Story: Unrequited Mate

A tortured moan passed his lips. “Damn, squeeze me again.”

She grasped his ass once more.

“No, baby.” He leaned in and whispered with a growl. “Your pussy. I want your sweet-as-sin pussy to clench on me.”

She gasped. “Really?”

“Yes.”

She flexed around him, and another tormented groan filled his chest. His pace faltered before he regained his rhythm, slamming into her over and over again. Her world spun out of control. Her hips moved counterpoint to his, creating a delicious friction between them. She clung to him, clawing at his back for purchase. He took her higher, made her feel things she’d only dreamed about.

“Nico,” she mewled.

“Fuck yes, little wolf. I can feel it, can you?” He wrapped her legs around his waist and dipped his chin to take one of her nipples into his mouth. Nico nipped at the tight bead then licked away the sting. Each bite sent another bolt of lust through her. “Yeah, you do.”

“It feels like I have a bomb inside me waiting to go off.” She thrashed, trying to assimilate the sensations assaulting her body. “Help me.”

“Like this?” His thumb pressed on her clit, working it in small tight circles.

She screamed, seeing stars as he continued to play with her. "Oh, God." Her body jerked. Intense pleasure shot through her. Her heart thundered. She feared she'd die due to the current of bliss racing through her veins. There's no way she'd survive this. No way she'd go back to avoiding him as she’d thought she’d be able to. No, she wanted to feel this way all the time. The knowledge she’d be his completely after their night together detonated the ball of desire inside her. Her pussy rippled. The first wave of her release washed over her, taking away her ability to breathe. Brilliant flashes of white light filled her vision, and, in the distance, she heard a howl.

His teeth pierced her flesh, and she came again. Her body shook through the force of her climax. Her muscles went lax, and, for a minute, it was as if she floated on a cloud of nothing. Then she felt it. For the first time, she experienced the knot. Nico swelled within her, lodging himself deep within her snug pussy while he throbbed through his release. Wonderment filled her. She was with her mate, finally, and she didn't want to let him go.

“Wow,” she whispered.

“Wow is right.” His warm breath brushed against her neck. “You’re mine. Don’t you ever forget it.”

“You’re mine. Don’t you forget it.” She poked him in the chest and giggled.

“Never, little wolf. Never.”

As the morningsun peeked through the blinds in Hayden’s bedroom, Nico kissed and nibbled at her neck, paying particular attention to her mating mark—the one he placed there the night before. She moaned in protest, swatting Nico’s shoulder before she snuggled back into his body.

If he’d been a gentleman, he would leave her alone. Let her get some much-needed rest—considering they’d only fallen asleep a few short hours ago. But he wasn’t a gentleman. He was a wolf who needed his mate. Badly. Once he’d gotten a taste of her again, he craved her. In the wee hours of the morning, she’d finally succumbed to sleep, his knot lodged within her. Fuck, just thinking about the fact he’d been able to do the one thing he’d wanted to all those years ago, had his dick leaking precum.

He placed warm, soft kisses along her shoulder to her collarbone and the tops of her breasts, while his hard dick brushed up against her belly. He bit back a moan as her pink nipples puckered under his perusal. His little responsive mate. Glancing up at her peaceful features, he stared at her in wonderment. She was his. All fucking his. Her sleepy blue eyes fluttered then opened fully, watching him intently.

Thank fuck she’s awake.

“Morning, little wolf,” he whispered across her skin as his lips wrapped around the tight bud of her nipple. The taste of cotton candy exploded on his taste buds as he sucked on it.

“Morning, mate.” Her fingernails scraped at his scalp, turning him on even more.

Letting go with an audible pop, he worked his way over to her other breast. “I’m hungry.” He smiled at her. “So, I thought I’d have some breakfast in bed.” He licked her nipple then drew it into his mouth.

“Now I’m a meal?” Her husky voice penetrated his senses as she fisted his hair, holding him to her breast.

“You are this morning, baby.” He nipped at her flesh. “I’m your big bad wolf, and you’re my Red Riding Hood. I’m gonna eat you all up.” His dick kicked, throbbing with need as she giggled. Nico let his hand travel down her belly to the top of her mound where he caressed her slit. “You sore?” Although he wanted her again, he’d wait to see if she was in any discomfort.

“No,” she murmured.

He slipped his fingers between the lips of her pussy as he sought out her clit. “I ache.”

“So do I, baby. So do I.” He groaned then dropped his head to rest on her chest as her pussy clenched around the invading appendage.

“Please,” she panted, rolling her hips. He inserted a second while his thumb rubbed slowly across her pulsing clit. “More please!” she begged.
