Claiming a Beta Coyote

by Serenity Snow

  Claudia stepped out of the bathroom. “I’m not ashamed of my body, Kyra. Every scar, every cut and blemish is a badge I wear with pride. I fought my way from shameful, cowering coyote to where I am today.”

  “You’re beautiful.”

  Claudia reached her. “So are you, sweetheart, but I’ll understand if you don’t want in my bed.”

  “You’re a woman, right?”

  “Yes.” Her voice was soft, her gaze intense and searching as if she was trying to see right into Kyra’s mind to read it.

  “And you’re disease free,” she said rather than asked. She knew it was a requirement of Sam and Mallory’s since Claudia had asked for a private room where sex might take place.

  “You know I am, I’m sure,” Claudia said.

  “Then, whether sex occurs or not is strictly up to how you behave,” Kyra said swaying toward her.

  “You’re curious if it’s real,” Claudia murmured and reached for her hand.

  Kyra didn’t jerk back because Claudia was right. She was curious.

  Claudia glided Kyra’s hand over her breast and down to rest between her thighs. “Squeeze it.”

  Kyra opened her hand and pressed it against the firm flesh. “It could still be a toy.”

  Claudia withdrew her hand and leaned back against the wall. She glided her hands up it to rest above her. “Touch me, sweetheart.”

  At first, Kyra just held her hand where it was. Then, she moved it over Claudia’s groin tentatively as she held Claudia’s gaze. Her eyes darkened to a charcoal gray, with silver flecks.

  Kyra’s heart beat faster, her blood rushed. She drew in a mental breath and stroked the bulge slowly. Against her hand, it grew.

  Claudia hissed, pleasure clear in her face, and intrigued, Kyra cupped her through the soft fabric and massaged the girth. She’d been with women who loved using strap-ons, but this was a little different.

  A lot different and a bit taboo.

  She leaned in and traced a kiss along Claudia’s jaw. It felt so good she licked the corner of Claudia’s mouth and her nipples hardened. Kyra’s eyes went to Claudia’s lips and the well-formed shape of them drew her in.

  Kyra brushed her lips against Claudia’s and Claudia closed her eyes, keeping her hands where they were.

  “You smell good,” Kyra murmured. “You always smell seductive.”

  “Kiss me,” Claudia urged.

  “I’ve wanted to kiss you since the moment you looked at me in the kitchen,” Kyra admitted, thinking of how soft Claudia’s lips looked and how much she wanted to feel them against hers.

  So, she kissed her, and for a moment, Claudia didn’t move. Kyra just soaked in the warmth before pressing a hand against the wall and leaning closer to Claudia. Claudia’s lips parted, and Kyra’s tongue darted into her mouth, tasting mint on her tongue.

  Claudia moaned and closed one arm around her waist, pulling Kyra closer. Claudia turned, putting Kyra against the wall as she deepened the kiss.

  “Mmm,” Kyra moaned and ran her hands up Claudia’s chest before pushing them up beneath her tank. Her skin was warm and soft, and Kyra wanted her naked.

  Kyra stroked her fingers lower to caress Claudia’s cock.

  “I want to see all of you.”

  “Kyra,” she murmured and tore the tank over her head and tossed it aside before meeting Kyra’s gaze again. “Undress me.”

  With unsteady hands, Kyra dragged Claudia’s briefs down, her eyes following the progress to take in the long cock, devoid of the hairy nest. Kyra pushed the underpants down muscular legs. She shoved Claudia to the bed and Claudia tumbled onto the mattress.

  Kyra followed, straddling her, and dipping her head, she claimed Claudia’s mouth again.

  Claudia moaned softly, and Kyra trailed kisses down the column of her neck to slowly lick the hollow at the base. Claudia growled, her hands moving up Kyra’s back to slip beneath her blouse.

  Kyra traced kisses along Claudia’s jaw before running her hands down her chest and cupping her breasts, she squeezed and drew a deep rumble of a growl from Claudia whose eyes were dark with lust now.

  Kyra lowered her head to lick one taut peak before sucking it lightly.

  “Oh, yes,” Claudia moaned roughly.

  Kyra pinched her other nipple and Claudia gasped. Kyra looked up to find pleasure on Claudia’s face and drew her tongue over her dark nipple again before scraping the tender flesh with her teeth.

  “Kyra, baby,” Claudia rasped out and pushed her fingers into Kyra’s hair.

  Kyra turned her attention to the abraded peak. She circled the swollen bead before biting it. Then she blew over the abused flesh before sucking it hard.

  Claudia moaned. “You’re wearing too many clothes. Take some of them off,” she ordered.

  Kyra got to her feet and quickly kicked off her shoes as Claudia watched her. She drew the zipper of her pants down slowly and smiled at the heat in Claudia’s eyes. Then she unbuttoned them and pushed them down her thighs. Claudia took her cock in hand and stroked it.

  Kyra’s breath quickened, and she got rid of her panties before putting one hand on the bed and bending to lick over the swollen tip of Claudia’s prick. She was surprised at how soft yet how firm the flesh was.

  She drew her tongue down the rigid length, her eyes still holding Claudia’s.

  “Fuck,” Claudia growled. “Suck me, baby, just the tip.”

  Kyra had seen enough porn to know the basics, so she closed her lips over the head and sucked. Claudia’s hand went to her head, to twine around her braid as she thrust her hips up.

  The thick length slipped deeper into her mouth, and Kyra relaxed and closed her free hand around Claudia’s dick and pumped it as she bobbed her head up and down.

  Having the cock in her mouth felt funny, but there was a sensuality to it that made Kyra wetter as she curled her tongue around the rigid length. The look of pure heat glowing in Claudia’s eyes made Kyra even hungrier.

  She cupped the small sac and rolled the balls in her hands. Claudia gasped, her face alight with the fire burning inside her. Kyra wanted to make Claudia come apart, to revel in her sensual power over this sexy alpha.

  Claudia hissed and drew Kyra’s head up and kissed her hard before tugging Kyra onto her. Kyra looked down at her, and Claudia ripped her blouse, sending buttons flying. She pushed the cups of Kyra’s silky bra up and leaned up to close her lips around one nipple.

  Kyra gasped and sank her fingers into Claudia’s short hair, the sensation going straight to her clit.

  Claudia’s moist tongue played over the areola. She kissed the small nipple before kissing her way from one nipple to the other. Sharp teeth scraped, caught the hard bead.

  “Oh, God, Claudia!” Kyra cried, heat turning her blood to lava. Claudia ran her tongue around the areola before blowing over the damp nipple. She took it between her teeth and Kyra gasped, the bite of pain a pleasure snaking through her.

  Claudia pinched her other nipple before turning her attention to it fully. She licked over the dark berry and sucked it into her hot mouth.

  Kyra groaned, moving against her, dragging her erect clit against the hard ridge of Claudia’s cock.

  “Oh, damn, Claudia,” she cried unable to stop the hunger rampaging through her, not that she wanted to. Her head was swimming with the incredible strength of desire pumping through her.

  Then, Claudia was kissing and licking lower, nipping, biting, and tasting the planes of her flat, hard stomach.

  Claudia moved between her thighs. Pushing them further apart, she traced kisses along the inside of one, making Kyra cream as her breathing quickened.

  Claudia licked over one plump pussy lip as she used the fingers of one hand to part the flushed lips of Kyra’s pussy and run her tongue up the juicy slit.

  “Mmm. I’ve been dying for a taste of you,” Claudia said and drew her tongue around the nubbin before gliding the tip down one side only to glide it up the other.

  Kyra growled softly
, bliss suffusing her blood.

  “Claudia,” she cried raggedly. Claudia gave Kyra’s mound a light tap, and Kyra shivered.

  “Claudia,” she cried out, trembling as waves of rapture washed over her.

  Claudia drew a finger around the opening of Kyra’s body. “Your pussy smells so sweet,” she said and pushed the tip of her finger into the dripping entrance.

  Kyra groaned. “Please,” she begged.

  Claudia slipped her finger deeper and lowered her head to lick over Kyra’s clit. She closed her lips over it, sucking it as she pressed a second finger into Kyra’s pussy.

  Claudia rested the flat of her tongue against Kyra’s clit and pressed as she fucked her harder.

  Kyra writhed against her hand, gripped her hair, and whimpered.

  “Oh, fuck. Don’t stop!” She mewled as Claudia fucked her faster, slamming her fingers in, stroking them against that sweet spot that threw Kyra over the edge with a scream.

  Chapter Twenty-One

  Claudia came to her knees as Kyra trembled beneath the force of her orgasm. She looked down at the lovely face, eyes dark in their desire. The heat of it reached out to her, licking over her, making her cock harder.

  She had wanted this since the moment Kyra had danced for her. She’d dreamed of touching her soft skin, feeling her body tremble with release. But reality was a bright light that burned her.

  Claudia gripped her throbbing, leaking cock and stroked the tip as she sought to prolong the entrance for just a moment. She knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back once she was inside the wet cavern.

  Claudia positioned the mushroom head at the entrance of Kyra’s body.

  “Claudia!” Kyra draped one leg over Claudia’s hips, her gaze pleading and the hands that reached for her demanding. The nails scraped at the skin of her arms, a coolness that caressed her.

  “Do you want to see how I feel inside you?” Claudia asked. God, if she said no, she’d have to get the hell out of here to keep the animal from taking what it wanted, what it seemed to need more than breath itself.

  “Yes,” Kyra begged. “Please, give me all of you.”

  Claudia thrust into her and the moistness of Kyra’s pussy sucked her in. Her eyes almost crossed from the tight grip.

  She groaned. No woman had ever felt so inviting.

  “Oh, fuck,” Claudia cried.

  The liquid heat surrounded her, urging her to lock inside Kyra and claim her, but she fought the animal’s primitive response.

  Claudia set up a steady rhythm of hard strokes that drew harsh cries from them both as pleasure took them over. Kyra’s hands glided down Claudia’s back, her nails raking her skin, penetrating it as they both got lost in the passion.

  Kyra arched up to her, moved beneath her, as if she was as hungry for this as Claudia was. The animal inside her growled, seeking the animal in Kyra and her eyes paled, the animal staring back at Claudia with drowsed gold with copper rays. The heat reached out, wrapping her like a lover’s embrace.

  It startled her, but the animal didn’t lose rhythm as it stroked into Kyra’s willing body again and again. The coyote dipped her head and bit Kyra’s shoulder and Kyra released a huffing-growl.

  Claudia pulled free of her and quickly flipped Kyra onto her stomach. She leaned down, her breathing ragged in the quiet room. She kissed a trail from Kyra’s shoulder to the middle of her back where she bit the supple skin.

  Kyra arched and let out a tiny cry of pleasure. Claudia licked the bite and a blue film appeared on the surface. Kyra moaned and rubbed against her.

  Claudia stretched over her, rubbing her front against Kyra’s back and a little snarl escaped her. She bit the side of Kyra’s neck as she reached down to guide her cock back inside her.

  Claudia gripped Kyra’s hips and took her with even thrusts, her animal intent on claiming what she thought was hers.

  “Oh, my Goddess!” Kyra screamed beneath her as she reached back to drag a caressing hand along Claudia’s jaw. “Claudia.”

  Claudia drove into her again and a second orgasm was torn from Kyra.

  Claudia’s coyote surged forward filling her mind completely now. She bit Kyra as she came, harder than she ever had, her teeth locking in the flesh as her body shuddered from the force of her orgasm.

  She felt the start of the knot, the thickening of her cock which would allow her to lock firmly in Kyra, and jerked free of Kyra’s body. Claudia refused to steal her choice. Not today, not this first time.

  ****

  The animal inside her told her something about this moment, this sexual interlude was different, but Kyra shoved it away, not wanting to think beyond the fact of great sex.

  She rolled onto her back to find Claudia looking down at her with eyes so pale they could almost be translucent. Then Claudia looked away for a moment and when their eyes met again, they were merely dark with lingering desire.

  “Are you okay?” Claudia asked huskily. “I tend to bite a little during sex, and I’ve heard it stings.”

  Her bite had been cold and deliciously sharp. Every nerve in Kyra’s body had screamed for more while the coyote wallowed in the sensation.

  “Just a little,” Kyra told her as she sat up. She brushed her thick braid over her shoulder and leaned toward Claudia. “You were fantastic.” Her shoulder still tingled as she climbed from the bed. “Maybe we should have a bite to eat after we clean up.”

  Claudia nuzzled the back of her neck and pulled her back. Kyra turned, and Claudia kissed her slowly, stealing her breath.

  “We’ll have to try this again when we have all night,” Claudia said and released her.

  Kyra gave her a curious stare and then got out of bed. All night?

  She could last that long, but did she even want to try?

  Good sex was one thing, but too much cuddling afterwards only led to complications she couldn’t afford.

  Kyra took a quick shower and when she entered the bedroom, she could tell Claudia had showered again, too, because she was wearing a fresh coat of lavender. Her ebony hair was slightly spiked, and she wore faded jeans and a button-front shirt with the top button open showing off a hint of the gold.

  Kyra crossed to the closet and removed jeans to pull on over her panties. She grabbed a t-shirt from the dresser and tugged it over her head before running a hand through the hair she’d covered with a shower cap to keep it dry.

  She hadn’t wanted to dry the thick mass of curls. They were the combination of her mixed heritage, a gift and a curse at times.

  “Did anything else happen in Stonington that I need to know about?” Claudia asked.

  “Not really,” Kyra said and then pushed out a harsh sigh. “You’re not the first person I got sexually involved with on the job.”

  “But?” Claudia asked, a hint of a growl in her tone. Her stare was one of consternation.

  “But you are the only one who’s made it hard to think,” she said. “I came here to do a job, but we never thought it would end up being this complicated.”

  “Your boss wants you back home, and that was what? A long kiss goodbye?”

  Kyra frowned. “Uh—yes, but not right away. The A.D.A. is going to have to do a few things first. That could take a couple of days.”

  “Then you’re out of here,” Claudia said coldly. “I guess I didn’t expect you to just leave this undone.”

  “It’s not why I came here,” she snapped, clenching her fists at her sides and then looked away from Claudia’s furious stare. “I think your pack might be in even more trouble even if Sam and Mallory manage to—”

  “Don’t worry about me, okay?” Claudia cut in. “My pack will be fine. Let’s just get this meet over with, and I’ll leave you alone.”

  “Don’t be such a jerk,” Kyra bit out. “You knew this was—”

  “Nothing. It was nothing. We just agreed to play a part. The fact that the game’s up sooner rather than later doesn’t change reality. This was never going to go anywhere.”

  Kyr
a didn’t reply. Her skin was cold, and her stomach rolled. She wanted to throw up, but she forced herself to grab some boots and a leather mini pack from the closet.

  “Are you ready?”

  Kyra nodded. “We can leave.”

  Claudia grabbed her wallet and keys. “Are you okay to ride on the bike or should we take your car?”

  Kyra looked at her. “I like riding on the Harley, all that power between my legs turns me on.”

  Claudia came to stand in front of her. “Is that a back-handed compliment to my anatomy?”

  Kyra grinned and lifted one shoulder. “I’ve never been with a man before, and I never want to be, but you’ve got the goods.” She let her gaze slide slowly down Claudia’s body and caught her bottom lip between her teeth.

  Claudia lifted a brow. “I’m glad you approve,” she said tightly. “Let’s ride then. The sooner we get this over with the sooner you can get back to your real life.”

  Chapter Twenty-Two

  Kyra backed away from Claudia, slowly turning away to retrieve the leather jacket Claudia had loaned her that first ride on her bike. She felt a little cheated, too, which she hadn’t since the night she’d lost her mother and aunt. Everything had been taken away from her in a matter of hours rather than days.

  She’d gone from beloved child with a family who’d die for her to all that was left of her family line. Survival had been her primary concern while she waited for Wes and his brother to come for her.

  Even then, she hadn’t cared about much in those first hundred days following her loss. She’d been numb even after the kills. Kyra had been young, vulnerable, and damaged. Then, she’d just been.

  She’d never trusted or opened up to anyone completely, not even Wes. She expected him to betray her the moment it became convenient. That he never had didn’t change anything. Now, there was Claudia, the only person she’d ever met that could be a game changer.

  You’re not falling for her, she told herself sternly. You either, she told her animal.

  She’s a liability.

  Kyra grabbed a plastic bag from the pack she’d brought in with her and followed Claudia out to the porch. As she locked up, Claudia put on her jacket. Kyra followed Claudia to her bike where Claudia unlocked a box on the back and removed a helmet. Kyra put it on as Claudia climbed onto the seat, and Kyra climbed on behind her.
