“Good girl,” he whispered intimately as I felt his fingers becoming wet.

My breath came in spurts as I began to pant. I leaned into his body, wanting to feel his warmth against my exposed skin. His powerful arm moved his hand delicately and methodically for a few moments, teasing my opening. When he deemed that I was ready to continue, he stopped and abruptly turned my body around, pushing me gently toward the bed.

I climbed atop it and began to lay back.

“No,” he growled in a low tone.

He was trying to control his passion, but I could hear the desire in his voice. He grabbed my ankles and dragged me toward the edge of the bed, flipping me onto my stomach as he did.

“I want you to look into my eyes,” I told him, turning myself back over to face him. I sat up so that I could reach him and pulled him gently over so that he was forced to brace himself with his arms. My legs wrapped around his waist, and I reached down to feel the erection pressing through the fabric of his briefs before shifting the fabric down to expose him. My hand wrapped around his shaft, and I pulled him carefully toward me.

His weight shifted as he leaned onto one forearm and wrapped his hand behind my shoulder. He plunged into my opening, and I inhaled sharply, surprised by his sudden urgency. I bit my lip as waves of excitement flowed through me.

My hips rocked in sync with his as our tempo increased, bringing us closer to the edge as I stared into his eyes.

“Yes, Jasper,” I moaned.

As soon as I said his name, he stopped, standing up and flipping me back over onto my stomach. His hands gripped me by my hips as he reinserted himself quickly and continued to ravage me from behind.

“Don’t. Talk,” he growled, each word punctuated by a powerful thrust. “It’s. Just. Sex.”

I could tell I had angered him, but I didn’t regret it. All I could think about was that I wanted his body closer to me—as close as he could get. I arched my back as he continued his thrusts. His breathing became labored as he exerted himself.

I gripped the bed in front of me as I felt him enter me again and again. My skin began to sweat from our exertions, and I could feel my stomach tightening with my arousal as I approached the pinnacle. I bit down on the sheets as I climaxed, muffling the sound of my euphoria.

He pulled out quickly, and I heard a grunt as he reached his own release. When he was done, he wiped himself on the sheets of the bed next to me.

My legs felt unsteady as I rose from the bed and located my underwear. A part of me wished that I had gotten through to him, but most of my mind was preoccupied with replaying everything that had just occurred. A rush of endorphins coursed through me, clearing my mind and relaxing my body.

“Don’t try that again,” Jasper warned, clearly angry at me for trying to turn our quickie into something more meaningful.

Without another word, he zipped his pants and left the room, slamming the door behind him.

I sighed and sat back down on the bed, frustrated that our first sexual encounter had ended this way. I had made the mistake of thinking this date was a turning point for us, but I had been wrong. There was more work for me to do if I was ever going to help Jasper to change.

Chapter 13 - Jasper

We didn’t stay long at the party. It turned out that Ashley had taken a liking to Killian, and between bouts of them making out and taking shots, my second managed to find out more about the alpha of the Pinedale Pack. And, most especially, his weakness.

“Her name is Penelope,” Killian told me after we had arrived back at the cabins.

April had gone to bed as soon as we had returned, and I had gone with my advisors to Killian’s cabin next door to discuss our findings.

“Did you find out who she is to Alpha Nile?” I asked.

“Ashley described her as his ‘most precious loved one,’” Killian continued. “If they aren’t mates already, I’d wager that they will be soon.”

“Too bad you already have a mate, Alpha,” one of my wolves said. “Force-marking Nile’s woman would be one way to bring him to his knees in surrender.”

He was right. If I hadn’t run into April, Madi, and the other Sparkle Hollow she-wolf in town, I would have the opportunity to take this one as my mate. I’d have to come up with another plan.

“There’s more than one way to tame a dog,” I pointed out.

“What would you like us to do, Alpha?” Killian asked.

My men were quiet as they waited for my orders.

“If Penelope is the key to the alpha, then we need to steal that key,” I said. “We’ll need to find out where she spends her time and how we can access her as soon as possible. Killian andI will kidnap her and bring her back as a hostage. If Alpha Nile wants to keep her safe, he’ll abdicate his territory to me.”
