"Yo, you good?"

"Yeah, heading back now."

"No leads?" Lev sounds disappointed.

"We got something. We're gonna need back up though." I practically feel his grin through sounds of his howling laughter. "We'll be back soon."

"Still call in an hour. I don't need Dev up my ass."

"You got it." I end the conversation and take a quick look at my mate. "Baby, talk to me."

"What do you want me to say?"

"Are we alright?" Her dark eyes find mine and I decide to pull over to have this conversation. I put it in park and push the seat as far back as I can so I can pull my little mate into my lap. She gasps as I lift her up and settle her right where I want her.

"I need to know we're okay, baby. I know I pushed you, but I was just trying to help."

"I know you were. It's fine." She shrugs off my concerns and it pisses me off.

"It's obviously not fine, you aren't the same. I'm sorry baby." I take her chin in my hand and force her to look at me, "I love you."'

"I know and I love you too. I do." Her words act as a balm, easing the tension and numbing the burning concern that's had me twisted up all day long.

My lips crash against hers. I part her lips with mine and suckle her top lip. Her fang gently grazes my lips, making me moan into her hot mouth. She rocks her body against my hardening length. I let my head fall back. "Don't tease me baby. I need you so fucking bad."

"Aww, is my pup hurting?"

"You know I am. I've been wanting inside you all damn day." She climbs off of me and my wolf growls at the loss of her touch. I force him to stay back, knowing she's not going to tease me. Not too much at least.

She settles in her seat, making me think maybe she is just fucking with me. Shit. I can't take being teased. Not with this tension between us. Her hands slip up her skirt and she moves the lace panties down her pale, slender legs.
Fuck yes.
My hands fly to my zipper so I can unleash my leaking cock. I need to be inside of her as soon as fucking possible. I lift my ass up so I can pull down my jeans and stroke it a few times, waiting for her to climb on top.

She gracefully sits on top of me and slides down my length with ease. Fuck, she's so damn wet and hot. And fucking tight. I moan as she pushes herself all the way onto my dick.

"Fuck, baby. You feel so fucking good." My hands rest on her hips and she stills for a moment. I close my eyes and hold my breath, hoping I haven't scared her off. I only breathe once she starts moving up and down, stroking my dick with her hot pussy. I leave my hands on her hips and dig my fingertips into her flesh, but I don't dare take control. She'll give it to me, but for now I'll be patient.  

Her pace picks up and I have to let her go to grab the wheel behind her. If my hands stay on her I'm going to take control. I'm barely able to keep myself from bucking into her and pounding into that sweet heat of hers. The smell of her arousal and the little moans pouring from those plump lips have me on edge. Sensing my growing need Veronica stops and puts her hands on my shoulders.

"Take me Vince." My eyes shoot to hers. "Take me again. I want you to claim me again."

I don't hesitate to take control. "Turn around." She quickly spins around and positions my cock at her hot entrance. I grip her hips and pound into her as my heels dig into the floor of the car. I piston my dick into her small pussy and nip at her pale shoulder. She moans in pleasure at my teeth grazing her neck. I refuse to lose focus. I need to pay attention to her reaction and make sure I don't cross the line. I focus on the sound of her soft whimpers as her pussy pulses around my dick with the need to cum. My hand reaches around the front of her and I put pressure on her clit. She throws her head back and it lands on my shoulder, exposing her neck to me and making it that much easier to put my teeth right where her claiming mark is. The time has past to truly claim her, but I’ll give her exactly what she wants. And the next full moon, I’ll sink my teeth into her neck and claim her as her mate once again. It's not a normal thing, to claim a mate twice. But we both need this. And I'm sure as fuck not going to deny her. Her pussy spasms on my dick and nearly has me cumming as I slam into her to the hilt, but my eyes focus on her face, making sure it's only pleasure that has her trembling in my arms.

"Vince," she moans my name. I lick her neck and watch as her body jolts from my touch. It makes me smile. As aftershocks pulse through her body, I ease my still hard dick out of her and push the head into her puckered hole. Her eyes pop open at the foreign touch. "Vince." This time my name on her lips is a warning. I'm ready to push her a little. Now that she's sated and has more control than she did chained, I think she'll give it to me.

"Grab the wheel baby, and don't you dare let go." She hesitates to obey, but her little hands grip on the wheel as I ease into her. She bites her bottom lip and the sight of her fangs pressing into the soft plump flesh has me leaking more and more into her. I look in between the two of us and watch as more and more of my cock slowly disappears into her ass. I push harder, burying myself to the hilt as she squirms on top of me.

"You are so fucking sexy, so damn strong and fierce." I move slowly in and out of her. "And you know what I'm going to do with you?  With my powerful mate?" I nip her ear lobe as she moans in ecstasy. “I'm gonna cum in your ass."

Fuck, just saying the words almost has me cumming. I start moving harder into her, picking up my pace. I feel her arousal drip out of her pussy and leak between us and down my thighs. My eyes don't leave her face. I need to make sure she enjoys this. I'm going to push her and take from her and make her fucking love it. I buck into her over and over again until I feel my balls tighten and lift and that familiar tingle pricks at my spine. "I'm gonna cum in your tight ass and you better fucking cum with me.”

My fingers press hard into her clit, demanding another orgasm from her. My fangs dig into her neck; the move makes her body tremble as she screams out another orgasm. I dig my teeth further into her soft flesh as I pound into her ass four more times until I release wave after wave of cum into her. I don't let up on her clit or release her neck until I've drained every bit of her orgasm from her.  

She lays limp in my arms as she comes down from the high. I smile in satisfaction, knowing I've taken her and she enjoyed me being in control. I lick away the bit of blood on her neck and kiss the new mark. A satisfied rumble barrels through my chest; my wolf is finally settling.

I nuzzle into the crook of her neck, "did you enjoy that mate?"

She softly murmurs, "I love you so much." Her heavy head rocks to the side as her lips find mine. Finally, I feel like everything is going to be alright. I nip her top lip which makes her smile. My wolf howls with pride.

“Vince?”

“Yeah baby?”

“I’m thirsty,” her dark eyes focus on my neck as she licks her lips. 
Fuck, yeah
.  My dick twitches, still inside her.

“Go ahead baby,” I arch my neck so she can dig in.

Her small laugh draws my attention back to her.  “Can I take my hands off the wheel?”  My smart ass mate.  I give her a kiss on her cheek.

“Yeah baby, let go.  I got you.”

Part III

Immortal Love

Chapter 1: Devin

"Come on sweetheart, don't look at me like that." I don’t even recognize my own voice as I plead with my mate to be reasonable.  Yet again.

"Like what?"

"Like you're pissed at me and ready to fight." I just walked out of the shower and I can tell she's ready to lay into me again. I fucking love her fire, but damn, what the fuck did I do now?

"I don't wanna fight and I'm not mad." Ariana crosses her legs in the center of the bed and lowers her head; she bunches the covers around her naked waist and pulls at threads.

"Then why are you pouting?" I don't understand my mate and her emotions. Humans should come with a fucking handbook.

"I don't want you to go." She pouts her bottom lip and looks up at me through her thick lashes. Her hazel eyes are brimming with hope that I'll stay with her rather than head out to Still Waters. I stride over to the bed, running the towel over my face and hair once more before dropping it to the floor. The chill on my damp skin does nothing to calm my growing erection. Seeing her naked on a bed, how could I not be hard? Even if she is mad at me, shit, her anger only fuels my fire.

"I won't be gone long sweetheart." I pick her up easily and settle her little ass in my lap. She nestles her head into my chest and starts playing with the bit of hair that starts above my belly button and trails to other things I'd rather she plays with. I shut down those thoughts and concentrate on my mate. I need to distract her and get her preoccupied with something before I go. "Have you decided what you want to do?" She surprises me when her little head nods into my chest. She lifts her chin and meets my eyes for the first time since I came into the room.

"I want to start a charity with Lizie. For abused children."

"Humans?"

"Yes, of course."  Of course.  I resist the urge to tell her no.  I can give this to her.  It’ll be a fucking pain in the ass and she’ll fight me with all the restrictions I’ll have to put on her, but if she really wants it, I’ll bend over backwards to give it to her.

"It will have to be done under a false name. You won't be able to make appearances or be seen at all." 

She huffs and shuffles in my lap, before going back to picking at nothing on the blanket. "But I'll be able to see what they do right? And set up events and monitor how they help the kids?"

"You can do it the same way I run the banks. Have cameras everywhere. Hire a dedicated go-between who acts on your behalf and relays everything. You can be involved as little or as much as you'd like. I prefer being a silent partner. If you'd rather be more involved, then you can. You have to set up a business plan and a budget while we're gone. When I get back I'll set up a meeting with my consultant to get a timeline established.   He’ll prepare everything you need to get started." It'll be easy enough and if it makes her happy than I'm happy to give her whatever it’ll cost.

Her cheeks rise and push against my chest as she smiles. She tilts her head to run her nose across my chest with her eyes closed. She's so damn beautiful when she's happy. I wish I could make her this happy all the time.

"I thought of something for you to do while I'm away."

She sighs sleepily and stretches, apparently ready to start the day now that she's got a plan for her charity. "What's that Alpha?" My dick twitches at her use of the word Alpha.

I groan and lean my head back. "Say it again." 

She smirks knowingly, "What's that?"

"Don't toy with me Ariana." I scold her smart ass.  I’m even more determined to hear it on her lips as I realize it’s the first time she’s called me Alpha.

She rises on her knees and straddles my thighs, bringing her eye level with my mouth. She lifts that defiant little chin up and I swear to God if she picks a fight, I'm going to flip her ass over and fuck her into the mattress. She lets her voice come out soft and seductive, "me?"  Her hand trails over my shoulders, sending a shiver through my body. I resist the urge to shudder as her nails gently run down my back. She keeps my gaze as she bites her lower lip before saying, "I would never toy with you." She parts her lips and I can practically feel the word begging to come out of her mouth. I wait with bated breath as she whispers the word, "Alpha."

My fists grip that lush ass of hers and I pull her lips to mine. I moan into her mouth, ready to push her down and rut into her. I've been taking it easy on her since the claiming, but she's healing nicely and isn't too sore. Besides, she'll have a few days to recover while I'm gone and I want her to feel me every time she moves. I smile against her lips and flip her ass over on the bed. She gasps as she lands on her hands and I steady her hips until her knees find purchase on the bed.

I run my fingers through her heat. She’s slick with her arousal. I groan in satisfaction and my wolf claws at me to fuck her. As I prod her with my fingers to test her readiness to take me, she pulls away, catching me off guard. I glance at her; she's not red or swollen. My forehead pinches in confusion. I tick my jaw at my eagerness to be inside my mate. I must've missed something. My dick protests my hesitation.  I put both of my hands back on her hips, "Sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"I don't know." I still behind my mate. I just want to fuck her, but I hold back, knowing she wants to talk. 
Damn it all.

What the hell is the problem now? She rolls onto her back; I resist the need to keep her where I want her and just pound into her tight pussy. I keep my expression straight as she looks up at while on her back. My hands instantly go to the curve of her waist as my eyes travel to her breasts.

"What don't you know sweetheart?" I watch the goosebumps grow on her skin as I gently trail my fingers down her sensitive skin. She squirms under my touch.

"I don't know if I'm ready."

"Wait as long as you want to my love. There's no rush."

"For a baby." I still at her confession. This is the one fight I’ve lost between us. 

"So you may be ready. No more of this birth control shit?" 

"I don't know." She picks at the blanket again and the loss of her eyes on me makes me want to rip the damn thing off the bed and throw it on the floor. "Did you know Lizie's pregnant?"

I snort at her, "it's way too early to tell."  I lick my lips and bend down to take her nipple in my mouth.  I pull away and let it pop as I release it.  Ariana slaps my arm as I admire the bright pink mark on her breast. 

"Dom and Caleb are convinced."  A low growl vibrates up my chest and out of my throat.  I’m happy for them, if she really is pregnant, but I don’t really give a shit about that right now.  I’m far more concerned with the fact that my own mate is taking active steps to avoid getting pregnant.  And she’s currently avoiding getting fucked.  Another growl leaves me.

"I'm sure they both think the baby is theirs too." I shake my head at their arrogance. "They can't know yet. It's much too early to scent it."

Ariana's face falls, "Oh. If she's not, she's going to be really upset."

"Don't worry about her sweetheart, her heat will come again and Dom and Caleb will be fighting each other to be inside her." The more I think about it the more I’m worried about her delivering pups. I don't think either of them will be truly content if they don't father the first pup. I keep my mouth shut though, Ariana tends to worry and micromanage, and that sure as shit isn't something she should be concerning herself with.

"She's so ready to be a mother. We've never talked about it, but she's sure she's ready." Her head falls to the side and she sighs while her eyes meet my gaze, "how can you know for sure that you're ready."

I don’t understand her question, either because I’ve always known I’d have pups or because all the blood in my body is currently pounding in my throbbing dick.  "What do you need to be ready for a child?"  If she’ll just tell me, I’ll fucking give it to her.

"To feel ready. Once we have a baby, we can't go back and we've just met each other." I don't like the way she's talking.

"What the fuck does just meeting each other have to do with anything?"  A hint of my anger come out in my words and Ariana narrows her eyes at me.  After a moment she sighs and decides not to fight, but I’m not letting that comment slide.

"Well, we haven't had time with just the two of us. If I start popping out babies, then we really won't get any time for just the two of us."
Thank fuck.
She really saved her ass there.

"We'll have plenty of time while you're pregnant and once the pups come; we'll hire help if you'd like time alone."  That’s an easy fix. 

"I just don't
know
that I'm ready."  I resist the urge to sigh in exasperation.  She’s fucking killing me here.

"It’ll drive me crazy every heat, to know you're actively working against getting pregnant. Everything in me wants to breed you." My wolf howls in agreement. "Do you think you'll ever know that you're ready?" I pinch her chin between my forefinger and thumb, "what are you afraid of?" Her hazel eyes widen at my question and she whips her head out of my grasp in anger.

"I'm not afraid! I just don't know." I don't know why she’s so damn angry. We already covered this. I fucking caved already. I gave her what she wanted, but she's still fucking fighting with me. I can't fucking win!

"You told me that you weren't ready so we're waiting. Why are you yelling at me?"

"I'm not yelling!" She practically screams the words and I just stare back at her unreasonable ass.

After a moment, a heavy sigh leaves me and I climb off the bed. My hard dick protests the movement, bobbing up and down with every movement. I rake my fingers through my hair.

"Where are you going?" I grab her angry ass by the ankles and drag her to the edge of the bed.

"No where sweetheart." I flip her over and prop her ass up for me.

"Devin!" She scolds me, but the second I slip two of my fingers into her greedy pussy, she melts against my touch. Her back arches and she rests her head on the bed as I curved my fingers and rub her sweet spot. I push my thumb against her clit without any mercy.

"You've gotta cum sweetheart. You're too wound up." She moans something incoherent into the bed and I smirk at the sight of my gorgeous mate, letting her arousal get the best of her. She's not in heat anymore. This is just her, loving my touch and letting it soothe her. I kiss the small of her back as her skin heats and she starts to pull away from the sensation. I feel her pussy pulse on my fingers as her honey drips down my hand. I pick up my pace and fuck her ruthlessly with my fingers. I lean my chest against her back and lick my mark before growling my command, "give it to me," in her ear, letting the heat of my breath tickle her neck and she obeys like the perfect fucking mate she is and cums on my fingers.  “Good girl.”

Her body is still shaking with aftershocks as I shove my dick in to the hilt.
Fuck.
  Her pulsing heat feels so damn good, trying to milk my cock. Her pussy knows exactly what she wants, at least I can satisfy part of her. I rock into her slowly at first, just enjoying the feel of her warmth. But my dick needs more to get off and I know my mate likes it rough. I pull her closer to the edge and start pistoning into her without any warning. She screams into the mattress as her little hands fist the blanket and her hips buck against mine. Her little body thrashes against my hold, but I don't let up. Instead I reach around her hips and start circling her throbbing clit.

"Fuck!" She lifts her head to scream and I know everyone in this damn estate is going to hear my mate cum. And I fucking love it. Let them hear how I please her. How she submits to me. I slam into her wanting more of her loud moans. My hips clash against hers as I pound into her tight sheath. My dick hits the back of her cervix and I fucking love the feel of it on the head of my cock. She moans out my name as I push myself inside her deeper and hold it there. She claws to get away from the pain of me stretching her and pushing her to her limit, but I know she fucking loves it. "I want a baby." She barely says the words through her panted breath.

Fuck! Now that her heats gone, NOW she wants a baby. I slam into her, punishing that sweet pussy. I’ll fill her with my cum and do my damndest to knock her up.

"You want my cum? Your greedy pussy wants my cum doesn't it?"  I smack her ass and watch the red mark form on her flesh.  I smack it again and again until she finally answers.

"Yes!" She moans out as another flood of arousal drenches her pussy. I fist her ass and push her down to take the punishing fuck. I slam into her over and over again, even as I feel her pulse around my dick and coat it with her cream, I don't stop. I push deep into her as she thrashes on the bed beneath me, the sight and feel of her has my balls drawing up and a cold sweat breaks out over my skin. It takes four long deep strokes to have her screaming in ecstasy. Her pussy tries to milk my cock and I feel the opening of her cervix give, it's enough to set me off. I jet waves of cum into her, cumming hard as my legs shake, feeling it coat my dick and leak out of her, wetting the bed sheets. I stay deep inside her even as I stop pulsing. I pick her ass up and leave her like that.

"Don't move." I slip out of her only to get a cloth from the bathroom. My dick is spent, but when I come back to the room it springs to life at the sight of my mate. Head down and ass up. Her hazel eyes watch me as I cross the room. I smirk at my feisty mate, all subdued from her orgasm. "I like you much better when you're sated."
