Beauty and the Wolf (11 page)

Sophie reached up and ran her hands through his hair. The long locks fell forward giving him an almost boyish look.

“Are you about to confess you have a wife and three kids tucked away
somewhere
in
Europe
?”

Jake gave a short bark of laughter. “No.”

“But?”

He rolled off her to sit on the edge of the bed.
Dare he tell her now, before he made love with her? He didn’t want to, afraid she would run, but his conscience was eating away at him. Before he marked her, and he knew he would mark her if he ever got his dick inside her sweet pussy, she deserved to know exactly what he was.

Sophie
scooted
to the top of the bed and grabbed the corner of the comforter. She threw the cover over he
r
naked body. Oh hell. She might have known it was too good to be true. What was he about to confess to her? He was a cross dresser,
a closet gamer? Surely if he had any really disgusting habits, Mary Ann would have known? More than likely he had just come to his sense and decided he didn’t want to have sex with an above average sized woman.

“It’s okay,” she sighed. “I understand if you’ve changed your mind.”

He turned to glare at her. “I have not changed my damn mind, woman. I’m trying to tell you something here.”

“Well tell me already,” she snapped. “I need to get some sleep.”

“I’m going to have to do something about that smart mouth of yours.”

“Try it.” She bared her teeth at him, once again reminding him of a female wolf. Suddenly he knew it was going to be alright. She wasn’t going to allow him to get away with shit. Yes, she might subm
it to him, sexually,
but only when she chose to do so.

He turned on the bed seeing her huddled beneath the cover. He’d
have to break her of her need
to hid
e
her beautiful body from him. He could think of several ways of accomplishing that, way
s that would leave them both exhausted
and spent.

“I’m a wolf, Sophie.”

She blinked. “Come again?”

“Not possible, since I’ve not had that opportunity yet.”

She contin
ued to look at him.

“Bad joke, I know.”

He crawled toward her, flicking the cover off before pull
ing
her down flat on the b
ed. “I’m a wolf. I’m very, very old. My
pack has been in
Roanoke
since before the first settlers landed.”

“A werewolf?”
He was surprised at the lack of shock in her voice.

“That’s what
Hollywood
calls us. We’re mo
re magic than myth. My people were
gifted with the ability take human form many
millennium
ago.”

Seeing the questions swirling in her eyes he sighed. There would be no sex until she had her answers. He wrapped his arms around her, turning them on their sides facing each other.

“I don’t understand.”

“All you need to understand is that I want you Sophie. I want to mark you as mine.
Do you trust me?”

Sophie lay stunned. She didn’t know whether to laugh at the joke the universe was playin
g on her or scream for Mary Ann to come rescue her.

“You’re a wolf?” How could this living, breathing most
gorgeous
specimen
of
a man be a wolf? “I don’t believe you.”

“You do. What did you see when you came into my office? What did you see just now?”

“Your eyes glowed.”

“Yes, and if you had looked closer you would have seen my claws were extended. It took all I had to control my animal when I licked you. He
loved the taste of you and
wanted to claim you.”

His hands wonder
ed
over her body, stroking her
from
hip and thigh, running up her back to cup her neck then start all over again. She shivered,
barely
resisting the urge to press her body against him. How she loved to be touched.

Feeling
her shiver, Jake decided to cut through all the crap and claim her.
After
he marked her he’d answer all her questions.

He thrust against her letting her feel his engorged dick. If he didn’t get inside her soon, he swore to God his balls were going to fall off. He moved her leg, placing if over his hip. The move opened her to him. Like a magnet his cock found
the warm slickness. He groaned
and
start
ed
to thrust
.

“Let me see your wolf.”

Jake shook his head. “Not tonight, sweetheart.”

“But I want to see,” she protested.

Jake tightened
his hand on her thigh. The
first time he had her naked be
neath him, captive to his whims,
the woman wanted him to let lose his beast? No
t bloody likely. “I’m hanging on by a thread here. I need to fuck you.
”

“So?”

A black eyebrow arched. “Is there something you want to tell me, Sophie?”

It took a moment for her to understand. Her face turned that delightful
shade of
red and he grin
ned
.

“No! I don’t
, I wouldn’t.” She trailed off then looked
at him with a serious expression. “Do you, you know have to in order to, uh.”

Jake threw
back his head and laughed. He’d
know
n
being with Sophie would be the greatest experience
of his life, but he hadn’t realized
he’d feel like this. Light-hearted, free almost. In the past
,
sex had been sex.
No nec
essarily wham bam thank you
ma

am
,
after all he was a wolf of some reput
e
when it came to the ladies, but he didn’t indulge in the wooing or courting of a woman like some of his pack mates.
No, when he decided he wanted a woman, he approached her, propositioned her, and then fucked her. He couldn’t remember when he’d last been turned down.

He looked own at the face of his mate and thanked the powers that be that she was his. “No, darling, I don’t have to be in wolf form to make love with you.”

“Oh,” her mouth made a motion as if
pouting
.

He kissed
her throat
. “But if you want to try it, I’m game.”

“Jake!”

S
he pushed
at his shoulders, as if to move
him away.
Not go
nna
happen, he thought as he took one large nipple in his mouth.  Her hands relaxed, massaging his traps.

“Oh,” she said again when he took the other breast in his hand and squeezed. This time it was a much different sounding word.

“I need to love you, Sophie.”

And love her he did.

Rolling them over until he rose above her, he nudged her legs completely apart. Her mound was soft and padded, covered in lush hair
. He was glad she didn’t shave
or cr
eam or
wax or whatever the hell women used these days to take away the soft covering of their treasures. Sappy sounding, but true. A woman’s body was a gift to man. And no one knew that better than a wolf. They knew the continuance of their race rested in the fertile depths of a woman’s body, in the graciousness of their love.

They also knew how damn good it felt to sink in
to
said depths.

His hand trembled as he took his cock in his hand and rubbed the head along her cunt. The juices he’d had a hand, or tongue, in creating, coated him. He hoped like hell he’d made her wet and pliable enough to take him.

He looked up her body at
the roundness of her thighs, the depth of hips. Her belly, one of his favorite parts of her body, formed
a
swell of flesh. He imagined the day when it swelled even more as she protec
ted and nurtured
their children
growing
with
in
the depths of her body.

Cum threatened to pump from his body, eager to start that
process.

Her breasts were too large to flatten against her chest, instead they rolled to the sides. He reached up and cupped them together, squeezing and massaging. Her nipples stood at attention. He bent down to taste them. He’d never get tired of tasting them.

Placing his arm under her shoulder, he brought them to his mouth. His other hand slid across her slit, rubbing her flesh.
“Do you want me, Sophie?” he murmured. “Do you want me to fuck you?”

Sophie whimpered and arched against his

“That’s a good girl,” he encouraged. “I need you wet, Sophie. Real wet.”

His palm cupped her mound and pushed one finger inside her. He continued to suck and lick her breasts, delighted when her areoles crinkled. Slowly he pushed in another finger. “You are so damn tight. You’re gonna make me come just putting my head inside.”

He pushed his fingers in and out, kissing her neck, her breast, whispering the raw sexy things he was going to do with her and to her. He felt her resistance slipping away. She was still tense, but now with excitement, not trepidation that he might find her wanting or defective in some way. He was going to show her in a hundred and one, no a million
and one
, different ways how much he loved her body. How much he loved her.

He now had three fingers inside her, the walls of her cunt stretched. “How long as it been, baby? How long has it been since you felt a cock deep inside you?”

His wolf snarled. He didn’t want to know how many men had loved Sophie before, but that’s were the man outsmarted the animal. Jake k
new that no matter how many there had been before him,
and he knew just by feeling of her, it hadn’t been many, that
his cock
was
going to be last one she ever had. That gave him the security he needed to make this as perfect as he could. That’s not to say he wasn
’t about to fuck her brains out so she forgot about those other losers entirely.

He took his hand and guided himself to her warmt
h. Pushing, he drove
steadily inside. First his head. Oh, the feel of th
e tip sinking into the wetness – there was no
other sensation like it. Then his length. Inch by inch she took him. There would be no slow going now. Again, the animal wanted to domi
nate and Jake had no
problem with that.

“Jake.”

He stopped and grinned down at her. He knew his eyes were glowing and his canines had extended but he didn’t care and he didn’t hid
e
. She needed to see this. She needed to know the wolf as well as the man.

“You’re not afraid, Sophie. You’re excited. You’re hot and wet and delicious.”

He snapped his teeth and she jerked, causing him to sink further into her softness. “That’s it baby, take me.”

He was almost all the way inside when he felt the resistance, the natural hesitancy of her body to take even more. He reached up and pushed a pillow beneath her hips. He
anchored
a hand on her inner thigh, pushing her legs further apart. Seated more securely, his thumb found her clit.

“Relax, Sophie. You can take me. I’m yours. Your body was made for me
.”
He didn’t move even though his cock was twitching and his wolf howling to thrust deep and hard.
To claim. To mate.

His claws started to extend, but he controlled himself. He rubbed her clit
. He
n
eeded to make her come
. Then she could take him. Then he could fuck her.

He
leaned down and bit her nipple. “Let me love you
,
Sophie.”

Sophie’s world was focused on the man above her. The heavy weight of his body, the primitive smell of his skin. She wanted to sob into his shoulder. He felt so good inside her even though he stretched her to the point of pain. Just when she thought she would have to tell him to stop, he
’d
rearranged her hips easing the pressure. He slid in an inch or two more. Dear God, how big was he? Not only was his cock an impressive length, it was thick. Sophie had never felt anything so damn good.

She whimpered. He touched her
,
saying something about her coming. Yeah, that’s what she wanted to do. She wanted to come.

And she did. The world exploded around her, he
r
pussy clenched the hardness inside it, regenerating the waves of pleasure. But wait, what was he doing? He was leaving. No, no, no she begged. Not yet, she just needed
him inside her a little bit longer
.
