The Pull

by Amber Lynn

  He lifted his head so I could look into his eyes while he continued feasting on me. Seeing his gold eyes sent fluid flowing through my lower regions to ease the assault my body knew was coming.

  He detached from my breast long enough to lift up so he could tear my pants and underwear into pieces, exposing my entire body. He was too busy serving as a blanket to see what he’d uncovered.

  I didn’t mind him not looking at me. There was nothing I was ashamed of, but I wanted him focused on the task. He proved he had a singular mission when he grabbed both of my arms, put them above my head and thrust directly into me hard enough that my head rammed into the wall.

  He quickly put a pillow behind my head as he pulled out and rammed back in. A little brain damage was fine by me if the rest of my body got to experience the instant orgasm rushing through me upon his entry.

  I was too busy dealing with my toes curling up and screaming to care about anything else. My body convulsed around Jack and I was surprised he was able to continue moving in and out. He managed just fine and the high I was feeling continued to roll as he did.

  “Since you probably still know very little about werewolves, I’m guessing you haven’t been clued in on our stamina. This is going to take at least an hour, so rest assured you’re not going to have any trouble sleeping tonight.”

  I didn’t know how he could talk, let alone claim he was going to be able to keep it up for an hour. I tilted my head back on my remaining pillow as I continued to counter his thrusts with my own. Whether I was worn out from the bliss I was feeling or not, I wasn’t going to let him do all the work.

  Time was a bit irrelevant in the moment, so I didn’t know how long we kept at it that way before he pulled out of me. I almost felt like crying from the loss of fullness. While we were busy with the action, he seemed to get larger inside of me.

  I was about to say something in the split second that neither of us moved, but he managed to flip me over before I could. He put an arm underneath me and lifted my butt into the air, plunging back inside of me as he did.

  The new position drove him deeper into me, causing me to groan and scream into the pillow I stuffed my face into. He was going to rip me in two, I just knew it, and it turned me on even more.

  As he continued his thrashing, he started licking my left shoulder. I was so sweaty, it was probably nothing but salt. As long as we’d remained in missionary position, his mouth had been busy on my breasts, neck and mouth, so I didn’t think anything of him continuing to keep his mouth occupied.

  I reconsidered not asking what he was doing when his fangs ripped into my flesh a few minutes later. At the same time, I felt him grow inside of me to the point he couldn’t move anymore and liquid started pouring into me. It was hot against my insides as it splashed multiple times.

  Through the pain of the bite and the expansion of my body beyond its limits, I exploded in pleasure. It was unlike anything I’d ever felt, including the orgasm I had when Jack started. I briefly thought about making sure the neighbors couldn’t hear me scream, but I couldn’t focus on my powers long enough to make it happen.

  My body continued to convulse when Jack lifted his head to remove his teeth from my back. It didn’t feel like he was quite done pumping into me, and I was fairly certain he couldn’t pull out of me in his current shape.

  “What did you do to me?” I asked as I tried to catch my breath and form coherent thoughts.

  He collapsed down on my body and I took comfort in his labored breaths. If he wasn’t at least winded, I was going to be embarrassed that my body was a pile of mush.

  “Everything I could to prove to you that I love you. If you were a wolf, we would’ve become permanently bonded together like Nikki and Vik. You aren’t a wolf, so you can’t wear my mark, but by going through the same motions, I’m committing to you that I will love and possess only you this way until the day I die.”

  Like everything else he’d said to me, I couldn’t detect any lies. I wasn’t sure if that meant he was telling the truth, or if he was really good at lying.

  “I bet you tell all the girls that.”

  I moved my muscles to try to see if there was any hope of pushing him out, but he was thoroughly stuck inside of me. He’d definitely been right about wearing me out enough that I wouldn’t have trouble sleeping. I was fairly certain I wasn’t going to be able to move for a few hours.

  “If I didn’t need to regain a little strength, I’d bite you again. I might do it again just for fun.”

  I groaned. Any pain had subsided, but my body felt battered and bruised.

  “Okay, so you aren’t in the mood for jokes. Is there any chance you’ll eventually soften?”

  Jack rolled us so we were spooned together on our sides. It took his weight off of me and was a little more comfortable. While my brain was still conscious, I healed whatever damage had been done to my back.

  “I imagine so. I can’t say I’ve ever tried to get someone pregnant before, so I don’t know exactly when it softens.”

  “Are you saying you can have sex without trying to get the woman pregnant or that you’ve never had sex? If it’s the latter, I don’t believe you.”

  “I’m not going to admit either one of those right now. Do you think you can sleep like this? I’ve been told that I’ve been a little off at work, and I’d really like to try to get a full night’s sleep.”

  “Is it weird that I feel I could do anything as long as your arms are around me? I’ve never felt that way about anyone else, and it seems crazy, like you have a spell on me.”

  “You put a spell on me first. Let’s get some sleep and see how you feel about things in the morning. Maybe things will all finally make sense for us.”

  I didn’t believe that was possible, but I closed my eyes and tried to relax. Jack’s hand on the arm holding me close to him settled in on my stomach. I didn’t get my hopes up, but I wanted to find that an even bigger connection with Jack existed.

  Chapter Seventeen

  I woke up with a naked body curled around me. I didn’t remember Jack losing his clothes, or the last time I felt that much skin touching my body.

  My alarm hadn’t gone off, but the small butterfly kisses on my neck were just as good. As close as his body was, I could tell he was as happy as I was to wake up in the same bed. Feeling that, I was surprised he wasn’t inside of me.

  “What time is it?”

  “Still early. After I got out of my clothes, I slept so unbelievably well that six hours felt like days. How about you?”

  “I’m still waking up. I’ll let you know in a few minutes.”

  I didn’t need to think about it. I felt good, and he’d been right that the last time I actually had a decent night sleep was when he’d served as my pillow.

  “What time do you have to be to work? Do we have time to take a shower and have some breakfast?”

  “If you think I’m going to work with a crust of salt on my skin, you are greatly mistaken. I don’t think we have time to deal with your stamina if you had some kind of encore of last night in mind.”

  “I don’t mind you walking around with my scent on every square inch of your body. It might keep unwanted visitors away.”

  His hand was still on my stomach and I moved my left hand to join his. After having him so close for hours, the usual tingles between us just felt natural to me.

  “When do you think we’ll know?”

  “I don’t know. Nikki has known pretty quickly, but things might be different for us. Are you hoping for a boy or a girl? I had a dream we had a boy.”

  “I bet he had your eyes,” I said as I rolled over so I could look at those eyes.

  Jack leaned down and kissed me, keeping his face close to me.

  “But he had your laugh. I haven’t heard it often, but it’s engrained in my head from the few times I have.”

  “You really do think the five kids will be ours?”

  I was trying to take on the positive thinking leads to positi
ve things idea. It had never worked for me before, but I was really hoping I could pull it off. I was happy with Jack near me, and after being miserable for a month, I wanted to stay happy as long as I could.

  “I’m hoping eventually the number will grow. If it can go from zero to five within a day, maybe it will go even higher.”

  “I’d have to retire in order to make your little army. How are we going to make this work, Jack?”

  He played with a strand of my hair while he thought briefly about his answer.

  “I assume you mean our relationship and not the logistics of having a ton of kids. We had this general conversation about a month ago. I think we simplify anything I said back then and take it a day at a time. It’d probably be best if you start by taking another look at your past, so you don’t feel like you’re betraying your family.”

  “What if what I find only makes it harder than it already is for me? I know it didn’t look like things were that difficult last night, but there is a part of my head that’s still trying to figure out why the pull between us is stronger than the anger.”

  A little bit of sadness reflected in his eyes. It hurt him that I doubted there was anything that would make the past right.

  “Have you even tried looking back? If not because I asked you to, because you could get to know more about who your mother was. Most people who never had a chance to meet a relative don’t get that.”

  “I did try. I don’t know how Selina helped me focus before, but I haven't been able to recreate it on my own, which is why I didn’t admit it sooner. I feel like I’m supposed to be able to do stuff like that with the power I feel inside of me, but I can’t.”

  Jack was excited to hear that, and I didn’t blame him. I hadn’t tried the very first day, but as I lost more sleep, I tried to follow his advice and go back to see what he thought I’d missed.

  “Would you be up for trying it again with Selina? Obviously it wouldn’t be for a few days, because I have other plans for you, but I’m sure she’d be okay with helping.”

  “Maybe it’s best if I don’t know. Like I said, what if I find something that makes it harder for us? If I kick you out again, there’s no telling when I’ll let you back in, and our sleeping habits now seem to depend on being close to each other.”

  He slowly nodded after thinking about it for a second. “Well, if you want to get technical, you didn’t let me in last night, but I see what you’re saying. Are you sure we don’t have time for an encore?”

  He leaned in and initiated a more thorough morning kiss. My body liked the idea of going a second round, but I didn’t have time to take the nap I was sure it would require. When the kiss was over it took a second for me to catch my breath.

  “I have to leave something to look forward to at the end of the day. It’s going to be a long one at work, and thinking about you and what I want you to do to my body when I get home is probably all that’s going to get me through the day.”

  “So many ideas instantly pop in my mind when you say something like that. How are you feeling today? I saw that you healed the bite, but I was pretty rough on your whole body.”

  I had no doubt that if he’d done the same thing with a human, she’d have been covered with bruises from head to toe. His hand prints would’ve probably been imprinted on her hips for weeks.

  “I feel amazing this morning, other than really needing a shower. Are you ready to get up?”

  “I don’t ever want to leave this bed, but I suppose spending more time studying your naked body a little closer doesn’t sound like a horrible idea.”

  I thought he’d find a way to keep us in the bed a little longer, but he crawled out, dragging me with him. At arm’s length, I was able to get my first view of the full package that made up Jack. I was crazy to want to do anything other than stay in bed with his body wrapped around me.

  He paused for a second so we could take in each other before moving on with the day. Since he’d woken up before me, I was fairly certain he’d already done some perusing, but he hadn’t even taken his clothes off when the explosion of us coming together had happened, so everything was brand new for me.

  His tanned skin was the color of caramel, and I wanted to bite into it. I’d been able to feel how muscular he was as he turned me into a slave of his way of loving, but seeing the perfect ridges of the muscles that lined his stomach was a bit of a sensory overload.

  My eyes drank him in, my mouth salivated as it thought about my tongue running over his skin and an overwhelming scent of earth rolled over me as I associated everything I felt with that smell. If I was ever in a forest right after a rain, I was going to instantly melt into a puddle remembering the way he made me feel.

  “Hey, if you keep looking at me like that, this shower is going to end up being a fun game of slip and slide.”

  “Is there any chance the word quickie is in your dictionary?”

  “My definition is probably a little skewed, but we could give it a try. The issue we run into is me locking up inside of you. It took twenty minutes for the swelling to go down last night.”

  We hadn’t made it out of the room yet, so I glanced back at the alarm clock next to my bed. It was still thirty minutes before the time it’d originally been set to go off.

  “And there’s no way you can keep from swelling?”

  “Sure there is, but until you’re pregnant, you’re going to feel me lock up inside of you every time.”

  “You don’t worry about wining and dining a woman, do you? Was there ever a chance things between us would go slow?”

  “After we met, I don’t think so. The pull to you only gets stronger as the days go by. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to stay away as long as I did? Nikki literally tried to tie me up one day to keep me from following you around.”

  “Abbie stopped coming over because I was never exactly in the mood for company. All I could think about was the pain in my chest. Part of it was learning about my family, but kicking you out only added to that pain.”

  “Let’s see if we can make up for lost time. Which way to the bathroom?”

  I needed to get used to the quickness Jack pulled out of nowhere. I was standing under my own power one millisecond, and the next he had me in his arms, with our fronts facing each other. He only needed to slide me down a couple of inches and our bodies would be connected.

  “Out the door and on the right of the hallway. Try to get us in the shower before you start.”

  Evidently I gave up caring whether he was able to successfully pull off a quickie. The tip of him wasn’t physically touching me, but I felt like I was on the receiving end of a heat-seeking missile searching for its target.

  He made it into the shower, got the water turned on to a temperature we could both live with, and then slid home. The water took away a little of the friction, but it didn’t change the fact that the second he was inside of me a nuclear bomb ignited in my body.

  Time slipped away as he kept up a frantic pace. My back was to the shower, and the water falling down on me made me think of what it would be like to be in a waterfall. Not only were there numerous positions I wanted to try out with Jack, there were also locations I thought would be fun.

  The pressure of him pushing inside of me increased, and I knew things were drawing to an end. Not wanting to miss a prime opportunity, I quickly forced my teeth to sharpen a little and bit down on his left shoulder. I liked that my magic could make me a little like him.

  There was something about the act when he’d done it the night before that I felt needed repeated. I couldn’t bite him in the same spot, but the effect was pretty spectacular when I tasted the first drop of his blood in my mouth.

  He belted out a string of expletives and convulsed inside of me. My screams were muffled by his shoulder, it was his shouts alone that shook the house.

  It took me a second to realize that the shaking continued even after he stopped yelling and worked to catch his breath. Hearing returned to my ears and
I heard the pounding on the bathroom door, along with Abbie’s voice.

  “Kennedy, just tell me if someone is in there killing you. It’s a little difficult to gauge out here and I don’t want to open the door and find you in a compromising position. We’re friends and all, but there are some things I don’t want to see.”

  I looked through the glass shower door to the closed door to the bathroom. Jack’s head leaned against my forehead as he took deep breaths, trying to make them a little more regular. I released his shoulder and licked my lips.

  The taste of his blood was surprisingly sweet on my lips. I didn’t have plans on becoming a vampire, but I wouldn’t be against biting him from time to time.

  “You closed the door?”

  I’d been so obsessed with what I knew was going to happen in the shower that I didn’t register any other events after getting to the bathroom.

  “Okay. I’m currently lucky to know where I am. Tell her to wait downstairs and you’ll be down in a little bit.”

  According to his calculations, it was going to be a half an hour before we were out of the shower and dressed. I wasn’t sure I wanted Abbie hanging out while we waited things out.

  “I’m alive and there isn’t a current threat of my imminent death. If you want to wait to verify it with your own eyes, it may be a little while, but you can make yourself at home downstairs.”

  “Do a get a hint of who’s in there with you? You guys are whispering, and it’s a little hard to tell from the screaming and endless curses who deserves the hearty good job I have in store for him.”

  “Let’s keep the mystery going a little longer. We’ll be down in thirty minutes, so if you want to have some breakfast and tea, knock yourself out.”

  Abbie hesitated for a second, but walked away. I sighed and looked down at Jack, who had an evil grin spread across his face.

  “You sure you don’t want me to sneak out a window, so she doesn’t scold you for how crazy it is to hook up with a werewolf?”
