Caleb's Woman
Page 13
“I never thought of it like that,” she murmured. Suddenly a terrible possibility crossed her mind. “What if Caleb doesn’t want to talk to me? I’ve been ignoring him for weeks.”
One corner of Trevor’s mouth tilted to form a half-smile. “He won’t turn you away.”
“You think so?”
“Let me put it like this, I never thought it was possible for anyone to love you more than your mother and me until I saw that look in Caleb’s eyes. Do me a favor and go put the poor guy out of his misery. He’s been moping around the office like a guy who looks likes he’s ready to end it all. Seth tells me Caleb has been doing a lot of baying at the moon lately.”
“It’s that simple, huh?”
“Do you love him?”
Sommer didn’t have to dwell on that question for even a second. “With all my heart.”
“Then it is that simple.” He gave her hands a gentle squeeze. A brief frown flitted across his lips.
“What’s wrong, Daddy?”
“You know, I’ve dreaded this moment from the day you showed interest in the opposite sex.
“Why?”
“Because I realized there’d come a time when another man would take my Princess away from me and your mom.”
Tears sprang to her eyes, her heart overflowing with love. “You and Mom could never lose me. I love you.” Sommer was glad she’d had this talk with her father. It was like an awakening. For the first time, she understood what it truly meant to be a part of the pack. She could finally appreciate better where her parents were coming from and why Caleb had done what he did. He’d only wanted to make her happy. How could she have been angry at him for that?
Sommer only hoped it wasn’t too late to tell Caleb exactly how she felt.

Caleb had never been more miserable in his life. He skulked back into his house through the sliding glass door he’d left slightly ajar before going for a run in the wood. Walking through the house on padded feet, he shook out his mane to rid himself of all the raindrops that had just started to fall before he came in.
Not even howling at the moon had given him the pleasure it normally did. Nothing seemed right without Sommer. Stretching his body lengthwise, he realigned his organs as his fur retreated into his skin and changed back to a light dusting of human hair along the contours of his body. His paws lengthened and spread out and his legs elongated. It only took a few minutes before he returned to first form.
His body slick with sweat, Caleb headed for the shower. As he stepped under the cool spray of the water, he resolved this would be the last night without Sommer. Even if he had to kick her damn door down, he would not allow her to shut him out any longer.
That talk with Trevor had put things into perspective. He and Sommer belonged together, and there would be times when he did things for her that she would simply have to accept. Yes, that’s what he’d do. He’d storm into her house and do whatever it took for her to listen to him, even if he had to screw her into submission.
As he washed, Caleb contemplated what he’d say to her and he wondered why he should wait until tomorrow. He should go over to her apartment now. She would be home by now, and if she wasn’t, damn if he wouldn’t go to her parent's house and then to her friends’. He’d find her by the time the night was over.
He was so deep in his thought that he was caught off guard when the shower curtain was pulled open. Under most circumstances, he would have heard an intruder. Caleb balled his fist ready to strike but was surprised to see a very naked Sommer step into the shower stall behind him. She must have used the key he’d given her weeks ago.
Wiping his eyes to make sure he wasn’t dreaming, he was lost for words. Unable to speak even if his life depended on it, he stood still as she stepped closer to him, stood on her toes and kissed his jawline. Then she began to rain kisses on his chest, making a downward trail, until she rested on her knees.
Caleb inhaled sharply as his cock came alive in her hand.
“Sommer,” he groaned.
“Don’t say anything, just enjoy,” she whispered with a smile, her eyes twinkling with the love he thought he’d killed. But there it was, shining just for him.
She ran her tongue along his shaft and then circled the sensitive head of his cock, teasing and torturing him. Her warm breath against his skin was nearly more than he could take. The blood pounded in his ears and the coolness of the water raining on them did nothing to pacify the heat coursing through his body.
At her mere touch, he was driven to near insanity. When she wrapped her lips around his dick, he moaned her name. “Oh, Sommer. God, yes. I’ve missed you so much.” Grasping her head, he slowly pushed forward until the tip of his cock touched the back of her throat.
Sommer grasped his balls with one hand, fondling them, heightening the sensations flowing through his core. Two weeks was a long time to go without her and he wanted her right now. Caleb doubted he could hold on much longer. He thrust in and out of her mouth, fucking it. Her lips were so tight around his length and it felt like absolute heaven, but he wanted some pussy. Sommer’s.
With a growl, he released her head and pulled away. Quickly, Caleb turned off the shower and lifted Sommer off her knees into his arms. He made it to his bedroom within seconds.
When he tossed her onto the bed, he quickly fell on top of her, nudging her thighs apart. They gasped simultaneously as he slid into her hot cunt, so wet and ready for him.
“I missed this so much. I missed you, Sommer,” he groaned planting his hands on either side of her head and bracing himself on his forearms. He pumped and pushed into her with a savageness of a man denied for too long.
Sommer wiggled and writhed beneath him. “I love you, I love you, I love you.” she chanted and she lifted her hips, meeting each of his thrusts with her own.
They moved, ground and strained together, their bodies working in perfect synchronization. When her pussy muscles clenched around his cock, a powerful explosion tore through his body. Caleb shot his seed deep within her channel.
Sommer screamed her release, opening her arms wide as he collapsed on top of her. She shuddered beneath him, whimpering and moaning with her apparent pleasure.
Caleb placed kisses on her face, lips, and neck, unable to believe she was here in his arms, and back in his bed.
Finally, when his breathing became normal once again, he captured her face between his palms and kissed her hungrily on the mouth. “You came to me,” he sighed, his heart filled with joy.
“I…I’m sorry, Caleb. I know you did what you did to make me happy. And I appreciate what you’ve done. I overreacted and should have been appreciative instead of giving you a hard time. I’ll never be so stupid or jeopardize your love for me again.”
“That isn’t possible because I could never stop loving you. Sommer, one of the reasons why I love you is your fierce independence and your strong will, but, honey, don’t push me away again. I want to share in your life, not be an observer on the outside looking in.”
She brushed the side of his face with her hand. “I promise I won’t. I love and appreciate you and I’m glad you helped me to become a success. I can’t wait to be your mate. Nothing will make me happier.”
Caleb could barely believe his good fortune. Words couldn’t adequately express how deeply he felt for Sommer. Finally, he had the woman he loved right where he wanted her, in his arms. “Nor can I.”
Uncertainty crossed her lovely face for a brief moment. “Are you worried about what the rest of the pack will say? You might be challenged for your position because of choosing me as your mate.”
“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. But like I said, you’re more important to me than being the next Alpha. Anyway, my parents adore you and your parents have given me their blessing. There are fewer people who will take issue with us together than you think, but if we do meet opposition, it’s a bridge we’ll cross when we get there. Let’s not borrow trouble from tomorrow. Instead, tell me how muc
h you love me.”
“I do, with all my heart. I can’t wait for the rest of our lives.” Sommer snuggled beneath him, a large smile on her face. “I know we’re going to have a wonderful life.”
Caleb grinned. “As long as you’re by my side, how could it not be?”
“As long as we have each other, you mean. Anyway, there’s another reason why we’re going to be happy.”
He lifted a brow. “Why is that?”
She gave him a knowing smile. “Because it was it was written in the stars.”
Caleb wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, but it sounded wonderful.
