The Scent of Seduction (24 page)

He pulled up his mail system and shot a quick note off to Shaun, asking for an update on the last of the adoptions of the super-shifters they'd rescued from Broyles’ compound. His Beta had worked tirelessly to find them all good homes with shifters of their same species. The Phantom River pack had always been open to intershifter relations, but rarely sought them out. Placing the super-shifters had required his Beta to build bridges that hadn't previously existed, and as a result their quiet little pack was now extremely well known throughout the nation. Fortunately, the general public had never been made wiser about the activities that occurred in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. As hungry as the world was for salacious news, Jaryn was amazed that the ASC and COP had managed to keep everything under wraps.

He thought of the additions to his home as a result of their discoveries that night. Kaden and Gavin were now eight months old, and both boys were little crawling machines. He spent half his time at home chasing them around, and the other half waiting to hear their little voices babble out ‘da-da', instead of the ever popular ‘ba-ba'.

Of the multitude of memories he'd built with his family over the last several months, the most cherished was the first time Jaryn had shifted in front of the boys. He and Nicole wanted the boys to be comfortable around their parents’ wolf forms and had taken turns showcasing for their children. Their little eyes had widened in almost comical proportions. Gavin had laughed hysterically as Jaryn nuzzled his tummy, and Kaden had curled his little body around one of Nicole's paws then promptly tried to stick it in his mouth.

He lifted his head as his mate's scent drifted towards him. Nicole stuck her head in the office and Jaryn found himself smiling, as her presence never failed to make the room seem brighter. He pushed back from the desk and held open his arms. “Did they finally go down?"

Nicole sighed as she sank onto Jaryn's lap. “Yes. I think Gavin may be teething. The only thing that seems to calm him is the rocking chair and a cool cloth to gnaw on."

Jaryn encouraged Nicole to rest her head against his shoulder. “How's Kaden handling it?"

"I can tell he's upset. He doesn't understand what's wrong with his brother. As soon as I put Gavin in their crib, Kaden reached out for him."

The boys were so close, so aware of each other. They relied on Nicole and himself for daily care, but when it came to companionship, it was obvious to everyone who came in contact with the twins that all they needed was each other. Sometimes Jaryn's heart ached a little when he'd be holding one of his sons, and they made it clear to him that they'd rather be in the playpen with the other. But there were other times Kaden or Gavin would be sitting on the floor playing and he'd come into the room to see one of them lift their arms, asking silently for their father. His heart would fill with such love he feared the muscle would explode from his chest.

"What are you thinking about so hard?” Nicole asked softly.

Jaryn's arms tightened around his mate. “How much I love my family. It's amazing how quickly those boys have managed to completely wrap me around their tiny fingers."

Nicole murmured her assent and placed a little kiss at the corner of Jaryn's neck. Her tongue came out to sample a taste of his skin, and just like that, Jaryn's mind shifted from innocent babies to the feel of his mate's body writhing beneath him in ecstasy.

He buried his hand in Nicole's long hair and lifted her head for his kiss. Jaryn locked his mouth onto hers, kissing her deeply. So much of the time they'd spent together over the last few months had been caring for their sons. Pleasurable duties in their own way, but with his mate's taste upon his tongue, Jaryn ached to claim his wife in the most base and primal way. They needed to lose themselves in each other. To share a mating, where neither of them thought for one second about the next bottle of formula to heat or dirty diaper to change. He was compelled to remind his mate of the love and lust that flowed through their bodies and souls in a physical way that left them both panting and sweating as they tried to process the intensity with which they came together.

With images of writhing united bodies swirling in his mind, he nibbled and tasted his way to her ear. He ran his tongue delicately around the rim of her ear then nibbled on it before sucking on her earlobe. Nicole's neck arched back, granting him access as she shivered with pleasure.

"More,” she moaned.

His ears picked up the sound of her rapid breaths and his eyes watched the pulse in his mate's neck pound with excitement. His mouth descended and sucked up a mark over the same tender skin he'd marked the night they consummated their union. There was no physical trace of his mating bite, or for that matter the one Nicole had subsequently given him, but Jaryn knew their souls would forever carry each other's mark. Any preternatural being would instantly recognise that Jaryn and Nicole belonged to each other, and every morning he awoke with Nicole in his arms, he was thankful for the day she drifted into his hometown.

He stood with Nicole in his arms and walked around the desk. The sofa in his office wasn't wide enough to make love to his mate on. They'd discovered that the hard way a couple of months ago when they landed on the floor with a loud crash that'd woken the boys in the playpen in the living room, calling a halt to the enjoyable adult activities. Jaryn bent and picked up the pillows that rested against the armrest as well as the blanket folded over the back. He tossed them both to the floor on top of the thick area rug.

Nicole giggled against Jaryn's chest. “Put me down so we can do this right."

Jaryn shook his head. “Keep your arms around my neck."

He knelt on the floor on one knee and rested Nicole's weight on the other. He spread out the blanket then gave their made up little nest a proud glance. He slid his arms beneath Nicole's knees and lowered her gently to the blanket. Jaryn quickly stripped the T-shirt over the top of his head and unbuttoned his jeans. His mate was just as busy ridding herself of her clothes, and Jaryn's fingers stalled as Nicole's creamy skin was revealed inch by inch. The scent of her arousal floated up at him as she kicked her pants away, and he closed his eyes to savour the blend of honey and musk.

"Hey stud, you going to join me down here?"

Jaryn's eyes flashed open and he licked his lips at the sight of Nicole's nude body spread out and waiting for him. His wife laughed softly and held her arms out to him. Jaryn stood in order to lower his jeans and underwear to the floor. He wrapped his hand around his cock and gave it a stroke. A bead of pre-cum escaped from the slit and this time it was Nicole who licked her lips as her green eyes focused in on the drop of clear fluid.

He captured the fluid with his thumb then knelt between his mate's legs. Jaryn braced his weight on one hand and offered Nicole his thumb. Her lips quickly sucked the digit inside her hot mouth and her tongue wrapped it, capturing every trace of Jaryn's offering. Her teeth scraped over his skin and a low groan rumbled deep in his chest. He lowered his body till they were skin to skin, his head tilted down and Nicole's lifted till their mouths met in another explosive kiss. His mate's arms came around his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist. Jaryn's hands caressed the curve of Nicole's torso and he released her mouth only to trace his lips down her neck. He scooted down her body till he was faced with the full round mounds of her breasts.

He stroked one nipple with his tongue, licking it back and forth as Nicole whimpered and arched her back.

"Harder."

He smiled to himself. Since their mating, his woman had blossomed into a sensual being. Jaryn loved giving into her quiet pleas and demands as they moved together towards the pinnacle of shared pleasure.

"Is this what you want?” His lips surrounded one tight nipple and drew it into his mouth using deep suction. The other one was captured between his fingers, and he tugged on its taut peak.

Nicole's need and thoughts flooded him through their link. His mate hadn't learned complete control over their mental connection yet, and it was times like this that Jaryn was immensely glad of the fact. He let down some of the walls inside his own mind and let Nicole experience his pleasure at her response to his every touch.

He smiled as a soft keening cry lifted into the air, and she shook in his arms as the dual perceptions of pleasure took over her mind. Nicole's legs locked tighter around him and she rubbed her mound against his stomach, the damp heat searing his skin as she tried to ease the building ache. His nostrils flared as the scent of her body permeated the room. He wanted to taste her.

He worked his way down her torso until he reached her mound. Her hips lifted, silently telling him what she needed. Fluid glistened on her thighs, and his mate's pubic hair was slick with dew. He spread her legs wide and held them open. His tongue came out and sliced through her swollen slit. Nicole's hands speared through his hair and tried to push him down, but he refused to move till the pressure relaxed and she started petting him instead. He rewarded her with another lick. As her taste flooded his mouth, Jaryn couldn't stop the need for more rising in his system. It built and built until he was devouring his mate's pussy. He pierced her channel as deeply as possible with his tongue, his lips sucking at her clit and folds. Nicole's hips rose to meet him and the cries above his head only encouraged him to take her deeper.

He released one of her thighs and drew a finger through her now engorged and dripping wet vulva. He eased the finger inside and Nicole moaned, arching her hips while simultaneously clamping down on the digit. She was so hot inside and still tight. No matter how many times they made love, Jaryn was always astounded by how snug Nicole's body held him within its depths.

He eased his finger in and out, spreading her juices and feeding her arousal. As he pressed another digit inside, he relished the sounds of her whimpering and pleading. He looked up the smooth expanse of his mate's body to see her fiery head thrashing back and forth on the blue pillow. Her channel tightened around his fingers and a soft growl rumbled in her chest. Nicole's wolf was hungry, as desperate for a climax as the woman who held its spirit. Jaryn and his wolf thought it sounded like a pretty good idea as well. His cock was so hard he thought it might explode.

"Jaryn,” she pleaded. “Need more...deeper...harder."

"You need my cock, sweetheart? You need to feel me filling you?"

"Yes! Now, Jaryn!"

He gave her what she demanded, adding a third finger and thrusting as deep as his fingers would go. Nicole shattered around him. He braced himself on one elbow and sucked deeply on a nipple. Nicole's howl filled his office and it was the sweetest song he'd ever heard.

He withdrew his fingers and lined up his throbbing cock with her entrance. With one hard thrust, he plunged into her until he was seated deep inside. He planted his hands on the blanket beneath them, elbows locked into place as he threw his head back and gave up a howl of his own. Nicole's pussy milked his cock, demanding his seed, and Jaryn fought for control to contain the beast raging inside him for him to pummel his mate's soft smaller body.

With his beast reined in, Jaryn withdrew until only the head of his cock was seated at her entrance. He held himself still. Waited till Nicole's nails scraped down his biceps and her eyes flashed up at him with animalistic hunger. Then he slid his way back home, this time not stopping until he hit the opening to her womb. Her cervix rubbed against him, making him wish she was fertile so he could feel it contract around him as he knotted inside her. He quickly found his rhythm as he moved in and out of his mate.

Nicole's cry of pleasure rang in his ears as he picked up the pace. He hammered into her over and over. The force of his thrusts made her breasts bounce. Nicole's hips rose to meet every drive of his hips. Her legs hitched higher around his back, tilting her pelvis so he could achieve deeper penetration. If he'd had another set of hands, he would have grabbed the cheeks of her ass as he rode her, maybe played with her tiny clenched ring. They hadn't explored that area of sexual play yet, but Jaryn vowed then and there that someday soon he'd know how it'd feel to sink deep into Nicole's tight ass.

His walls dropped and he fed every ounce of pleasure currently raging through his body into his mate. Nicole screamed and her body convulsed in climax. The muscles of her pussy rippled and contracted around his cock, and Jaryn lost his tightly held control. Seed erupted from his cock and flooded Nicole's waiting womb. Every muscle in his body clenched, his ears rang and his heart thundered in his chest. His wolf howled in pleasure deep inside him at the claiming of their mate.

"Mate! I love you!"

Jaryn collapsed on top of Nicole—his breathing ragged and his mind splintered from the echoes of pleasure still reverberating through this system. After several minutes, he realised that he was probably crushing her and moved to roll over, but was stopped when Nicole's arms and legs tightened around him and her hands soothed the back of his head.

"Stay."

"Don't want to hurt you."

"You could never hurt me. I cherish your weight pressed against me, the feel of our hearts beating against one another."

Jaryn stayed in place and nuzzled Nicole's neck. He did, however, brace some of his mass on his elbows. His hips began to rock as his cock, which had never completely softened, began to fill once again inside his mate's body. The silence of the room exploded with the sound of a call coming through the communication software.

He tried to ignore it. He really did, but the damn thing wouldn't stop, which is what finally cut through his lust-fogged brain. That tone wasn't their home line. It was the one dedicated to pack emergencies.

"I have to—"

Nicole kissed Jaryn. “Go. Find out what's wrong."

He groaned as he slid free of Nicole's pussy and managed to get to his feet. A few stumbling steps and he reached the desk. He pushed the button to accept the link...making certain that he selected audio only.
