The Werewolf's Baby: A Billionaire Shifter Pregnancy Romance

by Natalie Kristen

  Most of the men in the audience wanted Sapphire. And it was easy to see why. Sapphire was hot with a capital H. She had legs that went on for miles and miles, and she was voluptuous with curves in all the right places. She stood a full head taller than Kerry and she looked like she owned the stage.

  Almost all the men were bidding—except that hunky dark-haired guy in the suit. He was observing the proceedings with a detached air, and his eyes keeping returning to Kerry.

  “And...Sapphire goes to table number nine for thirty thousand dollars!” Madam Jen announced.

  After waving at the audience, Sapphire sashayed down the stage and went to the gentleman who had won her. She was his for tonight.

  Kerry jumped when Madam Jen placed a cool hand on her shoulder. “And this is our sweet, pure Amber,” she purred. “The opening bid is one thousand dollars as usual. Let's hear it for Amber, ladies and gentlemen!”

  Kerry realized she was starting to hyperventilate and Madam Jen's voice sounded further and further away. The buzzing in her ears warned her that she was about to pass out.

  Don't faint! Kerry pinched herself hard and gave herself a big mental slap. She had to hold herself together.

  “Fifty thousand!”

  Kerry jerked her head up as the strident voice boomed across the room. It was the man in the cowboy hat. He grinned as he cocked his imaginary gun at her.

  Kerry forced herself to focus on the bid and not the bidder. Fifty thousand dollars. It was more than she dared hope for.

  Tia could start her treatment right away…

  Kerry managed a wobbly smile and swayed slightly on her feet. The thought of spending one night with that cowboy filled her with dread but she knew she shouldn't let her feelings get in the way. She was doing this for the money. She just had to remind herself to focus on the money, not the man and she should be able to get through the night.

  Madam Jen looked around the room and declared, “If there are no other bids for Amber, then for fifty thousand dollars, Amber goes to...”

  Kerry braced herself. She would have to spend the night with that obnoxious cowboy.

  She let out a gasp when a deep voice said firmly, “One hundred thousand.”

  CHAPTER EIGHT

  All heads turned towards table number twenty.

  Madam Jen's eyes widened slightly but other than that, there was no visible sign of her surprise. Her perfect, professional smile never wavered.

  “Table number twenty bids one hundred thousand dollars for Amber.” Madam Jen swiveled her eyes towards the cowboy. “Would anyone like to put in a higher bid?”

  The cowboy was staring at the man at table number twenty with a mixture of disbelief and annoyance. Then he threw up his hands and gave a derisive laugh. He clearly thought that the man was either stupid or insane.

  “Right.” Madam Jen laid a hand on Kerry's elbow and steered her to face table number twenty. “For one hundred thousand dollars, Amber goes to table number twenty!”

  As Kerry took a step forward, Madam Jen told her quietly, “Nathan. His name is Nathan Chase.”

  Kerry glanced back in surprise but Madam Jen was already moving to the next Gem.

  Nathan.

  Kerry whispered his name as she made her way down the stage to his table. Knowing his name somehow emboldened and fortified her. It made him less forbidding and intimidating.

  Nathan Chase surged to his feet when she approached his table. He towered over her and she had to tilt her head back to look him in the eye. “Thank you,” she whispered. “Thank you...”

  She didn't know what else to say even though she was inordinately grateful to him.

  Nathan shrugged off his jacket and threw it over her. “Cover yourself,” he growled.

  Kerry clung to his huge jacket in confusion. Why did Nathan sound so angry? And why did he order her to cover up?

  The bidders were here to see as much bare flesh as they could. And they would only pay for what they liked. If Nathan didn't like what he saw, then why did he bid for her?

  “Sir...” Kerry began uncertainly.

  He snarled angrily when the jacket slipped off her shoulder. His jacket was way too big for her and she felt a little lost in it. But his warmth and scent was pleasant and comforting. She just didn't understand his anger.

  Nathan gripped her around her waist and yanked her to his side. His arm was like a vice around her body, and she felt both trapped and secure by his side.

  “Let's get out of here,” Nathan breathed into her hair as he maneuvered them swiftly past the tables and towards the exit.

  Kerry didn't know what was going on with Nathan. She could feel his seething, roiling anger but he wasn't rough with her. He seemed intent on getting her away from The Ring as quickly as possible and he didn't seem to enjoy the sight of her barely clothed body.

  “Sir...” she tried again. She knew she was his for tonight, but they seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot. “Please, if I have offended you...”

  Nathan only gripped her tighter as he rushed her out of the door. She made a cry when her bare feet dragged on the cold, hard ground.

  With a growl, Nathan swung her into his arms and carried her as though she weighed nothing. Kerry looked around desperately and saw that they were in a parking lot. Nathan unlocked the door of a silver Porsche and bundled her into the passenger seat.

  Kerry shrank back when he got into the car and slammed the door. His jaw was tightly clenched and she could see the tips of his claws glinting in the dark.

  He revved the engine and peeled out of the parking lot. Finally, Nathan's glowing blue eyes cut to her and he saw her pale, frightened face. His foot eased off the accelerator and he cursed under his breath. The maniacal, deadly glow leached from his eyes and his muscles relaxed.

  “Sorry,” he said in a low voice. “I'm sorry.”

  Kerry nodded but didn't dare speak. She couldn't understand his actions at all. Was Nathan a...psychopath?

  Dragging a long breath into his lungs, he said, “I...I'm sorry if I scared you.”

  “Y-you did,” she said.

  “I'm really sorry.” Nathan scrubbed a hand down his handsome face. “I just...I didn't want you walking around naked in front of all the other males. I had to get you out of there before I did something I would regret.”

  Kerry opened her mouth to say that she wasn't exactly naked and that Gems were expected to display their best assets to the bidders. But she guessed that wasn't what he wanted to hear. And it would very likely make him even madder.

  “Patricia would never forgive me if I unleashed my wolf in her club.” Nathan huffed out a laugh.

  Kerry nodded and filed the fact away in her mind. His wolf. Nathan was a wolf shifter.

  “You won the bid,” she said calmly. “So you have the right to do what you want with me.”

  Nathan gave her a long look and asked, “What's your name? Your real name.”

  She didn't have to tell him her name if she didn't want to. Gems were under no obligation to reveal their real names. She was Amber. But she didn't want to be Amber to him.

  “Kerry,” she said softly. “Kerry Scott.”

  Nathan smiled. “I'm Nathan Chase.”

  “I'm pleased to meet you, Mr Chase. And I'm really very happy and grateful that you put in a bid for me,” Kerry answered politely.

  “I wasn't going to. I mean, I didn't intend to bid at all, for any of the Gems.”

  Kerry slanted a curious glance at him. If he didn't intend to bid, then why was he even at the auction? Was he checking out the competition, doing some market survey…?

  “Um, what do you do, Mr Chase?” Kerry blurted out.

  “I own a security firm.”

  “Oh.” Now she understood why he said he didn't intend to bid. “You're at The Ring tonight for work.” Maybe some undercover or surveillance work...

  Nathan nodded once.

  “Me too,” she said before she could stop herself.

  CHAPTER NI
NE

  Nathan glanced at Kerry as he reached for her hand. Her hand was so small, soft and warm. Like the rest of her.

  This was work to her. She was doing this for the money.

  Nathan's frown deepened as he drove on. Was Kerry in debt? She probably needed a large sum of money urgently, but what did she need the money for?

  Was it to bail out a good-for-nothing boyfriend or lover? Did Kerry belong to someone else?

  Nathan let out a growl at the thought. He forced himself to release his grip on her hand when she made a small sound of alarm.

  “Nathan...is something wrong?” she asked worriedly.

  “Do you have a man?”

  “What?” Kerry's gray eyes rounded.

  “Are you doing this for a man?” he snarled.

  “I don't know what you're talking about...”

  “You need the money. That's why you signed the contract with Patricia. To be a Gem.”

  Kerry swallowed audibly. “I...it's none of your business.” She snatched her hand away and folded her arms tightly. “But no, I'm not doing this for some bloody man.”

  After a long silence, she whispered, “It's for my sister.”

  Nathan turned to her but she was looking out the window. Her sister. He didn't know why her sister needed the money but it wasn't any of his business. Her body language told him that she was done talking.

  Well, family was family, and he saw that Kerry was willing to put herself up for auction at The Ring to help her sister even though she was terrified.

  He didn't think he could want her more, but he did. Kerry was someone who would do anything for the people she loved. And loyalty was a trait Nathan admired and valued.

  Kerry was a very special woman, and he knew that he had to make her his. And not just for tonight. His wolf agreed.

  Seeing Kerry walking down the stage and smelling her sweet, feminine scent had pulled his wolf to the surface. He was hard as a rock and his wolf was clawing furiously at him. His need and hunger for her was driving him out of his mind. He'd wanted to grab Kerry and fuck her right there in The Ring. At the same time, he wanted to claw out the eyes of every single male who had seen Kerry's delectable, perfect body.

  He had to leave with Kerry before he trashed Patricia's club and committed murder and assault. Kerry was his, every curvy inch of her belonged to him.

  He would have to make sure that she never stepped foot in The Ring again. She was never to expose herself like that again!

  Nathan suppressed a growl and concentrated on the road ahead. Her scent and warmth was maddening. Being in the car with her, sharing such a small space with her and yet not being able to touch her and take her was sheer, excruciating torment.

  Kerry was leaning her head against the window and she seemed reluctant to tell him anything more about herself. She was deep in her own thoughts, and she kept pulling his jacket up over her shoulders.

  He liked that she was wearing his jacket. He wanted to wrap her up in his scent and leave his mark on her body.

  Tonight he would have her body. He had won the bid, and Kerry had signed the contract. She knew what to expect. But he would make it so good for her. He was going to take her, but before that he was going to pleasure her out of her mind.

  Nathan slotted his car into the parking lot in front of his condo and got out. Kerry didn't say a word when he helped her out and led her to the private elevator at the side of the building. The elevator took them straight up to his penthouse.

  Kerry looked around his luxurious apartment in awe as she followed him across the spacious living room. She gawked at the state-of-the-art home entertainment system and stared at the tasteful, luxurious furnishings.

  “Wow,” she breathed.

  Nathan pulled her to him and held her flush against him. He would show her around later but right now, his need and desire for her was overpowering all his other senses.

  Kerry gasped when she felt how painfully hard he was for her. “Kerry,” he said hoarsely, nuzzling her neck.

  Kerry quivered and tilted her head automatically to allow him better access. The Gems were to obey and fulfill the whims and wishes of their bidders for one night. She wouldn't dare push him away or say no to him.

  But that wasn't what Nathan wanted.

  He wanted her to want him back.

  He wanted her to beg him to take her, and scream his name when he was inside her.

  Nathan tilted her face up to him and kissed the corner of her mouth. He took her mouth slowly, savoring the sweet taste and feel of her. Kerry's lips parted and she returned his kiss hesitantly at first. Nathan coaxed her with his lips and tongue, gradually deepening the kiss.

  Kerry's body relaxed and she kissed him back with growing ardor. Her hands slid up his arms to his shoulders as she began to melt against him.

  Nathan stroked his tongue across her lower lip, gently teasing her before he pushed into her mouth. Kerry released a soft moan as their tongues touched and tangled, igniting her desire. Nathan moved his hands down her body, enjoying the softness of her body as he caressed her curves.

  He groaned as he kneaded her breasts. He wanted to taste her. Growling, he lowered his head and peeled off her nipple pasties with his teeth. Her dark nipples were hard and erect, and he closed his lips over them desperately, hungrily.

  Kerry cried out when he bit and sucked her sensitive, pebbled peaks. He kept licking and suckling her, making her whimper with need.

  Nathan almost lost all control when he scented her feminine moisture between her legs. She was wet, so wet for him.

  Nathan walked Kerry backwards towards his bedroom, his mouth and hands never leaving her.

  CHAPTER TEN

  Nathan kept kissing, licking, touching and stroking her as they pushed into his bedroom. Kerry was whimpering and panting as her desire spiked. Pushing her onto the bed, Nathan tore off her sash and her tights. The fabric ripped easily, fluttering to the floor in ribbons.

  He continued kissing down her body as he unbuttoned his own shirt with one hand. He didn't want to stop tasting her. He balled his shirt up and tossed it into a corner.

  Kneeling down, he threw her legs over his powerful shoulders and kissed the inside of her thighs. He kept moving closer and closer to her sex, making Kerry whimper and fist the sheets.

  He had the whole night. The whole night to enjoy her and make her mad with pleasure.

  From her responses, Nathan could tell that Kerry wasn't a virgin but she had never been with a shifter before. There were some human women who craved shifter sex like a drug. They loved the intensity and ferociousness of it. They loved having hard, feral, animal sex and they got off on the thrill and danger of fucking a shifter.

  Shifters could only impregnate their mates and they couldn't catch any diseases from the humans. They couldn't pass any diseases to their human lovers either. As such, shifter sex usually didn't involve condoms. Sex was raw, wild, uninhibited.

  Kerry was highly aroused, but she was also nervous and confused about her body's strong, sexual response to Nathan. She was holding back, not letting herself go.

  Nathan lapped languidly at her outer folds, giving her pleasure in small, manageable doses. Kerry let out a shuddering sigh and twisted the sheets in her hand. Her pussy pulsed and clenched, leaking her sticking juices into his mouth.

  He began to lick her harder, faster, until he was fucking her with his tongue. Kerry bucked off the mattress when he massaged her engorged clit with his thumb.

  “Nathan...” she panted helplessly.

  “I want to taste you as you come,” he growled.

  Kerry blinked at him but her eyes couldn't seem to focus. She threw her head back as he began eating her pussy again.

  Kerry's chest heaved as her legs fell open. Goose pimples erupted over her flushed body and she began to make a high-pitched, keening sound.

  “Oh Nathan...” His name tumbled from her lips as she began to come against his mouth. Her body clenched and shook as she squirted
her juices onto his tongue.

  She tasted so fucking delicious. Nathan swallowed every drop of her honey, drowning in the taste and scent of her.

  Kerry tried to push his head away. “No more,” she croaked. “I...I can't...”

  Nathan smirked and ran his tongue up her wet folds. She let out a cry as she orgasmed again. Ah, his sweet Kerry was so responsive. He was going to make her come again and again.

  Kerry didn't think she could handle any more, but he knew she could. Her body was still hungry, and her pussy wanted more. He would give her more, so much more.

  Nathan kissed his way up her body, playing with her sensitive, pebbled nipples until she was writhing and rubbing mindlessly against him. There was no doubt that she craved his touch, his kiss and his body.

  Trembling, Kerry pushed herself up on her elbows and stared at him with unmistakable desire and want.

  Her feminine scent was now stronger and more distinct. It filled the room and pulled his wolf up to the very surface. His wolf recognized the scent.

  It was the bonding scent of a mate.

  CHAPTER ELEVEN

  Kerry blinked rapidly, trying to clear her foggy vision. She couldn't think and see very well. But she could feel everything.

  She had never felt so much pleasure before. And Nathan wasn't even naked. Only his shirt was off, and his body was...glorious. She had the craziest urge to lick down his ripped, sculptured body and trail her tongue lower and lower until she had his huge, hard length in her mouth.

  Kerry swallowed and tried to calm herself down. But there was no calming down. Not when Nathan had his skilful lips, tongue and hands all over her.

  Nathan teased her aching nipples with his fingers as he kissed and licked down her body. His hands alternated between her nipples and her throbbing clit, driving her half mad with want and frustration.

  His sexy lips were glistening with her juices and he kissed her deeply, letting her taste and smell herself on him. Kerry writhed beneath him, taking everything he gave her.
