He turned to face her and she finally realized what she was
looking at. The wolf in front of her wasn’t truly Seth anymore. His animal had
taken over and blooded his enemies in challenge over his mate. This creature
was dangerous not only to the men lying on the ground but to her as well. In
her human skin he could really harm her. If she shifted, though, he would
attack her in his lust and need to force her to submit as his. Her choices were
limited. Either shift and let him do what his body required of him, or try to
talk him into shifting to human and basically doing the same thing. Even in
human skin he’d be in a bad place in his head. He had protected her, fought for
her, but she wasn’t his yet. His body would be pushing him to mark her, claim
her. The sex was going to be rough and hard.

When he started stalking toward her with a growl vibrating
in his wolf chest, she decided she’d rather get ravished in human skin. At
least then she could touch him and try to soothe him. She prepared to beg. Her
legs bent slowly until she was kneeling, head bowed, neck bared. She had her
hands relaxed on her thighs. She shivered with the vulnerability of her
position. She knew he wouldn’t hurt her on purpose, but she’d seen enough cases
of he-wolves hurting females when in the throes of rage.

“Please. Seth. I need you in human form,” she whispered. She
jumped when a wet nose nudged her hand. She didn’t move, hoping to draw him
out.

She felt his energy shift before he did. The sigh that
escaped her lips surprised her. She hadn’t realized that she’d been afraid
until the tiny sound disturbed the quiet of the night. She wasn’t used to being
weak. This male was stronger than her, physically and mentally. There was
nothing she could do to stop him if he decided to attack her. That knowledge
sent apprehension and lust through her body.

“Emily, come to me.” Seth moaned the words before he was
fully human. She could smell the arousal, thick and heady, rolling off his
body. She didn’t push him. Slowly she crawled to him, breasts swaying with her
movements. He growled in appreciation. “I can’t be gentle with you this time.
I’m sorry. It’s riding me too hard. I need in you.”

His apology was quiet but full of self-loathing. She
understood the need. When she was within touching distance she knelt up and
wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her cheek against his massive
erection. She moved her head and rubbed her face against the hard flesh,
flicking her tongue out to taste him. His body shook and a moan rumbled in his
chest.

Slowly she sat back on her heels and turned her body to face
away from him. She lowered her hands to the ground and lifted her ass in the
air. As she lowered her head to her arms she spread her legs, presenting him
with her open pussy. She wiggled her ass and whispered the invitation he seemed
to be waiting for. “Seth. I need you.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.” Agony laced his words.

“You can’t hurt me. I’m wet and ready.”

She didn’t hear him move. A gasp fled her lips when his
hands grasped her hips. Hot thighs nudged hers until her knees were as wide as
she could spread them. Thick fingers smoothed her wetness along her folds
before parting her pussy lips. She had a moment to realize that his cock was
positioned at her opening before he thrust completely into her. A moan was
ripped from her mouth as the head of his cock nudged her cervix. Pain, pressure
and the slick slide of his shaft ignited an orgasm that seemed to have been
waiting for his penetration. Days of agony, wanting him, needing him, burst
into a release so powerful she had to fight passing out. The walls of her
channel fluttered around his cock, pulsing in time with their combined heartbeats.
He hadn’t even touched her clit.

Two thrusts later, Seth buried himself in her pussy and held
her tight to his body. Hot cum flooded her channel and she sighed at the erotic
feeling. Her legs shook with residual tremors from her release. Her breaths
came raggedly, sawing in and out of her mouth. She almost laughed when she
realized that Seth’s breaths were coming at exactly at the same moment as hers.

“You okay?” Seth’s words were muffled by her shoulder where
he had buried his face.

“Yep. You?”

“Mmm. Great.” She could feel his grin against her skin.

Seth slowly pulled out of her body and tugged her up into
his arms. He kissed her lightly on the temple before turning her to face him.
Gently, he cradled her face. His lips touched hers with a reverence she’d never
had directed at her. His kiss was the polar opposite of the sex they’d just
shared. The kiss was slow, soft and sensual. If she hadn’t already been on her
knees she would’ve found herself there when her legs buckled. His tongue
stroked into her mouth, touching and tasting. Her body melted into his.

“Let’s go home. I’ve had enough excitement for a lifetime. I
want you in my bed tonight.” He whispered the words as a plea.

Emily nodded but he still didn’t move. He studied her face
for long moments. She wasn’t sure what he was looking for, or whether he’d find
it. She just stared back, baring herself completely to his scrutiny.

“You’ll mate me tonight, right? I want to claim you, Emily
Prescott. I want my teeth marks to mar your creamy skin, I want my scent so far
embedded in your body that everyone will know you are mine.” He kissed her
lightly on the lips before continuing. “I’ve loved you from the moment you
walked into my house. Please let me be yours.”

She smiled. The ancient and magical words came easily to her
lips. “Yes. Seth Seymour, I will mate you, claim you as my own, share myself
with you forever from this night forward.”

He stood and pulled her into another scorching kiss. His
lips explained his happiness and feelings for her better than his words ever
could. He pressed his already swelling cock against her body. She rubbed
against him and sighed into the kiss. He pulled away from her with a groan.

“Okay, let’s go before I take you on the ground again. I
really would like a bed under us next time.”

She chuckled and took his hand. It would take longer to walk
back to the field, but she wanted to stay connected to him, touching.

Chapter Eighteen

The night sky was just starting to lighten, taking on pink
along the horizon. Emily and Seth had walked hand in hand for the last hour,
laughing and joking, kissing, touching. She couldn’t remember a better hour of
her life. He understood her and accepted her for all of her strengths and
weaknesses. He made her laugh when he talked about his first thoughts when he’d
seen her at his door. He grinned at her explanation of the call to her father
that same day.

When they entered the field she was surprised by how many
piles of clothes were still strewn across the ground. She’d figured that they’d
be one of the last couples out of the woods. It must have been a good night for
her fellow wolves. She could see her father sitting in his lawn chair, sipping
a soda, facing the forest. She should have known he wouldn’t go home or to
sleep until she came out. She grinned at the raised eyebrow he directed at her.

They dressed quickly before talking to her father. She
wasn’t embarrassed to be naked in front of him, but there was something about
standing to have a conversation in the buff that still made her blush. While
she and Seth dressed they didn’t allow more than seconds between touches. She
helped him to pull his shirt over his head, and he helped to pull her jeans up
her legs. The touches weren’t meant to be sexual. They were just to affirm
their connection.

“Hey, Dad.” Emily approached her father with a knowing
smile. She knew his first question would be about the fight. Even without
referees around, that howl of Seth’s and the answering call from the pack
would’ve filled him in.

“Emily. Seth. How is Luke?”

Seth choked on whatever he’d been going to say. A sheepish
grin touched his lips. “Fine, sir. Sorry about roughing up some of your males.”

Ben Prescott chuckled. “You can’t call me sir, Seth. Dad
will do, or Ben. And don’t worry about Luke and his gang of idiots. They
deserved anything you did to them. By the way, nice howl. You and I will have a
talk soon about getting you involved in the pack.”

Seth’s confused look made her grin. She nudged him with her
shoulder. “You made the entire pack answer your howl. That’s a pretty dominant
thing to pull off. Dad is going to start nagging you about being the Alpha when
he steps down. Which, in my opinion, is awesome, because then I don’t have to
do it.”

“Well, kids, we can talk about that later. Right now you
have a claiming to take care of. Go home. I’ll talk to you later.” Her father’s
eyes sparkled as a blush rose along Emily’s cheeks. She turned to find a
similar coloring on Seth’s face. She grinned. Even their blushes were
synchronizing.

She grabbed Seth’s hand and escaped, waving over her
shoulder at her chuckling father. Talking about her claiming with her father
was definitely not going to happen.

Emily pulled into Seth’s driveway and parked behind his car.
The drive to his house had started with excitement and was ending with
nervousness. She was sure of their connection. She loved him. She knew that he
loved her. But the idea of walking into his house, knowing what they were going
to do, made her hands sweat. She stepped out of her Jeep and stood staring at the
ground. What if he decided at the last minute that he didn’t want to go through
with it?

“Em?”

Seth’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. She scrubbed her
hands down her jeans. She tried to put a smile on her face but it didn’t quite
make it.

“You okay?” he whispered, before reaching for her and
pulling her against his chest. She breathed in his scent and relaxed. This was
Seth, not some unknown man. He loved her and wasn’t going to change his mind.

“Yeah, sorry. Just seems weird to know what we’re going to
do once we walk through that door.”

“I was thinking the same thing, actually. Let’s just see
where things go. In my heart you’re mine.”

She smiled against his chest. Only Seth would offer to wait.
She stepped back and grabbed his hand, pulling him toward his house. She was
claiming her mate tonight no matter how silly her brain was being. She didn’t
wait for the tour—she knew where his room was. She’d heard him roll out of bed
that first morning. With her hand wrapped tightly around his she pulled him into
his bedroom, turned and shut the door.

“Seth. Mark me.” Her demand was full of power and she
grinned as his spine straightened. She had just thrown down the gauntlet to her
Alpha male.

He growled before stripping off his clothes. “You think you
can force me, little wolf girl? You aren’t strong enough to make me do things
now.”

She stood, hands on hips, staring at the naked deliciousness
standing in front of her. She slowly moved her eyes up over his straining cock,
rippling abs and heaving chest. She grinned, baring her teeth. “Oh really? Then
why are you naked and I’m not?”

Seth did exactly what she’d hoped. He pounced. All that
muscled goodness worked at her clothes, ripping the shirt over her head,
pulling the jeans off her legs. Within moments they stood, separated by inches,
naked and breathing hard.

“Get on the bed on your knees.” He’d done the same power
push as she had but he was strong enough to make her obey.

She fought it out of principle but ended up on the bed, on
her hands and knees, waggling her ass in the air. She breathed a sigh of relief
when cool air brushed against her heated pussy. “Come on, wolf boy. I’m wet and
aching.”

The growl that reverberated in the room was full of promise
and threat in equal parts. She felt the bed dip as he climbed onto the mattress
with her. His hands smoothed lightly over her from her neck to her thighs. Her
skin erupted in goose bumps and her spine arched like a cat.

She expected him to take her fast, like in Sal’s storeroom.
She jumped when warm breath blew over her pussy. His hands rested on her ass
cheeks, warm and firm. Lightly, his thumbs slid between her folds and she
gasped as he spread her open. Cool air moved over her moist pussy. With the
first touch of his tongue to her heated flesh her body sagged and a sigh
escaped her lips. He licked her from clit to anus in one wide, wet pass. He
hummed as he speared his tongue into her passage.

She jumped away from the invasion and he growled at her. No
words were uttered but she stilled her movements, understanding his needs. She
spread her knees a little further and relaxed into the position. Hot breath
fanned across her folds before his tongue swiped her again. He circled her
opening, dipping in to sample her cream then licking to her clit. He lapped at
her swollen bud, swirling his tongue around it, flicking lightly. Hot lips
encircled the flesh and she moaned loudly when he suckled on her clit. Her body
couldn’t take much more before exploding. Her muscles were already clenching.
Her vaginal walls quivered and she ached to be filled. All it took to send her
over the edge was a quick flick of his tongue against her clit as he sucked it
into his mouth. She called out his name as he pulled her pussy against his
mouth, plunging his tongue into her channel, tasting her release.

“You taste so good. I could just stay here for hours.” His
voice vibrated against her flesh, making her shiver.

“Please, Seth. I want you in me,” she begged. She could be
disgusted with herself afterward. At that moment she wanted nothing more than
to be filled by his cock. The remnants of her release still pulsed through her
body, making her languid and loose. She tried to entice him by waggling her
butt.

“You are so impatient.” His words skated hot against her
flesh. She sighed. He still hadn’t moved from her pussy.

His tongue swiped along her flesh, circling her anus. The
shiver that racked her body was intense. No one had ever touched her there, and
to do so with his tongue was so naughty it made her gush with cream. Thick
fingers slid into her wet channel and a thumb pressed firmly against her clit.
He was going to make her come again. He moved his fingers, curling them so they
could rub against the walls of her vagina. The sensation was overwhelming as he
stroked her clit and her G-spot in slow, slick glides. As if he commanded her
body with nothing but his fingers, she could feel her muscles start to clench.
Each slide, each flick brought her closer to her release. He rubbed her clit,
increasing the pressure, and speeding his movements inside her channel. She was
so close. Hot breath fanned over her ass and a single dip of his tongue into
her dark hole sent her over the edge, moaning his name and pushing back against
his hands.

She melted onto the bed, boneless and sated. Her brain had
disconnected, letting her float in orgasmic bliss. Two orgasms in the span of
ten minutes was enough to put her in a coma. She was panting hard, trying to
catch her breath. She turned her head to look over her shoulder and smiled
lazily at Seth. She would have snickered at the purely male look on his face if
she hadn’t been so relaxed. He was still licking her juices off his lips while
he looked at her from under lowered lids.

“Are you ready for me?” His voice was like silk, sliding
over her skin.

“I’m ready for anything, wolf boy.” She was still trying to
catch her breath but her mind was back. She waggled her eyebrows at him because
she was too tired to do much else.

He chuckled at her playfulness, grabbed her around the waist
and flipped her over. She didn’t miss a beat. She wrapped her legs around his
waist and hauled him down to her. She grabbed his face and pulled his lips to
hers. She licked across his lower lip and hummed at the taste of her still
clinging to his mouth. She sucked his lip between hers, sharing her desperation
and need through her kiss.

She knew the minute he gave up trying to do whatever it was
he was doing. He lowered his chest to rub against hers, rumbling in his chest
like a giant cat. His hot member rested lightly at the top of her cleft. She
used her legs to pull her mound against his groin. She wanted to feel him, to
grind against him. Even after two releases she still felt the zing of sensation
when his cock brushed her clit.

He pulled away from her kiss and stared into her eyes. She
was swamped by the love and passion staring back at her. She didn’t know what
he was waiting for, but she wanted to finish this. She wanted him to carry her
marks forever, to make that last connection so they would always be together.
She wouldn’t be alone anymore.

“Please, Seth. Mark me. I want to finish this. You are mine
and I am yours.” She whispered her plea in the space between their lips.

Seth groaned, closed his eyes and moved his hips,
positioning his cock at her opening. With a single, slow slide he entered her
until he was balls-deep. They both breathed deeply, absorbing the bliss of
their joined bodies. He bent down to capture her lips in a searing kiss as he
moved within her body. He moved with unhurried strokes, slowly sliding in and
out of her channel. She felt another release building slowly. This one would be
special—tears were already threatening to spill from her eyes. The look of
reverent devotion in his eyes, the sensual promise of his kiss, the slow way he
mastered her body, were all pushing her toward a pinnacle she hadn’t
experienced before.

“Oh Em. What were those words you said to me in the woods?
They were special, right?”

“I will mate you, claim you as my own, share myself with you
forever from this night forward.” She could feel the magic build with each
word.

She felt him slide into her mind.
Emily Prescott, I will
mate you, claim you as my own, share myself with you forever from this night
forward. I love you more than life itself.

She gasped with the intimacy of those words spoken within
her own mind. She could feel him approaching his release. His muscles strained
and he increased the pace of his strokes. Her body answered. The walls of her
vagina clenched around his member, her nipples rubbed against his chest and her
clit throbbed with each slide of his body. She pulled him once more into a
sweet kiss of promise before answering. “Seth, I claim you, take your promise
and share myself with you forever from this night until eternity.”

Seth hugged her tightly before burying his face in the crook
of her neck. “Mark me, Em. Prove to the world that I’m yours.”

With a sigh she felt the release peaking, flowing through
her body. She allowed her wolf to come forward in her mind enough to extend her
canines. She licked the side of his neck at the same moment as he kissed hers.
The sensations pushed her over the edge. Her last conscious action was to sink
her teeth into his neck. The slide of his teeth into her shoulder pushed her
orgasm higher. The pain slid quickly into a new sensation of ecstasy. Seth
flowed into every corner of her mind. His presence was like coming home, safe
and comforting.

When she could think again she noticed that she was still
licking the wound she’d created on his neck. She felt a thrill of
possessiveness when she saw the perfect imprint of her teeth in his creamy
skin. Forever she would have a matching mark on her shoulder. Everyone would
know she belonged to Seth, and everyone would know he was hers.

The tickling in her mind was new and she grinned at him when
he chuckled in her head. His whispered words wound through her mind and brought
tears of joy to her eyes.
Yes, you are mine and I am yours, always and
forever.

“Always and forever,” she promised him.

They snuggled together and marveled at the rhythm of their
bodies as they breathed together, hearts beating in time. Emily was so glad she
had taken the time to find her mate, her Alpha, hidden deep inside a geeky
male. Fate sometimes knew exactly what she was doing when throwing two seeming
opposites together.
