Page 14 of Unwilling Mate

She is so wet and the taste of her nearly sends me into a frenzy. Deciding that she’s waited long enough I latch onto her clit and her body shudders. I swirl my tongue around her button and her hand immediately grabs my hair.

Unrelenting, I suck her clit in and out of my mouth while rubbing my tongue up and down her button. Her core begins to get warmer and her hips shake. All at once her body goes tense and her juices flood my mouth. I eagerly swallow all I can while still licking her bud.

Her climax lasts for several seconds. Then I hear the sound I had been waiting for. I may have missed it had it not been for my heightened senses.

“Mmmm…” she moaned softly.

The reward of her actually making a sound reverberated in my ears and drives me almost to the point of losing control. I have heard it before and now I’m sure of it. Although it wasn’t her speaking. It’s enough to make me want more.

I wait until her pleasure subsides and make my way up to her eyes. She’s still breathing hard from her orgasm which is enticing as well.

“You moaned little mate.”

Her eyes stay closed as she gives me a tight nod. Then she mouths the word “okay.” A grin spreads to my face. Her mind isfilled with pleasure. I would probably get the same response if I told her a bomb was about to go off in the room.

I don’t press the issue. I’m certain she is capable of making sounds now. Perhaps this is the first step to one day hearing her voice. Right now that is good enough for me.

A few seconds later I hear a soft snoring from her. Humans are perhaps turned off by this. But as a wolf I found it endearing. This human is mine, and always will be.

ABIGAIL

I wake with a smile,and the sunlight glinting on polished wood and crystal-clear glass. Thorn is sleeping beside me, and I stretch and climb out of bed to brush my teeth and get dressed. The memory of the men who warned me is nothing but a fades afterthought.

Thorn comes up behind me, wrapping his big body around mine as he nuzzles my neck. “You look delicious, my mate. Is there anything you need?”

I shrug while brushing my teeth. What can I need? I have him and the forest, and there’s nothing else that could compare to this.

“Nothing at all?” I recognize the playful tone and narrow my eyes at him.

His lips curl up into a smile, and he races into the bedroom. I quickly rinse my mouth out and rush after him, curious what’s got him so excited this morning.

He pulls a huge shiny white box from under the bed and sets it on the rumpled mess of quilts. “I think there is one thing you could use, although I loath to provide it since it will mean I can’t touch your bare skin anytime I want.”

I peer down at my naked body and put my hands on my hips, mentally urging him on.

With a flourish, he lifts the lid and throws it aside. Then he parts the creamy white tissue paper to reveal…clothes.

I let him see the confusion on my face and grab a notepad off the side table. You bought me clothes?

With equal excitement, he whips a sweater from the packaging. “Not just any clothes. The softest wool money can buy.”

I reach across the bed and pet the fabric, then freeze, eyes flying wide. Then I mouth the word, “WOW.”

He nods with a self-satisfied grin.

I pull the sweater to me and hold it up to my chest while he pulls piece after piece out of the box. An entire beautiful wardrobe in jewel tones. I swallow a lump in my throat and pull the small box of intimates across the bed.

“Those might be for both of us,” he says.

I pull out some of the underwear and marvel at how perfectly it all fits. Tears are building in my eyes, and I turn my back as I dress so he doesn’t see. Of course, he senses something is wrong with his strange wolf powers.

“Abbie, what is it? You’re supposed to be happy with the gift, not crying.”

I snatch the pad off the bed and scribble. I’ve never owned new clothes before. Not as long as I can remember. I’ve always gotten my stepsister’s hand-me-downs, and they made sure they were in the worst shape before they reached me.

He growled low in his throat and then hugged me tight to his chest. “They can’t hurt you anymore.”
