"Ohhh! Fuck." Luke held his face up to the ceiling and groaned out in pleasure. He slowed his pace as if to delay his climax. In and out. Deep, long, slow, calculated thrusts…in and out. His breathing slowed. He pulled all the way out to the tip and then plunged back in, burying himself balls deep within her.
The surface of Cassie's skin was peppered in sweat. He was drenched in sweat. His sweat and hers mixed together, literally creating the imbalance he talked about. She could almost feel it as his essence worked it's way through her bloodstream, controlling every sense, making her crave every last thrust in her pussy, every last lick against her skin.
She was coming again. Her body pulsated with carnal rapture. She cried his name as she came. Her sex clenched and creamed, coating his rod and his balls with her slick juices.
He came undone too. His manly groans and growls were the sexiest thing she'd ever heard during sex. When his semen coated her canal she felt a hot surge of energy spiraling through her giving her one last jolt of sexual pleasure.
When he removed his cock, she was still high from their session of blazing hot sex. He lifted her up with her legs still wrapped around him and took her to the biggest couch where he laid out beside her.
"That was out of this world," she breathed.
Luke grinned. "Ditto. It was actually the best sex I've ever had."
"It was the best for me too. Compared to what you just did to me, I can't even say that I've done anything like this before." Cassie smiled. "Man, if I knew you were going to fuck me like that I would have jumped you on day one."
He laughed. "I like to keep a few secrets up my sleeve."
"Oh, don't I know it…wolf."
"Now that we understand each other…human, I'm just about ready for another round."
Sure enough, his cock was becoming rock hard against her belly.
"You're beginning to spoil me rotten," she said before lifting herself up over him. She straddled him and positioned her pussy on his cock.
"That's why I'm here for you, mate. To give you everything you need and desire," he replied.
He gripped her hips and assisted her with taking every last inch of him.
Once she was seated on him to the hilt, she knew she was in for another wild ride with her mountain wolf.
Chapter 20
"Scrambled or over-easy?” Cassie asked as she tossed a piece of butter in the cast iron skillet.
Luke looked up from his paperwork on the kitchen table. "Either way. I'll have it however you're having it. Four of them. I've gotta run up the road to meet the guy about your brother's contract when I'm done with breakfast. Wanna come?"
"Yes."
At that moment, the phone rang. Luke jumped up and checked the caller ID. "Speaking of the devil…"
"It's Neil?" she asked.
"Yup," Luke replied, and then answered the phone. "What's up, man? I've been trying to call you since yesterday. Ah…I see…did you at least get your cell phone replaced?…A storm rolled through last night so that probably wouldn't have been a good idea…so, uh…you think you're going to wait another day or two? Right….right…"
Cassie zoned out from the conversation and continued with breakfast. After barely eating supper last night due to their extracurricular activities, they had both worked up an appetite.
She cracked four eggs into a bowl and then two for herself. The sausages were already sizzling on the grill and she gave them another toss in the pan over the fire.
Luke slipped beside her still chatting with Neil on the phone.
"Yeah, she's right here. You want to talk to her?"
Cassie swallowed. She was glad to hear from her brother after not seeing him for a few days, but she wasn't ready to tell him how much had changed since he dropped her off on Luke's property.
"Hey Neil," she said into the phone.
"Hey yourself, kid. You okay up there?"
"Yeah, I'm doing just fine. We're just about to eat breakfast."
"You and Luke, you mean?" he asked.
"Who else?" Cassie asked.
"I'm glad you two are getting along. I suspect that's what kept you out of trouble. Luke says you haven't been giving him any smack, which is unheard of with your sassy-ass self."
"Maybe it's you I have an issue with," she joked. "How's the meeting going?"
"Oh, it went well. We've got another contract, so I'll be busy for the next six months."
Cassie passed Luke the bowl of stirred eggs and he poured it in the pan.
"Are you still in Maine?"
"I got back yesterday actually. I couldn't get out that way because of the storms rolling through here. I wish I could meet the roofing guy but Luke says you both have it under control."
"Yeah, Luke has everything under control. He’s great,“ she said, glancing up to smile at Luke who was tending to their eggs at the stove.
"So…um…I may not get out there tomorrow either. My schedule is all fucked up now. Are you sure you're doing okay?"
"Yeah, don't rush back. I'm perfectly fine."
"Hmm, last time we talked, you weren't too happy about staying in the mountains and now I can almost see you smiling through the phone. I know you, kid sis. You're happier than usual. Have you got good news or something?"
"I just love how peaceful it is out here, that's all. They haven't caught the bad guys yet so I guess you don't have to come pick me up anytime soon," she told him.
"And Luke? Don't you think he deserves a break? That guy has done so much for us. I'd hate to—"
"Everything's fine. Quit worrying," she said.
There was silence on the other end and then…
"I was just thinking about something Luke said a while a back." His voice was lowered as if he wanted to make sure Cassie was the only one who heard him. "Not sure what triggered the memory but I just wanted to make sure that nothing strange is going on or anything with him."
"You're just paranoid, brother. Everything is fine. I'm going to eat breakfast now. Do you want to talk back with Luke?"
"Uh…no…I'll call him back later."
"Alright then. Suit yourself. Bye."
"I'll drop by there as soon as I can. See you later, kid sis."
Luke took the phone from her and returned it to the cradle. "Your brother suspects something."
"Did you hear all that?" she asked, fishing out some plates for their food.
"I can't help it."
Cassie grinned. "Right. Wolves have excellent hearing."
"I'm going to tell him. About everything," Luke said. "It wasn't something I wanted to get into with him on the phone.
"I'll be with you when you do," Cassie said. "He gets a little agitated when I tell him I'm moving away, but we're not too far from Aspen Valley so he won't be able to use the long distance excuse anymore."
"Yeah, but that's not what I'm really worried about."
Cassie closed the distance between him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "What is it then? He has no problem with shifters. He knows better than that. We weren't raised that way."
"I know. It's just that I kept this a secret for so long. There's also the issue about how I've mated you when I was supposed to be looking after you."
"I'm an adult. We both consented. If he doesn't understand right away, he will eventually," she told him. "I don't want to leave here.”
"I know." He kissed her forehead. "I don't want you to leave me either."
"So, what are we worrying about? Let's have breakfast and then get to work."
Luke grinned, picked up their plates, and then gestured toward the kitchen table. "I'll take your lead."
Chapter 21
The following evening, Luke and Cassie had just finished dinner and was flipping through some local channels when a live broadcast began to air.
"Stop," Cassie instructed. "That's the station I work for. They're getting ready to report live."
She read the caption on the screen:
Reporting Live. Significant Break
throughs in a String of Tennessee and North Carolina Shifter Murders.
Luke pressed a button to increase the volume and they both slid to the edge of their seat in anticipation of what was being aired.
"This is Maxwell Graham reporting live here on the steps of the Tellevue County Courthouse. We're here today to bring you breaking news about the Tellevue police department's never-ending fight to find the criminals responsible for a string of shifter killings in Tennessee and North Carolina state. Some of the connected murders were even reported to have been committed as far south as Florida and as far north as West Virginia." Maxwell turned and gestured behind him at the Courthouse. "Not too long ago, the Mayor, Aspen Valley wolf pack's alpha and three other alphas from surrounding shifter packs met today to discuss the validity of dozens of anonymous tips received over the past several days. It turns out that many of our citizens want to see a stop to these senseless murders. One suspect, an Oliver Pentwood, was arrested earlier today for his involvement in the murder of Leonard Camp, a shifter of the Aspen Valley Wolf Pack. A resident of Aspen Valley reported that he had seen Oliver Pentwood loitering around the Westgate Apartments on the night that a local journalist received a note with a death threat. Pentwood's arrest has already led to two other suspects being taken in—a Daniel Fisher, who was previously fired from the Aspen Valley police department late last year, and an unnamed male who has ties to the now-defunct company Teddy Ammo and Sons. The sheriff reports that these individuals are connected to a crime ring and a notorious gang. He also states that more suspects are being questioned and more arrests will follow...Lindsay Moore, back to you…"
"They got him," Cassie whispered. "They're going to catch the other killers."
Luke breathed a sigh of relief. "That was fast. I'm so relieved that we can put a stop to this. No one else has to die."
"That was remarkably fast, which proves what can happen when every citizen comes together to make their neighborhoods safe."
"I haven't heard anything from the Alpha yet," Luke said. "It's likely that our work isn't done. He's not going to stop until he finds every last damn gang member involved."
"And he shouldn't. None of the Packs should stop fighting to take down every last one of them," she agreed.
Chapter 22
The moment Cassie heard the keys turning in the lock of the office cabin, she closed up her journal and met Luke in the foyer.
"Hey." She threw her arms around him.
"Hey yourself." He hugged her and then held out his arm, revealing some bags. "You've been in here working all day so I thought you could use something to eat. I brought you some lunch."
"Thank you." She took the bags from him and placed them on top of a file cabinet to the right of them. "We'll get to that soon. I'm not as hungry for food as I am hungry for you." She hooked her fingers into his belt loop and pulled him toward the sofa.
When she got there, she undid his belt, opened his fly, and then allowed his pants to hit the floor in a heap around his ankles.
"What have I done to you?" He grinned, shaking his head.
"Who said this was all your doing? Maybe this was me all along,” she teased.
She got on her knees on the floor and ran a hand over his heavy cock. The moment she wrapped her fingers around him, he hardened and lengthened within her grasp.
"Oh Cassie," he groaned, looking down at her as she stroked his now massive erection. She couldn't wait to make him growl and call out her name when he came to climax.
She slid her mouth over the bulbous cockhead, taking him inside her mouth greedily until he hit the back of her throat. There was still more of him to please, but she planned to take care of that. She ran her tongue along the full length of him, leaving no part of him un-licked. She made sure the entire shaft was wet and slippery, and then she used both hands to stroke him, making him lengthen and grow firmer. She squeezed his taut flesh on the downstroke and sucked him hard between her lips on the upstroke over and over again until his legs looked like they were going to give out from under him.
He was making all kinds of noises. His fingers were threaded so tightly through her hair that she thought he was going to pull her hair off as he directed her mouth up and down his turgid shaft. He held her head steady and throat fucked her until she couldn't hold her breath anymore, and only then did he allow her to let it pop out before plunging it to the back of her throat once again.
She slurped at his cockhead sloppily, letting her wet hands glide effortlessly along his rod—just the way he liked it.
"Oh Cassie. Fuck…that's it."
His cockhead seemed to swell at the back of her throat, causing her to gag on him. Before she could suck him to completion, he tore her mouth off him, turned her around, bent her over the desk, and ripped her frilly lace panties off of her. Some of the lace threads hung on for dear life, and the garment only got as far as mid-thigh.
After slapping her firmly on the ass one good time, he speared through her like a rocket. As he pounded her from behind, his balls slapped against the back of her thighs. He fucked her with so much vigor that her feet came up off the floor until eventually, she was propping herself on her toes. He plundered her so roughly that it took her breath away. She was too ravished to speak any words of endearment. All she could do was scream as he fucked her senseless.
He loved to wrap her long hair around his wrist, and he did just that, pulling her head upward to make her arch her back so that her ass was suspended mid-air and her pussy was exposed enough for him to drive thoroughly into.
Her orgasm came without warning and the feel of his hot semen pouring into her pussy caused the most mind-blowing sensation Cassie had ever experienced. They climaxed together and came down from the climax together.
They were so caught up in the aftermath of it all, that they didn't hear the doorknob turning…and they definitely didn't hear Neil Gray coming through the door.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON?"
All hell broke loose and there was nothing little petite Cassie could do as Neil came charging for Luke. Everything thing happened so quickly…
It was chaos. Luke tried to dodge Neil's punches without first punching the light right out of her brother. And it took her several tries to convince Neil to stop coming for Luke.
"I didn't want you to find out like this," Luke exclaimed, panting.
"Dude? Seriously. I left her here with you…Oh my God."
Neil paced the small space of the little foyer with Cassie still preventing them from coming at each other again.
"Neil, it's not what you think. I wanted this. We both wanted this. I know you're angry right now but let's calm down so we can explain to you how this happened."
"Explain right now. Because the way I see it, there is no reason why I shouldn't just beat his ass." Neil pointed to the desk where the dirty deed happened. "He was fucking you! I can't get it out of my head!"
"Neil…"
Neil rushed out of the door and onto the porch. "I'm gonna go. I'm going right now because if I don't I'm gonna kill him."
Luke came out on the porch and watched Neil leave. "Let him go. He needs to calm down.”
"Somebody needs to talk to him."
"We will. Just let him calm down.”
Neil jumped in his truck, backed out of the driveway, and drove off, leaving Cassie and Luke in the dust glancing out after him wondering where he was going and if he'd return.
Chapter 23
Cassie folded her hands together and placed them on the patio table as Luke and Neil talked about the mating bond and what it meant. Neil didn't look convinced, but she was glad that he'd finally come back and that he and Luke could sit down like two grown men to discuss what had happened while Neil was gone. They were outside on Luke's back porch talking over beers.
"I can understand about you not wanting me to know that you were a shifter and all that shit, but you're a good friend. I consider you a brother. Why couldn't you have just told me that you were int
o my sister?"
“I was wrong. I should have told you,” Luke replied.
"It happened so fast," Cassie replied. "I've respected Luke all this time. I developed an innocent crush on him after seeing him for the first time that evening at your graduation. Little did I know, that innocent crush wasn't just a crush. I know you think it's silly, but Luke and I are mated. You see the evidence right here on my neck."
"That looks like a hickey to me," Neil said. "You could be feeding me some bullshit so I won't kick his ass."
Cassie sighed. "If it helps, I pursued Luke. He tried to convince me to wait, but I wanted to have sex with him right away."
Neil scratched his head and pushed away from the chair. "Man, you two could’ve warned me. You were fucking and that's what I had to come back to see. I didn't want to see that. All you had to do was call and say…well hey, we're getting ready to smash."
Cassie rolled her eyes. "It wasn't going to be that easy, and you know it.
Neil held up his hands. "Well, is it any easier now?"
"You accepting us is going to take some time to get used to, I know, but I'm here to tell you that I'm not leaving Luke. I feel so at peace here, like I have a home finally. Every time he walks into a room all I want to do is see him smile and to please him. I remember when mom and dad were like that and I want that. I want that so badly."
Neil sighed. "I love you, sis, and you're right. But you're only partly right. If you feel this way about Luke, I accept it. What I have a hard time with is that you'll probably no longer need me. I'll no longer be the guy you call when you have a flat tire or when you manage to clog the drain and fuck up the plumbing system with all that hair of yours."
