The Alpha King's Hunt

Chapter 14

Valarie

With a growl Gabriel pressed me down into the mattress again, this time lunging forward to kiss me.

It was a mess of a kiss; teeth caught on lips, tongues wet and pressing. He pulled back momentarily to bite my throat and I moaned, feeling myself getting even more wet.

Gabriel pushed my shirt up over my breasts and attacked them, not holding back, his teeth dragging across the sensitive flesh. I'd never been touched like this before, and I realized suddenly that everything before this had been fumbling. Teasing. Gabriel knew exactly what he was doing when he took my left breast in his mouth and sucked hard.

My hands were all over his chest, pushing his shirt from his shoulders and watching as he pulled it off quickly. His skin was pale and I saw it visibly shiver as he fought back the wolf. We were so close to the full moon now – less than two weeks away, and it was harder to stay in control.

But I didn't want to be in control anymore.

I rocked my hips up against his pelvis. His hands wandered down my bare waist, to the panties I wore, and without taking his mouth from my chest he yanked them down my thighs.

My legs were shaking with anticipation. Would he just take me, hard, out of control, like he'd hinted? I was waiting for it – for the ferocity of what I knew would be both pain and pleasure.

But instead Gabriel sat up again and stared down at me with those eyes, like ice. He stared for so long that I almost opened to mouth to ask if I'd done something wrong.

Then his hand ghosted up my thigh and I bit back a whimper.

"I can smell how wet you are," he said, voice dark with desire.

His thumb brushed lightly over my clit, sending spikes up pleasure up my spine. I rolled my hips, wanting him to touch me more, harder.

"Please," I begged, gripping the sheets.

He leaned forward, one hand pressing my legs open wider.

"Do you trust me?" he asked.

It was a loaded question. There were so many rumors. Could he really be trusted? To lead the packs, yes. But with this?

I thought of that morning, how open his face had been as we wrestled. And nodded.

He did the last thing I expected – ducked down, so that his face was framed between my thighs. He glanced down at my exposed pussy and licked his lips.

"What are you –" I started, but he yanked hard on my hips and that shut me up.

"You do what your Alpha tells you," he said in a hard voice. I nodded, feeling pleased when his thumb stroked my thigh in reward. "Open your legs wider," he demanded.

I hadn't realized I'd tightened them, but now I obeyed and opened wider, both mortified and turned on by the way he stared at me there. His breath panted against me and I closed my eyes, feeling myself get even more slick under his gaze.

Without warning, his tongue lapped a long line from bottom to top, barely grazing my clit.

My hips jerked upward and Gabriel pressed them down hard with a growl.

"Hold still."

He licked again, long and slow, and then again. My breath was quickening. I needed—

"More," I whimpered, squirming in his grip. His hands gripped me so hard I knew there would be bruises in the morning.

Gabriel re-positioned himself so that he could meet my eyes. I bit my lip.
