Juliet placed a quick peck on his lips. “Plural,” she said with a smile.
26
After several hours, Tevrik’s parents left with a promise to come back later the next day, Juliet lay spooned into her mate’s body. She could get used to these super long nights. As long as they were in bed together the whole time.
With no TV, internet, radio, neighbors, or anything else to steal her mind, she thought back through the day. It had started so well, then got crappy, then really crappy, then great, and now was perfect. But one question plagued her.
“Babe,” she said. She got a lazy hmmm for an answer. “What did your father mean when he said that the pack didn’t look perfect nor were the closed shops were perfect?”
He sighed and propped his head up on his elbow. “Well, with the price of oil being so low over the years, the businesses in Alaska moved to other places. So the pack members had to leave the pack community to find work. Most moved to the cities, leaving the community here almost vacant.”
“Oh,” she replied, “that’s it?”
A frown marred his face. “What do you mean by that? It is a big deal.”
She rolled over to see him. “Why not just move the pack to a new location outside the city where most of them are?” Duh? His eyes widened. That idea appeared to be new to him. Did the man not know how to pack up and live someplace different? After she thought about it, the answer was probably no.
“And,” she continued, “build the community so they aren’t so dependent on money or what the humans do. Every home should have their own greenhouse, fireplaces and rock walls, all the stuff you have here.” Then a thought hit her. “Well, maybe running water for the bathroom would really be more sanitary.”
He laughed. “What? You don’t like packing snow into the tank every time?” He brushed his hand over the covers, scooting her body into his. His deliciously long and hard cock pressed into her thigh. “And where would the pack come up with all this money needed to ‘just move the pack to a new location’?”
Getting into the game, she wet her finger and slowly dragged it around his nipple, making it taut. “I just happen to know where a million dollars is lying around.”
His face turned serious. “Legally, that’s your money. Finders keepers.”
“No,” she replied, “it’s our money. And with you as the new pack alpha, it should be used for the pack.”
“But—”
She put a finger over his lips. “Butts are for spanking. And yours will be next if we don’t get working on your mother’s one request.”
He smiled. “Plural.” He leaned forward and kissed her. “I will never tire of looking at your gorgeous body.”
She licked her lips, the taste of him bursting to life on her tongue. His head came down, his lips attached to the base of her throat. Electric tingles raced to her pussy. She raked her nails into his hair, pressing him to her chest as he glided to her breast.
“You smell so fucking good,” he growled into her breast. The vibration from his rumble added to the desperation tensing her muscles.
“Tevrik, please,” she finally choked out. The words traveled up her sandy throat to come out a bare whisper on her dry lips.
He glanced up and met her gaze. “I plan to please you, sweetheart.”
One moment he was getting on his knees and the next his tongue was flicking mercilessly over her clit. A short breathless moan struggled out of her throat. Her legs started shaking, but he didn’t stop. He pressed into her sex, his tongue lapping at her clit and dipping into her channel to fuck her in quick drives.
“Oh, my god. Oh my god!”
Her hips bucked forward. He lifted one of her legs and placed it over his shoulder. She let go of his hair and grabbed the sheet to cling to. Then he cupped her ass and lifted her, giving her the ability to place her other leg over his shoulder and bring her body off the bed.
He licked her with purpose, his growls and snarls making her more than a little crazy.
Tevrik’s tongue flickered in quick circles over her hard clit. Her pleasure center ached with her need to come.
“Jesus, Tevrik, make me come already,” she groaned.
He chuckled into her pussy, the vibration sending her so close to the edge, she took a sharp breath.
His licks on her clit increased, followed by sucking motions and the grazing of his teeth. Good god! She would argue with anyone that those were the easiest ways to make a woman lose her mind. She flew. Her back bowed and she dug her nails into the bed at the same moment her channel contracted around his tongue. Fucking hell, he was good at that.
Her knees were still shaking and her breaths coming in short gasps when he slowly and so carefully placed her legs on the mattress. She kissed him hard, licking her own body’s juices off his lips and getting wet all over again. His hands caressed her full body, branding every bit of her flesh as his own. She was his and they both knew it.
He turned her over, she held onto the bed frame with shaky hands, she pushed her ass out and leaned forward, curving her back and offering her backside to her mate.
A soft growl sounded from behind. She heard his need in his breathing, sensed it in the tension floating over her back. He was close to losing control of his human body and letting his animal take control.
She gave a loud gasp when his tongue trailed from her ass up her spine to her neck. He slammed a hand on the bed, his fingers turned to claws. Oh, yes. He was very close to losing it.
“Juliet…”
She licked her lips and held her breath, waiting and wanting. Lord, she wanted him more than her next heartbeat. More than knowing there would be a tomorrow. She wanted to hold on to that moment and freeze it in time. One breath. Two breaths.
He slid his cock between her pussy lips, using her body’s moisture as lubricant. “You’re so fucking wet, baby.”
She gripped the bed, her body practically vibrating with need. If he didn’t get on with it soon, she might disintegrate into nothing. “Do you like it?”
She knew better than to ask. He reeled back and one of his hands slapped onto her hip, digging his claws into her flesh. The bite of pain felt fucking amazing. Then he pushed forward, his cock fully embedding inside her, hot and hard, like steel on fire. She squeaked, almost slamming into the bed only to be hauled back into his body.
“I don’t like it. I fucking love it. Your,” he snarled the words by her ear, “slick little pussy is all mine, baby girl.” He licked her shoulder. A shudder raced up her spine. He propelled back and thrust hard, holding her in place so she wouldn’t slam into the headboard.
“Fuck me!” she moaned. It wasn’t her telling him, it was an expression of how torn she felt over how he drove her slowly insane.
“Do you feel that, sweetheart?” He bit on her earlobe and sucked. “Feel my cock taking what’s mine?” He bit her. “Do you?”
She nodded.
“You. Are. Mine.”
She gulped and continued driving back into each of his plunges. Tension curled around her belly into a tight knot. “Tevrik, I--”
“I’m not stopping. Not until your pussy is wrapped tightly around my cock and you’re left shaking from how hard you come. And trust me, sweetheart, you will come that hard.”
Oh, she knew that was a definite. She mumbled under her breath about him taking too long.
“You want to come, baby. I know you do.” He increased the speed of his thrusts. “You want my dick deep and far. As far as I can get. You want my mate stamp on you from the inside.” He took a rough breath. “You want me to give you pups.” He nibbled on her shoulder. “I want them too.”
His hand curled around her belly, sliding between her legs to play with her clit. She mewled, wiggling back into his harsh drives. More. More. More. She was so fucking close.
All it took was a few flicks of his finger on her aching pleasure center in combination with his deep plunges and she was gone. The orgasm tore through her like a category five hurricane
. It left her breathless, shaking and ready to fall apart. Only with Tevrik could she open up enough to lose herself in how he made her feel.
She was still riding the wave when he pressed tightly into her, his cock pulsing inside. He came with a loud howl.
Epilogue
Juliet stood outside the construction site trailer and sucked in a deep breath. Damn, she loved it here, and Alaska in the middle of summer was awesome. Temps averaged around seventy, and there were nineteen hours of daylight. Which was bad for baby production, but good for building a new community. Besides, baby production was well under way. She felt like an elephant carrying quadruplets. Her mother-in-law told her that was normal for shifter babies.
She surveyed the street with the second row of pack houses going up. The crews worked fervently to get up the fifty houses before winter weather hit. As news spread to distant pack members about the relocation, over half wanted to move in as soon as possible. Fairbanks, Alaska, wasn’t the largest city, but it didn’t have the traffic congestion of larger places while still providing work opportunities.
From a semi-tractor trailer, men offloaded green-tinted panels to set up the next series of greenhouses. Solar panels were being unpacked for installation. Energy conservation technology she didn’t even know existed wowed her. But she was also thrilled with the old-fashioned water pipe system for bathrooms. A little of the old, a little of the new.
Car doors slammed shut and she turned to see her best friend, Raven, and her two dragon mates Frost and Ice—and a woman she recognized but couldn’t remember her name—step away from an SUV. Juliet leaned forward and held her stomach to give Raven a hug while the guys headed for the back of the truck.
“You’re as big as I was,” her friend said, eyeing her belly, “and I had dragons.”
Tevrik stepped behind her, twined his fingers under her extended stomach and lifted slightly. Oh god, that helped so much. She didn’t have to lean backward to keep from falling forward.
“Yeah, well,” Tevrik said, smiling at the arriving group, “wolves are better than dragons any day.”
Standing at the back of the truck, Frost hollered, “I heard that, wolf boy. I dare you to a flying contest any time.”
Raven turned to introduce the woman who looked familiar. “Juliet, this is Gerri Wilder, matchmaker extraordinaire.”
The memory from a year ago came back to her. “Gerri! I remember you. Good to see you again.”
“Wait,” Tevrik said, “I’ve heard that name before.”
Gerri shook hands with them and said to Tevrik, “I believe Frost was a middle man between us.”
Juliet glanced at the two. “Frost was what?” she asked.
Gerri smiled at her. “I had Frost tell your mate that he should meditate and see what might fall into his lap.”
Tevrik leaned back laughing hysterically. Juliet gave him a look that asked what? He kissed her hair and said he’d tell her later.
A worker holding a plaque approached. “Excuse me, Alpha. Where do you want this to go for now?” He pulled the paper covering the front. The sign read Brinkley Park.
“Just set it inside the trailer. Thank you, Robert,” her mate answered. The jovial air toned down with the solemn memento.
“Ah,” Gerri said, “Raven filled me in on the tragic happening as well as how you two met. Simply more proof that things happen for a reason.”
Juliet felt Tevrik stiffen behind her. “I have to disagree with you, Ms. Wilder. I see no reason for the death of that innocent child.”
Gerri’s head tilted and her brow cocked. “No?”
“No, ma’am,” he said. Juliet noted the slight anger in his voice only someone who knew him would hear.
“Well, as I understand it,” Gerri remarked, “if the Brinkley child hadn’t died, then you wouldn’t have gone off to learn how to live off the land, and your pack would not have been able to sustain itself as they are now.”
Juliet thought that was an amazing insight.
“Plus,” Gerri continued, “you wouldn’t have been there to save Juliet in the avalanche. You never would have met her. And the gold she found allows your pack to rebuild and have a second chance at sharing the planet with the original inhabitants. So, see? A reason for everything.”
Tevrik was speechless. Juliet reached up and closed his hanging jaw. She said, “I believe you are correct, Ms. Wilder. I guess I owe you a fee for finding the perfect man for me.”
Gerri laughed. “No worries, dear. I don’t charge for bringing love into this world. But if you’re still looking for a name for your child, perhaps I could suggest one that is gender neutral.” She winked and headed back to the SUV.
The two guys, Frost and Ice, finally stepped away from the back of the truck. They were dressed in rugged clothing and wore hardhats with a light on the front. They carried pickaxes, and fabric bags were strapped to their belts.
“What are you two doing?” Juliet asked.
Raven rolled her eyes. “When Frost visited your mate last year, he heard some weird story about a kitty leaving a treasure trove of gold in the mountains somewhere. And dragons and treasure are meant to go together. So. . .”
The guys walked up behind Raven and snuggled against her. Frost said, “Yup, we’re going to find that hidden loot or die trying.”
Juliet glanced up at Tevrik, smiling. At the same time, they said, “Good luck.”
