Page 63 of Country and Clove
She turned to face him, her cheeks turning ruddy.
“Oh, please. Drop the pretense.” Liv snorted. “We know y’all fuck in here after every session.”
Clove’s mouth popped open. “We do not—”
“Don’t deny it. Remember? Abigail left her sweatshirt last week and when I came back to find it, bam! I got a face full of Aaron’s dick.”
“How lucky for you.” Aaron smirked.
“Ugh, not even. Not my equipment of choice.” She winked at Abigail and the two strode out hand in hand. Shoving past them, Ginger barreled into the room and pulled Clove into a bear-hug.
“How’s my super amazing badass magical twin?” Ginger pulled back to grin at Clove. Clove’s sister had been closer and more supportive than ever since Waylin passed. Aaron had watched their relationship change, growing stronger by the day. Clove gave Ginger a half smile.
“I’m not that amazing, really. Half the time I can’t even control—”
“You don’t have to do that anymore.” Ginger took both of her hands. “You downplayed your magic for so many years. Hell, you hid your gifts from the world. All to protect me. But you don’t need to protect me anymore. And you certainly don’t need to hide how incredibly special you are. It was always meant to be you.” Ginger ran her fingertips affectionately down the blue stripes framing Clove’s face. Tears shone at the corners of Clove’s eyes, and Aaron’s heart lit. He knew how freeing that acceptance was for his mate. And in some ways, he bet it was for Gigi, too.
“Thank you.” Clove’s voice cracked as she dragged Ginger back into a fierce embrace.
“I’ll leave you guys to it. Hunter says y’all getextra practice sessionsin after everyone leaves.” Ginger gave her a wink and Clove’s mouth opened. Hunter reached out for Ginger, taking her hand a guiding her out. Ginger and Hunter had been inseparable since Dahlia brought him back. She called out over her shoulder, “Now make me some nieces and nephews!”
Clove twisted toward Aaron and narrowed her eyes. “Nice,” she miffed, “now everyone thinks we spend all our time fucking in here.”
“They’re not wrong.” Aaron stalked toward her. Grasping her lush hips, he pulled her to him.
Clove slid her hands into the tiny space left between them and coasted them up his bare chest. “You know we have a perfectly good apartment now.”
“And I intend to make use of that too. But for now…” He dipped his head but she stopped him with a finger to the lips.
“You embarrassed me. So if you want to pin me down and take me here, you’ll have to work for it.” She pushed off of him and took slow steps back, tossing her towel to the ground and assuming a fighting stance.
“You wanna fight, pretty girl?” He circled her, savoring the dark gleam in those green and gold orbs.
“Are you scared to lose?” Her eyes began to glow as her wolf came forward.
“Darlin’, I’ll have you flat on your back with your thighs around my face before you know what’s happened.”
Clove’s pupils blew wide and the scent of her arousal filled the space. Aaron inhaled fully, savoring the peaches and honeysuckle that was all Clove. She noticed, and he lunged at her, taking advantage of her momentary distraction. Clove stumbled backward but Aaron’s arms wrapped around her waist. He lifted her off the ground, preparing to drop her to the mat.
Before he could, that crazy woman dug her fingers into his shirt, kicked off his thighs, and sent her legs up and over his head. Her body weight sailed over him and he lost his hold on her as she yanked him backwards and he stumbled. Clove landed in a crouch before diving away.
Aaron whirled. She was right in his face, throwing punches and kicks like her life depended on it. He blocked her moves. She growled in frustration. She was looking more pissed off by the second. He just grinned. Angry Clove was insanely fuckin’ hot.
He was ready when she sent a knee straight for his groin. He ducked, gripping her thigh and jerking forward. The move sent her straight to the floor. He was on her before she could get off her hands and knees.
Clove yelped as he ripped at her sports bra and shorts, shredding the fabric and exposing her lean, luscious body to him. The second she was free of her clothing he flipped her onto her back, pinning her wrists above her head and snarling, demanding submission. Clove shot him a look, and just when he thought she was going to give in, she hooked her leg around his and flipped them over. Aaron’s back slammed down on the mat. Clove clawed at his pants, breathlessly baying as her warm, soft hand freed his hard cock. Straddling him, she pressed it to her center. Aaron’s eyes rolled back as Clove dropped her pussy down onto his sex and took him fully inside her, making them both moan in pleasure.
His mate looked like a fucking goddess, head back, hair messy, lips parted, all while she rode his cock so hard he could burst. He clenched his jaw, willing his body to hold on while his mate bounced on his stiff length, taking what she needed. What he yearned to give her. Aaron’s hands roamed up her curves, toying with her nipples as they pebbled beneath his touch. Clove’s moans grew louder.
Aaron sat up, needing to be closer to her. He gripped her ponytail, dragging her down to meet his mouth. His other hand dug into her hips, coaxing her on. Their bodies were so close, so connected. Clove broke their kiss as a mewl of ecstasy spilled from her lips. Her walls clamped down around him and he thrust up into her, chasing his own release and falling into oblivion seconds later. Clove shuddered, her wet walls pulsing around him as he filled her with cum.
His wolf sent him a flash of Clove—her belly round, stars in her eyes. Was it possible his wolf knew something he didn’t? Clove’s rhythm slowed and she decorated his face and neck with her soft kisses. Aaron wrapped his arms around her, pressing her to him as he breathed her in.
“I’m crazy in love with you, pretty girl.” He cupped her face, sipping at her lips with careful, deep kisses. She sighed and smiled at him.
“I’m crazy in love with you too, country boy.”
The training room doors opened without warning. Aaron flipped Clove, blocking her body with his own.
