Chapter 7
CHAPTER SEVEN
WOLF
After the intense meeting with the club yesterday, along with the life-changing experience of tasting my sweet Hadley’s ecstasy as it dripped down my chin, the two of us were exhausted. I threw on a movie when we got home, but Hadley was asleep before the opening scene.
This morning, however, my woman is on a mission. I just woke up to the sound of running water and dishes clanking together, signaling that Hadley’s up and keeping herself busy.
Throwing a shirt on, I head out of my room to see what she’s up to.
I stand back and observe the stunning woman with far too many worries racing through her mind.
I can see it in the tense way she carries herself, wiping down the kitchen counter with aggressive strokes, and wringing out the cloth as if testing her strength.
Glowing sunlight streams through the window above the sink, highlighting her bright red hair and kissing the freckles on her cheeks.
Her hips sway with the movement of her scrubbing the counter, mesmerizing me temporarily.
But then I notice that her hands are shaking slightly, the heavy weight of the smuggling ring threat and the sheer-cliff drop of her new reality pressing down on her shoulders.
I step up right behind her, invading her space with deliberate intent. Before she can turn around, I press my palms flat against the counter on either side of her hips, caging her in against my body.
She gasps softly, her breath catching in her throat as my chest brushes against her back. "Wolf..."
"Leave it," I murmur, my voice a low, rough rumble right against her ear.
"I was just trying to—"
"I know what you were trying to do," I interrupt, leaning down so my lips graze the sensitive skin just below her earlobe. "You're trying to keep busy. Trying to control something, anything, when your whole world got flipped upside down in the span of a couple of days."
She freezes, the rag trembling in her hand. "I just... I don't want to be a liability. I don't want to bring your world down."
That breaks something loose in my chest. I gently reach out, wrapping my large fingers around her hand, taking the rag from her and setting it down on the counter. I turn her around in my arms, sliding my hands up to cup her face.
"Look at me," I command softly.
Her big brown eyes rise to meet mine, swimming with vulnerability and the frantic, exhausting need to always be the strong one, the fixer, the caretaker.
"You are not a liability," I tell her, letting every ounce of truth ring through my voice. "You didn't bring this on us. These scumbags were already operating in our backyard. You just had the sharp eyes to find the proof we needed.”
“But… but you’re giving up your personal space to protect me, and–”
“And I’d happily give up everything else to keep you safe. You’re not alone anymore, Hadley. I’m here to shoulder the burden with you, even carry it myself so you can rest. Do you hear me?"
A tear spills over her lashes, tracking hot and fast down her cheek. But alongside the sadness, a profound, aching relief softens her features.
"Nobody's ever told me that," she whispers, her voice cracking. "Nobody's ever let me just... put the weight down."
"Then let it down now," I rasp. “Let go, and trust that I will be right here with you.”
I lean down, rubbing my nose against hers in a light touch. She hums softly and closes her eyes, looking so innocent and vulnerable in this moment. My lips brush against her temple, cheek, chin, and nose, pausing to pepper kisses on each spot.
Hadley tilts her head up, presenting me with her pretty pink lips. I capture them with mine, tenderly at first, teasing almost. My woman stands on the tips of her toes to get closer to me, making me grin at her eagerness.
I give in, opening my mouth and sliding my tongue against hers.
Fuck me, she tastes better than I remember.
My beautiful girl twirls her tongue, tickling me with just the tip, and driving me insane.
The sensation goes straight to my cock, my body becoming desperate to feel, kiss, suck, and fuck her in every way imaginable.
The kiss rapidly escalates into something combustible. Hadley whimpers softly, throwing her arms around my neck and pulling herself up against me as if she’s starving for air.
My hands drop instantly to her waist, hooking beneath her thighs and lifting her effortlessly up onto the edge of the kitchen counter. She wraps her legs around my hips, her heels locking behind my back, dragging me flush against her core.
The heat of her through our clothes makes my head spin. I groan into her mouth, my fingers tangling in her vibrant red hair, angling her head to take more, to drink her down until I'm dizzy. Every touch is frantic, greedy, and filled with longing for more.
I break our lips apart just long enough to trail a hot, devouring path down the line of her throat, my teeth grazing her pulse point until she gasps out my name, arching her back and pressing herself further into my chest.
Without breaking contact, I slide my arms back under her legs, holding her tight against my body as I turn away from the kitchen. With long, urgent strides, I walk us toward my bedroom as her head dips to my neck, licking me and nipping at my skin.
When we get to my room, I reluctantly set Hadley down.
I find I always want her pressed against me, but we also have to take our clothes off.
As much as I want to rip the fabric from her body and sink inside her juicy cunt, I need to take my time.
She hasn’t said it out loud, but I know I’m her first. Her fucking last, too.
Hadley looks up at me with so much trust, mixed with a painful desire that needs my attention. I slowly lift her shirt over her head, marveling at her large, round breasts bouncing before me, caged in by a black bra.
My fingers trace the straps over her shoulders, and Hadley tips her head back, breathing heavily at my touch.
With a flick of my wrist, the clasp of her bra snaps open, the garment falling to the floor and revealing her perfect body even more.
I glide my knuckles down the slope of her neck, her collarbone, lower, lower, until they brush her hard little nipples.
She jumps at the sensation, then lets out a soft moan.
God, she’s so sensitive. I’m going to enjoy watching her come undone.
“Jesus, Hadley, you’re perfect. Fucking gorgeous. I can’t believe you’re mine,” I tell her honestly as my hands play with the waistband of her pants. They, too, pool at our feet, leaving my angel in nothing but her underwear.
“Yours?” she asks as I dip my head to her neck, kissing and licking my way down to her collarbone as my hands knead and squeeze her soft flesh.
“Mine,” I repeat, licking her ample cleavage and softly biting down on her nipple.
Hadley moans, and I turn my attention to her other nipple, giving it the same attention. I kneel down before her and kiss down her torso, biting at the waistband of the last piece of clothing between us.
“You’re so beautiful,” I praise, looking up at her with pure devotion. “Love every inch of this sexy body.”
I bury my nose into her pussy, breathing in her scent through the lace and reveling in how wet she is already.
“Wolf, please…”
I hear the desperation in her voice, and fuck, I feel it too.
I lean my shoulder into her stomach and stand up, carrying her over my shoulder to the bed.
She squeals as I toss her down on the mattress, but her laughter turns into a moan as I crawl over her body and cage her in with my arms on either side of her head.
Not able to keep my mouth off of her for another second, I take her lips in mine, savoring her taste and eating up her sexy little sounds.
I feel her fingers grasp my hair, tugging, and urging me on.
I drag my lips over her jaw and down her neck, pausing to bite the sensitive skin between her neck and shoulder.
Her chest is heaving as she pants and moans so sweetly for me.
I kiss my way down her body but have to rest my head on her stomach to catch my breath and get my dick under control. The fucker is ready to explode before we even really get started.
Hadley wiggles her hips impatiently, and Jesus, I feel it, too. My fingers curl into her underwear and I tear them off, earning me a gasp, followed by a soft giggle. I’m too focused on the feast in front of my eyes to say anything.
Placing her legs over my shoulders, I slide my hands under her ass and pull her dripping cunt close to my face. She’s glistening with need. I can see her hard little clit begging me to lick and suck on it. So, I do just that.
“Wolf!” she cries out, and I can tell she’s already on edge as her arousal gushes from her tight little hole.
I swipe my tongue up and down her slit before spearing it in her entrance. Hadley bucks her hips and digs her nails into my scalp, pushing me further into her sweet perfection. I love that she’s becoming more confident, more aware of what she wants. What she needs.
Her pussy twitches around my tongue as I tunnel in and out of her before moving my attention to her bundle of nerves. I bring her right to the edge and then back off. Again, and again, I wind her up tight only to unwind her before she snaps.
I want her to feel this. I want her to reach it. Pure, deep ecstasy.
Hadley whimpers and twists her hips, trying to get the friction she needs, trying to force me to go where she needs me the most. She shakes and tenses with desire, her whole body teetering on the sharp edge of total, mind-numbing bliss.
I scrape my teeth along her swollen clit and feel her shatter for me, overcome by her pleasure.
Hadley’s cries echo throughout the room, sweet music to my ears. I lap at her release, feeling it drip down my chin. I fucking love it. Fucking need it. I lick her through it, past her orgasm, deeper than she’s ever been before.
“Wolf, ohmygod—”
