Chapter 39 - The Morning After

Gunner.

She must be exhausted, I know I am. I think it was nearly sunup when we finally went to sleep. But at least today we don't have to go anywhere or do anything, we can stay in bed together all day. I laid still, watching Zelena sleep. The sunlight through the window bounced off her naked back. Her skin is smooth and soft, glowing in the light. There's not a single scar left, as impossible as that is, but she has completely healed.

I lifted my head and studied her bare back, the way it bent and curved as she lay sleeping. I raised my hand and gently traced the words 'I Love You' across her skin. I ran my fingers over my bite mark on her shoulder, she is mine, now and forever. As I put my head back down, I met her gaze. She was awake, her golden eyes staring into mine.

"Good morning" she smiled sleepily. I leaned forward and kissed her soft pink lips.

"Good morning my love"

"What time is it?"

"It's about noon". She giggled softly, lifting up off the pillow and rubbing her eyes,

"Is it really?" I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her on top of me.

"Yes, it is, but we aren't going anywhere today. So, you're all mine".

I kissed her again as I slid my hand down her back and grabbed hold of her ass. She lifted her leg up over my hip and kissed me a little harder. I reached down a bit further and brushed my fingers against her waiting pussy. She arched her back, raising her hips higher and I slowly slid my finger in. She lifted her body higher onto mine so her breasts were in my face. I took her nipple in my mouth, sucking softly as I flicked it with my tongue and she moaned quietly. I slipped in a second finger and she gasped, then I started slowly moving them in and out. She is delicious. She put her hands on my shoulders and sat up right on my lap. I slipped my fingers out and grabbed her hips. She reached her hand down and took hold of my hard cock, positioning herself above me, she slowly slid down taking my entire length inside her moist warm pussy. I moaned, holding onto her hips, she is so tight. She moved her hips forward and back, slowly grinding along my shaft.

She had her hands on my shoulders and her head tilted back. I grabbed one of her perfect perky breasts, gently pinching the little pink nipple. She dug her claws into my skin and started moving her hips faster, I could feel my orgasm growing with her movements. I held her hips, to try and make her slow down. She growled dragging her claws down my chest.

"Zee" I groaned,

"I'll cum".

"Cum with me" she moaned. She lifted her hips up and back down. The sensation sent shivers down my legs, my body tensed as my balls throbbed,

"I'm coming" I breathed heavily.

She thrust her hips forward, hard, and I couldn't hold on any longer. She thrust again, I lost control and the fireworks started. Another thrust and I exploded, my whole body quaked, and I let out a muffled cry of pleasure as I emptied myself into her. Zee squeezed her thighs as her body quivered, her pussy throbbed around my cock and she moaned through one last thrust. I melted into the bed my whole body feeling weak and spent. Zee fell forwards, collapsing on top of me, panting heavily. I wrapped my arms around her and rolled her onto the bed beside me.

We lay side by side in each other's arms, slowly cooling down again.

"I don't know if I ever want to leave this room" she smiled looking into my eyes.

"If only we had a mini fridge, I'm starving"

"Oh my god, me too"

"If only Uber Eats delivered to the bedroom door" I chuckled.

"If only they delivered to the island at all" she laughed.

"I'll run down to the kitchen and grab some food. Want anything special?" I asked,

"No anything will do, I'm going to have a shower, I need it".

I pulled her in closer and licked her neck up to her cheek. She squirmed in my arms giggling.

"You taste pretty good though" I teased,

"But I reckon I don't smell as good" she cooed back.

I lifted myself up and hovered above her, I lent down kissing her lips,

"You'll always smell good to me, but yes, have a shower" I smiled, stifling a laugh as she punched my shoulder.

"Asshole" she huffed. I kissed her again and stood up, looking around the room for my sweats.

"Hm, that ass though" Zee whispered. I turned to look at her and she was perched up on her side, biting her lip.

"Ha! Easy girl" I chuckled. I pulled on my sweats and walked out the door, closing it quickly behind me. I walked down to the kitchen, my knees and legs feeling weak and wobbly. I walked in the door, froze, and then quickly walked back out again. What the fuck did I just witness! I walked back in just to check, yep, I did see that. Nat jumped down from the counter and Smith was putting his shirt back on.

"What the fuck?" I said stupidly, watching them both fumble around.

"Gunner, what are you doing down here?" Nat mumbled nervously,

"We, uh, we were just um" Smith stuttered,

"Yeah, I saw what you were just doing" I teased,

"Gunner don't" snapped Nat.

"Don't what? I didn't say anything. I'm just surprised is all"

"You're not angry bro?" Smith asked shakily.

"Nah, I figured it would happen sooner or later" I said with a careless shrug of my shoulders. I'm not blind to their closeness. I've been watching them flirt incessantly for months now.

"Wait really?" Nat questioned,

"Yeah whatever, it's fine". They both looked at each other wide eyed, not saying anything, yet they appeared to be having a silent conversation. Wait! They're flashing?

"Hold up, are you two flashing right now?" I yelled and pointed between them. Smith looked at me sheepishly and Nat smiled nervously.

"Well we, uh, we are kind of Mated up" Smith said quietly.

"Holy fucking shit" I exclaimed.

"SERIOUSLY?" I yelled, they both stood quietly looking at me. Flirting and hooking up is one thing, but Mating is another. I can honestly say that I didn't expect Smith to settle for one she-wolf, like ever. Now that I think about it, I don't know if I'm happy it's with my little sister, or worried. So, I laughed. Maybe a little more than I should have.

"Well shit, the famous ladies' man Smith has settled down" I said with a heavy breath.

I wasn't mad, just super surprised. Smith chuckled a little and Nat elbowed him in the ribs hissing at him. Yep, I am leaving that one alone. I walked to the cupboard and grabbed a bag of chips and then a loaf of bread and some ham from the fridge, setting it all down on a carry tray. Nat and Smith just watched me, not saying anything. I went to the door and looked back at them. Holy fucking shit, Nat and Smith. Smith and Nat. My sister and my future Delta, Mated. Okay. I wonder how long they have been hiding their feelings from me. Actually, nope. Not my problem. I laughed and walked out the door.

I walked up the stairs slowly, still chuckling to myself. I don't know who I should feel more sorry for, Nat or Smith. I went through the bedroom door and put the food on the bed. Zee was in the shower. I lifted my arm and sniffed my pit. Hm... I could probably use a shower too. I took off my sweats and walked in the bathroom, I opened the shower door and Zee spun around surprised. There was a strong energy rolling around in the shower cubicle, like a weird heaviness. Zee looked like she saw a ghost, I must have really startled her.

"Oh, hey you" she smiled awkwardly,

"Need an extra pair of hands?" I said stepping in. She took my hands and pulled me under the water hugging me tightly. The water was steaming hot, just how I like it. The water poured over her head, so I picked up her new shampoo and poured it into my hand. I moved her out of the waters stream and rubbed the shampoo into her hair. She tilted her head back and let me keep washing her hair.

"Mm that feel's really nice" she smiled,

"Good, it smells nice too". She turned around and rinsed her hair out under the water.

"Your turn now" she smiled looking up at me,

"Uhh… hm" she hummed as the realization hit that she couldn't reach my head, I chuckled at her puzzled face and got down on my knees.

"Ah that's better". She started to rub the soap into my hair, but standing there naked at that level, my brain had other plans. I put my hands on her hips and pulled her closer. I kissed her belly from her hips to her ribs, all over. She giggled trying to step back but I held her tight,

"You're going to get soap in your eyes" she cried out,

"I don't care" I mumbled with my lips pressed against her stomach. I trailed my kisses down to her crotch,

"Gunner" she gasped. I growled at her jokingly and kept kissing. I lifted her leg and put it over my shoulder.

"I'm gonna slip over" she squealed,

"No, you won't, I got you girl".

I pressed my mouth against her pussy and rubbed my tongue along her lips. Sucking her clit into my mouth I flicked it with the tip of my tongue.

"Oh shit" Zee breathed, grabbing the top of my head. I continued licking and sucking at her dripping pussy, she tasted amazing and sweet. I pushed my tongue inside her, swirling it around and dragging it back up over her lips to her clit. I sucked hard on her clit before standing up and pushing her against the shower wall. I want to bury myself deep inside that delicious pussy. To feel her walls clench around my cock as she comes. I kissed her mouth hard pushing my tongue against hers.

"You taste good" I whispered between kisses.

"Well you can do that any time you want" she giggled,

"I'll remember you said that". I kissed her a few more times until my stomach growled, echoing through the bathroom. We both stopped and looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

"Okay I think we're clean enough, let's go eat" she said turning off the water. I grabbed her towel and passed it to her then picked up my own, wrapping it around my waist. I sat down on the bed and opened the bag of chips. Zee dried off and slipped on a loose black dress with skinny straps. She twisted her hair up in her towel and sat it on top of her head. She looks gorgeous, without even trying. No makeup and still a little damp and yet she is heavenly. She sat down next to me, opening the bread bag and started making a sandwich. When she turned around and got up to grab the laptop off the dresser, I noticed a mark on the back of her neck.

"What's that babe?" I asked her.

"What's what?" she responded looking back at me.

I stood up and moved the towel from her neck and there it was, as clear as day. A bright red triple moon emblem, just like the symbol of the Moon Goddess. When Zee was unconscious after her attack, I remember seeing a pale pink crescent moon on the back of her neck. But this is different, the color is darker and its grown. That's not a usual birth mark.

"What is it?" Zee asked,

"It's uh, well, I don't know what it is" I stuttered. She put down the laptop and sandwich and went to the bathroom mirror. She turned her head from side to side, twisting and bending her neck.

"I can't see anything" she said looking at me, her face started to look worried.

"Here I'll take a photo of it" I said grabbing my phone from beside the bed. I snapped a photo and passed the phone to Zee. She stared at it for a few minutes, studying the red waxing, full and waning moon shapes on the phone screen, before trying to see it again in the mirror.

"I've never noticed it before" she said confused,

"That's because it wasn't there before" I said back,

"What do you mean it wasn't there before?" she snapped at me, I could hear the fear making its way into her voice.

"I don't know, it just wasn't there, not like that".

She looked at me seriously, rubbing the back of her neck. She was scared and I could smell her anxiety growing. I need to make this better, to calm her down somehow.

"I saw a pale pink semi-circle on your neck the night I brought you her, but it wasn't that dark, and it wasn't that big" I told her honestly.

"Where did it come from then?" she questioned.

I know the symbol, and I know what it means to our people, but I've never seen it on a person before. I think I need to talk to Mum, she knows everything about this sort of stuff. She'll be able to tell us it's nothing, and then we can get back to lazing around in bed for the rest of the day.
