Page 36 of Planet Wolf

I rana brush through my hair with my right hand, which shook a little bit less than my left one did, and stared at myself in the mirror. “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Wolf Planet. Yes, I’m a wreck. Yes, I’m sick and probably dying. And I’m mated to three of your best males. Try not to be too impressed with how bad this situation is.” There was a knock, and I was sure they’d all heard me. I had to remember they had heightened abilities. If I didn’t want things heard, then I had to stop saying them aloud. “Come in.”

“Hey.” It was Jadon. He stepped into the bathroom and closed the door. “Don’t talk about yourself that way. Be kind to yourself. You’re amazing. We can say it as many times as you need to hear it, but we wouldn’t want any other mate but you. Not ever. So many things happen to you, and you just keep smiling and keep going. You take on danger. You do things for others, but all the while, you feel terrible and don’t even know why or how it happens.” He came over and put his arms out to draw me to him. He stared at me in the mirror and I looked back at his reflection. “I wish you could see yourself like I see you.”

I blinked away my tears. “Just nervous I guess. I can’t believe I slept through everything after the puking and now we’re here. I’m… ready now.”

I’d put on a white suit that I hoped showed off my eyes and my hair. White had always been my color—or shade, as I was sometimes reminded.

“You’re not. Take a moment.” He ran a hand over his mark on my neck. I shuddered with pleasure. Yep, it was different when they touched me there. The guys had taken ownership of the skin on my neck.

He audibly took a breath, placing his nose against my neck while he did so. “You like that.”

“I do.” I leaned back against him. “How could I not?”

“Open your eyes and look in the mirror.” Jadon used what had to be his bestI’m in chargevoice, and I complied with his order. He slipped a hand up my skirt and pressed his fingers inside of my undies, quickly finding where he wanted to go. “You keep watching yourself.”

I wasn’t sure I could if he was going to do what I thought he was going to do. “Jadon.”

“Trust me, and for right now, obey me.” He sniffed at my mating mark again. “I don’t want you to obey me like the others. You’re my family, and more importantly, my mate. We will talk, and I won’t order, except when it comes to essential things. And right now, it’s essential you see how beautiful you are coming apart in my arms.”

It was? He pressed against my clit and my knees threatened to give out. Jadon knew how to touch me. He stroked his finger over my bundle of nerves again and again. My clit swelled under his ministrations, pulsing with need I hadn’t realized was in me until he touched me. I watched us in the mirror. Jadon pressed a second finger against his first, rubbing the area around my clit until I panted.

My eyes in the mirror that stared back at me were huge. His were closed as he licked my mating mark at the same time. A thought dawned on me through the pleasure haze filling me. This didn’t need to be all about me at that second. I pushed back against his cock, crying out as I did, the pleasure starting to mount inside of me.

He moaned, his hand that wasn’t pleasuring me tightening on my stomach and then moving up to clutch at my breast. “No, mate.” His voice was low, commanding. “Just you right now. I want to be hard all day thinking of you. Seeing you like this, coming apart for me in my arms. It is my right as your mate to give this to you. I need to feel the pain of wanting you, of needing completion in your sweet pussy all day. I crave it.”

I… I had nothing to say to that particularly, because right at the moment, he licked his spot before he bit down on it again. I came. Hard and all at once. He’d told me to keep my eyes open and I did. With my head thrown back and my cries filling the bathroom, maybe I really was beautiful in his arms.

He continued to stroke me as the trembling stopped. Finally, he licked my wound, which would close it faster. They hadn’t explained it to me, but somehow, I knew it.

I love you.His thought traveled to me, and I smiled at him. “Really?”

“Really.” His voice was a whisper. “Good girl.”

“Thank you.” I shook my head. “Are you sure that you want to stay like that?”

He breathed me in again. “Yes. I’m sure. It’ll soften a bit in a minute, but it won’t go away until I can have you again. It just reminds me that I have you. You’re mine. You’re real. And you’re waiting for me. I’ve always liked a little pain. This is the best kind there ever could be.”

He liked the pain? I reached back to stroke him with my fingernail right where I would have bitten him if I could have. He cried out, digging his cock into my ass as he breathed hard. “Fuck. I almost came in my pants. Do that again another time. Just do it. I…” He closed his eyes and moaned. “I can practically picture you biting me there. Your mouth marking me. Close to that kind of pain.” Jadon rambled. I guessed it had been the right thing to do.

We stayed like that for a while. Finally, I admitted, “I’d bite you, if I could. I mean, I could but it wouldn’t do what you’d want it to do. I wanted to during sex. I just can’t. I don’t have the right teeth.”

He breathed hard against me. Jadon had said he wanted the pain. Had he taken on more than he’d planned? Finally, he lifted his head. “You are so incredible. Whenever you’re doubting yourself, I want you to remember what you looked like in this mirror when you came so prettily on my fingers.” Jadon put one in his mouth and moaned, again. “And that you almost brought me to my knees just with your fingertip.”

“We do seem to like to have sex in this bathroom.”

He grinned at me. “We’ll have to visit the ship once a week to keep it going, but you’re going to like your bathroom in our home. It’s much more luxurious, and we’ll just change it to there.” He kissed the back of my neck. “Come on.”

I stepped out of the bathroom and was immediately pulled in Alfie’s arms. “You can’t smell just of him today.” He kissed me, running his hand over my stomach and onto my breasts. “No time to take you the way I wanted, but I have to smell myself on you, too, or I’ll lose it, and I might try to fuck you in public.”

I widened my eyes. That was so un-Alfie. “Really?”

“Really.” He kissed me again and then nodded like he was satisfied. “Okay. Today will suck until we get home. I’ll hate it, too. You can’t smell that, so I need you to know—I hate the capital city. My parents are, and always have been, miserable shitheads, probably because they settled for a half-life. But Jadon’s parents are worse, and I am not unhappy about the idea of his father dying.” He stepped back. “Plus, you look beautiful, and I just want to lay you down in one of the beds in our home and lick you all over.”

At no point had he said anything about my health. It was sexy; he was so lost to wanting me right then. I hoped I wouldn’t ruin it by fainting or seizing. “Thank you, Alfie. I love you.” I couldn’t send the thought, but I could say it.

He blinked, rapidly. “Do we have to go?” The question wasn’t to me, it was to Jadon.

“You said speed up the engines, I need the medicine at home. We did that.” Jadon patted him on the back. As we walked toward the door, Carl pulled me into his hug.
