Claiming Their Mate (3 page)

He added another finger to her ass and scissored them inside her, bringing a soft scream from her in response. Jared nipped her lightly on the ear before whispering, “If you ever run from me again, I will paddle you until you can’t sit for a week and then I will take this tight little hole.”

Madison felt herself get even wetter around him at his words. She couldn’t believe how hot his gruffly spoken words made her.

He began to pound into her again as he moved his fingers in her ass, again stopping before she could topple over the edge.

“You belong to me! Say it!” he commanded.

“I belong to you!” Madison yelled.

Jared began to slam into her so hard and fast it took her breath; he removed his fingers to slap her hard across her still tender bottom, which sent her screaming into her release as he continued to pound into her contracting sheath.

“You will never leave me again!” he roared, still thrusting relentlessly.

“I’ll never leave you, I belong to you forever!” she cried as he sent her over the edge into another mind-blowing climax.

“Again,” Jared said firmly.

“I can’t,” she whimpered hoarsely.

He showed her she could three more times before he gave into his own needs and growled his release, sinking his teeth deep in her shoulder as he came.

At the feel of his teeth piercing her flesh, Madison gave another silent scream of release as she shuddered beneath him.

“That’s it, baby, milk me with everything you’ve got,” Jared said as the hard spasms of her sheath wrung every last drop of his seed from him. The feel of her coming around him and squeezing his cock so tightly as if her body would never let him go was almost enough to make him lose consciousness.

Madison was almost asleep before he withdrew from her, the pull on her sore sheath bringing a sleepy whimper.

Jared pulled her into his arms and put her beneath the covers with him before wrapping himself around her body. He smiled as Madison relaxed and sank bonelessly into him with a sigh.

She now knew how completely she belonged to him and understood she was his mate. Jared wasn’t worried she would run again, largely because he’d taken her past the point of exhaustion and beyond.

He contentedly snuggled his mate. Tomorrow would be soon enough to explain he was a werewolf. Jared frowned into the dark room as he wondered how long it would take to broach the topic of Ethan as their third.

He only hoped his second could be patient.

Chapter Three

“I am not moving, Mr. Gentry,” Madison said firmly, crossing her arms across her chest as she frowned up at the large male glaring down at her.

“Don’t call me Mr. Gentry. There is no way I am leaving you in this neighborhood living in a tenement!”

“This is my home!” Madison exclaimed.

“Your home is with me,” Jared said firmly.

“My home is where I say it is!” Madison said, poking a finger into his chest.

Jared grabbed her hand and leaned down to toss her over his shoulder. “I grow weary of this conversation, mate. We’re going home.”

“Put me down, you hulking bully!” Madison shrieked and then tried to punch him in the kidney.

A hard hand fell on her upturned bottom in retaliation.

“Oww!” Madison yelped; her poor bottom was very tender still from the spanking the night before. Madison was sure she would feel it every time she sat down for a day or two. “That hurt!”

“Don’t provoke me, Madison; your bottom would definitely not appreciate another lesson so soon.”

“That wasn’t a lesson, it was brutality!” Madison groused loudly. In truth, though her bottom was terribly sore, just the thought of being across his knee brought moisture flooding between her thighs and she’d felt the swat he’d just delivered all the way to her core.

She never would have thought she’d respond so fundamentally to such a dominant male. He truly was what his man Ethan called him, Alpha.

Ethan was just as beautiful as Jared, a little shorter but even broader across the chest. His hair was brown with a hint of red, and his eyes were a warm hazel—though his seemed to swirl with amber sometimes too when their eyes met.

Every time he walked into the room he watched her hungrily and an answering throb rose between her legs in response. It was shocking to realize after years of not responding to any man that she was a slut beneath all of her reserve.

“We will discuss what you will and won’t do more once we get home and back on pack lands, Madison. Ethan, you and a few others pack up her things and bring them to the estate.”

Jared carried Madison to his car, the driver opened the back door to the limo, and Jared swung her around to cradle her and stepped into the car with her cuddled to his chest.

Once seated in the back, he turned her so she straddled his lap. “Where is your home, Madison?”

Madison didn’t feel nearly as brave in such close quarters while straddling his thighs. She’d known before she went to sleep the night before that Jared was her future, so she wasn’t sure why she woke so determined to fight him every step of the way.

She knew she belonged to him, Madison felt it in every fiber of her being, but she was determined to ensure he knew it went both ways; if she belonged to him, then he belonged to her too. If she was tying herself to this man forever, she wouldn’t be sharing him.

She glared at him, crossing her arms over her generous chest once again.

“Madison?” he growled warningly.

As hot as the idea of a spanking was right now, her bottom couldn’t take another one. “Fine! My home is with you, you big bully!”

Jared smiled and kissed her deeply, stroking his tongue alongside hers until she was panting.

He pulled away and pressed his forehead to hers while he calmed himself. “Why must you fight me so, Madison?”

The slight hurt tone in his voice made a twinge of guilt clench in her heart. Madison didn’t like it. Why should she feel guilty?

She sighed and replied in a very small voice, “I’m afraid you’ll consume me so completely, I’ll cease to exist.”

Jared obviously heard the very real fear in her voice and responded to it by crushing her to his chest to comfort her. “No, baby, you’ll never disappear. I need you as much as you need me. You complete me. I know the mating heat can be scary at first. The intensity during the claiming period is legendary with my people. Though we will always be explosive together and want each other, the ache making you desperate for me will only occur after the claiming period if you are ovulating.”

“Your people? Why do you keep saying mating heat and pack?” She was halfway afraid of his answer.

“I’m a wolf,” Jared stated simply.

When she only looked at him in disbelief, he allowed his eyes to glow and his fangs to drop as his face elongated.

“You’re a werewolf!”

When she would have climbed off his lap, he held her there and forced her thighs down until her cleft rode the erection tucked into his jeans.

Madison groaned in response as he continued to rock her against him. “We are not the half man, half beast creatures of Hollywood. We turn into actual wolves, though our species is much larger than natural wolves. I am a wolf and you, my dear Madison, are my mate.”

Madison wasn’t as shocked as she pretended to be and she was more intrigued than afraid. “Can I see you change?”

“Not until I am certain you are completely committed to me and our life together. It would be too dangerous to expose you to my wolf until both he and I are completely sure of you,” Jared explained regretfully.

“Your wolf would kill me?” she asked in alarm.

“No, baby, neither my wolf or I would ever harm a hair on your head, but if you tried to run or reject me in that form, the wolf would take you and could accidently hurt you in the process.”

Madison swallowed, more than a little disturbed by the disclosure. “Can you control yourself and keep from changing around me?”

“Of course I can, Madison. I am the alpha, but in my wolf form I would respond to any challenge you sent me as quickly as I would in human form.” Jared watched her face as she digested what he was telling her; she didn’t seem afraid, more contemplative. His eyes fell to the full breasts rising up from the rounded neckline of her top and realized he had neglected the beauties shamefully.

No time like the present to remedy the situation; with a firm jerk he had her neckline pulled down below her bra and from there it was a simple matter to lift her breasts from the bra cups, leaving them balanced on top of the cups and lifted up to him like an offering. He growled in appreciation as he eyed the dark berry-like nipples seeming to beg for his attention.

Madison gasped as he claimed one nipple and sucked it deeply into the warm cavern of his mouth. He’d freed her breasts so fast there was no time for protest, but as he sucked hard, her head fell back as the pleasure unfurling in her breast shot straight to the place throbbing between her thighs.

She whimpered and clutched his head tight as she began to rub herself frantically against the ridge of his erection pressed against her clit.

Jared reached between them and freed his erection then hooked a finger in the gusset of her panties and pulled it aside so he could slide home. He lifted her slightly and tilted her hips before pulling her down so hard he butted against her cervix.

Madison came immediately, clutching at his head where he still pulled on her throbbing nipple. “Jared!”

Releasing her nipple with a wet popping sound, he answered her hoarsely, “I’ve got you, baby-love.”

Grasping her hips, he lifted her almost completely free of his shaft before slamming her back down on him as he thrust up.

Madison’s back arched, a low, almost continuous cry escaping her at the feel of the large plum-shaped head of his cock popping almost completely free of her grasping sheath then ramming back inside and dragging along the sensitive nerves again and again.

She grabbed the edges of his shirt, needing to feel the friction of his chest hair abrading her nipples as she rode him. After she came again, he started pounding into her even harder than before until he made her scream.

Madison slumped against his chest exhausted, but he wasn’t finished with her yet; now he ground their pelvises together in a circular motion as he flexed deep inside her, the head of his shaft rubbing against some secret place that threatened to drive her completely out of her mind.

“Jared.” Her breath was ragged. “Please… oh… ohh, please…” She could feel herself building to some never before height of pleasure that she almost wanted to pull back from.

Jared allowed no such respite, continuing to maintain the exquisite pressure until she came with a silent scream, fluid gushing from her as she shuddered and shivered in his arms. He followed her into release, this time growling her name against the side of her neck.

Madison sobbed against him, completely overwhelmed, her entire body still shaking as tremors and aftershocks continued to buffet her body. Jared gently lifted her from him, the drag of his shaft through her sensitive tissues causing another smaller orgasm, wringing another sob from her.

He cuddled her close, rubbing a soothing hand down her back and over her legs as she calmed. Madison didn’t know why she was crying, as she continued to press her face into the warmth of his neck.

“Shhh, listen to the beat of my heart, baby-love. Hear how strong and steady it beats for you,” Jared instructed her softly as he continued to pet her gently.

Slowly, Madison began to feel her limbs relaxing as her heart seemed to automatically match its rhythm to the beat of his, lulling her to sleep knowing she was safe in her mate’s arms.

* * *

Jared smiled down at his sleeping mate; she was everything he could have hoped for and more, and he thanked God for such a precious gift.

As the limo drew in through the gates of the estate, Jared righted their clothing. He wouldn’t have another male see her in any state of undress, except of course Ethan. His second in command would be a third to their mating, but that would wait until he felt Madison was ready to accept being shared between them. The timing had to be right when he explained the Rule of Three to Madison.

He knew no one would say anything about the wetness on his pants. They all understood mating heat and the need gripping new mates, but it was good Madison wasn’t awake to realize how obvious the evidence of their activities were to his pack. She would be horrified.

The driver opened the door to the car and Jared climbed out with her still cradled against him. He would put her to bed before organizing a meeting for his pack to introduce her and witness their joining ceremony.

Selena opened the front door, glaring at the woman in his arms. “She’s human!” she spat in distaste.

Jared growled at the young woman, piercing her with his darkening gaze. Selena wisely lowered her eyes.

“Madison is my mate and you will treat her with the respect her position deserves.” The softly voiced command had Selena dropping at his feet with her head bowed respectfully.

“Yes, Alpha,” she said softly.

Jared nodded and continued to his bedroom with his precious burden, missing the venomous glare aimed at his mate as they left the hallway.

Chapter Four

Madison stretched as she woke up, her body filled with a delicious ache from Jared’s loving. She smiled as she looked around the strange bedroom she assumed was his.

Decorated mostly in brown and tan, the room was filled with large oversized furniture. Definitely a man’s room in need a few feminine touches to make it theirs.

As she sat up, the sheet fell down to her hips and she realized Jared had stripped her completely before putting her to bed.

“You don’t belong here.” The scathing comment made her start as Madison reached for the sheet to cover her breasts.

The young woman in the doorway glared at her. “Jared belongs with a wolf, a woman who can match him in passion.”
