What a Werewolf Wants (San Francisco Wolf Pack)

by Kristin Miller

  Why wait?

  “I have,” she whispered, craning her neck around to kiss his lips. “And I think I want to do it now.”

  “Now?”

  She nodded, feeling his heartbeat drum against her back. “Why not? My love for you has grown each day we’ve been together. I can’t imagine ever wanting to be apart from you.”

  He caught her mouth with the softest of kisses, unraveling any tension that might’ve been balling in her middle. “I’ll never get enough of you. Not in a thousand years.”

  “Then let’s prove you right.”

  As the television special played in the background, he slowly stripped the shirt from her body, exposing her black lace bra. On a low groan that vibrated deep down in her core, he kneaded her breast with one hand and unhooked her bra with the other. Guiding it off, he kissed her neck, sending chills scattering over her skin.

  She laid her head back on him, lost in a maelstrom of sensation.

  Popping the buttons on her pants, he unzipped. Pushing off the ground, she lifted her hips off the couch and shimmied out of her pants, dragging her underwear with them.

  “You’re so soft.” His words were nearly a growl as his hands explored her body with a heated urgency. “Your breasts…” He stroked his thumb over her nipples, tightening the tender flesh to buds. “Your lips…” He claimed her mouth, stroked his tongue over her lips, and then plunged it deep into her mouth. “And this…” He slid his hand to the juncture between her legs and parted her slick folds.

  “Oh, Ryder…”

  She was lost. Sinking into him. Bursting with want and raging need.

  She tried to spin in his arms, but he held her still, pleasing her with his fingers and tongue, pressing her back against him. He swirled his fingers along her most sensitive flesh, and the pressure in her middle tightened. As if he could sense her rising pleasure, he flicked his tongue against her lower lip and then sucked it into his mouth. The orgasm ripped from her core as she cried out his name. She bucked against his hand as the luscious sensations overcame her again and again.

  Orgasm waning, Josie stood to turn and face him. In the two seconds it took to readjust over him, he’d stripped naked, flinging his shirt behind him and kicking off his pants.

  “You must be eager,” she said, a wicked grin curling her lips.

  “For you?” He guided her over the top of him. “Always.”

  One leg on either side of his hips, she lowered herself over him. He filled her completely. Fully. Stretching her to the max. She groaned, throwing her head back as their hips met.

  “Josie…” Laying his head back so he could gaze up into her eyes, Ryder guided her hips in a slow rhythm over him. “How am I ever supposed to hold back with you?”

  Taking the challenge, she rocked her hips, rolled over his shaft, and relished the pleasure rippling through her. He tightened, jaw to hip, as the rhythm sped and he buried himself to the hilt inside her.

  “You’re going to make me come so hard,” he said on a low groan. “Tell me you love me.”

  She slowed her pace, planting a hand on his chest. “I love you more than you’ll ever know.”

  His blue eyes charged with something intense. “Tell me…say you’re mine.”

  “I’m yours.” She meant it with every fiber of her being. “Always.”

  But he hadn’t turned her yet. Had he been so caught up in the moment that he’d forgotten?

  As the thought struck her, Ryder wrapped his arms around her back and flipped her over onto the cushions. She squealed in delight and clutched his shoulders as he smudged a line of wet kisses down her neck and thrust himself inside her. Her skin tingled head to toe. Bloomed with delicious warmth. His teeth grazed her neck as his cock massaged her from the inside out. There wasn’t a hint of pain. Not in the least. It was so damn erotic, watching his body move and flex over her.

  And then he withdrew from her core, making her feel empty.

  “No, no, don’t go,” she begged, clawing at his shoulders. “Come back.”

  “Oh, I will. Believe me, love.”

  He moved down her body, to her breasts, and then lower still.

  Hot damn.

  She shuddered from the sight of his head diving between her thighs. He didn’t kiss her core, though. Instead, he kissed the inside of her leg. Bit and nipped at her flesh. She trembled. Shook with desire.

  “Please.” She writhed beneath him. “I need you inside me.”

  “Then I won’t deny you.”

  With one smooth move up her body, he snaked an arm around her back, arched her up, and drove deep inside her. His breath fanned over her face as he thrust harder, faster, and then so tantalizingly slow.

  He gripped her tight. “God, Josie, you’re so hot.”

  “I’m yours,” she panted. She took the whole length of him, drawing him closer to the edge. “Everything I have to give belongs to you.”

  “Are you sure you want—” he began.

  But she silenced him with a kiss. He moaned, relaxed into her, and entwined his fingers with hers.

  “Then say the words after me.” Thrusting slowly, he gazed deep into her eyes. “Palm to palm, heart to heart, from this moment on, we shall never part.”

  Pleasure washed over her, body and soul. “Palm to palm, heart to heart, from this moment on, we shall never part.”

  On the final words, he cried out, plunged deep, and stilled inside her. Crackles of energy speared through her, engulfing her with brilliant white light.

  No, it wasn’t light. It was love unlike anything she’d ever known.

  It wound around her heart, radiated from her soul, and burst outward, consuming Ryder, too. Tendrils of energy, hot and sizzling like electric rods, snaked from her body to his, entwining their bodies together. When she reached out for one, it melted away, though the feeling of being joined to him remained.

  It was the strangest and most glorious thing she’d ever experienced.

  She didn’t need to ask if they were joined. She knew it, could feel it, body, mind, and soul.

  “It worked,” he said, as his eyes glossed with what looked like tears. “You’re mine.”

  “I’m yours, Ryder.” Holding on to his back, she lifted her hips and rolled against him, savoring every heightened sensation. She could feel every nerve, every twinge of ecstasy as it budded within her. “Your Luminary. Forever.”

  On the words, he erupted inside her and called out her name. It was glorious. The movement, their perfect rhythm, his seed filling her. And when he brought her down over the top of him, exhaling into her hair, a tear rolled down her cheek.

  “Are you crying?” he asked, pulling back to wipe the next tear. “What’s the matter?”

  Could she tell him? Given what had just happened between them, it should’ve been enough. She was elated, but there was more. Something that was still missing.

  “I thought you were going to turn me first,” she whispered, lowering her gaze to his kiss-plump lips. “So I could be like you.”

  He grinned. “You are going to be like me. I’ve already started the transition.”

  “What?” She pushed back against his chest. “What do you mean? When?”

  “While we were making love. The endorphins released during sex camouflage the pain. I wasn’t sure it would work, but that’s what a few of the guys from the wolf pack talked about.” He pushed a few tendrils of hair out of her face. “I bit you on your neck, and then on a second pulse point on your thigh.”

  “Oh.” She reached down and touched the tender spot on her leg. “I thought it was going to hurt, but that felt…good.”

  “I’m glad.” He kissed her long and deep. “Now you’re going to be insatiably hungry for a while. Your temperature is going to run hot and then cold, and you’re not going to be able to control it. You’re also going to crave sex like never before. And then, during the next full moon, I’ll take you into the forest with me so you can shift for the first time.”

  She hea
rd every part of what he’d said—and was surprisingly not afraid of any of it—but one thing in particular stood out from the rest.

  “I’m going to crave sex, huh?” she asked, fully aware he was still inside her.

  He shrugged as a sexy grin spread over his face. “The gig isn’t all bad.”

  “You’re adorable.”

  “And for the next thousand years, you’re mine.” As he relaxed over the top of her, Martha Silverstone’s voice blared from the television. “You’re going to be famous, you know. You’ll have everything you ever wanted.”

  Using two fingers, she turned his face to hers. And then, when he looked into her eyes with more love than she ever could’ve hoped for, she said, “I already do.”
