Her head dropped back against the cabinet behind her. Xander filled her completely, even as she stretched to fit him. She loved how he felt inside her, loved the friction of his size. He moved faster until she mewled with delight.
Stella was putty in Xander’s hands. She moaned when his thumb stroked her swollen nub and let the orgasm take her. Her back arched to push herself further down his cock. She unraveled like a ribbon, and lost herself in the feeling.
“The couch,” she gasped when she could speak again.
His hands cupped her ass to hold her close. Still entangled, he walked them to the living room before setting her down. With her preference met, it was only fair he was allowed to pick the next position. He set her down and turned her around so she was leaning against the back of the couch.
She arched her back to present herself to him, and grinned at the groan that escaped his lips. He left his pants fall to the ground, and kicked them away. His hands kneaded her cheeks and he eyed her up and down before settling himself between her thighs again.
Stella almost came right away. The position let her take more of him than on the counter. Every inch eased into her and she stretched to fit him. She matched his rhythm and pushed back when he didn’t thrust fast enough for her tastes.
Xander tried to keep quiet, but Stella knew he loved watching her enjoy him. She tucked her face on an arm and looked back at him. Her eyes were half closed with the pleasure, and she felt her face flush. Her lip caught her teeth again when he moaned.
Xander pumped hard enough to make her step forward. He pushed until she was leaning over the back and supporting herself with her arms. He shoved a hand between her and the couch, and let his palm rub against her. Each thrust pushed his palm into her clit and Stella groaned. Electric zings shot through her body at every touch.
“I’m going to come again,” Stella whispered. She didn’t think she could speak any louder without it turning into an incoherent squeal.
“Good,” Xander told her.
His other hand moved to her breast and squeezed, sending her over the edge. Stella’s vision blackened at the edges and all her muscles contracted for him.
Xander eased his motions again, letting her wallow in the feeling. But he was still rock hard and inside her. At a twitch, her body responded all over again. Her nipples almost ached in their peaks.
“Bedroom,” Xander growled. He wanted to clear away his rival as much as she did.
He stepped back long enough to scoop her up in his arms. She loved the way his muscles rippled when he moved. She leaned forward and planted kisses on his neck, reveling in the smell of earth and rain and him. She wanted to cover herself in that smell.
He plopped her down on the bed, and followed after. His mouth crashed down on hers like an avalanche and she opened her legs to him. While his tongue danced with hers, he pushed into her wet folds once more.
Stella wrapped her ankles around Xander’s back again and opened herself wide to him. He thrust into her while his mouth moved to her breast. His teeth grazed over her stiff nipple. Stella legs shivered. She was so close, and Xander’s own tremblings let her know he was there with her. They raced each other to the finish.
One strangled cry echoed the other, and Stella lurched upward into Xander’s chest. She fell back at his pressure, and he laid against her. She didn’t feel suffocated or pinned by his weight; he felt perfect.
“Xander,” she murmured.
“I want our wolves to run together forever,” he whispered back.
After
Stella woke the next morning in Xander’s arms. She knew it was the right place, and she didn’t want to leave. The growling in her stomach, however, insisted that she eat something. She couldn’t remember the last meal she had. Was it really spiked coffee with Tiana?
She let Xander sleep. She wanted to surprise him with breakfast in bed. She giggled to herself at the idea of being a perfect little housemate to him. She suspected she would move into his home, now.
She slipped out of the bedroom and pulled on the pants and shirt strewn in a path to the kitchen. She hadn’t reached the threshold before Xander emerged from the bedroom. She eyed him appreciatively as he tugged his pants from the previous night back on.
Instead of donning his shirt again, Xander wrapped arms around her waist and nuzzled at her neck. “Morning.”
She twisted in his grip and kissed his cheek. “Morning back.” At a stomach grumble, she wiggled out of his arms. “Breakfast?” She asked.
“Stella.” He urged her to face him.
When she turned, she found Xander on one knee and a small box in his hands. The ring was a shiny moonstone set in silver, with silver loops worked around the stone. She doubted she’d seen a more beautiful and delicate ring.
“Stella, I knew I wanted you to be in my life from the first time you shifted during the full moon and ran with the pack. You’re the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met, in human and wolf form. I’ve been waiting for you to accept your wolf from the beginning,” he started. “I know I come with more strings attached than the average man, and I didn’t want to pressure you into a role you weren’t ready to take on. I think you’re ready now. I want you to be my mate, my wife, my love.”
Stella forced her hands away from her open mouth. His proposal was simple and heartfelt. She brushed away a tear. She nodded once, then again. Her throat was tight with emotion. “I’m yours, wolf and all,” she answered.
The ring slipped onto her finger without any trouble. She wondered how he’d gotten the size correct, but didn’t question. She wanted to bask in the happiness a moment longer, but when she looked into Xander’s eyes she knew the moment would last forever.
