Chapter 6
SIX
Crew
“You can take tonight off,” Tucker tells me as we head back to our cruisers.
“Are you sure? It’s supposed to be my night.”
What are you doing? Take him up on the offer! My bear snarls at me.
“Yeah, I’m sure. You covered for me plenty when Nori and I first were mated. I owe you. Go spend time with your mate.”
“Thanks, man.”
He nods and claps me on the shoulder before he climbs into his car, and I do the same. I grin as I make the short drive back to the station. I’m excited to be with my mate again. I know that we were only apart for a few hours, but it was a few too many.
I park out front and jog inside, my eyes locking with Vera’s as soon as I step foot inside.
“Mate.”
She beams at me and hurries over to greet me. I meet her halfway and wrap my arms around her waist.
“I missed you,” I whisper as I bury my face in her neck and breathe in her sweet scent.
“I missed you too,” she says as she wraps her arms around my neck.
Her soft curves press against me, and I moan, my cock hardening against her.
“Let’s go home,” I whisper against the shell of her ear.
She nods, and I grab her hand with mine and wave at Tucker as we hurry out.
“See you tomorrow!” I call over my shoulder.
“Have fun!” He calls back.
I just smirk as we speed walk over to my car. I open her door for her and she kisses me softly before she climbs in.
My dick hardens in my uniform pants, and I have to adjust the length before I jog around to the driver’s side and climb behind the wheel.
“How was your day?” I ask her as we head home.
“It was good. I met Nori. She stopped by and invited me to lunch later this week.”
“Good. You’ll like Nori. She’s good people.”
“She seems really nice. I think that we’ll be friends.”
I reach over and squeeze her hand, and she threads our fingers together. She asks me about my day, and I give her the boring details about the few traffic stops that I had—all tourists who were just passing through town—as I pull into our driveway.
“It’s nice that you get to help your pack so much,” she tells me, and I smile.
“Yeah, that’s the good part. Most of the calls just can be boring.”
We head inside, and I set my gun belt on the table by the door. Vera wanders into the kitchen, and I follow after her.
“Are you hungry?” She asks.
“Starved.”
“I can make us some dinner,” she offers.
“I’ll help you. What are you hungry for?”
“Something easy. How about spaghetti?” She suggests.
“Sounds good.”
We work together, moving around the kitchen and getting everything ready for dinner.
“We can put all of your things away after dinner,” I suggest as she plates our food.
“Okay, I don’t have much, so it shouldn’t take long.”
“Do you have more stuff back at your old place?” I ask as we sit down, and she shakes her head.
“No, just what I packed.”
“Well, we can get you some new things if you want. I’ll get you added to my accounts and get you your own debit and credit cards.”
“You don’t have to do that,” she protests, and I smile.
“You’re my mate. You’re mine, and what’s mine is yours.”
“I have some money in savings,” she says, and I smile.
“We’ll figure it out,” I promise her.
We both dig in, and we’re silent for a few minutes as we eat. My bear rolls over inside of me, and I smile.
Our mate is a good cook, he says, and I nod in agreement.
“This is really good,” I tell her, and she smiles.
“I love cooking. It has always been a great way to clear my head,” she says.
“Well, you can cook for me whenever you want to.”
She grins, her light green eyes sparkling happily, and I smirk back at her.
“What do you like to eat?” She asks.
“I’m not picky.”
“What’s your favorite food?”
“A hot fudge brownie sundae.”
“Really?” She asks with a wide smile.
“Yeah, I have a pretty big sweet tooth,” I admit.
“I used to make my own ice cream,” she tells me, and my eyebrows rise.
“Really? Is it hard?”
“No. I had a machine when I was younger, but it broke a while ago.”
“We’ll get you another one.”
I make a mental note to order her an ice cream maker and some other baking and cookware for my mate. My bear nods in agreement. He’s so happy to see her happy. So am I.
We finish eating, and I stand to clear the table and get started on the dishes. Vera joins me, and we stand side by side at the sink, working together in perfect harmony. It feels so good to be with our mate. It’s like everything has fallen into place.
“What else do you like to do for fun?” I ask her as I load the dishwasher.
“I like to read. Um, sometimes I’d watch TV. I had a little one in my room.”
“What did you do with your friends?” I ask her, and she swallows hard and looks away.
“I didn’t have any,” she mumbles.
“None?” I ask in shock, and my bear growls.
Don’t make her feel bad! He snaps at me.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I just mean, you’re so nice and friendly.”
“I didn’t get out much.”
I want to ask her why, but I can tell that she’s starting to get upset, so I change the subject.
“Want to watch a movie?” I ask, tugging her into my arms.
As soon as our bodies touch, a flame ignites inside of me, and my eyes lock with Vera’s. I can smell her desire and my bear roars inside of me.
Claim her! He commands, and I do just that.
My lips slam down on hers, and she reacts to me instantly. She wraps her arms around me and presses her hips against mine.
“Bedroom?” She asks as I trail kisses down her neck.
“Uh-huh.”
Her hands find my pants button, and then she’s undoing the button and tugging the zipper down. When her fingers slip inside my boxers and wrap around my cock, I groan.
“Can I?” She asks, and my eyebrows rise.
“Can you… what?”
“Suck it,” she whispers, and I swear that I almost come right then and there.
“Oh, mate. You never have to ask me to do that.”
She seems encouraged by my answer, and she drops to her knees in front of me, her hands pulling my pants down as she goes. My cock springs out, and she gasps as it bobs in front of her face. I grit my teeth and have to close my eyes when she wraps her fingers around my dick and gives it a testing stroke.
“Vera. Mate,” I choke out and she licks her lips before she smirks up at me.
Then she opens her mouth and wraps her lips around me.
“Fuck!” I shout, and my hips jerk, pushing another inch into her mouth.
She swallows around me, and I curse as I try to keep from coming down her throat already. She sucks on my cock, her head bobbing slowly. She’s driving me crazy already, and she’s barely even started.
My cock bumps the back of her throat, and she swallows.
“Fuck,” I moan, my fingers tangling in her hair.
Her hand wraps around the inches that she can’t fit in her mouth, and she works me in time with her mouth. I look down at her and almost come as I see my curvy mate on her knees before me. She’s so beautiful. So perfect.
So mine.
“I’m close,” I warn her, and she sucks me harder, her hand squeezing me tighter.
My cock starts to swell, and I stare down into Vera’s pretty green eyes as I come. She swallows me down, and I groan as she leans back. My cock slips free from her mouth, and she licks her lips. I almost come again at the sight.
I hold my hand out to her, and she puts hers in mine. I pull her to her feet and then kiss her hard, pouring every ounce of love for my mate into the embrace.
My hands grip her hips, and I lift her into my arms and carry her through the house and upstairs to our bedroom.
It takes me less than a minute to strip my mate, and then I’m pouncing on her, spreading her thighs, and eating her out like a starving man.
She comes on my face a minute later, but I’m not through with her yet. I suck her clit into my mouth and roll my tongue over the little bundle of nerves until she’s coming again.
“Crew, mate, please,” she begs, reaching down and trying to tug me up her body.
I prowl up her body, and then I’m kneeing her thighs wider apart and thrusting into her.
“Fuck!” I shout.
“Crew!” Vera shouts at the same time.
She feels so good wrapped around me. She’s so tight, so hot, so wet.
I lick my lips, tasting her release. Vera clenches around me, and I grit my teeth. Her full tits are bouncing with each thrust, and my mouth waters for a taste.
I lean down, sucking one hard nipple into my mouth.
“Oh!” She cries, and it’s like music to my ears.
I move to the other nipple and give it the same attention. Then my lips are slamming against hers, and I can feel her starting to tense as her orgasm starts to build inside of her.
I’m close too, so close, but I know that I need to get her off first.
I push back onto my heels and grab her ankles, resting them on my shoulders as I pound into her.
I can see the bite mark on her neck, and my bear licks his lips.
Lick it, he says, and I do just that.
My hips rock against hers as I lean down and run my tongue over the mark.
“Crew!” She screams, and I feel her come around my length.
Her release triggers my own, and I come with her, growling out her name as I find my release.
My arms threaten to give out, so I roll onto my side and tug my mate against me. She’s breathing just as hard as I am, and I smile as I kiss her forehead.
“It just keeps getting better and better,” I tell her, and she smiles up at me.
“I know. I didn’t know that it could be like that.”
We’re silent as we cuddle, and I rub my hand up and down her back. I think that Vera’s dozing off, but she surprises me when she leans up on one elbow and peeks down at me. She looks nervous, and it instantly puts my bear and me on high alert.
“What is it?” I ask.
“I need to talk to you,” she says, looking nervous, and I frown.
“Okay. About what?”
She opens her mouth, and my walkie-talkie goes off, the static filling the air before Tucker’s voice comes over the line.
“Crew. You there?”
“Shit, sorry,” I tell my mate. “I need to get that.”
“Of course.”
“It’s probably the damn Red Fog Pack,” I mutter as I head over to my walkie-talkie and answer Tucker.
“I’m here.”
“We have a situation,” he says, and I sigh.
“Okay, where am I meeting you?”
“The station,” he says, and I nod.
“See you in ten.”
I turn to face Vera and give her a regretful smile.
“I have to go.”
“It’s okay. I understand.”
“We’ll talk when I get back,” I promise her, and she gives me a tight smile.
“Be safe.”
“Always am.”
I kiss her goodbye and hurry to get dressed. Then I give Vera one more kiss before I head out.
