Werewolf Romance Rough Sex Erotica: Make Her Howl (2 page)

He held up a hand, his gaze focused on the pizza
. “Hold on. Cal might not be able to, but I could.
Maybe.
”

I raised my eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

“
My pack has a hist
ory of helping nulls and well--
” He squared his shoulders and sat a little straighter. “I’m an alpha.”

I rolled my eyes. “Sure you are.” Every mal
e wolf thought he was an
alpha, which
was one of the things that made them so annoying.
As much as I’d wanted to belong, being spared the endless posturing and strutting of a male wolf in lust was one thing that went in the plus column.

He looked puzzled. “No, I’m really an alpha. Why do you think Cal asked me to come to Huntsville?”

Crossing my arms, I said, “Why
did
he ask you here? Was he aware that you would leave no woman untouched?”

Jackson winced. “Come on, that’s not fair. Listen, you guys don’t have an alpha here. There’s no one to come up after Cal.”

That made my ears perk up. Pack succession was a primary concern among wolves
and I’d had no idea Huntsville
lacked
true alpha material
.
Of course being a null, I was banned from the pack clearing and thus had no way to know.
“Is Cal sick?” My stomach sank to think of a world without him. He’d been as kind as a father to me many a time.

“No, but he’s planning for the future.” He eyed the pizza box and I moved it closer to me, pushing down on the lid again
for emphasis
.
Mine.

“You’re the future of the Huntsville pack?” I stifled a laugh.
God help us
.
Them
, I correc
ted.
Considering that Jackson wo
uld someday lead made my situation slightly
more palatable.
A gigolo was not my idea of prime leadership material.

“Why is that funny?” He looked perplexed.

“Never
mind. So tell me, how exactly can you make me a wolf?”
I couldn’t wait to hear what Pack Master Gigolo would say next.

He cleared his throat and rubbed
his hands on his pants, gaze roaming the room and looking
everywhere but at me. Nervous was a new look
for him, usually he brimmed
with
brash
confidence.
  “We have to sleep together.” The words came out fast in a jumble, but my mind quickly interpreted the message.

I jumped out of my chair, hand over my mouth and backed away from him. “Holy shit. You have
got
to be fucking kidding me.” I paced the living room and then froze, shooting him a look that could kill. “Wait, this is a joke. You sick fuck.” My hands balled into fists and I stormed over to where he sat.

He stood up and side-stepped me, his arms raised in a placating gesture. “No joke, Chloe.”

“You’ve slept with everyone else. Why not give me a whirl
, huh
? Sleep with the null and see if it’s any different? Am I right?” I was yelling now and stalked him across the room, one hand cocked, fist at the ready.
I wasn’t as strong as a real wolf, but I wasn’t human weak either.
Oh
yeah
,
I could bring the pain.

“
Wait
--” he began, but I lunged for him, my fist aiming for his jaw.

Instead of feeling my bones grinding into his,
I connected with flesh stronger than my own. H
e caught both of my hands and pulled me cl
ose as he pinned them behind my
back. Then his lips crushed mine in a fierce kiss.

I’d never been kissed
.
Nulls can’t be mates so I was out of the dating pool from day one.
The shock of his lips against mine left me motionless for a moment.
A strangled gasp escaped my throat and I wrestled with
his grip, but couldn’t break his hold
.
His mouth was insistent
, plucking at my lower lip, tongue probing. He tasted like pizza and wine and the smell of him filled my senses.

So this is what it’s like to be kissed.

“The thing is Chloe, you smell like wolf to me.” He spoke with his mouth still on mine, his words telegraphing through my body
in little shivers
. “I think she’s in there and just doesn’t know how to come out.”

He nuzzled my neck, nose caressing
me
as he inhaled deeply. I froze under the assault of sensations I didn’t fully understand.
My body
felt like it was the
wrong size, stretched too thin in some places and too slack in others. The smell of fur filled my nose along with hyperawareness of Jackson’s musk. When I blinked, I saw a wolf staring back at me from behind my eyeli
ds. She--instinctively I knew she
was female--was light gray
and her gaze bore into m
ine
. I gasped and my eyes flew open
.

“What is it?” He lifted his head, concerned.

“I don’t know.” I licked my lips. “I think I saw my wolf.”

He gave me a satisfied smile.
“See? I told you.”

I closed my eyes again. She was still there, but pacing now. Something under
my skin
prickled as if she moved through my flesh. “She’s beautiful.”

“You never saw her before?”

I shook my head, keeping my eyes closed.
I’d heard talk
about how
your wolf danced in your mind
.
Wolves appear
right before the first change
,
which
,
for women
,
often coincides with
the
ir
first menstrual cycle.
I’d hit puberty, but my wolf
had was a no-show. N
o
w that she
was
finally
here, I couldn’t stop watching her.

“So now you know I wasn’t joking.”

“
Am I going to change
?” The idea of that took my breath away.
I’d never dared to hope, but now that very emo
tion blossomed
in me like s
pring after a desolate winter.

His body move
d
around me as he shifted his weight. “
It takes more than a kiss to bring out a wolf, Chloe.” His voice was a soft m
urmur on my skin. He kissed
me again, nipping the nape of my neck with his lips.

“How do you know?” I tested his grip again, disappointed to find it as firm as ever. Jackson wasn’t going to let me go any time soon. My wolf gave a low growl, unhappy as I was at being restrained.

“Because my mom said so.” His lips moved to the hollow of my throat and pressed against the pulse that thundered there.

“Did she also tell you to sleep with everything that moved?”

His lips went still. “You sound
upset.”
His inflection implied I shouldn’t be and it rankled.

I huffed, irritated.
“
You’ve been sleeping your way through town. It doesn’t exactly make a girl feel special to be last on the list.”

“You’ve got me
all wrong.”

I opened my eyes for a second to glare at him. “How so?” I closed my eyes again, not wanting to lose sight of my wolf. She sniffed the ground intently, looking for something.

“You were always first on the list.”

My eyes opened wide.
“What?”

His gaze locked with mine and his wolf came through in the yellow gleam of his pupils. “Like I said, you always smelled like wolf to me. The second I met you, I wanted you. I didn’t know you were a null until Cal told me.”

I was silent for a moment. “So then you slept with everyone else instead?”

He sighed. “You have to understand, I’m supposed to find a mate. Preferably sooner than later. Cal wants me settled in.”

I furrowed my brow in confusion.
“Are you like some mail order wolf groom? Cal just sends
out an order and you show up?”

“In a roundabout way. My pack has too many alphas, yours is all betas. Word got out and Cal made me an offer.” He shrugged. “So here I am. Ta-dah. The alpha on order.”

His tone was so light and self-effacing that I couldn’t hold back a giggle. My wolf’s ears perked up at the sound and she cocked her head, listening.

“So are we going to do this, Chloe? Are you going to let me bring your wolf?”
His
soft, low voice
made me weak in the knees.

I didn’t hesit
ate, not with everything I’d ever wanted
so tantalizingly close. “Yes.”

“I’m going to let you go now. Don’t hit me, okay?”

I bit my lip as shame washed over me at my behavior.“Sorry about that.”

The pres
sure on my wrists eased and
I was fre
e. I shook out my arms
, releasing
the tension from being locked
in
one position for so long.

“Let’s start over, from the beginning.”
A
hand on each shoulder, he pulled me against him and kissed me. With gentle persistence he won his way into my mouth, tongue laving mine. A dizzy heat surged through me, rushi
ng with my pulse
until I ting
led all over. He grasped
the hem of my
shirt, lifting it up to expose
my stomach
and
grazing my rib cage
in the process
.

Unbidden, I raised my arms
overhead and he pulled
off my top
. Tossing it to the floor, he continued to ply me with kisses as he wo
rked to unhook my bra. S
hy about bei
ng the only one naked, I decided
to remove his
t-
shirt, forcing him to pause in his efforts to strip me bare.

Jackson’s
chest was broad and sleek with muscle. I ran my hands over his pecs, the nubs of his nipples brushing across my palms. His shoulders flexed at my touch and he sucked in his s
tomach with a hiss when I trailed my fingers over his abdomen
.

“There’s something you need to know,” I said, my voice hesitant.

He raised an eyebrow, his hands pausing in their efforts to remove my bra.

“I’m a virgin.” I breathed it more than said it. Closing my eyes, I retreated to my wolf who
paced anxiously against the screen of my eyelids
.

Jackson cupped my face in his hand, thumb caressing my cheek. “It’s okay
,
Chloe.”

I gave a shaky laugh, the sound making my wolf freeze. “At least you’ve had a lot of practice.”

“I’ve had a lot of practice in a lot of different things.” He captured my bottom lip in his mouth and sucked
for a long moment
.
Between kisses he said,
“I wasn’t an attractive kid, you know. Sure, I changed, but the girls wanted nothing to do with me.”

I opened my eyes and took in his dark good looks and rippling physique with a doubtful expression.
He was sexier
than calorie fr
ee ice cream.
I tried to picture girls turning their noses up at him and failed.

“It’s true. I was skinny with acne.
A weaklin
g alpha in a pack full of bigger, stronger
alphas just looking for an excuse to take me out.
”

“So what changed?” I asked.

“I worked out. I grew into my body
and I stayed out of the way
. The point being, you aren’t the only one who’s lived on the fringe of a pack. I did it for a long time.”
My bra finally
came free, going slack around my breasts and he smiled at the small victory. “You see me as I am today, but it didn’t come fast or easy for me.”

I clutched
my bra strap, resisting his efforts to pull it off my shoulders.
He paused, his thumbs circling the skin on each shoulder. “Nervous?”

Swallowing hard, I nodded.

“Don’t be, you’re in good hands.” He planted a kiss
at the nape of my neck and
gently bit me there, sucking the skin hard and fast into his mouth.
Coming up for air, he said,
“I’m going to enjoy making you howl, Chloe. I’ve wanted this for a long time.”
He inched the br
a straps over my shoulders, moving down toward my elbows
. “Just let go.”
