Chapter 13 - Rhys

Sadie lays spread out before me, her blouse coming undone, skirt pushed all the way up to her waist, as I hold her knees tightly and thrust into her over and over again.

With every pull of my arms and stroke of my hips, she writhes and arches against the table, her breasts bouncing under her blouse.

I lower my head, closing my eyes as I focus on her warm, wet heat wrapped around my cock, pounding into her with short, hard strokes. The spasms deep inside create waves that flow across her skin, little threads of goosebumps that make her gasp as the sensations collide across her body.

I tug her towards me a little more, pressing my hips forward so my cock grinds against her cervix, making her moan. I let go of her hips and run my hands up her thighs, right up to where her knees cling to my waist.

Sadie’s eyes are closed, her arms up above her head as she moans softly. I reach down and run my hands along her belly, sliding under the bottom of her blouse. She shivers and gasps, and I see her nipples harden under the shirt.

I grab the edges of the blouse and rip it open, and Sadie shrieks, a short, violent sound as she bucks against the table, her legs tightening on my waist. I run my hands slowly up her belly, rocking my hips forward a little to enjoy the sensation of being sheathed inside her and teasing her at the same time.

I trail my fingertips across the soft edge of her bra, teasing the nipples poking up through the thin fabric and pinching, just a little. Sadie gasps and writhes, keeping her legs tight around my waist. I close my eyes for a second, feeling my cock moving deep inside her with every move she makes.

My mouth watering, I bend down and yank on the bra, making her breasts bounce free and breaking one of the straps.

Sadie cries out, but it only feeds the predator in me as I pin her with my body and wrap my lips around her nipple, sucking hard and teasing with my teeth as I squeeze and grope with my other hand.

Sadie gasps, her hands coming up to grab my shoulders as she arches under me. A long, low growl echoes through my throat as I pin her down with my hand and move my mouth to her other breast, licking a long trail across her chest, then around her nipple before finally sucking it into my mouth.

Sadie cries out and struggles, making me growl again as I pin her down and dig my teeth into her breast. She yells, and I pull back a little, licking the red teeth marks gently before sucking on her nipple again and lapping at it with the flat of my tongue.

With my left hand pinning her shoulder, my right creeps across her hip, reaching down to grab her ass. I pin her with both hands, sinking my teeth into her breast and thrusting forward with my hips at the same time.

Sadie goes wild in my arms, gasping and writhing.

I growl with pleasure, her struggles inflaming me as I hold her still, my tongue searching for her nipples and my cock sheathed deep inside her.

She suddenly wraps herself around me, moaning and thrusting her hips back and forth, and I feel her pussy spasm, gripping my cock as she comes in a rushing flood, her pussy hot and wet as waves of pleasure crash through her whole body.

I pull back a little, stroking the side of her face as her head rocks back and forth. A little smile plays on her lips, and she opens her eyes, those dark, velvet depths that draw me in and steal my breath.

I kiss her softly, gently, and she moans happily, her hands stroking my shoulders as she wriggles under me. Her pussy is hot and slick, gripping my cock as she digs her heels into my ass and thrusts towards me, urging me deeper.

Changing my grip on her knees, I rub my palms against her hard nipples and squeeze her breasts gently.

Sadie closes her eyes again, rocking her head back as I grip her knees and push into her.

I run my fingers along her thighs, watching her respond to my touch.

She moans, her nipples hardening again, and I can’t resist bending down to suck on them again, thrusting in short strokes to feel her pussy squeezing me as I suck and lick her nipples.

Her skin under my tongue is hot and salty as I lick my way down her belly, slowly pulling out of her as I make my way down, until I’m holding her thighs and hovering above her pussy.

I lean close, making her writhe and gasp, but not touching her with my mouth.

Sadie lets out a little moan and reaches down to grab my head, gasping with frustration.

I grab her waist hard, and she cries out as I pick her up and turn her over, putting one hand on her back to hold her to the desk while my other runs up the backs of her thighs. I tease her wet, throbbing pussy, and Sadie moans as she braces her feet on the floor and raises her ass.

My cock is so hard, it hurts. I put my hands on her hips and take a step back, looking at the beauty of her opened up before me.

Her pussy is glistening pink, hot and throbbing, begging for my cock.

I tease her with one hand, making my cock even harder, then I press the head against her soft, aching pussy.

Sadie screams into her hands as I slowly slide all the way in to the hilt, tightening my grip on her hips as I sink into her, feeling the head of my cock as deeply inside her as I can possibly be. Pleasure crackles through me, a wave of electric fire that sparks through my blood, shocking my limbs.

Groaning, I lean forward, feeling Sadie’s body respond to mine, her soft, wet heat wrapping around my hard cock. I close my eyes briefly, then slowly pull out, ramming back in as hard as I can. I do another few slow, long thrusts, feeling Sadie writhe under me, crying out at the end of each stroke.

I try to hold on, but my body has reached its limit. My hands dig into her hips, holding her still as I pound her hard and fast. My cock gets harder and thicker on every stroke, and Sadie moans under me, her thin, helpless whimpers inflaming me even more until I’m thrashing her as hard as I can.

As my cock swells, a cry rips out from between my lips, a ragged sound tearing through my chest and belly as I reach orgasm, my cock exploding deep inside her as Sadie cries out under me, grabbing at the table underneath me.

I stay still for a second, feeling the waves of pleasure rushing through me, aftershocks thrumming through my blood like sweet music. Then my head swims, and I reach down and grab Sadie, pulling her down to the floor with me to tangle in each other’s arms.

For a few minutes, we both just breathe, feeling the heat in our bodies cooling to a light sweat on our skin. I look down and see Sadie’s big, satisfied smile, returning it as I stroke her hair.

“That was… wild,” she giggles.

“Yeah, it was.”

“I hope no one heard.”

“Do you think they did?”

“Most likely, no. This room is the furthest away from the rest of the museum, and there are quite a few walls between us.”

“That’s good.”

“I guess I’ll be spending the rest of the day without a bra,” she giggles.

“Oh,” I say, looking down at her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t think. Can I run to the shop and get you a new blouse?”

“It’s okay. I have a spare t-shirt in my desk.”

“You always just have spare clothes?”

“Actually, yes. It’s a mom thing. Cassie is a bit big to spit up on me now, but you never know.”

“Oh,” I say, suddenly thinking of all the time I’ve missed.

I don’t want to think about that now. I’m with Sadie, finally, and everything feels perfect.

“I should get back to work,” she says, sitting up.

I sigh, heavy with regret. “Yeah. I should, too. I’ll pick you up when you finish—we’re meeting the pack tonight, remember?”

“Yeah,” she says. “I remember.”

“Okay,” I say. “See you then.”

I tidy myself up and leave the room, feeling hopelessly inadequate but not knowing how else to leave.

***

I spend the rest of the day shuffling back and forth between excitement and dread.

Is everything okay now? Are we together? We can’t be. Maybe this is just a moment to her, and by tonight, we’ll be strangers again.

When I pick Sadie up, my anxiety is still simmering in my gut, but her casual manner reassures me.

She’s not all over me or radiating hostility. I guess that’s the best I can hope for, especially since I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, either.

We arrive at the park. Most of the pack are already there, the kids charging through the trees, screaming en masse. Cassie breaks off from the group and hurtles towards us, leaping into her mom’s arms.

“Hey, baby,” Sadie laughs. “Did you have a fun day?”

“I sure did. Auntie Jean is good fun. She gives us games to play and fun stuff to do.”

“That’s great,” Sadie says, kissing her forehead.

Cassie reaches for me, and I give her a hug before Sadie puts her down. The little girl walks between us, holding her mom’s hand as we approach the picnic tables where older pack members are waiting.

Food and drinks have been set out, but I decide to greet the pack first. Taking Sadie and Cassie with me, I stop by each table, asking people how they are and letting them talk to Cassie.

She enthusiastically talks to the heads of the families, showing off her new knowledge and skills.

After we go past the last table, Sadie takes Cassie over to get something to eat.

“She’s a sweet girl,” Lorna, one of the family matriarchs, says to me.

“Hmm?” I mutter, turning to see her walking up to me.

“Cassie,” Lorna repeats. “A worthy heir.”

“Oh,” I say. “We aren’t sure yet if that’s going to be the case.”

“Well, obviously,” Lorna almost scoffs. “Her mother is an embarrassment.”

The way she says the word mother sounds like a horrific insult, and it spikes my rage.

“You won’t speak ill of her,” I say firmly. “No one will, do you hear me? Sadie is working hard to fit in and do well, and I won’t have anyone disrespecting her. Do I need to go and speak to the others?”

“No,” Lorna says, a little stubbornly. “I understand you well enough. I don’t want you to forget her purpose here, though, and that it’s looking more and more like this weak human woman is, in fact, useless.”

“Enough, Lorna,” I growl. “I’m hearing you.”

“That may be, but do you understand?” she snaps. “You’ve been so caught up with your new family, you haven’t seen what’s been happening here. Our problems are nowhere near being solved.”

I want to defend Sadie again, but I look around at the nearby tables, and I see far too many wolves looking pale and weak when all of them should still be in the prime of their lives.

“You see it, don’t you?” Lorna says. “Grant Harcourt and Gina Lee. They haven’t admitted it yet, but clearly, they are sick.”

“Yes,” I whisper in disbelief. “And Rylan—he’s only thirteen! It’s like I can see a dark cloud on him, and his face looks pale and drawn.”

Lorna nods. “I’m not well, either, boy. How about you?”

An uncomfortable feeling sinks in my chest, sending lines of tension through my shoulders.

“I… haven’t tried to shift for a while.”

“You look good, but just human. You don’t have anywhere near the vitality you should as an alpha.”

“I know.”

“Do you still want us tiptoeing around your wife?”

“Yes,” I say immediately. “The council itself said they were prepared to wait for results and do more research. Sadie is working hard to fit in here, and I know she’d do anything to help us.”

“Anything?”

I don’t answer, just look moodily off into the trees.

“We’re running out of time, boy,” Lorna says, leaning on her walking stick to make her way back to the tables. “You'd better do something, and soon.”

I listen to her slow, shuffling steps receding behind me, and I know she’s right.

But what can I do? I brought Sadie here, just like the ritual said. What else is there?

I look up into the surrounding hills, and the air almost seems to whisper with truth. But I can’t understand the words, and salvation stays just beyond my reach.
