Story: Unrequited Mate

Why did his words affect her so much? She should have told him to get bent or deny what he'd said, instead, she nodded her head. She'd do whatever he told her to do if only to feel this euphoria again. "Yes. Please, Nico."

“As you wish, little wolf.”

He set their pace. She expected a hard, fast, frantic rhythm. Yet, for as much as he said he was holding on by a thread, he took his time. He touched her. Licked her. They kissed. His mouth touching hers sent sparks of bliss across her skin. She swore he mimicked the way he filled her with each kiss, adding to the bubble surrounding them.

I’m having sex with Nico...The awareness of the situation startled her, leaving her in awe of what was going on. This wasn’t a dream. Or her imagination. “This is really happening.”

He groaned. “Yeah, it is.”

“We’re having sex.” She trembled in his arms.

“Yes, we are.” He gave her an amused look. “Are you okay?”

“More than.” She kissed him again, trying to quicken his pace. Their tongues tangled and their breaths mingled. This, this was what she needed. “I want to try to—you know.”

“Orgasm?” He cocked a brow.

She nodded.

He brushed his lips across the shell of her ear. “Say it, Hayden. Say make come, Nico.”

She shuddered at the delicious tone of his voice. “Make me come, Nico.”

“Get off on my dick, little wolf. Make me creamy.” He changed the angle of his thrusts then added his thumb to her clit once more. Between the two sensations, she tensed in his arms. The groan he let loose with as he buried his face between her breasts, only spurred on the knot coiling within her.

The harder he worked her, the more she cried out. It was too much. She didn't know what she was trying to grasp for or how to hang on, but the minute she stopped trying was the minute the rush of adrenaline returned, and she was floating. A tingle took root in her lower belly then spread outward becoming a quiver of pleasure so intense it frightened her, but didn’t stop her from experiencing what came next. She cried out shaking and bucking in Nico’s arms. The prick of something at her right breast drew her attention for a split second before he began to manipulate her clit and she was tumbling end over end in the warmth of her release.

Below her, Nico became more frantic. His soft growls and moans were erotic and singed her senses. He was every bit the dominant wolf she knew he would be and when he growled loud and hard then howled, she felt it. The wet heat of his climax filled her. He held her flush to his lap while he continued to throb within her. His gaze locked with hers, proving his point as they came down together.

She was his.

Only his.

When he began to rock her over him again, she gave him a curious look. “Not finished yet. I’ve been waiting since the day I met you to do this. I’m going to get my fill of your perfect little body.” He kissed her once more as they moved slowly. Hayden continued to shake in his arms. Though some of the achiness had receded, she wanted more too. She didn’t want to stop just yet. Ending whatever was building between them meant going back to the real world, and she wasn’t ready. “I warned you, Hayden. I told you what would happen if I got deep inside you. Don’t make me regret this.”

Never. She’d never regret any of this. “Keep going.” She tangled her arms around his neck and Nico stood, changing their position. He flipped her over, taking her from behind like their wolves. Sparks of bliss skated through her. She cried out, gripping his thigh and couch for purchase.

“Fuck yes, little wolf. You’re mine. All fucking mine.” He nuzzled her neck and hissed. “When you’re completely ready, I’ll bite you here.” He licked her neck and moaned. “Then everyone will know you belong to me.”

“Yes.” She couldn’t wait.

Hayden didn’t know how much time passed before she was able to get up and grab a shower. Nico was passed out in his bed, where she’d also been laying. She got up and the first trickle of something being wrong, smacked her in the chest. She hurried to the bathroom, not wanting him to fret over her.Damn it, why now? Why here?When she wiped herself, she knew instinctually before even looking down what happened.

The symptoms all made sense. The pains. The feeling of burning up while also being cold. The bone-deep ache she never really could get rid of whenever her cycle decided to show up. She knew there would be some blood involved with her first time, but this was different. She understood what was happening to her. Thankfully, everyone, from her parents to her aunts and uncles kept what she needed at their places, including Nico.

When she was finished, she turned on the shower to get cleaned up. She realized she’d have to go home soon, and she couldn’t go smelling like Nico or like sex, though the first one, was a given, even if removing his scent repulsed her. Hayden stepped under the warm spray and whimpered. The warm water eased some of the body pains she’d had since being kidnapped.

“Hey,” Nico said joining her. “Are you okay?” His arms banded around her. “There’s blood and I—”

“I started my period.”

He spun her around, pressing her back to the cool tile in the shower. “So you are in heat.” His nostrils flared. His eyes blazed with arousal and fear. “I fucked you raw, Hayden. Tell me the truth.”

She shook her head. "No, Nico. I don't know what heat feels like. I told you, my cycle isn't bound by the full moon yet. My menstrual cycles are like a human's. Not like my wolf counterpart." Fear gripped her by the throat as she stared at him. "You're scaring me."

“Fuck.” Nico let her go. “Baby, I fucked you raw. Do you understand what that means?”

She scrubbed her face trying to get her erratic emotions in check. “Yes.” There were always chances of unwanted pregnancy. However, she knew wolf genetics more than human by now, and if she wasn’t in heat, she wouldn’t get pregnant. Period. “I’m not in heat, Nico. You’d have smelled it. I would have too. This is just the way I am.”
