Undeniable Craving (6 page)

Now that Jaimie
only wore a bra and panties, Gage pulled away and gazed down her body. She’d
lost a lot of weight, but she’d fill out. He looked at her to find her face had
turned red. She raised her arms and crossed them over her chest as if to hide
herself from him.

“Don’t do that,”
he said huskily.

She blushed even
more. “I’m too skinny. You can see me ribs. I’m skeletal. That’s not exactly
sexy.”

Gage slowly
peeled each of her arms away from her chest and put them at her sides. “You’re
not that bad. Don’t ever feel as if you have to hide a part of you from me.
You’ll always be sexy to me, no matter what you look like. You’ll gain weight,
but you being too skinny doesn’t bother me. I’ll prove it to you.”

He reached under
her and undid the hooks on her bra before he removed the garment. He tossed it
aside and bent his head to drag the flat of his tongue over one of her nipples.
Jaimie sucked in a sharp breath, then released it on a moan. Gage did the same
thing to the other before he latched on to it and took it into his mouth.

He made sure to
give the other tight bud the same attention before he moved lower on her body.
Jaimie grew restless, her breaths coming in small pants. His cock throbbed in
time with his rapidly beating heart as the scent of her arousal perfumed the
air around them. It made him want to tear off his jeans and sink into her with
one thrust, but he wouldn’t do that. He’d make love to her the way she deserved.

Gage continued
downward until he drew even with the spot between Jaimie’s legs that he longed
to explore and taste. He wasted no time in pulling her panties down past her
hips and then off her legs. The under garment tossed aside, he settled between
her spread thighs. His shoulders pushed them open wider. He got his first look
at her glistening sex and growled with pleasure.

He dipped his
head and ran his tongue along her pussy. Jaimie moaned and sank her hands into
his hair, holding him against her. Gage had no intention of stopping just yet.
He wanted her crying out in passion before he took his pleasure.

Gage lapped at
the wet opening of Jaimie’s body, making sure to pay attention to her clit as
well. She clutched the strands of his hair tighter and arched her hips toward
him. He focused on that small bundle of nerves at the top of her pussy and
pushed a finger inside her. After a few strokes, he added a second, plunging
them as deep as they’d go. She rode them, matching the pace he’d set.

“Gage,” Jaimie
said on a whimpered moan. “I’m going to come.”

“Let go. I want
to feel you climax on my fingers.”

He increased the
speed and angled to hit her G-spot with each stroke in. She squeezed her inner
muscles around the plunging digits, her moans growing in volume. He took her
clit into his mouth and sucked. That seemed to be all she’d needed to push her
over the edge into release. Her pussy clutched his fingers, which had his cock
twitching inside his jeans.

After the last
spasm ended, Gage pulled out of Jaimie and rose between her legs. He lay beside
her and reached for his t-shirt to drag it off over his head. She turned toward
him and dropped her hands to the button on his pants. His shirt hit the floor
at the same time she pulled down the zipper.

He shucked his
jeans and underwear and then stretch out on top her with his hips wedged
between her spread legs. The tip of his cock brushed against her wet pussy,
which had them both sucking in sharp breaths. She was more than ready for him,
and he couldn’t hold off any longer from possessing her.

Gage reached
between them and fisted his cock at the base. He dragged the head through
Jaimie’s wetness, coating himself, before he pushed slowly inside her. He took
her in short, shallow strokes until he was seated to the hilt. He waited a few
seconds for her to grow accustomed to his thickness, then canted his hips back
until he was almost all the way free of her body before he sank as deep as he
could once more. He growled, loving the sensation of her inner walls gripping
along his entire length.

He worked his
cock in and out in slow, hard thrusts. Jaimie lifted her bent legs to either
side of his hips and met each of his strokes. Gage propped himself up on his
straightened arms and looked down at her. She had her eyes closed and her lips
were parted as she panted. The love he had for her welled up inside him.

Gage increased
the pace, taking her harder and faster. He angled farther up on Jaimie so his
shaft rubbed against her clit. His balls rose closer to his body as his orgasm
edged nearer to the surface. She held on to his biceps and said his name on a
keening moan. He surged in and out, and when he thought he wouldn’t be able to
keep his release at bay, she came. Her pussy gripped his cock in a tight fist
and milked him into climax. It tore through him like a freight train, leaving
him weak and sated.

He collapsed onto
Jaimie, then quickly rolled so she was sprawled on top him. They both fought to
catch their breaths. Gage would have liked to go for another round, but time
wasn’t on their side. Cyrus and Shyla would have Derrick back before he knew
it, and he and Jaimie still needed to eat. Plus, he didn’t think she’d have
enough energy to make love without a rest in between, regardless of what she
might think. Once she was stronger, he wouldn’t hesitate.

Gage kissed the
top of her head. “I love you. That was incredible.”

She lifted her
head and looked him in the eyes. “I love you too.”

Chapter Six

As the words
left her mouth, Jaimie realized they were true. She did love Gage. Making love
to him had cemented her feelings for him. Already she didn’t think she could
contemplate having a life without him in it. From what he’d told her about the
invisible link that joined them, she knew that was the way she was supposed to
feel. It still was a bit surreal.

Gage hooked a
finger under her chin and gently kissed her. “I’m glad you do, because I’m
never letting you go.”

“Are you sure?”

He cupped her
face in both hands. “Yes. You’re my mate. There will never be anyone else for
me, even if you decide to leave me.”

“What about
kids?”

“What about
them? If this is about you having Derrick, I’ll love him as if he were mine.”

She swallowed.
“I never told you what type of cancer I had. It started in my uterus. I had a
hysterectomy before I went through chemo. I can’t ever have any more children.
Will you be okay with that?”

“Of course. And
if you ever wanted more, we can always adopt.”

Jaimie leaned in
and kissed Gage, relieved that her inability to have more kids wasn’t an issue
for him. “There is that, but I think Derrick will be enough for now.”

He smacked her
on the butt. “We’d better get dressed and order some room service.”

She wiggled her
hips, brushing her pussy against his semi-hard cock. “Are you sure? I can think
of other things we could do.”

Gage smacked her
again, then slid out from under her. He climbed off the bed before he turned to
face her. “Nope, you’re going to be good and eat something for me. Part of my
job as your mate is to look after you. And I’m going to do that.”

Jaimie silently
sighed in defeat as Gage bent and picked up his underwear and jeans before he
put them on. She slid off the bed and then dressed. She was so used to looking
after herself, and making sure Derrick came first, she had to admit she liked
the idea of someone thinking about her needs. She could get used to it.

Once they were
clothed, they picked what they wanted from the room service menu and Gage
called the order in. She found herself unable to stop following every move he
made with her gaze. Now that she’d slept with him, and knew how generous a
lover he was, she craved more of his body.

Gage sat on the
bed next to her. Jaimie turned toward him. “Can you do something for me?” she
asked.

“Sure. What?”

“I want to see
you in your wolf form.”

He smiled. “Do
you want to have a turn at a wolf ride?”

She shook her
head with a grin. “You do realize you’ve started something that Derrick will
expect all the time now. And no, I don’t want a wolf ride. Earlier I didn’t get
a chance to get to know you better in that form.”

“We can’t have
that now, can we? Especially since I frequently shift into a wolf throughout
the day. I want you to be comfortable being around me when I’m like that.”

“I don’t find
you scary. I want to be able to pet you like Derrick did.”

“Remember the
man is still in there as well. You pet me too much and you’ll turn me on.” Gage
waged his eyebrows.

“Typical male.
You have to turn even the simplest thing in to something sexual.”

“Hey, I can’t
help it, especially when it comes to you, my beautiful mate. I’ll always have
that kind of reaction around you.”

Jaimie shook her
head. “Hurry up and shift already before our food gets here.”

He gave her a
quick, hard kiss, then put some space between them before his body blurred and
he shifted to his animal form. She closed the distance that separated them and
then ran her hand down his back. His fur was soft to the touch. And he
definitely was a lot bigger than a regular gray wolf. She looked into his light
green eyes. There was no mistaking the intelligence and awareness that lurked
inside them.

She moved from
Gage’s back to the top of his head and behind his ears. He leaned so hard
against her, he pushed her over onto the mattress. Jaimie giggled as he stuck
his wet, cold nose into the crook of her neck.

“That tickles,”
she said. “Stop it.”

Gage ignored
her. He licked and sniffed until she had to call uncle. After he lifted his
head, she stroked her fingers from the top of his furred head to his neck. His
black fur made his light green eyes stand out.

“It’s a good
thing I’m not allergic to dogs or I’d be sneezing my head off right now,” she
said with a chuckle.

Gage rolled his
wolf eyes, which really made her laugh since it definitely wasn’t something a
normal wolf would do.

“Well, it’s
true.”

A knock on the
door heralded the arrival of their food. Gage jumped off the bed before Jaimie
could and padded toward the door. He shifted to human form as he reached it. No
one would have known he’d been a wolf a few seconds ago.

Gage returned to
the bed, carrying the tray with their meals. Jaimie’s stomach growled at the
smell of food. She had a feeling she wouldn’t have any trouble getting it down.
It would seem she’d built up an appetite after making love. She dug in,
determined to eat as much as she could. She planned to have her mate naked so
she could get up close and personal with his cock after Derrick went to bed for
the night.

* * * *

Jaimie didn’t
end up making love with Gage again that night. Tiredness had stolen up on her
before she expected and she’d fallen asleep shortly after Derrick had gone to
bed. She guessed her body was still working to heal itself from the cancer.
Gage had tucked her in and then turned on the TV with the volume low. It’d been
too early for him to sleep. Much to her surprise, she’d slept without waking
until morning.

She peered at
the digital clock that sat on the bedside table next to her. It was early. A
quick listen proved Derrick was still asleep in his room. They’d closed the connecting
door after he’d gone to bed so they wouldn’t disturb him.

Jaimie turned
her head and set her gaze on the man who slept beside her. He lay on his back,
his chest rising and falling with each even breath he took. Gage didn’t stir as
she rolled to her side and then slowly inched closer. She lifted the covers to
discover he wore pajama bottoms and nothing else. She’d put on a nightgown
while Derrick had gone to get into his pajamas.

Since they
hadn’t made love again that night because of her, Jaimie decided there was no
time like the present. Derrick would sleep for another hour or so, which would
give her and Gage enough time to indulge in some pleasure. She only had to wake
him up first.

She ran a
caressing hand across his well-defined chest. He still didn’t move. She did it
again and was met with the same reaction. Apparently, Gage was a deep sleeper. She’d
have to be a little more intrusive then. She could do that no problem.

Jaimie slipped
under the covers with a plan forming in her mind. She continued downward until
she drew level with Gage’s stomach. She pressed a kiss to it, then made a path
with her lips to the top of his pajama bottoms. She hooked a finger in it and
tugged them lower. He let out a loud snore.

Time for part
two of her plan. Jaimie positioned herself so she straddled his legs, pulled
his bottoms down past his hips and then bent to drag the flat of her tongue
along his cock from base to tip. Now
that
had the desired effect. Gage
sucked in a sharp breath, then groaned. She took that as a sign of encouragement.
She opened her mouth and enclosed the head of his hardening shaft inside,
sucking hard.

“Jaimie?” Gage
asked with a drawn out moan. The covers lifted. She met his gaze as he looked
down at her. “That feels—” He broke off when she ran her tongue along the spot
under the flared head of his cock. “Don’t stop.”

She fisted him
at the base and bobbed her head up and down as she sucked while he slid in and
out. His shaft became fully engorged. She moaned along his length. Her pussy
ached to be filled as wetness pooled. She fondled his balls as she continued to
work him in and out.

“Enough,” Gage
said in a husky voice. “I don’t want to come this way, and I will if you don’t
stop now.”

After Jaimie
released his cock, he took hold of her arm and gently pulled her up his body
until their mouths had a small space between them. Their lips met in a heated
kiss that almost had her toes curling. More than turned-on, she kissed him back
as she lifted the bottom of her nightgown to her waist, then slowly sank onto
his cock until she’d completely impaled herself. They both moaned.

Jaimie sat up
and placed her hands on Gage’s chest. She rode his hard length, loving how he
filled and stretched her pussy. Being on top and in control, she was able to
put him exactly where she needed him. He held on to her hips and surged up to
meet each of her downward ones. She looked down and watched his cock thrust and
retreat. It glistened with her wetness.

Gage reached
between them and stimulated her clit. Jaimie clutched his shaft with her inner
muscles as her desire shot higher. If he kept that up, she wouldn’t last much
longer. She rode him faster, rising on her knees before sinking back down on
him until he was balls deep. His moans turned to wolf growls, and his cock grew
even harder.

He surged up in
to a sitting position and lifted her nightgown off over her head. Gage dragged
a wet kiss across her mating brand, then cupped one of her breasts and claimed
a nipple. With each pull of his mouth, it sent a corresponding sensation deep
inside her pussy. She took him faster and ground her clit against his pubic
bone with each downward stroke.

Gage sucked
harder, which set off her climax. Jaimie let out a low, keening moan as her
pussy clutched and released his cock. The orgasm was long and intense. After
the last wave hit her, he held on to her hips and lifted her on and off him. He
thrust up into her with a look of strain on his face. It was soon replaced with
one of pleasure as he found his release, his shaft pulsing as he filled her
with his cum.

Jaimie brushed
his hair away from his face and gave Gage a lingering kiss. Being in his arms
felt more than right. This was where she belonged, and she hadn’t known it.
Whether it was fate or a coincidence, she was more than happy she’d met him.

He wrapped his
arms around her. “What has you all serious looking?”

“I was thinking
of how lucky I am to have you as mine. I never realized how much I’d missed
having a man in my life until now. I’ll never regret starting a new life with you.”

“Good, because I
won’t either. I’ll always love you.” He cocked his head. “I think we’d better
get up. I can hear Derrick starting to wake up.”

She shook her
head. “I can’t.”

“Well, you don’t
have sensitive wolf shifter hearing. You can shower first, and I’ll keep an eye
on Derrick. I know you wanted a couple days to get organized before we left for
Canyon Creek, but with your ex wanting to be a pain in the ass, I’d like to leave
today. Is that all right with you? We can take what you really need and then
return to Great Falls in a week with a trailer to pick up the rest.”

Jaimie nodded.
“I think that’s a great idea. I have a feeling Neil isn’t going to back down,
no matter what I say. I can call Derrick’s school and tell them we’ve decided
to make a sudden move. I’ll have to call the one in Canyon Creek to get him
enrolled. Lynne might be a little upset with it, but she’ll understand. I’ll
have to leave your address with her.”

“Of course,
especially since she and Rob will be coming for visits.” Gage lifted Jaimie off
his lap and set her beside him. He raised his hips from the mattress and tugged
his pajama bottoms in to place. “Go take your shower. We’ll discuss this more
over breakfast.”

Jaimie slid off
the bed, then pulled her nightgown on. She picked up the bag that she’d packed
for her and Derrick before she headed into the bathroom. Just as she closed the
door she heard the one that connected the rooms open. Her son asked where she
was, then seemed to settle in to a conversation with Gage. She smiled as she
took off her nightgown, listening to the sound of the two most important men in
her life.
