Pack Secrets

by Shannon Duane

  “Carter, give your mom that thing I had you hold for me at the moon run. You still have it don’t you?”

  “Yup, I gots it.”

  The boy bent down and untied his shoe and removed something from the laces. “Here it is.”

  Not able to contain his chuckle, Justin asked, “You kept it tied in your shoelace?”

  “Yeah, I’m smart. I had missus Delilah put it on in a special knot and she showed me how to get it out. It’s sure pretty.”

  “I hope your mama agrees.” He turned toward Dee and presented her with the ring. “I knew you were mine when I saw you, but your perfume delayed the realization. I wasn’t able to stay away, and now that you’ve mated me, you’re kinda stuck with me. Let’s make it as official as possible and get married. I want you to wear my ring and my scent for all to see.” He rubbed his cheek in her hair, transferring his scent to her.

  Dee was crying as Justin and Carter both placed the ring on her finger. She tried to hold in the tears, but they refused to stop.

  Carter was smiling initially, but became quite agitated the more she cried. “No way, give it back Mama. I’ll take it away and put it back on my shoe. Mister Justin you said it’d make Mama happy, but she don’t look happy ta me. Give it back.” His scowl was fierce.

  He reached for her hand and attempted to pull the ring off. When she laughed and smiled, he stopped and gave her a confused look. “Paw Paw, somethin’s wrong with Mama. Is she sick or somethin’?”

  Bringing Carter closer to sit on his lap, Justin explained. “She’s happy, I think. Sometimes when you’re really happy you cry because you are so full of joy. I think your mama is just full of happiness and that’s why she’s crying. Right, Dee?”

  She nodded her head, not trusting her voice at the moment.

  “Woo hoo, Mama. I haveta go call Trevor, he says this was gonna happen, but I didn’t trust him. I never heared of someone knowin’ what was fixin’ ta happen afore it does. Way cool, and he’s my friend. We’re gonna be friends forever.” He stopped in thought for a moment. When he turned around his eyes were red and almost spilling over with tears. “Mister Justin, I don’t think I can be your man at the wedding. I mean, Trevor is way cooler than me.”

  Shaking his head in denial, Justin asked, “Maybe I can have two best men standing up for me. After all, you’re my best man and Trevor is a very good friend. What do you think?”

  After another round of fist pumping, Carter shouted his agreement and ran into the house to call his friend. Their chuckling tapered off and a hint of arousal clung to his mate. “I wish we had a moment because I would ravage you right here in the yard. Make you come screaming my name while my cock was so deep in you.”

  Her face flushed and her voice was heavy with emotion. “I’ll have to call my mom and dad to let them know there will be a wedding soon. Maybe they can watch Carter for a few days. I think we need to bond a bit more. I need my scent to be saturated on your skin.” Her voice was low and hesitant as she asked. “Do you think I can mark you too? I know you marked me, quite thoroughly I might add, but I’d like to have you carry my mark.”

  Not able to prevent the growl that came out of his mouth he leaned over and placed his lips at the shell of her ear. “Baby, I’d love for you to sink your fangs deep into my flesh as I make love to you, claiming me as yours forever as I’ve already claimed you in the same way.”

  “There’s a girl down the street that I use for babysitting. Maybe I could see if she wants to watch Carter tonight.”

  He pulled out his cell phone, “What’s her number, I’ll call her now.”

  After a full day of running as wolves, Justin and Carter came back home to get ready for Carter’s sleepover. The anticipation Justin had felt all day had him coming home a bit sooner just to scent his woman, his mate. He’d called Blake and let him know that another wedding would be coming soon. He’d also called his parents and Paul who promptly bought their plane tickets to return. Dee was in for a surprise; he wouldn’t waste another minute not being her husband.

  “Honey, we’re home.” He announced when Carter came trucking through the sliding glass door straight to his room.

  “In the kitchen.”

  The anticipation of seeing her was eating at him so he sped up his pace. She was sitting at the table, head hanging over a book, pencil in her hair and calculator near.

  Picking her up out of the chair he sat with her in his lap and nuzzled her neck. “I missed you so much beautiful. Did you save some kisses for you mate”

  Positioning herself so she was straddling his lap she twisted her hands into his hair and fused their lips together. They fed off each other for a few minutes before Carter announced, “Eew, yucky. Paw, Mama’s gonna give you cooties. Didn’t your mama tell ya about cooties?”

  Laughing outright Justin responded with, “You can’t get cooties from mothers. Only other girls have cooties and you’re not supposed to tell them that they have cooties. You ready to go?”

  “No, I gotsta call Trevor before I go. I always says hi to him.”

  “Use the phone in here and then I’ll take you over to Alpha house.”

  Dee pulled back and looked into his eyes. “Alpha house?”

  Oops, he must have forgotten to tell her. “My family is flying in todayand they said they’d love to get to know him-not Blake, of course. My parents are great with kids, not to mention that Paul and Bailey are back in town. I’m really sorry I forgot to tell you.”

  “Are you sure they want to watch him? They probably want to sightsee and visit. I hope he’s not in the way.”

  Justin shrugged, “Nah, they came for us anyway. They want to help plan the wedding and be a part of our lives. I hope you don’t mind.”

  She didn’t say anything but he could scent her nerves.

  “Don’t worry, kitten, they’ll love you. They’ve already spoken to Carter and he’s super excited to meet his new grandma and grandpa. His words not mine.”

  She bit her bottom lip and nibbled it until he couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled her lip from her punishing teeth and kissed it gently. “I love you. Carter will be fine, we’ll be fine.”

  She smiled and gave him a chaste kiss in return. “Thank you. I love you too. When will we be getting hitched? Have you set a date without me?”

  “No, my family can be a bit…overwhelming. They didn’t want to miss anything.”

  She chuckled, “I’m sure I’ll get used to it.”

  He nuzzled her again, licking her neck. “You will.”

  Chapter 9

  “I’m glad we finally got out of there. Did you know your family was going to throw us an engagement party? It was very sweet, but the whole time I was wondering when I could get home to seduce you.”

  Justin chuckled before admitting. “If I’d have known, I’d have just dropped Carter off with the neighbor. I want to play with my pretty kitty, make her purr. They stole four hours of possible nookie from me. I hope you don’t plan on sleeping tonight because little Justin has been a very patient boy. He’s hungry now.”

  Her eyes widened at the bulge in his pants and her scent changed. “Can you pull over the car? I don’t think I can wait.”

  “You can wait, mate. It won’t be much longer.”

  He drew in a sharp breath and pulled the steering wheel sharp to the right when Dee’s hand came down on his pant covered erection and began rubbing back and forth. He put the break on, “You’re playing with fire. We could be home in ten minutes.”

  She leaned over the console, licking the seam of his lips while rhythmically rubbing his cock. “I’m not waiting. Follow me.”

  Before he had a chance to respond, she was out of the car and running toward the dense forested area. He followed her scent in the dark and found her naked sitting on the side of a fallen tree. Her left leg was propped up on the tree and her hands were behind her pushing her breasts out and up. He stared at her pale skin as it was touched by the moonlight. She was absolutely gorgeou
s, his siren.

  “Are you just going to stand there all night?” She sent him a wicked smile, “Or maybe you want to watch?”

  Her left hand came forward to cup her breast and gently roll the nipple. Her head fell back on her shoulders and she moaned her delight. She brought her head up she looked him in the eye as she trail her hand down her slightly rounded stomach to her mound. She spread the lips of her sex, dipped her finger in her moisture and proceeded to rub her clit. He watched rapt as she rubbed her swollen nub. He knew she’d been primed all night because he could smell her readiness, but he never expected her to tease him.

  Unable to help himself, he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants and released his straining erection. He’d been on the edge for hours smelling her need. It was making him crazy with want. He watched her finger become saturated in her musk and he damn near shouted when she inserted it into her channel. He watched her delicate finger get lost in her folds, her hips moving in the most enticing rhythm. Grabbing the base of his erection and squeezing he felt the bead of moisture release as he firmly pumped his hand over his manhood.

  He couldn’t interrupt her even if he wanted to; she was clearly lost in her own pleasure, riding her hand like it was his cock. He approached slowly, whispering dirty things to her, increasing her arousal as he pumped himself closer to orgasm. Her eyes were open showing him a hint of her cat as she moved in a sensual rhythm.

  “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve never acted like this before.”

  He shushed her as he reached up and palmed her breast kneading the tissue while plucking at her puckered nipple. Not able to help himself he rubbed the head of his cock along her folds and tapped her swollen clit lightly, causing her to moan and writhe harder against him. The head of his erection slipped in and she put both of her legs around him and tugged him closer until he was fully seated in her sheath. His pelvis was hitting her clit and after a few hard pumps of his hips they were both screaming their release.

  He buried his nose in her hair and held her close. Inhaling deeply he stiffened when he understood what was probably causing her behavior. He’d originally thought it was the mating, but he now knew it was something else entirely. Shit.

  Panicking as he stiffened she asked, “Was I too forward? I’ve never been like that before. I’ve never wanted anyone like I want you. It’s not even want, Justin, I need you.”

  She could scent his anxiety and wondered if he was upset because she was acting kinda slutty. Who knew she could act this way? Normally she was very restrained. Heck, until Justin she hadn’t had sex outside of a bed. She knew he liked to dominate and he was extremely verbal during sex. She shuttered as he pulled out of her, cursing that she was still aroused, maybe more than when they started.

  “It's fine, Dee.”

  Dee, not kitten. She’d obviously done something wrong. Pulling out of his arms, she bent to retrieve her clothes on the ground. “I’ll just get dressed and meet you at the car. It’ll only take a minute.”

  “Do you want kids?”

  She stilled. “I have a kid.”

  “That’s not what I asked Dee Marie. Do you want children?”

  She pivoted towards him. “What’s with you? I’m sorry I was too horny to wait, it won’t happen again.”

  Not giving her a chance to back away he pulled her in close for a tight hug. “I’m mucking this up. I don’t mean to upset you. You’re a fabulous lover and this was unexpectedly awesome. I just, think…maybe…”

  “It was too much?”

  “No, let me finish. I think you’re in the beginning stage of heat. I want to know if you want more children, if not I’ll buy condoms. I don’t want to rush you.” He knew that condoms didn’t always work with shifters, but he’d try if she wanted. “Or I’ll pull out.”

  She stepped out of his arms to survey her body. Damn, he was right. Her nipples had been pebbled for the last two hours, her sex was still soaking and the more she thought of him the wetter it became. Not to mention the fact that they’d just had sex and she wanted to go again. She felt empty. “But it’s not time for my heat.”

  “Sometimes when a shifter meets their mate it can spark a heat cycle. I only know because I work at the hospital and I’ve heard the doctors laughing about it.”

  She should have known when they were caught by Blake making out in one of the bathrooms and she hissed at him. She actually hissed at her alpha. Luckily he’d laughed it off and was able to drag them both back to the party where he’d told everyone what they were up to.

  “It’ll be okay, kitten, we’ll get through this. It’s not a big deal. We can wait to have more kids.”

  He’d said more kids, not just kids; he’d so easily accepted Carter. His acknowledgment had her heart swell with love. “I love kids. I want more and I’m ready when you are. There’s no rush, we have the rest of our lives, but I wouldn’t be upset if we started now.”

  Not able to control his wolf he growled at her while running his tongue over her mate mark, causing her to shiver in his arms. “You’ve done it now, kitten. The wolf wants you. He wants you bent over, legs spread as he pumps into you from behind. We’ll mark you again as we make you scream your release. Are you ready?”

  Unable to form a sentence, she simply licked her lips and nodded. That’s all he must have been waiting for because in the next instant he had her on her hands and knees on the forest floor. Her bum was high in the air and she could feel the cool air all over her body. An instant later his warm breath caressed her lower back. Warm soft lips followed his heated breath making her produce so much cream it ran down her thigh. Her sex throbbed in time with her pulse. “Please…”

  His lips brushed the top of the crease of her ass, hot breath hugged her curves before she felt his teeth nip her buttock. Not able to hold herself back she moaned her delight and arched into him. His breath now trailed in between her thighs and she felt him blowing cold air against her a moment before he licked the petals of her sex. His tongue stroked while his hands ran up and down the back of her thighs. She could feel everything he gave her and she ground into him silently demanding more.

  A moment later she was shocked when the hand that had been circling her opening came down hard on her ass cheek. She felt the sting and expected to be upset as he rubbed the sting away with the palm of his hand; instead her lynx embraced the small act of domination and wiggled further toward him, arching her back like the cat she was. She was literally a pussy in heat and she needed more. She craved him filling her while he whispered naughty things in her ear. Things no lover had ever said. She didn’t think she was one for naughty bedroom talk but from the get go Justin had her cat purring from simple softly spoken words.

  He nuzzled the crease between her ass and her thigh. “Do you like that, kitten? Do you want me to fill you up? Pump into you until you’re screaming my name and milking my soaking cock. Already, your juices flow for me, wetting my passage.”

  A hand landed on her other butt cheek and instead of soothing the ache he roughly shoved two thick fingers into her needy channel. “So wet for me. Should I let you come now or make you beg? Will you beg for me?”

  The slurping sounds as he fingered her caused her to clench around him. “I won’t beg. You’ll give me what I want, mate, or you’ll sleep on the couch.”

  He chuckled, “I’ll sleep on the couch, but you’re so insatiable you’ll probably come to me.”

  Bloody hell, he was right. Even now she found herself pumping against his fingers and she hadn’t even realized she was cradling her breast, plucking at her nipple.

  “I have to say, I love the way your heat has you moving on me. I want you now, are you ready for me?”

  Instead of answering, she squeezed her internal muscles and groaned, dropping her head to watch what he was doing in-between her legs.

  Fuck, she was so responsive. Their mating was amazing and he’d thoroughly enjoyed himself. But this was not the same woman, with her dripping pussy and the hungry loo
k in her eyes begging for him to claim her; he was gone for her. Lifting higher, he positioned the head of his straining rod at her opening, rubbing back and forth to coat it in her sweet nectar. He enjoyed the strained sound of her voice as she begged him, “Please, Justin, I don’t want to wait.”

  Without giving him a chance to draw out her excitement she pushed back onto him to the hilt. Her warm walls contracted, while hugging his shaft perfectly. He could scent her release a moment away so he stilled. Holding her hips tight in his hands, he forced her to remain unmoving.

  She hissed her frustration as she tried to move in his grasp. He held her tight until she dropped her head and took a deep breath. “Can I continue with loving you or are you still too wild?”

  Her saucy reply was welcome. He loved her spice in the bedroom. He’d never be bored. “I thought you wolves liked a wild mate?”

  His growl stilled her, but she knew he wasn’t truly upset. “Not you wolves, you should only care about your wolf, me. And I do like you wild, in fact, I’m tempted to swat your ass and have you run so that I can chase you through the woods. We’ll save that for the moon run though.”

  She gasped, “You want me-“

  He cut her off, “I’ll always want you; under our roof or under the moon and stars. I will have you during the moon run,” He did swat her ass this time, “and you will enjoy every minute of it.”

  He began rocking his hips forward and into her at a steady pace, still not allowing her to move. The slurping and sucking sounds of their lovemaking were heightening his arousal. He released her hips to lean over her and palm both of her breasts as he lifted her upper half so that her back was against his chest. He played with her breasts for a time before he ran his hand down her body to stroke the curls protecting her sex.

  A tremor went through her body and she grabbed his thighs as he pumped into her. He felt her channel ripple giving him a clue as to how close she was. Not giving himself a second guess he tapped her swollen clit as he bit down on the still healing mate mark.
