Page 97 of The Alpha's Mates

I gave a rueful laugh. "Yes."

"I figured." She looked over at me and cocked her head. "Being the alpha of such a big pack must be tiring."

Considering her statement, I shrugged my shoulders. "It's worth it. I like taking care of those around me."

"And who takes care of you?" A smile stretched over her face. It was wicked and inviting all at once.

My brow arched. "As my mate, that would be your job."

"Oh, well then... How can I help you, Alpha?"

Stretching my legs out in front of me, I patted my thigh. "Come here, High Priestess."

She wasted no time, throwing a leg over my thighs as she hovered over my lap. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she leaned in to kiss me.

I let her have control for a few minutes before taking it back. She moaned into my mouth as our tongues tangled together.

Her hips rocked against me as she sank down, grinding our bodies together, trying to get friction where she needed it most. I gripped her hips and held her still. "Not yet," I growled against her lips. I knew she and the others had been fucking, and had no problem with it, but that meant I could make her hold off on her orgasm. Tease her a little.

She whimpered, but nodded.

"Take your shirt off."

Her eyes flashed with excitement as she pulled the soft material over her head and tossed it aside. Her breasts bounced free as she watched me, waiting to see what I would do. They were large and full, just like the rest of her, but they fit her body perfectly.

I cupped one in each hand and kneaded them gently. Her nipples pebbled into tight peaks under my touch. She moaned as I rolled them between my fingers. "You like that, Little One?"

She nodded, biting down on her lip as she tried to hold herself still.

"Good girl. Hold still until I tell you to move." I continued playing with her tits as I leaned in and kissed along her neck. Her pulse beat wildly against my lips and I nipped at it.

A shudder ran through her body and she moaned again. "Soren-"

"No," I cut her off. "I liked when you called me Alpha."

Her eyes darkened as she stared at me, hunger burning in their depths. "Alpha."

"Do you want more?"

She nodded, but didn't speak further.

"Say it."

She swallowed hard before whispering, "I want more, Alpha."

"More what, Mate?"

"More of your touch. More of you."

I grinned at her. "Such a good little mate. So fucking perfect."

Her hips rocked against mine again, seeking friction. She wanted me to touch her where it mattered most, but I wasn't ready for that yet.

"You're so impatient," I teased her.

She nodded. "I need-"

"I know what you need," I assured her. "And you'll have it soon enough. Get on your back."
