The Scent of Seduction (11 page)

"Wow. I don't know how you're actually able to stand still over here. If my mate looked at me that way, we'd be half naked already."

Nicole broke away from Jaryn's spell to see Jody smiling over at her.

"Yes, well. Um..."

"Honey, I suggest you leave politeness at the door. The mating heat between the two of you is so obvious, it's making everyone a little frisky tonight."

Nicole looked around in shock. Sure enough, tucked into quiet corners there were several couples doing some heavy petting on the couches. In the open area, mates were wrapped up in each other's arms, dancing and talking between kisses to their partners’ necks. The pups had been corralled earlier and were tucked away in the annex, being watched over by a couple of teenagers. It was still odd to think of children as
pups
, but Nicole assumed she'd get used to it.

"Does the mating heat of one couple of normally have this kind of effect?” she asked.

Jody smiled. “It's not your mating heat that's sending everyone into a tizzy. It's sensing the chemistry between the two of you. Haven't you ever watched another couple make out at a party and become aroused yourself?"

Nicole felt heat infuse her cheeks. She'd always had a bit of a voyeuristic streak in her, and it seemed that her new family wasn't any different.

Jody chuckled. “Now give me that glass, go get your mate, and get the hell out of here."

Nicole looked over to find Jaryn had silently moved across the room, and now stood next to them. She blindly held out her glass, and with her other hand took Jaryn's. They slowly made their way to the door. In the distance, Nicole vaguely heard more than one wolf-whistle, but she was so caught up in Jaryn's presence that the teasing innuendo barely registered.

Jaryn led her outside. Under the clear night sky, they walked the pack lands. The air was scented by Mother Nature and in the distance a single howl sang. Leaves crunched under their feet, and when Jaryn brought them to a standstill, Nicole eagerly stepped up against his body.

Their eyes met, and Jaryn's eyes mirrored the glow of the moon. His dark hair disappeared into the blackness above. Nicole lifted her hand and threaded it through the strands on the back of Jaryn's head. The soft ends wove through her fingers. This was it. There was no going back. Jaryn had said their first real kiss would begin the formation of their mating bond, but Nicole believed it had already happened. Jaryn was constantly on her mind. The sound of his voice made her smile and her body quiver. Was the mating bond responsible for the ache in Nicole's chest every time she pondered her life without Jaryn in it?

She tilted her head up. Her lips parted. Her eyes drifted closed as she pulled Jaryn's head down to meet hers. Jaryn's mouth moulded to and caressed hers, then with one hot, delicious stroke his tongue sank inside. She moaned as the sensual slide of his tongue rubbed against hers. He locked his arms around her waist and pulled her deeper into his embrace. Her hands slipped over his shoulders to encircle his neck, latching on to his strength.

Nicole sank into the kiss, meeting Jaryn's tongue. A powerful flavour filled her senses and Nicole arched against Jaryn, desperate for more. The muscles of his body rippled and tightened as they clung to one another. The longer the kiss continued, the higher Nicole flew and the hungrier she became. Jaryn's erection pressed into her belly, and she wished in that moment to have him buried deep and feel his seed shoot high inside her womb.

Jaryn tore his mouth from hers then buried his lips against her neck. Nicole felt his canines lengthen and score the skin at the base of her neck. Fire spread throughout her body and she tilted her head to the side to give Jaryn more room. His hot breath sizzled her skin, but the teeth did not sink into her flesh. What was he waiting for? She needed him!

He cupped her ass and lifted her more tightly against him. Nicole climbed his large body to wrap her legs around his waist. One of Jaryn's arms came around her back and held her to him, while the other kneaded the mound of her ass. Their mouths fused together once again and something inside Nicole sang with pleasure as Jaryn's flavour filled her. A small voice inside her head screamed out,
Finally
!

Finally what, Nicole had no idea, but she had to agree with the sentiment. At that moment, she thought she could spend the rest of her lifetime happily kissing Jaryn, but her body craved more. It craved a deeper touch. She needed Jaryn inside her, and she needed him now. This time it was she who tore her mouth away.

"Take me home, claim me. Please."

Jaryn held her in his arms as he ate up the distance between them and his Jeep. Before they got to the vehicle, though, Shaun appeared, blocking their way. Jaryn growled and tightened his hold on Nicole.

"Beta and best friend or not, I'm not about to let you stop me from claiming my mate again. Now move."

Shaun dipped his head in submission to his Alpha. “I have a car ready for you. You're in no condition to drive. I'll have Cooper bring your Jeep home later tonight."

Jaryn nodded then set her into the backseat of the awaiting vehicle. He quickly climbed in and took Nicole back in his arms. She sank into his warmth. She knew the vehicle was moving, but all of Nicole's focus was on Jaryn. His touch, his kiss, the feel of his strong body against her. It must be the result of the mating heat, because Nicole had never been one for public displays before. But at that moment her hormones had control of her actions, and there was no stopping her need for Jaryn.

"I'm going to eat you alive when we get home. After tonight there's no going back, Nicole. You're mine. My mate. Forever."

"Yes, forever. Mine, too, Jaryn."

"Always."

The vehicle came to a stop and she separated from Jaryn only long enough for him to get out, before he lifted her back up into his arms. He crossed the distance between the driveway and his front door in ground-eating strides. The recognition software unlocked the door quickly and in moments, Jaryn had her ensconced in his master bedroom. Their bedroom now. Nicole's lips slid along Jaryn's neck. She licked at his skin as he'd done to her.

"Hmm. You taste so good. Is it a wolf thing?"

Jaryn set Nicole down, but kept her in the circle of his arms. “No, it's a mate thing. My taste to you, and your taste to me, is like the universe's biggest aphrodisiac. That's part of what I've been trying to explain to you. You are everything to me, Nicole. Finding you is the greatest blessing upon my life."

Jaryn undid the button on Nicole's jeans. His hand slid inside her panties. Long fingers stimulated her clit and Nicole gasped as her hips jerked forwards, demanding more. Her body convulsed as she clung to Jaryn's shoulders. His mouth slammed down on hers, and his tongue thrust inside. Jaryn's other hand speared through her long hair and held her prisoner as their mating heat surged to new levels.

Nicole's hands jerked Jaryn's shirt out of the waistband of his jeans. Her fingertips made contact with the heated skin of his torso. Beneath her fingers, muscles twitched. She felt for the button of his jeans and ripped it open. She wanted to jerk his zipper down and finally expose the cock that had pressed against her for the better part of the last hour, but didn't want to cause any bodily harm to her mate.

"You do yours, and I'll do mine,” she said, breathing heavily.

"Deal."

Nicole stepped back and took the hem of her shirt in hand. She quickly lifted the garment over her head. As the cloth covered her face, he cupped her breasts with his large hands and wet heat engulfed one of her nipples through the lace of her bra.

"Oh God,” she moaned.

The pull of Jaryn's lips on the stiff peak echoed in Nicole's womb and the other nipple stood out, begging for similar attention. Jaryn's teeth lightly scored the stimulated flesh as he pulled away from one breast and moved to the other side. Nicole twisted and arched into his touch, her hands clutching the cloth of her shirt stuck halfway over the top of her head. Jaryn's hand came around her back and unsnapped her bra. Nicole found enough brain power to remember her mission and managed to get the impeding garment off.

"Jaryn, you're supposed to be...ahh...getting rid of... Don't stop!” Nicole fell back on the bed. Jaryn followed, never breaking the suction around her nipple. Jaryn's hand slipped beneath her panties again, and two long fingers spread the lips of her pussy apart. A third surged inside her convulsing channel. “Naked! Now!” she demanded.

Jaryn chuckled and pushed himself off the bed. He stood staring down at Nicole—his silver eyes glowing with the mating heat surging between them. Nicole watched as he lifted his fingers to his mouth and sucked them inside.
Oh my God, that's the hottest thing I've ever seen.

"Delicious."

She shoved her jeans and underwear over her hips and shimmied till the denim pooled around her ankles.
Damn boots!
Nicole's hand cupped her breast and she squeezed her hard nipple, moaning in need. Jaryn ripped his shirt open, and buttons pinged all over the room. The muscles in his chest bulged as he hastily removed the top. He slid the zipper of his jeans down with a deliberateness that had Nicole nearly panting in anticipation. With one shove, both Jaryn's jeans and his underwear fell to the floor and he stood naked before Nicole, his masculine beauty the stuff of legends to her mind. The curves of Jaryn's muscular shoulders filled her vision. Nicole spread her thighs to improve her view which revealed his torso. She followed the line bisecting the muscles of his abs to the hard cock awaiting her. It was magnificent. Tall and wonderfully thick—she knew it would fill her to perfection. It was as stunning as she remembered from their night spent under the blue moon. She licked her lips as the desire to lick and taste him everywhere overcame her.

Jaryn bent over and removed Nicole's boots and jeans. Her now-freed legs opened fully in welcome. Jaryn cupped his hands under her arms then tossed her further up the bed where she landed in the cushion of his pillows. “Your scent reminds me of honey and jasmine. Your skin is pale like the purest cream. I want to devour all the flavours of your body. I want to lick and suck at every ripe and fragrant inch. I want to nibble on all the places that are blushing red."

He joined her on the mattress and crawled between her legs. In one quick move, he pushed her legs up against her chest and buried his face in the desperate flesh between her thighs. Her neck arched back and she fisted the blankets as a high cry echoed from her throat. Jaryn's tongue lashed at her dripping folds, circling her opening then spearing deep into her core. He fucked her with his tongue and Nicole heard his muffled growls as he literally devoured her taste. The vibrations of his sounds pulsating against her clit drove Nicole's relentless need into the stratosphere. Her body writhed in need, her hips surged up to meet Jaryn's fierce mouth.

When Jaryn pulled back, she let out a cry of protest—debasing herself in her plea for his possession.

Jaryn lifted Nicole's legs over his shoulders. “Shh, it's okay, baby."

She whimpered as Jaryn's cock began to fill her—its presence filling every empty space inside her body. He pressed forwards, further and further, claiming her soul as he merged their bodies together. His face contorted in pleasure. His cheekbones stood out as he clenched his jaw. It was obvious that he was forcing himself to go slow for her sake and in that moment, Nicole fell a little harder for the wolf above her.

When his cock was buried as deeply as possible inside her, his hips rested against her ass. Jaryn's nostrils flared as he inhaled the scents swirling in the space around their bed. Nicole's body gushed in need, and as if it was the signal Jaryn had waited for, he slowly retreated from the snug confines of her body. Fearful that he'd leave her body entirely, Nicole tightened the muscles of her core. Jaryn cursed.

"Easy baby, I'm not going anywhere. Not for long. You feel so good. Your sweet little cunt is expanding around my cock. Your juices are dripping from your body, and your scent? My God, Nicole, it's taking everything I have not to simply fuck you into oblivion right now."

"Do it, Jaryn. Fuck me! Claim your mate the way your wolf craves."

"Oh shit,” he moaned. “Here we go, baby, hold on."

He slammed to the hilt in one thrust. Their cries echoed in the bedroom. Jaryn's hips surged forwards over and over. Holy Christ, she'd never been taken like this before. Jaryn's powerful body consumed her consciousness. His hands held on to her hips, his fingers tightening with each thrust.

"Say it again, Nicole,” he demanded.

"Fuck me, Jaryn,” she panted as another slam of his body filled her.

"The other. Say it. Say it now. Give yourself to me."

"Take me, my wolf. Take your mate."

"Mine! My mate!” Jaryn bellowed as he pulled out then slammed back into her.

Any restraint they'd held disappeared. Nicole clung to Jaryn as his hips jack-hammered into her with the ferocity of the beast within him. Suddenly he pulled out and flipped her over. Nicole landed on all fours. Her chest lowered to the bed and her ass lifted, begging for her wolf's cock as any good bitch in heat would.

Jaryn grasped her hips and thrust back inside her body. Each drive of his long cock into her channel sent Nicole's head reeling. He used the power of his strong body to fuck her. Nicole arched into each thrust as Jaryn's momentum increased. Her pussy convulsed and her nipples ached. Jaryn slipped a hand beneath her and strummed her throbbing clit. Nicole threw her head back and screamed as her mind splintered in an explosion of pleasure. Her body undulated, muscles uncoordinated as reality slipped away and Nicole let the wave of ecstasy wash over her.

Jaryn fucked her even harder, if that was possible. It felt as though his cock actually got bigger, thicker, and as Nicole fell over the last crest of her orgasm, a long howl rent the air. There was a brief searing pain as Jaryn's teeth pierced her skin. The head of his cock broadened and began to knot inside her. Fire raced through Nicole's blood stream, and another climax consumed her. Her eyes flew open in shock as some kind of extension grew from beneath the head of Jaryn's shaft and pushed through the opening of her cervix. She felt each pulse of seed surge into her womb. Unbelievably, Nicole felt something shift deep inside her. Something dormant sent out a cry of triumph.
Our mate, our wolf. Finally, the time has come.
