“Do it!”
We can’t.
There’d be no way I could keep my desire down. The need was too strong. I would moan loud, taunting her, hoping that wet pussy of hers would make her rise from the bed and walk over to me.
It won’t work.
My beast had no answers either. He remained whimpering within my chest just as discouraged as me. Last night, when I heard the shower go on in her bathroom, it drove me crazy. Her clary sage and fresh ginger fragrance mingled with soapy water. She was naked and wet only a few feet away. It pushed me over the edge. Surely, the rest of the pack sniffed her out too.
It even made Blaze howl outside of her bedroom window.
Last night, I rose from my bed with my hand gripping my cock. The mushroomed tip throbbed with need so bad, I rubbed my hand down the length and groaned. Pre-cum spilled out the tip. I wondered how I could find an excuse to pull her naked body out of that shower. I would’ve paid her any amount of money just to count the suds slipping down her wet flesh. I left my room, grabbed her doorknob, and the brass crumbled in my hands. Thank God she never noticed how the knob was broken on the outside of her door.
My shattering the knob told me that I was too revved up to be calm.
Imani would need soft and slow love-making and all I wanted to do last night was pound my cock deep into her womb. Maybe even bend her over, spread those ass cheeks to the side, and enter that rosy bud between them. There was no inch of her flesh that I didn’t want to spill cum all over.
Fuck. Calm down. I have to calm down.
Tonight, I inhaled her fragrance and left the bed again. This time my cock remained hard in my pants.
“Ours.”
Yes. She’s our mate.
Passing her bedroom, I headed for the front door.
Her arousing scent saturated my place.
Let’s get some fresh air. Once we do, maybe we can go to sleep.
Due to Blaze and I breaking the door earlier, Blaze stood outside in front of the cabin, guarding it. This was his punishment for not rebuilding the door this evening. He was expected to put a new one up by tomorrow night.
That was the other reason why I didn’t try to make love to Imani in the living room. I knew she would want privacy, and the missing door didn’t give the impression that there would be any. Little did she know, we would never have privacy. My brothers could hear us fucking from miles away. They’d be able to smell it too.
Do they smell how aroused she is right now?
I got my answer when I stepped outside and spotted the front of Blaze’s pants.
Blaze had a full-on erection and saw me notice. “Sorry, King. This can’t be helped. You should take care of that. She’s ready and—”
“Mind your business.” I stomped past him. “And calm yourself.”
“Where are you going?” Blaze quirked his eyebrows. “If I were you, I would be waking her up and—”
“You’re not, so don’t even imagine what you would do.”
Blaze laughed.
“I’m going to check on the witch.” I went to Sherwin’s cabin, needing something to do. The walk wouldn’t do anything. Imani’s scent of arousal was all over the damn property.
Therefore, I decided to get some business done.
I’d been out the whole time. I never got a chance to talk to Sherwin and discover any news on the witch’s recovery.
I entered his place.
In the living room, Damian sat right next to the sleeping witch—her black braids rested around her face. Like he had said, a bronze glow wrapped around her whole body. Tonight, he held her hands and stared.
“You shouldn’t touch the witch, Damian.” I kept my voice low. “She could—”
“She won’t.” It was something about the way Damian gazed at the witch that worried me. It looked like he was under a spell.
I stopped on his side. “Has she woken up?”
“No.”
“Not at all?”
“Not even for one second.” Damian placed his other hand over hers. “But sometimes she whispers.”
I leaned forward and sniffed the air. That earthy scent rose to my nostrils—the lovely perfume of blossoming flowers so unlike the other witches’ decaying odors.
“What does she whisper?” I asked.
“Songs.” Damian turned to me.
I froze.
His eyes had shifted to bronze. “She whispers little songs and they’re beautiful.”
Movement came from behind him.
I turned to see my Pack Shaman, Sherwin, putting his hair in a ponytail and entering the room.
“King, get this guy out of here.” Sherwin frowned. “He’s been a lunatic the whole time. You’d think he’s never seen a woman before.”
“Damian,” I said. “You were out with me all day. Now you’re in here. When’s the last time you’ve had a break?”
“I haven’t had one.”
“Take it now for me.”
“But—”
“Go.”
Damian frowned, let go of the witch’s hand, and left the cabin. But I knew the Delta didn’t want to leave.
Worry filled me. I looked at Sherwin. “Did the witch put some sort of spell on Damian before she passed out in the cabin?”
Sherwin laughed. “It’s called being horny. All of us are. We’ve been fighting the Wars for decades. Then, we finally get safe, and you put that stupid ban on us when there are barely any female werewolves around. Then—”
“I’ve got it.”
“Do you?”
“Yes.”
Still, Sherwin continued, “All wolves need a mate, or they’ll just go crazy, raping and eating creatures. That was the big bad wolf’s problem in Red Riding Hood.”
“He had more problems than that.”
“But a mate would have helped.”
“The ban is lifted.”
“Good. Now Damian can stop trying to hump my patient.”
“But his eyes turned bronze.”
“Not a problem. His wolf is trying to bond with the witch.”
“That can’t happen.”
“You can’t control mating. I told you that when you came up with that stupid rule.” Sherwin walked over to the witch and stared. “At least she’s doing much better. She should be awake in less than three days. Someone hit her with a dark curse. I spent half of the day siphoning it out of her and then realized that her body was burning it away all on its own.”
“She’s that powerful?”
“Yes.”
“Still unconscious?”
“Pretty much. Her body will need to regenerate too. The curse was liquefying her organs. Once she burns this away, she’ll regenerate.”
“And if we kill the witches that put the curse on her?”
“Then she’s brand new in days.”
“Okay. Keep up the good work.” I got ready to turn, but Sherwin stopped me. I raised my eyebrows. “What?”
He frowned. “Your mate is ripe and ready.”
I knocked his hand off my shoulder. “Maybe you shouldn’t focus on what my mate is. Who would stitch your wounds if I hurt you?”
Sherwin gave me a wicked smile. “I can stitch my own wounds. And normally, I wouldn’t be in your sexual business, but the entire fucking property smells like a beautiful woman in heat. Give it another day or so, and you’re going to have all of us standing outside of your cabin and howling to come in.”
I growled.
“Oh, shut up.” Sherwin waved his hand. “Take care of it.”
“I’m giving her time.”
Sherwin inhaled the air. “Is something wrong with your nose? She doesn’t need any more time.”
“You just make sure the witch wakes up and talks.” I left his place more sexually frustrated than when I walked in.
I headed past the cabins and stood at the edge of the woods. Ghostly shadows enveloped me as bright stars hovered high in the sky. The moon shone pale with parts hidden. Soon her f
ull elegance would be exposed.
The perfume of the forest hit my nose—sweet and cool. But there was also another fragrance battling with Mother Nature. Imani’s arousal drenched the air. Hunger rumbled in my chest.
There was so much going on. These witches had become a major problem. Additionally, they had a witch in their cabin. And with all this chaos, no answers had come.
Those things should have been the only thing on my mind. I was the Alpha. My hours were supposed to be spent in deep reflection, figuring out ways to serve my pack better. But the only thought on my mind was how badly I craved Imani.
Conri growled with lust in my chest.
Enough with all of you. We must take our time.
And then a voice came from behind and startled me.
“Aiden?” Imani whispered.
Shocked, I turned around. “How did you sneak up on me? That’s never happened before.”
She wore that thin nightgown that hugged her curvy body and barely hid anything. I knew without pulling up the gown that she wore no panties. It took everything in me to not run to her and tear the gown off.
“I woke up and saw you weren’t in your room. I was worried,” she said. “You’ve been gone for a while. I know you can handle yourself, but. . .I just wondered when you were coming back.”
Her nipples poked the front of the gown. Her wet desire continued to drown the air.
I inhaled her lush scent and groaned, “Is that all you came out here for, Imani?”
Chapter 16
Imani
“Is that all you came out here for, Imani?” Aiden asked.
“Maybe.” I felt crazy being outside pretty much naked. I’d worn no underwear because panties felt unbearable with this need in me being so strong.
Can he tell how much I want him? Shit. This is crazy. I should go back inside.
Since he’d brought me back to his cabin, I’d had this overwhelming need to feel him pressed against me. Every time he kissed my lips, my body came close to exploding.
When I woke up, the dragon punch had worn off, but my horniness rose. I’d taken a shower to calm myself, but it had only made me more unsatisfied, more in need of the real thing—his huge hands slipping along my skin.
He slowly stalked toward me. The moonlight bathed him in a magical glow. “What do you need, Imani?”
How could I explain it? I barely knew him. And even crazier, I’d just found out that he was half man and half wolf. I should’ve been in my room with the door locked, hiding. But all Aiden had done was protect me. He fought and killed the witches to keep me safe. He’d taken me and hid me away just in case they came back. He’d even stopped one of his brothers from trying to make a pass at me.
All his actions had shown that there was a special connection between us. But that wasn’t my only evidence. When we touched, the world blazed on fire. And deep in my subconscious, a truth rose in my head.
We’re supposed to be together.
Aiden had said things like mate and mine, but nothing drove the point of our bond home clearer than the electricity that surged through me from just his caress. That was why I couldn’t stay in my bed and go to sleep. That was why I waited for him to return, spotted him outside, and tiptoed his way.
“Imani.” Aiden stopped right in front of me and pierced me with a heated gaze. “What do you want, my enchanting mate? You know I would do anything, destroy everything, build anything for you.”
After several seconds of silence, I whispered, “I want you to touch me.”
In a blur, Aiden caught my waist and wrapped his arms around me. “All I want to do is touch you.”
His hard body pressed against my breasts. My nipples hardened even more.
“I’ve been trying to take it slow.” He brought his hands up and cupped my cheeks, framing my face.
My lips turned up in a half-smile. “I think you can speed it up a little.”
A low growl left his lips as he moved his hands to my waist. I gasped as he drew me into a kiss. I brought my hands up to his shoulders and inhaled sharply as I felt the tip of his tongue trace its way along my lower lip, delivering crackling flames along my body.
“Aiden,” I begged, unable to say the words.
He pulled back, and his eyes glowed gold within the darkness. “Imani, be careful. I’m barely able to hold myself back from you.”
“Maybe I don’t want to be careful.” I cupped my hands around his neck and drew him into an embrace with a burning wildness that I couldn’t explain. Desire exploded into lust. Flames radiated out from the center of my body.
He kissed me ferociously, slipping his lips down my neck and then to my breasts. Pausing, he reached the soft curve of my cleavage. “Oh, Imani.”
“Take me.” Not able to deal with the hunger anymore, I twisted my fingers into his silky hair and pressed Aiden harder against me. With the other hand, I yanked down my gown to give him free access. “Please. . .and don’t be careful. . .I want you now.”
Another growl escaped him. He looked behind me. Movement sounded. I looked over my shoulder, and Blaze walked off to his cabin.
And then Aiden lifted me and drew me deeper into the darkness of the woods. My shoes fell from my feet.
Trees and night air hid us from the others’ views. When he got us far enough away, he put me down in front of a tree and buried his face into my cleavage.
“Don’t be careful, you say?” He traced the outside edge of my breast with his tongue, circling closer and closer to my areola. He possessed me with his mouth. Every inch of me yearned for more of his attention. Still licking and sucking on my breasts, he cradled my curves in those massive hands and then yanked up the bottom of my nightgown. The cool air caressed my thighs and bare ass.
“Sweet Imani.” He let go and knelt in front of me, inhaling the air around my sex.
“Aiden, what are you—?” My words caught in my throat when Aiden's lips landed soft kisses onto my thighs. Shivers of pleasure ran up my body.
“Ever since that dream, I’ve wanted to lick your pussy in person.” He pushed the gown up over my hips, exposing my bare sex in front of his face. He lifted one of my legs over his shoulder, forcing me to lean back against a tree.
“Damn, baby.” He darted his tongue, licking the outline of my throbbing folds. Close to hysteria, my body was hungry for him.
“It feels so good.” Moaning, I leaned my head back against the tree.
“Mmmm.” He placed my other leg on his shoulder so that I straddled his face. “Hold on.”
“What?”
Lifting me high in the air, he cupped my ass with his hands. I shrieked from his strength. Holding me up against the tree, he feasted on me, licking and circling my pussy with his tongue. Suckling my throbbing bud.
“Oh, Aiden!” I gripped the sides of the tree for balance and rocked into his mouth. My mind drowned in an all-consuming heat.
Aiden’s skills were perfection. He slid his hot tongue into my pussy and pressed his fingers against my wet folds. My heart boomed in my ears. When I screamed in pleasure, he didn’t pause from his erotic assault. Instead, he sucked on my center. I exploded into jagged thrills, shredding apart all over his face, wet and dripping. I orgasmed, shocking the hell out of me. Usually, it took much longer, especially if the guy went down on me.
“Oh! I’m coming.” I gripped his head with one hand, convulsing forward, rocking my hips onto his mouth, and moaning in ecstasy. I almost fell over, but he held me up at the waist. When I was done spasming with pleasure, I shook against him. And still, Aiden softly lapped at my pussy, giving me another orgasm.
“Mate.” He lifted me off his shoulders like I weighed nothing. With my size, no man could even carry me.
I giggled. “I’m not a doll.”
“You’re as light as one.” He carried me in his arms. “I’m going to enjoy positioning you every which way I can as I stick my cock in you.”
My body responded at the mention of his cock. I should’ve be
en satiated, but his tongue made me want more.
I thought he was going to take us back to the cabin. Instead, he lowered us down on the ground so that the wood’s floor—pine needles, dirt, and rocks all pressed against his back. He pulled me on top. His erection pressed against my sex.
“Now that I’ve licked you, I can’t get enough.” In seconds, Aiden tore my gown away. The thin material fell around me. My breasts bobbed in the moonlight. He groaned and grabbed them both with his hands, toying with the nipples. “Tell me. Do you want this cock?”
“Oh, please, Aiden.”
“Say it again, baby.” Aiden massaged the softness of my ass. His palm smoothed over my hungry flesh.
“Please, Aiden, please give me that big cock,” I moaned in anticipation.
He squeezed me hard. I cried out, bucking against him, and he traced the outline of his hand where my skin was just beginning to flush. “Hmmm. You want it, but do you want it all?”
“I want it all.”
He rose, leaned close to me, his breath hot on my ear. “Are you mine?”
I shook with desire. “Yes.”
“How do you want it, baby?”
“Rough. Hard. Wild.”
He growled. In a blur, Aiden rolled over and flipped me around. I could barely catch my breath at his speed. In one second, I sat on top of him. In the next, I was on my hands and knees, dripping wet between my thighs.
The moonlight bathed my naked body.
I felt wild, careless, and on the edge of ecstasy. The sound of his zipper came next. I whimpered in anticipation. Then his cock pressed between my thighs, swollen and hot against my wet flesh.
“Yes,” I groaned. “Give it to me.”
“Our years together will be happy.” Aiden caressed my ass, possessing my body. I loved every second.
Aiden pulled my thighs apart with his strong hands.
“Please, fuck me,” I groaned like an addict. I knew probably all his men heard my aching and whining. “Fuck me!”
One sharp thrust came. I hardly had time to gasp. He pulled back, letting my pussy get adjusted to his massive size. Then he entered me again.
“Oh!”
