An Alpha's Path (4 page)

She tasted herself on his tongue but didn’t feel embarrassed. Mel didn’t have enough energy to do so. Kade kissed the side of her mouth and then her temple before moving the blankets on top of them. He surrounded her with his body, and she felt his hot and throbbing cock against her hip, and she wondered why he didn’t do anything about it.

“I can’t even think Kade. Oh my God. I think I lost count of orgasms. But what about you?”

He laughed deeply against her and rubbed his hand against her side.

“I have an idea, why don’t we take care of each other at the same time?”

Her gaze widened and she moaned. This man was going to be the death of her. “I have never done that before. Okay.”

This new found sensuality in her must be a gift from Kade. She wasn’t going to stop it yet. If ever.

He sat up on the bed and knelt before her. Mel did the same and unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. Her eyes widened when his cock fell into her hands hard and ready.

“You aren’t wearing any underwear. Bad boy.” She got closer and licked the drop of pre cum at the head.

Kade groaned and forced her on her side. He then twisted her around so her head was at the edge of the bed then laid next to her on her other side.

Mel moaned out loud when he placed his lips directly on her clit. She was already wet and ready for him. He nipped the gentle skin of her inner thigh, then licked up her juices that ran down, escaping her heat.

Mel moaned his name and then placed her lips around his cock. He sucked her clit and worked his tongue in and out of her passage while caressing her ass and gripping her hips. The coarse hair at the base of his cock tickled her lips before she slowly licked her way up his dick to the head. Taking a breath, she put her mouth back on him, swallowed him whole, and rolled her tongue against him. He seemed to like that because he moaned and bit down on her clit in response. In turn, she moaned around his cock in an almost never ending circle of pleasure. She worked him with one had while digging her other hand into the meaty flesh of his ass. Her throat contracted around his cock as she came. Sucked harder, she gripped him firmer and his balls drew tight.

“I’m about to drop a load down that pretty throat Mel. Are you going to be a good girl and swallow it all?” At her nod with his cock still in her mouth he continued, “Damn, swallow my seed and suck harder, Mel.”

When she rubbed her clit against his face, he came in her mouth. She swallowed it all and he screamed her name.

When Kade’s still hard cock slipped from her lips, she moaned.
Oh my. How could she already miss his taste?
He lifted her leg and twisted himself so he lay practically on top of her without resting any of his weight on her.
So considerate, her lover.

****

Kade’s heaven resembled a blond goddess. Her sweet honey taste still flavored his tongue. Mel’s soft, sated body lay beneath him, waiting for more. And oh, how he would deliver.

He spread her legs and positioned his cock against the entrance of her heat. Her eyes widened a bit and he kissed her slowly and longingly. His wolf was practically howling for him to turn her around and mount her. But the man wanted to see her face when he joined her for the first time.

He wouldn’t claim her tonight. Not officially. A bite mark in the curve where her neck met her shoulder began the mating. But he would leave his scent on every square inch of her so no other wolf could come near her without knowing who she belonged to. In turn, her honey vanilla scent already seeped beneath his skin and he never wanted to wash it off. She may not know it yet, but she was doing some claiming of her own. The fact he didn’t share with her what he was left him with guilt, but in time she would know the truth. He just hoped she would take it well.

“Wait, Kade. What about a condom?”

Mel’s wide eyes forced Kade to stop, sweat dripping down his body.

Shit. How did he explain his way out of this one?

“Damn, I don’t have anything with me. I don’t have any diseases, I promise.” His voice deepened with barely contained need.

“Me neither. And I’m on birth control.”

The thought of Mel pregnant with their young almost sent him over the edge. Their future. Their legacy.

Not that it mattered, since he wouldn’t mark her tonight so there would be no pups. Without the mark, they wouldn’t be officially mated and therefore no children.

“Are you ready, Melanie?”

She nodded and he slowly entered her.
Fuck
. A soft velvet heat encased him. Kade thought he was going to die from the pleasure of it and he was only partially the way in. Slowly, he rocked in and out of her pussy before taking the final plunge and sheathed himself the hilt.

Kade waited and didn’t move for a moment while she adjusted to him. This was the first time that he had made love. Yes, he had fucked his share of women throughout his hundred or so years, but this was the first time he was making love with his mate. Bliss.

When she was ready, he slowly pulled out and then leisurely entered her again. She gasped and moaned while he did his best to maintain control. Wanting to take the first time slow, Kade paced himself. Going too fast, too soon might bring out his claws. There would be plenty of time later to go crazy and fuck her brains out. As it was, he had to make sure his eyes didn’t glow when he came. Scaring her away wasn’t an option.

He made love to her, kissed her and loved her. Murmuring her name against her skin sent shivers down the both of them. His wolf came to the surface as he rode her harder, an outcome that could not be avoided. Kade quickly hid his newly formed claws underneath the mound of pillows. The sounds of fabric ripping were muted by the panting and moaning of their frenzied love making. He tweaked her nipples and then her clit and she came quickly against him. He followed right after her, utterly spent. Lowering himself to the bed, he wrapped his arms tightly around her.

“I don’t think I have any more energy.” Her voice was deep and raspy. Sexy as hell.

Kade slowly and methodically rubbed circles on her stomach and hip, her soft skin still glowing with their exertion. “We should rest and then I’m going to take you again. How does that sound?” He smiled against her hair when her body shivered against him, even though he had already pulled up the blankets over them both.

“Mmm. Okay. I think I can do that.” Her words slurred with sleepiness.

He laughed and they both fell asleep.

He woke thirty minutes later and found himself wrapped around Mel’s lush and delicious body. His cock was pressed up against her ass, and he was ready to take her again. Mmm. This was one of the most memorable nights of his life, and he knew that is wasn’t quite over yet. His palm was pressed against her stomach and slid it slowly up to grasp her breast. She gasped and rocked into his hand and against his cock simultaneously.

“Kade.” Her voice was hushed and sounded barely awake but he caressed her breast while rocking against her. He licked and nibbled his way up her neck and chin while pinching her nipples. She gasped in surprise when he tweaked them harder and bit the junction between her neck and shoulder, without leaving the mate marking he so desperately wanted to leave.

She buckled against him as he slid his hand down to her pussy and pressed a calloused finger on her clit. “Melanie. You must be so wet for me. I am going to sink my cock into your pussy to make you scream my name again. Does that sound reasonable to you?”

Mel could only nod in response while she came against his hand and he entered her in one stroke, burying himself to the hilt. She screamed his name once more while still riding the peak.

“That’s exactly what I wanted, Mel. And now when I do this I am going to play with this little puckered hole back here.” He took her juices and spread it on her anus. He slowly played with her and entered just one digit to the knuckle.

“Oh God, Kade! Oh my God! Yes!” At first she tensed at the sudden and unfamiliar intrusion, but then fell back and relaxed so his finger to slide fully in. “Did I hurt you?” He would do his best to never hurt her.

“Oh Kade. Please don’t stop. Please.” She was gasping and her words were choked but not forced. His soon-to-be-mate looked mused with those rosy cheeks of hers like she had been fucked over and over again. His lover was a vixen and she would be his. He kissed her hard fucking her mouth with his tongue when he entered her again fiercely. They continued on until they peaked and came crashing down together in a series of pants and gasps. They lay together for a moment before he extricated himself from her and rose to get a warm wash cloth. He cleaned them both up quickly before getting back into bed and pulling her into his arms.

“Get some sleep and we can talk in the morning.”

He kissed her brow but heard no response as she was already peacefully asleep. He held her in his arms and whispered into her hair, “and soon baby, you are going to be my wife and my mate. No running. Just hope.” He just needed to tell her that. Oh, and the fact that he was a hundred year old werewolf that wanted to bring her unsuspecting into his world. No problem there.

Chapter 5

Melanie opened her eyes to the early morning sun, pleasantly sore and tired. She blinked once and then again, as images from the previous night assaulted her mind. Kade was so unique and new. He touched and pleasured her in ways she didn’t even know could happen outside of the movies. She blushed as a shiver raced down her spine at the thought. His warm, muscular arm draped around her stomach and hips in an almost possessive nature and it made her smile. He was still there. Their lovemaking lasted up through the night and into the early morning, rocking against one another in the throes of ecstasy. During the brief moments between, they spoke of their lives and dreams. Kade was open and honest in most respects. He also seemed to be hiding something from her, but if she were honest with herself, she wasn’t surprised. They were only going to be together for one night. Now that night was over. That was the premise of their blind date – there were no promises, no obligations. Now it was morning and even though she could have basked in his warmth forever, she needed to get up and get out of there before she lost anymore of her heart.

And oh how she’d lost it. Kade’s actions spoke of kindness, yet he could be aggressive when needed. The man was gorgeous and amazing in bed. And he was also going to walk right out the door without her. Taking part of her with him. She took a steadying breath, slipped from his arm and out of bed, and wrapped the sheet around herself. Kade moaned and scooted closer to her edge of the bed as if missing her
. Wishful thinking
. She leaned down over him, and took in beauty of his sculpted features, brushing a lock of his dark brown hair from his forehead.

Gawd.
Leaving him would kill her. Missing him will be worse.

As she continued to look at him, a tear in the fabric in the corner of her eye made her pause. She narrowed her focus and moved one of the pillows.

Were those claw marks? What the hell?

There were long gashes in the sheets and mattress. Her breath quickened and she took a step away.

“Don’t be afraid, Melanie. I can explain.” Kade’s deep voice was gruff with sleep.

“Explain what Kade? What the hell happened to the mattress?” She took another step away from him.

Kade slowly rose from the bed as if trying not to scare her. Too late, she was becoming pretty damned scared.

“It's going to be okay, Mel. I know I should have told you sooner but I can explain everything.” Kade stood to his full height in all his naked glory and said in a calm and collected voice, “I am a werewolf.”

Melanie laughed out loud at his announcement, yet even to her own ears it verged on hysterical.

Seriously? Who does this guy think he is? Why not just announce he’s a senator or something? That would be more believable.

“Werewolves don’t exist.”

Larissa’s words came back to her in full force and Kade’s outrageous statement began to sink in.

Just remember to keep an open mind. He really is quite sweet and won’t bite. Well, only occasionally. And only if you want him to.

Wait. Did Larissa know what Kade was? Why didn’t she tell her? Pain and hurt exploded through her. Why would her best friend do this?
