Trapped With the Alpha (Balfour Shifters Book 1) (24 page)

Licking my lips, I slowly pull my eyes away from his and reach out to grab the other fork. I grab a piece of the fluffy pancake, making sure to do as he did and grab a piece of strawberry before dipping it into the cream. Turning toward him, I say, “It’s my turn to feed you for once.”

As I stare into his now ice blue eyes, I mimic his earlier moves and raise my other hand to cup his jaw. The dark stubble on his chin scrapes at my palm, causing a shiver to pass through me and making goose bumps raise up on the flesh of my arms. “Open up, wolf.”

At the sight of my shiver, his eyes begin to flare with lust, almost glowing with how pale the blue becomes. “I’m supposed to be feeding you.”

Raising the fork to his mouth, I gently coax him with my words to take a bite. “Come on, baby. Let me take care of you, too.”

Licking his lips, he then slowly opens his mouth, never once breaking eye contact with me. I place the bite on his tongue and wait for him to close his mouth over it before I slide the fork back out of his mouth. After chewing a few times, he swallows and licks his lips again. 

“Good, right?” I ask on a breathy moan.

Continuing to stare at me, he just nods his head in silent agreement. 

Just as I’m about to say to hell with breakfast and dive toward him, my stomach lets out another loud growl, and I slap my empty hand over it in mortification. “Oh my.”

“You need more.” Chuckling, Brody turns back to the plates in front of us and stabs another bite to feed me. Lifting it up, he stops and winks at me, and a blush graces my face. “Let’s get you fed, and then I can continue with my plans of getting you naked. Deal?”

Rolling my eyes, I open my mouth and wait for him to continue. After swallowing, I reach out for my coffee mug and take a hefty swallow before grabbing a napkin and wiping my mouth. Taking my turn to feed him next, I swoop up the next piece and turn in his direction, and find him already awaiting the food with his mouth wide open and a proud gleam in his eyes.

“Oh, please, don’t act so hot,” I say with a smile. “You know I can’t resist you when you do that thing with your eyes.”

Throwing his head back, he barks out a laugh. “And you know that’s one of the main reasons why I do it. I want you hungry and wanting more than just food.”

“Whatever.” Scoffing at his remark, I turn back to the plate and put the next bite in my own mouth, ignoring the exaggerated gasp that leaves him.

“Hey, now, that’s my job. Give me that fork,” he says, right as he reaches to rip the fork out of my hand. 

Yanking my hand back, I use my other hand to stick a finger in his chest, letting him know that he isn’t to come any closer. “Oh, no, you don’t. You think you’re so smart, making me all hot and bothered? Well, if that’s the case, then no more of this romantic stuff. I will happily feed myself twice as fast, and then you will be left with no excuse but to sate my other needs.”

Throwing a heated glance my way, he picks up the other fork and begins to feed himself. “Well, if that’s the way we’re gonna play it, I will happily eat up so we can get down to business. I couldn’t possibly leave you all uncomfortable and wanting, now, could I?”

I attempt to ignore him and place another piece of the buttery deliciousness on my tongue, and then release an exaggerated moan. “Mmm, you have a deal. However, once this food is gone, all bets are off the table.”

“Deal,” he agrees, taking another bite.

 “Didn’t you say you had some business to attend to this morning?” I stop talking and look up at him, witnessing the querying look he is directing at me. “I wouldn’t want you to be late to something important. So, unless you’re prepared to whip out that gorgeous dick of yours the second I’m done, regardless of where you need to be, I wouldn’t be so eager to play this game with me.”

Placing his fork down on the tray in our laps, he shifts toward me as he says, “Is that right? Those are the stipulations, are they?”

“Yup,” I state as I fork another mouthful of food into my mouth. “So, if I were you, I would focus on less talking and more eating. If not, you’re going to have to leave this bedroom a very hungry boy.”

“Oh, baby, you should know better to threaten me. Nothing you can do will ever cause me to leave this bedroom without getting my fill of you.”

Enjoying our teasing banter, I lean forward and place a kiss on his lips before slowly sucking his bottom lip into my mouth. I give it a teasing bite then release it, only to follow it up with a lazy swipe of my tongue. A rush of air leaves his lungs as he lunges for me, causing the tray of food to fly off the bed.

Falling backwards, I laugh out loud, then find myself unceremoniously sprawled across the bed with him straddling my hips. He runs his hands up my torso while dragging my tank up to bear my breasts, and then leans forward and sucks a nipple into the heat of his mouth, which causes me to arch up into him with unsuppressed need. 

Releasing my nipple with a pop, he looks up to meet my eyes. “You should know by now, love, I always get what I want, regardless of time restraints.”

Trailing my hand down his muscled back, I slowly drag my fingertips across his hip before boldly grabbing a hold of the large erection tenting his boxers. Giving it a playful squeeze, I say, “A little cocky, aren’t we?”

He arches his hips and thrusts his dick into my hand before suddenly claiming my mouth with nothing short of savageness. Abruptly, he pulls back panting and leans his forehead against mine. I continue to stroke him through his pants and ask, “Why did you stop?”

“Lord, Pixie,” he groans out, sounding as if he’s in pain. “You have no idea how wild you make me. I came in here this morning, honestly wanting nothing more than to give you a nice romantic breakfast.”

Running my hand up his hard cock, I say, “I got my romantic breakfast. Now, it’s time for something else.”

“I wanted us to just enjoy each other for once. You know—no fighting, no angry sex, just two people who love each other. Then, without you even knowing what you do to me, I find myself with a raging hard on, incapable of focusing on anything other than the idea of what position I’m going to fuck you.”

Straining upwards, I give his lips a chaste kiss. “This morning has been absolutely perfect. I know things have been tense between us. I’ve been a crazy bitch most of the time, and I get it. I see how hard you’re trying. I really do, but you know what?”

Shaking his head, he continues to stare down at me, silently awaiting what I have to say next. 

I run my free hand over his dark hair. “As much as our angry, frustrated sex excites me, I love our playful, happy sex even more. It reminds me of before all of this happened.”

Cupping my face with his big hands, he gently strokes my cheeks with his thumbs before releasing a sigh. “I wanted this morning to be perfect.”

Grabbing his hand, I drag it to my lips before place a kiss on his fingertips. “As much as I have loved this morning, I love the fact that our hunger for each other is still insatiable after all that we’ve been through. It reminds me that we are made for each other, and that no matter how hard it’s been since I’ve been back, we will make it. We are destined for one another. I swear to you it will all work out eventually.”

Releasing a groan, he slides his hands back and fists my hair before saying, “God, I love you, Izzy. You have no damn idea how much I need you every second of every day. Without you by my side, I feel like I’m burning from the inside out.” Kissing my mouth, he gently slides his tongue in to twine with mine.

I run my hands up his back, reaching his neck, and twine my fingers through the silky hair at his nape. This is the Brody I can’t get enough of, the man and the animal that opens himself up to me in ways that no other ever has. 

Slowing the kiss down, I pull back to look into his gorgeous eyes, eyes that are once again filled to the brim with his barely contained lust. “I love you, too, Brody. No matter what, I will always find you. I will always be here to put out the fires threatening to consume you. I will never let you burn, baby. Never.”

Bringing his mouth down to meet mine, I finally give in to the hunger. The power this man has over my body is something so all-consuming that I am almost positive I’ll never get used to it. No matter how often we come together as one, this uncontrollable need is never sated.

Sliding my fingers from his beautiful brown hair, I trail my hand back down his sides, soaking in the feeling of his muscles twitching and sliding beneath my palms. Continuing on my path, I don’t stop until I have a handful of his ass in my hand. I give him a squeeze before urging his hips down to meet mine.

As soon as I feel the length of his cock brush against my lace-covered pussy, all thoughts of trying to control myself are off. Thrusting my hips upwards, I eagerly meet his downward stroke. The only things separating us are his boxers and the tiny scrap of material between my legs, but even that seems to be too much.

Grabbing his face, I kiss him with a barely contained hunger, throwing all the pent up frustration behind the kiss. As soon as his tongue meets mine, a whimper escapes me, causing him to groan.

He releases my mouth, sliding his lips down my jawline by my neck, and ravishes my neck and throat with tiny licks and nibbles. “Brody, please. I need you so bad.”

Thrusting his cock forward to meet my weeping folds, a hiss leaves him. “You’re so damn wet right now. You’re soaking right through my boxers.”

“Then take them off,” I say as I reach down, dipping my hand below the waistband of his boxers and stroking the silky skin on the head of his dick with my fingertips.

“Fuck,” he growls out against my skin. 

Sitting up, I watch in fascination as his claws begin to appear, replacing his fingernails once again. Knowing what is coming next, I all but writhe in eager anticipation below him. Suddenly, his hands whip out and grab a hold of my wrists. Yanking my arms above my head, he pins me to the mattress before leaning forward and nuzzling my neck. 

“Patience, Pixie. I’ll give you what you want. Just relax and enjoy.”

A frustrated growl bubbles up my throat that does nothing but cause him to chuckle at my desperation. “I’ve got you, baby. Just breathe. I’ll give you my cock as soon as I finish devouring you.”

Attempting to slow my breathing, I focus on the feel of the fine coating of dark chest hair gently scraping against my tender flesh. We focus on breathing together in an attempt to slow our racing hearts.

Kissing me, he slowly sinks his tongue into my mouth, surrounding me with all things Brody. The spicy way he tastes and smells is everything I yearn for. The fact that Brody is nothing but solid Alpha male is something that I could never forget. 

“I need you,” I moan between breaths.

“I’ll give you what you need,” he says as he grinds against me.

The feel of him pinning me to the bed with his strong hands overwhelms my senses. With the feel of his hard length pressed up against me, all of him so completely male, I am forced to do nothing but lay here and revel in all the sensations assaulting me. “Please.”

“I’m going to let go of your wrists now, but don’t move your hands, okay?” he orders as his length slides over my panties.

I frantically nod my head yes, in the hopes that he will let my wrists go and touch me. I am so needy for him right now. I would be willing to sell my soul to the devil himself if it meant that he would finally quench the hunger eating me alive.

“If you move your hands, you will be punished.” He slowly relaxes the grip on my wrists before he begins to slide his hands down my arms, careful not to hurt me with his claws. 

As he traces my collarbone, he begins to lean back and remove some of his weight from my chest. Before I’m even able to miss the feel of his chest against mine, he begins to glide his hands down toward my breasts and my painfully peaked nipples. “You’re so beautiful.”

Immediately, I notice that this time his touch is different than before. It takes me only a second to realize that what is causing the different sensations to assault my sensitive nerves is the tips of his claws. “I love you, Wolf.”

His voice is rough when he replies. “I love you, too, my mate.”

Using every ounce of alertness in my body, I focus on the feel of his fingers moving across my chest. The scrape of his claws across my tender nipples causes a gasp to leave me, even as my body begins to bow upwards in attempt to meet his hands.

He stops the movement of his hands briefly as he looks up from my breasts to meet my eyes. Silently, he seems to evaluate whether or not he is causing me discomfort. Thankfully, he finds no reason to slow his assault and continues on his tortuous path. Gently, he continues to drag his claws down my torso, and a shiver erupts through my body.

“Oh my God, please,” I pant, trying to remain still. 

“I’m not God. I’m your mate,” he growls out, letting his wolf howl out his excitement.

The sensation of his claws on my skin has awakened every nerve ending in my body, and I feel ready to combust with need. “I need you now.”

Continuing on his downward path, he stops to take a moment to bathe my eager nipples with his tongue, swirling the tip around first one tender peak before moving on to the next. Just as I feel his claws resume their path down my body, I hear a shout come from somewhere in the compound. 

Brody stops for a moment, cocking his head to the side, attempting to hear what is going on outside our room. Seemingly satisfied that all is fine, he returns to lavishing me with his hot mouth. Just as I feel him grab onto either side of my panties, a bang followed by another loud shout comes from just down the hall.

Pulling away, Brody growls. “What is going on out there?”

“Probably some of the guys fighting,” I reply, wiggling against him. 

He nuzzles the side of my neck, running his hands down my leg. He’s about to say something else, when a crash of something breaking fills the air.

 “Fuck,” he mumbles before getting off the bed and adjusting his massive erection. “One second, baby. You stay right there. I just want to make sure one of the guys isn’t trying to kill someone.”
