Chapter 52
Grey
There’s no way to do this without my cooperation.
Usually the wolf was a dark voice in the back of my mind, but not now.
It was like another version of myself stood before me, staring me down.
A Grey that wasn’t beaten down, first by his own parents, then by his own protective instincts. She’s my mate as well as yours.
So stop putting all your energy into fighting me and start working with me, I replied.
I will if you will.
With a long, shuddering breath, something I’d been holding tight to for years was suddenly released and for just a moment, I marvelled at the fact that the world didn’t stop spinning on its axis.
Tex and Ethan were either side of Nadia, giving her long, slow, sensual kisses, which drew both of us forward.
That and the fact her breasts were thrust up as if begging for our mouth’s attention, as she twisted from one to the other.
Claiming her lips as mine, tasting her pulse as my tongue flicked across the base of her neck, then moving downward to suck that hard bead of a nipple into my mouth.
It was like I couldn’t decide what I wanted to most.
All of it, the wolf assured me.
So I started with the first thing, putting a finger under Nadia’s chin and directing her gaze my way. She looked at me through heavy lidded eyes, as if waking from a dream.
All I had to do was ensure this didn’t turn into a nightmare.
“Look at your mouth,” I rasped as my thumb traced the shape of her full bottom lip. “So swollen and red. I don’t know if I want to kiss you so hard I leave the imprint of my fangs behind or feed my cock past those soft lips.”
“Why choose?” she said, shooting me a cocky smile.
My girl…
Crouching before her, I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. Her knees went either side of mine, opening her wide for me.
“This looks… painful.”
Her cunt was as soft as wet velvet as I trailed my fingers through her folds.
“It…”
Her voice trailed away as my thumb brushed the hood of her clit. Response forgotten, she nodded instead.
“You should’ve told me,” I said in gently chiding tone. “Your pain is mine to soothe.”
When I put her on her back, when I crawled down the length of her body, she went to stop me, hands going to either side of my head.
“I haven’t cleaned up yet.”
“Don’t care.” I nipped the skin of her hip then the softness of her inner thigh. “Your pleasure is all that matters.”
Whatever concerns she might have, they were swept away by my tongue, her hands landing on my skull like a benediction.
Raking across my scalp, I knew exactly what she wanted.
The flat of my tongue laving across her clit, over and over, but that would never be enough.
Until this heat abated, the sensitive spot inside her would ache and ache, which meant I needed to do this.
The wolf and I were one as we lunged forward, forcing not my tongue inside her, but his.
Longer, far more mobile, we filled her to the brim and her cunt twitched and clutched at us in response.
I pressed in deeper, until my fangs came to rest either side of her clit.
“Yes…” she hissed, unable to just let this happen. She was damn near riding my face, seeking greater and greater stimulation.
So we need to give it to her.
It was the wolf’s claws that trailed across her clit, the hard points making her gasp.
Part of me wanted to tear myself away, but her hand, the wolf turning my muscles to stone, kept me right where I was.
Pinching down slowly, she had to feel the prick of my claws but rather than recoil away, her movements got more frantic.
“Grey…” Was that fear or ecstasy in her tone, I couldn’t tell. “Grey, I…”
“Am going to come,” the wolf growled as soon as he pulled his tongue free. “Do it. Bathe my face in your slick. Cover me with your scent, because before your cunt has stopped twitching, I’ll be on you. Thrusting deep.”
“Yes…”
She pushed up into my claws, which just had my fingers moving faster.
“You’ll think you can’t take me. You always do, but…”
His speech was cut off as we thrust out tongue back inside her, trying to curl it so it pressed harder into that spot. Milking it with every pass and being rewarded by little bursts of slick each time.
Here it comes, the wolf purred.
The wolf’s claws dug in far deeper than I would’ve dared and her resulting scream had me going perfectly still.
I’d hurt her, I thought, the realisation like a punch to the chest. Instead of sobs of agony, her frantic pants of pleasure registered.
Over and over, she chanted out the way I was making her feel, until finally the pulses trailed away.
Which meant I needed to do this.
The wolf and I were of perfect accord, pulling free, making a show of wiping our face and then licking our hand clean before moving to cover her body with mine. Nadia looked soft, kind of hazy as she revelled in the afterglow.
“You’re not done yet,” I said.
Her eyes flicked open and for just a second, I saw a flare of fear, but I was forced to stare as that transmuted.
My mate’s hands went to my hips as she pulled me closer.
The moment my cock grazed along her seam, the hot liquid feel of her slick, her skin, forcing my fangs to grind together, even as the head notched at her entrance.
“Going to fuck you now,” we growled. “And you’re going to take my knot.” Her quick nod helped ease some of the tension inside me. “Then I’m going to make you mine. That’s what you need, right, omega?”
“More than anything.”
The way her hands went around my neck, pulling me closer, helped heal something I didn’t know was broken.
Even now, I was sure she’d pull away, say not yet, not you.
That’s where the wolf and I differed, because he just grinned before leaning down to nip at her lips, right before claiming them as his.
As my tongue slid into her mouth, I sheathed myself deep inside Nadia, my moan of bliss muffled by our kiss.
Our bodies started up a slow rhythm, because right now, this was a perfect microcosm of our entire relationship.
Pulling away slightly, only to thrust deeper, getting closer and closer by the second.
When I felt my knot grind up against her entrance, when she started to part around me, my eyes flicked open.
There was no way I could do this without staring at Nadia.
“You need me,” I said in my voice, not the wolf’s.
“Yes.”
“You need everything I can give you.”
“Yes. Yes, Grey, please.”
She clung to my neck, eyes starting to shine, which just made mine ache in sympathy.
“If you let me in, I’ll give all that I am to you, because I can’t hold back anymore, Nadia. It hurt too much. Let me in and I’ll—”
She silenced me with a hard kiss, one bleeding into the other until I was forced to break away to let out a terrible groan.
It felt like she was squeezing the soul out of my body as my knot started to push inside, the pressure almost painful.
Panting madly, we just stared at each other, like two people caught in the midst of a hurricane.
The winds might rage around us, but we could always cling to each other.
“Fuck!” I yelped as I felt my knot lodge inside. “If you don’t want—”
“Claim me, Grey. Make me yours.”
The wolf slammed into my barriers, forcing himself forward just in time for our jaws to close around a fold of skin on her neck.
His fangs, mine, buried themselves in her and then…
he was gone. Not forever, but it was like there was only so much room in my head and right now, that was occupied by my mate.
Nadia? I said.
Right here, she gasped. Goddess, Grey…
My parents had done their level best to break me and in some ways they succeeded.
The wolf was never supposed to be a separate part of me, but it formed that way so I survived.
In this moment, it felt like every part of me snicked together, forming a whole, because all I could feel was Nadia, my mate, her responses, the pleasure I was forcing her to feel, rushing in to fill all the gaps.
My hips moved, snapping harder, faster, as I pushed us on, knowing what needed to happen.
I had to fuck her through one orgasm and then another, gritting my teeth to hold out until she couldn’t manage another one.
Then and only then would I empty myself inside her, allowing myself to get swept up in the same spiral of bliss.
So that’s what I did.
Afterwards, we collapsed down on the bed, panting madly, only for Tex and Ethan to join us.
“Water,” Tex said, handing out bottles. “Everyone’s gonna need to stay hydrated because going into heat in the summer sucks.”
“And I’m on clean up duty.” Ethan was almost clinical in the way he parted our mate’s legs, but if I felt the aftershocks of pleasure she felt as he cleaned up the mess we’d made, so did he. “That should make you more comfortable until the next wave of heat hits you.”
“You mean there’s more?” Nadia sounded slightly shocked, but I looked down to see her smile into my chest as she nuzzled closer. “Riley didn’t tell me about that.”
“About what, my mate?” I asked.
“When I met you guys, I just wanted to have decent sex with someone for the first time.” Her eyelid cracked slightly so she could squint up at me.
“Instead, I found out I have a wolf and once a year I’ll be forced to have more orgasms than I can count over a couple of days with the three men I love.
” With a smile, she closed her eyes again. “Best choice ever.”
“You love me?”
My soul was like a desert, thirstily sucking up any rain that might fall upon it.
“You know she does,” Ethan said, tossing the cloth in the dirty clothes basket. “Just reach out and feel the bond.”
I did that day and every one going forward. That bond was like a light I carried in my heart, burning forever to dispel the darkness. Right now, I pressed my lips to her forehead.
“I’ll never love anyone the way I love you.”
She let out a little sigh and I wasn’t sure if she was asleep or not, but that didn’t matter.
When she woke up I’d tell her, over and over again, because I’d never make the same mistake her idiot ex did.
Nadia would feel loved, cherished, appreciated every day I was alive.
With that vow in mind, I settled down beside her and let my own eyes fall closed.
