She does, her eyes as hungry as mine. We need to get in before I lose my mind. We're pulling up to the valet, and I'm nearly out of my seat before the vehicle is in park.
"Deputy Arroyo, you're back." I want to break his jaw for even knowing my mate.
"Hunter has a room here for us," I growl at him.
"Please check-in inside. I'll park it." He walks around and gives her a smirk and shakes his head.
"You were here with someone else?" I get the faintest hints of scent on her, but they're fleeting, not embedded in her, but those who pass her or even hug her. I growl, trying to understand that she's human and they don’t live by our standards of celibacy. She can go on and live happily with another man while I suffer for the rest of my life.
A woman approaches us with a smile before we’re two feet into the lobby. "Hello, Maria.” She smiles widely at my mate. She then looks at me with an arched brow. I breath in and know immediately that she’s Hunter’s mate. “You must be Turner. My husband said to take this to room four hundred four."
"Thank you, Mrs. Wolfe,” I say, letting her know without explanation that I know who she is.
"Please, call me Cat, and if you need anyone to speak with, don't hesitate.” She pulls Maria in for a hug and whispers, “Welcome to your new world." Of course I can hear her, but that’s so the rest of people around don’t hear.
"She was human," I whisper as we part ways. "She's Hunter's mate. I smell him on her."
"What? You know that?"
"Yes, and it's probably why she offered to tell you about things. She would know more than others. I have questions for Hunter as well, but they must wait until I have you under me, becoming mine for life."
"I don't understand this, but I don't want to fight it. Cat is one of the most worshipped women in town."
"As you will be in our town. I am the Alpha of the White Wolf Ridge pack, and you're my mate."
"Oh my. Why is that turning me on when you call me your mate?"
"Because your body knows what your mind is denying. It knows you belong to me like I belong to you, and that only by being together are we whole.”
“I need you to show me, Turner.”
“We’ll show each other, my sweet Maria. God, you are a gift I could have never imagined was real.” We arrive at the elevators, and I feel like it takes an eternity for one to open. As soon as we enter the empty car, I pin her to the wall and slam my mouth onto hers. She slips her tongue out and I suck it in, letting it tease mine as my hands grab hold of her ass, grinding my cock to her seam. I don’t know how long I’ve got her plastered to me when the bell dings, but I can’t contain the hunger much longer. I pull my mouth away from hers and carry her out of the elevator.
Hunting for the room number, she shouts, “This one right here.”
Thank you, Hunter. It’s the first door to the left of the elevators. I unlock the suite with the key card and slip right in, letting the door swing closed behind us without letting her go. The room is large, but I can’t tell a damn thing about it because all my attention is on her. I need to get Maria naked and her thighs parted to take every inch of me until I release all my damn cum into her depths. There are no words to describe how painful it is to stare and not touch, not invade, not demand that every inch of her be mine.
“Take off your clothes, or I’ll tear them off,” I grunt out as I set her on her feet.
“You wouldn’t,” she says, shaking her head, challenging me.
“The hell I wouldn’t.” I reach toward her and grab her shirt and rip it off, buttons flying everywhere. She gasps, and I quickly remove her gun belt, setting it on the floor before pushing her onto the bed with her legs trapped between mine. Leaning over her, I whisper, “Care to challenge me on anything else?”
“You won’t eat my pussy.” My dick jerks, attempting to shred my jeans. She has no idea that there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her pleasure.
I laugh and shuck her pants off as inhumanly possible without hurting her. Her pink striped panties are soaked to the core with lust, and I rub my fingers along her slit with the fabric to add friction. Maria rolls her hips up, reaching for more as I breath in her scent, loving her arousal.
Nothing I’ve ever smelled could compare to the scent of my mate. I drag my mouth down her body, but she tenses. “You dared me.” I adjust our bodies, tearing off the wet material, and then bump her legs open with my shoulders. “This is my pussy. You never keep it from me. Your scent is my addiction. You don’t have to dare me to eat your pussy. I crave it more than anything.” I press my face into her core, sliding my tongue along her lips. A low growl comes from deep inside me as my wolf takes insane pleasure in devouring my mate in the most hedonistic ways. I pump my tongue through her gooey sweetness, lapping up every single drop while driving her body to give me more. My queen lay there, thrashing her legs, unable to explain the pure lust consuming her as the first of many orgasms washes over her. I press my hand to her belly, holding her down as I go in for another orgasm. This time, I slip one finger into her tight sheath. There is nothing but us as I test her pussy, knowing that it’s going to hurt her as I claim my mate. Teasing her, stretching her to another orgasm, I can no longer stave off my own need as I stalk up her body, staring at her as the tip of my cock brushes her folds. “Are you ready to be mine?”
“I’ve always been yours.” It’s all I need to hear as I slam my hips forward, plundering her warmth, marking her with my first load. My orgasm is quick and to the point, but I am nowhere near done with being sated. I have to have more of her. I pump in and out, steady strokes as I stare into her chocolate eyes. They glisten with unshed tears, but she’s no longer in pain. She’s greedily seeking another release from me, and I will gladly give them to her for the rest of our days. I pick up the pace, taking her mouth in a violent kiss, nipping at her bottom lip as we both go over the edge, coming again, and I fill her up with every drop of my seed. Tilting her head to the side, I bite down on her shoulder, marking, mating her. She cries out and so do I as the power of our union explodes around us, making us whole. Her womb hugs my cock, draining me again, and then I seal her mark with my tongue.
“Mine,” I whisper.
She opens her eyes and smiles. “Yours.”
We share another deep kiss before I pull away, holding my weight with my arms so it doesn’t bear down on her, but she wraps herself around me, bringing me down. “It feels so good to have your weight on me.”
“Baby, I’m a little too big to stay like this.” We kiss gently before I pull out and fall to the side, dragging her with me. I close my eyes and fall fast asleep with her head on my chest.

Maria
I stare down at my mate. It’s so weird to say, but I don’t stop myself from thinking of him that way. I suppose my supernatural assumption was accurate and not me losing my mind. He’s real, and he’s here. I press my head into the crook of his shoulder and chest, feeling a profound sense of being home. Was I ever this at peace?
“I’m so glad you’re at peace.” God, she’s beautiful.
“She who?” I hiss, sitting up in the bed.
“What?” He pushes himself up, leaning against the headboard.
“You said she’s beautiful.”
Can you hear me, Maria? I stare in amazement as his mouth doesn’t move.
“Oh my goodness. I can hear you!”
“This is nuts. I need to talk to Hunter,” he growls.
“Can you call him? I’m not ready for our time to end.” This has been magical.
“It certainly has. Maria, it will never end. I’ll want you all day. Although, I must say it’s probably best that we return to White Wolf Ridge soon.”
“I have a job here,” I say, which is obvious because I was in full uniform when we met. I’m sure that it’s in tatters somewhere around here.
“Yeah. I saw. You’re a police officer. I can’t say that I like that idea at all.”
“Why?”
&
nbsp; “The obvious reason, of course. It’s fucking dangerous, and you’re my mate.”
“It isn’t that dangerous.”
“No? What happened to the sheriff a few years ago?”
“Well, that was a personal issue and like you said, a few years ago.”
“I don’t care. You’re my mate. If you die, I will follow you.”
“What?”
“Yes. We can’t live without our other halves, and once they’re gone, it doesn’t take long for us to join them. I need to go back home. I’m sorry, but you have to come with me.”
“I know. I’m not upset.”
“You’re lying to me. Look, I get it. It’s not like I can be the one to uproot my life, but I’ll promise to be the best mate, lover, husband, and friend you’ll ever have.”
“You’re going to be busy, and I’m going to be alone.” He cradles my face, stares into my eyes, and I feel his love flow through me.
“I’ll always be there for you. You’re my priority, Maria. Always.”
“Anytime I need you?”
“Anytime you need me. I do have to tell you that we have a large ski resort with over four hundred rooms and twenty-five cabins that are my responsibility. I have a staff of two hundred different employees, and I’d love for you to take any part you want. If you really want to be a police officer, I’ll replace the chief of police with you.”
“What? You can do that?”
He gives me that killer smile that sets my body ablaze with lust. “As it happens, I can. My father’s the mayor. Besides, the chief of police is a piece of shit.”
“What has he done?” I question. I hate people who abuse their position.
“Nothing I care to talk about right now while I have you naked and in my arms,” he whispers, and desire floods me, but then I think I probably smell. He has me pinned to the bed, grinding his cock along my seam.
“I need a shower,” I plead, feeling filthy after our intense encounter.
“Then let’s shower together,” he growls, and I can get on board with that. I lift myself up and then he pulls me back down, covering my face in kisses. “I’m obsessed.”
“So am I,” I answer, rolling my hips upward to feel his length hit my pussy. He arches his brow and then takes me in one smooth pump, filling me deeply. We continue to rock back and forth until I cry out, my walls squeezing in waves of pleasure as his seed coats me and his roar resounds around the room.
I close my eyes and attempt to catch my breath while Turner lies on his back. "Maybe you should take a shower on your own or I'll end up getting inside your pussy again, and I'm sure it needs some rest."
"Okay," I sigh, panting still. This man makes me forget everything.
"Will it always be this way?"
"I sure the fuck hope so. Even after a half-dozen kids, I’ll still chase you around the house."
"Six kids?"
"Well, it's not likely, but I hope to have a few."
"I'm just wondering what I'm in for."
"Whatever you want. You can take birth control, or we can avoid your ovulation cycle." He says as if it’s no big deal, but it’s too much for me at the moment.
"This is all too complicated. I'm going to wash up, and then I need some serious food.”
The hotel room phone rings right on cue, and Turner answers it. "Hello. Yes. That would be great. Tomorrow would be good. Is there a way to get some food up here? Okay." He hangs up the phone and turns his head back to me. "That was Hunter. He offered to talk when we had time tomorrow. Also, he will send up a variety of foods."
"Then I better hurry and get...oh my. I don't have any clothes."
I'll text Mark and have him ask Hunter's mate or the other mate to pick up some clothes for you."
"Thank you."
"Anything for my queen." He winks, and I hurry into the shower. It's about ten minutes later when I wrap a fluffy white robe around my body. I step out into the room, and the food is there along with a shopping bag from the store downstairs.
"Cat sent that up for you. She said she figured you'd need a change of clothes." He hands me the note with his cheeks slightly pinkened. If he’s an animal, which we know he is, you’ll need these. —Cat
"That woman is a lifesaver."
"Eat first, and then you can get dressed." He takes a seat on the sofa with just his boxer briefs on, looking masculine and sexy.
"Sounds like a plan to me." I pick up a tray of fruit, and Turner pulls me onto his lap. I let out a gasping giggle and some of the berries land on me and all around us. "Bad boy."
"Give me a bite."
"I don't know if I feel like sharing," I tease. He snarls and snatches the plate from me. "Beast. Give me my berries."
"Only if you promise to share, my beauty."
"Okay. I promise." I pout, and he presses his lips to mine before giving me the plate back. I take a strawberry and put it to his lips and he quickly snaps his teeth, tearing the sweet red berry from my fingers. I watch his sexy lips as he chews, and then his thick column of a neck as he swallows. Damn, he’s gorgeous. I lean in and steal a kiss from him, which is a huge mistake because I find myself pinned against the sofa with his mouth pushing my robe open and sucking on my nipples.
“So sexy, but I need to feed you.” He sits up and helps me. “How about some eggs?”
“I could go for some.” I stand, not caring that my robe is open as I grab a plate and then open the serving dish.
“Would you like some?” I ask when he comes to stand next to me.
“Thank you, but I can serve myself. You don’t have to do that for me.” He winks and grabs his own plate, scooping up his eggs. We make our plates and then take a seat at the dining table. This is one hell of a cool suite.
“Do you need anything, love?”
“No. This breakfast is so good.” I eat like I’ve never eaten before. I suppose I’ve never been this hungry, and I know it’s from all the exercise he’s putting me through.
“I’ve had something that tastes so much better,” he growls, leaning to kiss my cheek.
“Yes, but we both can’t survive on sex.” Just as I say that, his stomach rumbles.
“You got me there.” With one more laugh, we eat in companionable silence. I steal glances at my mate, wondering how I’ve let myself fall so easily.
Because we are meant to be, my mate.
Then maybe we should get to know each other better.
We have a lifetime for that.
“Stop staring at my tits,” I say out loud, giving him a pout to emphasize my point.
“It’s nearly impossible when I can see your nipples.” I look down, and my breasts are practically out of the robe. I grab my edges and adjust.
“Now, finish your food,” I huff and then quickly take a bite of sausage to do my best not to laugh when a puppy-dog look spreads across his face. “Seriously.”
He stops and takes my hands in his. “Am I pushing you too far, Maria? I’ve never felt like this before.”
Seeing his pain isn’t something I care for even just a bit. Pulling my hands away from his only causes him to frown even more. I shake my head and then cup his face with both of my hands. “No. I think you’re adorable.”
“Adorable? I’ve never been called that before.”
“Well, you are. Now eat, because I have a feeling that you don’t eat like a bird and you have more rolls in the hay planned for the day.”
“Yes, I just checked my schedule, and that seems to be all I have on the agenda. Sunup to sundown, it’s all hay day.” I shake my head and watch him eat again. Damn, my pussy’s feeling all tingly, so I slam my legs closed.
“You know, you’re no help. Do I have to eat in the other room, woman?”
“Um…might be a better idea.” He shakes his head and turns around so I can’t stare. He eats quickly as I finish my last few bites. I didn’t put as much on my plate, so I finished first. After washing my hands, I dig into the bag Cat had brought up for me. I pull out
two pairs of pants and underwear and bras with some cute boots and cozy socks.
"Ooh. These are so pretty and just my size.” I know Cat and I are roughly the same build, although I’m a tad bit shorter.
"I'm glad it was Cat who picked them out, or I'd be really fucking angry,” he growls, coming to see the red panties and matching bra.
"Grr. You're so sexy when you get territorial, as if someone else could possibly steal me away."
"They can try," he says just barely above a whisper. I grab his arm and turn him, although it's with his own power that he spins on his heel.
I look into his stunning eyes and say, "I'm not going anywhere."
"Good, because I'd chase your ass and bring you back," he growls, cupping the back of my head and dragging my lips to his.
I pull away and then attempt to bolt, but his strong arms create a steel band around me, slamming his front to my back. "Not so fast," he whispers, sliding his hand down the front of my body, down to the top of my thigh while the other wraps around my throat. "I'd love to give a good chase, and when I catch you, I'll be working your pussy out, making you scream over and over again until you can't take it anymore and then I'll push you again.”
"Maybe I should get dressed before it gets any later," I say while grinding my ass on his cock.
"Yes because I don't think your pussy can handle any more penetration." He kisses my cheek and then pulls back. "It's time for me to go wash my ass. Get dressed before I'm tempted to fucking devour you all over again."
"Fine. What about your clothes?"
"I asked them to get my bag out of the SUV. The valet is bringing it up." The knock at the door is on time. He walks to the door in his pants without a shirt and takes the bag from the valet.
"Okay. Talk about having clout."
"It's what I expect out of a well-run resort. Hunter's got his game running smoothly."
"I think so. I loved their spa. I had such a great massage the other day."
And there goes his grunt and growl. "A massage? A woman or man?"
I roll my eyes at him and walk over to the bathroom. "A woman, of course. Seriously, go shower now." I hold open the bathroom door and wave to him to get inside.
