New Age Werewolf Series Book 2: Hunter's Daughter, Alpha's Mate

Part 52: Baby It's Cold Outside

Mature Scene 18 & Up

I awakened first.

Putting up a tent inside the cave was a great idea. It contained our body heat. It was actually warm inside, so warm that we were able to undress to sleep.

Here was one of those times I got to really look at him. He was staying still, and his eyes were closed and not looking through me or making me breathless. His hair was thick, and I could tell it would curl or wave if it grew out. His widow's peak wasn't as pronounced as some wolves, and his eyebrows were...oh, God, did he get those done? Now that I looked at him more closely, they looked it. I stifled a giggle at the thought of this man laying in a chair with cucumbers on his eyes and some person busying over them. But his eyes...oh, his eyes...

I suddenly was glad he was sleeping. Ever since the first time I saw him I was captivated by his eyes, felt like he could see right through me. When he smiled, they sparkled, and I couldn't help but feel warm or smile back....or when they smoldered--yes, they could do that, too-I felt weak, and I got butterflies in my stomach, sometimes from fear like the night he came for me or even in my dreams...

"And what are my eyes saying now?"

I gasped softly as Kyros opened his eyes, his smile completely sensual. "Good morning." It was all I could think to say. I started getting dressed. "I'm gonna check the weather--hey!"

He laughed at me as he caught me by the waist, drawing me against his body. "I was out there before dawn while you were sleeping, love. It snowed, and it's cold outside."

I stretched, reaching out of the tent with one hand, and stifled a chill as I pulled in the thermometer. "Freezing." I put it back out of the tent, and rested my back against his chest.

"It will get warmer as the day progresses," he shrugged, aligning his hips with mine. "We can move when it gets warmer, or we can go at sunset." He brushed my ear with his lips. "How far is the next cave?"

"I--I am not sure, I need to check the map." I couldn't remember with him doing that!

He ran his lips down my neck and over my shoulder as he squeezed my arm. "Oh." He retraced the same path back to my ear. "So...what's our next move?"

"You need to behave!" I giggled softly.

"I am behaving--"

"Well?"

"I think so," he chuckled softly, the sound doing something to my insides. "I just think we have different ideas."

His body was moving against mine. I couldn't believe how easily he was changing my mind! "We should be on guard--"

"I left branches and bird bones with dung by the entrance," He whispered. "They'll think an animal lives here. We are safe." His voice was a growl, stroking and vibrating against my skin. I trembled slightly. A small moan escaped me. "Good, you want me again."

I turned my head to try to look at him, but he licked my neck, then my lips. "Kyros--"

"Give in," he whispered, his hips grinding against mine. His hands ran over my body, causing a wave of aching heat to rise in me. I sucked in a breath. "Sweetheart, you're in heat. I smell it. I can take care of it."

"What--how--?" I gasped as his hands stroked me, his fingers fondling me. I arched against him, my hips against his.

"Believe me, the scent of a female in heat is one that a wolf can track, and to her mate it is--" He nuzzled my neck, inhaling deeply. "Intoxicating."

I parted my legs slightly, and his finger pushed inside. I bit my lip, stifling a cry, and grabbed his wrists, not to stop him but because it was the easiest place to touch since he was behind me. He licked the shell of my ear and lightly bit my shoulder as he pulled my underwear off.

"Open."

I thought I had, but then his finger pushed deeper, and I was embarrassed at the flow of juices he set off. I stifled yet another cry. How does he do this to me?

"Nothing to be ashamed of," he whispered. "It's beautiful." He united us slowly, moaning softly and went still. For a couple of minutes, all I could hear was our breathing and the light hum of our portable heater. All I could feel and smell was him, and I closed my eyes, lost in sensation. I gasped softly as I gently throbbed around him. He braced me against him, and began a pounding rhythm. I found myself biting my lower lip so I wouldn't scream. "Ah, Lani...!" He hissed, his grasp becoming tighter.

I felt lightheaded as the wave came. He stilled, kissing my ear, my shoulder. "Ky--"

"No, not done, love." He repeated it all, and once again, I was surrendering to him. I thought I would scream, but then he bit my shoulder, and I moaned softly. He rolled us so I was sitting astride him, facing away from him. His hands glided over my back slowly, almost comfortingly. I was coming undone. My emotions were all over the place. "Give in, love, give in."

I didn't know what he was talking about. I felt like I was going crazy until I began to move with him. The sensations were bright colors in my mind, I felt like crying when the next climax came, sanity in the middle of insanity. Tears came to my eyes. "Kyros!" I cried softly.

"Shhh." He pushed forward, and before I could move off, he caught my shoulder. Slowly, he came up on his knees, holding me in place as he slowly lowered me onto my hands and knees. "Finally."

The word was a growl, deep and commanding. I gasped softly as he set his hand on my hip and squeezed none too gently, causing me to reflexively arch to him. He began again, and it was so intense, I clawed at the bedrolls in an effort not to scream. I could tell by his strangled cries that he was trying not to yell. We were panting, moving, giving in to each other as only mates could do.

Give in. Give in to me.

It finally made sense, we were giving into each other, the union, us, who we were together and would always be.

Life made sense.
