Rocked by her Alpha

by Mina Carter

  “I love you.”

  He said it again and she nodded. She wasn’t hearing things. The little clamor in the center of her chest got louder. “That’s what I thought you said.”

  “That’s not all.” He stroked a gentle fingertip down her cheek. “There’s something I have to tell you.”

  Everything within her stilled at the gravity in his words written into the set of his shoulders.

  “You’re really a hairdresser, aren’t you?” she teased. “Or a party clown? All this…” She motioned to the hair and the muscles, and by extension, his wolf within. “It’s a front.”

  It started slowly. A twitch at the corner of his mouth, then a curve and a smile until he threw back his head and laughed. A sound of joy she’d be happy to listen to all day, all night…for the rest of her life.

  She frowned and then realized that after everything that had happened…she wanted more. More than one night. More than a few nights. She wanted forever.

  He pulled her close and hope curled in her breast. “Kitten…Melody…I’m a werewolf. Which means that I rely on my senses a lot. Particularly my sense of smell.”

  “Oh my god. You’re gonna tell me I stink or something.” She clasped her other hand dramatically to her heart, the beat rivaling any heavy metal track as he dropped to one knee in front of her.

  He chuckled. “No. Quite the opposite, you smell fantastic. Unique. Perfect. To me that is… Every wolf goes through life searching for the perfect, irresistible scent on that one person. The one they’re drawn to, who they can’t stay away from. It’s how we know our soul mate…the person who completes us utterly.”

  Instead of the normal, smart comment, she held her breath.

  “As soon as you walked out onto the balcony, I knew.” He shook his head and met her eyes, hope and something else she couldn’t identify in his own. “I know this is quick, and you’re human, and some deranged fan of mine just tried to kill you, but…you’re my soul mate. I’ll only want you as long as I have breath left in my body.”

  Soul mate.

  The words resounded in her head and then wrapped around her heart. Something deep inside moved like the barrels of a lock, sliding into place.

  “Until death us do part…like marriage?”

  He nodded. Warmth rushed through her. Standing, he pulled her into his arms and the beginnings of what she knew was a sappy smile spread across her face.

  “Our version, yeah. We’ll take it slow, but this can’t end here. If you don’t want to travel, we’re about at the end of this tour. Which means we’ll be in the studio for the next couple of months. In one place, and I pick the place…we can pick the place. If you’ll have me?”

  She nestled against his chest, every cell in her body in tune with him. Safety and security rolled through her. She’d come home.

  “Just you try and stop me. Someone has to keep you bad boy rock stars in check. Stop you corrupting the local populace.”

  He smiled. The hard bulge of his arousal pressed into her belly and her heartbeat kicked up a notch. “And I suppose you’re the woman for the job?”

  “Damn right, I am. Now, Mr. Lyric Dog, get some damn clothes on and let’s get out of here. After everything, I think I can skip on work for today.”

  “So… are you going to make me beg?”

  Melody turned to find Aaron watching her from the doorway of the bathroom. It had taken them less than twenty minutes to get back to the hotel from the dig, and more effort than she’d anticipated to get him to agree not to book the entire place just so they could be alone.

  They’d compromised on the best the small hotel could offer, the honeymoon suite on the top floor with excellent views of the valley below them. Not that she was looking at the view, not with Aaron in the room. What red-blooded woman would look at the landscape out the window when there was entirely different, and infinitely more interesting scenery on offer right here in front of her?

  She took her time looking. Just out the shower, his hair was damp at the ends, the strands clinging to his broad shoulders. Shoulders that flowed into a wide chest and down into a lean waist with cobblestone abs.

  Heat hit her at the same time as the need to trace her tongue down the v-line by his hips, and she snapped her eyes up to his face, heat on her cheeks.

  “Hell no, kitten, you look all you like,” he rumbled, a very male interest in his eyes as he stalked toward her.

  For a moment she’d forgotten he was a werewolf, that there was a dangerous beast hidden beneath the human form, but seeing him move with that feral grace brought it all back.

  “I like you looking. Like seeing the heat in your eyes and the scent of your arousal on the air when you look at me.” He stopped right in front of her, looking down. She’d forgotten how big he was, but it all came back to her in a rush. And what that big, hard body could do to her…

  “Like you are now, kitten.” His nostrils flared as he put two fingers under her chin and made her look up to meet his gaze. “Now, are you going to make me beg, or do I have to make you scream first?”

  Oh my, now they were talking. She swallowed, not sure she could frame a thought, never mind get a sentence out, and went with an inelegant, “Huh?”

  His lips curved in a smile as he bent his head to whisper his them over hers. “I love you, Melody, and I think you love me too…”

  She followed his lips, trying to get the kiss he was teasing her with and then huffed in irritation as he pulled out of her reach. Opening her eyes, she looked up at him. In his face she saw all her hopes and dreams, her future, written there in amber and blue.

  “Aaron Rixx,” she said softly, reaching up with a smile. “I love you. I wanted to hate you when I thought you’d… that I was just a one-night stand. But then you—”

  She couldn’t say the words, instead running her fingertips gently over his cheek where the acid burns had long since disappeared. In the car on the way over from the dig, he’d admitted that he hadn’t known whether his wolf could heal the damage inflicted by the acid. He’d pushed her out of the way to save her without a thought. Her heart melted all over again.

  “I love you, Aaron. Probably since the moment I first saw you.”

  “Oh thank moon for that,” he breathed in relief, dropping his head back for a moment.

  She waited for him to look up and teased. “Even if you do wear eyeliner.”

  “You little…” he breathed, hauling her up into his arms and kissing her.

  She melted against him and opened her mouth for his questing tongue. A moan escaped her as he found it, turning the kiss into a hot and torrid embrace.

  Moaning, she pressed herself closer… fitting her feminine curves to his hard, masculine body. They fit together perfectly. Like they’d been made for each other.

  No words were exchanged as he walked her back toward the large bed in the center of the room. As they walked, his hands slid under the hem of her t-shirt, sliding it up and over her head in one smooth move. Each move fed the next, faster and faster, her clothes and Aaron’s towel gone before they reached the edge of the cotton and satin covered bed.

  Lips clinging and hands everywhere, they fell to the soft surface wrapped in each other’s arms. Heat and chills chased each other over her skin as his big hands explored her body. He didn’t neglect any part of her, almost as though he were reacquainting himself with every inch…no, it was more than that. It felt like he was memorizing every inch of her, imprinting her on his memory for all time.

  “Aaron, please,” she begged, the tension and need coalescing into a hard ache between her legs. Her pussy clenched, aching for him to touch her… fill her. Claim her.

  “What do you need, kitten?” he murmured against her lips, sliding one roughly haired leg between hers. “Tell me what you want.”

  “You. Now.” She couldn’t wait any longer, grabbing his hand and guiding it to where she needed it.

  He didn’t disappoint, clever fingers sweeping through her folds to find
her clit. He used the broad tip of his finger with its callus from playing guitar over the sensitive bundle. She moaned softly as he circled and stroked, driving her higher with each pass until she clung to his shoulders. Her moans escalated to wordless cries of pleasure.

  She felt the impending rush, the sudden tightening of her body and pushed at his arm. “No, Aaron. I’m gonna… I want you to be inside me when I come.”

  A small, pleased growl rumbled in the back of his throat at her words and the next instant, she found herself on her hands and knees. The heat of his big body beat against her back even as the thick bar of his cock pressed between her ass cheeks. A bolt of heat sizzled through her veins and she pushed back against him, rocking her hips.

  “Moon, if you tease like that, kitten…this’ll be over before it begins,” he growled, tension in his voice as he pulled away a little to dip his hips.

  The thick, wide head of his cock pressed against the entrance to her body and stole any reply she’d been going to make. Instead, all her attention was focused on the place their bodies joined, the way her pussy lips stretched around his thick cock and the need building like a blaze to feel him push forward and claim her.

  “Now,” she begged when it didn’t seem he would move, pulling on the arm braced on the bed by her waist. “Please, Aaron, now.”

  She needed this, needed to make them complete and wash all the unpleasantness of the weekend away. She needed the physical confirmation this wasn’t a dream and he had saved her.

  “Whatever you need, kitten,” he promised, pushing forward. “Whenever you need it. I’m always here, always yours.”

  She couldn’t answer, pleasure arching through her at the long, slick ride of his cock as he thrust into her. Her body, although tight around him, hummed with need, each nerve ending stroked as he bottomed out, his hips against her ass.

  He didn’t give her time to get used to him, didn’t need to. As soon as he was fully seated, he began to move. Need and tension built in a little bubble around them, creating their own world in the large bed. She met each of his thrusts with one of her own, a complex and raw dance that drove them on, reaching ever higher.

  It wasn’t gentle, it didn’t need to be, but it wasn’t brutal either. Just two people coming together, needing together, claiming each other in the most basic and primal way possible.

  Then, suddenly, it was all too much. She stiffened, sensing her climax rising over her like the crest of a wave, ready to take her under.

  “Aaron!” her cry was instinctive, reaching out to take him with her, but he was already there.

  “Go, now,” he ordered, his lips against the curve of her shoulder.

  She relaxed, crying out as pleasure crashed over her in a pure and perfect wave. As it did, he bit her, a sharp pain in her shoulder that made her gasp suddenly. But the pain turned to pleasure, joining the rush already flowing through her and wrapping around it. Doubling it, tripling it, until all she could do was push back against Aaron’s thrusts and hold on for the ride.

  His teeth were buried in her shoulder as his hips thrust, cock slamming into her welcoming sheath, hard and fast. Again and again. Then he drove into her one last time, his whole body stiffening. Releasing his grip on her shoulder, he threw back his head and howled even as his cock jerked and pulsed, emptying his white hot seed deep within her walls.

  They stayed like that for long moments, frozen into an erotic tableau, until the spell broke along with his rigid stance. Gathering her into his arms, he moved them both so they lay on their sides in the soft cotton, still joined.

  “I love you, Melody,” he whispered softly, his big hand stroking down her curves. “Now we’re one, always and forever.”

  Smiling, she nestled back into his arms. She was home, and better, she’d be rocked by her alpha for the rest of her life.
