Wolf Creek Enforcer (11 page)

Ian picked her up, cradling her against his body
.  She placed both arms around his neck and held on tight.  Striding to the doors, he looked to her to open them. She reached down with one hand and twisted the knob, then put her arm back around his neck.

Ian marched through the opening, kicking the door shut behind him.  He never slowed, going straight to his bedroom
with her still clinging to him. 

Placing her on her feet once again,
he leaned his forehead against hers and stared into her eyes, searching.  “If you don’t want me, you need to say so now.  I’m claiming you tonight.  Once you’re mine, there is no going back,” he stated. 

She
knew nothing would change her mind.  “I want you,” she said simply.

Melanie
rested her hands on his shoulders when he squatted before her to remove her shoes, giggling when he ran his index finger from heel to toe.

Straightening,
Ian reached for the bottom of her t-shirt, slowly pulling it over her head.  Melanie stood docilely while he undressed her, enjoying his hands running over her body.  Reaching up, she tugged his shirt, pulling it up and running her hands over his chest before releasing him.

Stepping back,
she shimmied out of her jeans and let them fall to the floor.  Scooting back to sit against the headboard wearing only her lacy bra and panties, she watched as Ian removed his jeans.  Melanie sucked in her breath when she saw he was not wearing boxers.  Staring at his chest, her eyes moved down over his washboard abs, then down to his crotch.  Wow, nothing to be ashamed of there, she thought. 

“Um, do you always go commando?” she asked.

Ian gave her a devilish grin, no modesty shown whatsoever.  “Makes it easier when I want to shift suddenly.  One less item of clothing to remove.”

He climbed onto the bed, slowly crawling towards her.  Melanie got the feeling she was his prey and he was toying with her. 

Reaching her, he undid the clasp in the center of her chest.  “I like the purple bra and panties,” he said.  “It’s like opening a present.”

“Lavender.” She cleared her t
hroat.  “I’d never be so boring as to just wear purple,” she teased him. 

Ian pushed
the cups aside, pulling the straps down her shoulders.  Melanie lifted up slightly so he could slide it out from under her.  “Beautiful,” he said.

Nibbling his way
down her neck, he slowly circled her areola with his tongue before pulling her breast into his mouth.  Hit bit down lightly, tugging and pressing her nipple between his teeth.

Melanie groaned,
feeling the tingle move from her breast, all the way down to her pussy.  She gripped the sheets, tossing her head in abandon as her nipple popped from his mouth. 

Settling between her thighs, he gave a long lick to her nipple before moving to her mouth
.  He devoured her lips, becoming more aggressive when she grabbed his butt, trying to pull him closer.  Grinding against her, he finally pulled back, breathing heavily.

Melanie was panting heavily, the sensations beyond anything she had ever experienced
before.  His hard chest pressed against her breast as she gripped his forearms and dug her nails in, leaving tiny marks on his skin.

“These have got to go,” he growled
, pulling back from her.  In one quick move, he grabbed her panties and had them down her legs and tossed to the floor. 

With that barrier gone, he mov
ed back up her body.  Pressing against her opening, he paused.  Looking into her eyes, Ian wanted to make sure this was what she wanted.  Her violet eyes gleamed with desire.

“Are you sure?  Once I mark you,
there is no going back.  You will be mine, forever,” he growled.

“And you’ll be mine.  If you don’t make love to me right now, I’ll take over and do it,” she ordered. 

Ian laughed, slowly sliding in.  Then he groaned, she was so tight, so small.  He pushed further and felt his balls press against her butt.  Ian watched her face, afraid he might be hurting her since he was so much bigger.   

Melanie moaned, feeling him all the way to her cervix.  She wiggled
, trying to get him to move.  When he didn’t, she opened her eyes, seeing him staring down at her.

“Am I hurting you?” he gritted out.

“Only if you stop.  God you feel so good,” she moaned.

Ian started thrusting harder, sliding deep then pulling almost all the way out.  He sat back on his knees, pulling her up with him.  Melanie wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him. 

He released her mouth and angled his head down, taking her breast back into his mouth.  Grabbing her hips, he lifted her up and down on his cock.

Removing her arms from his neck, Melanie pressed
her palms flat against the sheets and arched her back, pushing more of her breast into his mouth.

Ian pulle
d back and slid from her body.  “On your knees,” he growled. 

Melanie turned over and pushed
up on her hands and knees.  She looked over her shoulder at him as he lined his cock up with her entrance. 

Grabbing her hips, Ian pushed
back in, his thighs rubbing against hers.  Thrusting in and pulling back, he reached around and pinched her clit before fluttering his fingers back and forth.  He felt her body clenching, her orgasm triggering his. 

Ian leaned over her back, his canines sharpening.  He kept thrusting as he moved her hair aside and sunk his teeth into her shoulder.
  He felt her clench around him as he jerked, his testicles drawn tight against his body. 

Melanie screamed,
another powerful orgasm ripping through her.  She felt his teeth in her shoulder, then his tongue as he licked the wound closed.

Falling to his side, he pulled her down and cradled her back
against his chest, staying inside of her.  “Look,” he said.

Melanie opened her eyes to see thousands of sparkling lights, like fireflies drifting above them. 
They floated around before settling over the two of them, entwining them together, forever.  She felt so close to him, connected in a way she never expected. 

“Their beautiful.  I’d heard rumors, but this is amazing.  I feel you.  I mean, your soul is part of me now,” she said with tears in her eyes.

“Yeah, I feel you too,” he said simply.

Still
hard inside her, Ian pulled her leg back over his hip and started slowly thrusting again. Shifters were notoriously known for their stamina. 

Sliding his hand from her breast, he ran his fingers over her belly before gently rubbing her clit again.

Her muscles clamped down on his cock, tightening and releasing as she came.  Gritting his teeth, he growled and pumped his hips, following quickly behind her. Sliding from her warmth, he groaned at the loss of her heat. 

Melanie
turned to face him, gently grasping his jaw.  “I love you,” she said.

“I know,” Ian
answered.

Melanie sputtered,
pulled her arm back and punched him in the stomach.  It was like hitting a brick wall.

Ian grabbed her hands and pinned them by her head as he rolled on top of her.  Staring down, he waited for her to look at him.  “I love you,” he said
bluntly.

He kissed her then rolled off and tucked her against his side
, spooning her.  “Lets get some sleep.  We’ll talk about the changing ceremony tomorrow.”

Melanie smiled, knowing Ian was the type of man that would show his love and not speak it of
ten.  That was fine with her because wrapped in his arms was just where she wanted to be.

* * *

Waking alone, as usual, Melanie sighed.  They were going to have to work on his habit of leaving the bed without waking her up.

As she lay there, she relived their time together from last night.  She found it hard to believe she was now a married woman.  Well, technically she wasn’t married, but close enough. 
She sighed when she remembered his parents were still in Dallas.  Melanie groaned thinking about ‘meeting the parents thing’.  Hopefully they would like her.  Okay, now she was just being ridiculous and overthinking everything.

Throwing the covers back, Melanie we
nt into the bathroom to shower.  Staring at herself in the mirror, she was thankful she’d had her birth control shot.  She was good for another month but should probably find a doctor in the area.  She didn’t think she was ready to pop out a pup, especially since they had never discussed that topic.

But now she wondered just what he was thin
king.  He hadn’t asked and didn’t use a condom.  She was thinking about waiting a couple of weeks and then telling him she missed her period.  Melanie laughed, considering it.  Wouldn’t that just scare the crap out of him…

Maybe they would discuss it later, but first of all, she was going to have a talk about him leaving her alone this morning.  

After showering, she quickly dressed and dried her hair.  Skipping any makeup, Melanie went straight to the kitchen, figuring Ian would be there already.

Seeing him sitting at the bar, Melanie marched over and poked him in the chest.

“You couldn’t stay and wake up with me this morning?  Really?  Wham-bam, we’re mated so I’ve done my part?” she snarled.   

Ian grabbed her arms and pulled her between his thighs.  Standing, he turned her to the great room.

“Melanie, I’d like for you to meet my parents.  Mack and Elizabeth.  Mom, Dad, this is my mate, Melanie,” Ian said simply.

Eyes wide, Melanie exclaimed, “Oh shit!”  Her hands flew to cover her mouth.  “Oh my God,
why didn’t you stop me?” she cried.

“You are adorable,
” His mom said, walking over to hug her.  “Please, call me Liz.”

Whispering, Liz told her she would have many years to train him right.

Liz calmly held her elbows and stepped back, smiling.  “Trust me when I say Mack has made me do a lot of cussing over the years.  Welcome to the family, we’re so happy Ian has found such a beautiful mate.”

Mack came over to hug his new daughter too.  Laughing, he pulled her
into his arms.  “I think you’re perfect for Ian.  Sometimes he can be an old fuddy duddy,” he whispered.

Melanie
could feel her cheeks burning, “Thank you both.  It’s a pleasure to meet you.”  She turned to Ian, giving him the evil eye while she mouthed, “you could have warned me.”

Raising one eyebrow, Ian smiled and sat back on his barstool. 

“We just stopped by to meet you.  Now we’ll head over to our house and give you two some privacy,” Mack said.

Liz hugged her once again.  “Rafe and Lisa
stopped by to see their friends, Colin and Stephanie, so they won’t be back until later.”

“Thanks for coming
by, we’ll talk later,” Ian said, watching the door close.  

Melanie groaned again, embarrassed.  “I could practically hear
you say, ‘and don’t let the door hit you on the way out’.  How am I ever going to face them again?”

Ian walked over and scooped her up, settling her against him on the sofa.  “What happened to my little Miss, go with the flow girl?”

“Oh shut up.  Well, that does it.  We’ll just have to undue the mating.  I’ll disappear and grow old all alone and you can find someone else.  That way I’ll never have to see them again,” Melanie whined. 

“Okay,” Ian said, grinning.

Melanie huffed, “I hate you, ya know.”

“Yeah, I know,” he said.

Ian stretched out on the sofa, arranging Melanie on top of him.  She laid her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

“Once again, I’m sorry.  I didn’t want to leave you alone this morning, but with Rafe gone, I’m in charge.  I had to check in with the pack to make sure
everything was running smoothly.  With the possibility of a wizard coming after you, I needed to know if my enforcers had run into any problems.”

“I hate it when you’re so reasonable while I was righteously pissed,” Melanie told him.  “And, by the way, I hope that’s the only marking you plan on doing.  If you try to pee on me, I am sooo outta here.” 

Ian’s chest rumbled with laughter as he sat up.  “Don’t worry, you’re safe.  I’m house trained.”

Hearing a vehicle pull up, Ian looked out to see someone dropping David and Devlin off. 

Devlin came through first, immediately sniffing the air and looking towards Melanie.  His face broke out into a huge grin.  “Hey little sister.  I see the deed is done,” he said.

Melanie groaned, “There is absolutely no privacy in this family.  And what do you see?  Is there like a freaking neon sign flashing like a beacon or something?”

Devlin strode quickly over and whirled her around.  “I can smell you.  But if you’d like to take your shirt off and show me the mark, I’m cool with that.”

“Smell me? I’m going to buy some really cheap perfume,” she grumbled when he sat her back down.
