“I’m glad we finally got out of there. Did you know your family was going to throw us an engagement party? It was very sweet, but the whole time I was wondering when I could get home to seduce you.”
Justin chuckled before admitting. “If I’d have known, I’d have just dropped Carter off with the neighbor. I want to play with my pretty kitty, make her purr. They stole four hours of possible nookie from me. I hope you don’t plan on sleeping tonight because little Justin has been a very patient boy. He’s hungry now.”
Her eyes widened at the bulge in his pants and her scent changed. “Can you pull over the car? I don’t think I can wait.”
“You can wait, mate. It won’t be much longer.”
He drew in a sharp breath and pulled the steering wheel sharp to the right when Dee’s hand came down on his pant covered erection and began rubbing back and forth. He put the break on, “You’re playing with fire. We could be home in ten minutes.”
She leaned over the console, licking the seam of his lips while rhythmically rubbing his cock. “I’m not waiting. Follow me.”
Before he had a chance to respond, she was out of the car and running toward the dense forested area. He followed her scent in the dark and found her naked sitting on the side of a fallen tree. Her left leg was propped up on the tree and her hands were behind her pushing her breasts out and up. He stared at her pale skin as it was touched by the moonlight. She was absolutely gorgeous, his siren.
“Are you just going to stand there all night?” She sent him a wicked smile, “Or maybe you want to watch?”
Her left hand came forward to cup her breast and gently roll the nipple. Her head fell back on her shoulders and she moaned her delight. She brought her head up she looked him in the eye as she trail her hand down her slightly rounded stomach to her mound. She spread the lips of her sex, dipped her finger in her moisture and proceeded to rub her clit. He watched rapt as she rubbed her swollen nub. He knew she’d been primed all night because he could smell her readiness, but he never expected her to tease him.
Unable to help himself, he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants and released his straining erection. He’d been on the edge for hours smelling her need. It was making him crazy with want. He watched her finger become saturated in her musk and he damn near shouted when she inserted it into her channel. He watched her delicate finger get lost in her folds, her hips moving in the most enticing rhythm. Grabbing the base of his erection and squeezing he felt the bead of moisture release as he firmly pumped his hand over his manhood.
He couldn’t interrupt her even if he wanted to; she was clearly lost in her own pleasure, riding her hand like it was his cock. He approached slowly, whispering dirty things to her, increasing her arousal as he pumped himself closer to orgasm. Her eyes were open showing him a hint of her cat as she moved in a sensual rhythm.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve never acted like this before.”
He shushed her as he reached up and palmed her breast kneading the tissue while plucking at her puckered nipple. Not able to help himself he rubbed the head of his cock along her folds and tapped her swollen clit lightly, causing her to moan and writhe harder against him. The head of his erection slipped in and she put both of her legs around him and tugged him closer until he was fully seated in her sheath. His pelvis was hitting her clit and after a few hard pumps of his hips they were both screaming their release.
He buried his nose in her hair and held her close. Inhaling deeply he stiffened when he understood what was probably causing her behavior. He’d originally thought it was the mating, but he now knew it was something else entirely.
Shit.
Panicking as he stiffened she asked, “Was I too forward? I’ve never been like that before. I’ve never wanted anyone like I want you. It’s not even want, Justin, I need you.”
She could scent his anxiety and wondered if he was upset because she was acting kinda slutty. Who knew she could act this way? Normally she was very restrained. Heck, until Justin she hadn’t had sex outside of a bed. She knew he liked to dominate and he was extremely verbal during sex. She shuttered as he pulled out of her, cursing that she was still aroused, maybe more than when they started.
“It's fine, Dee.”
Dee, not kitten. She’d obviously done something wrong. Pulling out of his arms, she bent to retrieve her clothes on the ground. “I’ll just get dressed and meet you at the car. It’ll only take a minute.”
“Do you want kids?”
She stilled. “I have a kid.”
“That’s not what I asked Dee Marie. Do you want children?”
She pivoted towards him. “What’s with you? I’m sorry I was too horny to wait, it won’t happen again.”
Not giving her a chance to back away he pulled her in close for a tight hug. “I’m mucking this up. I don’t mean to upset you. You’re a fabulous lover and this was unexpectedly awesome. I just, think…maybe…”
“It was too much?”
“No, let me finish. I think you’re in the beginning stage of heat. I want to know if you want more children, if not I’ll buy condoms. I don’t want to rush you.” He knew that condoms didn’t always work with shifters, but he’d try if she wanted. “Or I’ll pull out.”
She stepped out of his arms to survey her body. Damn, he was right. Her nipples had been pebbled for the last two hours, her sex was still soaking and the more she thought of him the wetter it became. Not to mention the fact that they’d just had sex and she wanted to go again. She felt empty. “But it’s not time for my heat.”
“Sometimes when a shifter meets their mate it can spark a heat cycle. I only know because I work at the hospital and I’ve heard the doctors laughing about it.”
She should have known when they were caught by Blake making out in one of the bathrooms and she hissed at him. She actually hissed at her alpha. Luckily he’d laughed it off and was able to drag them both back to the party where he’d told everyone what they were up to.
“It’ll be okay, kitten, we’ll get through this. It’s not a big deal. We can wait to have more kids.”
He’d said more kids, not just kids; he’d so easily accepted Carter. His acknowledgment had her heart swell with love. “I love kids. I want more and I’m ready when you are. There’s no rush, we have the rest of our lives, but I wouldn’t be upset if we started now.”
Not able to control his wolf he growled at her while running his tongue over her mate mark, causing her to shiver in his arms. “You’ve done it now, kitten. The wolf wants you. He wants you bent over, legs spread as he pumps into you from behind. We’ll mark you again as we make you scream your release. Are you ready?”
Unable to form a sentence, she simply licked her lips and nodded. That’s all he must have been waiting for because in the next instant he had her on her hands and knees on the forest floor. Her bum was high in the air and she could feel the cool air all over her body. An instant later his warm breath caressed her lower back. Warm soft lips followed his heated breath making her produce so much cream it ran down her thigh. Her sex throbbed in time with her pulse. “Please…”
His lips brushed the top of the crease of her ass, hot breath hugged her curves before she felt his teeth nip her buttock. Not able to hold herself back she moaned her delight and arched into him. His breath now trailed in between her thighs and she felt him blowing cold air against her a moment before he licked the petals of her sex. His tongue stroked while his hands ran up and down the back of her thighs. She could feel everything he gave her and she ground into him silently demanding more.
A moment later she was shocked when the hand that had been circling her opening came down hard on her ass cheek. She felt the sting and expected to be upset as he rubbed the sting away with the palm of his hand; instead her lynx embraced the small act of domination and wiggled further toward him, arching her back like the cat she was. She was literally a pussy in heat and she needed more. She craved him filling her while he whispered naughty things in her ear. Things no lover had ever said. She didn’t think she was one for naughty bedroom talk but from the get go Justin had her cat purring from simple softly spoken words.
He nuzzled the crease between her ass and her thigh. “Do you like that, kitten? Do you want me to fill you up? Pump into you until you’re screaming my name and milking my soaking cock. Already, your juices flow for me, wetting my passage.”
A hand landed on her other butt cheek and instead of soothing the ache he roughly shoved two thick fingers into her needy channel. “So wet for me. Should I let you come now or make you beg? Will you beg for me?”
The slurping sounds as he fingered her caused her to clench around him. “I won’t beg. You’ll give me what I want, mate, or you’ll sleep on the couch.”
He chuckled, “I’ll sleep on the couch, but you’re so insatiable you’ll probably come to me.”
Bloody hell, he was right. Even now she found herself pumping against his fingers and she hadn’t even realized she was cradling her breast, plucking at her nipple.
“I have to say, I love the way your heat has you moving on me. I want you now, are you ready for me?”
Instead of answering, she squeezed her internal muscles and groaned, dropping her head to watch what he was doing in-between her legs.
Fuck, she was so responsive. Their mating was amazing and he’d thoroughly enjoyed himself. But this was not the same woman, with her dripping pussy and the hungry look in her eyes begging for him to claim her; he was gone for her. Lifting higher, he positioned the head of his straining rod at her opening, rubbing back and forth to coat it in her sweet nectar. He enjoyed the strained sound of her voice as she begged him, “Please, Justin, I don’t want to wait.”
Without giving him a chance to draw out her excitement she pushed back onto him to the hilt. Her warm walls contracted, while hugging his shaft perfectly. He could scent her release a moment away so he stilled. Holding her hips tight in his hands, he forced her to remain unmoving.
She hissed her frustration as she tried to move in his grasp. He held her tight until she dropped her head and took a deep breath. “Can I continue with loving you or are you still too wild?”
Her saucy reply was welcome. He loved her spice in the bedroom. He’d never be bored. “I thought you wolves liked a wild mate?”
His growl stilled her, but she knew he wasn’t truly upset. “Not you wolves, you should only care about
your
wolf, me. And I do like you wild, in fact, I’m tempted to swat your ass and have you run so that I can chase you through the woods. We’ll save that for the moon run though.”
She gasped, “You want me-“
He cut her off, “I’ll always want you; under our roof or under the moon and stars. I will have you during the moon run,” He did swat her ass this time, “and you will enjoy every minute of it.”
He began rocking his hips forward and into her at a steady pace, still not allowing her to move. The slurping and sucking sounds of their lovemaking were heightening his arousal. He released her hips to lean over her and palm both of her breasts as he lifted her upper half so that her back was against his chest. He played with her breasts for a time before he ran his hand down her body to stroke the curls protecting her sex.
A tremor went through her body and she grabbed his thighs as he pumped into her. He felt her channel ripple giving him a clue as to how close she was. Not giving himself a second guess he tapped her swollen clit as he bit down on the still healing mate mark.
Screaming, her whole body shuddered as her walls clamped down on him in the most satisfying release.
Pounding harder, his movements became choppy as her tremors increased briefly in another small orgasm. Taking that as a great sign he was about to allow his own relief when her small hand suddenly grabbed his balls. She pulled them up close to his shaft while putting pressure on a bit of skin between his sac and his ass. He wasn’t aware of that being a hot spot for him and it had him panting. Short moments later, inside the walls of his mate he released his seed. It felt like coming home being with his mate; his mate in heat.
Taking a breather in the early morning from their night of marathon sex, Justin had just brought the dog in and was making breakfast for his ravenous mate, when the phone rang. Briefly considering letting it go to voicemail, he decided against it just in case it had something to do with Carter.
Picking up on the third ring, he hoped whoever it was didn’t wake his mate or there would be no eating because when she was awake her sex drive was unappeasable. He whispered, “Hello.”
The little voice on the other end was not quiet. In fact, he thought his mate could probably hear it from two rooms away. “Hey, Paw.”
“Good morning, Carter, how did you sleep?”
His excitement was contagious. “I had a good bedtime, I like my new grandma and grandpa, they let me have ice cream for dinner and I got to play on Grandma’s phone.” There was a slight pause before Carter asked, “What is a sexy time, Dad?”
Not able to formulate a reply quick enough, Carter took that time to continue. “’Cause I was playing angry alligators on Grandmas phone, the alligators eats the people ‘cuz they moved into the swamp where’s they live, and then there was words on the screen where my alligators were and I reads them and I don’t think I was ‘pose to but I did. It says, you ready for sexy time old lady. Dad, I’m not an old lady and I don’t know what’s a sexy time so how do I answer?”
Oh hell.
One night with his brother and the kid is so sugared up and wearing active wear and now his parents are teaching the kid about sexy time. Why the heck were his parent’s texting like that anyway? They’re old! Dee would never let his family watch Carter again, let alone any children they might have together. What a mess.
“Well Carter, I don’t know who sent that message to your granny, but-“
“Silly, it was Grandpa, it said so on the top where the swamp was ‘pose to be. Maybe it means bedtime for old people.”
“I think you’re right, Carter. We don’t need to mention it again though okay. We’ll let it be our little secret, okay?”
Carter giggled, “Okay, Dad, our secret. Cool, I have a dad and a secret. I can’t wait to have a brother so we can have a secret too.”
His heart squeezed in his chest. Carter might get a sibling sooner than he thought, Dee’s scent had changed already, subtle, but it had changed. He wasn’t sure if it was the heat that caused the minute change or something more.
A knock sounded at the door and Justin rushed over so that the sound didn’t wake his sleeping kitty. She would be ravenous when she woke, for food and her mate. His cock twitched in his boxers.
Opening the door without looking was always a mistake, but his mind was full of so much he obviously wasn’t thinking right. He swung the door wide and almost slammed it again when he saw his mother. Instantly his boner went flaccid, thank god.
Carter chuckled, “Oh yeah, Dad, Grandma is coming over to pick up my active wear ‘cuz we gonna go hiking.” He paused, “Hi Grandma.”
Moving to the side to allow his mother entrance, he put his finger to his lips in the universal signal to be quiet as he said to Carter, “I gotta go, Carter, I’ll tell Grammy you said hi. We’ll get your clothes together and I’ll even give her your swim suit so you can go in Blake and Del’s jet bath tub.”
There was such a long pause Justin thought Carter hung up on him. “Hello, Carter?”
“Dad, Uncle Blake has a jet in his bath tub? I want to ride in his jet, it would be so cool. I’ve never been in a jet before, I was in a plane two times but I only remember one ‘cuz I was too little the first time.”
He heard Carter yell in the background, “Uncle Blake, I wanna see yer jet,” right before the line went dead.
Smiling, Justin turned giving his mother a hug, whispering. “What’s up, Mom? Have you had a good stay so far?”
She rubbed him lightly on the back before whispering a reply. “Oh my yes, we just love Carter, he has such a zest for life. He wants to know about everything. He reminds me of you boys when you were young, always into something.”
He chuckled, “I remember. I see a lot of curiosity in him and it makes me want to learn things just to teach him.” He remembered the sexy times comment that Carter had made and knew that was one thing he didn’t want to learn about, yuck.
His mother was obviously oblivious to his wandering thoughts because she replied. “That’s what it takes to be a great parent. I knew you’d be a wonderful parent and I’m so pleased with your choice in mate. They are both wonderful. Do you know when you want to have the wedding; have you talked to Dee yet?”
He could feel his cheeks heat indicating a blush covered his face. “Not yet, Ma, we had a long night.”
A wide grin split her face and she lightly pat his face. “Good boy, I knew we raised you right. Time to get Carter’s stuff so I can leave you with your hot mama.”
He was a little creeped out when his mother wagged her eyebrows at him so he led her down the hall and into Carter’s room to collect his things. It would only take her a few minutes, so he left her so he could check the bacon he’d forgotten on the stove. Luckily he’d turned off the heat when Carter called or they would probably have a fire. Also, luckily the bacon covered up the smell of the lingering sex and arousal from last night’s sex-a-palooza between him and his mate.
He was flipping the bacon when soft strong arms came around his middle and caressed his naked chest, down his abs. His manhood immediately responded with a good morning for its mate. He turned in her arms and noticed she was wearing his shirt from the day before, he pulled her into a passionate kiss, her legs rising to wind around his waist while the only thing separating their sexes were his thin boxers. He secretly wished she wasn’t wearing the shirt so they could be chest to chest, naked skin touching.
Locked in each other’s arms Justin forgot about the hot pan behind him, he let the world melt away as he consumed his mate’s mouth. It was the popping bacon burning his back that brought him back to reality. He pulled his head back slowly, her teeth scraping his bottom lip. He knew his voice was strangled, but he needed to feed his mate, just like he wanted to provide her sexual satisfaction, “Food.”
“I already know what I want to eat.” She slid down his body and nuzzled his steely member through his briefs before placing her fingers along the rim of his boxers, teasing him sensually. He was almost exposed and he could see her mouthwatering as she licked her lips, damn near making him come. Her mouth took his cotton covered cock into the moist depths of her mouth when a cough sounded at the entrance of the kitchen.
Dee was standing in front of him hissing with her claws out before he could warn her. How could he have forgotten his mother was here? He pulled her into his arms, “Dee, it’s just Mom, she came to pick up a few things for Carter. I forgot she was here.”
His mother, knowing when to keep her mouth closed, simply coughed again, waiting patiently for Dee to stop hissing.
It didn’t take long for Dee to settle. Justin rubbed her back in soothing strokes, only stopping when he scented the stirrings of her arousal. “Better?”
Dee nodded and dropped her head, “I’m really sorry, Mrs. Nunn, I don’t know what came over me.”
“Well, it was obviously my beast of a son. I’m the one who should be sorry, dear, I interrupted your mating week, I know better, but Carter really wanted a few things he’d forgotten. I’ll just leave you now.”
Dee’s voice was tentative, “Please, you don’t have to go. Would you like to have breakfast with us?” She ended up hissing the last, her heat obviously riding her hard.
Justin stroked her upper arms as his eyes pleaded with his mother to pick up the signal that she needed to go. “What do you say, Ma? Breakfast?”
His mother had always been perceptive, maybe too perceptive, because she was eyeing him now just like the time he hid the ice cream in his room because he didn’t want to share it with his brothers. He had been only eight and he had had no idea it would melt into the carpet. He did his best to clean it up, but she knew. She always knew everything.
“Why don’t I just give you both a hug and wish you the best before I go. It’s been a long time since I’ve had the chance to congratulate you, and with the party yesterday, we were all so busy.” She motioned them forward.
Doing as his mother bid, Dee stepped forward, only to be halted by his hand. He restrained her upper arm and when she turned toward him he mouthed,
it’s a trap.
Not believing him, Dee shook off his restraining hand and walked the few paces to give his mother a big hug.
Their embrace was genuine and warmed Justin with the knowledge that the most key, influential people in his lives loved each other and they were building a family. He was content up until the point his mother inhaled Dee’s scent and glared at him.
Blast, I’m so screwed.
Not privy to the glares his mother was sending him, Dee said, “Thank you so much for taking care of Carter while Justin and I have a few days to ourselves. We really appreciate it.”
His mother touched Dee’s cheek, “It’s my pleasure. He is so excited about the wedding and the fact he’s getting Justin for a father. In fact, Justin was just telling me that he wanted to set a date-within the week. Right Justin?”
Mother’s glare could cut knives. He wasn’t usually the one on the receiving end of that glare. It was usually reserved for Blake and his antics, but he knew he was in trouble. “I think whenever Dee wants the wedding is okay with me. We’re mated, so there’s no rush.”
She actually growled. His mother, prim and proper Evalyn Nunn, growled at him. “What do you want Dee Marie?”
Holy crap, she’s using her middle name.
He felt obligated to protect his mate, even though he knew she wasn’t in true danger. “Mother.”
“Don’t you mother me, Justin, I raised you better.”
Backing up towards him, Dee asked, “I’m sorry, what’s going on?”
His mother simply glared at him with one eyebrow cocked in question, wondering if he’d tell his mate. She probably hadn’t noticed her subtle scent change because she smelled strongly of him. He folded under the pressure. “I want to get married this week. I’m excited and so is Carter, plus, my whole family is here.”
Accommodating him, Dee agreed, “If that’s what you want, I don’t care. We can go down to the justice of the peace.” She rubbed her arms which were prickling with unsated lust, causing his beast to rise to the surface.
“Time to go, Mom, we’ll see you later.” He just about pushed her out the door without a proper goodbye.
Twisting out of his reach she gave Dee one more hug and even gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll arrange the wedding if that’s alright, no justice of the peace, you deserve a night to remember. Call me when your heat is over Dee and we’ll talk plans.”
Dee’s cheeks heated but she nodded and responded, “Three more days. It’ll last that long so please keep Carter. I’ll call every day and talk to him but it might be awkward.”
“I’ll keep everyone away, Dear, not to worry.” She looked over at Justin with tears in her eyes. “I love you, Son, and congratulations.”
He couldn’t resist giving his mother a smothering hug, lifting her off the floor and making her giggle. “I love you too, Ma. Don’t be sad.”
She smiled down at him, kissing his temple like she used to when he was a child. “I’m not sad. I’m so very happy for you both.” Her face got stern for a moment before she demanded, “Now put me down so you can be with your cat.”
A hiss sounded behind him followed by a loud announcement from his mate, “Lynx, I’m a predator too.”
Several hours later, Dee’s heat gave her a break, enough so that she was interested in food again. Leaving her exhausted mate sleeping in their bed, she wearily dragged herself down the hall and into the kitchen. If her stomach wasn’t growling she would have stayed with her mate lounging in bed but suddenly she felt like she couldn’t last without something in her belly. Instead of there being an ache in her girly parts, the ache was in her stomach. She wasn’t sure if she’d last the next couple days. Her heat always exhausted her, but normally she went to the doctor and spent four days on medication to suppress her symptoms. If she’d have known it was coming she might have done that, but life was moving at a fast pace lately and she felt like all she could do was stay on for the ride.
Halting in the kitchen, she found the cold coffee and bacon from Justin’s attempt at breakfast which had been thwarted by his mother’s interruption. She still couldn’t believe his mother caught her on her knees in front of him. How embarrassing! Everyone knows it happens, but no one should get a sneak peek.
Switching the burner for the bacon on, she tossed out the old cold and crusty meat and pulled out new slices placing them in the pan as she also reached in the fridge for eggs. The third egg cracked sounded louder than it should but she was so hungry she didn’t much care as long as they cooked fast and filled her belly. She poured herself a cup of cold coffee and microwaved it before taking a huge sip of the bitter brew and sighing her contentment. Soon she would be fed and ready for more mate time lovin’.
As Dee flipped the bacon she felt a presence at her back. Thinking it was her mate, come looking for food she pulled off the shirt she’d borrowed from him and turned tossing it in the direction she felt the presence while simultaneously striking a sexy pose. Standing in the exact place she expected to see her mate was a female. Granted the woman was fully clothed while Dee stood almost nude didn’t even register to Dee. The fact that a strange woman was in Dee’s den was unacceptable. Dee hissed and launched herself toward the intruder a split second after the woman raised a gun and shot Dee in the chest.
