Chapter 22 #2
“I want to watch you fill me up, Memphis. Want to watch you take me for the first time.”
Despite the chill in the air, I’m breaking out into a sweat because I’m not even fully inside her, yet I feel like I could go off like a loaded gun with a twitchy finger on the trigger.
She leans back onto her hands, her ass sliding forward just an inch until her ass cheeks are nearly hanging off the edge.
Her eyes are still locked on the spot where we’re barely joined.
Planting one palm beside her hip, the other hooks under her knee so I can spread her legs a little wider.
I keep a rigid grip on my control as I begin the torturous descent into her body.
I’m not watching that though. I’m fully focused on her face, watching the emotions flashing like fireworks across her eyes.
Her thighs are visibly trembling when my knot meets the resistance of her pussy. That slight pressure feels better than any sexual encounter I’ve ever had.
I know the feeling because I’m pretty sure my entire body is shaking. “You feel so much fucking better than I ever imagined.”
Heavy-lidded eyes slide up to mine, then her lips part. “Memphis…”
There’s awe in her tone and a desperation that matches my own.
“It’s okay, darlin’. Let go. Come for your Alpha.”
Her head falls back, her body going taut, as she cries out into the night. I haven’t even moved yet, but I’m way too fucking close. Her body’s milking my dick to within an inch of release, so I start thinking of the saddest shit I can imagine to keep from going off too soon.
Leaning forward, I nuzzle against her cheek. “You are so fucking sexy when you come, baby.”
“More, Memphis. I need more.”
Lifting her up and into my chest, her legs weakly wrap around me. With one arm, I grip the side of the truck and pull us up and into the bed. Gently laying her back, the smell of her satisfaction is so pungent and thick in the air that every breath I inhale pushes me closer and closer to the edge.
Gradually, I withdraw, revealing my dick coated in her slick. Something almost feral awakens inside me. I can feel my hindbrain trying to take over, the need to make her ours coalescing in my gut. I growl, trying to get myself back under control. Nothing has ever been harder in my life.
“Need you to present for me, darlin’,” I bark softly.
With a whine, Shay jumps to follow the order.
She shifts around, and suddenly her ass is in the air, wetness trailing down her inner thighs.
Leaning forward, I lick from her clit to her ass.
If I thought her scent was potent, it has nothing on the flavor bursting on my tongue.
I’d stay here all night if I wasn’t about ready to come and make an ass out of myself.
Shuffling forward, one hand grips her hip, the other notching my dick back into the warmth of her pussy.
Without warning, I thrust forward, my balls drawing up tight when I hear her moan.
This time, I watch my dick disappear into her body.
Watch when I pull back out and slam forward again.
No wonder she fucking came so fast. This shit is the most erotic thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
“Knot, Alpha. Please.” Her cheek is pressed into the blankets, her hands fisting the material.
Leaning forward, I press my palms down on each side of her head and place a kiss between her shoulder blades. “You want this?”
Grinding my hips into hers, the swell of my nearly full knot stretches her tight little hole without slipping in.
“Yes. God, yes. Please. I want it,” she begs.
My hips retreat despite her greedy little cunt urgently squeezing my dick, trying to lock me in place. When I’m poised right at the edge of her opening, I slam forward again, just shy of giving her what she wants.
“I’ve never given this to anyone else, Shay. It’s only right that this first should belong to you.”
Her whine is so pitiful, I growl in response.
I want to give in, to soothe her, but I also want to draw this perfect fucking moment out just a little longer.
But then I feel the telltale flutters of her body around my shaft, and I know I can’t wait any longer.
I’m too close. I won’t survive another orgasm.
Rolling my hips back, I only make it about halfway out before I plunge forward.
The fullness of my knot struggles against her pussy, and this keening sound rushes from her lips.
It’s almost like time slows. I feel every millisecond of her body fighting to accept mine, then suddenly, my knot’s in and settles so deep inside her that when she clamps down around me, I roar as her scream echoes in my ears.
It’s pleasure and pain, heaven and hell, so many conflicting feelings that my body loses all control.
I come so hard that my muscles lock up tight, load after load of my release filling her to the brim.
I’m lost in this almost hazy space where time barely seems relevant. My hips continue to rock, my body using hers to milk every single drop of cum it can manage. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so fucking good in my life.
As the cool night air starts to make itself known, I finally come to enough that I know I need to move. On shaky arms, I grip around her waist and manage to get us onto our sides with her back nestled against my chest. I reach for a corner of one of the blankets and pull it over us.
“You okay, baby?” I ask, nuzzling into her from behind.
She sighs. “Define okay.”
“I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
“Only in the best way possible. I’m not sure my legs will work for at least a couple of hours.”
I’m still chuckling into her hair when a loud rumble interrupts the peace of the moment.
“Shit. I was supposed to feed you first.”
“Trust me. That was worth the wait.” She pulls my hand up, dropping a kiss onto the back of it. My heart swells. “What did you get for us, anyway?”
I squeeze her hand. “Would I lose points if I said Lyon picked it up, so I have no idea?”
She shakes her head. “No. I’m tallying up all the points together. You know, since you’re pack and all. Only seems fair that you share a scorecard.”
Her playfulness makes me laugh again. “Makes sense.”
She looks back over her shoulder. “That man seems to somehow know me better than I know myself. It should be creepy, but it’s not. It’s charming. You all are, honestly, and usually that would annoy me, but with y’all, it just feels really…nice.”
“You sound surprised.”
She shrugs. “I don’t think I fully understood the prejudices I’d built up through the years until you all started disproving them.”
“What do you mean?”
She’s quiet for a moment, her hand idly tracing along my fingers. “How much of my history do you know?”
“A bit about an Alpha you almost bonded and how he’s serving jail time for fraud.”
Her resigned sigh strikes right at my heart, and I almost tell her she doesn’t have to tell me anything she’s not comfortable with, but she starts talking.
“Miles latched on during a time when I was vulnerable. My pseudo-parents had just passed away unexpectedly, so I was all alone. He was wealthy, like the kind of wealthy where dropping a hundred grand on a car was a normal thing, and everyone and everything has a price. I thought I was in a fairytale until a week before our bonding ceremony when he informed me I was basically just a breeding factory and that the love of his life was really our best friend Natalie who would join the pack as soon as our bond was official. It broke something inside of me.” She pauses, and I wrap myself around her a little tighter.
“In the end, I got my revenge, sabotaging our bonding ceremony and putting him and his dad away for good. Then I ran—hopped on my motorcycle and drove off into the night with my evening gown fluttering in the wind. I never looked back. Eventually, I fought my way back to who I was before Miles molded me into a proper society princess, but there was still a small part of me that never fully recovered. That’s started to change recently, though. Thanks to all of you.”
Pressing a kiss against the back of her neck, a purr rumbles my chest in an effort to soothe the pain I still hear in her voice. “I know you said you handed him his ass, darlin’, but I really wish he wasn’t locked up so the guys and I could give him some good ol’ fashioned country boy justice.”
Her laugh settles the beast raging inside me.
“And I think I’d let you. But if I’m honest, looking back at it without the hurt clouding my vision, I can see that I let that one experience skew my perceptions to the point where I expected the worst from everyone, regardless of what their true character was.
I misjudged every single one of you, painting you in the same light as that god-awful excuse of a man, let alone Alpha.
I’m surprised any of you even wanted me after the way I behaved. ”
My free hand strums along her soft skin.
“Even with the sarcasm and snark, the threats to our balls, and your warnings to back off, we never stopped seeing the pieces you tried so hard to keep hidden. Deep down, we knew you were it for us, and if we could be patient enough, in time you’d come around to the idea.
Obviously, that wasn’t a conscious thought, and maybe our patience had a lot to do with biology workin’ its wonders, but I can’t even be mad at it because here we are. ”
“Here we are,” she repeats softly.
Deciding now is as good a time as any, I lay my cards on the table.
“We want you to be ours, darlin’. That’s our end goal.
We’re willing to wait as long as you need to be sure, but the second you give us the green light, you’ll be wearin’ our bites and joining our pack.
The only thing I ask is that you’re honest with us.
If that’s not something you want, tell me.
It will hurt like hell, but we’d walk away if it meant you’d find happiness elsewhere. That’s all we truly want for you.”
It hasn’t escaped my notice that her body has gone tense in my arms. The silence that follows nearly has dread slithering through my veins.
Was it too soon? Should I have given her more time to get used to us?
Should I have waited until the others were with us so she could see how serious we are?
My head is a mess of what ifs and worry.
Then her fragile voice breaks through the panic. “I didn’t think I’d ever be willing to even consider a bond again.”
My entire soul holds its breath. “And now?”
“Now?” She twists as much as she’s able to, her hand cupping my jaw. “Now, that's all I can seem to think about.”
My purr is so fierce I swear the truck is shaking beneath us.
“Fuck, Shay. I meant what I said. Take all the time you need, but in full transparency, I’ll be damned if I don’t want to bite you right the fuck now.”
She smiles against my lips, pressing our mouths together before pulling back. “I’m not there yet, lover boy, but I really don’t think it’s too far off.”
My forehead drops to hers. “I’ll take it.”
Her stomach growls again. “And now, I’m starving and need my Alpha to feed me something other than his cock.”
I growl against her lips, and she just giggles.
Best fucking sound ever…next to calling me hers, of course.
