My Calendar Men Boxed Set (8 page)

Her phone rang and, when she looked at the readout, she saw his name. She pressed the button and asked shortly, “What do you want, Kale?”

“Come out to the backyard and see.” 

The rumble of his voice made her nipples hard.
Slut,
she berated her inner self
. Yeah,
yeah, go get yours.
She shook her head sadly. Even her subconscious was giving her attitude.

“You can’t be outside. I didn’t hear your bike,” she announced.

“I stopped it down the block and pushed it in,” he replied, and then cajoled, “April, baby, come outside and see Daddy. I miss you and I have to show you something. It’s something I’ve kept from you for a long time.”

“You don’t have a wife and kids out in my yard, do you?’ she asked suspiciously. “Trust me, I will not handle that well.”

Kale gave a husky laugh. “No, baby girl, it’s nothing like that. Just come on down and don’t run away, please?

She loved when he used that southern twang and called her things like baby girl or darling. She barely got that he was originally from Columbia South Carolina out of him. She could picture him on that bike going all those miles to see her. He was that kind of guy.
Just not the commitment type
.

She stuck her feet in her slippers and tightened the belt of her robe before heading downstairs. She could at least hear him out. 
Yeah, that’s why you’re going outside with only a robe on and your
inside are clenching.

She rolled her eyes.
Shut up,
she chastised her inner voice. Maybe she was insane because her mental conversations were getting more frequent.  By the glass doors that led out to her yard, she took a deep breath and opened them. She gasped and put her hand over her mouth. Kale stood in her backyard, completely nude, and only one word came to mind…. Magnificent.

“What are you doing?” she asked in a fierce whisper. “Put your clothes on!”

“I can’t. I have to something to show you,” he said mildly.

Her gaze traveled down the muscled contours of his body until she reached his cock. Knowing the pleasure that one particular part of his anatomy had given her time and time again gave her chills.

“I’ve seen what you have to offer before. You can put it away now,” she snapped.

“Your mind is in the gutter, sweetheart. Something else.” Kale hesitated before he went on. “I don’t want to scare you, but I also know if I don’t tell you…. show you what I truly am, then we can’t move on…You told me to leave, but here I am to share the biggest secret in my life with you. Because when I do, you’ll understand why our relationship was as it was, and now it can change.”

“You’re being very evasive.” April wondered what he was talking about. The seriousness of his tone made worry form in the pit of her stomach.

“No, I’m worried you might hate me or be disgusted and just plain terrified,” Kale admitted. Such words from him made her even more scared. He was always so strong, and showed no fear. What secret could he hold that made him show any vulnerability?

She stepped down to the grass, stood before him and spoke truthfully. “There is nothing you could do to make me afraid of you.”

He nodded and stepped further away. “Then watch and see another part of me.”

April stared at him as he crouched low to the ground. His body began to shake as she held her breath. A low groan that reminded her of the ones he made in the midst of their lovemaking came from his throat. His body shifted and changed form. April couldn’t help the cry that came to her lips. She clasped her hand to her face once more as this man she thought she knew and the one she loved changed into something not human.  His skin changed to form fur, and legs shortened to that of an animal. The process took only minutes, but to her it seemed like time slowed down.  When the transformation was over, instead of Kale her human lover, in front of her stood the biggest wolf she had ever seen.

His yellow eyes peered at her and blinked. He stood still, waiting for her to make the next move.
What should it be?
she wondered wildly. The scared woman inside her wanted to run screaming into the night. But this was Kale, the man she loved and waited for each year to come to her. What did it matter what was inside him? She became an herbalist because she believed in more than western medicine. She knew the magic of herbs, read and was taught by shamans. They believed all people had a spirit guide that manifested in the shape of an animal. Could they be one and the same in one man?

It was no leap to believe that men could be something more. Most people would never get to see this. He chose to show her, and she pushed fear aside. He had done her an honor. She stepped forward hesitantly. Kale stood waiting patiently, staring with yellow eyes. April passed her hand through his fur. It was so soft, and beneath she could feel the thick chords of his muscles bunch.

She knelt in front of and caressed his face in her palm, rubbing his fur from his snub nose to his ears. “This is you, isn’t it? You’re so beautiful, Kale. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

He morphed instantly back to human form and instead of her holding the face of a wolf, she now held his stubbled cheeks.

“I thought you would hate me. People tend to hate what they don’t understand,” Kale answered truthfully. “But after all this time of coming to see you and being with you, I could tell your mind would be open.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me something sooner?”  April asked.

“My life is complicated. There’s so much more I have to tell you,” Kale said. “I’m part of a unit called the Army Beasts.”

“And they’re all like you?” April asked. She thought she knew what the world had to offer, but never this.

“Yes, all like me. Some are even married now. My boss Chase is, and his second in command Zane just got married.” Kale hesitated. “It got me thinking about you and our relationship. I’ve been taking it for granted that you would always be here, and then I tried to picture my life if you were not. I couldn’t stand the thought of another man holding you or smelling your scent. Seeing the way you whisper you love me just before you fall asleep. I don’t ever want to lose that.” He gave her a slow grin. “I was coming here to tell you that before you kicked me out. I want to be with you every hour of every day. Simply put, April, I love you.”

“You heard me whisper I love you in my sleep?” she asked. All this time, she’d thought her secret was safe. 

“Each and every time because my heart was saying it back to you.” Kale cupped her cheek and kissed her gently. “Can you accept me as I am?”

They were the words she’d wanted to hear for so long, with some added surprise, but the words meant the same nonetheless. Others like him had found love and had relationships. Why couldn’t he…with her? It had broken her heart when she had to tell him to leave, and she wasn’t about to let him go, not again.

“I couldn’t do anything less.” She smiled and kissed him in return before laughing out loud. “Oh my God, you’re a wolf!”

“Now I’m going to eat you up.” He growled.

“Oh yes, Kale. I missed you so much,” April whispered. When his lips met hers, she succumbed to the ache that he elicited in her.  April was glad she had those high privacy fences put up around her yard because she was about to loved hard by her wolf.

April loved drying her sheets and blankets outside. The air made the lavender fabric softener she used smell all the sweeter, as if it was kissed by the sun that dried the fabric. She had washed all her spring linens and this was the last batch from the dryer. She didn’t protest when Kale pulled one of her Afghans off the clothes line and spread in on the grass. He knelt on the fabric and held out his hand to her.  April’s eyes traveled down his muscled chest to the engorged flesh of his cock jutting out from between his legs. The ache she’d fought against early that evening came back with a sudden force that stole her breath. She slipped her robe from her shoulders and stepped toward him. She knelt and placed her hand against the hard muscles of chest, feeling them jump beneath her fingers. She looked up at him and saw the flash of his wolf eyes before his lips descended to hers.

Kale lifted his head to look into her eyes. “Be my mate. The wolf in me needs its companion, and that is you.”

“You have me for always,” April whispered.

His mouth took hers with a kiss that sent her senses reeling.  She had seen her man turn to wolf and then back to a man. He vowed his love to her and called her his mate. All this combined with the feeling of his lips made the night more intimate and the pleasure more intense. His big palms massaged her breasts and she pressed her naked form to him.  April felt the hardness of his cock pressed against her belly he reached between them and pressed it high between her thighs.  His hips moved and moaned as the thickness of his rod slide against the lips of her pussy.  The moans mingled and April reached to grab his cock in her hand.

She tore away from the kiss and pressed feverish kisses down his body until she came to his shaft. She took the thick beast in her mouth and feasted on him, taking his hard flesh onto her mouth and loving it with her tongue while she sucked. Kale’s body tensed and he threw his head back with a cry.  She lifted her eyes and he looked like the wolf howling in front of the full moon. 

“Oh God, that feels so good! Your lips on me, damn, I missed it so much,” Kale growled.

She drew away from his cock, leaving it wet, and he pulled her back up to him by her shoulders. April gasped as he nuzzled her neck and bit the sensitive skin there. She closed her eyes while his lips caused excitement to dance along every nerve ending of her skin.  Kale cupped her breasts and lifted them to his mouth. April gasped in pleasure. She arched her back, pushing herself more into his mouth. She loved the suction of his lips around her nipple and way his tongue flicked around the sensitive bud.

“Kale, oh yes!” She moaned. 

He laid her down and she felt Afghan against her back. He made her so aroused that she swore she could feel each chord of the knitted fabric on her skin. He lay so that his head was between her legs. Kale placed his hot lips on her inner thighs, and her stomach clench with anticipation.

“April, do you know I have your scent imprinted in me, and your taste, it makes me crave you in so many ways.”

As his kisses got closer to her core, April’s breath came in little pants. She spread her legs wider in silent need to feel his lips on her. She couldn’t help the soft moan of frustration that escaped her while she waited to feel him taste her pussy.  He was so close to her core she could feel his breath against her, making her so hot she raised her hips trying to just feel him.

April whispered urgently, “Taste me, please! I want to feel your mouth on me.”

Kale’s moan was guttural. He buried his face between her legs and began to lick at her pussy like a man possessed. His tongue penetrated over and over again before he sucked at the bud of her clit.  She cried out when his fingers replaced his tongue, going deeper inside her with increasing pressure.  Her hips moved to meet each thrust of his fingers. Her head arched against the Afghan as the sensation rolled through her. Her mouth opened in a silent cry as she gripped the fabric spread on the grass and the green blade broke beneath her clenched fingers

She lifted her hips, pumping against his hand, reaching for the pinnacle of pleasure that was careening closer to her with each lick of his tongue. When she came, she cried out. Each time her pussy gushed its fluid, he moaned and pressed his mouth to her with more insistence. Her fingers grabbed at his hair, pulling him to her while his body came apart under his mouth.

“I want you inside me. Please, Kale, please!” she begged on breathless pant.

The look in his eyes was almost predatory when he raised his head. He flipped her on her back easily and raised her knees so her ass was high in the air. She didn’t need to be a wolf to know this was a dominant male taking his mate. His hand fingered the swollen lips of her pussy before he impaled her on his cock. He reached around grabbed her hips, lifting her against him with each thrust into her waiting pussy. He groaned a long, deep sound that was filled with excitement and pleasurable torment. April began to undulate on his rod and their dance began.

“Ah yes, yes, fuck me.” April arched her back as he pumped into her. She could feel the thickness of his cock spreading her wide and cause delicious friction to the walls of her pussy.

Kale leaned over her and his powerful thighs brushed against her. He grabbed her hair and pulled her head back so more of her neck was exposed and nipped it while he took her. The combination of being filled with him and his hot mouth biting at her neck made her pussy clenched around him. This went past any time they had made love. Now Kale was unrestrained with no more secrets. April like under the moonlight with the truth out, he was free to be who he was.

“More, Kale, give me more!” she cried out.

She was thrilled with his fierce passion. He pulled out almost all the way and  the tip of his cock poised at her entrance before he slid back into her deep with a harsh, low groan.  He fucked her with smooth, deep strokes. He murmured her name, whispering words of love and possession until she could hardly stand it.  The fire that was in him consumed her. Hot and slick, she felt his thick member glide along her insides, and it made every nerve ending sensitive to every movement. His hand was on her back, pressing into her and holding her at the same time. She reared backwards to meet his every thrust, and their bodies met with a slapping sound.

“April, I can’t hold out much longer,” Kale said in a low voice. “You’re mine, always.”

She loved what his words implied. He was going to be with her and her dreams were finally coming true.  “Come for me; be with me,” he demanded, and pumped into her with such ferocity that she could only hold on to the swirling haze of pleasure around her.

April could feel her body reaching for the pinnacle of her orgasm.  She tried to muffle her scream as her body shook from the intensity. A fierce cry tore from his lips and his hot see filled her with every thrust. He kept up his movements until she cried as she came again, mingled with his own release.  He lowered himself to the afghan and pulled her down with him, curling his body around hers.  Even in the midst of their passionate lovemaking, his body comforted hers as they cooled.
