The Search for Love - V (Conclusion)

Walking back into the room, Nikolai caught his breath at the sight of his mate. Violet was sitting up on the bed, her black hair falling around her face and shoulders, as her eyes traced over him. He could feel her love and approval through their bond and in seconds, the air in the room was scented with their desire.

"We should clean your wounds," Violet said quietly, jogging her head to his forearm. Nikolai had wrapped a shirt around it on the drive and then donned a coat before entering the hotel to avoid questions. Now, it was open to the air as his body worked to heal the flesh.

"It is fine," he countered, stalking closer. His body was thrumming with want. He could all but taste her need for him on his tongue.

"It will be," Violet countered, her eyes soft. "When we clean it," she continued as she threw her legs over the opposite side of the bed.

"In the shower," she added, casting Nikolai a look over her shoulder that caused every atom within his body to focus.

"It is probably best to avoid infection," he agreed, pulling his shirt over his head as he followed after her. Violet nodded as she leaned into the stall, turning the spray on and then facing her mate.

"We will have to be thorough," she noted, pulling her blouse over her head and causing a growl to thunder through Nikolai's chest at the sight of her. "Even the smallest of wounds can fester," she noted as she slid her pants over her hips and to the floor.

"You are willing to help me?" Nikolai asked, his golden eyes burning molten as he shed all of his clothing. Violet's gaze flowed over him, ears to toes and back, before a delightful, sinful smile curved her plump lips.

"It would be my pleasure," she whispered as she cast off her undergarments and stepped under the water.

Nikolai joined her in less than a second, his mouth descending on hers as he lifted her up against the tiled wall of the hotel shower. The sparks that he'd once felt through the barrier of his mind and the distance of space exploded over his flesh as their skin touched. Growls of passion and need filled the air as he tasted the lips that he'd been aching to feel for years.

Violet melted into Nikolai as he devoured her, his large body surrounding her with muscle and warmth and the earthy scent that had called out to her at the clearing. After the attack that had killed her brother and put her into the pack hospital for a week three years prior, she'd only known the ache of her missing mate. She'd despaired of ever finding him until she'd sensed him through her pain a year and a half ago.

Now, the long wait, the desperate hope for the one who made her feel complete, was a reality. His skin was hot under her palms, the hair on his body delicious as it slid over her flesh. She was aching and happy and nothing could compare to the feel of his perfect mouth upon her.

That mouth parted from hers as he moved her up higher on the wall. The spray of the water to their side, Nikolai looked into her eyes, capturing her gaze as his lips opened and then closed over her nipple on her left side. Sensation attacked her as Violet's eyes closed and her head pushed back.

"Nikolai," she breathed, the sound sweet upon his ears.

Over and over, Nikolai laved at her skin, sucking and biting as one arm held her up and the other explored her curves. His mate was soft and curvy and every fucking thing about her was perfect from her tiny toes to her dark hair, lying wet and long over her back.

His fangs descended as Nikolai heard the change in her voice and felt the pulse of her coming orgasm. Needful and driven, he spread both palms over her round ass and gripped as he angled his body. Her wolf's growls mingled with his own as he brought her down onto his cock, his mind spearing with pleasure on the feel of her.

Violet cried out as Nikolai stretched her from the inside, her body responding with sensation so forcefully that she couldn't contain the sound. He was thick and hard and pulsing and she couldn't breathe right anymore. Over and over he thrust, raising and lowering her as her body became his. And then, his teeth sank into her neck.

An explosion of ecstasy blew apart her thoughts as Violet came. While Nikolai had felt a shadow of it during their time apart, his newly made mark thrust him into the center of the emotion as he felt her pinnacle from both within her and without. The sparks that danced over his nerves as his skin touched hers were overwhelming on his dick, which was buried in the sweet, wet heat of her. With a growl that bordered on a roar, his body responded to the milking of her own and spent, thrusting into Violet deeper and harder.

Gasping for breath and feeling like he'd run three marathons, Nikolai's head fell to Violet's shoulder as he kept himself within her. He felt her soft hands move up and down his back, comforting him as he fought for sanity. That sanity was out of reach, however, when he felt the sharpened points of Violet's teeth on his neck.

Groaning with pleasure, Nikolai's cock hardened again as he moved within Violet. She moaned onto his skin, the sound close to his ear and reverberating through him as her small mouth widened. When her canines pierced through his skin and held on, he thrust against her erratically, his body completely overtaken by the joy she caused.

Violet held on, digging her teeth into his neck as he brought them both closer and closer to the edge once more. As a lycan, his skin was harder to mark, but she'd be damned if her mate walked around with a nearly invisible scar. Every wolf seeing or scenting him would know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this magnificent male was hers.

The possessive need in Violet flew through their bond and acted as an aphrodisiac on Nikolai, increasing his passion and demanding his return. His claws emerging, he raised one arm up around her back and gripped her neck. Scraping his thumb over her new mark lightly as his other palm held her thigh up and wide, he thundered into her as the desire broke between the two of them and they reached the heights of their pleasure once more.

Needing to stay close after searching for so long, Nikolai did not let her go as he turned off the water. Indeed, he didn't release Violet until they were at the bed. Then, as he started to move, Violet whispered a thought to him.

My wolf wants your touch, she said through the mindlink, causing Nikolai's heart to lift. He pulled back, letting her shift on the center of the mattress before his eyes.

His Violet was small in all respects, it seemed. Whereas most wolves and lycan increased in size when they shifted, Violet was much the size of a regular wolf. It caused Nikolai's protective instincts to implode within him as he shifted into his lycan and joined her on the bed.

Nikolai's arms opened to Violet, who spun in a circle a few times before she settled into them, her muzzle resting just above the mark she'd given her mate. His arms closed around her, his fingers kneading through her fur and causing her to rumble a growl of happiness. As the three years of waiting and aching disappeared from her, Violet huffed a breath and licked Nikolai's snout.

I love you, she said.

I love you.

A/N: That's the end to Nikolai and Violet, who came upon me suddenly last night and wouldn't let me be until I typed them up. Hope you enjoyed! -OQ
