Squeezing her flesh in his hands, he nodded. “Just like that,” he said between his teeth. “God yes, just like that,” he moaned as she moved down a little more. Gritting his teeth together tightly, he slid down in the tub just a bit more, letting her have more space.
When he slid down, it gave her a better angle and room so she could move down harder and faster on him. She whimpered and let her nails rake his chest as she finally had all of him inside of her cunt. “It feels so good.” There was no pain at all, just pleasure.
“Does it ever,” he moaned in agreement, loving the way her pussy clutched at him, hugging him intensely and lovingly. “Move, Mina,” he encouraged, his body already shaking, and he knew it wouldn’t take much for him to come for her.
She began to move on him, using his hands as her guide and moving up and then down, shivering as she twitched and did it again, faster this time. Somewhere in the back of her mind she was afraid she would hurt him, but she moved harder, she moved faster, and demanded more from him, needed more from him.
“That’s my girl,” he breathed out slowly, trying as hard as he could to remain still, to just help her and to not take over.
It was brutally hard for his Wolf to remain still and to not dominate her. But this was her time and the Wolf knew it, too, so, as a unit, he and the Wolf let her have her time with him, learning her own body more intimately in the process. “Lean forward, love, and kiss me,” he whispered to her, knowing it would change the angle as well as rub her beautiful breasts against him, giving them both even more sensations.
She leaned forward and brushed her lips against his, kissing him as she did so. Her breasts scraped against his chest and she whimpered out her need even as her nails bit into his skin. The new angle made her body tighten even more on him. She moved faster, harder until she suddenly stilled, her pussy clenching, and she cried out in a soft mewling sound as she came once more.
His Wolf was definitely pleased with the results and he was enamored by the sweet sound of her release. Holding her hips a little more solidly in his hands, Janos continued to move her over him even as he lifted to meet her descending body. Water rocked around them, some hitting the tile work, more hitting the floor, but all he cared about was the marvelously intriguing glazed expression on her face. Then it changed and he arched up into her pussy, burying himself even deeper as he flew apart, his own orgasm tearing through him with a swift vengeance.
She sobbed once more, her body coming with his and her hands tightening. Again it felt as if he grew larger when he exploded inside of her tight cunt, but it didn’t hurt, just felt so amazingly good. Her head dropped to his shoulder as she panted and kissed the side of his neck. “I love you, Janos, so much I love you.” She was as limp as a noodle on him, just collapsing on him after their shared release.
“Good,” he breathed out, wrapping her in his arms as he slid them down into the water and then hit the jets to warm it a bit. “Because I love you, too, my darling little mate.” He smiled against her cheek. She was all his now and for as long as he could have her. Holding her to him, he felt his body relax under hers even as he still pumped his seed into her body and knew a true inner peace, one that only ever came from finding that perfect other half of who you were.
She grinned and sighed. “I didn’t know that you were supposed to get bigger when you let go inside of me, Janos.” And to still feel him releasing inside had her inner walls clenching on him again and shivering in reaction. “But I like it, a lot.”
Smiling at her, he stroked back her hair lightly so he could see her face. “Like our animal counterparts, we grow larger as we come. It’s to lock ourselves into our mate so that our seed goes where it’s supposed to,” he told her quietly. “Not all females like the sensation. Some find it too much like being trapped.”
“I really like it.” She looked up at him and was all smiles. “I love the feeling of you spilling inside of me, coming inside of me.” She shivered again, his seed bouncing off her inner walls and triggering small orgasms as it raced by her G-spot. “You can trap me anytime you want to, Janos, here, in your office on your desk, wherever,” she teased saucily.
Growling at her, he nipped her chin. “Witch,” he teased with a smile. “I’ll hold you to that, you know,” he told her with a sincere look as he cupped the back of her head and pulled her closer. Against her lips, he whispered, “I intend to have you everywhere I can at any time I can.”
“That’s good, because I don’t want to have to beg. It just seems wrong to have to beg the man you love to make love to you in the middle of his office while there are tons of people just outside the door, if you know what I mean.” She kissed him lightly, just brushing her lips over his. “I love you, Janos. You can have me anytime and anywhere.”
“Good.” He smiled at her. Reaching out, he turned the jets off and hugged her to him. “You should wash up, love, and then we really need to get out or we’ll be prunes. That and the fact that I need to feed you breakfast before I call my brother and let him know I’ve got a new victim…uh”—he grinned—“volunteer for his shop.”
Mina shook her head and laughed. “I love books, Janos, and I’m not a victim if I am doing something I love.” She took the soap and cloth and leaned back on him, moaning as she did so, her breath catching in her chest. “Right, time to wash up,” she murmured as she began to run the cloth down her arms and then front. “Make sure he knows I only will be working when you are at the club closest to his shop.” Because in all honesty, she was afraid to be far from him, silly, really, but there it was.
“Which will be fine, sweet,” he told her, lounging back, arms on the edges of the tub as he watched her. “I’m normally at the Moon anyway, especially since Max is stuck at Edge for a time with our lack of management there right now.” That still pissed him off. “I only go to the others once a week, usually all in the same day to ensure that we’re ordering properly, the books are solid, and that I put the fear of god into them if they screw me over.”
“Sounds good.” She frowned and said, “You know, if the others expect you only on certain days, there is no telling what they are doing on the days that you aren’t there. Maybe you should go in on random days, just to check things out? Maybe go in as a customer only?” She didn’t know why that came to mind, but it did and now it bothered her to think that they could be doing something when he wasn’t there and costing him.
“I do, love,” he said softly. “I go in whenever I get two seconds, and then on a regular day as well for the books, and I just wander through for a random howdy-do to them. Max does the same since we had the issue. As well, my brothers go in now and again just to watch over things, and since they’re there all the time, one way or another it keeps everyone on their toes so that they don’t get complacent and try to rob me blind.”
“I don’t know why that came into my mind. I’m really silly, I know.” Mina leaned back and handed him the soap and cloth. “Do you think that I can come off of you now, Janos?” She didn’t want to hurt him if she moved too quickly, so she asked, erring on the side of caution.
Smiling at her, he nodded. “You can, love. I won’t hurt you now if you pull away,” he said softly and helped her move to one side. “I’m glad you’re worried, Mina. It’s a good thing. Makes me feel special and loved to know you’re worrying about me, baby.”
“Of course I worry about you, Janos,” she said with a smile. “I love you, and people who care about each other are supposed to worry, right?” She touched his cheek and nodded. “Now, I’m going to get dried off and pull my clothes back on so that we can eat or go for a walk or nap or whatever you want, all right?”
Tugging her close, he kissed her. “We’ll eat and then head into the city to meet Ben before he buries his nose in a book or gets involved in a deep discussion over politics or something. Go and get ready,” he said quietly to her with a smile. “I’ll be out in a few minutes. If you want to steal a shirt, love, go for it,” he added as he helpe
d her out of the bath.
“I do.” She wanted to wear one not because she needed it, but because she wanted to smell like him. She loved the scent of him and wanted to carry that with her wherever they went.
Chapter 29
Moving from the bathroom, she went straight to his closet and pulled out a long-sleeved flannel that seemed well worn and well loved. Tugging it on, she then looked for her jeans to pull them on as well. Once she was dressed, she turned to look for a brush and, not finding one, frowned, sat on the bed, and waited for Janos so that she could get one.
Snapping her fingers, she was off the bed and toward her boxes, looking through them for her hair brush when she heard him come out. Turning to look up at him, she grinned. “I lost my hairbrush.”
“Use mine, love,” he told her, still drying his hair as he came into the room. “We can pick you up one on the way back here tonight as well as anything else you need, too. Better make a list,” he advised, going to the closet to find a pair of black jeans and a black T-shirt. Tugging on his clothing, he pulled out his boots and stuffed them on his feet before grabbing his jacket and tossing it to the bed with his wallet.
Pulling on socks and then shoes, she looked around for a notepad and pen. Finding one, she began to jot down small things, toothbrush, her kind of toothpaste, brush, socks, panties, bras, heavy coat. She tapped the pen to her lips. She had a limited amount of money, but she should be able to buy all of this without trouble. “All right, I think I have it all.”
“Write down razors, please,” he called to her as he searched through his drawers in the bathroom. “I seem to be down to only one,” he frowned. “Not a good thing,” he muttered, coming back out to the bedroom once more and pocketing his wallet before tugging on his jacket. Snagging his keys, he looked to her and smiled. “Ready? I figure we can hit the Pancake Palace or something on the way to the bookshop.”
“Sounds good to me.” She had never been to the Palace. She had been to the greasy spoon near her home, but only twice, so this would be interesting. “Razors are down, anything else?” She snapped her fingers. “Deodorant for me.” Because she would be humiliated if she smelled bad for him, ever.
Grinning at her, he shook his head. “I think I’m good for everything else at least until the Sunday shopping trip,” he told her. “Keep the pen with you. If you think of something else along the way you can write it down. But”—he moved to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind—“I’m hungry,” he said nibbling on her neck. “Your Wolf needs sustenance, sweetheart.”
“All right, let’s go and get you some food,” she said with a grin and a nod. “Sunday’s shopping trip?” she asked as they moved down the hall and toward the front door. “You go on a big shopping trip on Sundays? What for? Is it for groceries or just anything that you happen to need?”
“Groceries,” he told her. Following as she walked, he let his eyes trail over her with a smile. “I always get fresh stuff every week and then every second week is for the buying of the meat. At the beginning of the month I get all the paper goods and any cleaning supplies I need.” Shutting the door behind them, he headed for the car. “Now you know my Sunday routine,” he said with a grin as he held open the door.
“Sounds like a fun time on Sundays,” she teased and climbed into his car. “I can’t see you being able to bring home many groceries in this, however, because it just doesn’t seem large enough.” She grinned at the thought given the small vehicle they were in.
“I have a truck that I use for shopping trips,” he told her as he started the car. “It’s a gas guzzler, so I only use it for shopping and when I have to do fall cleanup and for taking anything to the dump.” Pulling away from the house, he slowed as he approached the gates, letting them slide away before driving through. “This I use the rest of the time because it’s damned sweet on gas after a few tweaks my brother did to it.”
“And which brother is that, love?” she asked with a grin as she buckled in and watched him as he practically caressed the steering wheel. “You really love this car, Janos.” She was learning him, slowly, but she was learning him, and he made her smile with each small thing she learned.
“Yes, yes, I do. Between Kris and me we’ve put in a great many man hours on this.” He grinned at her. “But don’t worry, I love you more, Mina, and at least I can cuddle with you,” he teased. “Kris is a geek. Anything he reads he remembers, a lot like Ben, but Ben’s more fanciful.”
“Well see, at least you have your priorities,” she said, grinning, and nodded. “I think I will like them both a great deal, Janos.” Mostly because they were his brothers, and when he spoke of them she felt the love he had for them. “Fanciful can be really good, Janos, especially living in a world like we do. We need to be able to look for the fairies in the grass instead of seeing the bleak darkness before us.”
Looking over at her, he smiled. “Fairies huh?” he asked with a soft chuckle. “Can’t say I’ve ever seen one, but who knows, could find one any day now.” Turning his attention back to the road, he relaxed back a little more in his seat. “I think you’ll like all my brothers as long as you learn early on to block out the unsolicited advice that they give whenever they are around.”
“They only give it to you because they love you, Janos,” she said with a smile and turned to look at him as they drove. “I wish I had a family like you had growing up. It completely sucks growing up in the system, so while I really am sad that you lost your parents at such a young age, I am thankful you had four older brothers willing to keep and protect you.”
She shrugged. “And I’m glad that you’re mine now and I will get to claim to have four older brothers now, too,” she added with a rosy, cheeky grin.
“You can have them,” Janos said with a grin. “I’ll even sign all rights to them over to you if you’ll only just take them. Please,” he pleaded with her and gave a hopeful look her way. “They do chores”—occasionally—“they are great dancers”—as long as you weren’t the brother playing the girl during the lessons—“and they can all tell reasonably decent jokes.”
“Well, I think I got them as a part of becoming your mate, didn’t I?” she asked, grinning and nodding. “I will take them and I will keep them.” Hopefully they wouldn’t make her cry or scare her too much. She could hope and pray at least. “As long as they don’t try to scare me to death, I think we will be all right with each other.” She hoped.
Janos growled at that and shot her a look. “They do anything to you and I’ll kill them,” he promised her in a deadly tone. “They scare you, make you start for any reason, or make you cry, and I swear, their lives are forfeit.”
“It will be fine. I promise you, love, it will be all right.” She would just have to make sure that she didn’t show fear or cry, because she didn’t want to come between Janos and his brothers, ever.
“We’ll see,” he said with a squinted look at her. “Now”—he pointed ahead to the restaurants—“which would you like to hit up? Your choice, love, pick one, any one,” he told her with a smile.
“I would like to try the Pancake Palace since you mentioned it. I think I could really go for some pancakes if you don’t mind?” She wanted pancakes with strawberries on top of them. She could almost taste the strawberries, not something she had very often, but truly loved.
Grinning at her, he nodded and headed up the street to the Palace and pulled into the lot. Parking near the door, he shut off the car and got out. Moving around, he opened her door for her and held out his hand. “Come on, darling, time for pancakes,” he told her softly.
Her hand moved into his and she grinned. “How many women actually have a man that is willing to be as giving as you are? Are you a rarity, and how did I get lucky enough to be able to claim you as mine?” She squeezed his hand as she stood up from the car and moved close to him. “And I am keeping you forever, so whatever it was that I did, I hope I continue to do it.”
“You were chosen by the fates to be my
mate,” he told her. “So in reality, I’m the lucky one, Mina. But,” he drawled as he led her toward the door. “I have to admit, I am one of a kind, so a little loving now and again to show your appreciation for the fact wouldn’t be amiss,” he teased.
“I will pet you like I did your Wolfy pet if you will let me.” She had to admit that now she was very curious as to how he looked in Wolf form. “Would you mind sharing your Wolf side of you with me? I want to know how you look, how you feel, and if you will like me as much in that form as this one.”
Stopping with his hand on the door, he looked at her and nodded. “Absolutely, love,” he told her softly. “We can do that whenever you’re ready,” he said, touching her hair lightly and stroking his fingers through it. “I’ll like you just as much in that form as I do in this one, Mina, so you needn’t worry, I promise.” He smiled. Pulling open the door, he ushered her inside, his hand resting possessively on her lower back as he scanned the interior of the restaurant.
The waitress came up and Mina asked for a booth. She happened to look up as the woman was gathering menus and smiled up at Janos, only half a moment before she looked into the smoking section and saw it filled with men who wore white and red, white and green, green and blue, and as one they turned to face her and Janos.
She stepped in closer to Janos and swallowed. “Maybe we should go?” she asked softly, knowing the men in that room were all “on their side” as Janos had put it, but it was nerve wracking for her, too.
“We’re fine, love,” he said, tipping his head toward the men as he encouraged her to sit on the inside of the bench. Sliding in next to her, Janos took the menus with a thank-you to the waitress and passed one to her. “They won’t bother us, besides,” he told her, leaning closer to kiss her cheek. “I’m the youngest son. A passing nod is the best I can get,” he teased her, nipping her ear gently.
She relaxed at his side and nodded as she opened the menu. “All right, I think it’s just that I suddenly am seeing them where I never would have before.” More than likely these people had been around all the time. She just was seeing them now because she was looking for them. “And you can always have far more than a passing nod from me, my love.”
