Choices (10 page)

Unable to articulate his need, Hale growled, a warning for his brother to back off. The second Alder moved from her breast, Hale grabbed her by the hips and flipped her over onto her knees. Grabbing his cock, he wasted no time in finding her entrance and pushing into her with a hard thrust.

He thought she made a sound, but he couldn’t hear her over his own deep groan. She was a perfect fit. Every angle and contour of her tight passage seemed as though it were shaped to stimulate his cock in all the right ways.

As Hale drove into her over and over, he was vaguely aware of her pleasuring his brother, stroking his cock with her small hand. He felt jealousy surge again and he thrust harder, wanting her full attention.

The gesture backfired and within seconds Hale felt his sac tighten. His back straightened as he gave one last thrust, heat surging up from within him and pouring into his female, his mate.

Hale fell onto the furs, still gripping her hips as the aftershocks rippled through him. The euphoria of climax helped to dull the insidious jealousy that had taken root in him and he watched Taylor take his brother into her mouth.

With his head back and his eyes clenched shut, Alder seemed to be enthralled by her oral ministrations. Taylor, however, seemed nervous and unsure of herself. She kept looking up to Alder for validation, though he was blissfully unaware.

Amused with her struggle, Hale reached out to stroke her hair. She didn’t look his way, no doubt because she was embarrassed, but she did grow more confident in what she was doing.

Alder gave her no warning before he came and the look on her face was priceless. Hale had to turn away from her stricken face and was unable to stifle his laughter.

They laid together this time, with Taylor wedged between their bodies. Hale refused to let himself slip from inside of her, even after he softened. He knew that in a few moments he would be ready again and he’d be damned if Alder was going to have her.

The more he thought about it though, maybe if he let Alder have her next, she would take Hale’s cock into her mouth. He pulled out of her, the thought of having her lips around him too tantalizing to pass up.

To Hale’s disappointment, her eyes were closed. If she was going to provide for the needs of two alpha males, she really needed to have more stamina, he thought with exasperation.

“Taylor.”

Her eyes fluttered open, but she didn’t turn his way. “Hale?”

“Don’t sleep.”

Now, his brother cast him a look of annoyance. Had Alder planned on allowing her to rest?

“I’m just resting my eyes,” she told him, snuggling her head into Alder’s chest.

Hale knew that trick. His sister used to pull that shit all the time.

“Leave her alone,” Alder said, his voice muffled by Taylor’s hair.

Hale rolled over onto his back, his cock sticking straight up. He didn’t even entertain the thought of satisfying himself with another female. There was only one that he wanted.

Hale and his brother laid awake long after Taylor had fallen asleep. There were plenty of things Hale could have and should have been doing, but he was secretly hoping Alder would leave so that he could wake Taylor. He had even planned out the things they would do, starting with him giving her a lesson on how to properly go down on a male.

Then, she had turned and rested her head on his arm. The room was already too warm for Hale’s liking and Taylor, as he was finding out, had the tendency to drool in her sleep.

But all he wanted was to pull her closer, wrap her warm, drooling body up in his arms, and rest his eyes with her.

Clearly, he was losing his mind.

Alder spoke, his voice a low whisper. “Her scent is changing.”

Was it? Hale’s nostrils flared as he took in a long drag of her scent. She smelled as enticing as ever, but he couldn’t perceive any difference. He arched a brow at his brother.

“You’ll notice it once you’re away from her for a few hours,” Alder said. “It’s still faint.”

With the hand that hadn’t been commandeered, Hale scratched his chin. It would explain why he was suddenly feeling so possessive of her. It would also explain the countless other abnormal feelings that seemed to surface when he was in her presence. Yes, he decided. It made perfect sense.

Alder continued, “I’m going to make arrangements for us to leave the area and go somewhere more private. You should organize an extra hunt for tomorrow. The pack is going to need enough meat to last at least five days. I don’t want them going far from the den while we’re gone.”

Hale murmured his acknowledgement, his thoughts already on the days that were to follow. He had never experienced a mating thrall, nor had he ever intended on doing so. It was said to be both the pinnacle of sexual satisfaction and sexual frustration. A fevered lust that pervaded for days on end.

Hale had been looking forward to the thrall. A few days of animalistic fucking and then all of this nonsense would be over. His instinctual need to mate with her would vanish the moment her scent changed again, signaling that she was carrying a pup. His brother’s pup, one which he would have no responsibility for.

And no claim on.

As his brother continued talking, Hale stared past him, his eyes becoming distant as he looked into a stark vision of his own future. Alder, sitting by the fireplace with Taylor on a cool spring evening. She was nursing an infant pup at her breast, a pup with a thatch of blond hair and Hale’s dimpled chin. He could see himself, watching the three of them through the window, the careless agreement he’d made to Alder playing on a loop in his mind.

‘You can have all the affection shit, any pups she has. All I want is her body.’

Hale’s throat became dry. He swallowed hard, reminding himself that his mind was being affected by her scent. Hormones, his sister had called them. Hormones were making him believe that he wanted a mate and a pup of his own, simply to urge him into fulfilling the evolutionary contract to breed.

He would get through this mating thrall, and when it was over, he would realize how foolish he was being. He would lose all interest in overly warm, drooling humans and the pups that they had.

Everything would be like it was before.

Determined not to be pressured into parenthood, Taylor enlists the one person she knows can help her talk to Alder: his brother.

Hale can’t believe the position Taylor is putting him in. How can he convince Alder not to go through with the mating thrall when his own control is hanging by a thread?
