“You don’t kiss like a virgin.” He was grinning from ear to ear and casting her an accusing gaze. “Are you sure?”
“Kissing isn’t sex, now is it?” She snapped and stood from her seat and marched toward the front door, completely embarrassed.
Bowen chased after her and grabbed her arm before she could step outside. “Ally, I didn’t mean to offend you. Just stating the obvious.”
“I’ve only kissed one other guy,” she confessed. “That’s all we did was kiss. Nothing else happened.”
He snickered and guided her toward the couch so they could sit down. Bowen sat down on the table in front of her as she sunk into the soft cushion. “You don’t have to explain anything to me, Ally.” He shifted his weight on the table. “Honestly, I’m happy you haven’t been with anyone.”
“Really? And why is that?”
He sighed, “We are being honest with each other?”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
He nodded and shifted around again. “I haven’t been with anyone either.”
Her jaw fell slack. To think this sexy beast of a man hadn’t been with anyone was a little hard for her to believe. His eyes shifted around the room nervously and Ally quickly closed her mouth. “Really?”
A playful grin pulled at his lips, “No. But it sounded good.”
“Asshole,” she proclaimed with a smile and attempted to slap his arm but he grabbed her wrist, stopping her. Ally tried to slap him with the other but again, he stopped her with a firm grip. She tried to pull away again but another more conniving grin spread across his face. “Bowen?”
He quickly released her and grabbed for her ribs. Ally crumpled her body into the couch, trying to get away from his tickling fingers. Bowen’s body pressed hers into the soft cushions, keeping her from getting away. “Haha…stop…please stop,” she begged but his fingers continued to probe her ribs.
“Do you give up, Ally Cat?” He stopped but kept a firm grip.
“Never!” she declared teasingly.
“Oh, yeah?” Ally laughed as his fingers tickled their way to the most ticklish part of her body, her hips. She tried her hardest to worm away from him but he had her pinned against the soft couch. “Ok, ok. I give up. Stop, stop,” she panted. His fingers stopped moving but remained on her hips. Once she settled down, she realized his body was between her thighs. The noticeable hard bulge behind the cotton of Bowen’s pants was pressing into her. The feeling was sensational and ignited a pulse at her core.
His dark hair had come loose of the elastic band and stray strands hung above Ally’s face. Bowen was trying to resist kissing her again, but having her body under his set him a blaze. His eyes burned into hers. “Ally?”
“Yes, Bowen,” she whispered, trying to be as sensual as she could while tucking a strand of hair behind his right ear.
“Can I kiss you again?”
Without answering, she slid her hand behind his neck. His skin was warm as the caramel wastefully sitting on the counter. He kept a firm grip on her hips but lowered his mouth to hers willingly. This kiss was far more heated than the first. Their tongues danced in a saucy way, bringing the heat between them even higher. “Bowen,” she whispered against his lips.
“Yes, Ally.”
“Please touch me,” she replied and continued kissing him.
Every touch was fire. Ally instinctually wrapped her legs around him as his hot lips broke away from hers and trailed along her jaw to her neck. The friction between them began next. Bowen struggled to keep from rushing. His need to savor every moment with her kept him patient. While grinding against her middle, Ally’s toes curled as more pulses of desire rolled through her. His tongue snaked against her skin slowly and his hands explored beneath her shirt and cupped her bare breasts gently. Discovering she hadn’t worn a bra excited him even more. His kisses and licks shifted to her hard nipples and tweaked at them through the thin cotton with his teeth.
“You feel amazing, Ally. Jesus,” he growled while sucking her nipple through her shirt.
She was shivering at the sensation. Her body was completely alert and receptive to every teasing touch. He abandoned her breasts and shifted his body down the length of hers, kissing her stomach softly and even tasting her navel with the tip of his tongue. He was on a mission to taste her middle. His cock grew harder with thoughts of her natural flavor playing against his tongue. “Bowen?”
“I can’t wait to have you in my mouth.”
“Um. About that,” she panted in a shaking voice. “Ca…Can you stop?”
He hands, body and mouth stopped moving completely. He released a wanted sigh but pulled away from her and sat back. “Sorry. I went too far.” Without a reply, Ally lifted herself up from the couch and quickly got down on her knees in front of him. With shaking hands, she began to quickly unbuckle his belt. “Woah, Ally. Wait,” he protested but she wasn’t listening. Ally had only given oral one time before Bowen. She hoped she wouldn’t disappoint.
She looked at him with pleading eyes, “Are you sure you want me to stop?”
“You don’t have to do this.”
“I want to.”
He couldn’t take his eyes off her and she unbuckled his belt and pulled over his button fly. He released a breath he’d been holding as the pressure was released from his raging erection. Feeling anxious, Ally slipped her hands up to the waist band of his black boxer briefs and pulled them down gently. Bowen lifted himself off the couch enough for her to slid his jeans down passed his knees. Ally took in the sight of his manhood. Nestled in in a short patch of groomed dark hair was what she’d been anticipating. Arousing juices pooled in her panties at the sight. When she finally took him in her warm hand, he nearly lost it. He legs tensed when she her soft wet tongue snaked out and licked the underside of his sensitive head. Ally tried to focus on only the moment and not her limited skill as she took him into her mouth.
Bowen’s head fell back as her warm mouth engulfed him tenderly. Her tongue swirled around his swollen member before she took him completely inside. He hissed through clenched teeth and watched her. “Oh, yes. That’s it,” he muttered. The pleasurable sounds coming from him pushed Ally forward. When his fingers slid through her hair, it gave her more confidence to continue sucking him deeper, harder. Bowen’s need for release was building to the brink of completion. “Your…your gonna…make me cum.” He could barely speak through the bliss he was experiencing. Ally didn’t stop but released a small moan around his cock while continuing to pleasure him. Her core grew even wetter as she listened to him. He gripped her hair tightly at her scalp and released into her hungry mouth. “Jesus, Ally.”
She didn’t break the suction before swallowing ever drop of what he had to offer. As she withdrew him from her mouth, her lips gave his tip a tortuous tickle, making him gasp and pull away slightly. She sat back on her heels and wiped her lips free of saliva. “Was that alright?”
“Are you kidding? It was perfect,” he stated with a smile. Hunger ignited in his eyes and he reached for her. “My turn.”
“Oh,” she expressed timidly as he pulled her up onto the couch with him. When she sat back on the cushions, his fingers instinctually slipped into the hem of her leggings. The night wouldn’t end without him tasting her. Ally’s entire body burned as she imagined his shaft inside her, but soon discovered he had other plans. Bowen kissed her naked hip as he removed the tight material from her creamy body. Her body trembled and gooseflesh rushed across her skin as he licked his way to her core. Seeing her glistening intimate folds caused Bowen’s arousal to spike once again. Saliva polled in his mouth at the sight. Ally was shaved bare, besides a small landing strip leading to his treat. He shifted his body lower on the couch for better access. First, he tenderly kissed her pussy folds before slipping is tongue between them. When he did, they both released a moan of pleasure. “Oh…Bowen. That feels…wow.”
With his growing cock pressing into the couch, he explored her tender middle with his
tongue. He kept a firm grip on her hips, as he only wanted to pleasure her with his mouth. “Jesus, Ally. You taste amazing.” He used his tongue and dipped it inside her opening, feeling her pulse around it. He wrapped one arm around her thigh for a better grip and Ally placed her other leg over his shoulder. Her legs instinctually parted further, giving him more access. “So good,” he whispered before sucking her clit into his mouth.
“Mm,” she whimpered and bit into her bottom lip. Ally had never experienced oral sex from anyone before but she was in utter ecstasy. Bowen’s greedy mouth set her into a whirlwind of pleasures she never knew existed. “Yes, right there,” she begged as he suck and flicked her clit. “Don’t stop!” Her legs constricted around him like a viper and she gripped his hair tightly as a delightful orgasm rocked through her.
Bowen quickly released her clit and slipped his tongue back inside her pulsation hole, lapping up every drop of her. “God, I love you,” he stated as he kissed his way back up the length of her body. Nude from the waist down, and still aroused, he spooned her from behind. Having his cock nested in the crack of her ass was enough to make him nearly cum again, but he bit it back. Trying to keep himself calm.
Ally was completely content being in his arms but she wondered why he was trying to go any further. Having him pressed against her still made her juices flow. She wanted more of him. “Do you not want to have sex?”
“I want to be inside you more than you’ll ever know. But not tonight.”
“Why not?”
Bowen chuckled and kissed her shoulder and pulled her harder against him. “I’m not prepared.”
“How prepared do you need to be?” she questioned as his desire rested against her.
“I don’t have any protection.”
Chapter 11
Love?
Ally clung to every word Bowen spoke but that particular one stood out like a glowing neon sign. She tried to shake it and not allow it to control her emotions. It was said during the heat of the moment. During passion. He couldn’t have meant it to come out.
Bowen had turned on some music and went back out to work on her car some more, leaving Ally alone. Though he wanted nothing more than to be near her, he had to process what had happened between them. Being with he was like breathing. While washing the plates they used for the cake and ice cream, Ally was lost in her own feelings. Bowen walked in to wash his hands when he heard an amazing sound. Ally was washing a plate and singing a tender balled. “Damn, girl.”
Startled by his voice, she dropped the plate in the sink and spun around. Bowen quickly guarded his crotch and then chuckled. “Damnit, Bowen. Don’t scare me like that.” He leaned against the opposite counter with his arms lazily crossed over his chest as he watched her quizzically. “What?”
“I didn’t know you could sing like that.”
Her cheeks burned and she quickly turned back to face the sink, “Umm, I wasn’t singing.” Ally pressed her lips together, completely embarrassed. She hadn’t realized she was singing out loud. Not even her family had heard her before.
“You’re really good. Keep going,” he requested.
Ally began scrubbing the plate harder than needed. She giggled nervously and shook her head. “I can’t sing in front of people.”
His strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind and he kissed the right side of her neck. He paid close attention to the spot below her ear. Her soap covered hands stopped moving while relishing in his touch. “You have a beautiful voice. You should let it shine.” The sound of his breath in her ear made me shiver.
Ally licked her lips, “Bowen, I just can’t.”
He grumbled a little and turned her around to face him, but Ally kept her gaze low. Bowen used his fingers and placed them under her chin. She allowed him to lift her gaze to his. “You shouldn’t be nervous with me, Ally. If there is one thing I know, it’s music, and you have a banging voice.” He released her chin and stroked her cheek with his knuckles before kissing the end of her nose. “Everyone would love you. I could teach you to play guitar and we could perform together.”
The thought of actually being with Bowen on stage was alluring, but SHE didn’t like her cousins nosing into her business, let alone, the world. “I don’t know.”
“You have potential. With a little work, we could rock the fuck out of the world.”
“You really think so?”
He smiled, “Ally, I know so.” The potential of them both being together and doing something they enjoyed gave him a flutter of excitement.
“You’re the one with the musical talent. Not me.”
“We can change that.”
Bowen was reluctant to go back to Devils Bend. Ally wasn’t looking forward to facing her bull-headed cousins. She wasn’t in the mood to listen to Michael and Theron. Their hatred for Bowen was ridiculous, and she couldn’t take the tension much longer. If Ally could afford it, she would move out on her own. As the couple grew closer to her home, Ally’s body tensed and she asked Bowen to park down the road.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah,…it’s probably safer that way.”
Bowen parked the truck next to the curb. Ally’s home was in the distance and he would be able to watch her walk inside. “Goodnight, Ally.”
“Goodnight,” she replied in nearly a whisper. “Will I see you tomorrow?” Her tone was hopeful.
“I’ll be here in the morning to pick you up. Then tomorrow night was ca begin your lessons.”
Ally smiled and released a nervous chuckle. She couldn’t get out of the truck without kissing him one final time. She grabbed his jacket and held him close while his tongue danced against hers. Their bodies tingled with desire once again. There was no denying they were magnetically pulled together on a spiritual level. Ally wanted to return to his home with him and avoid the hell she was about to catch. Of course, she knew her family would lose their minds. She had to force herself away from him. “See you in the morning.”
“See ya, Ally Cat.”
Bowen waited as Ally approached her home. She took one final look back as he pulled away from the curb and drove by. Reluctantly, she walked up the back-porch steps. The kitchen light was on and she heard numerous male voices coming from inside. She stopped before turning the knob and listened.
“You can’t be serious,” Michael said deeply.
“I am,” Jay replied in his all-too-familiar ‘dad’ voice. “You boys have done an excellent job keeping an eye on my daughter, but it is her time to shine. She deserves a life of her own.” Ally couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her dad was actually sticking up for her against them. “You two pry far too much. It’s not fair to Allyssa.”
“She won’t have a life with the likes of a Skinwalker,” Theron growled. “She belongs with her own kind.”
“Right,” Michael rebutted.
“Really, T? Is Deborah one of us? Have any of your girlfriends ever been?”
Ally grinned, “Yeah, get em’, dad,” she whispered. The entire situation would be squashed if they only understood. Her own mother was human once. And though she was born into this world a hellhound, Ally was still only technically half. If they would only stop and think.
“Well, no, but we aren’t talking about me,” Theron protested childishly. “We are talking about one of our females mixing with that thing. It’s not right, and you know it.” There was that word again. Thing. He said it like a curse. As if he was being forced to chew on broken glass. There was true animosity there.
“No, I don’t know it,” her dad stated. Then everything grew quiet. “We all have a destined mate out there. It’s just a matter of finding them.”
“And you think your daughter has found hers?”
Jay paused for another moment, “I’m not sure what I think, but I do know that I trust Allyssa. If she believes she has found her mate, who am I to stand in the way of her happiness?”
“She has no idea what he even is. It’s disgusting,” Michael protested. “T
hey’re not safe.” Ally couldn’t believe how prejudice her cousins were being. They also had no idea what she knew about Bowen. They were only assuming she was some stupid ignorant female. “They are murderers.”
“Shut up, Mike,” Theron cut him off. “You talk too damn much.”
“And how would you know that, Mike?” Jay questioned. “Is there something I should know?”
“It’s nothing we can’t handle on our own,” Theron injected.
“Murder is a matter for the authorities, T.”
“We aren’t sure about anything yet.”
“Look, boys. my suggestion to you is this,” her dad paused. “If you have issues with someone, you handle it legally and without violence, if possible, but stay out of Allyssa’s personal life.”
“No way!” Michael stated. “Not when it comes to these guys.”
“Yeah, right. Not when it comes to any guy,” Ally snarled softly.
“Not a chance while she is living here with us,” Theron proclaimed deeply. Ally could only imagine his large arms crossing over his chest. His eyes would have a defiant glare about them.
“Right,” Mike said.
Ally entered the house and glared at them both. Their eyes were wide with surprise. “Then I guess I will just leave,” she declared. “Consider this her notice.” As they choked on their tongues, Ally flipped them both off and marched toward the basement door.
“See what happens when you overstep?” Jay protested from behind his daughter and followed her downstairs. Ally seized a duffle bag from beneath her bed and began shoving clothes into it. “Allyssa,” her dad said.
“What?” She crammed as many of her things as she could into the bag. Her body was flush with heat as rage flowed through her.
“Don’t you think you’re being a bit hasty?”
Ally slammed the bag down on her bed and spun around to face him. “No. I don’t think I’m being hasty. This day has been coming for a while. I’m just finally acting on what I have been wanting to do for a long time.” She spun back around and zipped the bag closed. “Now, can I stay with you or do I need to get a hotel room? Either way, I’m out of this house.”
