This was no dream- she was here- he was here- she couldn’t feel this much from a dream, she knew that for sure and she turned to snatch a glance at him- her body relaxing with his presence and recoiling from it at the same time.
“Why wouldn’t you just let me go?” Her voice was quiet- shell shocked and he reached out to touch her hand, but when she flinched he pulled back- that slight movement causing his guts to twist.
“I don’t understand Fay- in your dream you said my wolf was coming to you but that’s not possible love-“
“Every time I slept- he was there- the waterfall- him- you wouldn’t let me be- I couldn’t even try to forget you- you tormented me until I couldn’t sleep and then my magic was out of control-“ She caught the sob in her throat and he reached for her then- unable to stop himself from pulling her into his arms.
Fay tried to pull away for only as long as it took him to pull her onto his lap and wrap her in his strong arms- the scent of him washing through her- soothing her as his heat warmed her to the bone and she curled into his chest- safe- that feeling of peace that had been so elusive washing through her and she knew he was doing this- whether by choice or by design but she didn’t give a damn- it felt good- it was a relief for her mind and body.
“I swear to you Fay. I was not in one of your dreams this past week- from the moment you left I couldn’t feel you anymore love- you were too far from me-“ He stroked down her back in steady movements- his own body responding to her proximity like a dose of medicine for what had ailed him for the past week.
“But the wolf was there-“
“I’ve never heard of a bond that could be sustained over that kind of distance and I didn’t share your dream the same way I did when we were at Faith’s- the way we just did- are you sure it was my wolf?”
“I know your wolf better than I know you-“ It was a closeted accusation.
“Are you feeling strong enough to come outside- I think maybe it’s time you two met in person?”
Fay hesitated, he felt her stiffen against him and knew that she feared his wolf- could feel her trepidation rolling from her.
“He won’t hurt you love- he’s a part of me and both of us have the overriding need to protect you above all others- he could never hurt you.”
“And yet he torments me-“
“Maybe if he was coming to you it was to try to ease your fear.”
“And drive me insane?”she mumbled as she detached herself from Adam and he let her go. She scooted off the bed and stood on unsteady legs- he was by her side in an instant, his hands steadying her as she turned to look up at him.
“Do you fear me Fay?” She shook her head, down turning her eyes and regarding the floor as he sighed, “So it’s the wolf you fear?” he could feel his wolf whining inside him- sadness overwhelming the beast.
“Do you trust me?” His words were whispered into her hair and she had the overwhelming need within her to get closer to him- resting back against his chest and revelling in the feel of his strong arms about her.
“Yes.”
“Then come outside with me.” He took her hand in his and led her towards the bedroom door- she didn’t hesitate as she followed him down the stairs and into the living room- Abel lifted his head and half opened his eyes- snapping to attention when he saw her.
“Hey Fay- how you doing?” He was on his feet in an instant and Adam pulled her against his hip, his arm around her waist as she sought his protection- knowing what Abel was had the fear rising within her again- a rush that hit Adam like a brick wall.
“She’s ok Abel- back off a little ok?” Abel didn’t need telling twice- he could see the wariness in Fay’s eyes as she looked at him from under her brows.
Joshua stirred on the couch and in turn disturbed Hope who was asleep against his chest- tucked under one large arm and he looked at Adam and went to rouse Hope when he shook his head- Joshua nodded his understanding as he smiled down at Hope with possession in his eyes.
Adam didn’t want the whole dramatics of Hope waking up- not now- there would be questions and right now he wanted Fay to himself and she needed to relinquish her fears- for his wolf- for Abel. If Hope woke up she might take solace with her friend and he may never get through to her.
He pushed through the front door and led her down the steps, her head turning back towards the house- watchful of what Abel would do.
The moon was lighting the way for them as he guided her towards the trees and he could feel the nervous apprehension rolling from her in waves.
When they reached the clearing Adam set her aside from him as she looked around nervously, her tongue darting out to run the length of her lips. “You ready?” he asked and he saw her straighten where she stood, her chin tipping up in defiance against her worries, a nod of her head as she clasped her hands into little fists at her side.
Adam grinned down at her- proud of his mates resolve and eager for her to meet his wolf- to show her that there was nothing to fear- something he should have done a week ago. He reached for his top and tore it off and heard Fay’s breath catch a little in her throat as she took him in with her eyes- he saw the way her cheeks coloured with the rush of blood- saw her lips part as he reached for the waistband of his jeans and when he peeled them down his muscled thighs he heard her little gasp of arousal for him.
“Did you miss me sweetheart?” He couldn’t help the teasing sound of his voice as her eyes fixed on his arousal- standing proud with the need and longing for her that washed through him- her tongue flicked out wetting her lips again, this time for totally carnal reasons as she dragged her eyes back to his- the amusement couldn’t conceal the dark desire he felt to have her.
“The wolf’s not going to try to hump my leg right?” he couldn’t contain the belly laugh that rolled through him and he wanted to go to her and feel her in his arms- stem the worry that he felt coming from her even with her new found bravado, but he knew that if he touched her now he would take her- right here and now and that wasn’t going to happen.
“ If you could shift he would definitely mate you- but the only one who’s going to be inside you tonight is me-“ Her eyes flicked from his face to his arousal and back again and he could see that she was fighting taking a step towards him- if she did he would take her.
“Just- shift already.” She spat out and in an instant she saw him do just that- the man becoming a wolf in front of her eyes- no crunch of bone- no hair growing through his skin- no howling at the moon- just a shift- like the wind had washed over his body and replaced him with a wolf- instantly dropping to all fours he stood there before her- his eyes taking her in and she sucked in a steadying breath as the shiver washed through her.
Where before she wanted to step closer he could sense her desire to step back now and a whimper escaped his throat as he tentatively moved towards her- slowly- so very slowly, his eyes never leaving hers for fear she would run from him.
“Yep- that’s my dream wolf-“ She half mumbled to herself as Adam came to stand in front of her- she swayed slightly- he wasn’t sure if she was debating running or just backing away a little, so he moved his head towards her clenched fist and nudged her gently.
The soft feel of his fur against her knuckles made her shiver and when he did it again she pulled in a breath as her hand unclenched slightly with each nudge- he brushed the side of his face against the back of her hand and she finally reached for him- her fingers were tentative as she allowed them to lightly trace over his head- the gentle whine from the wolf encouraging her on.
“I thought you would feel more wiry.” His fur was exquisite- lush and deep with a softness like silk to her fingertips and she found herself giving a nervous chuckle when he nuzzled between her outer thigh and her hand running his face up her leg as though to lift the hem of her skirt- “Thought you weren’t going to try shagging my leg.” She mused and was greeted by another whine that sounded half human in its sincerity.
Fay couldn’t fight the nervous tension that streaked through her
but she was more than ready to give in to her urge to meet this wolf on her own terms- slowly she folded down onto her knees on the ground before him- her eyes meeting his as a small smile touched her lips- she was awe struck by his majestic beauty- this wolf- her wolf was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen and she felt her heart reach out to the beast.
“Ok. So no eating your mate- not even a snack-“ She breathed out nervously as she ran her hand over his head and down his shoulders- her wolf nuzzling into her as she bit down on her lower lip- the smile spreading across her face as her bravery grew.
“I gotta touch those ears-“ She chuckled and he lowered his head and pushed towards her as she used two hands to rub around the soft short fur- a mew coming from her lips as she revelled in the feel of him- her delight when he eased down to his belly and slowly edged towards her across the ground and she sat back on her legs as he rested his head in her lap with a gentle whine of belonging.
“This is so fecking awesome Adam-“ She almost whispered the words as her eyes shone with the amazement that was washing away her doubt- her fear of him- he shuffled closer- his nose pressed against her stomach as she brushed her hands over his fur and he gave another gentle whimper against her. “You’re just a big softie-“ she teased as he gave a gentle growl in response the deep tone rumbled over her thighs and she felt the stirring deep within her- the sound an echo of when she had made love with Adam.
Adam sensed the moment that she let go of her fears and accepted his beast for what it was- a part of him- something that would never hurt her and when he growled low in his throat in his wolf’s disapproval of her teasing he could sense a change in her- her arousal for him growing stronger and he almost shifted right there in her lap- the need to take her so strong that it caused him physical pain to stay in wolf form.
It took every ounce of strength he had to wait until he had pulled back from her to shift back to his human side- crouched on the ground naked before her he felt the blood rush to his groin- the need for her was so great that he was rock hard and moving towards her in a heartbeat.
“Hey- I was just getting to know your wolf-“ the protest died on her lips when her eyes dropped down to the thick shaft against his stomach and she licked her dry lips as the heat pooled between her thighs- her eyes flicking back to his- the dark desire calling to her own as he came across the ground towards her- reaching for her and pulling her to her knees- his body pressed hard against hers as his lips came down on her own without mercy- his tongue demanding entry that she had no willpower to deny.
His mouth devoured her- his strong hands roamed over her body- reclaiming the feel of her as his own- while her hands were no less demanding- feeling his hard muscles as they travelled down to the hard swell of his backside, she palmed his flesh and squeezed him against her.
Adam fisted the hair at the nape of her neck and pulled her head back, tearing his lips from hers as his eyes searched her face for answers.
“Do you want me Fay- because I have a need to buried inside you that I can’t contain much longer?” he didn’t wait for her answer- his lips against the soft skin of her neck- his hand running the length of her thigh taking her skirt up over her hips before he followed the swell of her backside- his hand pushing under her panties and down the crack between her cheeks until he found the hot wet core that pulsed her need for him- his finger slipping in deeply as her silken walls clenched around him.
The wanton gasp that escaped her lips coupled with her tight squeeze of his backside urging him on as he pulled back and slipped another finger into her hot flesh- the whimper of need growing stronger as he gently bit down around the pulse in her neck before running his tongue hard and flat up the vein, along her jaw line, where he nipped against her chin before delving back in between her lips with such a frenzy that she was melting around him.
She brought her hands to his chest and pushed him backwards into the dirt- following him down- her mouth locked against his as she straddled his waist- his fingers thrust deep into her core and she moaned into his mouth with the need to be filled by him.
It was she who broke the kiss- pushing up with her palms against his chest she backed up over his body as his eyes snared her- snatching his fingers from inside her he tore at the thin lace that covered her core- the hard steel of his shaft beneath her folds as she rocked her hips back and forth along his arousal- her wetness leaving him slick against her- the tip of his shaft nudging her sensitive nub as she moaned her desire.
His fingers bit into her hips as he lifted her away from his body- his arousal springing up as if to claim her all on its own- when she reached between them and wrapped her fist around him causing him to groan out a curse beneath her as she steered him to the heat that needed to be claimed- the bulbous head entering her core and spreading her walls as she removed her hand and pushed down onto him- her need for him to be deep within her making her thrust down with an urgency that had them both crying out into the night.
“Easy love-“ Adam cautioned- but she paid him no mind as she pulled up and thrust down to the hilt- her muscles tightly sheathing him as he growled with the pleasure that rolled through him, she clenched and released those tight walls - the erotic massage causing him to grow almost painfully rock solid within her. “Fay-“ he warned feeling the wolf inside howl its approval- its need as she lifted up over his shaft to thrust back down on him again- the cry from her lips a plea for more.
Adam spat out a dark curse as the need for her overwhelmed him- his fingers tightened against her hips- he lifted her to the very tip before bringing her back down on him, his hips thrusting up hard and taking her deeply as she threw her head back and cried out her pleasure.
He wasn’t going to be able to hold back his beast for much longer- the desire to take her was just too damned strong and when she cried out his name on a plea for more he felt the beast rush to the surface- his hips moving hard and fast as he thrust up into her- a pounding rhythm that had her breath catching in half sobs of pure pleasure as she rode him- her fingers curling into the hard muscles of his chest as her nails dug deep and drew blood sending his beast wild within him.
He felt her tense around him- her muscles locking around his shaft as he powered into her and she cried out over and over again as she came undone- the hard clenching of her muscles against his shaft felt like a lovers mouth sucking him hard and fast and had him growling with pleasure, dark curses leaving his lips as he continued to thrust within her again and again until she was caught back up in that spiral towards another release.
Fay’s whole body rocked with the power of each thrust inside her- the pleasure that was still pulsing through her body from head to toe, fighting the new build that was escalating deep within and his name escaped her lips on a cry for more.
In a heartbeat she felt her world shift around her as he lifted and turned her in one swift movement- the loss of his hard shaft within her making her cry out her need as she felt the earth beneath her knees and hands- he slammed back into her from behind- taking her hard and deep, a wonderful ferocity that snatched any thought but the feel of her mate within her from her mind.
His fingers dug into her hips through the pooled fabric of her skirt as his hips hit her backside over and over- the rock hard length taking her to the hilt again and again as she clawed her fingers into the earth- the pain and pleasure jolting her to a breath taking climax as she dropped to her elbows with the sheer power of the waves of pure hot pleasure that swept through her body and she heard him roar as the release hit him with such a force that threw his head back- he buried himself deep into her and exploded within her depths- rocking his hips back to thrust deep again, spilling his seed into her over and over with the spasms of her muscles milking him- the sheer physical pleasure keeping him rock solid inside her and still he didn’t stop- the primal fire that burned within him for her keeping him hard as he moved within the tight clenching walls.
Fay felt his body lean over hers- his arm locked her against his
chest- his hand palmed her breast, his other hand seeking the nub that had her clenching her muscles around his thrusts as he moved punishingly erotic circles over the swollen flesh- stroking into her with deep thrusts.
She couldn’t have wanted him more than she did at that moment- his body dominating hers- his sheer strength and power claiming her and she gladly submitted to her mate- the whimpers rolled from her throat as his fingers fisted the hair at the nape of her neck- bringing her head to the side so his mouth could cover the heady beat of her pulse.
She felt the sharpness of his fangs against her neck and cried out for him to bite- needing the completion as much as he did and when he sank down into her flesh- claiming her- marking her with his bite she felt the orgasm rip through her body- unlike anything that had gone before it took her whole- mind body and soul she felt the waves of pure plasma shot through her- unstoppable as he continued to thrust inside her.
A torrent of ferociously powerful spasms rocked through her body as she cried out over and over again- her body held suspended in pure erotic bliss that was unending- mindful of his own body tensing- his muscles contracting around her as he released his fangs and threw his head back with a roar of completion as he thrust deep, burying himself within his mate and exploding his seed deep within her- over and over until he thought it would never end- his body finally spent as he collapsed sated- still inside her he brought them both down on their sides on the earth- his arms locked around her possessively and in protection of his love.
Fay didn’t know how long they laid there together- bodies as one- hearts still racing, fighting to draw breath as the aftershocks rippled through them- Adam’s hand stroking her bare arm was the first thing that brought her to awareness of where they were- what they had done and she lifted her cheek from the pillow of his arm and brushed her cheek against his skin.
“Tell me I didn’t hurt you-“ Adam voice was still husky, but he was breathless and half whispering in the near silence of the woods.
