Your Sass is Mine: Sassy Ever After (Black Paw Wolves Book 5)

by Melanie James

  “I don’t know. Everyone told me I was crazy. That my feelings for you back then had to be a crush. That I couldn’t possibly have found my mate.” She remembered her mother’s reaction. Was still stung by the laughter that had followed her confession. Minx ran home as fast as she could. Excitement pounded through her body. She’d been in awe, not that she had found her mate, but because he was incredibly handsome. She remembered thinking at the time that the Gods had truly blessed her because he was so good looking.

  Her mother had laughed herself silly at the idea that her young daughter thought she had found her fated mate. No matter how much Minx had insisted she spoke the truth, her mother would not hear it. She had tried to tell her father. He’d beaten her for mocking the Gods.

  Jay pulled her closer. His lips pressing against hers before pulling back. “I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to see the truth, but I’m here now, sweetness. And I’m not going anywhere.”

  “Oh. My. Goddess!” Jetta’s mouth flew open when she saw Minx and Jay approach the edge of the clearing arm in arm.

  Minx smiled back at her friend. She also decided that Jetta needed a little bit of teasing. “Care to apologize now? Maybe grovel at my feet?”

  Jetta snapped her mouth shut. It flew open again. “I—I don’t know what to say.” A huge smile covered her face.

  “Did I miss something?” Confused, Jay glanced back and forth at the women.

  “Jay, this is Jetta. Jetta, this is my mate.” She introduced the two. “You’ll have to forgive Jetta. She’s trying to walk back hundreds of thousands of ‘he can’t be your mate’ conversations we’ve had over the years.”

  “Ah. I see.” Jay smiled. “It’s nice to see you, again.”

  “I can’t believe you actually remember me,” Jetta grinned.

  “I remember everyone from my time here. I just wish I would have come back sooner.” He squeezed Minx’s hand.

  “That makes two of us.” Minx leaned in close, wanting to feel Jay’s body pressed against hers. She knew a cheesy-ass grin covered her face, but she didn’t care—not one tiny bit.

  “And to think, I had to drag your ass out of the house tonight because you didn’t want to go to the Mating Ceremony,” Jetta teased.

  “I know. I know.”

  “So basically, you would’ve never known that Jay was back in town without me intervening. You’ll get a bill in the mail for my services.”

  Minx knew Jenna well enough to know that Jetta was absolutely going to take credit for her and Jay meeting this night. Her BFF would spin a fantastical tale about two star-crossed lovers meeting all thanks to her.

  Did she care? Absolutely not.

  “Minx isn’t the only one who didn’t want to be here tonight. Barbara and Tristan suckered me into coming before I had a chance to know what the hell was even going on,” Jay explained.

  “Is that the reason you’re looking so spiffy tonight?” Minx asked.

  “Sure is, sweetness. I had just gotten home from work when my Alpha, Rafe, told me that I needed to head down here so I could help out with some rogues in the area. Had I known the Mating Ceremony was tonight, I definitely would’ve changed.”

  Minx stretched up on her tiptoes and nibbled on Jay’s lip. “You mean this isn’t your normal look?”

  “Sorry, sweetness. I’m definitely more of a Harley shirt and jeans kind of guy.”

  Minx feigned a dramatic sigh. “Fine. I guess I’ll have to deal with it.”

  Jetta chuckled.

  “I suppose I should probably take advantage of you now, since I have no idea when I’ll see you in a suit again.” Minx grasped Jay’s red tie and tugged his head down for a kiss.

  He could’ve objected. He could’ve stopped her, but he didn’t. His lips crashed over hers. Firm and warm, sending shivers through her spine. She moaned into his mouth, her free hand wrapped around his neck.

  “Ugh! You guys are going to be disgustingly cute and sweet for the next year. I’m going to have to avoid you all like the motherfucking plague.” Jetta rolled her eyes. “I’m out. Minx I’m assuming you’ve got a ride home.”

  Minx pulled away from the kiss and giggled. “Love you, Jetta. I’ll call you tomorrow if Jay lets me out of bed.”

  It was Jetta’s turn to blush. “You are such a sassy wench. Your ass is lucky that I love you.”

  “Why don’t we get out of here and go somewhere a bit more private? We have a lot of lost time to make up for.” Jay nibbled on Minx’s ear.

  “Mmm. Yes, we do. We can go back to my place.”

  “Sounds good.” Jay reached into his pocket for his keys. Empty. Suddenly, he remembered that Barbara and Tristan had given him a ride. “Jetta was your ride home?”

  “Yes. Is that a problem?” A look of confusion passed over Minx’s face.

  “Normally, no. Tonight, however, I rode with Barbara and Tristian. My truck is in their driveway.”

  “Well, damn,” Minx frowned. “Should I try calling Jetta to see if she can pop back over here and give us a ride?

  “No. I’m sure the Wolfes will give us a ride back.”

  Jay and Minx made their way past the clearing to where Barbara, Tristan, and Aric stood. It was pretty obvious they were keeping an eye on everyone in the clearing, and at the edge of the woods. A smile danced across Barbara’s face as soon as she spied him walking hand-in-hand with Minx.

  “And I thought you said you weren’t in the market for a mate? It’s time to pay up.” Aric was the first to speak. His question may have been sarcastic as hell, but Jay knew there was no menace in his friend’s question.

  “Aric, you should be ashamed of yourself. Jay and Minx have been waiting a long time to find each other.” Barbara wrapped Jay in a motherly hug. “I’m glad to see you’ve found your mate. I can already tell how happy you will be together.”

  Jay not only heard the truth in Barbara’s words, he could feel it bone deep. Minx was his missing link. Quite literally the other half of his soul. He’d never believed the legends of old. The ones that told of those born with the wolf spirit. He’d thought it an old wives’ tale when the elders explained they were only born with half a soul; destined to roam the earth alone until they met their fated mate. Only after the mating ritual would the souls combine, creating a whole.

  Now, that he had met and claimed Minx, he knew the truth of the old legends. Something deep in his essence had changed the second they had completed the mating ritual. His life was no longer about him. He lived for her and her alone.

  Aric tossed him a set of keys. “Why don’t you get out of here? Enjoy your night? We’ll catch up tomorrow, and give you your assignments.”

  “Sounds good.”

  Minx barely had time to slide the key into the deadbolt and turn it before Jay was on her. His hands seemed to be everywhere at once. Touching, caressing, and kneading. Goddess, she loved it! Though they had already made love once, it wasn’t enough to sate the need she had for him.

  Her body was on fire, her skin felt too tight. Heat pooled between her legs. She wanted Jay, again. Goddess, she needed him. Needed to feel his cock sliding into her, filling her to the brink. Her nipples hardened at the thought.

  “I need to taste you,” Jay whispered in her ear as she finally managed to open the door.

  “Mmm. I like the sound of that.”

  “I want you coming as I lick that sweet pussy of yours.”

  Her body shook with anticipation. The thought of Jay going down on her again left her panting. Just the promise of it had her body primed and ready to go.

  The second the door clicked to a close behind her, Jay was on her. He backed her up against the wall, his lips slanted over hers. She moaned into his mouth as he deepened the already passionate kiss. Her legs quivered beneath her, goosebumps broke out over her skin. She’d never felt more alive in a man’s arms, than she had in Jay’s. Her fingers fumbled with the tiny buttons on his shirt. Her frustration evident as a
growl rose from her throat. She wanted to feel the scorching heat of his skin against hers.

  “Rip it off me,” Jay groaned.

  Minx didn’t have to be told twice. Her claws tore through the expensive of material, shredding it to bits. She gasped when her skin finally made contact with his. Her hands trembled as she ran them gently over the hair on his chest.

  His fingers fisted through her hair, pulling her close. “You’re everything I could’ve ever dreamed of in a mate.”

  She kissed his chest, stopping only to tease his nipples with her tongue and teeth. With her tongue she traced a path to his naval. Dropping to her knees in front of him, she slowly opened the button on his pants. His erection sprang free. She tongued the tip of it, moaning at the taste of him.

  “Oh God, Minx! That feels so fucking good,” Jay said as he pushed his pants and boxers down around his ankles.

  “You taste so fucking good. Better than I could’ve ever dreamed.”

  “You dreamed of sucking my cock?” He asked, surprise in his voice.

  Minx should’ve been embarrassed, but she wasn’t. She glanced up to see the look on his face when she sucked him deep in her throat. His eyes glowed with passion and lust for her. She cupped his sac with one hand as the other pumped his cock up and down, in unison with her mouth.

  “I have, but the dreams were never this good.” She wanted him to know the truth. That she’d dreamed of him more times than she ever cared to admit.

  “Did you finger yourself when you thought of me?” Jay chewed on his lip as he watched her lick the length of the shaft.

  “I did. Lots of times. Do you like knowing that I pleasured myself, and even called out your name just thinking about you—wishing this day, this moment was real?”

  “I love hearing it. I love knowing it. It’s fucking hot.” A rumble rose from his chest, his hand shook as he guided his cock back into her mouth.

  Minx had gone down on several boyfriends, but she’d always found it more of a chore than something she, herself, had found pleasure in. It was the opposite with Jay. She loved the taste of them, the feel of his cock sliding in and out of her mouth. Loved squeezing the base of him while she tried to swallow every inch.

  He tossed his head back, calling out her name. “You’ve got to stop or I’m going to come, right here, right now.”

  Minx didn’t slow down, not even for a second. She picked up the pace, her head bobbing up and down on his shaft faster than she’d ever gone. She wanted to give him this pleasure. Wanted to feel his seed shooting down her throat.

  “Minx!” Jay roared.

  His body quaked beneath her touch. His hips bucked against her, his fingers tangled in her hair, holding her in place as an orgasm pulsed through him. She swallowed him down, every drop that he shot into her mouth.

  “Sweetness, you didn’t have to do that.” He tugged her to a standing position, and planted a kiss on her forehead.

  “I know, I didn’t have to do anything. I wanted to. For a long time. I hope that’s okay with you.”

  “It’s perfect. You’re perfect, and you can do that anytime you want. You’ll hear no objections from me.”

  “Now, if I’m not mistaken, you mentioned something about tasting me,” Minx giggled as she pulled her tank top over her head, and tossed it onto the floor.

  “I did. I definitely did. Lead the way, sweetness.”

  As much as Minx wanted to head straight for the bedroom, she opted for the shower instead. After her brief dip in the lake, and their fun in the grass, she wanted to feel fresh and clean before the next round.

  “I don’t know about you, but I think the shower sounds heavenly right about now.” Minx turned on the shower, and grabbed a few towels from the cabinet.

  “You read my mind.”

  Minx shimmied out of her panties and shorts, and quickly tossed her bra on top of the growing pile. Jay stepped into the steamy spray, and held one hand out for her.

  “That feels fabulous,” she said as she stepped into the water and let it pour over her back.

  “Turn around, let me help you out.” Jay grabbed a red bottle of shampoo, and squeezed a generous amount onto his palm.

  “Really?” Minx sighed as he began to massage her scalp with her favorite shampoo. Not since she’d been a kid, had anyone washed her hair. It was absolutely divine, she loved every second of it. “If you keep this up, you’re going to spoil me.”

  “That’s my plan, sweetness.” Jay continued washing, then conditioning her hair. When he was finished, he grabbed a bottle of body wash and lathered up his hands.

  “I think this is a plan I can live with,” Minx breathed, as his hands slid over her back and down to her hips. He massaged each muscle, each inch of her body and everything in between. She had never felt more relaxed in her entire life. When he reached the juncture between her thighs, she wanted to cry out in bliss. His fingertips brushed gently over her clit, making her body shiver.

  “Wrap your legs over my shoulder,” Jay commanded as he knelt before her.

  Minx obeyed slowly lifting one of her legs over his shoulder. She was rewarded instantly when his tongue made contact with her sensitive bud.

  “Goddess, that feels so good. Please don’t stop!” She begged.

  “Never! So sweet. Like candy.” Jay continued licking her slit. His tongue, firm and wet, darted back and forth, driving her insane.

  She cried out in bliss when two of his fingers sank deep into her pussy. Her hips rocked toward him, drawing his fingers deeper into her.

  “Come for me, sweetness. I want to taste all of you.”

  Minx pouted in protest when he pulled his fingers out of her, until he replace them with his tongue.

  “Fuck! Baby, I’m going to come. I can’t hold it anymore,” she cried out.

  “That’s it, sweetness. Let go. I’ve got you.” His tongue pumped in and out of her, his thumb caressed her clit.

  “Yes! Jay! Yes!” She felt her inner walls clench and unclench as her climax vibrated through her. A brilliant white light flashed through her mind. Honest to God stars twinkled all around her. Never in her life had she climaxed from a guy going down on her—until now. Though she’d just had one of the most fabulous and powerful orgasms in her life, she needed more—desperately.

  “Please, baby. I need you to fuck me. So hard, so good,” she begged. “I need to feel your cock in me, now.”

  “I thought you’d never ask.” Jay stood and lifted her out of the shower. He wrapped a fluffy white towel around her, and grabbed one for himself.

  “I want you on your hands and knees,” he whispered in her ear.

  Eagerness hastened through her. Her breath caught in her throat. Minx wasn’t sure if the image that filled her mind of Jay slamming into her from behind came from him or her. It didn’t matter. All she cared about was making it her reality. She hopped up on the bed and nibbled on her lip. “Like this?”

  “Exactly like that, sweetness.” He palmed his cock, stroking it up and down. “So hot. So beautiful. I’m going to fuck you until you scream my name.”

  “Promise?” She asked with a smirk on her face. She was baiting the beast and she damn well knew it. Never before had she felt so empowered in bed. Watching him stroke his cock like that, turned her on more than she would have ever thought possible. The bed dipped beneath his weight. Her body trembled. Wetness flooded her core.

  She nearly jumped out of her skin when he ran the head of his cock from her clit to her ass and back up before settling at her entrance. She pushed against him, wanting to feel that delicious pressure that came with her pussy being filled by his cock.

  “Please, baby. I need to feel you inside of me.” She’d never felt so needy in her life. Never had she felt as if she might spontaneously combust if she didn’t get fucked—right that second. Jay made her feel that way. Only him. She suspected it would always be that way, and she would never get enough.

  “Tell me how you want me to fuck you, sweetness. Ha
rd and fast, or slow and sensual?” He continued teasing her, rubbing her clit with his cock and sliding it back up to her entrance.

  “Hard and fast.” Now, Jay. Please.” More begging, but she couldn’t help it. Desperate had become her new middle name.

  With one quick stroke, he slammed deep inside of her. He grabbed onto her hips with a punishing grip that was sure to leave a mark in the morning, to keep her from flying forward but she didn’t care. The only thing she cared about, at that moment, was the pleasure Jay gave her. Nothing could compare to the feeling of his length, pumping in and out of her, hitting the secret place that made her head spin and her heart thump wildly in her chest.

  He nibbled on her back, her neck as he drove deep inside of her and pulled back out to the tip. In. Out. Repeat. Every nerve ending in her body seemed to fire at the same time. Pleasure coursed swiftly through areas of her body that she didn’t even know existed.

  It became a struggle to stay on her hands and knees. She flew forward with each of Jay’s forceful thrusts. He pounded into her. She screamed. Loved it. Wanted more of it. More of him. Just when she thought life couldn’t get any better, Jay reached around and found her clit. The circular rubbing motion center soaring through the stars, once again.

  “Jay, baby! I’m coming!” she screamed. Deep in the throes of her climax, her channel tightened around him. He pumped into her, once, twice. Throwing his head back and shouting her name, she felt his seed jetting into her.

  With shaky limbs and ragged breaths, they collapsed on her bed. Satisfaction, pure bliss radiated from her pores. Never had she been more content in her entire life. Jay pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her. “I don’t know how I ever lived without you, sweetness.”

  “Well, well, well. What do we have here?”

  Minx jumped at the sound of the newcomer’s voice. She spun on her heels, confirming her worst fear. Her heart pounded. Her chest constricted, her breaths hitched in her throat. Her stomach sank as dread flooded her body.
