Page 26 of Alpha Scorned

Once I’d kissed each and every scar, I traced them with my tongue. As I did, she silently cried.

“Lina, baby, look at me. Watch me.” I traced the O of the word etched into her skin. “You are everything I ever wanted.” More tears fell, but she opened her eyes, so full of shadows and pain. “You’re mine.” I continued to trace the tip of my tongue along her scars. “I am yours. Do you understand?” I hesitated, waiting until she nodded. Continuing to lavish her with my reverence, I reached the last scar and holding her gaze trailed my tongue lower, over the slight jut of her hip bone and down towards her core. The aroma of her desire filled my senses, and tasting her became the only thing on my mind. All I could think was how much I wanted to change those soft whimpers of distress into moans of pleasure. I wanted my touch to erase the pain of her past.

Slowly, I adjusted my weight so I could move lower. A little encouragement and her legs fell open, baring her glistening center to my hungry eyes. My wolf reared his head at the scent of his mate, even as I slid my tongue slowly along the length of her slit, desperately needing to taste her. Her groan of pleasure only added fuel to the fire in my blood. I’d never heard such a sweet sound. It called to my primal side, my wolf scratching and urging me to take what was ours.

So I flattened my tongue and dove into the sweetness between her legs. Her taste exploded into my mouth, and I couldn't suppress a guttural groan. I eased up my control of my Alpha power a bit, sending a wave of dominance seeping into her. She moaned even louder and more of her essence hit my tongue. An Alpha couldn’t compel their mate to do as they wished, but the touch of my power certainly had turned her on even more. That thought fired my lust up a notch, and I gripped her thighs, edging them further apart so that I could reach more of her. My cock became engorged and painful as I pulled the bundle of nerves at her apex between my teeth, alternating between sucking and flicking her with my tongue. Lina’s thighs spasmed, her breathing became rapid and her hips rose from the cushions, undulating, as she chased the pleasure I offered.

“Owen, please. Please…”

I grinned against her clit, swirling my tongue around it. “Tell me what you want, Kerores.”

“I need you inside me. Please…”

That desperate need was the same that burned in me, but I wanted to feel her come first. I ran my tongue over her again. Humming against her now sensitive clit, I slid two fingers into her tight, slick heat and curled them forward. With that she gave a strained cry and rocked her hips. So I intensified my attack on the bundle of nerves under my tongue until she gave a loud cry and her muscles spasmed tightly around my fingers, pulsing as she gasped and cried out her pleasure. I brought her down slowly, gently releasing her flesh until I was just lightly stroking it with my tongue. My whole body was coiled and I shuddered, my desire for her downright painful.

I gently withdrew my fingers, even while her body still spasmed. Standing tall, my eyes glued to her, I flicked open the button on my jeans, kicked off my boots and stripped quickly.

She watched my every move with hooded eyes, the rapid rise and fall of her chest enough to tell me how much she wanted me. She stared at my cock and I forced myself to give her one more chance to back out. “I need to be inside you, Lina. So tell me to stop if you don’t want this. I promise you I will if you ask me to.” My voice was guttural and strained.

Her pelvis tilted toward me, inviting me in. Fuck. The sight of her open to me like that made me want to mark her over and over until no other male could go near her without scenting me on her, and know that she was mine.

“I want this.” And her fingers curled around my hard shaft, stroking me. I groaned, and she lifted her eyes to mine. “Make me yours.”

My nostrils flared. I kneeled between her legs, reaching forward to brush some of her wild auburn hair from her face. “I won’t claim you, not tonight. We have stuff to sort out before either of us is ready for that, but I am going to make love to you. If you want me to stop, at any time, all you have to do is tell me.”

She nodded and raised her hand, placing it against my cheek. “I will. But just...go slow...okay? I, er, it’s been a while…”

A low satisfied rumble escaped my chest. Ignoring my hypocrisy at how pleased it made me that she hadn’t had other lovers since Shane, I opened her legs then slid my length through the wetness between them. We both moaned.

“Lina, look at me.” I craved that connection to her, to her soul. I wanted to watch her beautiful eyes and the expression on her face as I slid into her. Carefully, I lined the head of my cock with her entrance. Claiming her mouth in a slow and deep kiss that sent my head spinning, I slowly pushed inside her. When her muscles gripped me, it made me grunt. She was so tight I had to stop. I’d never felt anything like it. I pulled back, then gently but firmly pushed forward, forcing more of my body into her tightness.

“Fuck…” I moaned, sweat trickling down my spine as I tried to hold myself back, but my control was slipping. My wolf was going crazy as he tried to reach his mate. But I held him, and myself, back. It was too soon.

Her eyes fluttered closed, her fingernails scoring my back as she lowered her grasp from my shoulders to my hips. A sigh escaped her, and I gently nipped her lower lip to distract her as I gave one last thrust and slipped inside her fully.

“Open your eyes, love.” I needed to know she was with me.

She did. At that moment I knew there was no going back for either of us. “Owen…” She whispered my name and arched her back as her internal muscles gripped me tight. I felt the need to possess her slam through my blood and bones just as she had possessed me from the moment we met all those years ago. I pulled my hips back, still kissing her, and thrust in again, fighting to control my body against the living, breathing need in my soul. Unbidden, my canines dropped. I fought my instincts to bite her as she gasped my name, over and over. It took everything in me to pull back and stop moving. We stared at each other. A primal light danced in her eyes. It was only there for a second, but I saw it—Ifeltit. Alpha. Her wolf was an alpha, I could feel her strength. It was the first time I’d ever seen any hint of her wolf. Pride swelled in my soul. My girl was far more powerful than she let on. That was why she could fight to secure the Beta position against males supposedly stronger than her.

She is my equal, my perfect match.

That thought set me off even more, making my blood sing. My gaze ensnared hers, our connection so powerful that it stole my breath. I surged forward, my hips slapping against hers.

“Mine…” I growled.

She threw her head back, grunting as I drove my hips forwards again and again, and she met me thrust for thrust.

“Yes, I’m yours. And you are mine. Now, godsdammit, fuck me like you mean it!” And she dug her fingers into my ass cheeks, urging me to follow her order.

Any semblance of control disappeared at her demand. My fear of hurting her was still there, and although part of me still watched for signs of distress, I gave in to my desire to please her.

Our bodies were slick with sweat, my pelvis hitting hers, each slam vibrating through our bodies. I paused only to lift her legs over my shoulders, needing to get as deep into her body as possible. Every time I tried to check that she was okay, she just demanded more. So I gave it to her. I set a punishing pace, sweat beading over my skin, and running down my spine, as I tilted her hips to hit the spot inside that I knew would make her scream with pleasure.

Her muscles fluttered around me, and her pupils dilated.

“Oh gods. Owen...please...I’m going to…”

“That’s right, baby. Come. For me.”
