He reached out and took her delicate hand in his, "Be my mate Red. Not because that piece of paper says you have to be but because I ask you to be. IF you do not wish to I will throw that paper in the fire and we will part ways. But if you do I will give you everything you wish for if it is in my power to give. I will love you beyond measure. You will be sage, protected and cared for for the rest of your life. Just say you will Red."

Looking into his yellow eyes her heart seemed to burst with joy that spilled into her veins and coursed through her body as a delicious warmth. She was unable to pull her eyes away from his or to speak through a throat that seemed to be constricted shut. Tears prickled the corners of her eyes, threatening to spill down her cheeks. Not tears of sadness and pain but tears of joy.

He leaned closer to her and stroked one rough, calloused finger down her high cheekbone and whispered but one word, "Please."

The shimmering tears spilled down her cheeks as she nodded and said a soft, "Yes." Through a clogged throat.

An electricity seemed to pass through them at that moment making their hair stand on end and their skin tingle, sealing their mating.

He smiled brightly at her, tears bright in his yellow eyes. He cupped her cheek in his palm and looked into her eyes. "Red, I don't think I could explain or express how happy you have made me at this moment. There are no words any where sufficient to tell you what I am feeling or how truly and utterly happy I am. I will not even try. But what I will say to you is this, thank you. Thank you for giving me the privilege of being in your life and allowing me to share mine with you. Thank you for taking a chance with me, I promise you you will never regret it. But most of all thank you for giving me the chance to make you happy." He leaned closer to her to kiss her but before his lips touched hers he murmured a soft, "Thank you."

That soft, sweet, tender kiss quickly deepened into something more passionate, fervent and needy. He wrapped her in his strong arms and pulled her into his lap, her legs straddling his muscular thighs. He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and pulled her tightly to his broad chest, holding her, feeling her heartbeat meld with his own.

It was so strange, what she was feeling, but not unpleasant or scary. His firm lips pressed to hers, his slight scruff of hair growth on his face rough against her tender skin. She could feel his coarse, crinkly chest hair through his shirt. A fire seemed to erupt in her loins causing her to shake all over and a fiery lava to course throughout her body. Her skin flushed a bright pink.

He clutched her tightly to him, his mouth devouring hers hungrily and insistently. But he kept a tight reign on his passions, keeping in mind that she was a virgin and had no experience of any kind with men. He let it go only so far when he stopped it, looking at her, panting, "Ahh, my fair one how you inflame me!"

She looked at him quizzically, panting, licking her swollen lips, "Did I do something wrong, is that why you stopped?" Her whole body was shaking as if she had a fever and lightning seemed to dance across her skin.

Giving her a reassuring smile he stroked a rough finger down her flushed cheek. "No, no, no! You have done nothing wrong at all. As a matter of fact it is just the opposite! You inflame me to the point I want to lose control of myself. That is a very good thing my pretty one! But I must keep control otherwise I may hurt you, something I cannot abide doing. You are unversed in the ways of passion, desire and the flesh so I must proceed slowly and gently." He ran his fingers through her thick auburn hair and smiled at her. "Let me ask this my mate, how much do you know of the mating ritual between men and women."

She blushed brightly and lowered her eyes, "Nanna and Momma told me about what duties are expected of me." Indeed, after she got her first monthly cycle they had sat down with her and explained all about sexual relations and babies.

He put a finger under her chin and tilted it up so she was looking at him once again. "There is nothing to be ashamed of when talking about relations between mated couples. By far, it is one of the most pleasurable and wonderful experiences one can ever have! I just wanted to know if you had any knowledge so I may tailor my actions." Putting a hand on the back of her head he drew her back into a deeply passionate kiss, parting her lips gently and letting his tongue dance with hers. He let one large hand wander down the neck of her dress to her breasts, tightly encased in the deep green dress she wore. Running a calloused palm over them eh could feel her nipples poking proudly through the fabric, as if straining to get free. He let his hands wander around to her back where, after stroking up and down it a couple times, he started to unbutton the back slowly.

She started to protest but it was muffled by his mouth.

He got all the buttons undone then slowly skinned it down her body and let it rest in a pool around her waist. His hands stroked up and down the smooth, unblemished skin of her back then he pulled away and undid his own shirt and tossed it aside, looking into her eyes as he did.

She crossed her arms over her bare breasts and blushed but sat, staring at his naked chest, unable to tear her eyes away from it.

He reached out and gently took her wrists and pulled her arms away from her chest. "There is no need to be embarrassed around me my shy one. Why hide your beauty from me when we will both know the other intimately very soon," He put her palms flat on his chest and stroked her hair softy. "Touch me innocent one, get to know my body."

She blushed harder but felt her fingers trail through the thick pelt of his chest, feeling the wiry hairs against her fingertips. Letting them trail over his flat nipples, feeling them stiffen under her light touch. Then drug down over his rock hard stomach, feeling the muscles work underneath the skin. She could hear his breath quicken and him quiver under her touch. She looked up into his eyes, a puzzled look on her face, "Is there something wrong?"

He shook his shaggy head and smiled at her, "No, not at all. Your touch excites and inflames me all the more. That, my dear, is a good thing." Leaning forward, he kissed her again, but more passionately this time, pulling her closer to him. Reaching down between them he unbuttoned his pants and let his throbbing manhood spring free. Gently, he grasped one of her hands and led it down so she could touch it.

When she felt the throbbing flesh beneath her touch she broke off the kiss and looked down then grasped. She tried to pull away but he held her hand firmly. "Hush pretty one, there's nothing to fear from it. It won't hurt you but will give you the most exquisite pleasure. IT is no different than the male organ you have seen on animals." He kissed her tenderly again and wrapped his hand around hers, guiding it the way he liked to be touched.

Soon, he gently pushed her onto her back and proper himself above her and started to kiss down her neck to her chest. He then licked and sucked on her breasts and nipples unto she was emitting soft cries of pleasure and squirming around under him. He took the opportunity, while she was distracted, to ease her dress and undergarments off as well as divulge himself of his remaining clothes. He then started to kiss and lick his way down her slightly concave stomach. She seemed to have lost some of her shyness, holding onto his head and moaning his name over and over softly. Never in her life had she ever felt anything so good. It was as if there was a fire in her loins that raced along every nerve in her body, jangling them. It seemed to her that her skin had become so sensitive that his slightest touch caused her to quiver and shake uncontrollably from the overload of pleasurable sensations. Every nerve ending in her body seemed to be alive and dancing just under her skin. All she could do was lay there, gasping and whimpering, asking him not to stop.

When she felt the rough scruff of his beard brush lightly against the inside of one of his thighs she squealed loudly and shook harder all over. She didn't understand the feelings her body was producing, it was as if it was no longer her own, but she knew she didn't want him to stop and she wanted more.

Slowly he kissed up her inner thighs, first one then the other until he reached her red furred sex. Her excitement was very evident. It was slightly spread open and the delicate interior was visible to his gaze. The lips had darkened in color and thickened. A small trickle of her clear juice was leaking out and running down her perineum. Her delicate pearl of her clit had poked it's self out of its hood and was throbbing. He shut his eyes and inhaled deeply, taking in the musky perfume of her sex, making his shaft throb more. Leaning forward he flattened out his tongue and lightly licked from the bottom of her pussy upwards, covering it all, eliciting a loud shriek of pure pleasure from her. Her juice was sweet and tangy on his tongue. He licked his lips then parted her lips with two fingers and wiggled his tongue against her virgin hole, eliciting a gasp from her. He plunged it in and out a couple times before flicking the tip of it across her protruding clit. Her reaction was instantaneous. She arched up and crushed her throbbing pussy down onto his face, shaking.

He wrapped his arms under her thighs and pulled her crotch closer to him and took her clit in his mouth and started to suck gently on it, rubbing his tongue up and down the underside of it. He could feel it quivering against his tongue. She was gasping and moaning, shaking all over, her legs involuntarily trying to close around his head.

He held them open with his elbows then unwrapped one arm from around her thigh and tickled her tight hole with one finger to get it wet then eased it into her. He flicked the tip of his tongue across the ultra sensitive tip of her clit again to distract her from any pain she might feel from the intrusion. She didn't even seem to notice, moaning loudly and twisting around.

He kept up the work on her clit and slid first one finger then two in and out of her pussy until her nails were dug into his scalp and she was unable to hold still, squirming all over underneath him. He knew she was very close to cumming. Quickly, he pulled his tongue off and replaced it with his finger without missing a beat. She was dazed by the overwhelming unfamiliar sensations her body was producing to notice, squirming all over, eyes rolled back in her head. His finer never leaving off its ministrations on her clit, he got up on his knees between her legs and grasped his throbbing cock and rubbed it up and down between her spread lips, his pre-cum mingling with the fluids flowing freely out of her pussy. He, himself was having problems maintaining control because of the fact that he was as turned on as she was but managed to keep a tight reign on everything.
