Page 44 of Homecoming

As they kiss again, Kat sinks to the ground, watching as Noah removes the cloak, strips his pants, and drops into the grass next to her. Pulling him close, she holds him tight. The firmness of his erection presses against her leg and melting into his arms, she groans in anticipation against his lips.

“I want you so much.”Noah growls as his lips trail down her neck, his hands caress hershoulders,and he drags her body on top of him.

Kat wraps her legs around his waistandeasing the stiff hardness of his length inside her, throws back her head and moans in ecstasy as she slowly rocks her hips against his. Noah leansforward and brushing the plump softness of his lips teasingly against her breast, he toys with her nipple as their desire-filledbodiesgrind in tune with each other.

“Noah…” Kat gasps each time the hard want of his dick presses her clit. She moans in impatient delight as he fills her. Pushing deeper inside while she wriggles and squirms on top of him. “Oh God…that feels so good.”

“Yeah… it does,” he moans as his orgasm rises to its peak.

Kat’s lips search for his. Her eyes widen and with flushedcheeks,she holds Noah tight in her arms. Their naked bodies come together as one and they continue in a frenzy of touching and kissing until they’re both ready to cum.

“Noah, I love you.”

“And I love you, too...” Noah smiles as he strokes his hand down the length of her hair. “Very much.”

Four days later

Katgruntsandtakesa deep breath. “Urrghhh…” she groans as she pushes the barbell upward and holds it still in the air. Her body shakes, arms wobble and closing her eyes, she grits her teeth as she starts to count backward. “Five… Four……thrr…reee… Oh shit!”

“Hey, what the fuck?” Digby grabs the barbell and slowly lowers it back into position on the stand. “Kat, what in the hell are youdoin’? That’s far too much weight for you to bepushin’right now.”

“I had it!” she growls sternly.

“Sure, I know, but…” he sighs. “Do you mind if I work out in here, or do you want me to leave?” He ignores the snarky snarl that drops from her lips as she lays resting against the bench.

“You’re good togo ahead andwork out.” Using a towel, she wipes the beading sweat from her brow. “I never heard you all come back last night.”

“No, it was late. Andeverythin’considered, I thought it might be for the best if I stayed on the couch—I didn’t wanna disturb you.” He smiles as he strips his tee-shirt and, dressed only in black shorts and running shoes, he pulls himself up onto the metal bar suspended above his head. Counting quickly, he continues in a rapid succession of pull-ups—grunting and stretching with each pull.

Kat sits up straight to watch and can’t help but notice the way his biceps flex and the muscles in his back strain. With each pull upwards, Digby curls his legs and tightens his torso. A smile turns at the corners of Kat’s lips and her body heaves a silent groan as she feels the sudden throb of lust between her legs. Her mind wanders and leaning back resting on her elbows, shesips from the canteen of water and admires the view.

Digby stares into the mirror on the wall in front of him and notices Kat watching him. With a grin creeping across his lips, he picks up his pace and does a faster set of reps. After ten more, he holds at the top and purposefully flexes his body as he tightens his stomach muscles and lifts his legs showing off.

Kat knows what he’s doing and, rubbing her head with the towel, she fluffs her ponytail and loosens her curls. “I should go, I wanted to put in a run before lunch—check out my time.” She touches the screen on the white watch around her wrist, setting her goals.

Digby drops from the bar and turns around. “Hey, you’re not pushing yourself too hard, are you? I mean all this weightliftin’and now a run? Kat, what’sgoin’on?”

“Nothing. I’m fine. Don’t worry, I just need to make a start with my training. I need to firm up some of this extra pup weight and get myself back into shape if I’m going to stand any chance of getting backmyplace on the team. I still have to talk with Darius, but I need to know I can physically do it.”

“That’s really what you want? To get back on the team. But what about the pups? Who’s gonna take care of them? Hell, you’re stillfeedin’Evelyn. How’s that gonna work?”

“They’ll be fine. Helena’s here now and Noah too. He should have the cabin finished soon, and he said he’s going to give up his job at the club to concentrate on his craft work. He has several orders already and so he’ll be around a lot more to help with them. I, uh… I enrolled the boys at Rosie’s daycare already. They’ve been there the past couple of days while you’ve been away—so I could concentrate more on training.”

“What? Why didn’t you talk to me about this? You didn’t think to wait until I got back to discuss it? Kat, I thought you said… you said Rosie wasn’t to go near the pups.”

“I know what I said about Rosie, but that was a while ago now and I wasn’t always thinking straight. I was wrong, and I already apologized to her for that. Besides, she has the perfect setup at the daycare she started and the boys are loving it there. Hey, did you know she split from Samuel? After everything that happened, he wanted to go off to be a doctor elsewhereandshe didn’t want to leave the commune. I think they’ve managed to stay good friends and I have to say, she’s turning into a really smart businesswoman. She already has plans to open more daycare facilities in the city—like a chain. Darius gave her some of Ezra’s money and she’s used that to get started. I think it was the very least she deserved after everything that happened and now, she gets to live a whole new life.” Kat leans forward and reties the laces on her pink running shoes. “I’m sure,wellnot completely sure, but I think she’s seeing someone new now. Anyway… Lukas loved being there with the other pups. It gives him more for him to do and tires some of his energy. Luka is… well, he’s getting used to it—if only I can get him to leave the damn cat behind,” she smiles. “He’s obsessed with it.”

“Oh yeah,the cat.” Digby rolls his eyes. “You know, I still don’t think Noah’s told Darius about that thing yet. Rather him than mecuzGod knows what he’s gonna say and I swear I heard Lukatalkin’to it—like a proper full-on conversation.”

“Yeah, it’s his new imaginary friend. I don’t think he realizes yet that not every creature is like us, but I guess it’s an upgrade from talking to a rock, right?”

“I don’t know, I think I liked the rock better—it didn’t stink like the cat does.” Digby laughs and looking at her, he picks up the weights in front of him and lifts with a growling grunt.

Kat bites at the corner of her lip. The smell of Digby's sweat fills the room, and suddenly she's overwhelmed by a lustful desire. The sensation floods her body, and she can feel a pulsing throb between her legs that she can’t control as she watches each dip, each flex, and every strain of his muscles as he works out.

A huge grin creeps slowly across Digby’s face. “We haven’t done this in a long time.”

“Done what?”
