“Mmmm, no. You’re right. That’s not sweet at all. It’s incredibly harsh.”
“You like it when I’m harsh too.”
“I like a mixture of the two.”
“Yeah? So, you like it when I kiss you and then bite your breasts?”
“I more than like it. It feels like ecstasy to me.”
“Ecstasy, huh? Let’s just see how this ecstasy of yours sounds,” he said, reaching between her legs and slipping his fingers inside of her.
She moaned as he explored her wet folds, looking down at her with a wicked grin. She noted how his eyes seemed to get so much darker when he was excited. It was a turn on, just like everything else about him. If there had ever been a perfect man, he was certainly that man. Every day she only found that she fell in love with him a bit more. Her thoughts were interrupted by her own passion, a gasp escaping her lips.
“That’s my girl. Let me feel you drip across my fingers,” he said, slipping in and out of her softly with two digits until she was nothing more than weak putty in his hands. It was the effect he always had on her, which was perfectly fine with her.
Stripping her of her clothes, he removed his own before laying her on the bed. Leaning over her, he held her wrists down with his hands, taking his time to kiss his way up one side of her neck and then down the other before letting go of her arms and moving down to kiss her legs from toe to thigh. She drew in her breath as his lips found their way to her center, lapping softly at her pink folds as she tangled her fingers in his hair.
He took his time with her, touring her body slowly and gently. His kisses were soft and warm as he planted them on her thighs, teasing her clit and pussy as he passed from one leg to the other. Then he focused on her core, dipping his tongue inside of her, sucking at her clit and probing her with his tongue. Her hips arched upward toward him, aching for more of him as she teased her.
“Please, I want you. Make love to me, Aspen,” she begged.
“Not yet. I want to make you squirm. I love watching what you let me do to you,” he breathed against her skin.
“I love the way you make me yours over and over, every time,” she moaned, barely able to get the words out as he stroked her clit with his thumb.
“You are mine. Just like I am yours,” he told her, stroking her pussy in all the right places until she couldn’t hold back. Her body contorted as her need built up inside her, her legs shaking wildly as she exploded against his tongue. He lapped at her swollen folds, the effects of her pregnancy already showing in subtle ways.
“Please, Aspen. I want you so much. Please,” she begged.
Moving upward, Aspen came face to face with her, looking deeply into her eyes. His fingers traced across her lips, her own scent floating behind it as he drew it lightly against them. It was intoxicating.
“I love you, Amanda. You are everything in this world I have ever wanted,” he told her.
“I love you too,” she replied, feeling like the luckiest woman alive.
Burying his hands in her hair, he leaned in to kiss her, his mouth hungry against hers. She moaned as he entered her, his cock throbbing heavily against her aching folds. Wrapping her legs around his back, she met each thrust with reckless abandon, pulling him further and further into her with each stroke. Their bodies bounced back and forth against one another in the throes of passion.
“God, you’re beautiful,” he said, driving into her.
Aspen took his time, fucking her slowly, rhythmically. She could feel every single inch of him as he throbbed and pushed against her walls. Every time with him was earth-shattering and even though she was barely pregnant she was already so much more sensitive. As incredible as their lovemaking had been before, it was now twice as moving.
His thrusts grew more urgent and he pushed into her harder, deeper, faster. She moaned beneath him, closing her eyes and just enjoying the sounds and feel of him. Her hips shoved forward eagerly, meeting each time so their bodies were soon bouncing off one another in perfect harmony, building up to a cataclysmic conclusion.
“Oh, God, I’m coming. Fuck me harder, Aspen. Fuck me,” she begged, not caring if the entire pack could hear her begging all the way down the hall. All she wanted was to feel him ripping her apart, bruising her insides with his heavy cock as he pounded her mightily.
“Yes. I’m coming too. God. You are so fucking tight, so wet. Your pretty little pussy is squeezing my cock so tight.”
It was like a sexual Tourette as he seemed to just lose himself in her completely, forgetting anything but filthy words that streamed from him and were soon joined with an equally aggressive load of cum that spilled into her and flowed down the sides of her battered walls mingled with his. She could feel the slick sticky film clinging to her thighs as he lay there on top of her, sated and exhausted.
After a moment, he rolled to one side, propping up on his elbow to look at her in the darkness. The only fire tonight had been between the two of him and even without the extra heat in the room, she was sweltered in her own perspiration. It clung to her heaving breasts and seemed to attract Aspen’s attention as he leaned forward and sucked at one of her tender nipples. She drew in a sharp breath, causing him to let go and look at her apologetically.
“I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?”
“Yes, but only in the best way. That felt absolutely amazing.”
Aspen returned his mouth to her nipple, suckling at it and flicking it around with th tip of his tongue. It was the most incredible mixture of pleasure and pain as she felt herself already aching for him again. Reaching for his hand, she pushed it down between her legs, gasping audibly as he touched her there. Everything was sore and super sensitive. She would have thought that she wouldn’t want to be touched when she was like this, but all she could think about was him fucking her again.
Aspen was more than eager to please, continuing to tease her screaming nipples as he pushed two fingers inside of her and begin slipping them in and out, his thumb rubbing against her clit until she wasn’t sure she could take it anymore.
“Fuck me, I’m getting hard again just watching out turned on you are right now.”
“Take me like a dog, Aspen. I want you to put me on my knees and ram me so hard I can barely stand tomorrow.”
It was the first time he hesitated, whispering to her gently, “Is that safe?”
“Yes, now shut up and do what I told you to do!” she barked at him.
“You certainly don’t have to tell me again,” he told her, pulling her upward and flipping her over to put her on all fours.
Kneeling behind her, he continued rubbing her clit with one hand as he entered her, causing her to yelp loudly, the mixed sensations overwhelming her senses. Soon, she was coming again and again, each wave topping the next in magnitude. Her body shook and quaked with the explosions that rocked it each time.
She could feel Aspen growing even harder inside her, his long, thick cock hitting bottom as he drove into her full force until he could hold back no longer. His body convulsed as he exploded inside of her and then lay lightly on her back, his cock still filling her as their passion faded.
Finally pulling free of her, he lay to one side and she lay beside him, relaxing her head onto his bare shoulder. Both of them were completely sated and exhausted. Amanda felt happier than she had ever been, and she believed he did too. There wasn’t a thought in their heads about what might happen tomorrow. Tonight, they were in a heaven all their own. Amanda lay in the darkness with her head on Aspen’s chest, listening to him breathe quietly as he slept.
She drifted off to thoughts of what their life would be like once the baby came. Things would change for them. Would they still enjoy this level of passion? Not here, not in this confined space, but hopefully this would end soon. Surely the addition of a new shifter pup and possibly being joined by others soon would open up a new world where the Dire Wolves were less of a threat due to being faced with an emerging new breed.
Chapter 16
Amanda stood looking out the front window of the clubhouse. The view was partially obscured by the slats that were now on the outside of the frame, but she still had a wonderful view of the woods and stream that ran around the side of the building and alongside the road that led into the place.
She marveled at how far she had come in her life. This was not the path she would have taken for herself, but now that she was here, she couldn’t wait to enjoy her life to the fullest. She placed her hand on her growing belly, enjoying the way it was beginning to round as her son grew inside of her. She was only four weeks along and already glowing with the tiny beach ball forming there.
Aspen and some of the pack had knocked out a wall in their room to expand it into the next one. They would begin work in there as soon as the renovation was complete to get it set up as a nursery. Aspen wanted to return to his cabin and start building a bigger house for all of them on the same property, but it wasn’t safe and he wouldn’t risk separating her from the pack that would protect her.
This wasn’t the life she had envisioned for herself, but she was happy, happier than she had ever been in her life. She thought of her parents and wondered if they would have been as proud of her becoming a mom as they had been when they thought she would rule the art world. She’d like to think so, at least.
“How’s mommy doing today,” Aspen asked, slipping up behind her to hug her. He leaned down and kissed her neck lightly, his beard tickling her as he nuzzled there.
“I’m doing well. How’s Dad?”
“Great. I’m on top of the world. Are you almost ready for the party?”
“Yes. It’s been a while since we had a big party here, well, we’ve never had a party here since I’ve been around, but I hear it’s been a while even without me.”
“Yeah, we’ve turned into a bunch of old dogs who forgot how to have a good time, but with new blood coming in, we’ve got plenty to celebrate. Plus, fun makes folks frisky and these guys are itching to start a whole new line with their mates. The news that the curse has lifted has given them all a new hope. I don’t know how it happened, but I know we have you to thank for that somehow.”
“Well, I guess you’ll have to drink a toast to fertility on my behalf since I’m on the wagon for now.”
“I will do just that. Come on, I’ve got something to show you.”
Amanda followed him down the hallway toward their room. They had been working in there for several days and she had Aspen had been staying in one of the nearby rooms to keep her out of any dust and debris that might affect her condition. Aspen had forbidden her to enter until they were done.
“What is it?”
“You’ll see. Come on,” he told her, pulling her playfully toward their room.
Amanda walked in and nothing looked any different, other than there was still a sheet hanging between the original room and the one they had been working to create. Aspen walked over and pulled the sheet off to reveal that a large door had been installed with a folding divider that would separate it from their sleeping area when and if needed.
Amanda walked toward it and caught her breath sharply. The room was painted a bright yellow, but one had a white starburst area with fogged edges. Within it, was a lovely mural of herself with two wolfs, one larger than herself by her side and one much smaller one in front of her. The background was a perfect reproduction of the area around the falls where she had first encountered Aspen after their initial meeting at the bar.
The room was entirely set up with a white crib, baby bed, changing table and dresser. It was incredible what they had accomplished right under her nose without her even realizing it. She stood just staring at it for a moment before noticing there was a signature on the mural. Walking over, she looked at it closer. It was signed by Eunice Lowery. She looked back at Aspen, puzzled.
“Who knew you could adopt an adult?” he said.
“You’ve adopted her?”
“Not yet, but we are starting the paperwork on it very soon if you are okay with it.”
“What? Of course I am. It’s just a shame you couldn’t have done it sooner.”
“Yes. It is also a shame I haven’t done this sooner,” he said, pulling a large black diamond from his pocket and reaching for her hand.
Amanda’s heart raced as he slipped it on her finger. She stared at it, unable to find any words, but it was just as well. This moment was his for now.
“The world needs more Lowerys. We can have one. I can adopt one. Now, I just need to marry you to make you one. Will you marry me?”
“Yes! Of course, I will. Ah, Aspen.”
There was applause suddenly all around them and Amanda turned to see a number of the pack and Mouse had snuck into their room, no doubt on cue from Aspen. It was the first time she had been a part of a family for what seemed like a very long time and she couldn’t be happier.
Time would tell what would become of this child, of this pack, of her. It was a journey she was more than willing to take. It was, in fact, the one dream she never had known she really should have been having all along. She wiped away her tears and kissed Aspen, bringing about another round of applause. Pulling away from him, she turned toward the gathered crowd and held up her hand to show off her ring.
“Well, now it’s a party! Let’s get it going!”
The party lasted well into the night. Though a careful watch remained in force by those who were assigned to keep things safe, there was still something in the air. It was a sense of foreboding. Amanda could feel it and she suspected that Aspen could feel it, as well.
“Do you think they are out there, watching us?” she asked Aspen as she wandered near the window.
“I wouldn’t doubt it. They need intel and we’ve slowly eliminated the leaks in our pack since finding out we had a rat. I would imagine they are always watching, waiting. That’s why we still have to be careful.”
“I get so scared sometimes. I’m not you. I can’t shift into a wolf to protect myself, you, our baby. I can’t do anything.”
“You don’t have to. You are well protected here with these guys. We don’t have their numbers, but we have experience and we have heart. Honor is on our side. The townspeople of Rio Lobos may not realize it, but there is a reason this place was named Wolf River by the Spaniards who founded it. It has always been full of wolves and our kind was here long before theirs.”
“Still, it’s so dangerous.”
“Yes, but now we have a new hope. Our biggest concern has never been fear of attack by the Dire Wolves, not until recently. We have feared that we would simply go extinct. It is part of the reason we began accepting strays that roamed in from other places. We needed the numbers however we could get them, and they needed new families. Unfortunately, some of them turned out to be loyal only to whoever offers them the most and whatever the Dire Wolves offered them seemed to be more than we could.”
“I hope he won’t be the only child. Do you think there will be others?”
“I don’t know if anyone else in this pack will have a child. I can’t say for sure if the curse is just broken with you for some unknown reason or if it has been lifted from the entire pack. Time will tell. Based on the efforts of some of these couples, I’d say we’ll know pretty damned soon,” he laughed.
“Yes, it’s been a bit like a house of ill repute around here lately the way some of these couples have been going at it,” she laughed.
“Including you and us are already pregnant,” he laughed. “If I can tell you anything, I can tell you that whether anyone else in this pack has a baby, we’ll have a whole litter to make up for it.”
“Litter? I think you might have gone mad.”
“What? You don’t want to have enough babies for a football team?”
“I was thinking more along the lines of a duo, a trio, at best.”
Aspen laughed and pulled her close to him, kissing her on the cheek as he spoke to her softly.
“I hope you know I’m just teasing, mostly.”
Mouse appeared beside them and smiled broadly. She was putting on her jacket and Aspen looked at her suspiciously.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“I just want to get a breath of fresh air, is that okay?” she asked.
Aspen looked around and motioned for one of the members to come over.
“Can you step outside with Mouse and let her get some air?”
“I can go out there by myself, Aspen,” she laughed.
“Not as long as Dire Wolves are roaming around sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong,” he told her.
Mouse smiled at him and leaned forward to kiss him lightly on the cheek before doing the same to Amanda.
“I always wanted overprotective parents. What the hell was I thinking?”
They laughed as the stepped out the door and stood looking out into the woods that surrounded the clubhouse. Aspen watched from behind at the window, apparently anxious.
“I don’t like her going out there in the night.”
“Aspen, she’s just on the front porch, not roaming around the forest. I think you might need another drink.”
“I think I might,” he laughed, following Amanda toward the bar.
***
Outside in the darkness, there was movement. It was almost indiscernible to the naked eye, but it was there. Something was definitely afoot and the only question was not if the Dire Wolves would come for them, but when. The pack was as prepared as they could be for something like this. The Dire Wolves were a massive pack. Whereas no children had been born in the Silver Wolves club for the twenty-five years since, many had been born to the Dire Wolves and they were young and strong.
This should be their territory, all of it and they intended to take it. Then, there was the matter of their dead VP to deal with. They had let it lie, for now, but the time was coming for revenge to be taken on the one who had murdered him. The new VP shifted back to his human form, standing alone in the darkness as he waved the others to return to their homes. He stood naked in the cover of woods and looked at the Silver Wolves clubhouse.
