“Oh! That’s so sweet.” Her mother smiled brightly.
“Yes, sweet but he doesn’t want kids, Momma. I’m about to go into heat and I don’t want to trap him into something he doesn’t want.” Amethyst sighed. This declaration broke part of Walter and he barely managed to keep quiet in his spot.
“Let me tell you something from a guy’s side. Men will never be ready for children. I was still scared as hell when your mother found out she was pregnant and I thought we weren’t ready then. When you were born I worried I’d mess you up somehow but look at you.” Her dad sighed. “You’re a beautiful, strong woman. I love you so much, sweetie pie.”
“I love you too, Daddy.” Amethyst rubbed the phone on his side. Walter liked hearing her with her parents. When Maria had hung out with her outside of the house, he never had a chance to meet them.
“You better take care of my daughter, young man. She’s special and I don’t care if you’re a wolf or a human, I’ll hunt you down and kick your ass.” Her father looked toward Walter and it took him a second to realize he spoke to him. Amethyst turned to face Walter who stood leaning against the doorjamb.
“I promise to take care of her, sir,” Walter spoke louder than he normal. His stomach fluttered with nerves, he never expected to be talking to her parents. Maybe I should’ve given her space but it’s too late.
“It’s Cole and my wife, Tris. We will be coming to visit in a few days.” Cole smiled and looked at Amethyst.
“You’re welcome to stay with us.” Walter nodded toward the phone.
“We need to get some sleep, sweetie pie. You have a good night.” Tris winked and the video call ended, leaving Amethyst and Walter in silence.
“Let’s go to bed and we can talk in the morning.” He pushed out his hand and Amethyst studied it.
“I can sleep in here.” Amethyst rubbed the bed and anger spiked through Walter’s body.
“You’re my mate and my mate will sleep next to me.” Walter raised an eyebrow.
“And if I don’t want to?” She leaned toward him, her lovely tits pressed against the cotton of her shirt.
“Your body language is saying something else.” Walter resisted picking her up and carrying her caveman style.
“I can smell your arousal.” She placed a hand on his shoulder.
“You’re not in heat yet. We can have some fun before we have to talk about kids.”
“I’m not sure it’s a good idea.” She looked up at him through her eyelashes.
“I made your father a promise and intend to keep it.” He climbed up her body and she squirmed under him. His cock pressed against his jeans, ready to enter her warm little core.
“We can do it tomorrow. Maybe we should go to bed.” She pressed into his chest, gently. Frustration rolled through his system. They had argued enough for the night, he didn’t understand why she couldn’t let this go.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Amethyst
AMETHYST ROLLED TO the side trying to cool her heated body. She rolled to her other side to look out the window, and the sun hadn’t fully risen into the sky. Then why in the hell am I so freaking hot! Shit, I’m in heat. Memories of this happening with Collin filled her mind, and it hurt like hell. He had mentioned the females went into heat if they stayed with werewolves too long. Last time, she ran to her parents which shortened the duration of heat to a day. Collin had been pissy for almost a week when she returned home. But she hadn’t wanted kids with him. I want kids with Walter!
As if reading her mind, Walter pulled her body into his and a spark of tension pulsed between her legs. They both passed out after their lovemaking the night before. No barrier rested between her ass and his rock-hard cock.
Her wolf whimpered at the idea of moving away from. Walter doesn’t want kids, I can’t change it and I won’t force him like Collin tried to force me. Her ass wiggled against his tip and he groaned into her ear.
“Damn it, baby.” Walter nipped at her earlobe. Tension pooled in her tights. His hot breath brushed against her neck. Amethyst took in a shaky breath and met his gaze.
“I’ll go take a shower to cool down.” She lifted up but Walter wrapped his hand around her waist bringing her body flush with his. “What are you doing, Walter?” Each second that passed being so close, risked her taking over and ripping away any barriers to his throbbing cock.
“Do you really want children, Amethyst?” His gaze studied hers like somehow she might change her mind after years of wanting her own babies.
“I do but I know you don’t. I’ll push through this heat like I did before.” Amethyst didn’t meet his gaze. She didn’t want to admit this heat had more intensity than before. Reluctantly, she moved out of his grasp and walked into the bathroom. The pain in her thighs was borderline unbearable. She climbed into the shower before turning on the water. The haze set in so fast made her head spin. She stood there leaning against the cool tiles and hoped to the goddess above her heat would stop soon.
After a few deep breaths, she managed to turn on the water. The icy coldness sprayed her flesh doing nothing to calm down the inferno roaring inside. She didn’t bother turning the temperature up when she grabbed his soap. Slowly, she massaged her heavy tits then down to her achy thighs. Her finger brushed against her clit sending a shiver up her spine.
This time she intentionally rubbed her fingers against the bundle of nerves and a moan left her lips. Tipping her hips to gain better access she moved her fingers faster and harder. Her orgasm built under her flesh, images of Walter kept her going. She liked how hard and fast he took her. Her other hand moved down, and she pushed one of her fingers into her pussy. It pulsed around her fingers. She needed more. More pressure. More width.
Her eyes fluttered closed trying to get back into the movements to break the heat in her stomach. The water continued to spray her body moving the soap off her skin.
I can do this, I’ll calm this damn heat down on my own. Determination helped her move her fingers faster and soon she peaked.
“Yes,” Amethyst gasped. Her pleasure was short-lived, and the tension stayed in its place. She let her hands fall before she shut off the water and jerked the towel off the rod. Once her body was covered, she blew out a shaky breath. This is going to be fucking hell! A living fucking hell!
When she entered the room, Walter wasn’t lying on the bed so she plopped down on the sheets, making her pillow wet from her hair. She opened the towel in hopes of the air might cool her off instead. Deep down she knew her efforts would be futile. Only her mate would be able to calm her raging hormones and with him not wanting kids she wouldn’t press the issue.
She may have to avoid him for three solid days to keep from jumping on top of him. Images played in her mind on how Walter might fuck her hard and fast on the wall and in the shower again. New images of ‘breaking in’ the whole house started playing in a slideshow behind her closed eyelids.
Before she realized what she was doing, her fingers were moving in slow circles over her clit. The fire blazed hot and a whimper of pain left her lips before she managed to stop it. Why does my mate not want children? Is he just scared?
Even from a young age, she had wanted to have a family with loads of kids running around the house, laughter and love all around. Her dream would have to wait until Walter was ready.
Her eyes opened, and she found Walter leaning against the door frame, similar to when she saw him eavesdropping the night before on her phone call. Her eyes roamed over his shirtless body and she knew this time was different. His white knuckles were her first clue, he had issues, unlike last night.
“What do you want, Walter?” Amethyst met his heated gaze and the blaze in her belly spiked again. She scented the air and caught the heady scent of arousal pulsing from her mate.
“I want you so fucking bad.” Walter’s ice blue gaze scanned her body and she liked how it turned her on even more. Her core clenched with excitement and she barely managed to keep her wolf at bay.
&
nbsp; “Then come take what you want, Walter.” Amethyst let the words out. His eyes snapped up to meet her gaze again. She wanted to let him choose to walk away, she had done enough pushing away. Nope, this would be all Walter’s choice. Her wolf whimpered and the ache in her thighs intensified. Come on Walter, come get me.
While she waited for him decide what to do, she held her breath. Everything rested on his choice.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Walter
WALTER STOOD COMPLETELY still, studying Amethyst’s face, making sure she was serious. Then come take what you want, Walter. His cock pressed against his boxers, needing to be inside of his mate. Heat consumed his stomach but a small hint of hesitation filled his mind. The way she took in a shaky breath broke the last thread of reluctance.
“Woman, you’re going to be the death of me.” Walter crossed the room. Her lake-blue eyes lit up with excitement.
“Do you want kids, Walter?” Amethyst wiggled on the bed making him groan. Her soft breasts bounced as she moved around. The need to fill her warm body pulsed deep inside of him.
“I want you to be happy. I can deal with anything else.” Walter wrapped his hands onto her thighs. But her head shook and she pulled away from him.
“You can’t just deal with kids.” Amethyst glared at him. Walter snapped his fingers, removing his boxers, and a condom appeared on his cock.
“Well, I’ll try my best not to break it then.” Walter climbed up the bed, placing chaste kisses on his way up to her soft lips. His cock pressed against her entrance and she whimpered. Her hard nipples brushed against his chest, heightening his arousal.
“I’m going to help you.” He slid into her and deep inside he broke into pieces. He grabbed her hips and slammed into her tight warm core.
“Oh, Walter!” she screamed into his ear. A light haze set as he pounded away into her body. Her walls collapsed onto him as she reached her climax. He leaned down and nipped at her breasts, making her squirm under him. Watching her cum was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life and he wanted to see it every day.
Her nails dug into his arms and he moved faster. She met his every thrust and soon his balls tightened. Yet he didn’t release like before. This time a hint of pain grew in the base of his spine. His cock pulsed in need of a release but his body didn’t want to listen. Amethyst’s gaze met his and in seconds she reached her second orgasm. Everything tightened up and then fell apart. He growled low as he released himself into the condom.
Amethyst sighed with contentment, bringing Walter out of the haze. He pulled himself from her and swore under his breath.
“What’s wrong?” Amethyst looked down. Her fingers moved over the long tear in the rubber barrier. “You were so rough, I’m not surprised it broke.” She pressed her finger on his cock making him twitch.
“Did I hurt you?” Walter looked up and a pool of dread filled his gut. She shook her head; her soft eyes were calm.
“No, it felt super good.” Her hand moved up his chest sending heat through his body. “Like freaking amazing sex.” She smiled and her other hand wrapped around his cock. How in the hell am I hard so quickly? He glanced down when she pulled off the condom.
“I think round two will go a lot better without these.” She tossed the rubber onto the ground. In a swift flip, she moved herself under him so her ass pressed onto his cock. He groaned and nipped at her shoulder.
“I think it’s a dangerous game.” Walter wrapped his hands around her soft hips.
“Walter, I like to live dangerously with you.” Amethyst rubbed her pussy against him this time. Again, he snapped. Forgoing the damn condoms, he slipped into her tight folds again. She cried out and bent her head back.
“I love your ass.” Walter squeezed her cheeks, and she moaned louder. The haze of lust settled in and he gripped her hips tightly. No matter how hard he tried to slow down, his body itched for another release.
“Faster, Walter. I’m so close again.” Amethyst reached back and grazed his balls with her soft fingers. His nails dug into her flesh and he slammed into her with all he had. A hint of exhaustion crept up his spine, but he didn’t let it affect his speed. If she wants it faster, then she will get faster.
Walter grinned at the idea of using magic during sex. Next time when she wasn’t in heat, he would have a feather tickle her skin while they fucked. Fucked doesn’t sound right, no making love sounds better. Making love to his mate both made his cock jump and his stomach tighten. The woman had accepted his flaws and still stuck around, she had practically stolen his freaking heart. He just hoped she loved him back.
Her tits bounced and her hard nipples caught his attention. Amethyst’s folds tightened on his cock again, her head tipped while her back arched. “Yes!” Amethyst yelled. Heat pulsed under his flesh followed by waves of pleasure.
“So fucking beautiful, Amethyst,” Walter groaned and his balls tingled. This time he reached his release without the pain. They rode out their releases together, the intensity so similar to when they had completed the imprinting bond.
When he came down from his high a quiet nagging voice filled his mind.
You’re going to get her pregnant.
Amethyst fell onto the bed and faced him, her smile warmed his heart. She wanted kids, but he still wasn’t sure he would ever be fucking ready for them.
CHAPTER TWENTY
Amethyst
OH MY GOSH, THIS FREAKING sucks! Amethyst managed to get some breakfast down past the waves of nausea. Two weeks living with Walter had been a complete adjustment, but she liked it.
“I must be getting sick,” Amethyst sighed and placed her head on the table. The cool wood helped calm her heated head. She took in a short breath of Walter’s scent and let it out of her mouth.
“Do you want to cancel with your parents?” Walter rubbed her back, bringing a small amount of relief to her uneasy stomach.
“No, we already canceled when I went into freaking heat.” She shoved her hands through her hair. Thanks to some magic her purple streaks weren’t fading anymore in her dark brown hair. He had offered to make her whole head purple, but she declined even though deep down she had always wanted to try it. It would be something to look forward to later on.
“But if you’re sick, how will you truly enjoy them being here.” Walter had a good point, but it had been too long since she had seen her parents in person. She shook her head and sighed.
“I’ll push through, just fingers crossed I don’t lose this lovely breakfast.” Amethyst glanced at the rest of the cinnamon roll and egg on her plate. Her nose scrunched up as the scents filled her nose. Her wolf rubbed against the barrier in a soothing manner.
“If something happens, I’ll be there.” Walter smiled and kissed her head.
“We should stop at the store and I’ll grab some ginger to help.” Amethyst stood and let her stomach settle before grabbing her bag. A small voice in the back of her head mentioned something about being pregnant but she didn’t listen. She and Walter were in a limbo place, not knowing if he actually knocked her up. They hadn’t spoken about it since she ended her heat.
Amethyst climbed into the pickup and Walter did the same, his scent brought a sense of peace into the truck helping to push back at the nausea. She didn’t like it but she dealt with it. They had planned on going for a walk after grabbing some coffee at the Ultra coffee shop. Walter parked next to her parent’s little blue car.
Cole pulled her out of the truck into a hug. She loved the affection her father always showed her, and she wondered what Walter might be like as a father. Damn it Amethyst, he said he didn’t want a kid.
“You still have the purple in your hair.” Cole shook his head and Amethyst giggled. Her father had never been a fan of the purple streaks.
“Shouldn’t have named me Amethyst then.” Amethyst shrugged her shoulder with a smile. “Walter, this is my momma and dad.” They all shook hands and Tris wrapped her hand around Amethyst’s side while they walked into
the coffee shop.
“Sugarplum, are you ok?” Tris’s soft blue eyes studied Amethyst.
“I’m fine, Momma, just a little nauseated.” Amethyst scrunched up her nose as they walked into the coffee shop. The aroma of coffee filled her lungs, half of her body wanted caffeine while the other half wanted to vomit. After the heat, Walter and Amethyst went into a comfortable place of don’t talk about the kids unless it is a for sure thing.
“Sugarplum, you seem pale,” Tris whispered into her ear. Amethyst swallowed hard and tried to calm her body down.
“Are you okay, honey?” Cole grabbed her hand, and she met his concerned blue gaze.
“I’m fine, but I think I’m going to skip the coffee today.” Amethyst gave them a small smile and walked back out toward the exit. Amethyst didn't get nauseated easily, she was so focused on getting outside she ran into a wall of muscle.
"Craptastic," Amethyst hissed and looked up to see her alpha holding Vivian in his arms. One of his eyebrows rose making her nervous for no reason.
"Amethyst, are you okay?" Maria moved to Derrick's side. Before Amethyst managed to say a word, she turned and vomited onto a plant. Sturdy hands held her upright while the room spun. Crap, crap!
"I've got you." Walter's strong voice filled her ear, and she thanked the stars above for him. He wrapped his arm around her waist and they fumbled outside. Her parents followed close by. Sweat caked her forehead, she used her sleeve to clear it off.
"I thought wolves didn't get sick," Tris hissed toward Cole. The door opened and closed while Walter rubbed her back.
"She’s not ill, ma'am. She's pregnant," Derrick spoke behind Amethyst. The urge to vomit again filled her stomach. She turned to look at Walter. Over the last few days, she had avoided the topic at all costs. His neutral face gave her nothing to how he felt about this piece of news.
