A/N: This is the last chapter. I'll have another short fic posted soon. Thank you, The Really Real Bob for all your reviews and all your help. Enjoy!

As Anica opened her eyes, she realized, with some surprise, she didn't feel any impatient nudging this morning. Her partner hadn't woken her up for help to ease his morning wood. She turned her head, meeting Zorro's cerulean eyes with her own dark amethyst. He had woken first, as usual, but opted to watch his mate sleep instead of waking her. He felt something was wrong by the way she had been acting from the beginning. The previous night's events had simply solidified that into knowledge. Whatever trauma she had faced before he came into her life still affected her. Anica sighed softly.

"I love you, you know," she said softly, voice a little shaky. Zorro chirped softly, tilting his head before nuzzling her gently.

"No, I really love you," she said, and he could hear the hint of emotion welling in her throat. "I need you. You make my life better… So much better…" Zorro leaned into her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He purred as she pressed kisses along his jawline. He nuzzled her more, wrapping his arms around her waist and slowly running his tongue along her collarbone and up her neck. He felt her shiver under the administration. Zorro purred again, grinning.

He didn't need to press her for details. He didn't need her to relive her nightmares for explanation. He was content to know that he made things better for her. He was ecstatic to know she loved him as much as he loved her. He was too focused on the way her lips pressed down his neck and chest, leading to his stomach. His eyes shut, completely unable to deny the welcoming warmth of her mouth. He huffed softly, listening to her soft moans as she emphatically sucked the length of his cock, twirling her tongue around his knot every time she reached the base.

When she pulled up, he grabbed her arms and pulled her under him with a soft but possessive growl. She shivered beneath him, running her hands along the sides of his muzzle. He moved down, pushing his nose against her clit as he snaked his tongue inside her cavern. He teased her g-spot but took extra time to explore the other nerve clusters inside her as well. She panted and mewled softly, arching her back and pressing herself harder against his mouth.

It was easy to say that he turned her into a mess without any effort. Purrs and possessive growls lead him to draw three intense orgasms from her with his tongue alone. He rose up, licking his lips clean as he looked down at his mate. Anica was breathing heavily, the thin layer of moisture on her skin glistening with every heave of her chest. She watched him, dazed but eager for more. He slid his erection against her slit, grinding against her before just slipping the tip of his cock in.

She whimpered softly, moving her hips to try and push him in farther, but he was one step ahead of her, so she couldn't. After a few moments of watching her struggle for more, he slid into her just a tiny bit at a time, stopping just at his knot. She moaned softly as she felt his entire length. He drew back and slid back in, agonizingly slow. Anica whined and bucked her hips impatiently. Zorro grinned down at her, repeating the torturous action.

"Zorro, please don't tease me, baby," she whined softly. "Please, I can't stand it. Give it to me. Please." He huffed and growled softly, bringing his hips back and building up a steadier pace, still not knotting her yet so he could thrill her with the entire length continuously. He was rewarded with gasping moans and nails digging into his back as she clutched him tightly. Zorro knew what he wanted. He leaned forward, sinking his teeth into the side of Anica's neck until he tasted her blood in his mouth. Anica screamed, grabbing the back of his neck tightly, her hips bucking under him as her entire body was seized by another orgasm.

Zorro withdrew his teeth, running his tongue over the mark he'd left on her. Anica was his and only his. And she seemed just as thrilled by that as he was. She was getting close and as she came again, he knotted her. Zorro used his paws to push Anica's knees up towards her chest, giving himself an even better angle to fuck her senseless. It didn't take much. Anica was screaming, eyes rolling into the back of her head as he fucked her cervix hard. Her feet seized, toes curling inward, so they made perfect crescent shapes.

Zorro leaned forward a little further, grunting softly and huffing as he felt the tip of his cock pushing through that ring of muscles. How he wished he could get her pregnant, not that the act of trying wasn't good enough. Anica cried out, arching her back as she came hard again. Her inner muscles clenched him tightly, her cervix dilating slightly so he could push in just a little bit farther. As her cervix tightened against him once more, he howled as he spilled his seed inside of her, filling her womb completely again.

Zorro placed his paws on the bed to balance his weight, panting heavily. Anica was struggling to catch her breath as well. Once his softening cock retracted, he crashed beside her on the bed. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close and gently licking her cheek. Anica giggled softly, sounding a little like she was still drunk from the euphoric high of her orgasms. Zorro purred, grinning and very proud of himself.

He loved what he did to her. He would do it all day, every day if she wanted him to. For now, they held each other, skin against fur, exchanging tender kisses. After the displays of affection, Zorro dropped his face down to the crook of her neck, gently pressing in. Anica gently stroked the back of his head and neck, humming softly in appreciation. She sighed softly, then giggled a little.

"I think I'm actually sore, Zorro," she purred. Zorro looked at her, tilting his head slightly.

"Just a little." She giggled again. "I still feel up to going to work. Are you coming with me?"
