INICIAR SESIÓNHe didn't walk out of the library. Neither did I.
For a long moment we just stood there, his hand was still resting against my jaw, and we were both breathing like we'd run miles instead of standing perfectly still. Then something in him broke loose all at once, and his mouth was on mine before either of us decided it should be, one hand sliding into my hair while the other gripped my waist like he needed something to hold onto. I kissed him back without a single thought toward stopping. He walked me backward until my spine hit the edge of the heavy oak desk, lifting me onto it without breaking the kiss, settling himself between my knees like he belonged there. His mouth moved from my lips to my jaw to the sensitive skin below my ear, teeth scraping just hard enough to make me gasp, and I heard him mutter something low and rough against my throat that might have been my name, might have been a curse, might have been both. "Tell me to stop," he said, even as his hands were already working the buttons of my shirt loose, and his knuckles were brushing bare skin with every one he freed. "Tell me now, because in about ten seconds I'm not going to be able to." "Don't stop," I said, and I meant it with every cell in my body. He made a sound like something in him had finally surrendered, and then my shirt was gone, and my bra followed it to the floor, and his mouth closed hot and wet around my left nipple while his thumb rolled the other between his fingers until I was arching off the desk, fisting my hands in his hair. He pulled me flush against him, and I could feel exactly how much he wanted this, and his dick pressed hard and thick against my thigh through the fabric of his slacks. "You have no idea," he growled against my skin, dragging his mouth lower, over my ribs, my stomach, "how long I've had to pretend I didn't notice you walking around this house. Pretend I wasn't half out of my mind every single time you were in the same room as me, imagining exactly what your skin would taste like." He dragged my jeans and panties down my legs in one motion, dropped to his knees in front of the desk, and hooked my thighs over his shoulders before I fully understood what was happening. "Fuck," he breathed, staring up at me, eyes dark and wild. "Look at this pretty pussy. Already soaked and I haven't even touched you." His mouth found me a second later, with his tongue dragging flat and slow through my folds before circling hard against my clit, and I cried out loud enough that he had to reach up and press two fingers against my lips to muffle the sound. "Quiet," he murmured against my thigh, dark amusement in his voice even through the haze of what he was doing to me. "Unless you want the whole house to hear exactly how good my tongue makes this pussy feel." I bit down on my own hand instead, my hips buckled against his mouth, and when he slid two thick fingers inside my pussy to match the rhythm of his tongue, curling them deep, finding some spot that made my whole body seize, I shattered completely, gripping the edge of the desk hard enough to leave marks in the old wood. He didn't stop until I'd ridden it out fully against his mouth, groaning against my slick skin like he was the one being pleasured. He stood, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. His eyes had gone completely wild, and he shoved his slacks down. His cock sprang free, thick and hard and flushed dark, curving up toward his stomach with a bead of pre-cum already sliding down the shaft, and my whole body clenched just looking at him. "Kade, wait—" A flicker of nerves cut through everything else. "I've never done this before." He went utterly still; his hand wrapped around his dick, and his thumb dragged slowly through the wetness beading at the tip, with his jaw locking tight. "Never?" I shook my head, with my cheeks burning even through everything else I was feeling. Something moved across his face. He felt softer, but with more hunger, hunger and something gentler. "Then I'm going to take my time with you," he said, dragging the head of his cock through my wet folds, and my hips jerked as whimpering sounds escaped my lips. He guided himself to my entrance, and pushed just the head in slowly, watching every flicker of my expression. "But I promise you, by the time I'm done, this body is only ever going to know how to want me." Then he pushed the rest of dick into my pussy inch by inch, watching me moan very filthy every time I clenched around him, stopping anytime I let out a loud gasp, and pushing deeper only when I nodded, until I felt impossibly stretched around him, full in a way I'd never imagined. By the time he was fully seated, and buried to the hilt, we were both shaking. His forehead pressed to mine, and we were both breathing the same ragged air. "Fuck—" he rasped, flexing his hips in one slow, testing roll that— "Ffuucckkkkkk—" we both moaned loudly, and went quiet and the same time, then we were just looking at ourselves. "Fuck, you're tight," he rasped, fully seated inside me now, with his forehead dropping to mine. "Urghhh— Wet and mine. This pussy belongs to me. Say it. Only me.” "Yours," I breathed. "Say the whole thing. Say this pussy is mine." "This pussy is yours, Kade— Only you." "Fuck—“ He screamed. He started moving, slow and deep at first, dragging almost all the way out before sinking back into the hilt. Hos hand braced on the desk beside my hip and the other gripping my thigh very hard, murmuring crazy things against my throat with every stroke. "Mine, you're mine, nobody else ever gets this, nobody else ever gets to hear you make that sound" His pace was building faster, harder, and the wet slap of skin and the creak of the old desk the only sounds in the room besides our breathing. He angled his hips just slightly and the next stroke dragged straight over a spot inside me that made my vision go completely, and— "Fuck—" I came apart around him, with his hand clamped over my mouth to muffle the scream. My pusy walls was clenching so hard around his cock that he cursed out loud. He followed seconds later, cumming and spilling deep inside me in long, shuddering pulses, groaning my name against my throat with something that sounded almost like grief. Afterward he pulled me into his lap. We were both catching our breath, and for a long, fragile minute neither of us said anything at all. His hand traced slow, absent circles against my bare back. "You weren't lying," he said quietly. "You've never done this before." I didn't answer. I didn't have to. The proof was right there on the sheets between us. He didn't pull away. He didn't reach for his clothes or throw anything at me or call it a mistake out loud. Or anything I thought in my mind about how this could go wrong. He just sat there, holding me, and I could see the muscle jumping, staring at nothing over my shoulder like he was having an argument with himself he was already losing. "This can't happen again," he finally said, so quietly I barely picked the words. "Not because of what we just did. Because of everything it means if we let it keep happening." "What does this mean?" He didn't answer. He just held on tighter, like letting go was the actual problem, and by morning, when I woke up alone in my own bed with no memory of him carrying me there, I understood that whatever answer he'd been avoiding, he'd already decided it wasn't one he was willing to give me.KADE’S POVSeven years.Seven years since Nadia disappeared without a single word, and I still hadn’t found a version of myself that didn’t check every room for her the second I walked into it. Restaurants. Airports. Once, absurdly, a grocery store three states away, because a woman with her exact walk had turned down the cereal aisle and my whole chest had seized before I even caught up to my own feet.I told myself, at the time, that pushing her toward hatred was some kind of mercy. That if I was cold enough, cruel enough, distant enough, she’d forget me faster and go build a life that didn’t have a werewolf Alpha wrecking it from the inside out. I told myself a lot of things, back then, that let me sleep at night.It was the worst lie I ever told myself, and I’ve had seven years to catalogue the competition.I married Selene eight months after Nadia vanished. It lasted less than two years. Selene wanted an Alpha who could actually love her, and by the time she asked me for that, pl
I stayed for three more days after the engagement announcement, mostly because leaving suddenly would have raised questions I wasn’t ready to answer, and partly because some stubborn, humiliated part of me kept waiting for him to knock on my door and take it all back.He never did.I watched the house rearrange itself around Selene instead, with Diane looping her into wedding talk over breakfast, and my father asking polite questions about her family’s territory like this was just another ordinary alliance instead of the thing that had quietly ended something I’d never gotten the chance to name out loud.And then he was there too. Kade sat through all of it with the same composed distance he’d worn for six weeks, except now it had a fiancée attached to it, official and permanent in a way that made the terrace kiss feel almost like something I’d imagined.He found me on the second day, alone in the upstairs hallway, and for one unguarded second I thought he might finally say something
I sat on the edge of my bathtub staring at two pink lines that didn’t waver no matter how many times I blinked at them.Six weeks of him barely looking at me. Six weeks of clipped hallway greetings and locked office doors and a silence that felt like punishment, though I still don’t know if he was getting punished too.He started leaving before breakfast and coming home after everyone else was asleep, and the only time I’d caught him in the kitchen at midnight, he’d looked at me like I was something he needed very far away from himself.I sat on that bathroom floor for almost an hour, pressed one hand flat against my stomach, trying to reconcile the two lines with the six weeks of nothing that had come before them.By the time I made the appointment two days later, deep down I already knew what the doctor was going to tell me, even though I wished with all my heart that it wasn’t true, but I knew it, I felt it. I sat in the waiting room of the clinic, flipping through a magazine I did

NADIA'S POVI was nineteen the night the storm knocked out half the county's power grid and trapped me in a cellar with the one person in that house who'd spent three years pretending I didn't exist.Kade wasn't even supposed to be home. He'd been called back that afternoon, some border skirmish rumor rippling through pack channels, rogue scouts spotted too close to our territory line, and by the time the sirens went off for the shelter drill, he was the one hauling me down the cellar stairs by the wrist instead of my dad, because my dad and Diane were three streets over at a neighbor's, and the storm hit faster than anyone predicted."Move," he said, shoving the door shut behind us as the house groaned above our heads.I'd never been alone with him for longer than the time it took to pass the salt at dinner. Now I was watching him drag a shelving unit in front of the door with one arm, like it weighed nothing, his jaw tight with something that wasn't just concentration."Is it actual
