“Yes, fuck, I’m so sure. I’m—please. I can’t—I was such a perv during your lecture and it’s so distracting. I keep thinking—I’m so fucking horny for you.”

That was a lot to unpack, but I was glad it was focused on me and not just too long of a dry spell.

I dumped her on my bed and studied her. “So you’re like back, right? Or we are?”

Her lust cooled off a bit. “I want to be. I plan—hesitantly.”

“I’ll take hesitantly,” I immediately agreed and climbed on the bed. “I just—I can’t be your one and done again.”

“You’re not,” she promised… But then moved her hand to my chest when I leaned down to kiss her. “But no more ghosting me either, my Alpha. There’s a lot you don’t know, and I need to know you won’t just toss me aside again if you learn something shocking or there’s too much to process.”

But not something bad. She was saying what I needed to hear, but I decided to check.

I leaned in and kissed her forehead. “Not a mass murderer, right?” I bit back a smile when she snorted… And helped her take her top off, which she liked. “Not mated.”

“Idiot,” she grumbled… As we got her out of her pants.

I thought of anything that would be too big of a line for me. “Children?”

“No,” she answered, clearly thinking that was fair. “Never married even by human rules. No children. No in-laws. Just very, very complicated.” She begged me with her eyes to understand.

I gave a half shrug. “You’re already my boss, so nothing could really hit me professionally.” I frowned when her heart beat funny but focused on the kiss she laid on me. Fuck it was good.

And she probably just didn’t like being reminded that I was her subordinate. That was fair.

Especially when it didn’t matter to me.

I was naked now too and rolled us so we were sitting up and she was straddling my lap.

“I promise. I can’t promise not to fuck up, but I promise that, worst case, I may need to walk away but will always walk right back.

No more big spaces or going silent. That was—I won’t ever do that to you again. ”

She let out a shaky breath. “Okay.” There was another one as she fidgeted with her hair. “Yeah, okay, that’s enough.”

I had been listening to her. Really and truly… But then her huge tits practically slapped me in the face when she moved like that and I—my cock ruled me sometimes.

I wasn’t the only git in the world that was true for.

I grabbed her right one and kissed it all over. “Is this mine?” I growled when she didn’t answer, grabbing her other breast as well while I sucked on the right nipple. “Are they mine, Ellie?”

“They mine,” she gasped.

I wanted to roll my eyes. Yes, of course they were and she knew what I meant. She was being intentionally obtuse.

Or maybe I was because I was missing some sort of point, but there wasn’t much blood in my brain at the moment. I bit her nipple harder than I should have and she fucking loved it, moaning and getting wetter to the point some dripped on me.

“Are these mine? ” I growled and switched tits.

She simply moaned. The minx really did push all my buttons.

“Say they’re only mine, Ellie,” I demanded and bit her other nipple. She went wild and my fingers found her dripping cunt… But all I did was tease her. “Say it. Don’t make me punish you.”

She tried to force my hand, so to speak, but I moved my hand completely and swatted her ass before rolling us. I loved on her tits for a few minutes while keeping her hips still and control over her body.

“Are they mine?” I asked as I stared up at her, smirking at her flushed cheeks and glazed-over eyes.

“Yes, my Alpha,” she panted. “My tits. My pussy. All my body is yours. Please, please make me come. I need it so bad. Toys—it’s not the same with toys anymore after being with you and—”

I kissed her to silence her and teased her clit with my fingers. “If you say anything more enticing right now, I could go too far and hurt you. I don’t want to lose control of my strength when I’m this on edge.”

She flipped us and mischief was in her eyes. “Yes, punish me, my Alpha.” She leaned in and kissed my shoulder before moving down my body. “I need to suck you. I need your cock in my mouth and to taste you so—”

“Ellie,” I growled in warning… Even as I tangled my fingers in her hair.

She smirked at me and left love bites on my hips while talking about how much she loved my cock in her in so many ways. The woman was about to experience a whole new way if she didn’t watch it because my wolf wanted to give her something she’d never had.

So it was beyond time to be careful.

I moaned deeply when she took me into her perfect mouth. I only let her bob her head a few times before pulling her off.

She blinked at me after a moment. “What? What’s wrong?”

“Just telling my wolf to stuff it,” I admitted after a moment and cupped her cheek.

She licked her lips and I saw desire in her eyes. “What? Tell me.”

“He’s a jealous ass,” I warned, mentally sighing when she chuckled. “He’s pushing for you to admit some things and spoil us after you were hesitant but didn’t shut down someone circling you when you know it bothers us.”

There, that was a fairly delicate way to phrase what I was feeling.

I wanted to take it all back when she rolled off the bed, but she held up her finger to me. Shit.

You’re such a fucking jealous asshole. Good job.

My wolf basically gave me the proverbial finger and said we should have done it sooner.

Ellie came back in the room with her phone and waved for me to get up. She took a deep breath and then let it out before showing me the passcode to her phone and unlocking it. Then she handed it over with Gerald’s contact pulled up.

“I’m giving you permission to read his messages and emails. We never talk specifics that you can’t see in those. Or I think some in email, but you know what to skip. I hope that gives you the peace of mind to know—”

“I know,” I promised her firmly even as I took the phone. “I know you’re not playing me and this is doubt in yourself or—”

“It was more exhaustion,” she sighed, nodding when I frowned.

“I know I should have handled it sooner. I’ve just been so tired and I didn’t have the energy.

” She rubbed her hands over my chest. “Forgive me? Make the call you need and know it truly was—I’ve been too overloaded. Handle it for me, my Alpha.”

I leaned down and brushed my lips over hers. “Now you’ve done it. I’m going to fuck you way harder than I should so you never forget tonight and all I do to you.”

Something dark twinkled in her eyes. “Yes, my Alpha.” She smirked as she slowly sank to her knees. “Make the call.”

While she blew me. That was the real apology.

Fuck. Me. Dead.

I took the offer. The moment she had my cock in her mouth I tapped her phone, my eyes never leaving hers.

“Hey, Ellie,” Gerald answered almost immediately.

“No, she’s a bit busy at the moment, but she gave me permission to make this call on our behalf,” I told him, my tone amused.

He was quiet a moment. “I want to think you have the integrity, Clark, I really do, but that doesn’t sound like the reserved Ellie I know.”

That was actually fair and Ellie seemed to realize it. She seemed to swallow her nerves down and gave a nod.

“Fair. She can tell you herself then,” I said before bringing the phone down to where she was.

She naughtily slurped off my cock so he could hear. “I gave permission. I thought I already made my position clear, but since you keep not respecting that I’m in a relationship, I gave my Alpha permission to handle it.” Her eyes flashed shock when he growled.

But she went right back to sucking which was such a fucking turn-on that I didn’t even realize I was leaving the phone there to catch more. Not until I heard a full snarl like he was having a hard time controlling himself.

“Sorry, mate, lost me head for a moment,” I admitted when the phone was back to my ear. “I think the point has been made unless you’re daft.”

“Not the point you were trying to make probably, mate ,” he argued, his tone cold and deadly.

Oh, he wanted to play? Fine, Ellie and I loved to play. I smirked down at her. “If I wanted to fuck you while he listened, would you let me?”

Her eyes flashed shock, but then she pulled off my cock. “Yes, my Alpha.”

“If I want to fuck you in front of him, would you let me?”

“Yes, my Alpha,” she whispered, swallowing loudly.

“Will you let me do things to you tonight you’ve never done before?”

“Yes, my Alpha.”

“I get it,” Gerald snapped. “She’s more submissive than I thought and—”

I laughed, shaking my head at what a duffer he was.

“No, you missed the point completely. She’s agreeing not because she wants to do any of that but because she trusts me that I would never make her do any of them.

I would never demean her or reduce her to just sex because you’re pushing my buttons and disrespecting our relationship. ”

“I know that, my Alpha,” she promised. “But I’d still do it if it was what you needed.”

Her saying that while stroking me just about set me off. “Get on the bed and I am going to do something new to you and I promise you’ll fucking love it.”

She nodded and stood with my help before walking over to the bed and sitting down.

“Stop pursuing my lover,” I told Gerald. “She doesn’t need that kind of shit when she’s overloaded and has already made it clear she’s not open to it from you.”

“She didn’t and—”

“Bullshit,” I growled. “She declared our relationship—allowed it to happen knowing she’d have to declare it. And I know she’s defended me to you. Enough. Leave her be or deal with it that she’s given me permission to stop being passive about it and the mess you’ll have.”

“Understood,” he bit out before hanging up.

For the moment. I didn’t see Gerald Woods as the type of man to piss off after one warning even if it was a big one. He seemed too stuck up for that.

I tossed her phone onto the overstuffed chair and went over to her, making it clear what I wanted without asking.

She gave it to me. She swallowed me down to the point she was practically choking herself and I fucking loved every minute, finishing down her throat.

I loved watching her gasp for air and being so affected after—so full of lust and wanting more of me.

She was fucking dripping and begging me to do everything I wanted to her.

So I did.

Multiple times.
