“I know, and it’s improved relations between shifters and humans alike in Creeksboro.”
“That’s great, but are you asking me to be your mate?”
“You’ve been my mate since you came to Silver Creek, you just didn’t know it.” He winked. “But only if you want that.”
“Of course I do, you silly alpha,” Tessa gushed. “I love you, too. I just never thought I’d ever hear you say those words. Are you sure you want a vampire for a mate?” She frowned then. “You know I probably can’t give you any children, right?”
“I told you before I don’t care about that. Raising Maxwell is going to keep us busy enough, especially when we need to hone him to his new role of alpha when he grows up.”
“How about you just let him be a little boy for now,” Tessa told him. She couldn’t believe he actually wanted her as his mate! She scrambled across the blanket and threw herself into his arms. When their mouths met, they fused together with a messing of lips and tongue.
Tessa tugged up his shirt, and he said, “Are you sure you’re recovered enough for this?”
She leaned down, her hair framing his face as she straddled his lap. “Are you going to refuse me now?”
“If you’re still injured, yes.”
“I’m fine,” she breathed into his ear then stood up, nearly toppling over. “Let’s go for a swim.” She raced off toward the stream, leaving a trail of clothing on her way. By the time she was at the water’s edge and pulled down her panties, Raphael grabbed her and threw her in the middle of the stream.
“Agh!” she screamed. She popped up and out of the water, her nipples stiff peaks with goosebumps covering her entire body.
Raphael entered next to her and she playfully slapped water in his face.
“This cold water won’t do anything for that hard cock I just saw a moment ago.”
“Oh, I never knew you were so concerned about my, err, manliness.” He roared in laughter. “It will come back soon enough.”
He pulled her to him and they waded in deeper, his strong arm circling her waist. As they kissed, his fingers ran up her sides until she almost fell over. That did it to her every time and he knew it! Raphael buried his tongue between her lips and she wondered if he planned to enter her that way.
She pulled away for a breath and he took one of her breasts in his hand, rolling the nipple with his finger. He then bent his head and took it into his mouth, suckling it quite gently until she felt his teeth! She didn’t reel back from the pain, though. Instead, she leaned into it, tolerating it to a degree as it sent shockwaves between her legs, creating the familiar pull of her arousal.
Reaching for his cock, Tessa circled her fingers around it and moved with hard tugs until Raphael penetrated her with a hard push of his fingers. She wrapped her hands around him, enjoying the sensations he was creating when he suddenly lifted her out of the water and onto his hard cock. He had a firm grip on her slippery ass somehow as he thrust into her tightness. She loved the way he took charge and filled her. She tried to pivot her hips, but she really had no control like this. She knew he loved it that way.
He carried her out of the water and to the blanket. Setting her down, he shook the blanket until the food flew off it, laying her down, and spreading her thighs widely. Raphael smiled up at her as he took his place between them, using a well-placed tongue to lap her slowly. Hot liquid fire spread in her loins as he circled her clit, but when he sucked on it, she lost all thought.
She couldn’t see.
She couldn’t think.
All she could do was work her fingers into his hair, yanking on it hard so he’d stay put. She spiraled out of control as an orgasm pulsed through her.
When finally she was able to think logically again and lifted her head, Raphael had a smile across his face, the smile of an alpha that had just pleased his mate immensely. He ran his fingers up to her breasts and trailed them down, being sure not to miss the sides of her abdomen where she was the most sensitive.
His eyes darkened as he entered her with his fingers, fucking her hard until she was screaming. He then took ahold of her and positioned her on her hands and knees. She welcomed his cock when he pushed forward and speared her, working her up yet again toward that final orgasm, which would not only send her over the edge, but him as well.
In the aftermath, they spooned together on the blanket, laughing as raccoons made off with their remaining food.
“At least it’s not a bear,” Tessa commented.
“Shhh, they might hear you. But I think your screams already woke up every animal in Wyoming anyway.”
“Oh, please,” Tessa said as she sat up. “I wasn’t that loud, was I?”
“Actually, yes.”
He pulled her up and they dressed, walking hand in hand through the woods with the stars and moon overhead, lighting their way. She was so very happy, and the alpha beside her had made her the happiest vampire in the world.
EPILOGUE
Seth was sitting near the fire. He had healed nicely with his nursemaid Carrie at his side. In a big way, they had taken care of each other. They sat near one another holding hands.
“So, Seth,” Tessa began. “Are we ever going to hear how you suddenly are a full-blood werewolf?”
“I’m not, obviously, but there was a hunting trip not long ago when what I thought was a rabid wolf bit me. It wasn’t long afterward that I started to feel strange. I guess that’s why I was acting so weird.”
“Did you go to the doctor?” Katlyn asked.
“I finally went to see Dr. Evans.”
“And when I told him what I thought it would mean,” Jerome interjected, “I don’t think he believed me.”
“It wasn’t a full-blood who bit you?” Tessa asked.
“No, the wolf wasn’t that big and was white.”
“You can’t be saying there might just be another breed of werewolf out there?” Tessa asked.
“Could be. Neither a full-blood nor half-blood can turn a human into a werewolf that I know of,” Jerome explained.
“That’s just lovely. I hope at least this time these werewolves don’t decide to take over Creeksboro, too,” Paige said. “But if they do, Tessa and I are ready.”
“I still can’t believe that the full-bloods intended to take all the shifters over in this area and try to kill all the humans,” Tessa said.
“In their defense, not all of them are like that,” Raphael countered. “And none of the full-bloods I knew were among them.”
“Well, hopefully by the time Maxwell is of age, he’ll find a way to bring peace to all of the werewolves,” Tessa said.
She looked over at Seth and Carrie. “You sure look happy, you two.”
“It seems to be going around,” Seth replied. “Now all we need to do is find Paige and Angus a mate.”
Angus cleared his throat. “Leave me out of it, and I can’t think of any shifter who would ever want to settle down with a llama shifter. We don’t exactly throw off the ‘come and get it’ vibes.”
“Perhaps it won’t be a shifter,” Tessa said. “You need to leave yourself open to the possibilities.”
Paige tipped her wine glass back. “I’m with Angus here; I have no intention of becoming involved with anyone. My mating days are behind me.”
“And I’m happy with my life the way it is,” Angus added. “You’ve all proved to me how complicated love can be.”
“Yes,” Brendan agreed. “But in a fun kind of way, right, Katlyn?”
She laughed and gently touched the cheeks of her sleeping sons in a playpen not far away.
Tessa had to smile. There was so much love in the room it was hard to believe they had just had the fight of their lives. Carrie was moving to Silver Creek to be with Seth so Maxwell and Melody wouldn’t be separated. In many ways, they needed each other. Life for the moment was complete, and Tessa had learned a valuable lesson about trusting the ones she loved and acceptance. As she snuggled into Raphael and gazed into his e
yes, she was reminded just how lucky she was.
