“Josiah. Oh, my heavens, Josiah,” she breathed, hardly daring to believe this was real.
The stars danced above them, and the moon spotlighted their union as a fiery hot volcano exploded inside of her. She trembled as her pussy walls pulsated around Josiah’s cock.
“That’s it, Baby. Come for me.”
She cried out his name as a roar of hot, molten lava rushed out of her.
He pulled back one more time and then rammed his cock hard and fast deep inside of her, causing another burst of pure ecstasy to thunder, rocking her soul. Josiah’s head fell back and he howled. His cock throbbed and he shot a geyser of his hot seed deep inside of her body.
Their bodies quivered together in the cool summer night. Once they could breathe again, Josiah fell to the ground next to her and pulled her into his arms.
“Are you okay?” he whispered into her neck.
“Better than okay,” Zahra said. “I never imagined, in a million years, how amazing that would be with you.”
He held her for a while and then he shifted. “I think we’d better get back to the party before we’re missed.”
Marie’s already going to notice that we’re missing.
She didn’t voice her thoughts. Instead, she reluctantly pulled out of his arms and found her clothes that had been thrown all over the place.
Marie smiled widely at her when they walked back to the group.
Zac, her oldest brother, raised his eyebrows and looked at them appraisingly. “Where did you two get off to?”
“We just went for a walk,” Josiah replied quickly.
Zac looked at Zahra for a minute and then nodded, although she knew her brother thought there was more to their brief disappearance than Josiah suggested.
Marie rubbed her hands eagerly when Zahra joined her. “Well?”
“We did it,” Zahra said. “It was the most incredible experience ever.”
“Are you two going to be a couple?”
“I don’t know. I hope so. He didn’t say anything about that.”
Marie grinned. “You have to be. Zac will kill him if Josiah just slept with you and it was a ‘wham, bam, thank you, ma’am’ situation.”
“Nah. Zac will mind his business. One of the things that he’s learned while training to be the alpha is that a good leader lets people handle their own personal business and only gets involved if a formal dispute happens.”
“That’s different. That’s about the pack in general. You’re his baby sister. He’s always been overprotective of you.”
“True enough, but I don’t think he will do or say anything regardless of whether Josiah and I become a thing.”
Her heart was singing as she went to bed that night. Her biggest dream ever, her wildest fantasy, had come true today. Not only had Josiah noticed her as more than Zac’s little sister, but she had been with him. He had touched her like a man touched a woman he loved. She could still smell his scent and knew that meant he was her fated mate.
The next morning, Zahra went to the shifting tree. It was a spot on the mountain, off the trail, where a lot of the shifters transformed into their animal forms. The tree was huge and had the perfect hidey holes for their bags of clothes. She knew that Josiah often went there first thing in the morning to shift and run. Today was no exception.
Her heart flipped and it felt as though the sun had come out just to shine on her this morning. “Good morning, Josiah.”
“Oh, hi, Zahra.”
Her heart sank. His tone of voice wasn’t warm or welcoming. The awkwardness and slight chill immediately built an ice wall between them.
“How are you?”
He shifted from one foot to the other. Josiah had taken off his shirt but hadn’t gotten to his pants yet. Zahra resisted the urge to reach out and touch the incredible, muscular body that stood before her.
