“You’re a wolf, and that means that you can mark me. You can’t let that happen, okay?”
“I know.” Her voice dripped with sadness.
“When you feel her closer, like she is no longer in the back of your mind, you need to tell me. I’ll help you through it even if that means physically separating us. You’re not in this alone, but you have to tell me.”
“I will.”
With that, he pulled out almost completely before snapping his hips forwards again. She arched into his touch, chasing the new angle. Her head rolled back, a smile gracing her swollen lips.
“Good?”
She nodded, her cheeks slightly reddening.
“Am I hurting you?”
“No. It’s a little uncomfortable but not painful.”
He loved her honesty, loved the way she didn’t feel the need to lie to please him. He continued his slow, methodic thrusts, letting her match him move for move. Her hands traced each knot in his spine, mentally mapping out every inch. He savoured this moment, tried to engrave every second into his memory so he could look back on this for the rest of his life.
With her hands on his waist, she urged him to go faster. At first he was hesitant, but her body relaxed beneath him, showing no signs of discomfort. He followed her lead, railing into her, harder, faster. Just when he thought she couldn’t take anymore, she was begging him for more. Her breasts were heavily rising and falling beneath him. The faster he went the more her walls tightened around his shaft, giving him the most delicious pressure.
She didn’t protest, her body beginning to quiver beneath him. She squeezed his dick her muscles hardening as he worked her and himself to their climax.
“Come with me,” Ryker begged. “Touch yourself. I need you to come with me–please.”
Happily obeying, she worked her hand between their bodies, slowly beginning to circle her clit. He could feel her fingertips touch him here and there as he continued to thrust into her. Her moans turned into a sweet high-pitched song as she climbed to her release once again.
Kendra fell over the edge first, her orgasm wracking her body. Her core tightened around his dick, and as she grabbed him by his neck and hauled him into a blistering kiss, he fell right over with her. Aftershocks tore through each of them, the act milking Ryker’s orgasm right out of him. His muscles tightened before they relaxed and his body fell nearly limp. He turned, pulling Kendra on top of him as his body gave out.
His release spread through his body, shooting stars tingling all over his skin. Kendra seemed to be feeling it too, her body shivering against his. He pulled the covers over them and gently ran his fingers over her spine. Her cheek laid on his sternum, her arms hanging off to his sides.
“Sleep now. I’ll watch over you.”
She picked her head up, resting her chin on his chest. “Wake me when it’s time to leave?”
“I promise.”
He listened as her heart slowed down and her weight slightly increased as she drifted off into much deserved sleep. He continued to soothe her, finally finding time to process all that had happened.
He reached out his mind, connecting to Gabriel. ‘How are the patrols going?’
‘Good. No one seems to have followed her.’
‘She said they might not even know that she’s gone yet. Hopefully she won’t bring more trouble. After she’s gone I will talk to the men. I want to explain what happened so the rumours don’t get out of hand.’
‘I believe that is a wise choice. When will she be leaving?’
‘In an hour.’
Gabriel seemed surprised. ‘I thought you two might need the whole day.’
‘She wants to be back home before they realize she’s gone. She’s sleeping now.’
‘Clever woman.’
Gabriel cut the link and left Ryker to his own thoughts. Shifting slightly, he let her slip off to rest at his side. He made sure she was still asleep before he reached for some tissues to clean himself up. Then he set the alarm on his phone, exhaustion creeping up on him as well. He massaged her scalp with his fingertips, thinking about how much his life had changed in just a few hours. She was a wolf–and a clever one at that. She was completely devoted to her pack, willing to sacrifice her own happiness for their safety. He remembered what she’d said about her pack, and it only made him fall in love with her more.
I value every single soul in my pack. I will not risk someone’s life for my own happiness.
