“Sorry, but you’re about to find out what exhaustion really is.”
Her lifted Azure easily with one hand and pulled her dress right off. Something he’d wanted to do for hours. When she started to protest, he shushed her. “I’ve seen you melt all over your hand. I’ve tasted you sweet passion. I will have more of that, Azure, so much more.” He moved down her body, pressing his torso between her thighs as he went, smearing her arousal all over his flesh. “I’m bathing in you, Azure. Rubbing your musk in, can you feel it?”
“Y-yes.”
She wiggled, but he delivered a light smack to her bottom. “Quiet down.” He elongated his tongue, but not all the way, and sent a strong stroke right up the cleft of her ass. She squirmed, and he flipped her over, looking down at what was his. “There you are. You are sweating, Azure.”
“I want you.” She flushed at that, biting her lip, but she refused to look away.
“Umm, so you have a fearless side?”
“I don’t know about that.”
He dropped back down, nibbling over her mons, sliding his tongue inside the lacy elastic band. The sheerest fabric that was no barrier at all gave easily, moving down with every lap he took. “How long has it been, Azure? Who were you dreaming of?” He discretely tore through her panties with his canines and pulled her expert hand back to her pussy. “Back in, Love.” When she hesitated, he nipped her flesh, producing a yelp but a resounding rush he picked up with his Were hearing. “I would do anything to see you come by my hand.” He coaxed her fingers inside her sheath, working them alongside his. Her breaths were short and choppy, her mouth parted from panting.
“You’re already nearing another one. Wait for me, though. Fight it.” While still working her, she wasn’t in any shape to notice as he wished his pants away. His sex sprang proudly, jutting from crisp blonde hairs, ready to dip inside her scalding fist. “Push down. That’s it. Now arch your back. Oh, yeah.” He blew his heated breath down on his cock, teasing himself as he helped Azure masturbate. “Fuck your hand. Fuck. It.”
“Me, Gage.”
“What?”
She released a strangled moan, picking up her hips and letting them fall in quicker movements. So he increased his finger thrusting.
“Fuck me, Gage.”
Well, wasn’t that music to his powerful ears? “I have every intention of doing just that.” But Sayer was down stairs waiting patiently, or maybe impatiently, since he heard him pacing
“Please,” she begged, thrashing her head against his pillow.
“Keep your hand moving. That’s it. Good girl,” he praised though he wished it wasn’t just the heat talking, but understood all male werewolves dealt with this during initial claiming. So he had to remind himself that eventually, Azure would want sex from him because she wanted him as her man. “You’re too fucking beautiful, love, taking my breath away every time I look at you.” He moved up to her nipples, staring smugly as they poked through her thin bra. Nice fleshy breasts, not too large, but certainly not too small. “I’m running my tongue over every inch of your flesh.” He got right in her face, pressing his lips against hers. “Say you want that, too.”
“Please,” she repeated, massaging her slick pussy as he idly flicked her right nipple.
“I’d kill to fuck you. Kill for it, Azure.” He stayed at her face, needing to watch her eyes glaze over. He pulled her fingers from her sex and pushed his middle one in. Since he could dip farther than she was able to, he hit her sweet spot with frightening accuracy. She jumped, and her eyes widened beautifully. “Do you realize this intensity between us?” He watched her mouth open to form the perfect O, and he knew he was going to take it. But instead, he took her natural lubricant and headed to her forbidden hole. “Listen to me, Azure.” She tried to push him off, but it wasn’t happening. Not when they both needed this so badly. “Don’t try so hard to think about it. It’s more of a wait and feel thing. Do you hear the truth in my words?”
“Maybe,” she gasped as his first knuckle cleared her tight ring. “Ass action can be so much fun, Love. And I am going to explore yours thoroughly. Put your hand back in your wetness. Oh, yeah, that looks beautiful.” He pressed his second finger in, both up to his first knuckles, staying inside that tight ring where it burned on entry.
It had taken Azure a minute before she started finger fucking herself again. “I don’t…”
“Oh, Azure, don’t tell me your ashamed of yourself.” He nipped his mate’s chin in the way males do, instinctual. “I won’t believe it.” His Beast was close to taking over, so close.
“I’ve had anal regularly. I just didn’t like it. Oh, damn,” she groaned and broke off with some serious throaty mewls when his third finger entered her backside. Still, he kept them at one knuckle, snaking around that tight ring, loosening.
She had been thoroughly fucked there. He doubted he would have to prime her all that much, but it would still be a snug fit with gallons of lube considering Gage and Sayer were far larger than human males. A sharp pain would occur if he were to plunge in with his loaded cock, so for that, he would prepare her.
“Ah, see, you didn’t have the right man to show you anal. Cause, Azure, I’m beginning to think you like it. Fight the orgasm. Fight against it. You’ll burn higher in the end.” He was fighting right along with her. When she took her opposite hand to reach for his bulging cock, he drew away, couldn’t scare her. And he was not ready to give into his cramping balls or give up the sensual torture spurred on by waiting. But the waiting was over with for her when she began whimpering. Since she wasn’t seasoned by his bed play, he had to grant her mercy.
Gage wanted to kiss her badly, wanted to run his tongue all inside her mouth, get to know it better. But right now, his canines wouldn’t recede. So every time she puckered those full lips up for him, wanting him to fill her mouth the way she was filling her pussy and he was filling her ass, he licked the seam of her lips and pulled away with a slight tug on her plush bottom lip. So he did something he might regret and said, “Look at my cock, Azure. Do you like what you see?”
“Oh, my,” she gasped. “How could you endure all of those?”
“Answer my question, Azure. Do you like what you see?”
“Yup.”
“Enough to suck me off?”
She licked her lips and nodded her approval, arching her back in the process. Her nipples were pleading for his mouth, but he refused them. Gage MacGelton enjoyed a slow burn, would love to tease the shit out of her. And he would make sure she didn’t get everything at once, yet. Where was fun in instant gratification? It couldn’t be found by rushing everything in fifteen minutes. He had to talk to Jayce, and Sayer was pacing downstairs, so he and Azure were going for the bare minimum. A stroke of fun and no more, at least until the Beasts clear out, leaving him with no more than a few guards listening in. “I loved the way you masturbate for me. It pleases me on levels you don’t understand. But you will, soon enough.”
“Want. It.”
“Let me ask you something before I fill your mouth. If you were walking by a window and I was just inside, stroking myself. Would you watch, Azure? Would you watch me take myself in hand, rubbing until I spurted? Or would you be brave enough to knock on my door and ask me to come inside you?”
“Too chicken,” Azure panted. “Just watching,” she hissed through clenched teeth, “no knocking on the door.”
“Okay then, there’s my answer.” He moved his large thigh over her, dangling his throbbing sack over her face until he was just out of reach. She rubbed herself furiously, gripping her fingers until he knew her flesh would be raw. So he gripped his dick just as hard, stroking it for her while she watched on in fascination as he worked around his piercings with an expert hand.
A hunger clawed through her body, scenting the room with fresh arousal. She opened her mouth for him, but he kept what she wanted at bay. “You’re watching, remember?” That was when he thrust all three fingers deep inside her ass, and he he
ld them there as he felt hers rub on the other side of her sheath. “I can feel you stroke my hand, faster, faster, faster. Ah, work it, baby. That’s it. Come for your man.” And just like that, she rolled into climatic overload. And he followed her. Squeezing his head as his sack tightened impossibly, before shooting hot jets across her body, one after the other. He shuddered with her, saying her name as a benediction since he couldn’t roar like the Beast he was.
But that would soon change.
Very soon she would have to find out what he was.
Reaching down, he pulled her mouth open, pushing his thumb through her clenched teeth before settling his cock head inside. “Suck it. Clean me the way I clean you.”
He pressed his face in her sex, rolling it all over her weeping flesh, enjoying the softness and the heady scent while also marking his body with her offering. “That’s it. Yes. Taste me.” He lifted his head and watched her throat move as she ate his seed, pulling a part of him inside her body. “You belong to me, Azure Malloy.”
He moaned loud and long, wanting to prolong their intimacy, but knew better. There was a time and a place; however, this wasn’t it. Yet. Gage got inside her head, commanding her in the barest of ways even though he was entitled to do more as her mate: You will rest now. She needed to adjust and rest from her heat. But he hated it all the same. Honesty was never much of a hitch until he found her. Now he wanted everything out in the open. Wanted her to understand what he was to her and how important she was to him.
Those golden eyes fluttered down, closing, they were erringly similar to Sayer’s. Well, when he was fed properly and could control his Habaline blood, otherwise his glittered like the stars. She lifted her lids again, trying to fight it with everything she had. That feisty part was her Were side. She sensed something amiss. Only she wasn’t strong enough to do anything about it. Then she was out, slow even breaths leaving her delicious body.
Since Gage was a hypocrite of the worst kind, he quickly covered Azure when Jayce misted in. And just how many times had he watched Tatum on that stupid hard drive? He threaded his fingers through his hair, pulling at a chunk. He’d never wanted to see that thing again, crushed it to powder with his fist just last night. No longer could he get hard for anyone but Azure. She owned him.
“You and Sayer are good to go, man.”
“Just the two of us?” Gage gaped, stunned. Then a heavy pulse of relief coursed through his body. No other male claimed her.
“Yeah.” Jayce glanced at an incoming text. “Between just now and those others who were at her place last night” – his eyes flipped back up at Gage – “I heard you were reading her some kind of book.”
Gage rolled his shoulder, shifting uncomfortably. He didn’t want to discuss Azure’s reading habits with his Alpha. Yup, he was a fucking hypocrite. “Sure did.”
“Okay, well. Enough males showed up for me to call it.” Jayce chuckled, “Congrats, my man. Go to it.”
“And what’s with the funny?”
Jayce stopped laughing, cocking a knowing grin instead. “All except Rock.”
“That’s because he doesn’t want a female.”
“Cause he doesn’t know how much better the sex is. The way these female Were’s grip on their true mates. Shit. It’s off the charts.”
“So I have more to look forward to?” Gage never paid much attention when the males were discussing their mates; he found their conversations boring. Now? Not so much.
“Let’s just say you’ll have a nice smile on your face come morning. You’ll see.”
Sayer misted in. “My best wishes for your unborn.”
“Yeah, thanks. Tatum’s still pissed about the witnessing thing. But history has a tendency to repeat itself. And I don’t want anyone saying that kid’s not mine.”
“Can you imagine trying to explain away your blood properties with a DNA test? Or how many humans we’d have to wipe afterwards?”
“No. And now, that’s one less worry.” He rubbed his hand over his mouth but didn’t lose his smile. “Only Bren’s allowed in our bed right now.”
“Ah” - Gage shrugged – “she’ll get over it.”
Jayce addressed Sayer, “Tatum and I are due at that Autism fundraiser with you tomorrow night, representing our firm. The Pack gives back to the community, takes it seriously, and we need to stay respectable in the public eye.”
“Don’t worry, Alpha. I’ll keep my Beast leashed.” Sayer’s eyes kept flicking over at Azure. “No worries,” he replied, “unless rogue vampires pay us a visit.”
“That’s my point. My pregnant wife is not going. Vampires hate public confrontations, so with plenty of guards they’re certain to stay away. But she needs rest and I’m not risking any stress on her while our son’s growing in her belly. We need to adjust my schedule around her pregnancy.”
“Of course, we will. This baby is paramount to all of us,” Gage said. “Azure and I can join Sayer, filling in,” he suggested. He could take Azure on a night out with the numerous guards already lined up. “I’ll work the floor, spurring up more interest in the cause. Azure will help with those half-way house projects. Well, at least with the first one. Anyway, this event will give our mate an opportunity to network with local celebrities and milk their heavy pockets for donations.”
“Yes, she needs to acclimate to this lifestyle. It wasn’t easy for me.” Sayer kept his eyes on her, fixed like a hungry predator. “Sometimes jumping in is better than easing in.”
“A man after my own heart,” Jayce laughed and held a hand out to shake his in the human way. “Let me know if you need anything, Sayer. Things are looking up for you. We can all help, but only you can make it happen.”
“I intended on making a lot of things happen this night.”
“And that’s my cue to kick it.” Jayce misted away with a broad smile.
Gage turned to Sayer. “Is Jude going to help you move your things?”
“Yes, we’re leaving now.” Sayer misted to the bed and placed his lips on Azure’s forehead, almost as if he were afraid to break her.
“Don't worry, you’ll be fine with her.”
“I listened to what you were doing to her, bringing her to ecstasy repeatedly. I want to do that, as well. I will fill all her needs. I” – his hands were opening and closing at his sides, fisting – “I want to touch her everywhere, learn her female body, put my hands around her breasts and kiss the pointy tips. I want to lick her sex. By its scent, I think it must taste divine.” A look of dread washed his features. “But I want to drink her more than I want to live.”
“I have a couple of Species friends, that’s normal. You may fear getting too excited your first go around with a female, but you won't hurt your own Bride. And if you get out of control, I'll be there to hold you back until you can settle down. Just as you will for me. She’s half immortal and can take more than any human female can, but still, we will treat her body with the respect she deserves. Now, go. Go so you can come back quickly. And make that offer to her friend, Nick, while you’re there. ”
“And then,” he trailed off, closing his eyes.
“And then you’re home Sayer, a real home. Not a pri -,” he caught himself before he said it.
“Prison?” Sayer finished instead.
“Yeah, not in a prison you share with countless males. More important than that is the fact that you have a family now. Well, as soon as we convince Azure of it.” He shrugged, not worried in the least. “That may take some work.”
Sayer’s eyes widened at that thought. “I’m thinking she’ll continue to be stubborn with me.”
Gage laughed quietly. “Ah, Sayer, as long as you know that going in, you’ll be just fine.”
Chapter Twelve
Azure huffed, “I don’t know why you insist on this.” Or why I’m allowing it. She squeezed her knees together, placing her chin on top of them as the warm water swished around her body courtesy of low, pulsating jets. The kind Will had in his bathroom somewhere down b
elow in this same freaking building.
Gage’s smooth lips kicked up into a smile. The kind of smile given by naughty boys before they plowed through an ant hill. “I’ve never bathed a woman before.” He lifted one heavy shoulder and let it drop, a lazy shrug from a powerful body. “Indulge me, Azure.”
He reached over and grabbed something labeled gel moussant by COCO and loaded up a natural sea sponge. She couldn’t believe how much he spread on the thing. Nick had a bottle just like that in his shower. Had offered it to Azure, but she’d refused on principal alone. One of his rich lover’s had left it there, and it sold for more than fifty bucks a pop. She couldn’t afford to get used to such extravagance, and when she finally polished it off, she would have to go back to the generic stuff. And that would just suck.
She ran her eyes over it, avoiding his. For a tiny bottle like that, she figured liquid gold would pour out of the thing instead of fragrant soap - woman’s soap. Oh, God, she whipped her head back so hard she hit the dark tile. She’d messed around with the Eros, a god she couldn’t resist, and now she was using his standard surplus. He probably had a thousand new toothbrushes under those cabinets.
His perfect nose scrunched up. “I’d rather this be unscented.”
After a deep inhale, she said, “What’s not to like about that?”
“It masks your natural fragrance.” He started soaping her, rolling soft circles over her skin. Neck and shoulders, easing down over her arms, no matter how hard she fought, she was lost to his touch, didn’t want him to stop. His arm grazed her face, biceps scraping her check as he washed her upper back. Arms so large, just like the rest of him, she realized.
“So why do you keep it here.”
“Keep it? Ah,” he chuckled in a male way. “You think I have lovers in and out. True?”
“Well, your business isn’t mine,” she muttered, wishing that she didn’t sound so petulant over a man she just met.
“I prefer the direct approach.” He lifted her chin, regarding her with glittering blue eyes, which were darkening quickly, reflecting the depths of his desire. And it shook her. Touched her in some way she couldn’t explain. Look at your male. That temptation called her again, a voice familiar but, not a part of her conscious. A masculine smile lifted the corners of his lips again. “From the beginning, I told you that I wanted you. You. If you think that other women have been in this house, you are mistaken. I just moved here, remember?”
