chapter 15

Caleb hadn’t been raised by a proper pack. He wasn’t sure how the mating call worked with wolves, never mind an interspecies mating.

But he’d been increasingly suspicious, wondering if she could feel the same connection growing within him. If she was in heat, anything else was possible.

“So you feel it? Tell me what you feel, Bethany.”

She wriggled on the bed, touching his arm. “I don’t know. I just … believe you. I know you’re not lying to me. There’s something about you, a pull, a connection.”

Caleb exhaled with relief. She did feel it. The scratch gave her more than desire, it had started a genuine mating bond. “I wanted to do things right. To show you how important you are to me. If I’d known—”

“Don’t apologize, Caleb.” Her hand slid lower until her hand wrapped around his leather belt.

“Just fix me. We both know there’s only one way to do that now.”

He shook his head. “I don’t want you to hate me tomorrow. I’m not a bastard.”

She smiled. “I’m asking you, Caleb.”

“Do you understand what you’re asking? I’m not sure if it’s you or the heat talking.”

Was she lust drunk or did she crave him the same way he craved her? “Don’t make me beg. I’m twenty-five. I’ve waited a long time to give my body to the right man,” she said. “That man is you.”

He was going to fuck her so deep and hard she’d forget he was a wolf. All she’d think about was the next time she’d get cock.

He’d been prepared to take the long road and court Bethany on her terms. This quick mating was thrust on him, but he’d make the best of it. He wasn’t skilled in human etiquette, but he’d show her exactly how a man should claim a woman.

No human male had the skill, size, or sexual prowess of a shifter. He’d enjoy claiming his prize, every minute of it.

Caleb thought she was losing her mind because she was begging for sex after only two dates. No, she wasn’t drunk. Or high. Bethany knew exactly what she wanted. In fact, her mind had never been clearer. Her path was unfolding before her eyes, a beautiful future she’d never expected for herself. Whatever Caleb had done to her last night had turned her world upside down. It was like they were in sync—she could sense his mood, his intentions.

What she’d never anticipated was her Prince Charming turning out to be a werewolf. It was too crazy to comprehend. How could she have gone through life without knowing they existed? How could anyone? They were only old wives’ tales and folklore. Little did she know they were probably based on reality. But right now, her body felt like a volcano of heat and molten energy.

She’d worry about the details tomorrow.

Caleb was the hottest guy she’d ever met. The couple of dates they’d been on had been better than she imagined possible. He liked her, and she believed him when he said he wanted to be with her forever. With her insecurities of being abandoned calmed, all she could focus on was sex. No more games, no more dates.

“I’ve never been with a werewolf,” she said, teasing him. All those hard muscles looked edible. She wondered if he’d take her hard and feral like a wolf or gentle like a man. With her current state of need, she hoped he didn’t hold back.

He smirked. “You haven’t been with any man, little one.” Caleb crawled down her body, rubbing his face into her curves as he descended. His rough hands slid under her shirt, along her bare skin. Her body felt hot, like a fever to end all fevers. Every cell was alive and hypersensitive.

“What are you going to do to me?” She closed her eyes, savoring his touch.

“Claim you and your virginity as mine.” Caleb spread her thighs and kissed her pussy through her pants.

She gasped as her entire body jolted in response. “This is mine.”

She twisted and turned on the bed. “It’s starting again,” she said.

He took a deep breath and exhaled with a deep growl. The sound traveled to her clit. “You’re ripe for the taking. I’ll try to be gentle.”

Bethany shook her head. “No, I need more than gentle tonight.”

He grabbed the edge of her pants and pulled them off her body, then spread her legs wide. Her little pink lace panties bnoozbbeocarely hid her pussy. If she wasn’t hornier than hell, she would have felt uncomfortable and shy being on display.

“You’re wet.” He pulled the material to one side, running the tip of his finger up and down her slit. She arched up, needing so much more than his touch. He removed her panties, tossing them across the room.

The next thing she felt was his hot, wet mouth clamping down on her pussy.

She screamed out loud, her own voice startling her. He used his tongue to tease and toy with her most sensitive folds. When he began to suckle on her clit, she grabbed the sheets in both fists and braced as another orgasm burst free. Waves of release kept pulsing on and on allqshr.

But she was still unsated. She needed his cock.

“More.”

Caleb kicked off his pants, his massive erection bobbing free. He was definitely an animal. Heat flooded her pussy again.

“I want those tits. Take off your shirt.”

She struggled out of her top and removed her bra as well. Bethany wasn’t small-chested by any means and her breasts fell heavily to both sides. He groaned as he lowered over her chest, holding her tits to the center where he began licking her nipples.

The added stimulation made her moan and drift in and out of reality. He knew exactly how to touch, lick, and kiss to drive her crazy. He suckled her breasts, making the most feral sounds.

“Caleb…”

“You’re delicious. I can’t get enough of you.”

He positioned his entire body between her legs, bracing his weight on his forearms. As he stared at her, there was a luminescent quality to his gray eyes. Something otherworldly.

His broad shoulders were corded with muscle.

His biceps rock hard. She reached her arms around his neck, and he leaned down to kiss her lips. She sighed as their lips met. He tasted and explored before claiming her mouth.

The kiss was hard and passionate, reaching an intensity that left her breathless. He devoured her, leaving her completely spineless on the bed.

One of his hands moved lower and he positioned his huge cock at her entrance. She braced for pain, but he pushed the wide mushroom head inside her slowly, tentatively. Her body was wet and desperate.

She panted in anticipation, a mix of nerves and excitement. “Hush, baby. Take it all for me.”

She accepted every inch until he was fully seated. Her virginity belonged to Caleb. Belonged to a wolf.
