Eyes wide, Laz kissed her back but his touch indicated that he wasn’t happy with her so it held a bruising quality to it. Flipping her over, he put her on the bottom and got himself free of the chair as he held her close, one hand in her hair and the other on her breast, squeezing the soft flesh with some pressure.
She moved under him and tried to free her hands, “Need you, Laszlo.” She didn’t recognize her own voice, the rough edges to it sending her over the edge of the Wolf.
“How do you need me, Des?” he asked, keeping her pinned and torturing them both all at once. Shifting, he rocked his erection against the warm heat between her legs. “Let your Wolf tell me just what she wants,” he whispered against her jaw before he bit, careful not to hurt her but with enough force that her Wolf wouldn’t be annoyed.
The wolf howled at him and snapped her jaws toward him, trying to bite him back. “If you think you can fuck me, do it.” And then she began to battle him for dominance. “Fuck me, Laszlo,” she demanded.
Yanking his head back, he snapped his teeth at her, hard. “Behave or you’ll be naked for the rest of the day, woman,” he snarled. “Not that I mind, but I’m pretty sure you’d be pissed if you had to visit my office wrapped in newspaper. Again, not that I mind, but it would be a hell of a thing to explain.” Pushing up her shirt he got it over her head and used it to help keep her arms and, by default, her hands and claws trapped.
She was trapped by her own shirt, not wanting to be naked as he had threatened she stifled her movements, slightly. “Please, Laz, I’m burning up,” she whispered, the woman in her speaking instead of the wolf. “I’m on fire, Laz, please help me.”
“I will, love,” he whispered, as though hearing Des in her voice once more. “Just be calm for a minute and try not to take out my eyes this time,” he said, a clear warning in his tone. Shifting he stripped her down, leaving her shirt and her bra hanging off her arms since he clearly wasn’t going to take any chances and still needed to hold her down, somehow. Getting himself undressed was a whole other challenge but, in the end, he prevailed and was soon between her legs again, stroking a hand over her before pushing into her heat.
Her legs moved to a wider stance and she arched up slightly as he rammed deep and hard into her body. “Laszlo.” She growled, the wolf vying for domination in the mating, the woman fighting her tooth and nail.
“You’ll regret this later, love, when you have rug burn where the sun don’t shine,” he murmured softly even as he began to move as he seemed to know what she needed. Hard and fast with as much effort as possible behind each thrust. Skating his teeth down her chest, he nibbled at her full and lush breast, his tongue flicking out to tease her nipple with an act of softness compared to what else he was doing to her.
“I could care less about that,” she said and wrapped her legs around him, demanding each movement that he gave her, pumping his cock in and out of her body as roughly as he was. The gentle sensation of his mouth on her breast compared to the force he was using to drive deep into her body was a contrast that had her screaming in pleasure.
Capturing her nipple he suckled on her, the action of his mouth in concert with his hips pushing her further and further. Sliding an arm around her waist, he lifted her up for him and drove in deeper, harder, all the while trying to protect her from their slight slide over the plush carpet.
Her eyes rolled back as she leaned her head back and howled, actually howled in pleasure from his suckling her nipple. When they reopened, they were that of the wolf residing inside of Desmonda, and she growled for her mate. “Laszlo.” It was barely recognizable, his name.
Sliding his hand around her body, he reached between them and, at the exact same time, pinched her clitoris as he bit her nipple and pushed into her hard, his cock enlarging. As she arched up he held off his own orgasm until she came, it was part of Wolf culture to ensure his mate was satisfied before he could be.
She didn’t disappoint, her cries filled the air as she came hot and fast, clenching on him tightly even as she felt him expanding inside of her body. A soft cry escaped her lips as she felt her body shuddering and going over, the wolf in her howling inside her head and out.
Snarling in answer to her Wolf Laz followed her into the abyss, his seed spilling deep inside of her. Shuddering in near violence, he collapsed over her. Panting he kissed her throat lightly as he continued to try for air.
Her wolf was settled finally, sated and accepting of the fact that she was with her mate, her equal. “I love you, Laszlo.” She grinned however. “We will need to make sure to clean up, later.” Right now she was tired. Between the booze and the sex, she was exhausted and so her eyes drooped, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 9
As her breath settled Laszlo lifted his head to peer into her face and rolled his eyes. Sighing he propped himself up on an elbow and waited patiently for his body to finish. When he was able, he eased from her body and, gently he lifted her to his arms before carrying her toward the couch. Laying her down he collected their clothing, taking off the last of hers, and he piled them all in a chair. Dragging the blanket off the couch he wrapped it around himself, picked her up and then laid down with her, pulling the ends over them both.
Shifting slightly she smiled and sighed. “Mmm, nice.” She rubbed her cheek on his chest and then placed a kiss there before she once more lay her head on his chest and closed her eyes for a sleep that was needed.
Grunting softly he shook his head. “Janos better not come in early,” he muttered knowing that he’d be the casualty if Janos walked in. Her knee to his groin, she’d shriek and deafen both him and Janos as she scrambled for clothing and he curled into a pained ball.
She moved slightly and readjusted herself. “Side maybe?” She evidently couldn’t breathe laying on his rock hard chest. “I love you but you’re too hard, baby.” She was more than half asleep as she grumbled.
“Oh now you’re complaining?” he asked in a shocked tone as he rolled them so she was closest to the back of the couch. Adjusting the blankets he winced at the slight draft moving up his leg to his ass. “Go to sleep, baby, we need to get out of here before my baby brother comes to work and finds us playing nudist colonists in his office.”
“He will be shot if he comes in here now,” she said simply as she rubbed her cheek against his cheek. “I love you, sweetheart,” she said with a smile. “Now, sleep sounds like a really, really good plan, honey.”
“Not sure how you plan on shooting him as you don’t have a weapon,” he pointed out. “Or do you?” Laz asked suspiciously as he ran his hands slowly down her body. “Are you hiding one someplace I didn’t think to look?” he teased as he nipped at her lips lightly.
She grinned and opened her eyes. “I think that you have given me a full body search, darling, but you know”—her hands moved over his chest—“I am more than willing to allow you to search me again, if you like?”
Growling softly he slid his hands down to her ass and, cupping her soft flesh, pulled her closer to him as he slid his leg up between hers. “I don’t want to hurt you, Des, and what we just did was definitely not overly gentle,” he whispered against her cheek.
“And yet I feel wonderful. I feel marvelous and still so much better than I ever had before.” Her hands moved over him as she shifted them slightly. “I need you, Laszlo. Gods I can’t believe that I’m saying it but I need you again. This heat thing will tire you out and I refuse to explain that to everyone.”
Chuckling softly he shifted so she was on top. “Then you get to do some of the work this time.” And since she was still in control of her Wolf and not trying to hurt him, he was fine with allowing her control this time around.
“Gladly.” Leaning down she brushed her lips against his neck and moved so that both her legs were on each side of his thighs. “Hold yourself and guide me onto you?” she asked as she rubbed against him hungrily and nipped at his ear.
Reaching down he stroked his fingers over her
instead of immediately doing as she wanted. Sliding two fingers in deep he teased her for a moment. “I love you, Desmonda.”
“I love you, too, Laszlo.” She gave back to him with feeling, looking down into the eyes of the man she adored above any and all others. “You are my miracle, darling.” She leaned back to ride his fingers, taking him easily into her more than ready body she moved on him, up and then down and back up once more. “Please. I want you inside of me now.”
As though encouraging her, he moved his hand and guided himself into her wet body. Letting her slide down him at her own pace, he smiled up at her. “Beautiful,” he whispered.
Moving one foot to sit on the floor for much better leverage and the other to brace on the inside curve of the couch, she leaned back and began to move up and down on him, riding him with her head thrown back and hands on the tops of his thighs to brace herself.
Stroking one hand over her belly he speared his fingers through her curls to find her little nub of flesh. Rubbing at her lightly he ran his other hand up and over her breasts massaging and teasing her.
She moved faster, on the uprise moving almost completely off of him, before plunging back down fully onto him. She was whimpering and her body coated in sweat as she moved faster, harder, more demanding than she had ever before been. “Laszlo,” she whispered with only the human in command. “Please.” She was so close, already she was close.
Using his one hand to guide her in her motions, his hips lifting to meet her each time she came down, Laszlo pinched her clitoris and lightly twisted the nubbin. Pulling her down to him to lay over his chest he lifted his knees, his heels gaining purchase in the cushion and he drove into her over and over and over.
She moved on him harder and harder, using her foot on the floor and the one on the inside of the couch to move on him, with him harder and harder. Leaning down, she pressed her teeth to his shoulder and bit him, she had no true reason for it other than it was the moment that had her biting him.
Growling, Laz arched under her and, in pure instinctual response, sank his teeth into her shoulder. Biting down he tasted blood and seemed to know that he had to stop. Thankfully he did stop but his body also came in a blind flash of pure lust and need, his hand holding her to him as he filled her body.
She bit harder on him until she, too, tasted blood as she came in a blinding rush that had everything to do with the moment, with the sheer desire that he instilled inside of her. She cried out against his skin and held on, her wolf refusing to let go and her human not wanting to let go.
Laz’s body indicated that he couldn’t have let her go if he’d been given the world. She was clearly his world and that was all that truly seemed to matter at that moment in time. Slowly as reality seemed to come back in, in a rush he let his teeth release her, slowly licking at the wound. “Are you all right?” he asked in a hoarse tone as he lifted a hand to stroke back her hair.
She let him go and nuzzled his neck as well. “Perfect.” She opened her eyes wide and looked at him. “Laszlo, oh god, I hurt you.” Shaky fingers reached out and touched the mark of her teeth on his shoulder with wide-eyed horror.
“Shh.” He chuckled, stroking her hair gently. “I’m fine, love. Besides, I gave you one, too, though the fact I’ll now have two marks will be interesting to explain. I loved every minute of it, Des, so don’t you dare be sorry for something so beautiful between us.”
“But I already gave you our mating mark Laszlo.” She whispered in horror, “Oh gods.” She not only deafened him, but she also marked him twice.
“Don’t even go there, darling,” he told her, rolling his eyes. “I happen to love that you have marked me, twice even.” He grinned at her, kissing her lightly. “Just shows everyone that sees it my mate really loves me.”
“You mean that your mate is really brutal,” she whispered and felt tears pricking her eyes. “Why do you let me hurt you? Why did you let me do this?” she asked but when she looked at him she sighed. “I do love you, Laszlo, I do but I hurt you.”
Hugging her to him, he shook his head. “Baby, you are not brutal. Brutal is hearing the screams of your family as they are torn to shreds by claws and fangs. Brutal is seeing blood spraying over the walls of your childhood home. Brutal is having to leave all your love behind for the good of your brothers when all you want to do is run back and kill the murdering bastards that dared to destroy your childhood. You are mine and you are perfect in every way. I will always and gladly wear every mark you put on my body as a sign of my mates satisfaction with my sexual performance.”
She pet him, there was no other way to explain it. “I love you, Laszlo, I hate that you have the past that you do, I really, really do. However I am glad you didn’t turn back. I am glad that you held tight to the knowledge you had to protect your brothers.” Or she wouldn’t have him now. “And you do.” She grinned. “You satisfy me more than you can possibly know.”
Kissing her shoulder, he smiled. “Good to know, I have a very large ego according to my brothers and the smallest of punctures to it would likely send me into space from the force of the explosion.” Giving her a squeeze he let his hold loosen. “Are you okay, Des, really okay?” he asked after a moment of staring at her.
“Yes, Laszlo, stop worrying.” She was grinning and lay her head on his shoulder. “Still mortified that I did this to you again but I will survive.” She moved so that she could look in his eyes and added, “I am fine, Laszlo, you didn’t hurt me, I promise.”
“Good,” he breathed out softly. He was always terrified he’d do her harm. Yes she was a lot more capable of handling what he dished out now that she too was Wolf, but it was a natural thing for him to do and he did it well. Stroking her back slowly he kissed her shoulder. “At least I sort of evened us out,” he murmured, licking lightly at her new mating mark.
She shuddered as he licked at the mating mark and bit her lip. “It’s just as…” She paused and shook her head. “It’s more sensitive than the one you gave me before I was changed. God dammit, that lick went straight to my core, Laszlo, please, do it again,” she begged softly already feeling the heat rising once more.
Chuckling at her tone he did as she asked slowly sliding his tongue over the whole of the mark. Groaning as he felt her clench he did it again and again, her wet heat drenching him as she began to pant. “Like that do you?” he asked in a hoarse whisper, already hard for her again.
“Oh god, yes.” She groaned and then looked back at him adding, “But I’m not the only one, am I, Laszlo?” To punctuate her words she clenched him tightly inside of her body and bit her lip as she did so. “I need you again. Damn this heat and where we are, but I’m burning, Laszlo, please.”
Licking at her mating mark again he smiled. “Darling, as long as we’re out of here in the next hour we’ll be fine,” he told her softly. Nipping at the swollen edge of the mark, he groaned as she jerked further down on his shaft. “You have me at your mercy, love, do what you will and trust me, I will not be complaining.”
With a laugh filled with lust and delight, Desmonda began to move on her mate. Taking them past their highs and screaming into their peaks. Together Desi and Laszlo used every second of that hour until she collapsed on his chest once more. “I think that your brother’s just gonna have to see me bare-assed naked.” Only with half an eye did she look around the room that had looked like a hurricane went through it and grinned. “He’s gonna be so pissed because we messed up his office, isn’t he?”
“Darling, he’s going to be ballistic.” Laz chuckled softly, as though still fighting for air. “All right, we really need to get up and dressed this time. He’s going to be here”—he turned his head and craned his neck to see the clock—“in about ten minutes.” Of course that was if he was on time and if Katherine hadn’t wanted just one more thing before Janos got out the door.
She was snickering and then, “Dammit.” She groaned. “I promised Mina that I would babysit Katherine tonight. I was going to take her to se
e that movie, Marley and Me, which I find amusing because it’s a movie about a dog, and she lives with werewolves and wild wolves.” Wolves that would kill for her in the blink of an eye without even hesitating.
“You know the wolves wouldn’t hurt her,” Laszlo said softly, it was a common worry of hers so he clearly knew the look by heart already. “They see her as one of their pups, love, they adore her like nothing I’ve ever seen. Course, they love Mina, too.” He grinned slightly. “Get up already, time’s wasting and we need to ensure all evidence of what we did is as hidden as possible.”
“I know that they love her,” she muttered as she moved off of him with a hiss of loss. “And I know they would kill for her in the blink of an eye, but she’s so small and she’s been hurt by wolves before. I just”—she shrugged—“I adore that kid, Laszlo, I worry about her.”
Sitting up he tugged her to sit on his knee. “I know, baby. She’s gotten over a lot of her fear of wolves though,” he pointed out. “She gets a kick out of having Janos change for her, each time more fear disappears. She’s strong, she’s young and she’ll bounce back easily enough, hell she already has,” he said with a smile. “Just don’t you go changing for her, you’re still not in control enough, love,” Laz warned her with a narrowed look.
She shook her head vehemently. “Oh hell no. I don’t want to scare the poor child more than I have to.” She grinned as she began to dress. “She is afraid enough of me, well until I put her in the car and turned on the siren and since then she and I have been golden together.” The child was insatiable in her quest for knowledge, she just wasn’t sure that the wolves were really ready to know that yet or not.
“What aren’t you telling me, love?” Laszlo asked her as he tugged his clothing on. Buttoning up his jeans he tucked in his shirt as she watched him watching her. “Come on, honey, no secrets in this relationship, just tell me,” he said, moving up behind her to kiss her new mark before she covered it.
