Beaufort Creek Shifters (10 book series)
The Wolf’s Forced Mate Chapter 9

Tanner

Leah was a puddle in my arms.

Her lips quivered while her fingers traced the back of my neck. She squeezed my shoulders. She pressed her hips toward me. She begged with her body for all the things she wanted me to do. And I couldn't stop myself from doing them.

I had her on my bed in a split second with my lips buried in her neck. Those buttons were easy to find Her body was like an ancient map that led me directly to the places I knew would set her on fire. Under her earlobe, down her neck, and between her breasts-it did the trick.

And then some.

She shucked her jeans and yanked at my shirt. I tore off her tank top and worked at my jeans next, fumbling with the belt. When she rose to help, our heads knocked together, sending us chuckling into a heap on the bed.

Despite the ache in my skull, my desire remained the same. My c**k throbbed as she plucked it from my jeans, eagerly wrapping her lips around the head. That was something that hadn't changed-her eagerness. "Fuck," I groaned. My head flopped back. "Damn it, princess. That mouth..."

She slurped me into her mouth with a groan. Electric pulses danced through my body as she bobbed on my c**k, saliva dribbling down my shaft with every rise. My fingers curled into her hair and my hips rose to meet her urgent lips.

That hot mouth could have sent me to heaven, but I didn't want to waste a second of our time. I plucked her from my c**k, delighting at the sound of her desperate whine. Grinning deviously, I held my c**k steady and waved it near her lips, the tip barely brushing her mouth.

"You want this?" I teased. "Then you'll have to work for it, princess."

She babbled incoherently while struggling to get back to my c**k.

She was committed. I had to give her that. In the past, she'd never shown this much enthusiasm. But then again, we hadn't spent much time apart in the past.

Four years later, we were making up for the lost time.

And I had plenty to make up for.

Fluid slicked my shaft. My eyes nearly disappeared as the tip of her tongue circled the head of my coc

But we had made a deal. She had to work for it.

I tugged her hair firmly. "I said, you have to work for it."

her get away with it for a second if only for the simple fact that it felt and looked ridiculously hot.

She mewled when I slid my thumb into her mouth. Her eyelids fluttered as I guided her back, the tension growing in my balls as I denied my nut. My other hand slid between her breasts and grazed her stomach before coming to rest at her slit. One finger laced between her folds, a slow stroke that forced her mouth into a perfectly circular shape.

"Your task is simple," I whispered gruffly. "You can't get off. And if you survive, you can s**k me dry."

The sight of betrayal in her eyes was priceless. Her lip shuddered while she protested. Her protest was more by way of indignant sounds than it was phrased. That was how Leah got when she was turned on. Her animal took over. A sort of sync erupted between us with sounds as our guide.

But this was different, her body was responding to me in ways it hadn't four years ago. And I was too eager to discover what else it could say.

My finger teased her entrance. "Don't come. Understand, princess?"

She whimpered as her lips closed around my thumb again.

"Nod if you understand."

Her head bobbed affirmatively. That permission was all I needed to plunge inside her. A haunting look crossed her features, a realization that she likely didn't have as much control as she thought. It made a dark chuckle rumble through my chest. She wouldn't survive. Not for a second longer.

My finger dove deeper, my thumb joining her clit to trade the plump bud with her fluid. Enough of it coated my fingers already to slick my entry and it did nothing to slow my progress. Each dive worked its way up her body in waves, causing her hips to roll harder every time.

Small moans vibrated my thumb in her mouth. Warm saliva built up around the digit as I stroked faster, watching her smooth bucks shift into uncontrollable jerks. It was difficult to say whether either of us would survive with the way things were going. Her response alone was arousing, a loving symphony of flavors that tickled my senses.

Pheromones coated the air I breathed. The very molecules bouncing between our bodies were stained with our desire for each other-and I had only just begun. What would happen when I finally buried my c**k into her p***y for the first time in our lives? Maybe I wouldn't survive that.

But I knew how to find out.

Round breasts jostled with each gasping breath she took. Her mouth widened again, welcoming my thumb deeper into her mouth.

A smile cut over my lips. "You want me that badly, don't you, princess?"

Her mewling reply had my head spinning.

"Good girl. Just another minute," I assured. "You're doing so well."

She shivered when I slipped another finger inside. Arousal sloshed around my fingers as my pace quickened, my cock aching to be the one pounding between her thighs. Just when I thought she might burst, I yanked my fingers back, practically laughing when she shot up from the bed with a betrayed whine. "I told you not to come," I reminded her as I raised my fingers to her lips. "Now, lick them clean and get to work."

Without hesitation, she slurped my fingers into her mouth. She gripped my cock, eagerly pumping my throbbing shaft to a point of no return. As soon as she sucked my fingers clean, she dropped to my c**k, using her fluid to coat me entirely.

Control went right out the window. That warm mouth had me thrusting like it was the end of days, heated desire burning me from the inside out. Her gorgeous bottom invited my touch and her hair begged for me to hold it out of her face. All of her was beautiful. All of her was mine.

My canines dropped as I watched her work. I had spent years wondering if she would ever be back in my bed. That schooner housed enough fantasies to blow even the best made porno right out of the water. Her mouth was incredible, sure, but it was her fire, her passion that turned me on.

I pulled her back gently. "Princess, lay down."

"But I-"

I gripped her chin firmly. "Don't make me say it again, Leah."

A whimpering protest rose as she did what she was told. She spread her thighs and welcomed me, her hands swarming my bottom to keep me in place. My c**k nestled naturally into her slit. When I twitched, she twitched. It was a game of teasing, one that made us lock eyes and resist movement.

She mewled and dug her fingers into my ass. "Tanner..."

"Put me inside you."

Her eyes went wide. She slowly reached between us and slid the head of my c**k to her entrance, shuddering breaths steaming the air between us. As soon as I was lined up, I propped myself on my hands, peering down at her through the fog of our lust. "This was all I wanted back then." She nipped her lower lip bashfully and urged me inside her. One inch swallowed my cock. "And now that I have it, I'm not letting it go."

The plunge shocked us both. We froze together, suspended in time by the very action that might have saved us if we had just given it a shot.

I'd been stupid. I'd been selfish. I'd done everything for me instead of for us.

But now, I knew better. And I would do everything in my power to make sure I did better.

"For us," I whispered as I drew back. "I'm doing this for us, princess."

She cried out when I returned, arching to meet my fervent thrusts. Our movements became frenzied blurs that made me tingle all over, a wave of sensations taking over all at once. Her thighs conformed to my hips. Her breasts plumped on my chest. Her lips danced over my mouth.

Our bodies jolted simultaneously. Heat burst through my body in long eruptions that made me thrust frantically. She squeaked with each welcoming buck as she clung to me. My name fluttered from her lips between sharp inhalations as she wiggled beneath me. And just as quickly as it started, it stopped.

I collapsed on top of her, post-nut clarity slicing right through my mind. My cock was still inside her. I was still hard despite dumping a massive load inside her. While her silky pussy quivered around my shaft, I managed to raise myself up and kiss her. And kiss her. And kiss her until my mouth ached.

I drifted back enough to speak. "Fuck it."

"You just did."

I snickered. "Leah, I mean the bite. Fuck it. Let's do the bite right now while I'm inside you."

She moaned softly while locating my main artery. I lined up my canines with that bulging vein in her neck and struck liquid gold, metallic heat coating my tongue and slithering down my throat to a rhythmic beat.

Thump, thump, thump.

The sound of our hearts synchronized. Once the bite was completed, we both collapsed, bodies yearning despite exhaustion to repeat what we had done as many times as possible. I knew that was how she felt. She wouldn't still be wrapped around my c**k if she didn't.

"Unbelievable," she gasped. "Unreal. How have I missed that this whole time?"

"Well, you were with a deadbeat. He probably never got you off."

She sat up and pierced me with a harsh glare. For a split second, I thought I'd ruined the moment. Blood stained her lip, enticing my thumb to sweep it away. She allowed it.

But I knew she was mad. She was about to chew my head off. Old Leah was coming right back just as I thought she would.

Until she smiled. "You're right. He didn't. I would fake it."

Laughter cut through the air. I pulled out of her, loving how she soaked me when I rolled to my back and took her with me. She arched over my c**k and ran her fingers down my face.

"I missed you," she admitted. "I missed having this."

"Weren't you ever happy with Edward?"

Nope, bad question. Shouldn't have asked. Her expression practically died on her face. But through the fog of her afterglow, she managed to regain her footing and gave me a small grin. "Once, yeah." "Until he left."

"I think it stopped even before he left. I was just lying to myself."

I looked away. "I'm sorry I asked."

"Tanner, I want you to ask the hard questions, okay?" She turned my gaze to her. "I want you to know things. I'm not planning on hiding anything, okay?"

"Okay."

She nodded. "Okay then."

I raised my eyebrows. "Alright."

"Great."

I smirked as I sat up, wrapping my arms around her waist. "Since that's settled, we have another four hours to ourselves."

"What are you thinking about doing?"

"I'm thinking about how you might look on your hands and knees."

She blushed as her chest swelled with a sharp breath. God, she was hot when she was aroused. Did she know that?

After a second, she nuzzled my lips and whispered, "But first, I want to ride you."

Morning came faster than I had hoped. Having Leah in my arms all night had put me in an excellent mood, however ravenous I had become in the few hours we had taken to sleep. By the time we got on the road to walk to my mother's house, our feet were in sync and our fingers were tightly wound together.

People milled on their porches with coffee. Each one waved at us with a knowing grin. Our bites were pretty obvious. Everyone knew what had happened last night.

If not for the marks, then for how loud we were fucking.

My bed nearly went through the ground after the third round. Leah had been almost insatiable, taking me in every position we could have possibly done. We even came up with a few on our own. That room and that mattress would never be the same now that we had marked it up with our passion.

The early morning sun illuminated my mother's porch. Mom was already in one of the rocking chairs with a steaming cup of tea next to her and enough books to start her own library. It might even rival the one that Blake had in his mansion.

"Morning," I greeted while hopping up the steps. I kissed my mother's cheek. "How was she? Okay? Bad? Good?"

Mom squinted at me and then smiled at Leah. "Good."

"That's a relief." I scooped Inez into my arms. "We always want you to be good!"

Mom coughed and then pointed to her neck. "I mean, good. You finally got it done."

Leah coughed nervously while I sighed. "Mom, don't be weird."

"It's not weird to know what happened. We've all done it."

"That is not the image I wanted in my head first thing in the morning."

She waved nonchalantly. "That's fine. You can always put another image in your head when the pup goes down for her nap."

This time, Leah was the one to laugh.

And while it irked me that my mother was being weird, it made me happy to hear Leah giggle. That was a sound I always wanted near me. That was something that needed to fill up my home.

I cleared my throat. "Well, we'll get out of your hair and-"

"No, stay for breakfast." She stood up and took Leah's hand. "He's so grumpy when he hasn't had food, right?"

Leah snorted. "No kidding."

Mom leaned close to Leah and whispered something. Well, that was suspicious. They had never gotten along once in their lives.

But instead of being totally annoyed, I actually felt warm all over. Like I was a candle finally being lit and allowed to burn properly.

And maybe that was how my family was supposed to feel. Perhaps it was something I could discover for myself if I just let it warm me up instead of melting me.

There was one way I could find out.
