Chapter 12: Completing the Mating Ritual

Gabriel's POV:

I picked Nicole up bridal style and carried her up the stairs and down the hallway to our bedroom.

I set her down on to her feet so I could open the door, and then picked her up again to carry her over the threshold.

I walked towards the bed and put her down on her back gently before climbing onto the bed with her and positioning myself between her legs.

I started to unbutton my shirt and she reached up and started helping me unbutton the ones she could reach. I pulled my dress shirt over my arms and off of my body and then threw it across the room.

She reached up and pulled on my belt buckle, trying to help me unbuckle it. I put my hand over hers to stop her so I could take over.

I stood up and took everything off except for my boxers, then I positioned myself back between her legs.

I put my arms around her back and began unbuttoning and unzipping her dress. She started laughing at me because of how quickly I was trying to get her dress off of her. "If you weren't wearing a wedding dress right now, I would rip it right off of you," I tell her. She continues to giggle while I undress her.

I think she was enjoying being manhandled. She just laid there and let me undress her. She didn't even try to help me. I got her arms out of her dress and lifted it over her head. "Hurry up and get her naked!" Goliath yelled at me in my head. "That's it!" I say to her as I rip everything else off of her using my claws until she was laid completely bare underneath of me.

Goddess, she was breathtaking. I had to take a moment to just stare down at my beautiful mate, committing this moment and her body to memory.

I moved my hands over her hips and her stomach before cupping both of her large breasts in my hands and squeezing them. I took one of her nipples into my mouth and started sucking on it while gently massing the other with my hand. She moaned softly in approval.

Encouraged by her moan, I changed quickly to the other breast and sucked on her nipple while gently massaging her other breast with my hand. She let out another soft moan of approval and I smelled the scent of her arousal in the air.

I leaned down and kissed her lips hungrily, licking her bottom lip, asking for entry into her mouth. Her lips parted and she opened up her mouth to me. Our tongues twisted and tangled as we fought for dominance, which I eventually won.

We kissed each other until she pulled away, both of us needing air. I took another moment to look at my mate, drinking in her beauty. I knew I would never get tired of looking at her.

I trailed kisses down her neck, down her breasts, and down to her stomach. I was appreciating every inch of her while allowing her time to calm some of her nerves.

I raised her parted legs over my shoulders and ducked my head down to her core. I ran my tongue from base to the top of her, stopping at her clit. I licked and sucked her clit. I heard her moans and watched her writing underneath of me. She was getting wet for me.

I gently slid one finger inside of her and began to slowly move it on and out of her. Eventually adding a second finger and then a third. I wanted her to be stretched out and ready for me.

I stopped and took my fingers out of her. She whined at the loss of my touch. I moved myself up her body and positioned myself at her entrance.

I rubbed my tip in her wet juices and then I entered her with one quick thrust.

She cried out in pain, and I stilled inside of her, waiting for her to adjust to my size.

Once she gave me permission to move again I did so. Moving in and out of her slowly, allowing her to set the pace.

Eventually, her cries turned into moans, and she began to move her hips faster. "Harder, faster," she whispers to me and I begin to move my hips faster. I lift her legs above my shoulders again and I allow myself to slide deeper inside of her.

I thrust into her hard and fast, giving her what she wants until I slow the pace a little bit trying not to orgasm before she does. I want us to climax together, so I reach my hand down between us and I pinch her clit a few times.

"Nah, ohh, Gabriel, I am going to cum," she yells. "Cum for me, baby, I tell her. Cum all over my cock," I say, and a few seconds later she does. She cums hard all over my fingers and my cock. She cums so hard that it forces me to reach my orgasm as well.

I put her legs down onto the bed and I crash down next to her. We are both panting and sweating as we come down from our highs and take in much needed air. I reach over and pull her into me and hold her in my arms.

We lay there in a sweaty sated heap until we hear cheering coming from downstairs. Everyone celebrating the consummation of our mating ritual.

"Okay, sweetheart, let's get up and take a shower. Our guests are waiting for us downstairs," I tell her. She whines then stretches herself out. She sits on the side of the bed and tells me she needs help to stand up. I decide to pick her up and carry her into the shower.

We take turns washing each other. The feel of her body in my hands, occupied by her hands on me, has got me turned on again. I decide that the people downstairs can wait a little bit longer and make love to her in the shower.
