Epilogue Matt
Two Months Later
“Well,” I said, hefting a duffel bag up on my shoulder. “That was pretty easy.”
Ace threw my backpack on, picking up a potted plant from the desk near the window. “Sure was,” he replied. “I think this is probably the easiest move I’ve ever had to help with.”
“Probably helps that there’s not a lot of room for expansion here. And honestly… I’m hardly here anymore. Seems silly to stay and eat up one of Sam’s rooms.” I paused for a moment, looking up at him for the four hundredth time in the past few days. “Are you sure it’s okay that I move in with you?”
“Matt,” he said gently but firmly. “Stop asking me that. I told you, it’s fine. In fact, I’m fucking thrilled.”
“Sorry… I just worry.”
“Well don’t. It was my idea anyway. And I already got the king-sized bed installed, so I didn’t just give up nearly all of my bedroom for you not to move in.”
“You’re sure we won’t bother one another?” I asked, pulling the door closed as we left the room. “I know the house is small and I don’t want to be all up in your business all the time if you want to be alone. You like your alone time.”
“The house sits on five acres,” he smiled. “I think I’ll find somewhere to go if I need some me time. Besides, houses can be expanded. I built this one to make it easy to add an annex.”
“It would be nice to have an office space or an extra room,” I nodded. “Especially with the garden expansion next year. More money means more paperwork.”
“Well, that’s your fault,” Ace laughed. “If you hadn’t come across that CSA model and talked me into it, we wouldn’t have to expand.”
“It’s just such a good idea!” I insisted. “Besides Community Supported Agriculture has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? You’ve supported the community for years, so it’s time for them to support you back. Plus that means less unhappy customers at the market and you get all the money ahead of time.”
Ace put a hand on my shoulder. “I know, I know,” he smiled. “You’ve explained it to me about thirty times already. Don’t worry, I’m on board.”
“Sorry,” I grinned. “Just excited.”
“I’m glad. And it’s nice to have someone who likes doing those kinds of things. I just want to grow food.”
“You know me. I like to be helpful.”
“Beautiful and helpful? How did I get so lucky?”
Even though he’d been calling me beautiful for months, I still blushed every single time the word left his lips. And I didn’t mind either. It was nice to be appreciated and loved. I’d take as much of it as he would give me. After all, we had the rest of our lives, so I might as well stuff it full of as much love, affection, and great sex that I could stand.
And I could stand a lot.
“On your way out?” Sam’s voice called as soon as the elevator doors opened. He was stationed behind the desk, like always, with a book in his hand.
“I’m checking out for good,” I smiled, tossing him the key.
He caught the key with one hand, his other marking his place in his book without missing a beat. “Just in time, too.”
I furrowed my brows. “Oh? Dying to get rid of me?”
“Actually, I’ll be sad to see you go.” He put the book down and walked around the desk, pulling me into a tight hug. “It’s been nice having you around here.”
“But?”
“But I have a new guy coming in early tomorrow morning, and he’s taking your room. I need to get everything flipped for him.” He put a hand on the side of his mouth, glancing at Ace. “I’m sure it’s another juicy story, and I can’t wait to hear it.”
“Sometimes I wonder if you started doing this because you care or because you just live for drama,” I said, shaking my head.
“I care about wolves like us,” he nodded. “And I love the drama.”
Ace rolled his eyes. “Sounds about right.”
“Hey, nothing ever happens in this tiny town!” Sam glanced back at me, wincing a bit as I glared at him. “Well… almost nothing. So, I take the drama where I can get it.”
“Can’t you just watch TV like normal people?”
“Gods no,” he laughed, waving his hand at me. “It’s books or the real thing for me. Television will rot your brain.”
“You sound like an old person.”
“Not all of us can be twenty,” he shot back at me. “And naive.”
“I thought you were going to miss me?”
“I am! You and that sassy little ass of yours.”
“You like it.”
“I like it,” Ace said, completely unprompted. He leaned back, taking a good look at my perky ass stuffed into a pair of five-inch inseam shorts. “A lot.”
“Wow. You two need to leave,” Sam laughed. “Go back to your little house on the prairie and fuck like rabbits. Please. The rest of us can’t take the chemistry between you two anymore.”
“Sounds like a good idea to me,” I laughed. “See ya later, Sam.”
“You two take care!” he called as we left, knowing full well that we’d be seeing him nearly every other day anyway. Ace and I were always dropping by the hotel with veggies or just to say hello. Sam was family.
Ace’s truck was waiting for us out on the curb. All my stuff fit into the back seat with room to spare. It felt sort of sad to own so little, but at the same time, it was mountains more than what I had when I turned up in Shifter Grove. Besides, Ace lived pretty minimally in a small house. I would’ve felt a lot worse if my stuff was going to overrun his entire home within seconds of my arrival.
“So,” Ace said, turning the engine over. “Dinner?”
“Pizza,” I said without hesitation. “Then take me to the beach.”
“The beach?” He glanced out the window up at the sun that was nearly touching the horizon. “It’s gonna be dark by the time we get there.”
“That’s fine. I just want to let the wolf out for a bit and run.” I reached over, putting my hand on his thigh. “With you.”
“Say no more.” He flashed me a big smile, handing his phone over to me. “You call in the order to Vince, and we’ll head out to the beach after we pick it up.”
“Done and done.”
Thirty minutes later with a hot pizza in hand, Ace and I stepped onto the beach, the whole of Lake Huron stretched out before us. Plopping down in the sand, we began to eat, the sound of the crashing waves filling our ears. Behind us the last golds and pinks of sunset faded away, darkness stretching toward us from the eastern horizon until there was nothing above us but darkness and stars.
“Come on,” I said at last, dropping my crust back into the box. I stood up, peeling off my clothes haphazardly. “Bet you can’t catch me!”
“Is that a challenge?” Ace laughed, taking another bite.
I kicked off my shorts last, standing completely naked in front of him. “Ready, set, go!”
The shift washed over me quickly and I hit the ground on four paws. Ducking down playfully, I gave Ace a small yip and tore off in the opposite direction, heading for the water. I didn’t look back as I ran, focusing instead on diving head-first into the surf. The cold water enveloped me, soaking me down to the skin in an instant. I paddled out a few feet until I hit the sand bar, where the water only came up just past my paws.
I shook myself out and glanced back at where we’d been sitting. There was no sign of Ace. If I squinted, I could just see his hat sitting on the beach. Off to my left, I heard a low grunt, my ears and head swiveling in that direction. I looked up just in time to see a massive black wolf leap over several feet of water, his paws outstretched in my direction. There was a loud thud as he tackled me into the water, the pair of us rolling through the surf.
Pushing myself up, I shook my fur out once more, grunting in Ace’s direction. He was coated in wet sand, but even in wolf form, I could see that smirk on his face. In the past couple of weeks, he’d gotten into the habit of tackling me when we went for runs like this. It never hurt, but he always made sure he took me off my feet. The worst part was, no matter how often he did it, I never saw it coming. The man was ninja-silent in wolf form. It was terrifying.
He must have gotten tired of waiting for me because he sprang forward, tackling me once more into the surf. I kicked him in the belly, getting him off me before I got back to my feet and took off like a bat out of hell. I stayed to the sand bar, the water so shallow it barely covered my paws. Splashing closed in behind me, but I just kept going, knowing he’d catch me eventually. Besides, if I was being honest, I sort of wanted him to.
After he’d taken me out a handful of times, I dove back into the water, heading for the beach. My form shifted back to human, the fur melting away as I stepped out of the water. I glanced back, watching Ace do the same. With a single finger, I beckoned him to follow me. Ducking inside the edge of the woods, I found a fallen tree to perch on as I waited for him. I reached down, stroking my cock, which had already started to thicken. Roughhousing with Ace always got me going.
That’s why, when he stepped inside the woods and saw my hard cock, my hand, and my legs splayed wide, he didn’t even blink. He came over to the fallen tree, knelt down in the sand, and wrapped his soft, warm lips around my stiff rod.
I moaned as he slipped down my cock, his tongue swirling against the underside of my shaft. Letting my hands fall to the side, I leaned my hips forward, driving my cock further down his throat. He opened his throat eagerly, taking me down to the hilt as he grasped my balls, giving them a firm but gentle downward tug. I moaned louder, the heat of his mouth driving me crazy. He always knew just what to do to get me going. After all, he’d had plenty of practice.
But we both knew I wanted more than that. He sucked and slurped, milking the precum from my hard cock. With every bob of his head, he pushed me closer to the edge. But just as I was about to push him away, he pulled back himself, my cock flopping out of his mouth with a small pop. Without a word, he flipped me over, my legs splayed wide with my chest resting on the log. He reached up, spreading my ass cheeks wide, and dove in face first.
A much louder moan left my lips, growing in intensity as he tongue fucked my needy hole. His fingers dug into the flesh of my ass cheeks, pulling them apart as his tongue flicked across my tight entrance. He’d start at my balls, dragging his tongue all the way to my tailbone before diving back in. Each return to my hole saw more and more pressure until the tip of his tongue slid inside, filling my body with sparks of pleasure.
“Please,” I begged, breathless after less than a handful of minutes of that pleasurable torture. “Please fuck me.”
Ace hummed happily against my ass. “Anything you say, beautiful.”
He pulled away from me for only a moment to get to his feet. A second or two later, I felt the hot pulsing tip of his cock press against my hole. He grabbed it by the base, milking his thick precum out onto my ass. We didn’t need lube with his cock around. He produced plenty of his own. With a few short strokes, he had me ready to go. Then he rocked his hips forward, the thick head of his cock pressing inside me.
I moaned and squirmed under him, his fingers digging into my hips to keep me still. Ace”s deep voice reverberated through his body, a growl of satisfaction growing as he pushed harder, the tip of his cock popping past my ring. In an instant, my body relaxed, my muscles melting into a puddle as I used the fallen tree trunk for support. Waves of pleasure crashed through my body, battering all my senses as Ace slowly drove his cock all the way to the hilt.
With his heavy balls tight against my ass, I could barely speak. Between the intensity of the sensation and the full feeling pressing against my prostate, there was nothing I could do but moan in absolute ecstasy. Ace’s cock was easily the greatest thing on the entire planet. I had no idea how I’d survived to nearly twenty-one years old without such a thing. Getting fucked by him was like breathing. I needed it to survive, and often.
I didn’t wait for him to get going. I couldn’t. Flexing my muscles, I began to rock back and forth, fucking myself with his cock. He hissed through his teeth, his fingers digging into my skin as he savored the sensation. Ace loved it when I did that. He enjoyed standing there, watching me eagerly milking his cock with my tight hole, desperate for him to breed me. At first, I was a little embarrassed, but it didn’t take me long to get over it. I was his mate, after all, and he was my Alpha. It was his job to breed me well and often.
The switch came when Ace dug his fingers in and stopped me from moving. He took over the fucking, his cock plunging even deeper inside me as his balls slapped against my ass. I let out a moaning cry, the pleasure coursing through my body almost too much to handle. He groaned happily, picking up the pace.
With each thrust, his thick cock head grazed over my prostate with a thud. Precum oozed out of me with each stroke. A heat was building in my belly, signaling that he was going to make me cum whether I liked it or not. He’d found the perfect angle weeks ago, and now all I had to do was enjoy the ride. There was no need to touch myself anymore because my Alpha had it all taken care of. His thick cock was pure magic.
“Fuck,” I cried over and over, my body rocking in time with his. “You’re gonna make me cum…”
“Good,” he growled back, grabbing a fistful of my hair. “Want me to breed that ass of yours?”
“Please…” I begged. “I need it.”
“You look so fucking beautiful when I fuck you.”
It was cheesy, but it made me smile. “Breed me, Ace. I want it so bad…”
He let go of my hair, both hands moving to my hips as his pace reached a breakneck speed. The sound of flesh striking flesh filled the woods. Anyone out there would’ve heard that or my pathetic whimpers echoing through the trees. But I didn’t fucking care. Fireworks exploded all across my body, ecstasy filling me from head to toe. I lost all track of time and place. All I felt was Ace’s cock against my prostate and that familiar intense tingle growing in my balls.
“Fuck… fuck, FUCK!”
My entire body tensed at once as warmth filled my throbbing cock. With a cry, I came, striping the fallen tree and the sand with more cum than I thought possible. At the same time, Ace’s grip on me tightened, and he slammed his fat cock to the hilt. A growly cry left his lips as I felt his dick thicken even more. A searing heat filled my belly as he pumped me full of his cum. His rod throbbed again and again, each time filling me even further.
I melted against the fallen tree. The only thing that held me aloft was Ace’s shaking hands. A minute or so passed before I felt him slowly withdraw, a gasp escaping my lips as his cock came free. Immediately, I felt his hot seed running down my leg, the sensation filling me with a buzzing drunkenness. I fell to my knees, my chest still thrown over the log. Ace sat down next to me, his heavy cock still dripping cum into the sand.
“Fuck…” I breathed, my body still heaving from the exertion. “That was incredible…”
“It was… pretty good,” he replied, also out of breath. “I wasn’t expecting that to happen.”
“You think I’m gonna be naked on a beach with you and not get fucked?”
“I guess I should’ve known better.”
I nodded. “Uh-huh.”
“Come here,” Ace said, a big smile on his face.
With no effort, he scooped me up into his arms and pulled me into his lap. There he held me, my head resting on his chest as the pair of us watched the waves crash against the shore. The stars shone brightly. Between those and the half-moon, we could see the water shimmering all the way to the horizon.
“I’m so glad I ended up here,” I said, my hand running through Ace’s chest hair. “And with you.”
“Me too,” he smiled, kissing the top of my head. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Ace?”
“Uh-huh?”
“I love you.”
He smiled, squeezing me a little tighter. “I love you too, beautiful.”
