“So full, Dre…” she managed to pant out between her shallow breaths.
“I’m not even in yet, babe.” The fucking term just the tip totally applied here, and we were both becoming undone by that alone. I slid in a bit further, feeling a bit of resistance as I did. I tucked my head in close to hers, whispering into her ear, “this is the part that might hurt, babe. I’m so sorry…” I was planning on easing in, trying to give her body time to adjust to me. My sweet, sweet girl had other plans though. She locked her legs around my ass and tugged me to her hard, pulling me toward her while pushing me in deep with one thrust.
“Holy fucking hell,” she hissed out as a flash of pain crossed her previously blissed out features. I traced my fingers over the crease in her brow, smoothing it, and gentling her as I waited for her to breath through whatever she was experiencing right now. “Dre,” she moaned before leaning in and sucking my bottom lip into her mouth. “Please, honey.” Her hips rocked forward then, and I didn’t hesitate in pushing in the last little bit until I bottomed out inside her, completely enveloped in her sweet heat.
“You are heaven,” I managed to choke out as I pulled out a bit before rocking back into her. “So. Fucking. Good.”
“Her lips were on my neck now, sucking, nibbling, driving me fucking insane as I got lost in her. Hands roamed everywhere. Hers. Mine. Soft flesh. Wet heat. “Never enough, babe. There can never be enough of this.” Her answering moan was all I needed to hear to know I wouldn’t last much longer. Pushing one hand between us to manipulate her clit, I sent her pulsing into overdrive as I leaned in to scent her, running my nose from shoulder to ear, then repeating the process with my tongue, licking the salty sheen of sweat from that entire expanse of her skin. I nibble my way up the next time all while pumping in and out of her, stimulating her clit, and driving her to the brink of her first sex-induced orgasm. The moment I felt her start to give way I picked up the pace, rocking into her harder, faster. “MINE!” The growl came just before I clamped my teeth over the curve between her neck and shoulder, as soon as I felt her pulsing around my cock I bit down. Her answering scream of, “Yours, always,” did me in, and that was before I felt her teeth clamp down on my shoulder. I don’t know if it was instinct, or what, but her bite as she pulsed around my own throbbing cock sent me tipping over the edge and exploding inside of her.

I don’t know what made me bite down on Dre’s shoulder, but when I did and a hot pop of coppery liquid flowed into my mouth I wasn’t even the least bit grossed out like I’d dreaded I would be when he first mentioned that biting would be a part of this whole process. His teeth sinking into my neck didn’t hurt either, if anything it was just the opposite. My orgasm rocked through me in a series of clamping muscles, starburst behind my eyes, and an explosion of feeling that seemed to burst forth from the both of us and blast through the entire house – hell, maybe the entire world. Surely, everyone within a 50-mile vicinity had to feel that. I was certain I heard a distant howling, but it was lost in a white-hot noise that drowned out all other sound. Heat continued to pulse into me with each gentle rock of his hips as we came down from the most extraordinary experience of my life.
“Dre,” I whispered his name, a prayer on my lips that we’d never lose this feeling. He rolled us, while keeping us locked together. His lips found the crown of my head and planted a kiss there. “My sweet girl. Mine.” Those gruff words lulled me into the sweetest dreams I’ve ever had.
Chapter Fourteen
~*~ DRE ~*~
I don’t know what I had been expecting to find when I finally climbed out of bed, but an empty house wasn’t it. I had a quick moment of panic when I walked into the kitchen to grab some water for Izzy and didn’t see her sister anywhere. I could hear the shuffling of paws outside of the house once I focused. Security was still in place, so that was something. “Where are Liz and Garrett?” I asked the question out loud, waiting for a response, because I wasn’t dumb enough to think the assholes on duty outside weren’t listening to every day thing going on in my house.
The tingle of a shift in the air crept down my spine before I got my answer. “Garrett took her to the store to spare her the audio porn track coming from your room.” Sammy’s quick response came on the heels of Vance’s laughter.
“Keep it up assholes, and I’ll make sure there’s an audience when you find your Kindred.” My stern proclamation didn’t match the smirk on my face. I couldn’t blame them for listening in. Hell, it would have been impossible to tune us out. Izzy may have been a virgin, but she acclimated quickly. I wasn’t sure if it was the bonding and claiming process that made it so, but whatever it was, I was ecstatic that I didn’t have to hold back too much with her. I also felt whole for the first time in my life. Before I first scented her three years ago, I never understood what was missing in my life. There was only this theory of the fabled Kindred mate out there, but it was always abstract. I never knew true wanting until I lost her before I found her. Now, I knew true fulfillment for the first time ever. Even obtaining the Alpha power shift from my father when he stepped down and turned things over to me didn’t feel as good as knowing my mate lie in the other room waiting for me to return.
“Boss man, I don’t know what just happened, but your claiming of your mate forced the shift on us. Never heard of that happening before,” Sammy added nervously.
“Alpha power,” I explained, even though I wasn’t certain that was why. “Sorry, but not sorry if you know what I mean,” I added with a chuckle so the tension I’d heard in his voice would ease.
“Gotcha,” he proclaimed before another tingle ran down my spine and I turned blinking out of my thoughts to see Izzy standing there wearing nothing but the shirt I had on earlier tonight. Seeing her in my clothes twisted my insides a little tighter. Smelling our combined scents, now intermingled, was a heady experience. I pulled her to me before she could object, although from the look on her face my manhandling of her was entirely welcome.
“Hey, you were taking so long I figured I’d come get the water myself before I withered away and died of thirst.” I could hear the guys outside chuckling at her comment.
“Sorry, babe. I was just trying to figure out where Liz and Garrett got off to.”
“If they’re smart, they’re getting off on each other. The sexual tension between those two is just ridiculous.”
I threw a half-cocked smile her way before nipping at the sensitive spot on her neck just below her ear. “Agreed, but I think your sister is smarter than that.” I tugged on the t-shirt that draped off her body, exposing part of her shoulder. Seeing my bite there on her neck elicited a groan from me as my dick started hardening in my hastily thrown on jeans. It was probably a good thing I hadn’t bothered fastening them just yet. I grabbed Izzy by the waist and picked her up, intending to set her down on the counter, and go to town with her again, forgetting about anything we’d been talking about until she responded.
“I don’t know about that, but she may be more cautious now that she knows about the Kindred Mate deal. Liz has never really been held back by social expectations. She does what feels good and goes with the flow. I think Garrett has a lot of that in him too, which is why I thought they’d hit it off really well when I first met him.”
“Yeah, still say it’s a damn shame that they didn’t feel the pull.” I ran my fingers up her thighs, mesmerized by the feel of her warm, silky skin beneath my fingertips.
“That has to be for a reason. Maybe, they’re too much alike for it to work.”
It took all of my effort to focus on the conversation we were having when my fingers found a patch of wetness dripping down her thigh. “Holy fuck,” I hissed out loud before she swatted my hand away.
“Water first, I’m dying here.” Izzy’s giggle at my slow response brought me back to the conversation, and I turned to pour the water she’d asked for. I allowed my mind to drift to Garrett and Liz in order to distract myself from crawling once more
into Izzy’s sweet fucking heat. I was disappointed for my friend, because I could see the interest there, and also for my mate, because I wanted her sister to be able to stay within our pack. I hated the thought of twin sisters being separated by circumstances, especially if Liz ended up being Kindred for someone in a pack that we didn’t get along with. That would make things difficult, for certain. I was trying really hard to set those kinds of ideas aside for now, and not try to borrow trouble for the future where it wasn’t necessary.
“Wow, is it really seven already?” I glanced at the clock on my oven then. She was right, we had apparently been lost in each other for damn near three hours. It seemed like eternity, and only one blissful moment all at once. Of course, we did both nod off for a little bit too, so that three hours included our catnap.
Her small hand smacked down on the taut muscles of my chest as she laughed out, “damn no wonder I feel the way I do.” Then she managed a rather lengthy yawn as I just laughed at her. “Don’t laugh at me.” Izzy gave me a look then, “you know it was,” she peeked over her shoulder trying to see if anyone was in listening distance. I stopped her before she started talking about how she had been a virgin. Not that it was a bad thing, but I didn’t think she wanted the entire pack to know her business like that. My finger hovered over her kiss-swollen lips as I hissed out a “shh.”
Her eyes widened, realizing there were definitely people around who could hear us. The blush that stole across her cheeks was adorable. “They heard everything, didn’t they?” I just nodded as I closed the space between us, maneuvering myself between her legs. She immediately wrapped them around my waist as I planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“Don’t worry about it, babe. It was probably the best thing they’ve heard all month.” She punched me in my gut then, but she was at least laughing along now too. Then she wrapped her arms around me too, and the feeling of her body hugged so close to mine was intoxicating.
The front door opened and Garrett stood there with a shit-eating grin on his face before he spoke. “It’s about time you two came up for air, although you might want to throw some clothes on, because your family has come a-calling, darlin’.”
“Shit,” Iz yelped, and then jumped down from the counter, and hauled ass to our room to grab some of her own clothes. I did not want to see her out of my shirt, unless it was to get naked beneath me, but I suppose it was better than her being in nothing more than a long t-shirt while her family was here. As if summoned by the bad timing, Jackson stepped around Garrett, who had apparently been running interference for us. “Where is my other daughter, Dre?” He was eyeing me up suspiciously as he spoke.
“She went to change her clothes. Have a seat,” I indicated the couch with a tip of my head in that direction as I raked my hand down my still very bare chest. It took a minute for the fact that I was only dressed in a pair of jeans I’d slipped into on the way to grab water to sink in. They weren’t even buttoned up.
Jackson did not look happy. “This how you dress in a house where my daughters are staying?”
“Well, it’s how I dress when I just roll out of bed in the morning, so yeah, I guess so. Besides, Izzy is the only one here.”
“Not anymore,” Liz called from the door. She then had to go and make everything worse by cocking her head to the side, obviously checking me out, and wolf whistling at me. “Dang, my sister is one lucky bitch!”
“Liz!” Jackson hissed out. I could hear Izzy’s laughter from the other room, so she was obviously keyed into the conversation out here. Further evidence of that was the fact that she dropped a clean t-shirt in my hand as she came back out to the kitchen and started guzzling down water again.
The frown on Jackson’s face deepened further. “I came by, because I wasn’t able to make it yesterday like we discussed.” He looked at me pointedly then.
“Yeah, that talk is probably not necessary any longer. I’ll cover anything that’s left.”
“You did it, didn’t you? Claimed my daughter?” Jackson’s nostrils were flaring, as his attitude started to fly. I hadn’t been here to explain things to her yet, and you took her anyway?” Man, I was beginning to think losing his mate the way he did had imbalanced Jackson in some way. The other day he was adamant his daughter just get on with the claiming, to the point of disowning her if she didn’t. Now, he was upset that it happened? I couldn’t keep up with the swing in his moods.
“Dad!” Izzy yelled out to make sure she had his full attention. “I’m a 21 year old woman. I can do what I want with whomever I choose to do it with.” I growled at that, because she most certainly couldn’t. Not unless I was the only one she was choosing. She just grinned up at me momentarily, and patted my chest to placate me before continuing on. “Nothing happened that I didn’t ask for.” She turned her back to her dad for a minute, shoulders shaking a bit as she tried to contain her laughter while leaning into my chest for support.
“Yeah? If nothing happened why are you breaking down, crying over there, Iz?” Jackson asked, obviously interpreting things all wrong.
Izzy burst out laughing then. “I’m s-s-sorry,” she managed to gasp out. “It’s just really weird telling you that I asked him for crazy, mind-blowing sex, and then the biting.” She glanced over at me then, eyes alight with humor, and shiny with amused tears, as she bit down on her lower lip.
“Come here, crazy.” I tugged her still blushing, and laughing further into my arms.
“For fuck’s sake,” Jackson hissed out before continuing on with his complaints. “I can’t believe I’m having to sit here and listen to this shit coming from my own daughter.”
I just shrugged. Garrett and Liz were both equally amused as Jackson continued to sulk on my couch. “So what’s the plan now that you’ve secured your bond to one another?”
“What do you mean?” Iz asked, finally turning her head out away from my chest and toward the others in the room.
“I mean, are you staying here now? What are you planning on doing when your sister goes back to school to finish her degree?”
Izzy turned to look at me then, and I huffed out a frustrated sigh. “Jackson, you really don’t want to piss me off right now. Seriously, I respect that you’re the girls’ father, but I think you’re forgetting I’m Alpha here.” I let a little of my Alpha magic bleed out into the room. Everyone instantly reacted to the feeling of my energy washing over them. Jackson noticeably winced, but it seemed he was going to refuse to back down. “Okay, fine, you want the dirty details. I’ll give them all to you until you wish you could un-hear it all, and then we’ll deal with your bullshit attitude toward your pack leader. You moved away from our pack with my father’s permission. You never removed yourself from the pack officially, which means you now bow down to me as your pack master. If you have a problem with that, you need to issue an official challenge, and we’ll deal with that too.”
“I’m not challenging you, Dre. I just want to know what’s going on with my daughter.”
“Well, we haven’t exactly gotten to the talking and figuring out the future portion of the process yet, so you’re just going to have to wait on that information. Whatever my mate and I decide is just that, our decision. We’ll inform you if and when we choose to.”
“You…” rage burned bright red on Jackson’s face then as he rose, clearly forgetting himself and his position – a lowly one – in our pack. Garrett stopped him from sealing his fate by placing a firm hand on his shoulder and guiding him firmly back down to his seat.
“You need to remember who you are, and more importantly, who he is.” Garrett remarked rather snidely to Jackson. “He’s already given you more warning than he should. Do not push this, or you will find we have to deal with your insubordination in front of your daughters, and I don’t think you want that.”
“What the hell?” Liz asked, almost under her breath. “Dad, you need to chill the hell out. Obviously, they need time to work out what’s going on with them. I seriously don’t know wh
at your damn problem is lately, but just remember all of this could have been hashed out years ago if you hadn’t played the part of the cowardly lion instead of the proud wolf.”
Jackson flinched back from his daughter’s words. They wouldn’t be the only ones flung his way though. I felt Izzy gearing up to say her own peace before she even spoke.
“We are all done paying for your mistakes. I’m truly sorry for the loss you had in your life, the loss of your mate. Now that I have bonded with Dre I do understand a little better what it is you’ve lost. I am not sorry it happened to you though. If it happened differently, Liz and I wouldn’t be here. So, while I can sympathize with you, and I feel for your pain, I will not continue to pay for your mate’s choice. Her choice is not mine. It’s not my sister’s. You need to find a way to let it go and form your own proper bond with your wife. If you can’t do that, then you need to let mom go, and go to your mate. Whatever you choose, we’ll figure it out, but what we won’t do is be bound to your timetable for our lives. Liz and I are adults, and any respect you may have been afforded by being our father was somewhat negated by a lifetime of lies that almost led me down the same painful path you ended up on. I’m done with the bullshit dad. When I figure things out, with my mate, I’ll let you know…” she took a quick breath. “I’ll only let you know what I think you need to hear, not what you want to hear.”
