KELLY

I placed my hands over his, moaning as I traced my fingers over his knuckles. If I didn’t take control soon, I’d melt into his touch like butter. And I wanted to explore his body more now that we weren’t under scientist supervision. My gaze dipped to where his dick strained against his boxers. Leaning closer, I nipped at his collarbone, then kissed a trail down to flick my tongue over each of his nipples.

His grip tightened on my breasts, and a low growl rumbled beneath my lips.

The vibrations felt funky on my lips, and I giggled. I glanced up at him to see a dark intensity in his now wolfish eyes, even as my kisses and licks continued down his chest. My fingers grazed the hem of his boxers, and I sank to my knees.

“Babe…” His chest heaved with effort while his hands hung limply at his sides. “You have no idea what you’re doing to me. How you’re making me feel.”

I trailed my fingertips over Jacob’s underwear along his hard cock, enjoying the way he twitched under my touch. “Mmm… I think I’m making you feel great.” I whispered conspiratorially to Jacob’s bulge. “Isn’t that right?” His dick twitched again, and I bit my lip to keep from laughing.

Jacob let out a shaky breath. “Okay, I think you’re having too much fun down there.” He leaned down and placed his hands on my sides to guide me to my feet. “Come on up, babe.”

But I ducked out of his grip, letting myself drop onto my bum. “Nah uh. Not so fast.” Tasting him was something I needed.

With another sigh, he stood up straight. His hands clenched and unclenched like he wasn’t sure what to do with them, and he shifted his weight a little. He seemed more nervous than me.

My brows knitted together, wondering what was causing this nervousness, but I climbed to my knees once more. I dipped my fingers beneath the hem of his boxers, then slid them off. His long cock bounced free as his underwear hit the rug with a soft thud.

“Kelly…” The way he growled my name sent a shiver up my spine.

My gaze met his, and I leaned closer, my breath ghosting over his length. I curled my fingers around his shaft, marveling at how velvety soft his skin felt. The bead of pre-cum on his tip leaked downward, and I flicked my tongue over him, catching the salty, sweet drop. My hand pumped his dick in slow strokes.

His whole body shuddered, and he carded his hand into my hair. That reaction made me feel powerful, and I wanted to draw out even more of those soft groans. “You’re such a tease, babe.”

I’d never done this before, but seeing him this excited made me want to. “You don’t seem to mind.” I slid my tongue along the underside of his cock and continued over his crown. The scent of his musky arousal filled my nostrils, and I loved it. I drew his tip into my mouth, and his hand tightened on my hair. The tugging sensation turned me on, dampening my thighs. Now I understood why he might’ve enjoyed it so much.

I bobbed my head over him as I continued to stroke the part that didn’t fit. His glowing wolf amber eyes watched me, but he didn’t try to thrust into my mouth. Did he not trust himself? I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. A soft whimper escaped my throat, and the vibration jerked his hips forward. I gagged, then pressed on, taking more of his dick between my lips. As I withdrew, my tongue danced along the underside of him, and I hollowed my cheeks to increase the suction on his tip.

“Fuck. If you don’t stop, I’m going to come.”

His cock left my mouth with a soft pop . My lips curved in a wicked grin. “Challenge accepted.”

Jacob’s eyes widened, and he gripped my hair with both hands, as if trying to hold me back. “Wait, that wasn’t?—”

I took him back into my mouth, sucking and stroking my hand over his shaft. My other hand moved from his hip to caress his balls. His breath hitched, and I wondered if I’d hurt him. But he tossed his head back and closed his eyes, as if enjoying it. The way his cock twitched and his grip tightened led me to believe he was nearing release.

“Stop, I’m close.” He glanced down at me, seeing the mirth in my gaze, and rolled his eyes. “Babe… I’ll take control if you?—”

My tongue flicked over his tip again, drawing out another low groan. One moment, I was on my knees in front of him, and the next, I was being hauled to my feet by my upper arm. The sudden movement caught me off-guard, and a surprised yelp erupted from my throat. I stumbled into Jacob’s chest, my palms landing on his pecs.

His hands steadied me, but soon they moved over my body. They felt like heaven on my skin. He trailed one hand down my torso toward the shorts I wore, and I bit my lip in anticipation, more than ready for them to be gone. Instead, his long fingers dipped beneath the hem of my shorts, caressing me through my panties.

I let out a frustrated moan and tilted my hips against his fingers, trying to gain more friction. “Come on. Please.”

Jacob’s grin was wolfish, but I wasn’t afraid. He wouldn’t hurt me. Something he’d more than proven. He withdrew his fingers, then unfastened the button of my denim shorts before removing them and my panties. His gaze dropped to drink me in. The slightest bit of nervousness gnawed at me with being so exposed before him, but that feeling was short-lived as his mouth connected with mine.

I had the faintest notion of him walking me backward until a hard surface bumped my ass. He leaned forward, and the clattering of items falling to the floor startled me. He laid me on his desk. When we broke apart, my gaze drifted to the floor. An assortment of pens, paper, and a few electronics littered the floor. “What a mess.”

“That’s not the only mess I plan on making.” His hands gripped my thighs, spreading them open for him. He slipped his finger into me, and my hips lifted a little. “So wet and receptive. You enjoyed sucking me, didn’t you?”

“Mhm…” I bit my lower lip as a moan rumbled in my throat. My breath hitched as he dipped his head. I gripped the edge of his desk, aching to feel his mouth on me. When he circled his tongue over my clit, I arched my back, unable to stop myself. “Jacob, oh… Mmm. That feels so good.”

The slow, delicious rhythm he used made me wish his cock was there and not just his finger, and when he crooked his finger, finding that special spot inside me, I grabbed his hair. Desire grew within me, and my breath came out quicker. Having his mouth on me was amazing, but I wanted more. When he added a second finger, the slow stretch took my breath away.

“Jacob, I need you.” I wanted our bodies to be connected and moving together, to share pleasure with one another. My fingers tightened in his hair, and I gave it a gentle tug.

His low, rumbling growl sent a shiver chasing up my spine, and he flashed those wolf amber eyes my way. Those long fingers rocked into me harder and faster, bumping that sensitive spot that made my toes curl with pleasure. Almost reluctantly, he swiped his tongue over me a few more times before kissing his way up my torso.

I spread my legs wider in anticipation. My core ached to have him fill me. I loosened my grip on his hair a little as he nipped a path up my chest toward my mouth. He pressed a gentle kiss against my lips, and I tasted myself on his tongue. My teeth bit into his lower lip before I explored his mouth.

The tip of his cock pressed against my entrance, and I arched my hips against him. I wanted this so much. His tongue swept over mine, deepening the kiss, as he slid inside of me, joining our bodies together inch by delicious inch.

“Are you okay?” he murmured against my mouth.

“Better than okay.” I brushed my lips over his. “Are you?”

“Of course I am. I’m with you.” He pressed his forehead against mine, easing himself the rest of the way inside of me. He exhibited an almost absurd amount of care. I was a werewolf, too, not a human anymore. The chances of him hurting me were slim.

The laboratory had shown me how much hardier I was now. My healing speed was faster, and I was so much stronger.

Still, Jacob treated me with the utmost care, like I was fragile. He truly cared. That meant so much to me. Although, now wasn’t the best time for him to show that tenderness when I craved him. I could handle him. We’d proven that before.

When fully seated, he remained still as he nuzzled my neck. I squirmed against him, wanting to feel him move. He withdrew until he was almost all the way out before thrusting back inside. The slow strokes were almost torturous, but they felt so good.

I moaned as I lifted my hips, pushing back against him. My hands moved from his hair to his shoulders. I bit my nails into his skin, and something sparked within him because the leisurely pace picked up. The harder I dug my nails in, the quicker he thrusted.

I eased up a little, not wanting to hurt him again. But the way he made me feel was incredible. His hips continued rocking at a steady pace, shaking the sturdy desk beneath me. My moans filled the study along with the rattling of items in the desk’s drawers and our skin slapping together.

“Jacob!”

More kisses caressed my neck, but the moment I said his name, he lifted his head to stare at me with that wolfish gaze. A smirk crept across his lips, and he brushed his knuckles across my cheek. “Your eyes are beautiful that color.”

His words startled me. What did he mean? My eyes have always been brown… But then I realized that my vision was crisp, sharp… and different. The golden specks in his irises were more vivid than before. Instantly, I recognized it as my wolf, and a rumbling purr built in my chest. I wrapped my legs around his waist, holding him close.

“You’re beautiful,” I murmured. My voice came out husky with desire. “Handsome.”

His pace picked up. He covered my mouth with his kisses, and I closed my eyes, meeting each thrust with my own. The intensity of this moment had me melting in his arms.

My core tightened around him, the ache inside me desperate and hungry. Our kiss intensified, and I clawed at his back, feeling like the world was shifting on its axis. Bliss swept through me like a tidal wave, dragging me under, making me cling to the only real person in my world right then. Jacob.

Moans erupted from my throat, but Jacob’s mouth muffled them. The hard thrusts didn’t cease. Instead, he rolled his hips, working me through the first orgasm, only to launch me into blissful heights a second time. Sometimes, it felt like this man knew my body better than I did.

Jacob’s low groans caused my inner walls to flutter, and the firm muscles of his back bunched under my hold. His thrusts became jerkier and less controlled until he spilled his seed inside me. We laid there panting for a few moments, not wanting to move.

“I’m glad you have a comfortable bed,” I said. “After we’re done shifting, I might need a nap. That was so good. I’m not looking forward to walking through the woods soon.” It was true. If I had it my way, we’d cuddle until our stomachs demanded food.

“Hmm… Maybe that’s what I’m going for, babe. Keeping you captive in my bed. Once we’ve shifted, I’ll make love to you as much as I can.” He chuckled, but it sounded tired. “Granted, if I did that, I might not be able to walk either. We might find ourselves stuck in bed, having to starve together.” He eased out of me. “At least we’re warmed up.”

The wicked twinkle in his eyes stirred more desire between my legs. A desire that only subsided a little. My body still craved his touch. But how much of what I felt was the full moon’s power, and how much was the sheer volume of my lust for him?

Did that matter?

No. I knew how I felt about him. I needed to trust this special relationship we had, and that meant I had to tell him about my meeting with the university…

But I couldn’t do that yet and ruin this amazing evening.

* * *

M y body still ached from our lovemaking as the full moon lit our way through the forest behind Jacob’s condo. The chilly night air caressed my skin, raising goosebumps. Something about being so close to all the people living in his gated community made me nervous. “You’re sure this is safe? No one will stumble upon two wolves here?”

He shook his head. “I wouldn’t put you in harm’s way, babe.” His nostrils flared, as if making sure no one was nearby. “This is a nature preserve, and this section doesn’t have hiking trails. I’ll keep an eye out for danger.” He wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me close. “You should’ve brought a jacket. You’re cold.”

“But I’ll have a coat pretty soon, right?” A smirk tugged at my lips, and I rose onto my tiptoes to press a kiss to his lips. “Maybe we could race? I hear a stream not too far away.”

“A race?” His eyebrow lifted. “That sounds like fun. Perhaps I should be a gentleman and give you a head start.” He ripped his shirt over his head and tossed it onto a boulder, then his hands went to his shorts. They joined the shirt, and apparently, he hadn’t put his boxers back on. He must have forgotten them in his study. His cock thickened under my gaze, and I licked my lips, heat pooling low in my belly as I remembered the way he’d tasted. “Going to keep ogling me, or are we racing soon?”

My gaze jumped to his face, and heat spread up my chest to my cheeks. “Oh, right.” I turned around and stripped out of my tank top, panties, and shorts, putting them with Jacob’s clothes. For some reason, I felt awkward being naked in front of him now. Perhaps the lack of imminent intimacy was the cause. This was more utilitarian, for shifting… Something I wasn’t eager to do. “So, I guess this is it.” I turned to face him, my nails biting into my palms.

Don’t freak out. You’ve got this.

But the pep talk didn’t help one bit. My fingers curled tighter.

“Babe, how are you so self-conscious after we made love earlier?” He crossed the space between us, then pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Is it the shifting?”

“Yeah, I’m… worried.”

He took my hands in his. “You’re going to do great. I’m here with you.” We knelt together with him guiding my hands to the ground. “Remember last time? Surrounded by concrete walls and iron bars? It’ll be easier this time with us in nature. Feel the dirt beneath your fingers and let the wolf come forward.”

I ground my teeth, digging my fingers into the dead leaves and dirt. My wolf lingered just out of reach, like a barrier held her back. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to share my body with her, but a foreboding sensation pressed inward, stealing my strength. My heartbeat pounded, fast and uneven.

Just do it!

Something skittered across my calf. I barely swallowed a yelp, my heart skipping a beat. Fuck this. While I wasn’t a complete city girl, I didn’t like the idea of creepy crawlies climbing on me.

Focus.

But I couldn’t. My ears pricked at the sound of owls hooting deeper in the forest, the distant footsteps of something—maybe a deer—just out of sight. No, no, no…

“I can’t do this. Sorry.” I started to stand, but Jacob held me in place.

“What’s wrong? I can help you.”
