After all the drama, it's time for business.I need to remind Ivor what our mission here actually is. Being angry about his unhappy mating is his personal business; work should not suffer because of that. And now, with the King-Mother's breath on my neck, I have no desire to hang around the women. The rest of the meal proceeds in silence, everyone processing the events of the last hour in private.I sigh deeply; Ralph will not take this well. He urged me to keep the atmosphere stress-free, to protect his pregnant mate from all things upsetting her. I have to do everything I can to correct the conditions here. Maybe when the women return from their shopping spree, they will be back in the good mood that prevailed before. When I finish eating, I apologize for having to get to work. I walk to Ivor's bedroom to get the man so we can leave for Conselho Construction to take care of business. When I try to knock on his bedroom door, my hand halts halfway up in t
She is like the perfect fit in my arms, her scent intoxicating me.All I want is to take her, and quickly too. She shudders in my arms, I'm sure she feels the mate bond also. But then I notice her wolf scent is missing. Ooohh goodness, another human mate. I don't feel like that lengthy procedure of courting and then gently introducing her to my werewolf origin. I want to go straight to business, there is too much going on in the palace to spend much time lecturing my mate. I hold her away and look at her closely.Her eyes stare at me wistfully. With her, I am going to use my Lycan tricks to bring her to her knees within a short period of time. "Natalie," she whispers in response to my question. I smile at her. "Do you want to come with me, Natalie? I'm going to solve a case with my friend here and then we can have a drink somewhere and catch up. Okay?". She quickly looks behind her as if afraid someone might hear our conversation. "I'm at work now. Until
This mating thing feels right.Now I understand Ivor and Ralph's urgent affection for their fated mate. Once you have her in your arms, you don't want to let her go. All those uncontrolled feelings running through you; adoration, lust and the desire to protect her from all the evil in the world. But then it struck me how remarkable it is that Ivor and I both found our mate within a day. For decades we talked about this, like Ralph we had a series of one-night stands. Not that we were really looking forward to their arrival, but we knew the day would come. I had promised to be open and honest with my fated. I would allow her to choose whether to stay with me of her own will. But I hadn't counted on a human mate. That brings up other issues I have to consider. I'll have to take it slow, there are a few issues I noticed with her that need to be straightened out before I introduce her into my world. For this moment, I am going to enjoy this wonderful feeling
Actually, I am shocked by my mate's willingness to cooperate with what I clearly intend to do with her. Having sex, a lot of it. This is not really what a virgin would do; I expected her to balk a bit and for me to have to use all my charms to win her over.But she doesn't resist for a moment, which makes me wonder if she does this more often, inviting men into her home for a solid night of sex. Or is there something else going on?! Well, I guess I'll never know. At her direction, I park in the spot assigned to her apartment. I open the door for her and jump out of the car myself. We rush toward the elevator and when the doors close, I take her in my arms. Eagerly she raises her head to me and offers me her lips. Before I accept her offer, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and take several deep breaths. Nope, no scent of even a single man. I even believe she's still a virgin. But her actions prove otherwise. What is going on here? Is she sacrificing
I hold still, stroking her back and whispering reassuringly nothings in her ear.When I claim her lips again, I feel her slowly relax. "Go when you are ready, my love. I will wait for you," I encourage her softly. With her face still in a pained grimace, she nods. Quietly I wait for her to get used to the feeling of me inside her, nibbling her earlobe, sipping at the skin of her neck. One hand moves to her breast again and I tease her until she goes crazy with lust.Her walls start milking my cock and I barely hold on. Then she begins moving slowly and soon has built up a reasonable pace. Sweat beads on my forehead from my willpower to hold back. But that is short-lived. When I notice her movements becoming urgent, I pick it up from there and drive us on. Each time I feel my orgasm approaching, I pause and kiss her deeply until my urge subsides a bit and I'm able to move inside her again, deep and confident. But when she gasps in my ear as she clings to me, I can't continue this act.
Rain's POV This is the third shopping mall we hit.Alidya and Magda seem tireless, but I'm barely able to shift afoot. We shopped on and on, the security guards Ivor left with us are filling the car with our purchases. We have more than enough, but my mother-in-law doesn't know when to stop. "My Queen, I'm dead tired. Can't we go back and buy the rest of the items on the list another day?" I beseech Ralph's mother. She looks up and her eyes soften. She reaches out her hand and caresses my face. "Of course, Saray. Let's eat something at the restaurant first so you'll regain your strength for the trip back," she indicates. I nod; food sounds good to my ears. The last few days I just can't get enough in, the twins seem to be constantly hungry. Leaning on Magda, I reach the restaurant. One of the guards escorts us to a VIP room where we can sit undisturbed. There is always a chance we bump into werewolves in the area and we really want to avoid being swarmed by all kinds o
I cry my eyes out in my bedroom.I will never forgive Eric for this. Why didn't he just wait until I finished speaking to the man, what was the rush for? Or was the man the danger he was talking about? My brain refuses to believe that. Dan man stared at me lovingly, I sensed that he couldn't wait to take me in his arms. I must have meant a lot to him in my earlier life, the passion in his eyes proved that. Is he perhaps the reason why I have no sexual feelings for Ralph? Was he my lover or so? Ralph feels like my best friend but not a lover. A soft knock on the room door pulls me out of my musings.Magda's scent approaches me. "Saray. Come, eat something. The babies need it," she urges softly. I smile, earlier she called my babies, pups just like everyone else. Without thinking, she adopted this, without asking questions. My friend unknowingly comes to embrace our werewolf culture. I get up from the bed and unlock the door. Cautiously she steps inside, he
The atmosphere in the dining hall is excellent. But the incident in the mall sticks with me. I will have to find an appropriate time and go back to the mall again in hopes of learning from the waitress exactly who that gorgeous man was. I already know his name is Jasper, but I need to know where to find him. Eric watches aloofly; he seems to have forgotten about the incident of an hour ago. Everyone laughs and jokes and I join in too. But then the dining room door opens and no one but my mate steps in. "Ralph!" I exclaim and jump off my chair to run toward him. He opens his arms wide and I throw myself against his chest. Relieved, I lay my head against his body as he presses me against him. "My Queen. How did the shopping go?" he asks, smiling. "I saw a teeming car parked outside." I look up at his happily beaming face and kiss him briefly on the lips. It feels like I've landed in a safe haven. "We're almost done. The King-Mother is really on a roll and Magda is stepp
