“She’s very possessive of the thing-“ She mused and Maria chuckled as Darcy shot her a look.
“Oh you can talk- Miss independent- I still don’t get how Ryan got you to mate with him so easily.” Darcy frowned- that bit just didn’t make any sense to her.
“It’s hard to explain Darc- but it’s like you have no choice- you want him- you need him- it’s like this really big itch that just has to be scratched.”
“Like chicken pox then.” Darcy shot back and Maria was lost, being Lycan she had no idea what that was like, she had never been ill a day in her life, aside for the odd broken bone or ripped flesh that had healed overnight she had never felt sick.
“Yeah- like the most extreme case of chicken pox you can imagine- add to that a big dose of poison ivy- some hives and a spider crawling over your skin and your close.” Nicole was starring off into space as Darcy groaned and dropped her forehead to the counter top.
“Noooooo.”
“Or maybe not that close really.” Nicole was spaced out in her own mind trying to find the very essence of what it had felt like when Darcy turned her head in place and shot her friend a disgusted look.
“You’re really not helping Nic.”
“Put it this way- it’s the best sex you’re ever going to have and you’re going to have it for the rest of your life.” Nicole said brightly and Maria chuckled again as she eyed the girls from across the counter. Darcy raised her head and frowned.
“What if he picks his toes?” She offered and all three women turned their nose up at her suggestion. “Or farts during meals-“
Nicole rolled her eyes as Maria chortled, “Like any male you will have to cure his bad habits- they all have them you know- Lycan and human- just remember with a Lycan you are getting a man who will die to protect you- walk to the ends of the earth to make you happy and give you so many orgasms in one night you’ll always be contented in bed.”
Nicole and Darcy’s jaws dropped open as they stared back at the older woman and she frowned, “What? I’m getting old but I’m not dead yet.” She informed them hotly. They turned to look at each other before bursting into fits of laughter Just as Ryan swept through the door with Gabe in tow behind him.
“Gabe wanted to help with the food-“ Ryan breathed on an irritable sigh- Nicole shot a look at Darcy who’s cheeks had grown bright red again as she dropped her eyes to the counter top and refused to look at Gabe.
“Thanks Gabe- perhaps you should sit down while you wait for it- there’s a space next to Darcy.” Maria couldn’t help the grin that had spread over her face as Gabe’s mouth shot up in a smirk. Strolling over on long lean legs to sit next to Darcy, Nicole heard her friend give a little whimper as she edged slightly away from him.
Nicole nudged her back, “He doesn’t have the cooties- you’ve already caught what he has.” She hissed back, knowing full well that everyone in the room had heard her words as Darcy groaned again.
“You can talk to me Darcy I’m not going to pounce on you.” Gabe offered and Darcy shot Nicole a look of trepidation.
“Why are you talking to me?” Darcy didn’t look at him as she shuffled on her stool again.
“We could just have sex-“ He shot back and she spun around on her stool to face him.
“Listen here buster-“ She started and Ryan groaned as Nicole dropped down from her stool and walked into his waiting arms.
“Over the next couple of days my Alpha I want you to remember one thing- you brought this on yourself.” Nicole chuckled when he nuzzled her neck and squeezed her to him.
“And you should remember that I’m going to be needing a lot of stress relief.”
Ryan palmed the tiled wall of the shower and put his head under the spray- how had his mundane life of dealing with relatively small pack problems turned around so quickly to become a headache of mating problems, his own had been enough to contend with. Nicole being Fae and not understanding the ways of the Lycan was bad enough- but now Jake had taken a rogue as a mate and Gabe was trying to woo Darcy- three new pack members and none of them had a clue about pack life.
Nicole slid her hands down his sides and over his hips, seeing him standing under the unnatural waterfall with the steady flow of water over his ripped and tanned body had been too much for her senses- she needed to touch her mate- to revel in his hard muscles and velvet skin- pressing her body up against his she found his instant desire for her as it reached its full potential and wrapped it inside her fist.
“Spread your legs Alpha.” She whispered against his back and heard the gentle chuckle leave his lips as he did her bidding- her other hand palming his sack as she stroked him tightly, her thumb paying special attention to the thick sensitive ridge and slit that had his hips moving of their own volition.
“Miss me sweetheart?” He growled out into the water and she couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Just giving my man some stress relief-“ She whispered against his skin- her lips brushing over his taunt flesh before she bared her blunt teeth and nipped him- the growl he gave excited her more than she had ever imagined something so primal could. “I want to taste you Alpha-“
His hands were infinitely faster than her brain, snagging her wrist he whirled on her, his body pressing hers up against the wall, the steel of his erection rubbing over her mound as he captured her mouth- his tongue demanding and receiving entry inside her mouth, his hands palming the soft globes of her backside as he lifted her up his body- her legs wrapped around his hips at the same instant her arms went around his body, her hands running over the hard tense muscles of his back, one hand searching for and fisting his hair.
His hips gently pumping back and forth against her- rubbing the length of his shaft over her sex- the brush of his glands over the puckered hole of her backside, teasing her core, creating a buzz of little shocks through her folds until the powerful jolt of his hardness rubbing the nub had her squirming against him- searching for more- needing him to fill her.
“Don’t tease me Alpha-“ She breathed out when he released her mouth and nuzzled the soft skin of her neck- his blunt teeth nipping against her pulse and she felt him grin- pictured it in her mind- she didn’t need to see his face.
“I like to tease you- you get all squirmy- I like squirmy it lets me know how much you want me inside you and you want me inside you don’t you sweetheart?” He closed his lips over her pulse and sucked hard and she squirmed against him causing him to chuckle.
“Deep- deep inside me Ryan.”
He lifted her hips, tracing his glands over her folds until he found the heat of her core, lowering her down on his shaft as she pressed her way down- taking him to the hilt in one long stroke- her core stretching around him until he filled her so completely.
“You’re just so damned tight- you feel so good Nic.”He hitched her up to the tip and slide her down again revelling in the feel of her muscled walls as she squeezed him, massaging his sex with hers- the low growl of pleasure that rolled through his chest hitching her excitement as she squeezed him while he pulled out to the very tip and held her muscles taunt as he stroked back in- her core a velvet glove encasing him- massaging him until he pulled her away from the wall- one hand on her backside, the other against her spine as he leaned her backwards and she squealed and clung on tighter around his neck.
“I promise I won’t drop you-“ He grinned down at her as her eyes flashed with uncertainty- the gentle pull of his erection sliding out to the very tip silencing her protests- he rocked her against him- thrusting into her as momentum brought her hips back to his and any thought of falling was banished from her thoughts as his thrusts picked up pace until he was pumping into her, her body climbing hard and fast to release, her head dropping back exposing her throat to his teeth as he nipped and then soothed over her skin with his tongue.
He thrust in deep and held, grinding his hips to hers as his hand flicked off the spray and he gathered her to him- the protest of her imminent release being so abruptly denied he
r giving him cause to chuckle as he strolled through the bathroom with her wrapped around him as though she weighted nothing at all.
He didn’t break his stride until his knee came down on the mattress- her back sinking into the softness with the hardness of his body coming down with her- his hips pressed against hers taking her deeply- the harsh sound of her breath being sucked past her lips causing him to pull back.
“Did I hurt you?”The feel of his fingertips running down on her cheek brought her eyes open to see the concern in his dark eyes.
“Pleasured not hurt.”
He pushed so slowly to the hilt that the sensation rolled through her- her fingers curling into the muscles of his shoulders. “Too slow-“ She protested causing that grin to appear on his face again.
“Teasing you.” She palmed his chest and pushed hard managing to shift him onto his back as she rolled with him, straddling his hips, he slipped in that little bit further and she threw her head back glorying in the fullness before she snaked her hips- riding up and down his shaft with a gentle grace that enthralled him to watch- her body undulating to her own rhythm as she massaged the length of him with her inner muscles.
Ryan reached for her hips- a gentle press against her flesh so as not to still the memorising dance she perform above him- truly captivating him with her grace and beauty as he climbed with her towards release- just the sight of his mate like this was enough to pump more blood into his shaft making him rock hard with an ache for release that she was more than satisfying with the increased rhythm- her inner muscles working around him until his whole body started to tense with the blessed release she promised.
It took every bit of willpower within him not to thrust his hips up towards her for fear he would break his lovers rhythm and he’d be damned if he was going to do that- he had never experienced anything like this before- she was a seductress of the wickedest kind sweeping him up with the sensual delights of her body until he felt the fever burning within him- the sweat cresting over his brow as he held back his own needs- wanting this never to end- she was perfection and she was his.
The hitch in the gentle moans that escaped her throat with every sweep of her hips matched his low growls of pleasure and he knew she was as close to release as he was- his fingertips lightly traced over her ribs until he found the hard pebbled nipples, rolling them so damned gently between his fingers as she whimpered her impending release- he squeezed his muscles tight for fear he would explode before she did- the effect she was having on him, a torturous erotic claiming of not just his body but his very soul, that he never wanted to end this fantasy and yet his body betrayed him- desperately fighting the release she caused.
He felt her muscles clench hard around him- that moment of anticipation for her body before she cried out with the force of her release- her inner muscles going into spasms so tightly around him that he growled hard, his hands gripped her hips as he thrust up into her claiming his own release that tore through his body like a hellhound devouring him.
The roar echoed through the room, his seed exploding deep within her while the exquisite hard throb pulsed through his nerves- pulling back his hips he thrust hard over and over spilling his essence into his mate as she collapse down onto his body- her chest heaving as she gasped for air- the aftershocks rolling through her body until she stilled on top of him- gentle little tremors washing through her.
Ryan slowly came back to his reality with his mate curled up on his chest- his arms wrapped around her like bands of steel possessive and protective as she slowly recovered her senses- her fingers curling and uncurling against his chest as he soothed her with the gentle stroke of his fingertips over her back until she practically purred her contentment against his skin.
“Stress relief-“ She mused on a smirk before turning her head and pressing her lips against his heated flesh- the look in her eyes was that of mischief when she grinned up at him, resting her chin on her hands that were palmed against his pecs- his eyes flashing amusement down at her as he hooked her under her arms and dragged her up his hard body.
“I need more stress in my life- do you have anymore Fae friends that could be possible mates for my males?” He teased palming her face in his hands and not giving her a chance to answer before he claimed her mouth- a slow worshiping that he hoped showed her the reverence he felt for her- the devotion to her and the unconditional love he would always give to her.
Shay left Jake asleep in bed as she padded on bare feet into the woods his oversized tee like a mini dress that reached down her legs to her knees- the early morning mist whispered the promise of a delectable crisp embrace over her she-wolfs body as she lifted the thin material free and dropped it over a low lying branch- the shiver of her body as she called her beast forward- the animal itching for release to run free through the underbrush.
Claws tore into the earth as her beast set off through the woods- uncaring of the sights and sounds around her as she stretched out her caged muscles and languished in the feel of nature around her. Her human body ached from the night of union with her mate- the bonding had taken its toll on her muscles and she relished the strength of her beast as she powered on.
A scent caught of the wind, familiar to her wolf and yet not of the pack as her wolf slowed- following the scent as it gained in strength. She knew it now- darkly earthy- male and very- very rogue- he had come for her as he always did- the only one she could call friend over the years as they travelled in circles around each other- meeting to compare kills and share information- to take pleasure in the simple aspect of company in a world they chose to travel alone.
Shay stopped just short of where his wolf stood- large and proud- he was magnificent with the long silver band that ran from the tip of his snout to the base of his thick tail- so much stronger than she was- he was a natural Alpha but too unpredictable to ever be a leader to a pack- a temper that rivalled even the most ferocious beast and she eyed him with the suspicion she usually felt on their first meeting after so long- one day he would become so feral that he would be a threat to any that crossed him and she wondered if that day was here.
Dex’s wolf bowed to her as he always did to show her he was still in control of his wolf and she relaxed within herself- allowing him to shift first into human form, before she called her wolf back within herself. He was an impressive wolf and an impressive male- his torso ripped with hard muscle that she knew could overpower her without much effort on his part and had on more than one occasion- when they had shared a physical need for release.
Dex sniffed the air- his dark brows rising high on his forehead as he smelled the mixture of scents from her body- his eyes flicking down to the bonding mark that had not had time to completely heal yet on her neck- his eyes narrowing.
“Something’s new with you-“ He mused, although his tone wasn’t quite right and the hardness of his stare still on Jake’s mark had her tensing a little.
“It appears life goes on even for me-“ Shay offered- keeping the distance between them as he started to circle around towards her, his eyes fixed on the mark.
“Unexpected.”
“For both of us.” Shay agreed and watched his eyes flick back to her face- he was physically making the effort to push the tension away as he stopped and folded his arms over his chest.
“The Fae you spoke of-“ He demanded and Shay shook her head.
“Solitary witch- no threat to the Lycan nation.” She saw his eyes cloud with darkness and took a long slow breath- that was never a good sign.
“All Fae are a threat and should be eradicated- why do you persist in making exceptions and leaving me to clear up after you?” The anger rippled through him like a wave- his words making her head snap upwards as she regarded him across the way- her brain hit a high gear before she had even contemplated his words.
“Clear up after me?” She asked needing the clarity behind his words and he waved one hand dismissively.
“Where is the Fae now?” He demanded, his body becoming mor
e agitated by the second as she recognised the signs- he was becoming out of control- the way his muscles flexed in an almost constant loop- his eyes roaming nervously- the anxiety that he could no longer hide from her.
“Protected by a pack-“ She offered while her mind consider all of her options.
“Your pack- I take it.” He motioned to the woods around him and she nodded.
“She’s the Alpha’s mate Dex- off limits to-“ Dex whirled in place- the anger surging through him as his skin rippled with the need of his wolf to break free- barely contained under the surface.
“Off limits!- “ he spat out whirling back to face her- the rage firing his black eyes. “No Fae is ever off limits Shay.” The feral growl that accompanied his tirade caused her heckles to rise and her beast to pull back its jaws and growl out a warning inside her.
“She is my Alpha’s mate Dex-“ The words were a warning that Dex didn’t need to hear, he knew full well what he needed to do now. Shay would have to be put down before he went after the Fae- there was no other way- collateral damage for the good of the Lycan nation.
“Step aside Shay- you have one chance to do the right thing.” He snarled at her- his fangs out- his eyes wild with his beast as he faced off in front of her- her body primed and ready for the change- for the attack.
“Yes I do.” The words had no sooner left her lips as she shifted into her beast- just one second before he did the same. Launching herself forwards to meet his attack she sank her teeth into the flesh of his shoulder- drawing first blood and causing him to snarl a roar of pain- quickly using his balk to overpower her- crashing to the floor Shay was quickly on her feet again but Dex was already on her- his claws tearing into her flesh as his fangs sunk deeply within her throat ripping against the soft flesh as she went down under his weight- her wolf sprawled beneath him on the earth- the whimper of pain from her throat as he tore into her until there was just silence.
