beautiful gaze as he stared back down at her.

“I am requesting to be your bound,” Shanna said softly. “I don’t know the official words but—”

“I accept you as my bound,” Berrr growled, suddenly moving as he bent to grip her arms to gently help her to her feet and then he was hugging her to his chest, lifting her completely into his arms. “Someone get a healer now.”

“She’s just unconscious,” Shanna muttered into his chest. “I didn’t kill her. She’s the mother of your children for God’s sake. I wouldn’t—”

Berrr growled. “I want a healer to see to you.”

Shanna relaxed in his arms, a smile curving her lips.

A deep male chuckle sounded behind Berrr. Vinlotti patted his friend’s back. “I am glad she won, my friend. Remember that I protected her until you got home.”

Berrr turned his head, staring at his friend. “My vow to you, the first human stray I come across is yours.”

“I want one like her.”

Berrr turned his head, staring into Shanna’s eyes. “There is no one as wonderful as my Shanna but I will do my best to send you one at least worthy of you, my friend.”

Shanna’s heart melted again.
Damn, I love my sexy alien.

“Berrr,” a female growled the words. “Order them to release me so I can kill her.”

Shanna tensed, turning her head. Alluwn was awake and being held by two of Berrr’s guards. The woman looked furious as her dark angry glare locked with Berrr’s, totally ignoring Shanna and the other people around them.

“You will be sent to Arlion.” Berrr glared at her. “It is better than you deserve but you are the mother of my offspring. They will treat you well there.” His gaze shifted to Shanna. “It is where unstable women are sent. She will be far from us and will remain there for the rest of her life.”

“Don’t do this, Berrr,” Alluwn snarled. “If you choose a human over me I will make certain that you will suffer greatly. Your sons will pay the highest price if you do this.”

“They will understand what I have done and if they wish to see you, they may.” Berrr turned away, carrying Shanna for the house. “Take Alluwn away now.”

“Berrr!” the woman roared. “I’ll make you suffer for this!”

He kept walking. “You already have by injuring my Shanna. I will never see you again, Alluwn. You can’t harm anyone where you are going.”

 
Chapter Fourteen

Shanna smiled at Berrr. “I told you that I’m fine.”

The female Zorn healer, Ahhu, nodded at Berrr. She’d bandaged the shoulder and the arm scratches, given Shanna something for the pain and pushed her shirt back down her arm. “The cuts from Alluwn’s nails bled a lot but your human needs no surgery and the swelling from the impact of the punch is not much. The bruises will be bad but nothing is broken.” The woman put things back into her bag. “I will leave you now.” She nodded, backing away from Berrr’s bed to leave the room quickly.

Staring up at Berrr, Shanna slowly sat up, turning on the bed to face him sitting cross-legged. “You can stop scowling now and being pissed off. I won, Alluwn can no longer hurt either of us and we’re getting bound.” She smiled at him. “So do we get a ceremony or what? I don’t have to do anything really weird, do I?”

“You could have been killed. Alluwn underestimated you and didn’t attack you with force so you were able to get in some good hits that brought her down. She was toying with you. Do you know how fortunate you were? I told you to take her out when she was down the first time but you ignored my order and allowed her to get up to hurt your shoulder and arm. If she had hit you harder, gotten the advantage, I would be burying you.”

He was still really pissed off and Shanna knew that she’d gotten lucky. She didn’t need him to point it out to her but he was obviously not going to let this go easily. She moved on the bed, getting to her knees. Her gaze locked with his as she reached for her shirt, slowly lifting it over her head. She tossed it to the floor and reached for the waist of her pants. Berrr’s gaze lowered to her bared breasts.

“What are you doing?”

“Distracting you.”
She shifted on the bed, climbing off it to shove down her pants in the process, and kicked them away. Standing totally naked just feet from Berrr, she turned, presenting him with her back, and walked to the bed. She put her hands on it, bending over, and spread her feet a good foot apart. She turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. “Is it working?”

A soft growl came from
Berrr,
his full attention fixed on her bent ass and exposed pussy. He moved, his hands reaching for his shirt. She watched him tear it open, yanking it down his arms to expose that muscled chest and arms of his, her appreciative gaze taking in every inch of him he revealed. The guy was just beautiful and perfect.

He nearly tore open the front of his pants, freeing his very hard and erect cock. He didn’t bother to kick off his boots or remove his pants all the way. He walked the few feet that separated them, his hands reaching for her hips but he stopped inches from touching her, his hands hovering while their gazes locked together.

“You’re hurt.”

“It’s no big deal. I hurt for you more.”

“Get on the bed on your back now and spread your legs.”

Shanna rolled on the bed onto her back and then tried to scoot more
center
on the mattress but Berrr’s large, hot hands suddenly gripped her hips, dragging her ass to the edge of the bed. She stared up at him, surprised, expecting him to get on the bed with her instead of yanking her body closer to where he stood. He moved suddenly, dropping to his knees as his hands left her hips to grip her thighs, spreading them, exposing her pussy to his view.

“There is no ceremony for bounding.” Berrr leaned forward, turning his head to kiss her inner thigh. He opened his mouth, letting his tongue trace her skin upward, inching for her pussy. “Only a bound woman can take her warrior’s seed into her body. You’ve been mine since the first time I mounted you, my Shanna. Now it is just official.”

Berrr shifted her legs, putting them over his shoulders so her calves ran down his back as he inched closer to her, his mouth so near her clit that she could feel his hot breath. Her heart started to pound knowing what he was going to do to her and her body responding full force.

“No more fighting for my woman,” Berrr said softly, his gaze lifting to meet hers. “Vow to me now that I will never have to worry about you getting killed again.”

“Hey, none of this was my fault. I didn’t ask to be attacked by your house helpers and I didn’t ask for Alluwn to try to use me to get back at you, leaving me no choice but to fight her.”

“I want your vow for no more fighting.”

“I can’t promise that. What if—”

Berrr lowered his face, his hands slid on her thighs on the inside, holding her legs wide open as his thumbs spread her labia. His mouth lowered, opening, and then he was licking at her clit. Pleasure hit Shanna instantly at the wonderful sensation of his thick, wet tongue lapping at her sensitive nub.

Her fingers fisted the bedding. “That feels so good. If you think you can seduce me into promising you—”

A moan tore from her, cutting off her words, as Berrr pushed his thumb into her pussy, his lips closing over her clit, sucking on her while his strong tongue slid back and forth across the sensitive flesh trapped in his mouth.

“Oh God.”

Berrr growled, his mouth vibrating against her clit. Shanna tensed, arching her back, and moaned louder. Her fingers clawed at the bedding, fisting it, releasing it, and then dug in again. The man was amazing with that mouth and his thumb was inside her rubbing right against her G-spot. Pleasure washed through her, making it nearly impossible for her to think. She bucked her hips, wiggling them in tune to his moving thumb, moaning louder.

“I’m not going to last,” she panted. “You’re too fucking good at this.”

He growled louder, vibrating harder, his tongue gliding up and down on the magic spot on her swelling clit, ecstasy flooding her until she wasn’t sure she could take it. The pleasure turned to near pain, the sensations that raw and strong, but Berrr held her in place with his strong hands, ignoring the pressure against the side of his head as she tried to close her thighs to make him release her.

“Berrr, I can’t take it.” She moaned, wiggling against the comforter, not even caring that her injured shoulder rubbed on the bed. “Oh fuck.”

The climax was brutal in intensity when it rushed through her. Her inner vaginal muscles started to spasm around his still-moving thumb, her release flooding her pussy with warm wetness, a cry tearing from her lips. Berrr released her clit with his mouth, lifting his head.

Shanna forced her eyes to open when long seconds later she recovered enough to realize Berrr was still gripping her, his thumb still inside her but he had gone totally still. She met his gaze, staring at him while he stared back.

“Give me your vow, my Shanna. If you do not I will keep doing this until you beg me to stop. I will tie you to my bed if that is what it takes, tying your legs open so you can’t stop me until you will swear to do anything I want.”

Arching an eyebrow, Shanna couldn’t hold back the laugh. “Is that supposed to be a threat? Honey, I’m not Zorn. I love multiple orgasms. If you want to make me come half a dozen times that is something I’d want to provoke you into doing.” She grinned at him. “Tie me up and lick me to death. Go ahead.”

Berrr’s beautiful eyes narrowed, obviously not amused at her taunt. “You say that now but imagine how sensitive you would be.”

“Imagine how hard I’d come and how often.” She winked at him, knowing she was baiting him but damn did he turn her on. She wouldn’t mind Berrr licking her within an inch of her life. “You suck, literally, at threats but in the best way.”

Amusement softened his eyes and his lips curved just a little upward. “I am being serious, my Shanna.”

“Me too.”
She winked at him.

A chuckle escaped him as he rose up slowly, his thick, aroused cock jutting straight out. Her gaze lowered to stare at that part of his anatomy. She licked her lips, sitting up, and put her hands on his lower stomach, pushing him back just a bit. He took a step back, almost tripping on his pants around his ankles where his boots held them trapped.

Shanna rubbed his skin, enjoying the feel of soft flesh with tight muscles underneath. One hand lowered to cup his heavy balls. She loved their satiny texture and the weight of them. Her other hand brushed the underside of his cock, rubbing the wonderful mixture of the softness of skin over a stretched-tight, amazingly stiff Berrr. Similar to the man himself in personality, his sex drew her full attention and admiration for how soft and yet hard he could be at the same time.

A soft growl came from Berrr. “Your hands feel so good and I love when you touch me.”

Licking her lips, Shanna wet them and then lowered her head, adjusting him in her hand to level up with her mouth. Her tongue found that wonderfully unique Zorn hard patch on the crown of his cock, her tongue darting out to lick it. The pre-cum that beaded it tasted of
a sweet
, sugary syrup. She loved the taste of him. Her tongue swirled around the thick tip a few times before she took all of it into her mouth.

He purred for her, his fingers brushing her neck, as he held very still while she worked him deeper into her mouth. One of his hands slid down her throat to the curve of her uninjured shoulder and then delved lower to her breast, cupping the entire mound in his hot palm. The rougher textures on his skin rubbed across her nipple, hardening it instantly. Shanna moaned around him in her mouth.

“My Shanna,” Berrr growled.

She understood his tone and the way he said her name, knowing that he was enjoying what she was doing to him as she sucked and licked at him, withdrawing until he almost left her mouth and then moving her head, taking him deeper inside with each movement. She tilted her head, turning her mouth on him, and then straightened as she started a slow rhythm of fucking him with her mouth.

His breathing increased in speed and in volume with each stroke until he slowly moved his hips, working with her but careful to not press too deeply inside. There was no way she’d ever take all of Berrr’s cock into her mouth. He’d choke her for sure with his generous size.

“Shanna,” he growled. “Stop or I will lose my seed in your mouth.”

Shanna moaned, her hand leaving his balls to wrap around his hip, her hand cupping his ass to hold him in place as she moved faster on him, the sweet taste of him getting stronger as more pre-cum started to spill from the tip of his cock onto her tongue, a sure sign that he was close to losing it.

The hand on her breast tightened and his body went rigid, the muscles of his ass flexing hard seconds before Berrr started to come. He roared out loudly, his body shaking while Shanna swallowed every burst of his release. The taste of him turned from
a sugary
syrup to something even better, more of a maple flavor, a little richer, a little less sweet but delicious all the same. She milked him with her mouth, taking every drop, until Berrr forced her to let him go by pulling away.
