95

Her fingers traced some of the wolfsbane burns and cuts on my side. A groan escaped my lips as she touched the nearly healed tear in my side, then traced her finger across my abs to touch a cut there. Then, instead of a finger, her entire palm slid across my skin, up to my chest and then down the other side. The look in Kira’s eyes showed me she wasn’t worried about my injuries anymore. She looked hungry and lustful as she took in the angles of my body.

The tension and chemistry between us always grew into a roaring fire every time we were alone, and it was becoming impossible to ignore. Kira raised her eyes to mine, biting her lower lip as her fingers slipped further down to graze my crotch. My cock twitched. All my fear of the challenge and for her was gone now. She was safe. We were alone. I could show her exactly what I wanted.

Looping my arm around her, I pulled her close and crushed my lips into hers. Without hesitation, Kira ran her hands up my back and opened her mouth to allow my tongue access. This didn’t feel like the last time. Something about it was more real. She wasn’t doing this because she was angry or scared or wanted to release some tension. There was a warmth and softness to the kiss that told me she wanted me. The thought sent a shiver of pleasure up my spine as I stripped her clothes off.

Kira sighed and pulled her lips from mine, helping me pull my underwear off. My cock was already rigid when it sprang free from the waistband. Heedless of my wounds, I gently pushed her onto her back, spread her legs, and slid my tongue down her body. She gasped and pressed her hands to the back of my head, pushing me down. I sucked at her clit, running my hands over her body as she pressed her hips to my face, urging me to continue.

The taste and smell of her sent my inner wolf wild with desire. I slid a finger into her, moaning at her wetness. Kira arched her back as I moved my tongue faster across her clit. It went on like that for several moments until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I had to have her.

Pulling my face away, I crawled up the bed until my face was directly above hers. Kira brought her hand down between us and grabbed my cock, stroking it as she looked into my eyes. A breath of air escaped my lungs as her fingers worked up and down my shaft. Kira guided my cock down, playfully rubbing the tip against her clit before letting me slide into her.

It was the third time I’d been with her, and somehow, each time was more amazing than the last. This time was less frantic than before. We could take our time and enjoy the moment, and I was happy to see that Kira felt the same. My hips slid forward and back, my cock gliding in and out of her. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she pulled me closer and kissed me again, her lips and tongue warm on my mouth. All the sensations made my head swim.

Pressing myself all the way inside her, I rocked back and forth as I held her tight to me. She pushed her hand down and started rubbing her clit, her breathing growing faster and more urgent. I could feel her body tensing as I thrust into her faster and faster. My own orgasm was approaching, and for once, I didn’t want it to happen. I was having too much fun. The look in Kira’s eyes as she gazed up at me made my chest ache. She’d never looked more beautiful.

She clenched her teeth as her hand rubbed furiously at her clit while I slammed into her. She let out a moan and began to shiver in ecstasy. Her orgasm continued washing over her, and she reached her arms around me again and clutched at my ass, urging me deeper and faster. It was too much. I gasped and groaned as my release came, the spasms of pleasure running along my cock and balls up my back. Warmth flooded across my body as I finished.

After I collapsed atop her, we heaved in breaths, trying to recover. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me. I wasn’t sure what the future held, but I was going to enjoy this moment for as long as I could.

After cleaning up and lying down, Kira rested her head on my chest and ran a finger along my stomach. We didn’t say a word but simply enjoyed being with each other. After some time, Kira looked up at me as though she’d thought of something important.

“I haven’t had the time to tell you yet, but do you remember the wolf who saved us?”

I frowned and shook my head. “No. Which of the guys was it? I was passed out.”

Kira sat up on her elbow. “It wasn’t one of the guys. I’ve seen all their wolves, and this one wasn’t any of them. It was riddled with scars, like it had been fighting for its life for a while. One of its eyes was missing, and there was a big scar where it should have been.”

That made even less sense. “You’re saying a feral helped you? Why would it do that?”

“That’s the weird thing—it wasn’t feral. I looked into its eyes. They weren’t crazy or psychotic like a feral would be. He was sane, and lucid, and…” She trailed off. After a minute, she let out a little gasp. “I think he might be a past contestant.”

I sat up in bed. “What? Is that even possible?”

“Wyatt, they’ve been doing this every year for over thirty years. A lot of contestants vanish during filming, and they always write them off as dead. But what if one survived?”

My brow furrowed as I tried to imagine why someone would choose to live on Bloodstone rather than go home.

“If this guy had survived, why wouldn’t he come back to the mansion? Get sent back to his pack or whatever?”

Before our discussion could go further, I saw Kira’s wristband light up. A glance at my own wrist showed that mine was activated as well.

“It’s the middle of the night,” Kira groaned. “What do they want?”

On the watch’s tiny screen, a video began to play. Von Thornton’s smiling face came up.

“Good evening, everyone. I know you’re all very tired, but there’s been a few last-minute changes to our plans. Tomorrow morning, we will be heading back to the mainland for a special meet-and-greet with the mega fans before returning to Bloodstone, so make sure you get a good night’s rest.”

“Thanks. Glad you woke everyone up just to tell them to sleep,” I grunted, even though I knew Von couldn’t hear me through the bracelet.

Von held up a finger. “And one last juicy detail. The game is about to change. I hope everyone is ready for it, especially Kira. For the first time, starting next week, there will be a second female contestant on the island.” Von winked. “Remember, everyone loves an underdog.”
