Wolf's Desire (14 page)

Blake nodded. “Of course, he is.”

“Anything else noteworthy?”

“Nothing that we already know, other than the fact that Jonathan El
lis has joined forces with Tristan. Who knows how long Tristan has been looking for the relics?”

“When he didn’t find it a year ago at the Ellis mansion, I wonder what made him circle back around,” Aiden asked.

Blake shrugged. “Could have been Jonathan. I think he knows more than meets the eye. The location of the relics would have been held a secret and closely guarded within their tightknit
Other
community. There would have been procedures in place to ensure the secret never got out.”

Aiden nodded. “And what better place to hide it with such a low profile
Other
such as Jamison Ellis. He was rich from what I hear and had taken over most of Ellis Imports, but kept to himself from what I understand.”

“It seems Jamison had a change of heart, at least where his loyalty rested. Jonathan, on the other hand…there is no doubt that he’s taken up with Arnou.”

“Unfortunately, I think you’re right.”

“The estate was
guarded heavily. There were two Elite members combing the area. They caught wind of my scent more than once, so I had to leave. There is no way we would be able to search there again without forcing our way in.”

Blake was right. They had what they needed for now.
“I got word that Devin arrived in the village last night. We need to head out. I don’t think we will find anything else of value there anyway.”

Devin Caedmon and his Second-in-Command had been on a business trip when Aiden shared the news
with them about his findings. The relics were safe and sound in a chest in the bedroom, as Devin had sent strict orders not to let it out of sight. The Council members were to meet in the Caedmon village tomorrow evening to formulate a plan.

“Tomorrow morning, then?”

“Yeah, first thing in the morning.”

Aiden lifted his noise to the breeze as soon as he registered the scent of peaches. At that moment, Keira opened the door and
walked outside onto the back porch. His heart jumped in his chest at the sight of her and the same excitement shot straight down to his dick. To make matters worse, she wasn’t wearing the jeans and oversized tee he thought she would wear. She was wearing another one of those curve-hugging, erection-inducing, frilly dresses of hers.

She
was a natural beauty, and there were no words to express how much he loved to stare at her. Her flawless features and the cinnamon hue of her skin had him completely mesmerized.

“Don’t end the conversation on my accord,” she said, quietly. “I smelled the food and got hungry.”

Keira walked straight into his arms and pressed her cheek to his chest. She was soft and warm against him, and he couldn’t help but to return her caress.

“I’ll go grab some plates.”
Blake got up and went back inside the house.

Unable to resist any longer, Aiden kiss her deep and long. Her fingers brushed delicately against the nape of his neck as he tasted her mouth.

“Why are you wearing this dress?” It was strapless this time, and the tops of her breasts looked plump and delectable.

“It’s hot out here, Aiden. The dress is more
suited to the summer weather.”

Her lips parted and she stood on her tip toe and kissed him again
.

“Um-hmm. Right. How come I get the feeling that you deliberately
wore the dress to tease me?”

She smiled. “Maybe you’re right.”

He cupped her ripe ass, kneading her globes. “You don’t give up, do you?”

“I know what I want.”

The head of his dick throbbed painfully against her belly as she rocked up against him gliding her soft lips over his. He gripped her hips and moved them in rhythm with his. Kissing wasn’t enough. He wanted to devour her again. Fuck her. Bring her to orgasm. Make her scream his name. Above all, he wanted to mark her as his.

A door slammed, Blake cleared his throat, and they eased apart.

“I already know I won’t be anywhere near your bedroom tonight either,” Blake grumbled, and put the plates and eating utensils down on the table.

“This is our last night here, Keira,” Aiden told her as she joined him at the grill. “We’ll have dinner, and move out in the morning. Tomorrow you will meet my Pack.”

“I’ve been looking forward to it.”

***

Just as Keira folded the last of her clothing in the suitcase, Aiden walked into the room and shut the door behind him. Most of the evening had been spent on the back porch as both men attempted to teach her how to play poker. Of course, due to their nature and powers, they read her like a book and she always ended up losing. It was a good thing they hadn’t been playing for money.

Before she had her shower, she’d managed to get a hold of her parents using Aiden’s cell phone. They were both worried about her. Reality had probably set in. Their only daughter could have been dead. She desperately wanted to find a place back into her parent’s life. She missed them so much, and now she wondered how they’d grown apart. Why was it so hard for them to come to grips staying with Jamison had been her choice and not an effort to alienate them from her life?

Aiden came to kiss her briefly on the face, and then he took a seat on the wooden chair by the window. He took of his shoes and set them aside.

“What’s wrong?”

He peeled out of his shirt and tossed it over the back of the chair. “I just have this weird feeling, and I hope I’m not leading you down the wrong path.”

She joined him at the window. “What could be so wrong about this path? You saved my life, and there is no one else in this world who can help me. There is absolutely no one else that makes me feel the way you do. You said it yourself. Nothing will ever live up to the expectations or take the place of a mate.”

“Yes, you’re right. Come here.” He held out his arms and she walked right into them. “What is that you want the most?”

She straddled his lap
and pressed the pads of her fingers to the grooves in his abs. “I want you. I want to complete this bond you talked about.”

“Before me…what did you want?”

“I was living in fear before you. But before Jamison died I’d finally learned just enough to make long term goals and commitments that I hoped to keep. I had my business plan ready. My initial design book was complete. The funding needed to start production was set. I would be more than just the town seamstress…or at least that’s what I thought. I would finally create something that was entirely my own idea. My plans were cut short. After his death, everything came to a standstill, and I put my future on hold once again.”

“You make these dresses?” he asked, lifting up her skirt to inspect the pattern.

“Yes.”

“You are talented.”

She shook her head. “What good is talent if I can never put it to use?”

“I won’t come between that dream, Keira.” He slid her hair back from his face. “I want you to myself, but not at the expense of you living life the way you see fit.”

“Why can’t I live life and give myself to you?”

He laughed softly, then his smile was replaced with a serious expression. “You’re so young. There are ten years between you and I. You have a lot to learn.”

“Can you teach me?” The age difference didn’t bother her. It was just a number. Friendship mattered more to her. Intimacy was something she craved now that she knew it.

Friendship and intimacy…those were the two things she’d found immediately in Aiden.

“I’m just an old wolf who wants to settle down. You have your future ahead of you.”

It finally dawned on her. He was once again laying out her options before her. Trying to make her chose, so he wouldn’t have to.
“You’re having second thoughts about taking me to your village, aren’t you?”

“Once I introduce you to this life, there is no going back. You’ve already had a glimpse into the dangerous life I lead. My position within the Pack is one where I put my life on the line frequently for the survival of Caedmon.”

“I understand. Obviously, I am no stranger to threats.”

Keira got up and he tried to protest but she left him sitting there anyway. She retrieved the pair of handcuffs
and keys she’d discovered in the drawer of his night stand.

“I found these…” She held up the cuffs with one hand. “…and was wondering what you would be doing with them.”

“I’ve arrested people in the past,” he said.

“Why were they in your dresser by your bed?”

“Because I must have put them there.” He looked at her suspiciously. “Am I in trouble?”

“When I found them, I had the impression that may be you use them in the bedroom.” Keira swallowed, a little embarrassed at her admission.

Aiden grinned, but he really looked like he wanted to bust out laughing. “Use them? How?”

“You know…” She shrugged. “On your women.”

He arched an eyebrow. “You think I’ve used those cuffs on a woman?”

She nodded.

“It’s not a toy.”

“I know it’s not.” Keira fidgeted with the metal chain. “I read a scene in one of my romance novels and…well never mind.” Now she was really burning up in shame. How could she have told him that?

“I see.” He licked his lips. “You already know this, but I fuck with three things. My fingers. My dick. And my tongue. Not necessarily in that order.”

Warm juices began to pool between her legs. He slid her skirt up her thighs and pressed his mouth to her thighs.

“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m possessive,” he whispered. “Toys aren’t invited.”

She gasped when his tongue slid along the edges of her panties. He kissed her pussy through the fabric.

“Are you trying to seduce me, Keira?”

“Yes.” She flipped the metal link open, and handcuffed his wrist to the back of the chair. “But this time, I’ll do the teasing.”

His eyes widened in surprise, and he shook at the cuffs. He grinned. “You’re kidding, right?”

Keira bit her bottom lip and shook her head. “Huh-unh.” She pulled down the straps of her dress and let the garment fall to the floor.

“Shit.”
His gaze swept over her body and his eyes swirled with lust.

Seeing that his erection strained against the fly of his pants, she took off his pants
and briefs and tossed them aside. When she knelt on the floor between his legs and brought her fingers to wrap around him, he bucked in the chair.

“Keira?
”

“I w
ant to please you with my mouth the same way you did me.” She squeezed his wide shaft and he twitched against her palm.

Aiden lifted his
free hand to caress the side of her face. “You don’t have to do that.”

“I want to. Relax and let me learn how to please you.”

“I…Gods—”

Keira swiped her tongue against the head of his dick. The first taste of him was a
n addicting concoction of sweet, salty, and spicy. She applied more pressure to the cotton soft tip and pushed her mouth down over him. He seemed to grow larger even still.

“Did you learn this from your romance books?”

She’d longed for years to do this to a man. Reading about the act in her novels only fueled her curiosity. When she nodded, he groaned, so she slid down further and sucked him like a lollipop. She suctioned him until he was deep within her mouth. He filled her so much that she could barely breathe. She released him, then started down at the base sliding her tongue all the way up to tip once more. He trembled a bit and pre-cum leaked out. She licked the drops and glanced up at him from under her lashes, hoping he was pleased with her.

His forehead was creased in intensity as he examined her from beneath his own lashes.
“You’re going to make me come.” His teeth were clenched.

That was the point
, she wanted to say, but she had a mouthful.

She sheathed him again, completely covering him with her mouth, then alternated betwe
en pumping him between her fist and sucking him. He thrust his hips upward and grabbed the end of the chair tightly with his free hand.

“
I can’t hold.”

Keira gripped the base of his shaft as she teased the crown.
She pumped faster, and applied more pressure. He grabbed the back of her head, pressing his fingers into her scalp. Moving in unison with her, he moaned loudly.

H
e stiffened, and she felt his sac tighten against her fists. His hips jerked forward, and hot semen shot out at the same time his dick hit the back of her throat. She gagged as he fucked her mouth, emptying himself inside her. She swallowed every last drop, sucking him until there was nothing left.

When he w
as done, he pulled himself out.

“I
’m going to love making you do that,” she said.
