Page 40 of Alpha Scorned

And although I loved that she was worried about me, I loved the feel of my cock buried in her silken heat far more. My hand speared her hair. “I just did, and you are all the sustenance I need.” I grabbed her hips and pulled her forward. “Do you want to come again?”

“Yes,” was her breathless answer.

I took her hand and pushed it against my erection. “On this?”

“Oh gods, yes.”

I let her fumble with my clothes as I lifted her nightie off. “Damn, you are so beautiful,” I whispered, running my hands over her creamy shoulders.

She blinked, and glanced at her scars.

“No. Don’t do that. You are.” Showing her over and over was the only way to get her to believe me. I went to kiss her neck but she placed her hand on my chest.

“Stop.”

I did, worried I’d triggered a bad memory.

She peered up at me from under her long lashes. “I want to look at you, too.”

I swallowed hard, emotion choking me that she trusted me enough to ask. Her past experience with sex had been so ugly and full of pain, I wanted to show her it could be different.

A strange kind of self-consciousness stirred apprehension in my gut. I was fit and had never had any issues getting females into my bed, but this was my mate. It was ridiculous, but I was actually nervous as she surveyed me. I watched her face as she traced the contours of my chest, grazing her fingertips over my tattoos. The wolf goddess was a depiction of her, one I’d had done as soon as I’d left her years ago. It had been my way of keeping her with me. I groaned, holding still as she brushed her fingers over my sensitive nipples. I was very aware she hadn’t had many lovers, if any, and that I was probably the only male she had ever touched like this. My wolf’s possessiveness at that thought was hard to contain, but I hid it, not wanting to scare her by giving in to my urge to pull her close. I wanted to give control to her. Those demons had taken something beautiful and turned it into something painful and terrifying for Lina, all I could do was give her the control that she had never had in the past. I hoped it was enough to make her see that the physical pull between us could be the most amazing feeling in the world. It already was for me, but I wasn’t sure about Lina.

She stroked her hands over my rigid abdominal muscles and moved her grip to my waistband. Her hands trembled just a little.

“Your pace, baby,” I managed to say, holding her hooded gaze with my own. Leaning in, I kissed her, slow and sensual. She groaned and pulled away. As much as I wanted to chase the lushness of her mouth I forced myself not to.

“I want to see you,” she breathed as she undid the buttons on my pants and pushed my clothes down out of her way until they pooled around my ankles and boots. I kept my hands still, not moving to take them off. My cock was throbbing so hard it hurt. I wouldn’t last long under her touch before I needed to be inside her, but she was setting the pace, and we both knew I’d do whatever she wanted. She encircled my hard shaft with her hand. Sensation flooded me until I was totally at her mercy, leaning into her touch as she moved her grip slowly up and down. A long, tortured groan escaped me.

“Ohhh gods,Lina. If you keep playing like this you’re not going to get what you want.”

Her seductive smile took my breath away. “Really?” She gave me a hard tug and squeeze. “And what are you going to do about that, handsome?” A challenging sultry smirk curled her lips.

Ah shit, that was it, self control, gone. No matter how much I wanted her to set the pace, she’d deliberately handed control right back to me by taunting my dominant side.

I grabbed her hand and shoved it away before I sank my fingers into the compliant flesh of her hips and yanked her to the edge of the worktop. My erection ached, pulsing against her hot slick centre, and there was no hope of me holding back. I drove myself into her hard and unapologetically.

“Yes...” She groaned and wrapped her hands in my hair, twisting enough that it was painful. I loved it. “Kiss me,” she demanded.

Normally I preferred to be the dominant partner when I had sex, but this? My mate demanding my mouth on hers? After everything that had happened to her? It drove me insane. I rocked my body into hers, my tongue leaving no part of her mouth untouched. I devoured her lips until she was gasping for air and I was losing my mind. I bit her lip and soothed it with my tongue as I forced myself to pull away. “Was that to your satisfaction?”

Her eyes glinted and she nodded, her lips swollen and red.

“Good, because now it’s my turn. I’m in charge, and you don’t come until I say so.” I wrapped my hand in her silky tresses and pulled almost as hard as she had on me. She moaned. “Do you understand, Kerores? No orgasms unless I allow it.”

She undulated her hips in defiance. Oh, I liked it, this battle for dominance. I grinned and grabbed her hip with my other hand, holding her still. She tried to move, but I was far stronger than her, no matter that I could feel her alpha tendency simmering under the surface of her desire. It only made me more determined to pit myself against her will. “You’re so fucking sexy, do you know that? I love your strength,” I murmured against her lips, not breaking her stare.

She blinked, and amber bled into her irises.

I held her gaze. “You are an alpha, aren’t you?” But I wasn’t asking my Lina, I was asking the wolf that stared back at me from her eyes. Its full amber eyes were stunning. “I am,” answered Lina, seemingly oblivious that I was talking to her wolf. She blinked and then her wolf disappeared, but mine was elated that he had connected with her. He wanted to follow her, but I held onto him, instinct telling me that would be the wrong thing to do. Lina’s wolf was scared, I could feel it, and so could my wolf. He acquiesced to my instinct to let her come to us when she was ready. Lina shook her head, still unaware I’d just spoken with her wolf, and squeezed my cock with her internal muscles. Lust surged through me, wiping away the questions in my mind. Instead, I kept Lina’s hair clutched in my hand, controlling where her head went and how hard we kissed, and I held firmly to her hip, doing the same with her body.

Each time her body tensed, I slowed down, pulling out until she begged me to continue. Her gaze held mine, her pupils huge and dark. It felt as if she were swallowing my soul. Fuck, I loved her so much. That thought filled me with both hope for our future, and immense fear of what that would mean for me if she rejected me again. I was desperate for her, for anything she would give me. There was no hope of holding back the next time she begged me to let her come. Her teeth sank into my shoulder, almost stealing my self-control.

“Please, Owen, please. I need to come.”

“Okay, baby, it's going to be fierce, and you have to control your screams.” I kissed the side of her mouth gently. “Little ears…” And I glanced back at the bedroom door where Devon lay sleeping.

She nodded as she embedded her teeth in my shoulder.
