chapter 31

He used some natural salve to coat his erection and spread a healthy galop to her asshole, spearing the virgin hole with two fingers. She tensed as he impaled her.

Her virgin hole was tight. He couldn’t wait to feel her around his cock.

“Relax, Bethany. Don't be tense. This little virgin hole needs to be stretched.”

He used his other hand to reach around her, circling her clit. Simultaneously, he rimmed her asshole with a finger. He pleasured her until her nerves eased and desire increased.

“My wolf is eager to claim you.”

“Tell your wolf to take it easy. I’m not a she-wolf.”

He chuckled, leaning over her body to kiss the back of her shoulder. Then he stood at the end of the bed, looking down at her body.

Her ass was lush and jiggled when he smacked it. He spanked her a few more times, leaving pretty red marks on her pale ass. She was the epitome of femininity and drove him wild.

“You’ve got to tell me how you feel until I get some experience on being a mated male.

I don’t want anything tearing us apart again.” He kissed her ass cheeks then helped hoist her up to her knees. “I love you. Every part of you.”

“Be careful,” she said as he pressed the tip of his cock at her rear entrance. “I’m scared.”

He sensed her trepidation, so he rubbed small circles over her clit as he pushed the head of his cock into her tight ass. “Such a gorgeous ass. All mine.” His wolf growled as he disappeared into her virgin hole.

Her entire body tensed, but he felt her start to relax once he was balls deep inside her. She was so fucking tight, mercilessly squeezing his cock. He wanted to howl but kept some semblance of control.

“I feel so full. So dirty. More, Caleb…”

Caleb licked her mating bite then sucked the spot, making all her inhibitions vanish. She tested her muscles around his erection, pressing back against him, and mewled like a female in heat.

He pumped his hips, fucking her ass, his speed increasing to match her pace. It was an effort not to come when she was so damn tight and receptive.

“Oh God, Caleb.” She panted heavily, gasping and moaning.

His fangs lengthened. Caleb closed his eyes, breathed in deep, and sank his fangs into his mate once again. She went wild, crying out and grabbing the blankets. He pumped his hips as she milked his cock, spasming around him as he finally allowed himself to come in her ass.

He dropped down beside her, his chest sheen from clean sweat. She rolled over to face him.

“You’re all mine now.”

She smiled. “Will that love bite always feel the same?” “One of the pleasures of being mated.”

Bethany cuddled up into the crook of his arm. “Maybe I should bite you, too?”

He chuckled. “With your blunt teeth? Sounds painful.” “I thought wolves weren’t afraid of anything.”

He looked into the eyes of his mate, so fucking in love and ready to spend the rest of his life making her happy. “Only of losing you.”.

****

She wasn’t used to being the center of attention. Bethany had sailed through life without being noticed.

Right now, she felt like a princess, like Snow White. Heather adjusted the ties at the back of her wedding dress again. It was a herculean task keeping her bosom in check. She couldn’t wait to see Caleb’s face when he saw her in her wedding dress.

Forest animals kept creeping in to see what was happening—bunnies, deer, and every kind of little creature. They adored Heather and she noticed they were all naturally curious.

“Make sure it’s secure,” said Bethany. “I don’t want it exploding when we’re saying our vows.”

“It’s safe, don’t worry about a thing.”

Heather finished up and then stood in front of her. “Perfect. Caleb will freak out.”

She smiled. There were only two other women she spent any time with. Heather and her younger sister Mika. They’d merged with Caleb’s pack, along with their uncle.

Their father, the alpha, had been killed by the rogue bear. Their mother had died by the hands of hunters many years ago.

“How many people are coming again?” asked Bethany. She wasn’t good with big crowds, and her nerves were starting to get the better of her.

“Well, besides the pack, Joe and his sleuth are all coming. Not many, so don’t worry. We were going to invite some of your friends from the diner, but the guys can’t be trusted to behave. Best not to have humans around.” Then she corrected herself. “Except you, of course.”

Bethany giggled. “David will love you in that dress.” She shrugged.

Caleb said he’d felt something the moment he encountered Heather in the woods. The other packmates felt it, too.

They were certain she was David’s fated mate, but they’d been avoiding each other, so she wasn’t so sure. There was definitely something going on with the two of them, but she didn’t want to pry.

Bethany looked at her reflection in the mirror leaning against a tree. Heather had put some curls in her hair and braided in some sprigs of flowers. She felt beautiful and excited to make their mating official in the human world. They’d already received their legal marriage certificate, so the ceremony was for her benefit. Joe was going to act as the officiant.

“I’ve never seen Caleb in a suit. He lives in his jeans and old t-shirts.”

Mika sat on a tree stump. “Your mate cleans up nicely. You’ll be pleasantly surprised, I’m sure.”

“You’ve seen him?” asked Bethany.

“He’s a mess. He’s terrified to screw things up. This is the first wedding he’s ever been a part of.”

“That’s okay.

The fact he’s making the effort at all makes me happy.” Music began to play at the front of the house. She tensed. This was it.

They’d been getting ready behind the house so Caleb wouldn’t see her beforehand.

Heather clapped her hands. “That’s our cue.”

She bit the inside of her lip.

Mika and Heather carried the length of her dress and they made their way to the front of the house. They had spent the past few days decorating and cleaning up the area where they’d say their vows. Joe loaned them some folding chairs he had stored in the back of the diner.

Everything was perfect—simple, crazy, rustic, and perfect.

As they turned the corner of the house, she saw Caleb standing at the beautiful makeshift altar he’d constructed with his own hands. He’d gone above and beyond trying to make today a dream come true for her.

His hair was combed back and the man filled out a suit in an unholy way. The moment she caught sight of him, tears filled her eyes. She didn’t want to ruin Mika’s make-up job, but her happiness was just too much.

He stared at her, watching every step she took. When she reached him, they joined hands. “I don’t know what to say,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything so breathtaking in my life.”

“Thank you.”

“This what you dreamed of, sweetheart?” “This is everything and more.”

She looked around. All her new friends watched from their seats. The decorations and effort Caleb and his pack had put into making this day special were incredible. This was her new forest home, now and forever. There was no place else she ever wanted to be.

Joe took his spot at the head of the altar and began to recite the vows from a sheet of paper. All these shifters were accommodating her human side, and it touched her so deeply.

“Do you take Caleb to be your husband and mate for the rest of your life?”

“I do,” she said. life?”

“Do you take Bethany to be your wife and mate for the rest of your “I do.”

His deep baritone sent shivers through her body.

He maintained intense eye contact the entire time, as if there was no audience, just the two of them.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. And life mates. You can now kiss your bride,” Joe said, stepping back.

Caleb smirked, that evil, sexy smirk that always made her heart flutter. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Someone whistled. Then he bent down and kissed her. Not a token kiss, but a kiss to end all kisses.

The entire forest went away and she slipped into that sweet zone only Caleb could bring her to.

It was the hoots and hollers that pulled her back to reality. They looked around and laughed together.

“Get a room!” shouted Brian.

The small crowd began to throw confetti, so they held hands and escaped into the house. Caleb kicked the door shut behind them.

“What about the buffet outside? It took forever to prepare,” she said. “I have all I need right here. They’ll all be fine without us.” He narrowed his eyes and growled, half-human, half-wolf. Her pussy immediately flooded with warmth.

“But…”

He licked his lips and she was a goner.

“You don’t wear a wedding dress like that and expect me to attend the after party,” he said, running the backs of his fingers over her mountainous cleavage.

“It’s hard to get off,” she warned. Bethany twisted slightly to the side to show all the ties holding the ensemble together. In one quick movement, he used his wolf claws to slit all the ties. The dress fell into a cloud of white on the ground around her.

She stood naked, her mouth agape. “No panties?” He cocked a brow. Bethany shrugged.

He stalked forward and she kept backing up. “So, we’ve consummated our mating. But, from what I’ve researched, the honeymoon is when humans get to fuck after the wedding, right?”

“Yes.”

“Anything goes?”

She tried to hide her smile. “Anything goes.”

He chased her into their bedroom and slammed the door behind them.
