The pitch rises and lowers. I can’t figure out if it’s getting closer or revving up.

It’s distracting with how foreign it is.

“You know…” Her voice drops to a whisper. “I usually like it when you growl at me, but when you’re agitated, you can be intimidating.” Her hands slide into the back pockets of my jeans and her head tilts against me as we both hold our breath so I can listen.

I didn’t know I was making a noise. She brings it out in me.

“Hold that position. I’ll be right back.” I have to readjust my cock to walk, but I need to investigate.

Heading to the barn, the hogs and the chickens drown any chance of hearing. I give them a cursory glance before starting a wide circle around the house. When I pass the greenhouse, it gets so quiet I can’t discern it from the normal outdoors.

If Alpha was here, I’d ask him. The rest of the wolves stay back in the caves during the day since they do most of their hunting at night.

Damn. I wish I had better ears.

Why is it so high frequency?

I can’t figure it out, but it has me on edge.

After a full perimeter check, there’s nothing.

When I push the door open, she’s still perched on the counter with the sun beaming through the window across her like a halo.

“Oh, you’re such a good girl staying right where I told you to.” My hands slide up her thighs as I push between her knees.

“I guess I’ve been hanging around with all you dogs so long, I’ve picked up a couple of tricks.” Her bottom lip pinches between the whites of her teeth in a teasing grin.

“Mmm, then let me teach you how to lie down next.” My mouth seeks hers as I grab her hips, yanking her tightly against me.

She has me hard again. Always.

“I think I need another helping of breakfast.” Rolling her back, I lift her knees over my shoulders and nuzzle my nose into the thin khakis covering the small mound of her cunt. “There needs to be a rule about you wearing any pants.”

She gasps when I sink my teeth hard enough to pinch her tender skin.

“Yes, a law. No more covering my pussy. Violators will be spanked.” I roll her ankles further so she’s nearly bent in half on the granite.

It lets me grab the back of her pants and unfurl them from her legs. I’m too impatient to free them from her feet, but drape her knotted heels back over my head.

Her giggle turns into a moan when my tongue presses against her hard little clit.

So wet for me already.

A loud knock on the door rattles us both.

Alpha doesn’t knock, he kicks.

“What the fuck?” I untangle myself from her legs while she scrambles to pull her pants up.

“Who is it?” Her whisper is just enough that I can hear it.

“I don’t know. Go into the bedroom and get the shotgun from under the mattress.” The pistol she used to shoot me is sitting nearby, so I hold it behind the door as I pull it open.

“Howdy. Found this in the woods and wondered if it was yours?” A squatty man with a scruffy gray beard is dangling Hope’s backpack in his fingers.

Behind him is an armored truck covered in spikes with three more men poking from the top with rifles.

How did I not hear the engine?
