Freya cried out as he began mercilessly pounding into her with deep, dazing strokes that were zapping her with bliss. Nothing should feel this good, she was sure of it. She had definitely never thought it would feel this good before, but she'd known it would be this way, and it had scared her. Now, though, as he tunneled in and out of her reaching depths that had until now been untouched, there was no fear, only sheer and utter carnal bliss.As Dante gazed down at all that smooth skin of her back, that unmarked smooth skin, he had the urge to bend down and sink his teeth into wherever he could reach. He closed his eyes against the impulse. He wouldn't mark her again, he told himself. He'd fuck her and ensure she knew that she was his, but he wouldn't mark her again. Twice already he had marked her when the one claiming bite was all they needed. He didn't need to possessively mark her up with claws and teeth to leave his brand all over her the way his wolf wanted him to. The way Dante
Maybe it would be fair to say that if she hadn't fought him so hard on the issue of belonging to him, then she wouldn't be in this state. Yeah, but that only applied to the first time. After that, she had conceded belonging to him as his mate, although she had snarled at him with every concession. He hadn't had any need to keep it up.She wondered if maybe the drive behind it had been that he had sensed that her admission was only half-hearted. Once she had belonged to someone and when he had broken up with him, it destabilized her for a while. She locked her heart after Jake in a bit to concentrate. Moreover, it will take more than fucking, mating and branding for Freya to open up her heart to Dante. She hadn't forgotten what he was like in a hurry. And that was okay because that was not his chunk to take. But she wouldn't give that much of herself to another person again. Her soul wouldn't survive the loss a second time, as there wouldn't be enough of her left to allow her to live.
Dante knew the question was rhetorical. Females tended to mark their males around the groin or the chest region overlapping the heart and obviously, Oswald figured that was the case with Freya.Rather than correct him, he allowed him to think that. He wasn't sure why she hadn't marked him. Oh, she'd nipped him and scratched him a few times through the night, but it had only ever been in retaliation, and it was never deep enough to even draw blood, let alone mark.His wolf didn't like it, and Dante was pretty sure that her wolf wouldn't be too pleased about it either. Maybe she would do it when the battles for dominance had eased, he mused. He didn't bother asking himself why he even gave a shit. This mating stuff messed with the brain."How does it feel to have a female who won't bow down to you?" Declan's voice came, causing everyone to turn in his direction. His grin was roguish."How come you are still here?" Asked Dante."Be grateful that we aren't ripping off your head, human. I
Dante was just ending the call when the sound of a loud crash hit his ears and had him cursing in surprise. He raced into the kitchen and stared, confounded, at the vision before him. Lori was very ungracefully splayed out on the floor after obviously having smacked her head against the wall if the trail of blood was anything to go by. Everyone at the table had risen from their seat and was staring down at her, wide-eyed. And Freya...well, she was leaning against the counter calmly biting into a slice of bacon as if there weren't a woman moaning and bleeding all over the floor."What the hell happened?" he demanded. Freya's expression was perfectly serene when she peered up at him. "She fell." The sound of muffled laughter had his attention returning to the table to find Oswald, Jodie, Maya, Cameron, and Wyatt chuckling so hard they were shaking. Although the others were silent, none of them – not even Margaret – had been able to hold back an amused grin.Freya sighed. "I think I'll
He snorted and faced forward again, resisting the urge to nibble on her bottom lip. And the urge to kiss her. And the urge to lick over his mark. His wolf, on the other hand, liked all three of those ideas and was growling his encouragement at Dante. His wolf had...missed her. He brooded and fretted when he wasn't around her, pushing Dante to go hunt her down. Whenever he was around her, his wolf wanted to lick every inch of her and roll around in her scent. It was dumb, and it was pathetic, and it made Dante want to kick his wolf's ass if only he could.Eventually, they arrived at a restaurant in the next territory that Freya knew belonged to the wolf pack that the only hope of securing information about what was ongoing in his pack was part of. She also knew they wouldn't be having the meeting inside the restaurant, but within the wooded area behind it – a place where many shifters had come to fight in the past when meetings like this hadn't gone so well. Hopefully, this wouldn't be
Freya couldn't stop the snort from popping out. "And who in this universe told you that would ever happen? Probably the same person who told you that you're a good liar."He sputtered. "Excuse me?""Oh come on, you talk so much shit I can smell it on your breath.""I take it this means no agreement can be reached," said Valley quickly, obviously wanting to stop the conversation from becoming any more argumentative than it already was. "Bryant, do you wish to pursue this further or are you willing to allow Alpha Dante to do what he wants to do?""I'm not backing down."Dante leaned forward in his seat. "Then I accept your challenge."Valley sighed. "You know the drill. Allow the rest of the pack to decide on what will happen. None of you would get involved with your ulterior motive until the whole pack gets into an agreement. Then you can act on that challenge. Hopefully, you can both come to an amicable agreement within that time. From the humans we've already been through a lot, there
Ayala, her face purple, slapped her hand down hard on the table. "That's it. Out. I want you out. Now." When Freya just stared at her, Ayala growled out, "I. Want. You. Out."Freya held up her index finger. "Just give me a second. Attempting to give a fuck...Attempting harder to give a fuck...Sorry, there was an error. Fuck not given."Both women looked up as Dante and Theo walked in and skidded to a halt.Freya found her mouth curving at their nervous looks. Obviously, they had guessed Ayala would be like this. Freya's wolf settled a little as she picked up her mate's scent. "Aww, Dante, you didn't tell me your grandmother was such a kind, delightful soul. Just like the great of your pack."Dante was surprised by Freya's smile. Clearly, she was holding up just fine against Ayala."You really want this harlot as a mate?""Watch it, Ayala," Dante cautioned in a low voice."I don't have to be polite to her. She's nothing but a whore!""You sure like to repeat yourself, don't you, woman,
Dreams didn't get much better than this. On one level, Freya couldn't help finding it a little depressing that her best sexual encounters tended to happen during her sleep, but the pleasure spiking through her body left no room for such thoughts. If she was going to admit the truth, Freya would say that she was glad that she waited. One ounce of regret could not be found in her actions.A thick, talented finger was stroking in and out of her while sharp teeth nibbled on the back of her shoulder. The thrusts were shallow, leisurely, and teasing. She squirmed and tried impaling herself further, but the finger withdrew – a warning. She moaned her frustration. A low, wicked chuckle was her response and then two fingers plunged inside her and her next moan was of sheer bliss.Ordinarily, Freya hadn't experienced much finger-fucking, but these fingers were extremely clever, hitting all the right nerves with unerring accuracy as if they knew just how to play her body. If they would only pick
