Shifter On Ice (Shifter World - Book Two) (Series of 13 Short Stories)
Chapter Four: Captain Crunch Berries

“I can’t believe no one noticed I wasn’t at the party,” Raj said as he, his friends, and their mates sat around in Dustan and Sharissa’s house.

“That’s the great thing about having a vampire for a friend,” Dustin said with a smile.

“You both owe me for this,” Tate said, taking a sip of his scotch on the rocks.

“We didn’t finish discussing what those two will do when Raj has to go to his next away game,” Dylan said, pointing between Raj and Lyvia.

“I can talk to Mr. Trinkle and come up with an assignment she can do from home,” Shar said.

“I can’t let you do that.” Lyvia frowned.

“Trinkle may be an asshat, but I’ve worked under him for years. I know what he likes, and I can play at his ego.” Shar smiled.

“That’s actually a good idea. If Lyvia can work from home and email you her work, then she can travel with Raj and the team,” Dylan said with a nod.

“And how will we get her on the bus?” Dominic asked his brother.

Everyone looked at Tate.

“What the fuck?” Tate said, watching his friends. “Have I become the local hypnotist?”

“We could use your help again, Tate,” Dustin said. “Unless you want them to go insane and probably kill us all in our sleep.”

Tate snorted. “Not likely. But I’ll help, anyway.”

“Thank you,” Lyvia said happily.

“You’ll owe me too for this one.” Tate pointed at Lyvia.

Lyvia nodded. “Anything.”

Raj pulled Lyvia away from Tate. “Never tell a vampire “anything” when you owe him a favor.”

“Too late.” Tate grinned. “She said it, can’t take it back.”

“She didn’t know,” Raj growled.

“Relax, Shifter,” Tate said with a shake of his head. “I won’t have her cut off her own head or anything like that….”

“Didn’t you have that one guy do that?” Dustin asked, watching the vampire.

Tate laughed. “That guy raped and beat a young girl almost to death. And since he owed me an ‘anything’ favor, I told him to chop off his own head.”

Both women in the room sucked in shocked breaths.

“He had it coming,” Tate said with a flick of his wrist.

“I don’t think they’re shocked you had a man like that kill himself.” Dustin laughed. “I think they’re shocked that the man actually did it.”

Both women nodded.

“Well,” Tate said with that wicked grin of his. “I can be very persuasive.”

“I believe that,” Lyvia said, having been under his control once before when she’d first met him.

“Hey, this is supposed to be a celebration!” Raj shouted. “I found my mate,” he said, kissing Lyvia. When he lifted his head, he grinned down at her. “And we’re going to the finals!”

The room erupted in cheers, and they went back to celebrating.

~🐅~

Lyvia looked at her email, and her eyes opened wide. Sharissa had done it. She’d actually pulled it off. She looked at Symone, who was rubbing against her leg.

“What am I going to do with you?” she whispered.

Symone looked up at her with a blank stare.

“Thanks, you’re a lot of help.” Lyvia laughed as she leaned down and petted her new cat. “I guess you’re hungry.” She got to her feet and went to the kitchen to get the food she’d bought for Symone.

“Good morning, Mafilia.”

Lyvia looked up from pouring food to smile at her mate. “Morning, Mafilio.”

“Please tell me that’s not our breakfast,” Raj said with a teasing smile as he pointed to the food Lyvia was pouring for the cat.

Lyvia chuckled and shook her head. “No. Our breakfast is in the cupboards.”

“Let me guess, bran flakes,” he said with a teasing glint in his eyes.

She smirked at him. “You’ll have to see for yourself.”

He went to the cupboards and chuckled. “Captain Crunch Berries, nice,” he said as he pulled the box down.

He found two bowls and two spoons.

Lyvia chuckled. “Did you forget that I need my sugar, too?”

He snorted. “I’ve met shifters who don’t have sugar in their house. But of course, they’re also not as toned as you,” he said the last part as he turned and winked at her.

She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him. “I don’t want to know about your other morning afters.”

“Don’t have any,” he said as he set the bowls and box of cereal on the dining room table.

“So, you’re one of those who sneak out before sunup, huh?” Lyvia asked as she grabbed the milk from the fridge.

When she backed up, she found something very hard at her backside.

“I don’t want to talk about my life before you. Do you?” he asked, rubbing her hips through her nightshirt.

She swallowed. “No, not really.”

He pulled her to a standing position and turned her toward the table. She set the milk beside the bowls and squealed when her shirt went up, and her panties went down.

“I love your ass.” He grinned as he smacked it.

Lyvia groaned. She never knew a slap on the ass could be such a turn-on.

Raj fell to his knees and opened her sweet pussy so he could see it. It was the most amazing pussy he had ever seen. An amazing pussy on an amazing pussy cat.

He heard Lyvia purr and grinned, then leaned up and licked her sweetness, which was already dripping down her thighs.

“Holy fuck,” she breathed out when his tongue touched her.

He chuckled. “You like to say that. Don’t you?”

She sighed with pleasure. “It’s something that has always just popped out of my mouth. Oh God, don’t stop.”

He chuckled against her clit, his tongue swirling around it. “You taste and smell like apricots.”

“What is it with fruit?” Lyvia asked, then cried out when he pulled her clit into his mouth and sucked on it.

Her orgasm came fast, as Raj knew it would. She shook and cried out with pleasure as she called out his name. His cock jumped to attention, and his tiger growled, wanting to mount his mate again.

“Not this time,” Raj mumbled to his tiger as he stood and pulled his boxers down to free his cock. She was already bent over the table, still writhing from her orgasm. He slapped her ass cheek, which made her squeal. He grinned as he grabbed her hips and entered her.

“Holy fuck!” she cried out, making him chuckle.

He really likes this woman; he’s glad she’s his mate. His tiger is happy, too, if the constant purring in his head said anything.

“Damn, you feel good,” he said with a groan as he slammed into her tightness.

He was her first, which was a bigger turn-on than any aphrodisiac. To be your mate’s first lover is a powerful feeling. He just wished he’d realized it before he’d plowed into her their first time.

“Raj, oh God, Raj, yes.” Lyvia let out a loud purr.

He smiled. Her tiger was as happy as his.

“Lyvia,” he moaned as he held onto her hips and fucked her over her dining table.

“I can’t believe we’re fucking in my kitchen,” she panted.

He chuckled. “We’re going to fuck everywhere in this house before we have to leave for my next game.”

She snickered. “That sounds like a good plan to me.”

“What did you mean about the fruit comment?” he asked when he remembered her earlier statement. He’d been so involved with eating her that he’d forgotten to ask about it.

She snickered as she turned her head to look back at him. “Sharissa smells like peaches to Dustin.”

He smiled. “I guess it’s a Fated Mate thing.”

She nodded as she turned her head forward again.

“No, I want you to look at me like that.” He grabbed hold of her hair and turned her head to face him.

Her eyes became a smoky grey, and he groaned.

“You’re so beautiful.” He leaned forward and kissed her.

She moaned against his lips. “So are you.”

He chuckled against her mouth. He wasn’t usually keen on being called beautiful, but from his mate, it sounded perfect. Even his tiger liked it.

“Harder,” she groaned.

His tiger pounced, and Raj had to use every strength he had to keep him from taking over and screwing their mate against the table while she was still in human form.

“Not going to happen, buddy.” Raj chuckled.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, watching him.

He grinned at her. “My tiger got a bit excited when you said that.”

She smiled. “My tiger is clawing to come out.”

Raj leaned forward so he could whisper in her ear. “Next time, my little tigress, next time.”

Lyvia’s body exploded with sensations when he whispered into her ear. Her tiger was purring so loud she could barely hear anything else.

“Yes!” she cried out when his arms came down on top of hers, his fingers laced with hers as he pinned them to the table and fucked her harder, just as she’d asked him to. “More.” She grumbled, and he slammed even harder and deeper.

“Holy fuck!” she screamed as the biggest orgasm she had ever had erupted from her spine.

“Yes!” Raj called out when she tightened around him. He grunted and slammed into her a few more times, then his body shook with his orgasm, and he spilled his seed deep inside her.

Their joined wrists tingled as their strength joined and multiplied.

“That was….” He started to say once he collapsed against her.

“Incredible,” she finished for him.

He chuckled. “That’s one word to use.”

“Hungry?” she asked, looking at the milk and cereal.

“Yeah, even more now,” he said, kissing the side of her neck.

Raj sighed as he watched Lyvia fix their cereal bowls while he was still knotted inside her. He knows she’s not ready to start a family with him, and he understands. But the Goddesses intended for them to have large families—hence the knotting.

He’d tried slipping a condom on once, which had never been a problem before. But it had bounced off his dick and slapped her in the face. Which he hadn’t been able to hold back his laughter—because come on—Who could have?

She’d punched him, then tackled him to the bed and fucked him from on top. That knotting had been fun. She’d fallen asleep on top of him while they waited, and he slept with his mate’s breasts pressed against his hard chest.

“Shar found a job I can do at home,” she said around a mouthful of cereal.

He chuckled. He loved that Lyvia wasn’t petite 0r against sugar and exercise.

“That’s good,” he said, shoveling a large bite of cereal into his mouth.

It should be strange to stand behind his mate with his cock stuck in her pussy—eating Captain Crunch Berries. But he found it about as normal as normal got for a shifter with his Fated Mate.

“It’s work that will take up a lot of my time, but I should be able to give you my attention on breaks….”

“Screw breaks,” Raj said through a mouth full of cereal. “I’m going to fuck you while you’re working, and we’ll lay or stand together while we wait for the knotting to finish, and you can continue your work. Then we will do it again.”

She giggled.

“I guess it’s twice as hard for us then it is for Shar and Dustin—since she’s human and can only take so much. I mean, the pull is stronger for me because I’m a shifter and all.” Lyvia said as she spooned another bite of cereal into her mouth.

Raj laughed at that. “Don’t underestimate a human Fated Mate, Mafilia. You forget she has the strength of a shifter now.”

“Right,” Lyvia said with a nod. “I love Shar with all my heart, and I know how strong she is for a human. But does she have the sexual appetite of a female shifter?”

Raj set his bowl on the table and leaned forward. “From what Dustin’s brothers have told me, they’ve caught those two in bathrooms, the gym, their mother’s house, the pool, the jacuzzi….”

Lyvia laughed. “Okay, okay. So, she’s got it all and then some. But can she do this?” she asked with a wicked grin. She’d felt his knot softening and knew she better do it now, or her tiger will give her hell all day. She shifted and could hear Raj growling behind her.

He shifted, and her table didn’t survive.
