Strange Lake Falls Volume 1 (Strange Lake Falls Series)

  Mary was glad that the lights were off. No man had seen her naked except for her husband and Old Doc Burton. She had stretch marks and her skin was saggy in places where she’d lost a few pounds. She still had ten more pounds to lose. Her nobody wasn’t nubile like what Ric was used to. She hadn’t realized she had been standing still having an internal battle while he watched her.

  “Mary, take it off or I am going to rip that pretty dress from your body,” he said with a growl.

  Mary reached behind her back and pulled the zipper down. Then she pushed the top down reveal her black strapless bra. She pushed it down her waist, over her hips, and let it fall to her feet where she kicked it to the side. All she had on was her black matching panties and bra, and her black high heels.

  Ric moved towards her wrapping his arms around her as he nipped her chin. The next thing she knew her bra hook was undone and it was falling to the floor to join her dress. Ric nibbled a path down her neck while his hands cupped her breasts. He was on his knees now and his head was level with her chest.

  “Beautiful,” he whispered licking her nipple.

  She wrapped her arms loosely around his head holding him to her as she dipped her head back. It felt so good. Ric really knew how to touch a woman to give her the most pleasure. She gasped when he sucked her nipple hard.

  “Oh!”

  “Am I hurting you?”

  “No it feels…good.” Her only worry was that her legs might give out on her, but she should have known better than to worry. Ric would never let her fall. He grasped her hips holding her up as he pulled her panties slowly down her legs.

  Releasing her nipples so that he could kiss his way down her stomach, he stopped just above her mound and inhaled deeply. “You smell so fucking good.” He nuzzled his nose against her trimmed hair.

  “Ric.” Her fingers clenched in his hair.

  Suddenly he lifted her and gently placed her on the bed while he stayed on his knees and pulled her to the edge. Right where he wanted her.

  The move took Mary’s breath away. He was gentle but still, no one had ever lifted her like that. She was shaken and excited at the same time, and now he was staring intently at her lady parts and it made her feel very uncomfortable.

  “You don’t have to do that. My husband never…”

  Ric growled. “Do not speak of another male when I am touching you. And I am not doing this because I feel I have to; I am doing this because I crave the taste of you.” With that he swiped his tongue over her seam taking her juices.

  Mary tried to close her legs instinctively, but Ric gripped her thighs and spread them further. He gave her a warning look, and then he settled back in to feast on her.

  She was on fire. The flames were spreading from every place he touched. She could feel it in her fingertips, spreading down her arms, her legs, and it seemed to settle and build between her legs.

  He used his fingers and mouth to tease her. He wanted her to lose control with him, to give in to the orgasm she was fighting. He wasn’t going to stand for that. He wanted her pleasure. Increasing his movements, he fucked her with his tongue, in and out. She tasted so good his wolf rose up until he knew his eyes were glowing, and he growled with pleasure against her hot center.

  “Mmm…” Mary rotated her hips to meet his thrusting tongue. “Please Ric.”

  “Come for me!” He pumped his fingers harder and faster while he sucked on her sensitive clit.

  Mary’s body bowed as her orgasm finally tore through her. Wave after wave of ripples of pure rapture erupted throughout her entire body. “Ric!” She screamed as she felt the most amazing pleasure in her entire life.

  She was floating somewhere between heaven and Earth; her body completely relaxed. She could feel Ric kissing his way back up her body, and surprisingly it was building the fires again within her. She’d never been able to have multiple orgasms before. Truth was she wouldn’t always have an orgasm when she and Christopher were together, but she loved him and never complained. What she was feeling with Ric was completely and utterly new.

  Ric positioned himself at her entrance and slowly entered her bit by bit. It took all his self-control to keep his wolf at bay and resist ramming himself deep inside her like he wanted to. She was human and weaker; she wouldn’t be able to handle him at full strength.

  He closed his eyes and savored being surrounded by her heat. She was so tight; embracing him like a tight glove until he never wanted to leave her. He kissed her as he set a steady rhythm, glorying in her moans and gasps.

  “More! Harder!” Mary clutched him to her.

  Ric pulled out of her despite her protest, and easily flipped her over to her hands and knees. He promised himself to worship her thoroughly later. Right now he needed to be inside of her, making her submit to him. He covered her and put himself at her opening, pushing in slowly, burying his cock deep within her.

  “So fucking good.” His wolf tried to rise up. He wanted them to claim her as their mate. All he had to do was bite her neck while he released his seed inside her and then get her to bite him in return. Not a lot of blood, just a little and then they would be mates. Forever.

  No. He couldn’t do that to Mary. She wasn’t even a werewolf. He pushed those thoughts aside; all he wanted to do was lose himself in the sweetness of her body. He pushed down on her upper back until her face and chest lay against the mattress. This position made her lovely ass rise up higher.

  “Yes!” He growled as he pounded into her over and over. His claws came out and he dug them into the mattress next to her head.

  “Oh God!” Mary moaned as she started to come again.

  “Fucking right!” Her muscles clamped onto him making him growl out as he came hard. His semen poured into her over and over. But he didn’t stop the pounding; he kept riding her until she screamed another release.

  Chapter 13

  Mary woke slowly, aching in all the right places, and she smiled as Ric ran his hands all over her body. “Mmm…that feels good.”

  His breath was right at her ear. “You feel good.” He nibbled gently.

  Mary giggled. He had reduced her to a giggling teenager. She had never acted this way with anyone before. She looked down as he moved to nuzzle her breasts.

  “What time is it?” She asked.

  “It’s seven thirty in the morning.”

  She laughed as she stretched a little. “I can’t seem to move my body.”

  He chuckled, “Well I did tire you out last night.”

  She smiled at him. “I’m not complaining.”

  He nuzzled her neck again. “Let me cook you dinner tonight.”

  “Can you cook?” She just couldn’t picture the macho Alpha wearing an apron and baking cakes.

  He looked at her with a playfully hurt expression. “Of course I can cook.”

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to insult you.” She tried to squirm free, but he refused to let her up.

  “I’m not easily offended, beautiful, but if you want to make it up to me, you’ll agree to come to dinner tonight.”

  “Okay, I’ll come. What time should I be there?”

  “Eight.”

  She nodded her head in agreement. “Should I bring anything?”

  “Just your gorgeous self.”

  “How about I bring dessert?”

  Ric looked her body up and down. “Darlin’, you are the dessert.”

  Ric couldn’t help but smile as he walked into the pack house later that morning. Some of his people were eating breakfast, and the twins looked at him with a knowing smirk

  “Someone got lucky last night.” Rod commented chuckling.

  Ric growled at him, but went over to the refrigerator and grabbed the milk. “Is everyone still planning to go bowling tonight?”

  “Yeah, are you coming Alpha?” Rod asked.

  “No. I am having a guest over this evening.”

  “Oh…another female wolf?�
� Rod looked at him.

  “It’s none of your business. Just have everyone out of here by seven if you can.”

  “No problem alpha.” Rod and his brother spoke at the same time.

  Ric went to his bedroom and began undressing before he noticed that he had a missed call. The number belonged to Councilman Reynolds but he wasn’t in the mood to deal with the man. Everything else could wait. He needed to see what it was exactly that was happening between him and Mary. Without anyone’s interference.

  Later that evening Mary paced back forth as she waited for the apple pie to finish baking. She kept looking in the mirror to fuss with her hair or makeup. Her palms were sweaty and she used almost half a roll of paper towels trying to keep herself dry. She would have wiped her hands on her pants, but she was afraid she might leave a wet spot there.

  She was wearing blue jeans and a white tank top with a blue button up blouse over top which wasn’t buttoned, but hung loose. She had pulled her hair up in a simple ponytail. She took it that this would be a casual meal, but she was expecting the rest of the pack to be there.

  Pulling the apple pie she had made out of the oven, she grimaced, he’d told her that she didn't need to bring anything, but her manners wouldn’t allow her come empty handed. Plus, she really wanted to impress him with her baking skills.

  She’d spent most of the morning second guessing whether she should go or not. She wished that Jackie was up so that she could talk to her about things.

  Did this mean anything to him? It sure as hell meant something to her. She just wasn't sure what that was yet. She had never had a casual fling with anyone, but after what they had shared last night, she didn't thing she could be casual about anything with him.

  She took the pie and went outside to her little VW bug. She sat the pie beside her and started her engine. It wasn’t long before she pulled onto the dirt road that led to the werewolf pack house. Her heart beat sped up and her palms were sweaty. She couldn't wait to see him again, but at the same time she was scared because she didn't know where this was leading.

  As she pulled up on the side of the house to park, she noticed that there was a white wolf running out of the woods toward the Alpha house. She’d seen most of the pack in wolf form, but she’d never seen a white wolf in that these parts before. Mary parked and reached over for the apple pie before getting out. She started to move around the car and noticed the white wolf had frozen in place and was watching her. Maybe the wolf was nervous.

  "Hi I'm Mary, a friend of Ric's."

  Mary stopped walking and watched in amazement as the wolf slowly transformed into a beautiful blond haired woman who was completely naked. She turned her bright blue eyes on Mary.

  "Hi I'm Roxanne Jaspers, an old friend of Eric's as well. Do you know if he is home?" She asked.

  Mary was awestruck by the woman's beauty and how lovely her voice was. She didn't hear the screen door open right away.

  "Roxanne?" Ric asked stepping out on the porch.

  Mary watched in horrified silence as Ric leapt from the porch, and wrapped the hot naked woman in his arms. Seeing them pressed together hurt her so much. She slowly backed up to her car. Ric pulled back smiling down at the other woman with adoration. No man had ever smiled at her like that. There was love between them. She had to get out of there. That's when Ric sniffed the air and turned in her direction.

  "Mary?" He kept one arm wrapped around the blond woman as he turned Mary's way.

  She dropped the pie and jumped back into her little car, fighting tears. He didn't even try to stop her from leaving. That made the pain she felt ten times worse. He simply...let her go. The tears came before she even hit the main road. How could she have let him into her bed? Even worse how could she have let him into her heart?

  Chapter 14

  “Mary!” He was about to go wolf and chase after her but Roxanne pulled on his arm. He growled as he turned back to glare at her.

  “Give her a few minutes. If you chase her now she might have a wreck trying to avoid you.” Roxanne told him.

  He sighed, knowing she was right. “Why would she leave like that without even talking to me?”

  Roxanne snorted. “You are so male. I take it that human is someone important to you.”

  “Mary and I are…dating.” Well sort of. Tonight would have been their first official date.

  “I didn’t know you were dating humans. Councilman Reynolds said that you needed to find a full blooded werewolf to mate.”

  Ric frowned. “Councilman Reynolds is an ass! Why would she just leave?”

  “Think about it. She came here to see you, and found a naked female rushing into your arms. Of course she is going to be upset.”

  “We’re werewolves nudity is nothing to us.” Ric looked perplexed.

  “She’s human, so she doesn’t get it. Let her get home safely, and then you can try to talk to her.”

  “I don’t know.” He looked like he wasn’t sure.

  She added, “I’m a woman. I know what I am talking about.”

  He sighed. “Come let’s get you some clothes while I am waiting” He didn’t move at first but sat there and stared at the apple pie on the ground. “Damn I heard that she makes really good pies.” He turned back to Roxanne and led her to the house.

  ***

  Mary wasn’t sure how she made it home with all the crying she did, but thankfully she made it safely. Wiping at her tears she got out of the car, walked to the front porch, pulled out her key, and froze. She replayed the images in her head over and over. The gorgeous blond woman, naked in Ric’s arms. They looked perfect together. They were two werewolves that could share their day to day lives without question. They would be able to have beautiful babies. That’s when she broke down again in tears.

  Whoever the female was, she would be able to give Ric everything that Mary couldn’t. Children. It had been hard to deal with back then but now it was absolutely devastating because even if she was younger, she would never be able to give Ric everything that he deserved to have. She dropped to her knees and sobbed.

  Chapter 15

  “She’s not answering her phone.” Ric told Roxanne stomping back and forth across the kitchen floor.

  “Sit down. Give her time. Distract yourself by talking to me. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. I want to hear all about things here. Last time I saw you, you were in Canada.”

  Ric sat down across from her. “Our pack land and house were caught up in a forest fire. Everything was destroyed. We had to relocate and we found this place and felt it would be perfect for us.”

  “I’ve only just arrived today, but the townspeople seem very nice. Your friend seemed nice. Her name is Mary, right?”

  “Yes. Roxanne, I am very glad to see you again, but why are you here?”

  Roxanne blushed. “I thought Councilman Reynolds told you.”

  “You’re here for me to date?”

  “No, I’ve come here to mate with you.”

  “I’m sorry…what did you say?” He had to have heard her wrong. Roxanne was like a little sister to him. He’d grown up with her.

  “I have always wanted you, but you saw me as a little sister. Then you had your heart broken by that bitch, Elise. When Councilman Reynolds said that he was planning to send some females your way, I jumped at the chance to come and finally be with you.” She reached out a hand to rub up and down his arm. “I have waited for hundreds of years for a chance with you. Will you give me that chance, Eric?”

  Ric was dumbfounded. He’d never known Roxanne felt this way toward him. Maybe a few hundred years ago he would have been flattered, even tempted to take her up on the offer, but not now, not now that he found Mary.

  He shook his head. “I’m sorry Roxanne, but I…I’m in love with Mary.” Admitting what he not yet put into words to himself was eye opening. He really did love her, but had he lost her because of the misunderstanding with Roxanne? Fuck!

  Roxanne sighed
. “I understand. It seems with you I am always too late.”

  He picked up the phone and dialed Mary’s cell phone. He got the voicemail. “Mary, please call me back. Nothing is going on between me and Roxanne. Please sweetness, I need you to call me.”

  Roxanne asked him, “What can I do to help?”

  Ric gave her a half smile. “Nothing. I am going to go over to see her and explain things. Please stay in town because I want her to get to know you as my friend.”

  “I will…”

  The phone rang. Ric lunged for it. “Mary?”

  “Uh … Alpha?”

  “Rod, what’s going on?”

  “Alpha we have run into some trouble at Mr. Belliveau’s warehouse.”

  “You were supposed to go bowling.”

  “We stopped by the warehouse to make sure the security was in place and noticed that one of the guards was knocked unconscious.”

  “What happened?”

  “Three humans had broken in and were vandalizing the place. When Jay and I tried to stop them, they fired at us. We fired back and two of them were wounded. Don’t know what happened to the third. We called the cops and the paramedics. The cops are taking us in for further questioning.”

  “Shit! Are either of you hurt?”

  “Jay was shot in the leg, but the cops put a wrap around it. They want him to go to the precinct before the hospital.”

  “Don’t say anything until I get there. I will try to call Adrian; he may need his legal team involved in this.” He slammed the phone down. Ric was furious. One of his own was injured and not given proper medical treatment. Granted werewolves would heal once they shift, but the human cops didn’t know that.

  “Is there something I can do to help?” Roxanne asked.

  “You heard everything?”

  She nodded. “Werewolf hearing.”
