Elaina
Finally, we arrive at the parking lot, Anna is waiting as patiently as ever. It’s still early, and we’re the only people there, thank goodness. We step into the back, look at each other, our bodies trembling with an identical need.
“Not here. Let’s go home,” he says.I grin, knowing what he means. This is home. But so is the crumbling old parking lot with the river running alongside it. He rummages in a cupboard, finds a T-shirt and shorts and pulls them on, while I slip into my T-shirt, my panties, reach for my jeans.But he stops me. “That’s enough,” he growls.He wants me to sit in the passenger seat in just my panties? Okay then.“What about your bike?” I ask as we take our seats. “Don’t you want to ride it back?”“I’ll pick it up later.” He gives me another burning look. “There’s no way I’m letting you out of my sight right now.”A shiver of delight goes through me.I’m his. I’m really his, I keep telling myself.THE RAIN HAS CLEARED NOW and the morning sunshine is brilliant as we drive back to Perdue Town. Edwards asks me about the last couple of days. Where I learned to drive a bus. I sense he’s keeping the conversation light. There’s a lot to talk about, but now is not the time.
Now is the time to satisfy our burning need for each other.As he drives, his big hand rests on my thigh. Affectionate at first, then riding higher, higher.“Spread those sweet thighs for me,” he murmurs.I comply eagerly, and his hand slides up, up until he’s cupping my pussy through my panties. As he strokes the flimsy fabric with light fingertips, I moan in anticipation.A little growl escapes his throat. “Tell me what you want, honey,” he says. “Tell me what you need.”“I need you right here,” I manage to say.“Then move those panties out of the way.”I do as he says, yanking the fabric aside, exposing myself for him. He drags his eyes away from the road and takes me in. “So pretty, baby. So perfect,” he says.He presses his hand against my bare pussy. I’m drenched, and his touch on my aching clit is electric. He’s a master at teasing me. He spreads my labia, caresses me with featherlight strokes, presses a fingertip just at my entrance before pulling away again. I close my eyes, tip my head back and give in to the sighs and moans spilling from my lips.“You’re so wet for me, baby,” he croons. “Does my baby want my cock?”“Yes,” I say, because it’s all I can think about right now. That big, thick cock of his, filling me up. “I want you to take my virginity,” I say. I hear his breath catching, and it’s the sexiest thing I can imagine.“Yes, that’s right little wolf. I’m going to take your virginity. Make you mine,” he says. When I open my eyes, I see his cock has tented his pants, and there’s a damp spot from his pre-cum. If we’re not home in minutes, I’m gonna make him pull over on the side of the road and I’ll jump right in his lap.Several long, agonizing minutes pass. He keeps touching me, driving my arousal, pushing me to the point where I spasm around his fingertip, then drawing back. Playing my body like I’m he’s a virtuoso and I’m a violin.Finally, the river appears, a streak of pure gold on the right-hand side of the road, then the parking lot. Our little piece of paradise.As he pulls into the usual spot beside the motorcycle trailer, my heart hammers in my chest. The tension in the air is thick. Finally, this moment I’ve longed for, for days is here.There’s something different in his eyes now, something wild and unfettered, and I know he won’t hold back this time. My heart thrills with it.He jumps out of the bus. “Wait right there,” he says, and disappears into the interior.He’s gone for a few minutes, and I force myself not to turn my head and see what he’s up to.At last, he’s back. He opens my door and catches me up in his arms.Then he carries me into the back of the bus.All the mess my wolf created has been swept away, and somehow a whole double bed has been pulled out from the wall, filling the entire floor space. There’s a comforter, two pillows. All downy white and virginal.Edwards lays me down gently and he climbs on top of me, his powerful body curving around me.My heart beats hard. “You’ll be my first,” I say.“And you, mine,” he growls in my ear.He runs his hand over the curve of my belly. But when he reaches beneath the waistband of my panties, I stop him.“I’m ready for you,” I tell him. “I just want your cock. Nothing else.”“Are you sure, little virgin?”“Very.” I sit up and strip off my T-shirt and my panties. Then, while I hold his burning gaze, I spread my legs for him.A raw sound of need escapes his throat. He tears off his own clothes, and his cock springs out, bigger than ever.The world stops moving as he presses his cock to my dripping wet entrance. “I’m yours, you’re mine.” His voice is low, vibrating, close to my ear. “Your first, your last. Your mate, who will always protect you, put you first.”It’s like an incantation, wrapping me up in dizzying tendrils of need, longing, love.And the burn as he pushes through my maidenhead feels like nothing compared to the rush of pleasure that follows it. Tears spring to my eyes, and he kisses them away.I cling to him tight, overwhelmed by the tingles running through me. Little spasms growing into earth-shattering tremors.“It didn’t really hurt,” I manage to say.He laughs tenderly. “Of course not.” He strokes my face. “I told you it would be nothing like that.”“I know, I’m sorry—” I give a little gasp as more of him enters me.“Easy, honey,” he growls. “No rush.”He goes slow, caring for me, as his huge cock takes my virginity. I feel his muscles trembling, sense him holding back with everything he’s got.My thighs are tense, but suddenly I let go, and he pushes all the way into me, with a deep, vibrating growl.I give a wild cry as he fills me all the way up. My pussy throbs, burns as I yield to his massive girth. Forcing me wide open. It hurts, but it hurts so good.I cling to his back, dig my nails in, and he gives a groan of pleasure.“You feel so good,” he grits out. “So tight. Barely any room for my cock.”He works himself in and out of me, gliding on my wetness.I feel my insides gripping him tight, spasming at the blissful friction that goes on and on.He pushes my knees up and watches himself sliding in and out of me. He’s poised over me, big muscles bunched, eyes full of desire and love mingled together. It’s too much. Too much. That sweet, intense, welling sensation comes over me again. Every part of me burns for release.“Edwards, I—” I pant.“Yeah, that’s right, baby, come around my cock for the first time,” he growls. “I want to feel your virgin pussy milking me.”He goes a little faster, harder, and it hits me right there. I’m falling, falling, stars swirling all the way through me, and then I explode around him, his cock buried deep inside me.I think I scream, wail. Perhaps my animal unleashes a growl, too. And when I open my eyes again, panting for breath, Edwards’s burning eyes are staring down at me, watching it all happen.I laugh a little, embarrassed, but he kisses me, growls, “Edwardstiful,” in my ear.And then he’s flipping me, and I’m facedown.Oh, this is different. Up on my hands and knees. I feel shy like this, and I cringe a little as he runs his hands all over me.Then, with a growl of desire, his cock slides into me again.And I forget everything else.I sense him unleashing himself. He’s rougher, thrusting himself deeper into me with every stroke. His hips pound against my ass. It’s fierce, wild and I can’t get enough of it.Harder, faster. I bury my face in my hands, aware of nothing but the relentless rhythm of his cock, setting my insides on fire. Tipping me into one orgasm after another.When I’m helpless, and can’t take anymore, he lifts me up, wrapping his arms around my waist, and I feel his teeth grazing the back of my neck.“I’m going to give you my mark,” he growls.“Yes,” I gasp. “I want it, Edwards. Give it to me.”He’s giving me his claiming mark.The thought blooms in my mind, flows through my body. I close my eyes, feeling my wolf rising to the surface, bonding with his.His teeth fix on to the nape of my neck, and he fucks me harder, harder. Then with a roar, he comes, deep inside me. I feel his seed filling me up while my skin throbs from his mark.I’m his, forever. I PEER through the window of the bus. We’ve been talking and napping and snuggling all afternoon. The sun has dropped to the horizon, and the sky is shot through with pink and orange. The river lies in the shadows now, but energy snaps in its darkly sparkling water.“Will you come to the river with me?” I ask Edwards. “There’s something I want to do.”He’s sprawled out on his back beside me, and there’s a softness in his features. A new look of contentment.He runs a finger up and down the small of my back. “Sure, honey,” he says, with no hesitation.A couple of minutes later, we’re creeping across along the riverbank, butt-naked. Kind of risky, I guess, but it’s always quiet here.He dives into the water, slick as a fish, and waits for me. I splash in, less elegantly, but he catches me in his arms. The water is cool and silky. I look up and down the river. There’s no one here but us. It feels like there’s no one in the whole world.Edwards looks at me expectantly, curiosity twitching in his lips. “What are we doing here, darlin’?”I wrap my arms around his neck. Then I lift up my legs and wrap them around his waist. It’s easy like this, with the water buoying me up. I kiss him, long and deep, tangling my hands in his hair, stroking his beard. When a groan bursts from his throat, I know it’s time.I reach down. His cock is as hard as I hoped. “This.” Keeping hold of it, I maneuver myself, and when it touches my entrance, I slide it into me.“Oh, god,” he groans, and he pushes himself inside me. “What are you doing to me, woman?”I was sore after he took my virginity, but the river’s washed it away, and I feel brand new as his cock fills me up again.“Reborn,” I mutter. “You gave me a new life when you dragged me out of the river that day.”Edwards’s eyes are dazzling blue, his teeth flashing as he grins at me. “I think you’re right, honey. We both got reborn here.”He holds me tight as he rocks into me, the water twinkling and chattering all around, and we both come at the same time. Me and my fierce, river god mate.Emerging from the bathroom, Gavin expected to encounter a few things. An intruder with nefarious intentions. Maybe some screaming from Megan, because a normal woman would be frightened by not only someone kicking their door down and shooting but also the appearance of a living and, yes, viciously snarling Lycan.What he didn’t expect was to find his mate expertly taking down a hired thug.Naked.Straddling a stranger’s chest, her forearm across the man’s throat, her boobs hanging practically in the guy’s face, Megan had things under control—but the guy under her had a much too intimate view.That more than anything set Gavin off.His woman was touching another man while not wearing a stitch of clothing. The fact that she did so to protect herself—with a skill Gavin would question later—didn’t matter.Red, roaring jealousy infused him, followed by icy rage as the gunman, during her shocked moment of inattention, flung her away, causing her harm.He hurt my woman!Unacceptable. A civili
Such a nice bedroom, decorated in light blues and grays. Very tastefully appointed. What a shame it was about to get messy.From the comfortable club chair she sat in, Megan aimed the gun she’d taken off the guard she’d assaulted in the garden at Fabian’s forehead.It was highly doubtful she’d taken him by surprise. The man was a renowned mob lord for a reason, but his cocky self-assuredness meant he took his time acknowledging her presence.She couldn’t help a grudging admiration. It took a set of megaballs to act as if he didn’t fear her and to ignore the gun she held pointed at him with unwavering hands. He knew for a fact that she never missed.“Megan. Darling. To what do I owe this lovely crack-of-dawn visit?”“I was in the area and thought I’d pop in.”“Did you make my guards look incompetent again?”“Just the one guy. He’s out cold in the garden. The others don’t even know I’m here.”Fabian blew out a breath of disgust. “Bloody hell. I’d really like to know your tricks.”“And g
While Gavin hated leaving Megan after having declared her his mate, given her somewhat temperamental reaction he thought a cooling-off period might work in his favor. And possibly keep him alive longer.Sure, he’d not exactly sprung the news of their wolfish nuptials on her in a romantic way.However, the whole situation since he’d met her had proven less than normal or ideal.He still couldn’t wrap his mind around the fact that the woman he’d tied himself to for life was a proclaimed assassin and spy for his nemesis.What would this mean for their future? Would she insist on pursing her career? If she does, at least she’ll have a damned good lawyer to keep her sweet ass out of jail.Speaking of law, how did he feel about the fact that his mate was a woman on the wrong side of it?The answer took less than a second to arrive. It didn’t really bother him. Gavin was used to defending criminals. Innocent or not, he’d not previously cared. It was up to him to give them their chance in cou
A week later and Megan still pouted. She just couldn’t have articulated exactly why, though.Yes, her daddy had shown up and decided things for her, his well-aimed throw of a statuette knocking Gavin out. Her hollered, “What did you do that for?” was met with an implacable, “I didn’t like him.”Funny enough, Megan couldn’t say the same. Despite Gavin’s pompous assertions, she rather liked him. Not that it mattered. Her daddy literally abducted her and took her home.Megan didn’t fight much.Really, leaving was for the best. She couldn’t just allow Gavin—no matter how sexy or yummy or anything—dictate the course of her life.So what if he thought fate had designated her as the one woman he’d spend his life with?No one asked her.No one asked her if she wanted to more or less marry an almost stranger—who made her body sing and brought her to life.No one asked her if she could handle living with a lawyer whose ethics depended on whom he defended—and who accepted the fact that she somet
Thursday“Aw, c’mon, Anne. It’ll be so much fun. Please?”“Cissy, I…” Anne turned away. She hated to disappoint Christa, but there was just no way. No way at all.Her sister’s BFF, Stephanie, chimed in. “If you don’t come with us, that fully paid reservation is just going to go to waste. We bought the package for three because Gina said she wanted to go, and then she bailed on us.”Anne ran her fingertip through the salt on the rim of her margarita glass and stuck her salty finger in her mouth. Damn. Did she or didn’t she? She stared at Stephanie. “There has to be someone else who can fill a third spot. Especially since it’s paid for.”Christa chimed in. “Gina bailed an hour ago. We leave Sunday morning, so we don’t have time to hunt for anyone. I know you have time off coming. Talk to your boss tomorrow and let her know you’ll be gone all next week. Please?”“C’mon, Anne.”Anne glanced from her sister to Steph and pulled back feelings that were more about envy than irritation. She’d
SundayIt was almost five when Anne parked the car in front of a sprawling log building nestled in a large clearing with forest all around. Towering pines and dark green fir trees shadowed part of the area, and the tangy scent of cedar filled the air. The lodge was surrounded by a beautiful deck, and it was all absolutely breathtaking—even better than the pictures online.“Okay, ladies. Rise and shine.” She turned and poked Stephanie, who slept soundly in the backseat.Grunting, Steph slowly pivoted and sat upright. Sort of.Christa stretched her arms overhead and arched her back. She’d ridden shotgun the last seventy miles or so. The sound of popping vertebrae made Anne wince. She hated to think what her own back was going to sound like. “I’m surprised neither of you ladies thought to mention that the last eleven miles were nothing but a dirt road.” It was well marked, so she hadn’t been afraid of getting lost, but the forest was so thick and impenetrable looking, it was scary when y
Anne clipped her hair into a knot on top of her head and took a quick shower. Long trips always made her feel grimy, but that wasn’t the only reason. The old cliché about horny guys taking a cold shower to cool down actually made sense. Her body was on fire after Brad’s kiss. The man kissed like he’d meant it. She’d only known him for what? Fifteen minutes?How would he kiss her after a few days? After they got to know each other.Why wasn’t she freaking out? She never kissed men she didn’t know. Actually, they never kissed her. But Brad did. And damn it all, he kissed her like he meant it.The shower helped, though the minute she got out and thought of him she flushed hot all over again. “Oh. My.” Fanning herself, Anne stared at the woman in the mirror. Her cheeks were pink, her eyes sparkled, and she could swear her lips were swollen from kissing. She’d never, ever reacted to a guy the way she did to Brad, but then she’d never had a totally hot guy kiss her just minutes after meetin
Brad heard the women telling one another good night. He’d really enjoyed all of them, but Anne called to him. He wasn’t quite sure what it was about her, but both he and Cain had felt drawn to her from the moment she crawled out of the car looking tired but delicious. Thinking about her swollen lips and the soft sounds she made when he kissed her, he finished wiping down the bar and checking the kitchen to make sure the stove was off and everything was ready for morning.He’d just hung up the damp towel to dry when he sensed someone near, looked out the front window, and saw Anne standing on the deck, staring at the twinkling fairy lights in the forest. She looked lost in thought, leaning against the railing, her hands clasping the top rail.He realized he wasn’t nearly as tired as he’d thought and spending some quiet time with Anne was just what he needed. She had absolutely no idea how she affected him. Why was that so refreshing? It was definitely attractive. She wasn’t a doormat a
