His TurnCoalSo much had happened between us in the space of fewer than twenty-four hours, it was a little challenging to wrap my head around. I had confessed the truth to Brinley. I told her I wanted to be with her desperately...and hugely grateful to find she was willing to give me a chance to make it up to her, to be the mate she truly deserves.When we reached the cave, she had shared some details from her childhood with me. To say I was shocked at the depravity of what those young shewolves put her through, was a vast understatement. I never expected any wolf would act in such a manner.I was also shocked to find who the worst tormentors were. If someone had asked me which gender could be crueler, I would've answered males without hesitation. And I would have been wrong. Brinley explained the males were assholes, but the females had been horrendous.With every story she told, I cringed harder, and I suspected she'd only touched the surface of what she had to endure. But it was e
Arms and legs sprawled, her head came up. She blinked, staring at him. The look of utter surprise on her face caused my Wolf to laugh deep in his belly. It was the look he'd wanted to see. She would learn that she could challenge him all she wanted, but he would always win in the end.Her gorgeous green eyes narrowed dangerously. "I'm on to you now, you big beast."I chuckled. My Wolf snorted. Brinley pushed against on his chest in an attempt to stand. Waiting until she was almost to her feet, he gave her shirt a hard tug, causing her to tumble backward and land on him again.She squealed and joined in our laughter, her giggles filling the room. The sound was like music to my ears. Sweet and pure, just like she was.Rolling over, she repositioned herself with her legs around his torso and sat up. She waved a finger in front of his snout, in an attempt to make him see she meant business. It was utterly adorable. "You think you're stronger than me, don't you? Well, let me tell you-"He
He stood tall and strong, posturing, ears erect, chest puffed out, tail high. Magnificent. Tangible power radiated off of his broad chest in waves. Never, had he looked more like a predator, a king of beasts. There was no denying his Alpha birthright. The force of his authority would have had other wolves cowering in his presence, unable to look him in the eyes, raising their necks in submission.But I felt no need to slink down or run away.Just the opposite. I shivered in anticipation. I wanted this magnificent beast's nearness. But I too definitely shared the last trait -he had my submission.At that moment, I knew I wouldn't tell him no. Not now, or ever. I would give him anything his heart desired.My Wolf and I agreed. The bond flowed through us like a living connection, holding us steady, keeping me calm. I inhaled deeply, breathing it in.His gleaming obsidian eyes took in my lithe frame. His intense staring had nothing to do with checking out my figure. He'd already seen me n
My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and my spine arched of its own accord. I let out a low pleasurable moan.He did it again, a slow, purposeful lick front to back. His touch was warm, the texture both rough and smooth at the same time. I shuddered. His tongue flickered along my folds, separating each one, tasting each side, lavishing my skin with attention.I had felt his tongue on me before, quite intimately, but it hadn't felt like this. During those previous times, he'd used it for comfort and care. Not now. Now, there was a purpose, an intention for my pleasure. Lick after lick, with just the right amount of friction.My hips lifted and began to undulate on their own accord, up and down, I pushed myself harder against his tongue, keeping time with his strokes. Searing heat coursed through my body. Beads of sweat made a light sheen on my brow.I wanted more, and the damned beast just knew he was driving me crazy. He delved his tongue inside of my opening, just a little bit. Eno
My body relaxed.I was ready.There was fierce pride-almost to the point of violence-as his thoughts became clear, "Mymate.""Yours,"I breathed again in agreement, joy and love surging through my heart.He shifted his hips, beginning to stroke his arousal along my sex, causing mewls of pleasure to release from my throat. And then he moved to my opening, applying pressure just at the edge.I froze.He hadn't even entered me yet, just pushed against my opening, but the stretch was enough to shock me-it hurt.The vibration in his chest increased, reaching out to me, working to soothe me. Adrenaline pushed hard through my system."Shh...I'll be gentle." Rocking against me, he applied tiny bits of pressure each time, still not entering me, just at the edge. Each time he pressed forward, I felt a sharp sting, but the pain seemed to become less and less each time.I trembled. He would enter me soon. Is that when the real pain would begin? Coal said my body wasn't ready, but I hadn't listened
Coal continued to rub himself harshly against my now overly sensitive clit. I whimpered, but he didn't let up.And then I felt his entire body tense. Another hard thrust forward, and he growled, shooting hot liquid on my belly and breasts.He rocked forward a few more times. When he had released everything he had to give, he swore loudly, "Fuck!" and rolled off of me, laying on his back on the ground, his chest still heaving from exertion.Looking around, I reached for his discarded shirt. He said he was going to get rid of it, so I used it to wipe my belly and breasts clean.When I finished, I stared at Coal. His eyes remained closed, his hand still clasped around his cock that continued to release a little, as his breathing returned to normal.There was no doubt I was in trouble. As soon as he was physically capable, I was going to hear it. I made a sudden decision. My Wolf had retreated before. It was the coward's way, but I didn't care, it was my turn now.I shifted.~~~~~~~~COAL
HorndogCoalFour weeks had gone by. Four long weeks of keeping my hands to myself, agony, when all I wanted to do was gather Brinley into my arms and ravish her body from head to toe.But the temptation was too much. We couldn't have intimate kisses and touches, and not take it farther. Our interlude in the cave had proven that point beyond a shadow of a doubt.As soon as Brinley was naked, my Wolf had come within minutes of marking her. I'd stopped him, but just barely.Frankly, I had no idea how I'd been strong enough to keep us both from marking and mating Brinley. The force of the bond drove me hard. It was relentless.Darcie had explained the compulsion was even more heightened for me as a future Alpha, the Moon's way of getting what she wanted, the right wolves as her Luna's. And damn, I had to agree, the bond wasn't something to be played or trifled with. It was all-consuming, and it washed over me at least a hundred times a day, jerking me toward my destiny.Even the air betw
Amber nodded, her lips curled up happily. They headed toward the door when Ryder abruptly entered the basement.My anxiety level spiked. He shouldn't be here, not right now.Ryder had joined in some previous training sessions, but his schedule today was full. He should have been at the packhouse.So why had he come all this way? And why hadn't he mind-linked with me when he was within distance to let me know he was coming?The hard look on Ryder's face confirmed my suspicion.Something was wrong.The Onyx Moon Enforcers also felt the unease rolling off of him. Ryder was normally very laid-back, so the thin line of his mouth and furrowed brow was disconcerting for them as well. He ground out, "You're needed back at Ravenwood.""Okay." I took a step in his direction as everyone else in the room remained silent.Ryder interjected meaningfully, "No. All of you."I stopped in my tracks.All of us were required at Ravenwood? What the hell?I asked through clenched teeth, "What's going on? D
