I cocked my head, playfully glaring at him.
“Using my son as a shield. Clever. All right, off with all of you.” I turned to Senna. “I have a mate to deal with.”
Her eyes lit up as I said the words, and the rest of the gang around me happily returned to the house. It was nice to have some alone time with Senna, to be sure, but I was unlikely to forget about the Leon situation any time soon.
“Bye, sweeties. Have a good nap!” Senna called over at the twins, and as soon as my packmates were out of sight, I yanked her into my arms.
She yelped lightly, looking up at me as she grinned.
“You are such a troublemaker.” Senna just giggled. “I think I should punish you for being such a naughty little omega.”
The smell of rose and almond bloomed around me, heady and strong. My nerves sang as Senna’s scent flared with arousal, and I practically basked in the way it felt coming through our bond. We’d been intimate several times once she was able, but it had been gentle, simple, rushed.
Today was meant to be different.
I smoothed her body tight against mine, rubbing my erection against her.
“Fuck, I’m ravenous for you, sweetness.”
Senna chewed on her lip, her eyes rolling closed as she moaned low. “Jet, I…oh, damn. I’ve been really looking forward to this.”
Running my fingers through her hair at the nape of her neck, I pulled her closer, hovering my mouth above hers. Senna whined beautifully as I teased, just dusting my lips against her.
Our scents swirled, and I could feel the rebounding arousal strengthen between us. My cock throbbed, and I nipped at that full bottom lip. Senna melted in my arms, her breaths shaky and shallow.
“Oh, my sweet little Omega.” Finally touching my lips to hers, I swept my tongue through the seam of her lips, tasting her before grinning against her mouth. “What about a run? We’re outside. I want to see that tight little ass of yours trying to get away.”
The delicious aroma of Senna’s arousal flared, and I reached for her taut nipple, pinching as I nuzzled into her neck.
“Ugh!” She arched, grinding her pelvis against my shaft. “Oh, please, Jet. Hunt me.”
A low growl rumbled up from my chest, and my fangs lengthened into my mouth. There was no fighting the shift right now, so I thankfully accepted the partial change that still allowed me to speak.
“Run, Omega. Run.” I stepped back, my vision changing as my claws lengthened. “And I’ll catch you.”
Senna spun around and took off into the forest. I counted to fifty in my head, giving her a head start as I pulled off my clothes. It took everything in me to keep myself from running off early, but when I took off after her, I noticed Senna’s trail of clothes leading into the trees.
She’d pulled that shit on me once, however, so this time I closed my eyes, searching out her scent, yes, but also the hushed sounds of her breathing—her hiding.
The scent pool near her clothes was strong, but there, off to the east and up ahead near where the creek cut through the property, a faint trickle of her heavenly fragrance and the labored rush of her breaths.
I took off at full speed, drawing on the internal well of strength and skill that my wolf gifted me. I’d be faster in fully shifted form, but this provided its own entertainment. I could call out to her like this.
“Sweetness!” My voice was sing-song pleasant as I howled into the glade up ahead. “I can hear you, pet. Gods, love, that scent of yours.”
Growling low, I dashed forward, tracking a change in the ripples at the creek’s edge. Instead of heading straight there, though, I maneuvered around the right of a large bush obscuring Senna from view.
Keeping my voice low, I whispered. “I’m going to bathe in it, Omega.”
Slinking up behind her as Senna stood calf-deep in the water, I snatched her around the waist, hauling us around until we landed solidly on the bank. Senna yelped, the water splashing, and then a throaty moan slipped free as my erection brushed at her slick folds.
“There you are, precious.”
She hummed hungrily. “Jet, ugh, oh yes, please. Please fuck me.”
I shook my head, raining kisses down her neck and chest. “Oh, I’m going to do far more than just fuck you, little Omega.”
My lips danced over her skin, and I worked my way down until I reached her hardened nipples. Goosebumps skittered across her flesh as I licked over one of the buds, teasing it with my fangs. The spring breeze was cool, and it whisked over her flesh, hardening it all the more.
