Page 10 of Piper's Perfect Mate

“Mmm.”

The sound she made was a mix of a whimper and moan. Her fists clenched in the sheets, and her mouth opened wide, a breathy gasp falling from her lips. Her sex clenched around me, contracting in waves as she came. I rode her through it, rubbing tight circles over her clitoris to keep her wrapped in that moment with me. Finally, I eased my fingers away as she went completely lax beneath me. I held her hips firmly and found my pleasure inside her. I came with a battle roar I was sure the whole pack heard.

I collapsed on top of her, my hips continuing to pump as my cock spilled inside her. It was still hard as if the bastard was afraid I might put it back in hibernation as it had been since the moment I’d first laid eyes on Piper three years ago. There’d been no one but her from that moment, and there never would be again.

“I don’t think I can move,” Piper murmured not bothering to open her eyes.

“Give me minute, and I’ll move.”

I was still buried inside her. Still filling her with my seed.

“Stay,” she whispered. “I like the way you feel.”

Her words were slurring a bit, and I knew she was caught between pleasure overload and exhaustion. I knew because I was in the aftermath of the storm with her.

She reached back to rub my side then clenched her fingers as my cock pulsed again.

“Still coming,” I muttered.

“Mmm,” she agreed, lifting and pressing her ass harder into me.

“Don’t do that,” I warned. “Or it’ll never stop.”

She giggled.

“You make it sound like it has a mind of its own.”

“With you, it does.”

She sighed, easing back down to rest against the mattress.

“It knows who owns it.”

I chuckled, dropping a kiss on her temple as I relaxed over her, covering her like a blanket.

“I do,” I assured her.

“Mmm,” she agreed, then as if a switch had been flipped, she fell into sleep.

I stayed inside her for another long moment then slowly eased out. My cock rose thick between my thighs, slick with the mixture of our releases and showing no signs of being ready to stop. Maybe, I should have jacked off more over the last few years, but I didn’t see how that was possible. Maybe, I should have pulled my head out of my ass and claimed my mate sooner, but I knew I wouldn’t have. Nineteen. Piper had been nineteen when she joined the pack. Too young for a man like me. Hell, she was still too young, but it no longer mattered. She wanted me. She’d chosen me and made it clear she wasn’t looking in any other direction.

I tugged the covers from beneath her, removing the ones damp from our loving and pulled the comforter we’d worked most of the way off the bed into place over her. Then I headed for the shower. I planned to reach out to Arwen when I finished so she could bring some clothes over for Piper. I’d need to call my alpha to let him know my change in status to a mated wolf. I knew Bastion and Raina would plan a celebration, so Piper could be officially introduced to the inner circle of the James Pack. She knew all of them, but now, she’d be one of us. Then Raina, as the alpha’s mate, would help to plan an official ceremony to unite Piper and me before the entire pack.

I didn’t care about any of it. Well, I did, since I wanted Piper to have all of it. As for me, it was enough knowing she’d be in my bed tonight and every night from now on. It was enough to know she’d carry my children, make this house into a home and fill it with love and laughter, with the running of tiny feet.

I hurried through washing, wanting to get everything done, so I could get back to bed and cuddle my mate. Make love to her again. Hell, I wanted to spend the rest of the evening inside her. Which meant I needed to get my ass out of the shower. I did a piss poor job of toweling off and jerked on a fresh pair of jeans before easing out of the bedroom to take care of the phone calls.

I’d just stepped into the kitchen and flipped on the light when I heard a soft knock at the back door. I opened it to find Anthony and Donovan with their arms overflowing.

“What the hell?”

“Thought Piper might want some of her things in the morning,” Anthony stated, pushing past me.

“We stopped over at the place she shared with Arwen and grabbed some stuff,” Donovan added as he followed on Anthony’s heels.

“We’ll help you get the rest when you’re ready. Arwen plans to stop by tomorrow to check in with Piper and said she’d bring more then.” Anthony stopped in the den and glanced around. “Where do you want this?”

“Over there for now.” I nodded toward the back corner of the room. “I’ll let Piper put it where she wants when she wakes up.”
