Wolf Moon (7 page)

Her breasts felt heavy, and her nipples ached for the feel of Jesse’s mouth on them. God, this man had become like a drug to her. One touch, one glancing caress, and she went up in flames. She was in such big trouble.

Suddenly, his hands were on either side of her head, lifting her despite her protests.

“Much as I want to come in your mouth,” he rasped, “and feel my liquid sliding down that beautiful throat, I have to be inside you. Now.”

He slid the shower door open enough to reach the condom he’d left on the counter. A quick movement of his hand and he was sheathed. Pressing her against the wall, his strong arms reached under her and lifted her thighs, opening her wide to him. One flex of his hips and he was seated to the balls, filling every inch of her slick channel.

She gripped his arms tightly, nails digging into his rigid biceps. She wanted it to last, wanted to hold onto it. But finger-fucking his ass had turned her on so, and the night’s activities had given her such an adrenaline high, she began to climax almost at once.

A low, keening sound rolled from her partly-open mouth, her cunt gripping his cock like a suction cup. He held her while her pelvis thrust out at him and spasms shook her. She pulled herself as tightly to him as she could, the heated tissues of her vagina grasping at him, wanting to suck him into her body.

Mine, mine, mine,
pounded through her brain as she rode his erection to completion.

Jesse reached behind her to turn off the water and slowly lowered her legs to the floor. A scattered thought pierced her mental fog.

“You didn’t…I mean….”

“No, darlin’, but don’t you worry. I’m saving it for something special.”

In what seemed like seconds, he had them both dried off and on the bed, arranging her on her hands and knees. He knelt behind her wide-spread legs, his big, warm hands resting on the cheeks of her buttocks, his thumbs pulling apart the lips of her pussy. Already she could feel the trickle of her arousal seeping from her tissues.

Jesse inhaled. “Mmmm. Sweetest scent in the world, darlin’.”

And then his tongue swept the length of her slit, leaving a trail of fire as it moved up and down. With the tip, he scooped the rich cream running from her, his warm breath like a thousand feathers on her tender skin. When he plunged his stiffened tongue inside her, she automatically pushed back at him, clenching her vaginal muscles to lock him in place. He dragged his tongue back out, teasing her as he left her empty once more.

“Jesse, please,” she begged. The one orgasm in the shower had merely whetted her appetite. Now, she need more. Harder. Longer.

His lips brushed the line where buttocks met her thighs as his fingers scooped her juices from her cunt. “Time for your treat now, darlin’. Your turn to feel that hunger.” He licked the cheeks of her ass. “Remember how good this felt the first night, Alexa? You loved the feel of my cock in your ass, didn’t you?”

“Yesss.” The word hissed from her mouth, every nerve leaping to attention and quivering in anticipation.

“Then get ready, darlin’. Here we go.”

He spread her juices around the tightly puckered rosebud of her anus then slid one finger inside, moving it back and forth.

Alexa’s stomach clenched, her pussy clenched, heat suffused her skin, and her breasts felt as if tiny arrows were pricking them. There wasn’t an inch of her body inside and out that wasn’t hot for this invasion.

Slowly, Jesse slid a second finger in next to the first and began to scissor them gently, stretching her. His penetration was easier tonight than it had been that first time. Alexa began to rock against his hand, silently begging for more. Then she felt his fingers slip out and the broad head of his cock pressed against the muscles, pushing, pushing, until pop! And he was inside her.

“Do you know what it felt like to have your finger up my ass?” His voice didn’t even sound as if it belonged to him. “You hit the hot spots, Alexa. I thought my dick would take off on its own.”

His words were pushing her further and further toward the edge. She gritted her teeth to keep from coming at once, struggling to absorb the strange sensations racing through her body.

“And then,” he went on, “I thought, Holy shit! This is what it felt like when I fucked your ass before. I remembered your sweet little body and your oh so tempting little hole. The feeling when it clutched around my cock like a steel glove. This is where I brand you, darlin’. As mine. All mine.”

Jesse snaked one arm around her waist and reached between her legs to pinch her clit. He placed his lips close to her ear.

“I’m gonna give you the ride of your life, darlin’.”

And he did. Even more than the first time. His shaft felt enormous inside the hot tunnel of her ass. His fingers on her clit were like pressure on a faucet as liquid poured from her in a steady stream. She was mindless with the sensation of it, pushing back hard with her hips, riding that roller coaster one click at a time as she strained to reach the top of the rails.

“Ready to come again, aren’t you, darlin’?” His voice at her ear was hoarse and uneven, his body hot and sweat-slicked against her back.

“God, yes.” She could hardly get the words out.

Every fiber of her body was focused on reaching that elusive peak. Jesse’s enormous cock filled her so full she didn’t think there was room for a whisper of air in her body. It was raw and brutal but at the same time intensely personal on a visceral level. He was doing more than taking her flesh—he was claiming her soul.

She had never had sex like this before, so all-consuming. Nothing in her life had prepared her for the primitive nature of this coupling. Yet, as hard as he pushed her, she reached for more and tried to climb even higher. A freight train roared through her, the noise obliterating everything but the thundering of her heart and the convulsive clenching of her muscles over and over again.

She couldn’t breathe, her heart hammering against her ribs so hard she was afraid it would explode.

“All right, then.” His voice was barely distinguishable. “Let’s do it. Let me have every bit of that tasty body I crave like a drug.”

Above her, his muscles tensed, then his hips increased their pace, his testicles slapping at her thighs. One moment, he was driving her forward, the next he was shuddering over her, flooding the condom with his seed, pumping into her again and again.

Her orgasm exploded through her, shaking her from head to toe, every muscle clenching and spasming. Perspiration poured from her as she felt the pulsing of his penis inside the hot, dark tunnel of her rectum.

“Mine!” he hollered, and she didn’t have the strength to disagree.

Or the desire.

He held her as the aftershocks rippled through her, body jerking and convulsing, tight little ass pushing back again and again on his still swollen cock.

How could she ever give up the feelings he aroused in her, the volatile sex that threatened every moment to burn them alive? No man had ever given her this, made her pleasure more important than his own. He owned her now, she was his to do with as he wished and she wasn’t sure she’d ever get enough of him. She’d gone and done it now, for sure.

At last, when she was sure one more spasm would kill her, Jesse collapsed forward on her, pressing her into the mattress, his strong arms holding her tightly to him.

Alexa had no idea how long they lay there, glued together, sweat drying on their skin, lungs gasping for air, and hearts trying valiantly to find a calmer rhythm.

Jesse’s arm moved, and his fingers traced a pattern on her cheek. He tucked the sweat-soaked strands of hair behind her ear and feathered tiny kisses on her shoulder and neck.

“Jesus Christ, Alexa,” he breathed.

“Indeed.”

They were silent again for a long while. Then he moved and rolled them to their feet. “I hope you have an inexhaustible supply of hot water because I think we need another shower.”

He lifted her with arms that shook slightly and headed for the bathroom.

“We have some serious talking to do,” he told her, adjusting the faucets. “Whatever this started out to be, it’s moved way past it. It’s a lot more than play now. I’m a selfish bastard, darlin’, and I’m through trying to be noble. Somehow, we’ll work through what I do and what we are together, because I have a news flash for you. You belong to me now, Alexa Morgan. You’re mine. Remember that.”

Would you still feel that way, Jesse, my love, if you knew the woman you’re holding in your arms is only half-human? What then?

Chapter Six

Alexa had pulled her nightshirt back on, and Jesse had a bath towel knotted low on his hips. She found an open bottle of wine in the fridge and brought it into the bedroom with two glasses. Now, they sat cross-legged on the bed, sharing it.

“I don’t know why I’m not passed out on your floor.” He grinned. “Charlie and I had a hellacious night tonight. Then I show up here and fuck your brains out. Not to mention what’s left of mine.” He raised his glass in a toast to her. “You could breathe life into a mummy, sweet thing. I see you and I don’t know what I want to do first—lick that sweet little slit of yours or suck your tasty nipples. Maybe feel your ass clench itself around my fingers or fill your pretty cunt jam-full with my cock.”

Alexa couldn’t believe she blushed. “Maybe it was all that adrenaline driving you,” she pointed out.

He shook his head. “Possibly a little, but, darlin’, the rest is you.” His eyes raked her over the rim of his glass. “I don’t know what it is, Alexa. The first time I saw you, I wanted your body. That’s all it was. I’ll admit it. You don’t know how many nights I dreamed about stripping you naked and stuffing my cock into you as far as it would go.”

“I…had thoughts about you, too,” she admitted with a shy little smile.

Jesse put his glass carefully on the nightstand. “The sex is phenomenal. Better than I could have imagined.”

“But?” Her stomach knotted. She didn’t think she wanted hear what came next. She wasn’t ready for this yet.

He reached for the hand not holding the wine glass, linking his fingers through hers. “This is about a lot more than sex, sweet thing. A
lot
more. And I don’t think either of us expected it.”

I didn’t. That’s for sure
.

“I tried to talk to you about this the other night, but we got…sidetracked.”

“I like that track,” she grinned.

“Me, too, darlin’, but I can’t have you walk into this unless you really know what’s going on.”

Oh, Jesse, you have no idea how much I know.

“Like I tried to say before, there are reasons why I’ve never looked for any kind of permanent relationship,” he went on. “You know what kind of job I have. I don’t think it’s fair to a woman to ask her to deal with that. All that garbage and anxiety and the constant worry.”

Alexa sipped slowly on her wine. She had to be very careful here not to give anything away. “I know you’re on the gang task force. And I’ve seen and read enough about it to know it’s dangerous and dirty work.”

His face darkened and his eyes shuttered, an automatic response to close out unpleasantness. “See, that’s the thing, Alexa. What I do is so dirty I hate to soil our relationship by even discussing it.”

“Damn it, Jesse.” She tossed back the rest of the wine. “If you’re setting up roadblocks here, I should at least know what they are. I’m a big girl. I won’t run away screaming.” She leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

Jesse picked up one of her hands in his and began to play lightly with the fingers. “This county has been a breeding ground for gangs. It’s a poor county and doesn’t offer the kids a lot.”

“So, they form gangs,” she guessed.

He nodded. “For a long time, it was no more than a lot of pushing and shoving and posturing. We kept it pretty much under control. But the last few months, the action’s been ramped up. There are a couple of idiots who think they need to earn their stripes with all-out warfare, plus they’re looking to expand their territory.”

“That’s how you got beaten up, right? Trying to keep this from happening.”

Jesse nodded. “Charlie and I are assigned to keep the lid on the central part of the county. But that’s where the worst of the trouble is brewing.” He took a deep breath and let it out in a slow stream. “Which is why we’re having this chat. Darlin’, I could come home any night in a body bag. That’s not something I’d like to think of you waiting up for.”

Alexa tightened her grip on his fingers, weighing her words carefully. Everything he said made sense and gave her the opening she needed, so why didn’t she just take it?

Stupid, Alexa. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

“I think part of that choice has to be mine, don’t you agree?”

“Alexa. Darlin’. You saw the condition I came home in the other night. What if I’d been dead, instead?”

“But….”

“Take tonight, for example.”

She listened carefully while he spoke, keeping her eyes focused on her hands in her lap. Not even by a flicker of an eyelash would she give herself away.

“It might have turned out worse,” he told her, “except the strangest thing happened.”

“Oh?” She tensed, knowing what was coming.

“Remember the other night I told you I thought I saw a big dog run through here? Well, she showed up again tonight. And here’s the craziest thing. Charlie thinks it’s a wolf.”

“A wolf?” Her heart almost tripped over itself. She tried to keep her voice to a normal level of surprise. “Around here?”

Jesse nodded. “Yeah. Can you believe it? It was the damndest thing. I guess some of them hang out at that old deserted citrus grove.” He laughed. “This one seems to be adopting me.”

“Adopting you.”

“Uh-huh. You wouldn’t believe what happened if I told you.” He sighed heavily. “You know, I had it all planned out. I’d come in here tonight, give you a big hug, then tell you in a reasonable manner why it isn’t good for you to be seeing me. Tell you everything I just said.”

No, Jesse, not yet. I can’t walk away from you yet.
