Chapter 15
“Okay, hold your horses there, sexy lumberjack man. I wasn’t nervous,” I argued, seeing his perfectly bushy brow lift. “I was just caught off guard to see you leaving without anyone informing me.”
“You literally ran after me through the entire estate, Natalia.”
“It’s a castle. And I didn’t run after you… I was merely following your path quickly.”
“You had a full-blown panic attack because you thought I was leaving.”
I internally gasped—loudly. The nerve. “I did not!”
“Did too.”
“Did not!!”
“Did too.”
“I did—!”
“I’m going to stop you right there. I grew up with a twin sister. I can do this all day.”
My eyes narrowed at him dangerously, yet his lips twitched again.
“You panicked.”
The back of my hand smacked his chest so damn hard that the whack reverberated through the suite.
Laughter erupted from him, husky, wild, and free. Hannes flipped us on the bed abruptly, pressing his massive body against me and sinking us into the mattress.
“Dante is right, it feels amazing when you hit us.”
My treacherous legs naturally wrapped around Hannes’s hips, bringing our bodies impossibly closer. Didn’t they know I was mad at him right now?
“I didn’t panic.” Even in my quarrel, I slipped my arms over his shoulders and arched my back, fixing my body under him.
Big mistake.
Everything fell into place with the movement, our bodies perfectly aligned until his groin pressed against my core. Holy shit. He was massive.
“Is he hard?”
“He has to be. No man can be this thick and delicious naturally.”
Once again, my treacherous body acted of its own volition, my hips shifting to rub him against my center. Desire flashed in his eyes, darkening them, and making him lean into me until his heated breath fanned my neck.
“You literally jumped on me to stop me from leaving,” he murmured next to my ear, the rumbling effects of his throaty voice almost making me moan.
“Why is he still on that?” I growled in my mind.
“Why the hell is he still talking?” Star agreed.
Couldn’t he feel me getting wet right now?
“Goddess help me…”
Accepting my fate as my breaths accelerated, I ground against him yet again while raw need inundated my being. The feel of him made my center start to throb and holy hell, did it feel delicious. There were no words to explain the way Hannes felt on top of me right now, between my thighs.
Hannes ignited every single ember inside me, and we weren’t even naked. He was wearing heavy jeans for goodness’ sake!
I couldn’t feel him properly with these clothes between us, but the phantom feeling of him pressing against me right there, in the most sensitive part of me, was doing crazy things to my being.
Pushing his hips forward, Hannes gave me exactly what I needed. He rubbed his thickness over my center, pressing impossibly close and letting me feel him. I expected to feel him getting hard, to ravage me with his mouth… but he didn’t.
Instead, an adoring look entered his already captivating gaze when he glanced down at me again. He watched my every reaction to him, drinking every shaggy breath that escaped me as though he needed it to live.
“You look absolutely stunning right now, Meine Prinzessin.”
My princess…
The endearment took me by surprise, I’d half expected him to call me his heart too.
“I love seeing you like this.” He brushed his mouth along my cheek. “Feeling me this close, enjoying me.”
“Shut up and make me come already. I’m in fucking heat over here!”
Unable to hold it back this time, that brilliant smile of his returned—swooning me and turning dangerously adorable… right after Star’s commentary.
Wait, he was out of my head still, right? Right?
My mouth opened to ask him just that, but his skin caught my eye, derailing me.
His bond tattoo extended gloriously from the base of his neck, over his wide shoulder, and along the length of his massive arm.
Similarly to André’s and Dante’s, it depicted Star in the center of his bicep, in all of her white fur glory.
Unlike theirs, a beautiful twinkling kingdom with snow-covered Alps, sky-gracing trees, and fluffy clouds expanded along his skin. Yet, the most breathtaking part of it was that Hannes was portrayed there too. All sides of him.
Among the snowy forest that surrounded Star’s wolf stood the Beast, the wolf, and the man. All surrounding her.
Awe captured me instantly, and I couldn’t help but touch him. My fingers traced the outline of his kingdom, his wolf, Beast, and him in admiration until Hannes’s eyes fell closed, enjoying my touch.
It was my turn to smile widely. Not only was it amazing to have him on top of me like this, but seeing the effect my touch had on him did something to me. I liked how powerful it made me feel.
I had him melting in my hand.
When his gaze returned, the ocean swayed in his eyes with a swell of emotions I couldn’t describe.
Taking advantage of his surrender, I guided both hands over his chest, exploring him, feeling every strong muscle, every groove, even the dimples between the bones of his shoulders, and back down again.
Hannes lifted himself on his elbows, giving me full access, and I had a feeling he might regret that soon.
My touch rejoiced as it caressed its way over the perfect eight-pack, and damn, I didn’t even know those were possible. The slight tremble of his stomach reached me as I went lower, my fingertips following the sexy dip of his hip bones on each side until they formed the perfect “v”.
A sensual smirk tilted my lips, and I bit them, slipping a nail under the waistband of his pants. I wanted to rip them off him so badly.
Hannes just looked at me silently, not giving me a single other reaction but still seeming to dare me to touch. Holding my gaze, he sucked in his stomach, creating the perfect space for my touch to wander…
Challenge accepted.
My hand slipped into his pants, the heat of him immediately enveloping my skin as I wrapped my fingers around his shaft. Well, I attempted to, he was so thick that my fingers didn’t make it all the way around him.
“Bitch, he’s so, fucking perfect…”
“I know.”
“I can’t wait to feel him inside.”
I wanted to say ditto, but I didn’t know if she meant as a wolf or as a man.
Natasha once thought he’d kept a distance from her because he couldn’t control his wolf around her, but I had to strongly disagree. The man between my thighs right now was one thousand percent in control of all sides of him.
Dante’s or André’s eyes would have already rolled back with me holding them like this, but he wasn’t even hard yet.
Were he any other man in my hands right now, he would be trying to have sex with me, but although pleasure spread over his expression with my touch and his body pressed closer to mine, Hannes remained composed.
The feeling of him like this was surprisingly satisfying. I loved the way he felt in my hand as I massaged him, squeezing him, teasing him, trying to drive him crazy.
Hannes’s bold gaze held mine, knowing exactly what I was doing but he didn’t even blink. Reaching for the waistband of his jeans, I tugged it down to bring his length out. Only, before I could, he jerked his hips back, successfully pulling out of my hand.
My lower lip popped even as I grabbed his ass and pushed down against my center.
He settled on me once more, rubbing his groin over my needy core to give me a bit more satisfaction.
Sadly, he didn’t attempt to do anything else to me, perfectly happy to enjoy the sensations our bodies gifted us like this.
What a tease.
Hannes leaned into me again, a soft smile gracing his expression while he pressed his lips to my bond tattoo.
It wasn’t a full kiss, he just brushed them over my neck softly, sending a shiver down my spine and making my nipples harden even more.
His gaze fell to my puckered nipples under the tight sweater I wore, and he lowered his mouth to them, biting one over the fabric.
A small gasp escaped me, but I smacked him again while my entire body screamed for him. That little stunt had me trembling.
“Fuck, I want him,” I whimpered to Star.
“Tell me about it, Bitch.”
“I can’t…” he whispered so low that the only way I heard him was through my Vampiri hearing.
Confused, I searched his gaze, I’d been about to order him to make me come.
How did he know?
My eyes fiercely narrowed when he chuckled, his mouth reaching my ear.
“My entire family would hear, including the girls… Wolf Shifter hearing,” he reminded, speaking softer than the quietest whisper.
Oh.
“Bitch, I can be quiet…”
“Speak for yourself.”
Placing a kiss on my forehead, Hannes wrapped his arms around me and brought me with him as he turned, lying on his side while cradling me to his chest. Sighing, my touch returned to his body, enjoying the only thing I could right now without shame.
He was Star’s, but she didn’t mind me playing with him while he was a man.
“What does yours do?” I asked, forcing myself to change the conversation to something that didn’t make me horny.
“What do you mean?”
“Your tattoo, what power does it have?”
Confusion spread over his face when he pulled back to look at me.
Sighing, I lifted myself, resting my temple on the heel of my hand.
“Dante’s tattoo has the power to bring me comfort, it lets his energy connect with mine, making us feel safe.
I think it helped Natasha welcome him into her life and eventually fall in love with him.
He felt like home to her from the start; she couldn’t resist it.
It was also a gift for him since he’d spent so long wishing for his mate, waiting for her, his soul couldn’t wait any longer. ”
Hannes’s confusion deepened, but it also began to transform into bewilderment, like he and the guys never even thought about it like that.
