Page 44 of Secret Wolf Baby

When I could tell she was close, I stopped, the taste of her still on my tongue. She shot me an irritated glare that only made me laugh as I raised myself. Before she could argue or say anything, I lifted her off her feet, raising her high before thrusting my cock inside her.

She groaned as I began pumping, her legs locking around me. I thrust inside her and let out a groan of my own. She felt incredible. I’d been with other women in the past, of course, but none of them had felt half as amazing as she did. Her hands knotted into fists on my shoulders as her back began to arch.

I kept pumping in and out of her, her own hips gliding up and down in time with mine. She threw her head back, exposing her neck. My wolf snarled as I grabbed her hair and forced her mouth on mine, keeping it there as I continued ramming into her. I knew she was close from the way she squealed, the way her moans grew higher-pitched, becoming more and more irregular. Each sound only intensified my own pleasure and need. All I cared about in that moment was her.

Her fingers dug into my skin, and I could tell she was close. With two more thrusts, she screamed into my mouth as she came, her muscles clenching around my cock. I kept pumping as her hips bucked. Her coming and her hips grindingagainst mine were enough to send me over the edge. I let out my own cry as I came inside her, filling her. My thrusts slowed to a halt as I finished.

We stared at each other, panting, neither of us saying anything as our bodies stayed pressed together. The surprise on her face was mixed with something I hoped was contentment.

Slowly, almost reluctantly, I slid out of her and lowered her to the floor. “Are you all right?” I asked, still trying to wrap my head around what had just happened.

“I’m okay,” she muttered.

I tilted my head, studying her and trying to gauge her reaction. I could sense something was off.

“Are you sure? How are you feeling?” I asked.

“Tired,” she said.

“I’ll take that as a compliment,” I teased. “But I meant more about the sex. You seem…” I trailed off, not sure how to finish that sentence.

She bit her lip. Something about the sight drove my wolf wild, and I could feel my cock twitch as I looked at her. Part of me wanted to pull her toward me and go for another round. But then her next words were like a bucket of ice water dumped on my head.

“It was fun,” she admitted, not looking at me. “Really, I had a great time.”

“I’m sensing a ‘but’ here,” I said.

She nodded. “But I think it should be a one-time thing. Things are complicated enough right now without adding this to the mix.”

My wolf growled in disappointment, and I had to agree with him. Being with Audrey again had made me happy in a way I could never have imagined. Something about it had just felt right. I had been with other women before, but it had never felt like it just had with Audrey.

I tried to mask my disappointment and keep a straight face. Even if it wasn’t what I wanted necessarily, I cared about Audrey, and I wanted to respect her wishes.

“I mean, if you think that’s best, I’m not going to argue,” I said. “I trust that you know what’s best for you.”

“Right,” Audrey said absently. Something unreadable flickered in her gaze before she looked away.

I stood and walked over to her. I gently took her chin in my hand and raised it so her eyes, blue and sparkling like sapphires, met mine.

“That said,” I said, my voice low as my thumb stroked the line of her jaw, “I thoroughly enjoyed myself. And if you ever change your mind, you know where I am.”

Her cheeks flushed an adorable pink. The sight of that alone was enough to drive my wolf wild and make my cock twitch again. All I wanted at that precise moment was to pull her against me again, to kiss her before carrying her over to my bed for a second round.

I gritted my teeth, trying to squash those urges. Audrey wanted this to be a one-time thing, and I was going to respect that. But that didn’t stop me from wanting her again. It had been so long since we had last slept together that I had forgotten how incredible it was. Doing it again had brought back memories and fueled desires I hadn’t realized I still had.

God, I wanted her. I desperately wanted her. The fact that I couldn’t have her made the whole thing worse. And the longer I stayed here in front of her, inhaling her scent and being this close to her, the harder it was to resist those selfish impulses that made me want to kiss her again.

“I’ve got to go,” I said, taking a step back, and Audrey blinked in surprise and confusion. Something flickered again in her gaze, but I couldn’t figure out what.

“Okay,” she said.

“You seemed really eager to go on this mission right this minute,” Will said to me, raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah, I noticed that, too,” Chris said. “Any particular reason?”

“Just want to get this sorted out before too much time goes by,” I said. “Besides, the sooner it’s taken care of, the sooner Audrey can start relaxing more.”
