Chapter Seven

As the sun set to allowtwilight to descend, the forest transformed into a magical stage for nightly adventures.The forest floor was pitch dark since the crescent moon wasn’t throwing enough light to filter through tree branches.For humans, it would be scary as hell, but for a wolf, darkness was freedom.Kinleigh stood on the deck at the back of Daire’s house, breathing in the crisp night air laced with the scent of damp soil and musty foliage.The rustle of leaves, the whisper of the wind, and the distant call of a night owl.The nocturnal creatures gave a symphony with the grandest of instruments as they moved and thrived in the shadows.

Kinleigh had always felt sorry for humans who couldn’t understand the enchanting world of shifters.She couldn’t imagine going through life without her wolf.

A soft footfall let her know Daire had joined her.“Ready?”he asked.

She nodded.Facing one another, they slowly undressed, letting their clothes fall around their feet.Kinleigh admired his muscular physique.His chiseled abs.Defined biceps.The V-shaped Adonis belt.His hard cock.He winked and then he was gone as he allowed his wolf to take their skin.He brushed his soft fur against her legs as he urged her to shift.She gave him a scratch behind his ears before she allowed the change to fall over her.

She was a lot smaller than his massive animal.The two wolves stared, sizing each other up.Then he bent his head to run his snout against hers in a friendly gesture.Her wolf liked his very much so she playfully pushed back before giving him a little yap and taking off toward the woods.He immediately gave chase through the densely packed thicket.Many times he could’ve overtaken her, but his wolf seemed more than happy to let her lead.

Their agile forms effortlessly navigated the crowded trunks of towering trees, their bodies weaving a path through the shadowed expanse.Air stirred with the soft thud of paws on the damp earth, punctuated by occasional, playful yips that echoed through the woods.Their movements a blend of grace and raw power, muscles rippling as they surged through the undergrowth.

Hours later, they ended up where they had started—back on Daire’s deck.The wolves allowed them to regain their skin, and as soon as he could, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.Hard.Plunging his tongue into her mouth as if he was trying to devour her whole.It was a kiss of possession, of lust, and it triggered an answering need in Kinleigh.When they eventually broke apart, they stared at each other, panting heavily.

Daire lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her back to his bedroom.He knelt on the mattress and then tumbled her from his arms before coming down on top, kissing her mouth, her neck, making his way down her body.Their eyes met and locked, and the sliver of moonlight trickled through the window, illuminating the desire in his eyes.An answering need rose up as she arched into his hands.

His hot mouth engulfed the tip of one breast while he rolled the taut nipple on the other.She panted as he pushed her legs apart, settling between her thighs.Waiting with bated breath, the tension coiled, and when he finally buried his face in her pussy, she couldn’t help the moan that came out.Licking her.Sucking her.Gently biting down on her sensitive clit.She curled her fingers into his hair and thrust against his face when he showed no mercy.Her orgasm rose quickly, screaming his name as she fell from the precipice.

“You are so fucking sexy,” he murmured as he made his way back up her satiated body.

“Not so bad there yourself,” she murmured.“Now, fuck me like you mean it.”

He took hold of one of her thighs and rested it over his hip, which lined his cock up directly with her open slit.With one thrust, he filled her up.She took him deep into her body, raising her hips up as he pounded into her harder, deeper.Possessing her.The world ceased spinning until it was only them, caught in a cosmic swirl.Pleasure so intense it consumed her.She never wanted this moment to end.Then he reached down between their bodies and rubbed her clit, and that was all she needed to fly apart.As she rode that plateau, he came with a loud shout.

As Kinleigh wrapped her arms around him, trying to get her breathing under control, she acknowledged to herself that when she returned home, she would miss him.

Kinleigh held the boxof pastries while Daire walked beside her.Garlic and herbs scented the air, mixing with the sweet smell of propane.As soon as they rounded the back of the house, a host of greetings came their way.A woman with pink hair approached, smiling.

“Welcome!”she said, holding out her hand.“I’m Anais.You must be Kinleigh.”

Kinleigh shook her hand.“Thank you for inviting me.”

“Our pleasure.Come,” she said with a wave of her hand.“You can set the box over there on that table.”

Ledger walked over and slid a hand around his mate’s waist.“Glad you two could make it.”

“No talking shop,” Anais warned him.“This is a relaxing time.”

Ledger held up his last finger.“Pinkie-swear.”

Anais hooked it with her own and the loving smile she gave her mate made Kinleigh envy the bond.As quickly as she had that thought, she pushed it away.There were lots of mated couples and she couldn’t spend her life jealous and sad.
