She stared right back, her panting mouth curving into a desperate little smile.
“Three’s good.”
“Four,” I corrected, “and now I’m wondering how the fuck he did it. Gods…!”
“Four is… perfect.”
We were moving in tandem now, finding a rhythm. Faster and faster, it was like when our wolves ran through the forest together. I could almost see her cute little grey wolf’s form in my mind, as I stared into her human eyes. Her pants matched mine, her heart beating at the same rapid clip, I was sure of it, and there was a comfort to it. I might be strangling my dick, trying to hold back the inevitable, but she was right there with me.
Nails prickling across my skin let me know what was happening, then she threw her head back. A triumphant shout, I ignored it completely, eyes fixated on the creamy expanse of her neck. Mark her, the wolf demanded. Bite down and make clear to every other male who she belonged to. Knot her! Claim her! Instead, I lowered my head down in a series of shudders as my cum splattered over her, pressing the gentlest of kisses to her pulse point. Soon, I promised the wolf, soon.
“Bloody hell…” Briar blinked, then looked down, seeming to notice her state for the first time. “That… helped a lot. Thanks.”
We both snorted at that lame ending, but of course, this was when the real work began.
“So Jace told you that cum inside you helps keep the heat at bay for longer?” I said. She nodded. “But that has some risks. He talked to you about birth control?”
“It’s not an issue.”
I couldn’t help but grin at that as I went to work.
“I mean, it is.” I scooped up my cum and then rubbed it into her folds, the skin there an alarmingly dark red. Her eyelids lowered, making clear that everything was A-OK. “If I breed this hot little cunt, I want it to be when I’m balls deep in you.”
Mum always said I had a foul mouth, and when Briar stiffened, I kicked my own arse mentally for killing the mood. When my fingers delved deeper, pushing the cum inside my mate, whatever offence I had caused seemed to be forgotten quickly. She gripped the sink tightly, pushing up into my fingers, forcing them deeper and deeper.
Yet her scent had changed.
Not to mark the temporary break of her heat, or that burnt scent which marked her anger or frustration, but somehow sour. Like roses that had been tossed once they’d withered and died. Before I could ask why, she stiffened, the pulses of her cunt weaker now as she rode out her last orgasm.
I picked her up and set her on her feet, promising mentally to step away, and yet her arms went around me.
“I’m not going to say thank you again.”
Her voice was muffled by my chest as I let my arms cradle her close.
“Good, because honestly, all of that was more for me than you, so hey, thanks for trusting me to help.”
Her head tilted backwards, and there was mischief in her eyes as she gazed up at me.
“So we were just giving each other a helping hand?”
“Sending out emails, fixing lawnmowers.” I shrugged. “I think you’ll find I’m a pretty handy guy.” Daring another kiss,I bent down and brushed one against her lips. “If you keep me around, you might find me useful.”
And that was the wrong thing to say.
She stepped free, smoothing her hands down her sides.
“Just until my heat breaks.” There was a note of doubt in her voice, but was that her or her wolf? “I wish I could do this another?—”
My finger went to her lips, because all I was hearing was self-conscious overthinking.
“Whatever you need.” I looked at her meaningfully. “I mean it. If it’s in my power to help, I want to. So… emails?” Briar shook her head with a laugh, pulling a robe hanging from the back of the door on, when a loud thumping at the front door had us both looking down the stairs. “Or dealing with whoever the fuck that is. Does your mother owe money to the Mafia or something, because whoever this is…?”
Gideon.
I jerked open the front door, ready to tell a very persistent door-to-door salesman to piss off, only to find my brother standing there looking way too pale. His eyes burned bright gold the way they did whenever he was pissed. So around me, all the time. They took in my naked state and Briar’s robe, then narrowed.
“What’re you doing?” He snapped that at me. “This was not what we discussed.”
