His hands continued upwards, fingers tracing along her ribs until they reached the undersides of her breasts. His hands shifted then to cup her breasts and his thumbs began to tease tiny little circles along her flesh. Those circles became larger the closer his thumbs moved toward her nipples but they always carefully avoided the little buds as they hardened and grew needier with each teasing swirl.
He leaned his head forward and placed a kiss on her forehead, then moved down slightly and kissed her nose, then her lips and her chin, and then he kissed the hollow of her throat and the spot just between her breasts. Amanda moaned and writhed on the bed beneath him.
He looked up at her with those dark eyes of his dancing with pleasure and hunger. At that moment, he allowed both of his thumbs to just barely brush the tips of her nipples.
Amanda cried out in her sleep and writhed in her bed. Her breathing increased to quick little puffs as she tossed her head and the dream continued on.
Cole grinned at her and inched farther down her body. He placed a kiss at the base of her sternum and followed the kiss with a flick of his tongue.
He drug his teeth down the length of her abdomen to nip at her belly button before running his tongue around it once before continuing on his journey southward.
He pressed a kiss to the slick outer lips of her womanhood and he ran his tongue slowly over the crease of her folds.
Amanda’s body arched in her bed and her eyes snapped open. She was covered in sweat and her breath came in quick gasps. Her thighs were moist with her arousal and she pressed them together as she lay there, trying to reclaim control over her own body.
She raised both hands and raked her fingers through her hair and curling her fingers into fists as her arms flopped onto her pillow on either side of her head. As she lay there, she began to realize that every few moments, her body would pulse with arousal and a dull wave of pleasure would roll through her like waves rolling in and out with the tide.
Her brows drew together at the strangeness of the sensation. It was as if it came from outside of herself. Her stomach began to twist into knots as the realization slowly dawned on her.
Cole.
It had to be coming from Cole. A moment later, a more powerful burst of pleasure flowed through her. The feeling had her so wet she wanted to scream with her arousal and yet at the same time, she pulled her hands from her hair and covered her face as she suffered through the waves of pleasure which finally began to grow shorter and less powerful until it finally faded away into small pulses like little aftershocks.
Amanda rolled onto her side and drew her knees up against her chest. He could have been doing it alone. Maybe he was doing it alone. A small cynical voice deep within her mind told her otherwise. What were the odds that a man like that would go for so long with an empty bed? He’d probably made up with his pregnant wife or girlfriend or whoever she was and they were having wild passionate makeup sex.
She tossed and turned for the rest of the night, tormented by nightmares filled with a naked Cole writhing with a dozen nameless, faceless women in his bed.
Amanda had hoped that it was just a one-time thing. Some sort of fluke that had caused her to feel what she’d felt that night but that did not seem to be the case. That first night was just the beginning. Every night she had a different dream but they always starred Cole and her in various different sexual acts. She always woke up before she could find her own satisfaction in the dream.
Everything outside went quiet and Amanda leaned back, turning to stare at the door. “It’s awfully quiet out there.”Emma turned as well to stare at the door with a look of concern and hope on her face. “Do you think that’s a good sign or a bad sign?”Amanda shook her head. “I don’t know. I hope it’s a good sign.”Suddenly a howl echoed through the area and Amanda jumped in surprise.Is it over with? Have we won?There was no reply for several moments and Amanda’s fear suddenly kicked up by several notches.Cole? What was the howl—Her question was cut off when a host of other howls joined in with the first. Amanda’s tension relaxed, but only slightly. She offered Emma a slightly nervous smile. “I think that sounds like a good thing.”A moment later, there was the sound of scratching at the door. Amanda nodded to Emma. “Check first, look and see who and what it is. Don’t open it until you’re sure.”Emma nodded and hurried over to the door. She peeked through the window and then she lau
“I guess it was about the next morning when I began to hear thoughts.” She smiled then and shook her head. “They were simple thoughts. So simple. He couldn’t think much at all, but they were the sweetest words I’d ever heard. Things like ‘Pretty’ and ‘Mine’ and ‘Love’. Just short words like that.”Emma took a shaky breath and let it out slowly. “Nobody had ever called me pretty before. Not until Sean. I was just the nerdy science girl that everyone liked to make fun of. Never the pretty girl. Sean not only saved me, but he gave me the one thing I’d never had before. He made me feel beautiful. And he kept me alive. We kept each other alive.”Her voice grew sad and quieter still. “Once Gibson figured out that we were not going to kill each other, and that we were only making each other stronger, he took me away. He locked me in that cage and we were never allowed to see each other again. They began testing on me next. It didn’t matter though. I could still hear Sean’s thoughts. I could
Some metal shelving stretched from the wall out into the center of the room a good way. The shelves were covered in empty beakers and boxes as well as bottles of chemicals and other tools.Amanda looked back over at Emma. “So how did you end up here? Did they catch you when they caught the grey wolf?”Emma shook her head. “No. I—“ She sat on one of the other chairs and fidgeted with the sleeves of the sweater. “I used to work here.” She didn’t lift her head as she said the words and she subtly shifted away from Amanda.“You mean you mated with the grey wolf here? In this place?”Emma nodded.“What happened?”“Gibson brought them in about five years ago. I don’t know where they came from but they were both injured. None of us even thought that they would actually even survive but they did. And when Gibson was sure that they weren’t going to die, he put the stakes in their brains so that he could try to control them and use them.”Amanda waited and watched the woman’s posture and expres
She heard the grey wolf give a little growl at her words and his mate snickered softly.Cole turned his head and fixed a death glare on the grey wolf.Amanda laughed again softly and cupped his cheek with her palm. “Shh. It’s alright. He was just being playful.” She grew somewhat somber then and sighed softly. “I want this place wiped clean. I don’t want to leave one single person alive unless they are victims like these three. We kill all of the bastards that run this place and we sweep the entire area for prisoners. Yes?”Cole bowed his head once and then nuzzled her ear and then he turned his body around and crouched down low to the ground.Amanda climbed onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She let out a heavy sigh. She was safe now. He had come to get her and now she was safe.Cole issued a growl to the others and they ran down the hallway to join the rest of the wolves that were still fighting. We’re going to take you and the blonde up to the surface and then we’r
“Oh nothing, we’re just making room. I still have more questions for you though, if you’re still willing to answer them of course.”The man moved forward but he stopped again at those words. “Well? Go on. I’m getting quite tired of standing here.”“Well, you said that Hollywood has it wrong and wolves cannot transmit their ability to shift forms. If it can’t be transmitted in that way, why do you think that the key to their healing abilities lies in something that can even be researched and discovered? I mean, if that were the case, wouldn’t their ability to shift be something that they could transmit through a scratch or a bite or something like that?”Amanda saw the grey wolf’s ear twitch and turn slightly toward the other end of the hall. Amanda still couldn’t hear them but she knew that the wolves must be able to hear them already.The scientist stood there for a moment looking stumped. His brows knit, then rose, then he frowned and his face began to turn a shade of reddish-purple
Something happened earlier when you began to feel the other wolves and move things with your mind? There was some kind of explosion. We felt it all the way out where we were when it happened. It was like some sort of shockwave. They felt it too and they all came.That’s crazy.Yeah. It’s crazy and I’ve never heard anything like it even in our legends which I used to think were mostly old stories the elders made up to try to keep young wolves in line.We’re coming in now.Amanda lifted her shoulders in a careless shrug. “They’re not your pets. They’re people and they are a whole hell of a lot better people than you.”The man scoffed and reached into his lab coat and pulled a gun from a hidden holster. He pointed it at the black wolf. “This gun is loaded with silver bullets. That does kill your kind. One of the few things Hollywood actually did get right.”“It’s a shame you had to go and ruin my pets. They used to do such a good job. They’ve killed hundreds maybe even thousands of their
