Wolf's Promise (Caedmon Wolves) (17 page)

Nick dipped lower to take her nipples between his lips. He sucked gently and then firmly on the soft flesh, making the buds harden into perfect cylinders. Taking both breasts in his hands, he pressed them closely together, and then moved from one to the other
, teasing them,
until she cried out his name.

He belly shivered as he made a trail down the center of it to kiss her hot mound. She whimpered even more and arched off the bed.
He sliced a finger between her lips, stroking her from clit to anus until her legs quaked. Not able to resist her anymore, he buried his lips within her pussy enjoying her like a
savory
treat. Her moans encouraged him. Her orgasm was his priority. He made love to her with his lips and tongues, flicking her clit and tonguing her pussy and anus.

He felt her body tightened and she cried out pleasure.

When her orgasm faded, he pulled her ass to the very edge of the bed and she wrapped her legs around his back. He pushed into he
r with
one long stroke, watching as her eyes glazed over in desire.

He fucked her slowly at first, relishing in how she took him so expertly, milking him to ecstasy. When
he felt her tight pussy relax
, he pounded into her hard, positioning himself so that he struck her clit on the down stroke.

Soon another orgasm took her
. Her cries sounded like a melody. H
e bit into his lip, fighting to contain himself.

“Again, Nick,” she panted. “Fuck me harder and make me come again.”

His fangs dropped. He couldn’t help himself.

He pulled out of her and flipped her on her hands and knees. She raised her backside and pushed it
out
toward him. Her pussy lips glistened with their sex juices. Her ass looked like a plump cushion ready to
be pillaged
.
He grabbed her globes and kneaded them.
Fuck…he wanted to drive his cock deep within her ass.

Nick slammed into her
pussy
and his sac tightened against his dick. As he pumped into her with wild abandon, his testicles slapped against her pussy. She raised her face to the ceiling and cried out.
He grabbed a fistful of velvety black hair and fucked her intensely. The more she threw her ass back, the harder he pounded.

The power of the wolf spirit consumed him. And he knew in that instant that neither Selene, nor he, nor wolf would be satisfied until they were united by bond.

Selene lowered the top half of her body on the mattress and he almost came inside her. Did she know that this was the sign of submission? An offering of her body to do as he pleased. He pulled out of her pussy and placed his cock, still slick with her juices, against the opening of her anus.

His entire
body trembled as he grabbed the fleshy part of her ass and smooth
ed
it.

“Nick…” She moaned as he pushed into her, stopping only halfway.

Her canal was
tight and held his dick like a vice.

Once he was deep within her, he began pumping into her ass with care
ful concentration. Her strangled cries echoed against the walls each time
he buried himself to the hilt. He reached around and pleasured her clit.

When Selene’s
virgin passage
had
completely adjusted to his size, she lifted herself
up on her elbows. She ground her ass back against his pelvis, swallowing him even more, and then she moved
her hair from h
er shoulder and off to the side, offering her neck.

She was tempting his wolf. Was
it pure instinct or had she read t
o
o many Caedmon history book? It didn’
t matter
. He wanted her this way. Forever. Completely. Exclusively.

He gr
oaned and his mouth watered. He
bent
over her
to prepare her shoulder for his bite.
He
licked the area between her neck and shoulder. He tasted his own nectar as it released from the glands on hi
s tongue. It was the same serum
used to heal a wound while in wolf form. It would
prepare Selene
to take his mark.

“You’
re mine
.”

Nick struck, and his fangs held her
immobilized
at
the shoulder while he plundered
her. She convulsed in climax under him, screaming in gratification.
The moment he marked her, complete fulfillment washed over him.

He joined her, throwing his head back and groaning. His molten seed
blasted
into her
, sealing their bond.

When the explosive fireworks were over, they collapsed on the bed in each other’s arms. Neither of them said
a
word. They only gazed deeply at one another.

Selene was his mate. From this day
forward
, he would exist only for her.

“So, what are
your plans for this place, man?
” Jayson
Truman
asked as Devin slid the bowl of rolls across the table toward him.

Selene was eager to learn the answer too
. It was the classiest home
she’d ever set foot in to date. It had everything any family would need, and even came complete with servants.

“My cabin is being expanded into a home big enough for me, Tamara, and our family. It won’t be quite as big as this one, and
of course it’s not located in
the main village,” Devin replied.

“Well, you’ll certainly be the first
leader that won’t live in the Caedmon house,” Jayson remarked.

Of all the Council members, the raven-haired handsome
wolf had
to be one of the youngest. Selene had
seen his last name in several of the history books in the library.

“There’s a first time for everything, besides I’ve gifted the home to Dawson. Once he finishes up his studies, he’ll probably have more use for it than I will.”

Some of them were having mid-day lunch just
before the Council was set
to meet. Selene was scheduled to assist Tamara at the elementary school, but getting up at six in the morning after being mated to a wolf and a long night of continuous love making would have been injurious. Only after a hot bath could she bear to walk down the stairs by herself.

Even now, Nick was seated right beside her. His hand was laid out on her thigh, and the other held the fork as he gobbled his meal.
She valued his newfound protectiveness over her.

Everyone jerked in alarm when the double doors to the dinner hall slammed open. Nick dropped his fork. Devin jumped to his feet.

Tamara barged inside with a look
of bewilderment imprinted on her face. She doubled over and panted, a card crumpled between her fingers. Devin was next to her in seconds.

“What happened?” He scooped her up and sat her in a chair.

A closer inspection revealed that Tamara’s tights were soaked in blood. Was she hurt? It didn’t appear—

“Elisa!” she screamed.

“Where is she?”

“They took her!”

“What are you talking about?”

Tamara shoved the wrinkled card at him. “I went to go check on her in the science classroom. Ms. Price was dead on the floor. Her throat was...it was…” She sobbed in her hand, and her fingers shook. “Elisa is gone!”

Selene’s heart literally flipped, and she ran over to comfort the other women. Tamara’s whole body shook as she wrapped her arms around her.

“What does it say, Devin?”
Nick ask
ed
from behind her.

“
Darius has
replied.
He wants more than just land.”

A servant ran into the hall. “Sir!” He bowed his head after coming to st
and in front of Devin. “There was
trouble in the ma
rket. It seems another p
ack
breached our borders.”

Devin growled violently, and pounded a fist into a nearby wall. Pictures crashed to the floor an
d when he brought his hand away from the wall,
there was an indentation
on it
. “Put a call out for the other Council members. Now!”

“Yes, Alpha.” The servant nodded, and then backed away.

“What does he want?” Jayson asked, taking the card with the message.

“He wants to fight me.
Again
,
”
Devin said.

“Fuck a fight,” Nick growled. “I’m ready to battle.”

“We will.” Devin paced the floor like a wild animal. “I apologize in advance, Nick, but I will kill him.”

Tamara gasped and buried her head against Selene’s chest
.

“At this point, it is necessary,” Nick replied.
“That bastard has Elise. She’s only a child!”

“Your bond with Silvia…has it receded?” Devin asked him.

Selene did a double take, looking from Nick to Devin, and then back at Nick again. Had Devin said bond…bond with Silvia?

“There was never a bond,” Nick said between clenched teeth. “That witch betrayed me.”

“Even better. Prepare for battle.” Devin turned
to pick up Tamara,
scooping her away from Selene
with one arm. “I must tend to my mate. We head out at midnight.”

Everyone scurried from out of the room. Everyone except for
her
and Nick.

He held out his arms
. B
efore he could touch her
,
she jumped back.

“No!” she screamed. “I trusted you!”

“Selene?”

“How could you?” She felt so stupid. He’d been hiding it from her the whole time.

“What is it, Selene?”

“You’re bonded to another?
Is this what you wanted to protect me from?
”

This time he caught her off guard, captured her, and pulled her into his embrace. “
It’s not what you think. Everyone misunderstood what happened.”

She struck at his chest in an attempt to pull away from him, but he was stronger.  “Why would you do this to me?”

“I didn’t bond with her. Back then, I thought I did. I was young and stupid. Oblivious to what true love felt like. We were intimate and in a relationship over seven years ago.”

She jerked against him, and bile rose to her throat.

“Listen, please…” He pressed his forehead to hers. “Silvia is a witch. A real on
e. She was a member of another p
ack when I first met her.”

“What do you mean you thought you bonded with her?”

“She used her powers to trick me into thinking we shared a bond. She was the only one of her sisters left in her father’s home and not mated.
According to her, she was a disgrace to her father. I pitied her.
”

Selene swallowed, but the pain only resurfaced. “I asked you about this and you refused to tell me.”

Nick exhaled against her hair. “I was ashamed, Selene. I still am embarrassed about it all.”

“You loved her
?”

“At twenty seven, I didn’t know what love was.”

“She used you.”

He nodded.
“I’m not the complete victim. She was a woman. Willing and ready.”

“Why would she do something like that if she knew that you weren’t her mate?”

“Because she could
. She thrives off manipulating others. That is why she and Darius are good for each other.
”

“Then she’
s the one mated to Darius, that scar-faced bastard. She’s the one who can’t have children.
”

“Yes.
Darius, h
er true mate
,
came along and all the pieces fell together,” he said. “Darius knows what happened. He holds a grudge and still believes that I have some connection with Silvia.”

“Do you?”

“No. And if I did
before
, it’s now faded. The bond is only legit through intimacy, companionship, and a true mating…like ours.
”

Selene shook her head. “I didn’t want to find out like this.”

He pulled her closer. “Please forgive me.”

“I can forgive you, Nick, but how can I trust you?
We’re supposed to have this
special bond and now I feel worthless
.
”

“
You’re not worthless. You are everything to me. Our love is real.
I am so sorry
that I withheld this
.”
