Chapter Ten
Rocco didn’t like being ordered around and as he was pulled into the dining room, he stopped glaring the moment he saw Rose. She was dressed in a beautiful red, with some of her hair pinned back while half of it fell around her shoulders.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
Graham sighed, almost contentedly. “I’m just going to say it. You both need to get over your differences, have sex, so you can be focused on me during the full moon. I’ve gotten enough information from the two of you to realize you’re a virgin, and you’re an asshole, but you are both mated. Both of you accept that you are mated, don’t you?”
Rocco nodded as did Rose.
“There, see, we’re making progress. So, what you both need to do is have some sex. Now, you need to do this with me out of the house, and I’ve set myself up a nice little boudoir in the garden shed. You can trust me. It is complete with a heater, food, a thermos, and some pretty good books. I’m all set, and if I need you, I have set these up as well.” He held up a walkie-talkie. “I demand, as your friend, someone who might very likely die soon, that you two realize that what you have is pretty damn special.”
He looked to Rose then to him, and finally turned on his heel, wishing them both a good night, and left.
Rocco looked toward Rose. “You look stunning.”
“Thank you. You clean up nicely.”
He wore his leather cut, a pair of jeans, and a shirt. Graham had told him to look nice, but he didn’t know exactly what that entailed.
“Did you make dinner?” he asked.
“No, this is all Graham.”
“I should have known. He’s got a little selfish streak, the man cannot be trusted.”
He loved the sound of her giggle. He always wanted to be the one to make her laugh. Moving toward the table, he held out a chair. “Would you like to sit?” he asked.
She nodded and took a seat. “Thank you.”
Pushing her chair back in, there was a moment where all he did was inhale the scent of her perfume. Again, floral mixed with vanilla. It was a heavy scent but he loved the fragrance.
There was a large dish covered by a metal dome, and he reached out and opened it, only to find some potato alphabet things, with the words, “Mate Each Other.”
Rose laughed. “Wow, can you believe him?” There were also slices of buttered bread.
“Unbelievable,” Rocco said.
“We should have known he doesn’t cook. He’s never volunteered to do any of the cooking.”
“Yeah, but he likes to do a lot of the eating.”
“Naturally.”
Rocco reached for two slices of bread. “Can I interest you in a sandwich?”
“You certainly can.”
He added several of the alphabet potato bites and squished them together in a sandwich, which he handed to her. He made himself a sandwich, took a bite, and then glanced over at Rose.
“I guess we should talk about this?” Rocco asked.
She shook her head. “I don’t know. I think talking is becoming a little overrated, don’t you? We tend to annoy one another. Maybe this time, you and I should just do ?” Rose asked.
Together, they dropped the sandwich, and Rocco moved the table out of the way as he reached for Rose.
She was already coming toward him, and he pulled her close, lifting the dress of her skirt, and touching her naked ass. Within seconds, Rocco had her in his arms and he started to walk her back toward the direction of their bedroom.
Kicking the door shut behind him, he followed her down onto the bed. This time, he broke the kiss and began to trail his lips down her body, going toward her neck, then down further toward her tits. Even though he loved the dress on her, it was getting in the way. He gripped either side and then tugged it apart to have her naked and ready for him. She let out a little soft moan that was so cute and sexy.
Her tits were covered by a bra, and he took care of that with a single pull. Nothing was coming between him and his mate. Staring at her tits, he felt the hardening of his cock as he pressed them together and started to lavish each bud. His mouth watered, and he swallowed one large nipple whole, hearing her soft moan as it emitted into the air. His name spilled from her lips like the perfect music it was always meant to be.
Rocco couldn’t get enough of her tits. Moving between each bud, he flicked his tongue across the tips, and then the scent of her arousal was driving him crazy. He needed to press his face against her core, to lick and suck at her cunt.
He tore at the last buttons of her dress as he moved it out of his path, licking and sucking at her sweet body. Down he went, spreading her thighs, and pressing his face against her core.
She moaned his name.
Rocco had no patience with the pair of flimsy panties she wore, and he soon pulled them right off her body. She was not going to be needing them anytime soon.
With her naked and nothing in his way, he dived into licking and sucking at her virgin pussy.
He’d never been with a virgin before, but then he’d also never been with his mate. It was like his wolf was taking over, guiding him, showing him what needed to be done, and he merely followed the directions.
She screamed his name as he circled her clit, sliding back and forth, loving the taste of her as she exploded on his tongue. Finally, he was truly getting to taste his mate and not holding back, even for a second.
Rocco threw her over the edge into a release that had her almost jerking off the bed, but he pressed a hand to her stomach, keeping her in place. He wanted to spend more time licking her cunt, but instead stepped back, wiping the excess juice off his face, and then he worked on removing his own clothes. He stared into her eyes as he did.
Rose averted her gaze, but only to glance down the length of his body, and he wanted her gaze on him. It was a heady sensation.
His cock was so hard, and once he released himself, he wrapped his fingers around the length. Starting at the base, he worked up to the tip, then back down again. The tip glistened with his pre-cum. He was tempted to put a show on for her, but he also knew his control would only last so long, and he crawled onto the bed.
She stayed still and he slid between her spread legs, taking possession of her mouth.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“Yes.”
His felt his beast close to the surface, wanting to take her, to love her, protect her, to do whatever was necessary to bind her to him.
Reaching down between them, he held his cock, guiding the tip toward her entrance, and then staring into her eyes, he held himself perfectly still, just looking at her. Rose was beautiful. She was his mate.
What the hell was I thinking in rejecting this woman?
I’m a fucking idiot.
This is a gift. Rose is a gift.
And he was determined to never let his gift get away, as he slammed balls-deep, tearing through her virginity and finally taking claim of his woman.

Draco watched as Lelah tried not to show she was shaking.
He’d been able to keep her identity and location a secret for a few months now. Longer than he thought he would be able to. Each full moon was always difficult, but like Graham, she seemed to be defying the odds, until her body seemed to not be.
“Talk to me,” he said.
“It’s fine.”
“I know this is not fine.”
She smiled. “I … it’s … the pain, at times I feel like my skin is burning, like I want to tear my flesh right off the bones.”
He nodded. “That’s part of the transition.”
Lelah nodded. “Then it’s like my body is so cold, and even if I was to stand in a volcano, I wouldn’t be able to get warm.”
“That’s also part of the transition. It’s how the wolf becomes one with … you.”
He saw her look down at her body, and he quickly removed his jacket, trying to give her the warmth she so desperately needed.
“This isn’t good, though, is it?” Lelah asked.
Draco couldn’t say a word. This was the first woman he’d been close to in a long time. She was also the first human woman he’d ever been able to stand. When it came to humans, he’d always struggled with his control. Even though he knew not all of them were responsible for taking his mate, he pushed them to the same category of being his enemy, and there were times he wanted to kill every one of them.
“No, it’s not good,” he said, hating to be honest.
She gave a light laugh. “I like your honesty.” She shook hard. “You know, all I did was go to the vet with a dog I had rescued.”
Lelah began to shake even more.
Draco had told her as much information as he willingly could. She knew of Doctor Milton. He’d claimed to have needed to give her a shot. Lelah hadn’t known it wasn’t necessary for a vet to give anyone who’d brought in a stray an injection, but he’d done so for her. She hadn’t argued or questioned it.
This made him hate Milton even more. He didn’t get consent from the people he experimented on. This was just a sick and twisted game to him.
“Do you know what happened to the dog?” Draco asked.
Lelah shook her head. “No, I don’t remember anything other than being passed out.”
Draco wanted to touch her shoulder, to offer her comfort, but anytime he touched her, it seemed to cause her more pain.
He knew he should tell the club, but then they’d put her in the cages or try a new method.
For the past few days, he’d been thinking about Rose’s suggestion. He’d not shared his blood with Lelah. None of them had shared blood with any of the infected humans, not even Graham. Draco ran a hand over his face.
“Are you okay?” Lelah asked.
“There’s … a … there is something we haven’t tried yet,” Draco said.
“What is it?” Lelah asked.
“Drinking my blood.”
“Like a vampire?” Lelah frowned.
“Yes, although I’m not a vampire. I’ve got wolf blood and human blood. We don’t know if it will work, but it’s something we have not tried. Our blood and Milton’s experiments caused this. I don’t know if it will work.”
Lelah’s shaking got worse, and he saw it was starting to take hold of her.
“I think it is something we should try.”
“You’ve not told any of your club about me, why?” Lelah asked.
Draco didn’t like her changing the subject. “Because there are some members who may take one look at you and wish to put you out of your misery.”
Her eyes glistened. “It’s that bad?”
Draco thought about the few humans he had seen. Alpha and the guys wouldn’t allow him to be present, due to his issues , but he had snuck out and seen one or two. Draco wouldn’t wish that kind of pain on anyone.
Staring at Lelah, he knew it would be next to impossible to survive it. The transition would kill her dead. And that level of pain … Draco would never get those screams out of his mind.
“You don’t have to say anything, I can see the answer in your eyes,” Lelah said.
“It’s the last resort.”
“And I could still die?” Lelah asked.
Draco nodded as he didn’t want to speak those words aloud.
“Will you promise me something?” Lelah asked.
“What?” He knew he didn’t owe this human anything. He was taking care of her, doing everything he could to make her comfortable.
“If the blood sharing thing doesn’t work, kill me. Please show me mercy, because I don’t want things to get worse, and right now, it’s becoming a little unbearable. I promise you, I am a good person. I’m not mean, I pay my taxes, I help my neighbors. I’m a good person.”
“Stop,” Draco said.
When the time came, he hoped he would be able to share his blood and put her out of her misery.

Rose knew being with her mate would be a whole new experience. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn’t see any discernable changes. Maybe her eyes sparkled a little more. Her lips were certainly swollen from all the kisses, but that was about it. There was nothing else that screamed different, or not a virgin anymore.
Stepping out of the bathroom, she looked toward the bed, and there was Rocco, naked, holding out a hand to her. They had already changed the sheets, had a nice long bath, and he’d taken care of every inch of her body. The first time had been as awful as she’d heard some females complain about.
“Come here,” Rocco said.
She put her hand into his and moved closer. He moved back on the bed, pulling her down so her legs straddled either side of his waist.
Rocco didn’t stop until he was sitting with his back against the headboard. She gave a little chuckle and put her hands on his shoulders. “You’re such a tease,” she said.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
His hands went to her ass.
“I’m feeling good. I don’t know if you know this, but wolves have this awesome ability to heal.”
Even though there had been pain and it had taken her breath away, it hadn’t lasted long. The moment the pain subsided and she was able to feel the whole length of Rocco’s cock within her, it had felt incredible. She didn’t want him to stop.
Like now, she had one taste of him and she wanted another. The full moon was getting close, and they were going to be focused on protecting Graham. She craved her fill of her mate, before chaos began.
“Rose?” he asked.
“Are you telling me you don’t want to?”
“No, I want to.” He took hold of her hand and pressed it to his cock. “Feel that.” He was stiff within her grasp. She squeezed just a little and felt him pulse within her grip. “That is what you do to me, but I don’t want to hurt you.”
This time, she took his hand, putting the flat of his palm against her pussy. Staring into his eyes, Rose didn’t know where she had gotten so bold, but then, covering his hand with her own, she slid one of his fingers between her slit, and then pressed it deep inside her until they were together, knuckle deep within her.
“There’s no pain, Rocco,” she said.
He groaned. “Do you have any idea how fucking sexy that is?”
Rose pulled her finger from her pussy, while Rocco kept his within her, only he added a second finger. He captured her wrist and then drew the finger to his lips, and she watched, mesmerized, as he sucked her arousal right off.
“You taste so good.”
She couldn’t resist kissing him.
Rocco rocked his hand within her, pushing two fingers knuckle-deep within her, then pulling them out to swirl against her clit. He glided it back and forth, making her cry out and whimper his name.
She was getting closer to orgasm, but then, all too soon, he seemed to stop, and both of his hands landed at her hips.
“Put my cock inside you,” he said.
Rose gasped. She reached down between them and held his cock. He helped her get to the right angle, and as she pressed the tip of his cock to her entrance, she began to sink down, inch by inch. They both moaned together, the sound flooding the room, echoing off the walls.
“Fuck, yeah.”
He grabbed her hips, and she moved her hand out of the way as he pulled her onto his cock. It felt so good.
For a second neither of them spoke or moved. She felt each pulse of his cock as her pussy tightened around him. Rocco moved first, caressing over her back, then going to her hips and gripping her neck. She moaned his name as his lips danced across her neck. When he nibbled at her pulse, she closed her eyes, feeling each sensation coursing through her body, sending her higher and higher.
“You feel so good, Rose,” he said. “But, before I let you fuck me, I’m going to feel you come all over my cock.”
She leaned back just enough to give Rocco space to touch her pussy. She closed her eyes as he stroked over her clit. With his cock balls-deep inside her, the feel of his hands on her body was so different than what she expected.
Rose didn’t think it was possible to feel any better, but he sent her spiraling into a whole new world of sensatio n— one she didn’t want to stop.
Within just a few strokes of his fingers, she felt her need climbing. It was like her body didn’t care that she had already experienced an orgasm earlier, it wanted a second. She yelled his name, driving her pussy onto his cock as he brought her to a screaming orgasm. This one seemed to be more powerful than the last. She gave herself over to each sensation, not wanting it to stop.
Rocco took his time, slowing down his strokes so she was able to keep control. Rose needed to fuck him, even with the aftershocks of her orgasm coursing through her body. She didn’t want him to stop, so she gripped his shoulders, and with his help, started to fuck him.
Driving up the length of his cock until only the tip remained, she slammed back down, taking him as deep as she could go. He was so big, it was almost too painful to have him, but on that fine edge of pain and pleasure.
Rocco’s tight grip felt amazing. She loved having his hands on her body. She loved being with him.
“That’s right, baby, fuck my cock. Take it, take it all.”
He must have lost patience, as he suddenly grabbed her, taking her to the bed, and then began to drive inside her, pounding his dick all the way to the hilt.
Rose felt the change in his thrusts and knew it was only a matter of time before he came. This time, as he did, she stared into his eyes, not wanting to look away.
She didn’t know what this meant for them. If tonight was just getting their mating out of the way, or if this meant they were going to be a true mated couple. For now, she didn’t care. Being with him in this moment was enough.
