The Wolf With The Silver Smile (The Silver Series)

by Samantha Bates

  Going back to the mirror after they left she was amazed at the new her, she had never felt so pampered and looked after. After making herself a sandwich, she was not quite sure what to do with herself with no tasks to complete. It took her a while to relax she was so unused to being somewhere safe that she felt unsafe; when she finally managed to turn the TV on after fiddling with so many buttons, she promptly fell asleep.

  Chapter 3 -

  Nicky had been working at one of the bars situated near the business sector; it had always been one of his favorites so he was happy to help out. Apparently when Nicky had arrived at the pack meeting late, he learned that in his absence it had been decided that he would get involve himself in running the bars. His party lifestyle had been noted as giving him the opportunity to put his knowledge to beneficial use. Out of all of the bars Silver owned, Oasis was his favorite, it was a bar predominantly frequented by other species where he kept up to date on the happenings around the City.

  With a large main bar area there was plenty of seating and a fairly decent sized dance floor. Decorated in pale blue there were enough windows to ensure that the place was bright and airy. The wooden paneling around the front of the bar was rounded and stretched across the room. With a pool table to one side they had previously held pool tournaments here, although they hadn't done so for a while. Since helping out here Nicky had noticed that there were fewer people coming in, he was pretty sure it had something to do with the new wine bar across the road.

  Since the pack meeting he had worked every day, but that was going to change now that Seb and Julian had arrived. With his orange hair and glasses, people often mistook Julian for a wimpy geek, and then they were surprised at his quick movements and physical strength. Seb on the other hand looked like a holiday dream boy; although he was short for a wolf, his dark skin and brown eyes gave him a seductive Mediterranean look.

  The life of a wolf was hard, having three primary functions feeding, mating and protecting the pack, his wolf liked to get these met on a regular basis although wolf was sadly missing the mating part. It was essential for a wolf to find its mate; the only problem with this is that the wolf only recognizes their mate after sex. This meant that wolves actually did have to sleep around; Nicky had no idea of the exact number of women he had bedded, although this sounded unfair to the woman involved and on occasions they were upset when he left, Nicky was always up front and told them that he was not looking for a long term relationship, yet he was willing to give them untold pleasure in the meantime. It always worked, gods his life was hard.

  As Nicky handed the keys to Lisa who helped out part time, he smiled and headed out to play.

  "Right fellow wolfs, let's go."

  Julian smiled and clapped Nicky on the back. "I suggest we head to Silver's and find you some fun."

  Julian and Seb had been his friends for years, they had run together as pups and both had fought and played hard with him over the years. As they wandered across the road to the wine bar for a quick drink, Nicky saw some beautiful women head in and thought the night was looking up already.

  By the time Nicky arrived at Silver's he had drunk too much yet not enough, as a shifter he could get as drunk as the next person it just took a hell of a lot more alcohol, which for Nicky meant that he drank quicker. Silver's was busy every Friday and Saturday night, as a club it was huge. Spanning three floors it catered to most tastes, each floor had a slightly different theme to it although obviously the color silver featured in each.

  The ground floor was predominantly for those that wanted to have some fun, with an open stage and sturdy tables, people could drink and dance the night away to pop music from the past and present.

  The second floor catered to those that liked to dance the night away to the most up to date music, it also housed the clubs VIP lounge. For those people that wanted a more serene night or felt the need to talk to their companions the third floor was the place to be, with its low lighting, tables of various sizes and background music, it's was a place where you could chat to friends or get to know a woman.

  Tonight Nicky ended up on the first floor chatting to a red head, who was now planting little kisses across his jaw whilst grinding herself against his groin. She was pretty and sexy, with breasts slightly too large and almost falling out of a little low cut black dress. Nicky already had an erection actually he was always semi-erect, but he wasn't feeling terribly patient tonight. It had been nearly ten days since he had sated his sexual needs met and that was a record for him, tonight he had a plan and it involved hard, fast sex.

  "Hey sweet heart how about we take this somewhere more private?"

  When she nodded, Nicky told her to keep that thought and went through to Ben's office looking for the spare key to the apartment here. Since Ben had met Lucky he never stayed over always preferring to go home to her and the kids. Nicky didn't use it often, he preferred to go back to the woman's place, it was always easier to sneak out of someone else's place than your own. Although highly sexual, few pack members brought casual partner's home, Silver's land was a sanctuary and only truly for pack members and close friends. The older pack members also felt that bringing strangers back would be a negative influence on the younger pups.

  Nicky looked everywhere, he checked Ben's drawers, his cupboard and desk but the key wasn't there. Well plan A was out, now to try plan B, her place. When Nicky went back she was still waiting as he knew she would be, it turned out that she only lived round the corner so that would work. As they went out into the cold night, Nicky noticed she was shivering and gave her his jacket, his wolf didn't feel the cold. Why the hell did she come out without a coat, for a human it was freezing, he never understood women? She turned to kiss him as they reached a block of apartments.

  "Say my name Nicky." Shit what was her name? Had she even told him?

  "Oh baby, you burn me up so much my brain doesn't work enough to remember thoughts, let alone names." He ran his hands down her back, sliding his hand up her naked thighs.

  As he slipped his hands inside his jacket to touch her breasts, he could feel her nipples harden as he stroked them through her clothes. "Amber, my name is Amber."

  As he murmured her name she let out a moan, he moved his head lower kissing her neck. He could feel and hear her pulse next to his lips, her scent sweet and tangy. "Open the door...Amber."

  She opened the door and they kissed their way up to the third floor, by the time they had reached the door she had taken off the jacket and he had started to unbuckle his jeans. When the door opened, he pushed her inside, turning to shut the door while pulling off his shirt.

  "Wow! It's gorgeous" He knew she was talking about his back and in involuntary shiver rippled through him.

  For wolf shifters, transformation to wolf started in adolescence, at the same time they developed what looked like a huge tattoo across their back. Initially an outline, by the time the wolf was fully formed inside the person the picture on the back was complete. For Nicky his wolf was a sandy color with blue eyes, as a person Nicky was generally laid back and relaxed, his wolf was the same, even the marking on his back showed a wolf that always seemed to be smiling.

  He heard her move up behind him and knew she was going to touch it, some wolves loved the touch, yet Nicky's didn't. Touch on his back had always made him cringe. His wolf was sacred to him, he didn't shift on command as some of his friends did, he was not a party piece and his wolf didn't like the intimate touches.

  Instead he turned as she came closer; picking her up he sat her on the table just in front of them. He continued kissing her as he lifted her legs to slip off her heels, he contemplated leaving them on but shit it would save time later; he lifted her bottom slightly so he could slide her panties down. Sliding his hands up her long smooth legs starting at the foot to the top of her thigh, he ended as his thumb gently touched on her nub. As she moaned, he slid two fingers inside, wanting to move things along, to reach that release.

  "More Nicky, more."


  As he slid a third finger inside of her, he used his other hand to pull her closer, and she pulled her dress down so he could pay attention to her breasts. Bending his mouth he gently sucked on her nipple, while pumping his fingers in and out of her. He knew she was close, but Nicky wanted to feel his own release and unless he made sure she was ready neither would enjoy this. Dropping to his knees he bent his mouth to her, he knew he was big and that wasn't Nicky being arrogant, he feared hurting a woman and if she wasn't ready he knew he would hurt her.

  While Nicky didn't mind using his tongue on a woman, over the years he had listened to friends rave about it, yet he had never truly seen the fascination. He did it to make the ride easier on both of them. As he probed her with his tongue she was grabbing his hair, her moans increasing to a high ear piercing squeal.

  "Harder, harder, oh God I am close."

  He was not overly keen on loud women but as a rule he wasn't fussy enough to make an issue of it, he already knew she was close which would end the banshee like noise emanating from her mouth. As he felt the orgasm rock through her, he stood and plunged into her wet and waiting body. This was the part Nicky loved, as she clenched herself around him, he took a breather pulled back and started pumping into her in a hard and fast rhythm. She came for a second time almost piercing his ear drums with her wailing, his wolf cringed deep inside of him.

  "Now, say my name!" As she shrieked, Nicky released himself without saying her name. He always felt more relaxed and sated after sex, clearly so did she as she leaned against the table.

  "Wow that was amazing." Sitting, she nuzzled into his neck, kissing and nipping at the crook towards his shoulders.

  For some reason Nicky now felt sober and uncomfortable, as nice as it would be to walk out he resisted the urge. He wanted to leave, his wolf was pushing for him to leave but that would be rude and uncouth, something Nicky wasn’t.

  "How about we take this to the bedroom?"

  He felt his wolf shirk away from her, the howl inside informing him of how much his wolf genuinely wanted to leave. Nicky would not have been so crass as to leave immediately, so he made them both coffee saying he needed the caffeine. Amber took this as a sign and decided to grab a quick shower; he gently declined when she asked him to join her even though she tried persuasion. His feet were itching, taking the opportunity he found some paper and a pen, after scribbling a note citing a family emergency he left to go home.

  As the night air hit him Nicky decided to run home, his wolf had been agitated for a few days the normal satisfaction from sex deserted him tonight. Tonight Nicky wanted to let the wolf run free, putting his jacket on he took a deep breath, inhaling the slightly smoggy smell of the New York air. Shifters didn't have magic per se, although some of them were gifted with extra abilities, but when a shifter transformed to their animal magically their clothing remained safe somewhere, when they changed back they were wearing the same clothing. It had saved many shifters the embarrassment of winding up naked in some inappropriate place.

  As he shifted to wolf, he felt the bone crunching and sighed deep inside himself. The first transformation was painful while the body adapted, as the person became more accustomed to the feelings it slowly became one of pleasure. As he dropped to all fours Nicky ran back to Silvers land, the run barely pushing the wolf. This was the only time both man and wolf felt utterly relaxed, the 70 acres of land were pretty much everything they needed to survive providing acres of space to run free in safety.

  The exhilaration of the run was incredible, his limbs now felt stretched and comfortable. As he reached the woods of the pack he saw the guarded gates and slowed a little, but tonight he didn't stop to chat to the wolves on duty. He could feel the surrounding cold cover him safely like a glove, the sound of the forest in his ears, the animals around him called out to him with ease. Some of the wild wolves that roamed the woods joined him, they were no threat to anyone on the land, this land was as much theirs as Silvers and they had an unspoken agreement to protect each other. His wolf could smell his house and as Nicky slowed his run, he knew Ben was there, waiting outside and also in wolf form.

  As he got closer to the house Ben came out to meet him, as the Alpha, Ben's wolf was bigger than him by about a hand. Ben barreled into him in a playful gesture; Nicky swiped back and ran off. Ben chased after him and together they ran through the woods both in wolf form chasing the animals and sharing their space with the wild wolves. Nicky ran through the stream and veered off, he knew Ben had stopped to track him and he knew when Ben had picked up the track again. Nicky arrived back at the house and shifted, when Ben arrived Nicky was sat on the porch steps waiting.

  "You took your time." Neither brother was tired; both were relaxed and content to be in each other's company.

  Ben shifted smiling. "You're still fast baby brother."

  Nicky laughed in the knowledge that he was the fastest wolf in the pack. "And you're still huge."

  Ben came to sit beside him. "We should do that more often; I didn't realize how much I had missed running with you."

  Nicky sighed. "I know but you're always busy with work, Lucky and the kids, and I'm always busy with my things like drinking and having a life."

  "Maybe we should make the time."

  "What's going on Ben?" As much as he loved his brother he knew something was on his mind.

  "You tell me Nicky, you have always been so relaxed and carefree, thing is I want you to step up and take over some of the bars. Now before you say it, I know you're an enjoy life type of guy but you need to take some responsibility."

  He knew it was unfair to take his now shitty mood out on Ben, his brother had a massive amount of responsibility but Nicky honestly didn't see the need for it to pass to him. He had always worked in the bars when he was needed, hell a man had to live and he would never live off his brother, so he did work, but he really only did what he needed to do.

  "Ben you are the brain and brawn, I am the fun and laughter."

  Ben sighed again. "You don't seem like fun and laughter right now, actually for a while you have seemed fidgety and uncomfortable."

  Looking at the sky lit by the moon that was shining down on them, Nicky wasn't quite sure what he wanted to say, until tonight he would have denied this. "I am, my wolf is agitated and I feel I don't know… I would almost say bored, yet if I am honest, I have never suffered from boredom."

  His words made Ben laugh. "No you haven't, you have always made your own entertainment."

  Looking around him surrounded by woods life should be clear, he had some great friends and family here yet it was no longer enough.

  "I wonder if I should've taken off after college like you did." Many wolves spent some time roaming, seeing a bit more of life and travelling. Nicky had never wanted to do that, he loved living in New York and with the pack, yet reflecting on his life to date he wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do.

  "Nicky you still could do that, but do you really think that's what you need?"

  "Not really, oh I don't know. Shit, forget about it I must have drunk more than I thought." He ran his hands through his hair, talking out loud just confirmed his feelings and lack of interest in what was happening around him.

  "Maybe, but the board want to see you more involved and it won't be long before you won't have a choice left."

  The board consisted of the prominent members of Silver along with the pack elders, meeting every month the board oversaw the businesses, looked at how the pack was running and made some of the more significant decisions. Before the board met, the pack was invited to a full pack meeting, so that each person could voice any concerns and identify the agenda for the board meeting.

  He knew the board wanted him to be more involved in the business, and before Ben had the boys he understood why, but now? Well he didn't see the point, he had no one relying on him, his nephews would take over eventually and until then, Ben had everything under control.

  "Well I suppose I will have to, we will see. I'm
going to go to bed I will see you in the morning. Oh before I forget I wanted the keys for the apartment at Silver's tonight but I couldn't find them."

  "Well my lovely wife, decided to hire me a new PA today and apparently the apartment now comes with the job."

  He knew that Lucky was helping Ben at the club and he knew that she wasn't great, so hiring someone would make sense. Giving them the apartment did not make sense. Thinking about a PA dressed in a short black skirt, a low hung red top and the keys to the apartment close by, mmmm there were possibilities.

  "Is she hot?"

  Ben laughed at him. "You have a one track mind; I can't say I really looked at her."

  "Of course not, you only see Lucky; no other woman compares yada yada yada. I think I may need to come see you at work tomorrow."
