Chapter 15
Nicole
“You want me to what?” I ask, staring in horror at Stealth.
“Ride me, Nini,” he says for the second time.
I think about how everything’s going to be jiggling and he’ll see it all if I’m on top and slowly shake my head. “I can’t do that,” I whisper.
A loud thwack resounds through the room as he hauls me up until I’m straddling him. “Remember what I said about what happens when you put yourself down?” he asks as his hand soothes the spot where I’m sure his handprint now resides. “Seeing you astride my dick, your breasts swaying, is a fantasy that’s played in my head on repeat ever since I realized you were my mate. As far as what you perceive as imperfections,” he says, grabbing my love handles near my hips, “I see it as more cushion for the pushing.”
The giggle that pops out as I wiggle against his length surprises me, but when he raises me up slightly and lowers me onto his hard cock, my laughter turns into a low moan. “Fuck,” I breathe out when I’m fully seated against him, my clit deliciously rubbed by the wiry pubic hair.
“Now, ride me, mate,” he demands, gripping my hips and thrusting upward.
I’m soon lost in the sensations coursing through my body as I chase my release. So much so that when he raises up slightly and sucks one of my nipples into his mouth, I shoot off like a bottle rocket, keening out his name. He continues to power up into me until I feel him still then the unmistakable warmth of his release hitting my womb. As I slump forward, now spent, he wraps his arms around me and rubs his hands up and down my back, peppering kisses on my face. The onslaught of emotions has my eyes filling with tears.
“Why are you crying?” he suddenly asks.
“I don’t know, I think it’s an emotional overload or something,” I admit as I sniffle.
“Do you know how happy you’ve made me?” he questions, rolling so we’re now face-to-face. “I didn’t have an easy life growing up, then I found the Zephyr Hills Phantoms and made a new family, but it wasn’t complete until you came along.”
I cry harder at his words; it’s as though we were two lost, lonely souls until the fates decided I was his mate. Now we’re two parts of a whole and I honestly can’t wait to see what happens next.
“Shhh, Nini, I’ve got you.”
“Are…are you going to want children at some point?” I ask, thinking about Tressa being pregnant. That was something we always dreamed of; having babies who were close in age.
“As many as you’ll give me, sweetheart,” he admits.
“Then we should probably get started because I’m not getting any younger,” I tease, reaching between us to stroke his dick.
“Sounds like a plan to me.”

“A club run? What’s that?” I ask as we head downstairs to eat with everyone else. We’ve been holed up for over a week now, which should embarrass me, but strangely, I’m content. During one of our many talks, he explained that newly mated wolves sequestered themselves away and reinforced their bond, so it was unbreakable. At this point, I think only death will sever ours, and I’m perfectly okay with that fact.
“We’ll all shift then run the property,” he says, taking my hand as we enter the kitchen.
“Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in,” Ogre teases.
“Shut it, fucker. If you embarrass my mate, I’ll take your ass out,” Stealth threatens.
He throws his hands up in the air in a placating gesture and replies, “I was only kidding. Being mated looks good on you, Brother. You don’t look so… tense. Yeah, that’s the word.” Stealth steps toward him and he smirks while moving to the other side of the room.
“Let’s eat so you can explain how you think I’m going to strip down in front of your brothers, then shift,” I state, causing him to growl.
“You’ll shift in here. Nonna will open the door so you can come out onto the deck afterward,” Stealth advises, dropping my hand so he can grab a plate and start filling it. When I attempt to get one as well, he shakes his head. “No, this one is yours. I’m taking care of my mate first.”

As I run after Stealth, I briefly wonder if I can just stay in wolf form. While we’re all larger than an average, normal wolf, I feel very free and attractive right now. I’m not worried about whether my thighs and ass are jiggling everywhere. No, I’m concerned about the scent of prey I just picked up as I veer off the path and begin tracking.
“That’s one,” Stealth says in my head. “For thinking you’re less than beautiful in your human form,” he adds. “Your wolf is stunning, but I’m partial to the brown-haired beauty who sleeps in my arms every night.”
“You say the sweetest things to me,” I reply.
“And I mean every one of them,” he asserts. “ Now, let’s see how you do at taking out this rabbit.”

“Wasn’t it a total blast?” Tressa asks when we’re back at the clubhouse.
Stealth and I went upstairs and took a shower together, which led to another awesome round of sex, but now we’re all in the common room. The guys are shooting pool and darts, while Tressa and I are sitting at a table, talking.
“It really was,” I admit. “Who knew that the books we’ve loved for so long were based on truth?”
“Right? Oh, I hope you get pregnant soon. I want our kids to be best friends like we are!” she exclaims.
“We’re working on it,” I reply, grinning at her when she lets out a shriek of excitement that’s so loud, Chaos turns to look in our direction.
“Sweet! Well, hurry it up, Nini! We can do motherhood together then!”
I giggle because I suspect during one of our marathon sessions, something took so to speak. It’s too early to tell for sure, but I felt different afterwards, as if the fates were telling me something.
“I’ll do my best, okay?”
“Knowing you, it’s probably already a done deal,” she teases.
Shrugging, I reply, “Who knows? Only time will tell.”

Drifting off to sleep that night, I murmur, “I love you, Stealth. Thank you for giving me a life I’ve only ever dreamed could happen.”
He kisses my temple and replies, “I love you more, Nicole. The best is yet to come.”
The end…for now
