Chapter 13
Luke tried to reach Jack several times, but all he hit was a wall. Even calling her on the phone had gotten him little to nothing in the way of information. Josh said the message was that she was really busy. Busy for five hours? Her meeting with Sweet should have been over hours ago. Now it was just before midnight and he was going to get her. Grabbing his keys, he was headed out the door when she came in.
Naked.
“I wanted to surprise you.” Luke nodded. “I had a really good day and wanted to celebrate with you.”
The wine bottle was laid on the table, and then she frowned at him. Luke was sure that he’d lost all ability to speak. As he tried for the third time, he reached down and cupped his suddenly aching balls. Her grin told him she’d noticed.
“I have nineteen new clients.” She walked around the room until she was in front of the refrigerator. As soon as she bent over at the waist to look inside the now open door, he grabbed the chair back in front of him. “Would you like something to eat?”
Nodding, he watched her reach further into the deep ice box, and moaned when her nipples hardened. As she stood up and turned to him, he had to work very hard at lifting his eyes to her face. Luke should have known she’d pay him back for the meeting.
“I’m really hungry.” He was too but not for what she might pull from the cabinets she was now searching through. “I was thinking that I’d like to have a sucker. A really big one. What do you think?”
“I need you.” She only giggled but didn’t turn around. “Jack, do you have any idea what you’re doing to me right now? How much I just want to bend you over that counter and fuck you hard?”
“I do.” She turned and put a bowl on the table, along with a box of cereal. “Do you have any idea what it was like to walk into that room filled with men and women that want me to work for them? How I felt when they told me I was going to be their advertising firm no matter what kind of rules I put before them?”
“No.” He tried to reason with his fingers to let go of the chair, but they were not listening. He couldn’t go to her until they loosened their grip. “I only knew about Sweet. The others showed up on their own. Dad said he was going to go. He even told me there might be one or two others if they could make it, but he never said anything about nineteen. Are you going to let me fuck you?”
Nodding, she sat down on the counter. Luke felt his cock, already straining at the zipper, seem to grow larger, and the pull of his pants was painful now. As he watched, her legs opened and he could see her pussy, all of it. And she was soaking wet.
“I’m very needy right now.” He nodded, feeling like a simpleton. “Are you going to break the chair or are you going to come here and fuck me? I seem to remember you saying that you were going to fuck me.”
“I want to eat you. I want to drink deeply of your pussy and lap at that hard clit of yours. I want to hear you scream, feel you flood my mouth. Christ, I need you.” Her legs spread wider and now he could see her clit as it peaked from her soft folds. It seemed to beg to him to bite her. “I want to drink from you so deeply that when I fuck you, I’m going to come almost immediately.”
“I need to come too.” He nodded and finally freed his fingers. As he moved toward her, he pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it to her floor. “Stop moving.”
He did, not sure what she wanted him to do next but whatever it was, he was up for it…so long as he could come, buried deep within her. When she told him to strip down, Luke unbuckled his belt and pulled it free of the loops one at a time as she watched. Her arousal was strong, scenting the air like a field of flowers did after a summer storm.
“My wolf wants his share. Have you any idea how hard he’s moving along me to take a deep bite of you? How much he’d like to lick your pretty pussy?” His wolf snarled at him to hurry up. “Jack, let him taste you before he pulls himself forward before I can control him.”
Leaning back on the counter, he watched her finger slide down her belly to her pussy. Luke swallowed three times before he remembered he had to breathe too. As soon as she slid her finger into her wet pussy, his wolf took him.
His wolf wasn’t going to be nice about tasting her. Luke knew and understood that. He moved up between her thighs, and Luke thought for sure she was going to push him away. Instead she curled her fingers into his fur and pulled him to her. Luke nearly snarled at his wolf to hurry when he lapped at her slowly. Christ, she tasted like she smelled. Paradise.
He licked her several times before she came. Luke wanted to take her then, but his wolf wasn’t finished. As soon as she came again, this time screaming out her release, his wolf licked her thigh and then sank his teeth into her. Her fingers tightened to the point of pain, but his wolf never let her go.
“Please?” The wolf snarled but held her tightly in his jaws. “What’s he doing, Luke? Please tell him to stop. I…it hurts.”
Luke commanded his wolf to stop, but he only jerked his head twice. When she cried out again, this time begging him to stop, his wolf backed off. Licking the large wound closed, he let Luke take him. Luke pulled her into his arms while she sobbed on his shoulder.
“I’m so sorry.” Luke held her while she cried and told her over and over how sorry he was. Looking down at her leg, he could see the scar already forming and closed his eyes when he saw what he’d done. “He’s claimed you as his own. Your human self. I’ve never…look.”
The scar was a perfect outline of his mouth. The bruising was faint now, but he could see where he’d bitten her badly. Luke would bet that if he turned her around, the scar on the other side would be just as perfect as the top mark. He’d only heard of a wolf marking a human like this once before.
“He marked you as his. All the other wolves, wild or were, will know who you belong to and not to touch. Not even Hunter will touch you now, even if I give him permission. He knows to do so would mean his certain death.” She asked him why he’d do something like that. “He loves you. He loves you as much as I do.”
Luke held her until he felt her body calm. When she stirred in his arms, he looked down at her and smiled. “I guess the mood is ruined now. Tell him the next time he wants to bite me like that to wait until I’m sated. Right now I’m about as sexy as…well, I’m not, am I?”
Instead of answering her, he rocked hard into her heat. His cock was burning to be deep inside of her and she was still very wet. When her ankles wrapped around his hips, Luke held his cock as he moved his crown over her wet entrance.
“I want to fill you slowly and fuck you slower.” Her moan had him slide just the tip inside of her. “You’re so wet. Christ, I want to fuck you. But I want to go slowly, fuck you like you’ve teased me.”
He slid his crown in again before leaning down and taking her nipple into his mouth. As he nibbled on her, chewing gently on her hardened tip, he lifted her up by her ass and took her to the table. His cock was deep within her, but as soon as he laid her over the table, he pulled out and stared down at her in all her naked glory. Her moan nearly made him enter her again. Instead he pulled a chair to settle between her thighs.
“I’m going to eat you now. Enjoy every drop of your cream, taste you over and over before I fuck you.” Jack laid back, and her legs, spread out before him, showed him that she was ready for him to do just as he’d said. As he leaned into her, she put her feet onto his thighs and raised her pussy up to his mouth. Luke suckled her clit into his mouth as he slid his fingers deep within her pussy.
He ate her, devoured her. The more he tasted of her, the more he wanted. His cock hurt so badly now that he had to hold himself. He was sure that any moment he was going to come and he really didn’t care. As her legs tightened around his head again, he looked up at her.
If there was anything more beautiful in the world, he would not have believed it. She lay there spent, her body pink from coming so many times, her nipples hard and red from her fingers twisting them, pulling at them as they swayed to and fro from her hard breathing. Standing up, Luke heard the chair crash behind him as she sat up to look at him. He held his cock, fisted it while she looked up at him.
“Fuck me.” He nodded and lifted her legs to his shoulders. “Fuck me hard. Fill me, Luke. Fuck me hard enough that I scream until I’m hoarse.”
He slid into her. Holding her legs up, he bent her over as he continued to fuck her. She reached for him, pulling his head to hers, and begged him to let her come. Taking her mouth with his, Luke fucked her mouth with his tongue as he did her pussy. Moving in and out of her as quickly as he could until she came again, a short burst of a climax had her sobbing for more.
Letting her legs go, he felt them wrap around him. Moving his mouth down her body to her breast, Luke took the pert nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. As her fingers tightened in his hair, Luke felt his balls fill, tighten against his body until he knew that he was going to come. Lifting his head, he watched her face. Fucking her slowly, bringing her to peak twice more, he held her to him as he poured his seed deep within her. He felt her body squeeze his, milk his cock until he knew that he was going to come again. This time, before he could release deep within her, he licked her shoulder and sank his teeth deep as she screamed out his name, her nails digging deeply as she bit him as hard as he did her. Coming, he felt his wolf race along his skin, never taking him but showing him how pleased he was with their mate. Luke threw back his head when she let go her own howl, and his wolf, always so close to the edge when he took Jack, howled too. He was letting anyone within listening distance know that he’d taken his mate. And Luke knew that he’d found everything he’d ever been looking for in Jack.

“Sweet and several others are willing to wait for me to get up and running before they sign contracts with me.” Jack ate another slice of beef on her cracker. “Did you know that Anderson told them that I had lost my mind and set the fire at my apartment?”
“Did he?” She nodded at Luke but was more focused on filling her belly than what he was doing. “I have someone looking into a few things he’s been up to lately. Your man Anderson is going to go belly up soon if things don’t change. And since you’re going to be opening and taking all his good clients, I think it’s a foregone conclusion that he’ll fail.”
“I don’t want anyone to lose their jobs.” And she didn’t either. While she’d been in the meeting with the clients, Josh had taken several phone calls asking if she was hiring. She had no clue as yet and had Josh tell them that she’d get back to them. “I have a couple of them in mind to help out, but I’ve no idea how to go about that. Do you?”
“Yes.” She put a slice of roast beef in his mouth and watched him chew. “I’m thinking about asking your friend Max to run for the police position. And the Feds have said that they’d help out with things if it got out of control. I think they are imagining bad things to come out of this when all I can see are the possibilities.”
Steward had really taken care of everything. The body of Granger had been found in his home with a suicide note. He’d also confessed to taking money from the county he worked for, as well as insurance fraud. Steward had also told them that there were a great many other things he’d done, but that was enough to get others looking into it deeper. There would never be a return on the money, but they at least could breathe easier.
“Max as chief of police? I think he’d do a great job. His wife, Connie, wants to apply for the reception job. Do you think I need one?” Luke laughed and told her she did. “I suppose. Josh is frustrated already about answering the phone. I swear it rings about fifty times an hour.”
They finished off the beef and started on the veggies. She would normally love them but since she’d been converted, she didn’t care all that much for them. Even Luke seemed to prefer meat over them. She’d have to ask Audra about not cooking them as often.
“I was wondering something.” He looked up at her as he massaged her foot. They’d been sitting on the dining room table that had been delivered earlier in the day. She had no idea if it had come put together or Luke had done it by himself, but the sucker was nice. “What are you worth?”
“Are you planning to take out an insurance policy and kill me off?” She laughed when he did and told him she might. “Good to know. But you’ll never have to worry about money. I don’t.”
“Yeah, ‘cause you have it.” He shook his head. “So you have no money. Good to know too. And how are we affording this house? I’m assuming that the county doesn’t pay you that well.”
“What I meant was, we have money and a good deal of it, not just me.” She frowned, never liking when he talked like this. She was still getting used to being his mate. Talking about how much they had together made her a little uncomfortable. “Jack, what I have is yours; what you have is mine too. We’re a couple and we have a great deal of money.”
“Why?” When he frowned at her she got off the table and headed to the kitchen. She wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t follow her, but she needed a minute. When he came in to where she was, he leaned against the doorjamb and watched her. “Why is it our money? I had nothing to do with you making it. And so you know, I didn’t ask you that so you’d tell me it was ours. I have a reason that I’ll get to in a minute.”
“I didn’t think you did. And no, you didn’t have any say in how I used it or even acquired it. What you did have a part in, and a great deal of it, was making me spend some of it wisely. I wasn’t going to buy a house but stay in the pack house for the rest of my days. I didn’t buy a new car because I usually shifted and walked everywhere, and you made me think of the future and investing in life. Not just on other ventures but life in general. Since we’ve been together I’ve made a great deal of money. All because of you.”
