Caitlyn's POV
Talon's panting grew heavier, and I trembled, releasing the shackles on my body upon hearing that wolf howl, while his hand slowly ascended.
"Did you miss me after several days without seeing me?" Talon wore a playful smile before his hand skillfully delved into my shirt like a nimble snake.
"No, no." My cheeks reddened as I attempted to block his intrusion with my hands. However, no matter how much I resisted, Talon always found a way past my defenses to touch my smooth skin once more.
"Your body seems more honest than your mouth." Without hesitation, Talon lifted me and placed me directly onto the raised platform in front of him.
I rolled my entire body over, ending up in a face-to-face position with Talon. Due to his proximity, my legs had to swing to the sides, putting me in an extremely embarrassing position.
Satisfied with my position, Talon gently stroked my ankles with his hands and then traced his fingers along the curves of my legs. The tingling sensation in my lower body was pleasurable, but reason urged me to remain calm. I kept my mouth tightly shut to prevent strange noises that might further stoke Talon's desire.
Unsatisfied, Talon's hands slowly moved up, gripping my waist. "I'm giving you one more chance to reconsider this." A sly look flashed across Talon's face before he descended into my arms, unbuttoning my shirt with his mouth and pushing my underwear aside with a single fluid motion.
"Don't... don't do that."
My voice trembled, ashamed to expose myself in front of Talon, severely damaging my self-esteem.
However, my refusal seemed more like a provocation to Talon, who immediately buried his head in my breasts, his mouth slightly open, gently taking in my nipple. The moment Talon's tongue touched my skin, I felt a shiver run through my soul.
"That's not the answer I was looking for."
Talon said vaguely, then almost roughly spread my legs to the sides, braced my knees with his hands, and bent my legs as far apart and upward as he could, leaving my entire being unreservedly exposed to Talon except for a thin layer of fabric.
"Someone will ... come."
I said vaguely, but even I didn't realize that I had drifted from my earlier refusal to acquiescence.
My words, however, seemed like an added erotic adjunct to Talon's, and his entire body looked like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, a low growl escaping his throat before he roughly ripped the fabric from my lower half.
Talon barely hesitated before his soft lips closed over my mouth.
Talon kissed me hard, and at the same time, his hands didn't stop, vigorously rubbing my breasts.
The touch on my body made my whole body a little hot, my eyes gradually got a little lost, propping up my body with my hands, subconsciously arching my waist to meet Talon's attack.
And Talon obviously didn't let go of this opportunity, smoothly took off his clothes, putting his statue-like muscles on display in front of me.
Talon's eyes flashed a red light, and the whole man gasped for air, followed by a slow frown as his body moved forward, creating a wave of pain that was about to rip through my lower body.
I stifled a grunt as the intense pain left me somewhat overwhelmed, tears instantly rushing out of my eyes to fall onto my white breasts.
A trace of heartache flashed in Talon's eyes, but his movements didn't stop at all.
His body was constantly shrugging, and I also felt a hint of tingling pleasure from the initial pain, my body trembled slightly along with Talon's offense, raising my head and moaning softly.
At this moment Talon's forehead had a fine bead of sweat on it, and his movements were getting faster and faster, making me instantly lost in erotic pleasure.
"Faster ... faster."
I squinted my eyes as wave after wave of pleasure made me a complete slave to my desires.
Talon held my waist firmly, yielding to his animal instincts as he continued to lift me. He reddened and took a deep breath, followed by a muffled grunt and a frantic stroke.
I squeezed my eyes shut, my disheveled hair flying in the air. The pleasure coursing through me unconsciously caused my body to arch. I hugged Talon tightly, feeling his solid muscles as if I were soaring to the clouds.
"Ah, I can't hold on much longer."
Talon frowned and finally straightened his body after a fierce attack, shuddering somewhat weakly as he collapsed onto me.
Like a long-dried land reveling in a sweet rain, the mark on my neck erupted in a burst of dazzling light, and my entire body shuddered with pleasure.
I closed my eyes and felt warm liquid dripping down my thighs. My entire body went limp, arms stretched out to the sides as the cold ground gradually cooled my fiery body. Delicate panting brought out occasional moans.
Talon reached out from behind, his broad palms covering my breasts as he lifted me gently.
I turned in Talon's arms, wrapping mine around his neck, meeting his hot lips once again.
"I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me."
I looked at Talon firmly. At this moment, he resembled my prey.
Talon was a little surprised to hear me say that, but a wave of mixed emotions welled up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Caitlyn, for making you suffer in silence. Don't worry, when this hunting competition is over, I will give you a clear answer in front of everyone."
Talon's eyes flashed, and he nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I'm not the same clueless girl as before. I don't need your help in this competition. I already lost to Kaisa the last time I cooked, but I won't admit defeat this time, even if she's the Alpha. I'll use my strength to show her that being Talon's Mate isn't just about looking good."
I said seriously, snuggling into Talon's arms, feeling the warmth emanating from his body.
"I believe in you."
Talon nodded, a pleased smile appearing on his face.
