It was easy to admit his feelings too. “I think I’ve loved you since I saw your small little body protecting Morena. You’re the best surprise and I’ll treasure you every single day for the rest of my life.”
“Thank you alpha, can we talk about your list now?”
“What?”
“I’m still on my knees in front of you, that’s number one. I’d planned on doing it last night but you were sick and I couldn’t. I want you to experience it, with me. Number two has already been done and we’ll have to discuss number three you dirty boy.”
Her long small tongue stroked him from the base of his penis to the tip. His raging erection bounced with excitement, beckoning her to continue without words. “It’s so warm and wet. It feels phenomenal, not like anything I’ve ever imagined.”
“Oh, it gets better.”
Knowing the pleasure she was about to give him he couldn’t keep his shields up. He reached down and gently stroked her wet hair out of her face so he could see her eyes. They blazed up at him with heat.
He dropped the shields that he always held in place to protect her from his exhaustion, fear for her and his occasional pain. He’d only opened them a few times before and he knew it frightened her; except last night when she willingly took some of the packs weight from his shoulders. He expected to feel her, but not so intensely.
As he opened to her she hummed her satisfaction and he felt the vibrations electrify his entire body. Goose bumps covered him and he shook with need. “I can’t stand much more, love.”
“I don’t want you to hold back, this is for you.” His rapt gaze was drawn to her hand where she lightly stroked herself, working her hips in rhythm to her mouth on him.
She continued to work him; licking, sucking, even gently nipping his spongy tip with her teeth. Her mouth was magic and watching her, feeling her joy ramped up his excitement. Her cheeks hollowed as she pulled back creating delicious suction. Unable to hold back he felt himself losing control. Grabbing her head he held her still and plunged into her mouth with single minded intensity. He could feel his climax building, when she lightly raked her fingernails over his dangly bits he detonated. Completely shattered, he emptied himself into her mouth and she took all he had.
Sucking him dry he noticed she’d stopped rubbing herself and there was a definite smell of her release in the shower. “Wow, you can multi-task really well.”
Her cheeks reddened even more and it caused her entire body to turn rosy. “Oh, that.”
She almost reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear self-consciously when he caught her lingering scent on her hand. He grasped her wrist and slowly brought her hand into his mouth. “I could live off your taste. I’ve never had anything sweeter.”
She pulled her hand back, but he could see she was intrigued. Seeing her flushed and, obviously pleased with herself made his cock twitch to life again. How was she able to do this to him? He could climax and seconds later be ready again.
Looking down at his cock she expected it to be limp, but no, not her mate. He had stamina and she briefly wondered if it was the fact that he was new to all this or if she could simply expect a healthy sex life for the next hundred or so years. Hoping for a healthy sex life, she licked her lips and before she knew it Blake had her pinned to the wall of the shower, his stiff shaft found her wet and ready.
His voice was gruff. “Are you sore?”
Sending him a devilish grin she cheekily responded. “We have reached your travel destination two, please proceed with mating.”
He took her up against the shower wall and not long after they were screaming their release together.
Chapter 13
The day started off a little rough with her tumble out of bed, however after her third orgasm she was blessedly relaxed. Today would be another day to assemble the pack and clean. Honestly, she was sick of cleaning. Needing some time away from the house she informed her mate she’d be going shopping with the new cook.
As Jamie and Beth got into the car they asked at the same time. “Who’s going to protect us?”
Delilah knew this was coming. When Tidus ruled he made sure the pack members didn’t go anywhere alone so he could hold his protection over them and withdraw it when it suited him. “Ladies, we will protect ourselves. Surely, Beth, you remember a time when pack members came and went freely.”
Beth nodded her support so Delilah started the car and pulled out, continuing. “We’ll protect ourselves. If one of us gets hurt we will alert the alpha through the bond. No problems.”
Jamie’s quiet soft spoken voice was barely heard over the car’s engine. “But, I heard the alpha was stabbed when he got here and then he was shot with an arrow.”
Well hell, at least they didn’t know about the poison, yet. “The alpha can take care of himself. What we need to focus on is food. We are going to have some very hungry pack members to feed when we get back. Repairing that house is gonna take a lot of energy and time.”
“Thank you for allowing us to cook for you. We’ll show you some good eats and you’ll never have to worry about cooking again.” Beth’s shoulders went back with pride.
“Every once in a while I’m going to want a turn in the kitchen so you’ll have to teach me too. I’m afraid I know how to cook, but not for this many people. It’ll be an interesting ride.”
Reaching the store they all took separate carts knowing how much food shifters could eat. They also had to stock up on basic necessities because after Tidus they tossed everything in the kitchen out, not trusting anything. They worked off a list and occasionally picked up something that was a simple indulgence. Donuts from the bakery isle were a must for Delilah and she ate one while they were checking out.
Beth came up behind her. “Does our alpha know what a sweet tooth you have? I doubt he would have had you come today if he had.”
Delilah shrugged. “He’ll find out soon enough. Plus, I’m getting my period so it’s fine.”
Poor Jamie’s cheeks reddened and Delilah thought briefly that the girl had to toughen up if she was going to be living at alpha house. Looking past the girl she noticed a mop of blond hair near the exit. Morena. She was fighting with someone. Not in her normal screeching tone either, quietly.
Scooting closer, still ducked behind the aisle she noticed Morena was talking to none other than Phil. His face was red where it wasn’t bruised from her mate’s introduction to the pack; she couldn’t believe it was only a day ago. Morena was shaking her head and her sharp nail was pointed and hitting poor Phil’s chest. She felt wicked for attempting to ear hustle on their conversation, not wicked enough to stop.
As Delilah crouched at the end of the register she strained to hear what was being said. With the rhythmic beeping while cashiers rang up the purchases she wasn’t able to hear anything. Finally, Morena slapped Phil across the face with her open palm, the sound stopped all of the checkers; not surprisingly Morena walked away dramatically, dismissing him. Instead of growling or being upset Phil smiled evilly, walking away.
Not having any idea what had just happened she stood up abruptly and began to gather the groceries, placing them in the overfilled carts. Chancing a glance at Phil she noticed he was looking directly at her. His eyes went wide in shock, his eyes averted and he gave a slight nod of his head, tilting it to the side to expose his neck in submission.
Interesting. Phil is acknowledging my place in the pack, when did that happen? She was weary when he approached slowly. She scented him but nothing jumped out at her; no scent of lies, fear or anger.
“May I speak with you alpha mate?”
He kept his head lowered and refused to meet her eyes. “You may. Go ahead.”
His eyes flicked up to hers briefly and he looked around at the busy store. “I need to speak with you in private.”
Her laughter was a touch manacle. “I don’t think so, Phil. Would you like to set up a time to speak with your alpha and myself?”
He remained submissive, eyes ave
rted with head down. “I’ll do that, alpha mate. Thank you.”
He walked away and she was hit with a sense of foreboding. Should she rush after him and try to figure out what seemed to be on his mind? It seemed important. She turned to chase after him, but was stopped in her tracks. He was gone, she could have followed his scent except there were loads of people milling about and she didn’t want to draw attention to herself.
Where the hell was his mate? Delilah and the girls had been at the store for the last three hours. He knew damn well it didn’t take three hours to buy groceries. It was past lunch time and he kept getting asked about furniture and appliances. What the hell did he know about them? He was tempted to call his mother, but he didn’t want to step on his mate’s toes. He was usually the calm in the storm, however, the worry about his Delilah and the constant nagging about house wears was grating on his nerves.
Just when he thought he was going to use his power to shut everyone up, he got an epiphany. Maybe he could suggest they sleep until Delilah got home; it couldn’t be much longer. The shrill ring of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.
Seeing his mates sleeping face light up the screen he smiled to himself. If she knew he’d snapped that picture of her on their mating night she’d be pissed. “Hello beautiful.”
“Hey.”
“Is something wrong? You’ve been gone forever. The furniture has been ordered and as long as it’s in stock it’ll be delivered tonight.”
“Wow, you sure can get a job done. I’m more concerned that we don’t have enough space for all these groceries. I think we bought half the store.”
“Oh, I opened the pantry. I didn’t know it was there. I’ve already cleaned it out so no one has to worry. I even bleached it.”
Her voice was laced with shock. “You opened the pantry?”
“Yeah, and I bought another refrigerator for the garage so we can use that for non-essentials like drinks and stuff. I have most of it covered. I hope you don’t get mad that you didn’t get to help with picking out the furniture, your dad said it would be okay.”
“As long as it’ll hold up against the pack it’ll do. I hope you got a darker color because these wolves are kinda messy.” There was a long pause before she whispered. “You cleaned out the pantry?”
He took in a big breath and let it out slowly. “I did. You don’t have to worry about him ever again. I tossed everything out and your dad and I cleaned out the room he was worried about.”
A tear threatened to release. “I would have done that with you. I didn’t want-“
“It’s done.”
A wave of calm overtook her and she realized it came from him. “Thank you.”
“I know things were bad before. I have a better understanding of what happened when Tidus was in charge. No one will have to fear him or these rooms again. I wish you were here so I could hug and snuggle you.”
A warmth spread in her chest as she realized she loved him. Not just love him as her mate, but love him the man. He went out of his way to make sure things were easy for her, he got her opinion on everything and he embraced this new environment with gusto. “I love you, ya know.”
His chuckle came through the phone loud and clear. “Yeah I know, Del, I love you too. You’re my number one girl.”
“I better be your only girl, Mr. Nunn.”
“That can be arranged. Now hurry home, I want to ravage you until you can’t walk.”
“I would be delighted if you did. I won’t let you out of our room until the entrance to vaginatown is thoroughly swollen and you have a contented mate.”
He chuckled. “I like it, vaginatown. That’s my immediate destination when you get home. There’s another pack gathering tonight to discuss safety, the bears are coming.”
“I’ll be home soon enough, alpha.”
“Just, mate, to you. Or you could call me mate sexy beast while screaming my name, it’s up to you.”
Now it was her turn to laugh. “I’ll think about it. Seeya.”
Unfortunately Blake wasn’t able to meet his mate at the door panting and naked like he wanted. For some reason Morena arrived shortly before his mate and asked to speak with him privately. He had Hunter accompany him because he simply didn’t trust the chit.
Taking her to one of the renovated offices he instructed her to sit on the sofa while he took the chair behind the desk and Hunter guarded the door. It was evident what she wanted in her first sentence, which was purred instead of spoken.
“Alpha house looks great, you’ve done a great job so far and I hope that you can find it in your heart to allow me residence. I find I’m in need of a place to stay now that Tidus is gone.”
Blake was in awe, she was either a great actress or she truly was upset at Tidus’s death. Her eyes filled with tears as her breathing became erratic. Her next statement had him floored.
“Tidus was the only one willing to protect me.”
“Who was he protecting you from? I hadn’t heard of any threat to you.”
Sniffle sniffle. “Well…the women of this pack have always been mean to me. A couple of them have even pulled my hair.”
Blake nodded his head to cover his grin. “I’m very sorry that’s happened. I can find housing for you where you won’t be threatened. If you’ll give me the names of those who’ve been mean to you I’ll take care of ‘em.”
“But alpha, I’m in need of your protection. I think the best way to get that is to remain here, in alpha house.”
Blake shuttered in revulsion as she got up, approaching him and placing her cold, clammy fingers in his hair. Her slim fingers felt like pencils being raked through his hair and he let loose a menacing growl. “You dare to touch me without permission?”
Hunter, who was usually silent, piped up. “He’s your mated alpha. According to pack law he could end you where you stand for the disrespect you’ve shown him and his mate. You’re lucky we just replaced the carpets or that’s what I’d have done.”
Her tinkling laughter ended up sounding like nails on a chalk board. “I know you mated that hick, it’s your beast that wants her. You need a little more sophistication and a lot more curves. I can give you what you need.”
There were two threatening growls that rent the air before he heard his mate’s laughter. Uh Oh.
“Find your own mate, Morena, this big guy is taken and can you kindly remove your hand from his hair.” She looked at Blake, “You know I’m going to have to wash, rinse and repeat your hair like five times to get her slutty scent off you. Come on, might as well start now.”
Blake hopped to his feet anticipating his mate’s warm and gentle touch. “No time like the present. How did you know I was upset?”
“Felt it through the bond. I also felt you soothing dad a bit, good choice. He doesn’t take kindly to folks talkin’ bad about his pups, Hoss.”
The last of her statement was said like a hillbilly, including the trademark laugh and Blake found his annoyance gone in an instant. He scooped her up, tossing her over his shoulder and headed towards their room.
His cell phone rang.
Heaving a put upon sigh he lowered his mate, who smelled like musky arousal and sweet pie to the ground, slowly so their bodies ran along each other. “Hold that thought.”
Seeing it was his old alphas for the bagillionth time since his arrival didn’t cause the instinctual annoyance. Huh, maybe he was past his anger at being sent to this cold land away from his family.
“Hello.”
“Blakey, hiya.”
“Hey there, Trev, everything okay?”
“Uh huh. I miss you, lots.”
“Aww, bud, I miss you too. How are the twins?”
“Okay. Mom says I don’t have to like ‘em if I don’t wanna ‘til they’re older. They cry a lot and mom never sleeps so she’s cranky. Paul and Bailey is doin’ good too, she’s getting a big belly.”
“Yeah, that’s what happens when you have babies in your belly, it gets big.”
/> “I know. I wanna see your flowers belly get big, but I won’t be there.”
Hearing Trevor talk about his mates belly filled with his pups made his eyes immediately scan her abdomen, could she be pregnant even now? His eyes flared with passion as his hand reached out and rub her abdomen sensually. He almost forgot he was on the phone.
“Blakey, are you okay? Are you in trouble?”
As he eyed his mate he responded. “Oh yeah I’m in trouble, I’m in big trouble lil’ guy.”
“Okay, see ya soon.”
“Sure, see ya, Trev.”
Finally he was off the phone and onto new and exciting prospects, sex with her. Delilah’s heart rate picked up as she felt her woman’s juices release, her mate inhaling deeply recognizing her scent. She pulled out of his arms, turned and bolted down the hallway towards their room. Calling over her shoulder, “Catch me if you can.”
She knew he gave chase as the floor shook with his heavy footfalls. She sped up, ripping her shirt over her head to toss back at him, giggling. Twisting she saw the shirt hit him in the face and he held it to his face taking in her scent. She was shocked when his eyes turned yellow, his face elongated and a bit more body hair sprouted on his arms. Oh shit, maybe that was a little too much taunting the beast.
His strides lengthened as his partial shift took over, “Mine, mate.”
Their open door was just ahead, but she wouldn’t reach it on her feet. Blake caught her around the waist, flipping her in midair so she could straddle him. Taking only a few extra steps he slammed the door closed with his foot and nuzzled her neck. “You’re gonna pay for that, mate.”
She winked down at him, “I’m counting on it, love.”
He stilled with her in his arms and she wondered if she’d done something wrong. She was rubbing her soaking core along his thick firm shaft, only their clothes between them. She was already so close to reaching her big O.
“Marry me?”
All movement between the two stilled. She was lovingly cradled in his arms her front to his, with his big hands holding her behind. She pulled back to look in his eyes and what she saw shook her to her core. Raw need, arousal, love.
