Quirin
I need to be inside my mate. I know her family is here, I know that this might be a little more than she expects, but knowing that she had no idea how wealthy this pack is, hearing her say that she would have wanted me even if I was poor, the fear of losing her that I experienced yesterday, it’s all combining into an uncontrollable, desperate need for her.
I stand, setting her on her feet then I go to the door and lock it before turning around to look at her.
“Quirin?”
“I need you, Kennedy. I need you right now,” I say and even I can hear the desperation in my voice.
She looks around. “Where?”
growl, happiness bubbling up inside me. I can already feel the darkness inside me quivering in expectation of her light. She doesn’t care that I’m desperate for her, she’s just naïve as to where and how I’ll take her in my office.
I watch her grey–green eyes darken as I prowl toward her. Instead of telling her, I walk to her, turning her in front of me then pushing her forward.
“Hands on my desk,” I say softly. I can already smell the scent of her arousal. Thankfully when we hurriedly got dressed, she pulled a dress on. I can feel her nervousness as I take my hands and slide them up her thighs, pushing her dress up to her waist. I pull the panties down, helping her to step out of them and giving myself a perfect view of her glistening lips.
“Do you think you can be quiet, Kennedy,” I ask, my voice still soft.
She shakes her head. “No.”
I pull my shirt over my head and hand it to her. “Use this to muffle your
screams.”
She takes my shirt and presses it to her face.
“Arch your back. Give me the access I want,” I say.
She doesn’t hesitate. She arches and I moan at the sight of how wet she is, how good she smells and when I lick my tongue over her sweet pussy, I tug her hips back, desperate to taste more of her sweetness.
She yips in surprise, then presses my shirt against her mouth as I use my tongue to tease her. Fuck she tastes good. I growl against her clit, feeling a wave of possessiveness. I could have lost her yesterday. I could have lost this taste, this scent, this feeling of bliss that is already starting to fill me. There is only one person who has ever made me feel like this and I could have lost her.
in,” she whimpers against my shirt.
When her body explodes, I lap up her sweet arousal as it drips onto my tongue.
When I stand behind her, I quickly pull my pants down. “Don’t ever put yourself in danger again, Kennedy,” I growl, grabbing her hips and bottoming out inside her in one thrust.
“I need you in my life. Do you understand?” I continue growling as I begin thrusting at the hard, rough pace I always use when I’ve lost control.
“Yes. YES!” she pants.
I reach down and wrap my hand around her throat, pulling her up while holding her hip with my other hand as I continue my punishing pace.
“Do you understand how important you are to me, Kennedy? Do you understand that if anything ever happened to you, I would lose my mind. I would burn this world and everyone in it to the ground if I ever lost you. Do you understand?” I growl against her ear.
“Yes. Yes,” she whimpers, and I feel her inner walls fluttering around me.
I keep my hand around her throat, my thumb rubbing against her jaw and neck. Her head is back against my shoulder, lifting her throat and giving me her submission. I’m not sure if she knows that I need it, or if it’s because she’s perfect for me, but it’s exactly what I need.
“I love you so fucking much, Kennedy. So fucking much,” biting down on her throat.
She reaches out blindly, grabbing my shirt off the desk and pressing it against her mouth.
“You like it when I tell you I love you?” I ask, my voice deep and possessive.
“Yes.”
“Then you’d better come when I tell you that I fucking love you,” I say, her body clamping down on me as I continue thrusting into her. She presses the shirt tightly against her mouth as she screams.
“Every part of me loves every part of you, Kennedy,” I say, biting her earlobe as her body continues contracting around me.
“And I fucking love being inside you. You feel so fucking good,” I say as I feel the light spreading through me. “So fucking good,” I growl as my own orgasm rips through me.
I bite down on her neck, my own roar of pleasure muffled against her throat as our bodies jerk together, her sweet pussy drawing me deeper as her light explodes inside me, pushing away the darkness of yesterday’s battle.
When reality finally comes flooding back into me, I pull my teeth out of her neck.
“Did I hurt you?” I ask her. I’m always too rough with her. I try not to be, but I lose myself when I’m inside her.
“No,” she says as I lick the wounds of my bite mark closed. I rub my nose over her neck, wrapping the hand that was around her throat around her waist.
“I really do love, with everything in me,” I say to her.
“I love you too, Quirin,” she says, turning to smile at me.
When I pull out of her, I go to the bathroom and get a washcloth washing myself off, then rinsing it in warm water before going out to where she’s standing. I kneel down in front of her, putting her hand on my shoulder to help her steady herself as I lift her leg and clean between her thighs.
I look up at her and smile. “Do you want to hear something interesting?”
She raises her eyebrow at me, smiling. “You want to taste me again?”
“I definitely do, and if your family wasn’t here and probably looking for you, I would. But no, it’s not that.”
“What do you want to tell me?”
“If anything ever happens to me, all that money goes to you.”
I watch as the smile drops off her face and something close to fear replaces it.
“What? Why? Quirin, I wouldn’t begin to know what to do with all that money.”
“Kier would help you. So would your father and Connor, I’m sure. You’d be responsible for taking care of the pack, Kennedy,
so I made you the beneficiary of everything.”
“Quirin…”
“Kennedy,” I say, pulling her to me as I stay kneeling. I press my lips to her stomach, looking up at her. “Even if you weren’t my mate and Luna, you’d be the perfect person to leave that money to, BECAUSE you don’t want it. It means you won’t squander the money and leave the pack destitute.”
She slides her fingers into my hair, sending shivers through my body. “How about, nothing happens to you, and you keep doing whatever you do with that money. That way, I can stick to what I know, which is the hospital, and you can stick to what you know, which is managing this pack.”
“Deal,” I say. “Now, Kier’s been trying to get my attention, so I’m guessing someone in your family is looking for you. Let’s get dressed and go find them.”
I help her step into her panties, pulling them up as I stand, then I take another moment to kiss her.
“You’re going to order what we need for the hospital now?” I ask her.
She chuckles. “Yes,”
“Good,” I say, grabbing my shirt and pulling it over my head. It’s wrinkled and damp where Kennedy was screaming into it, but it smells like her and I love that.
When we step out of the office, we nearly run into Alpha Warren and Luna Yara.
“Oh, there you are,” Luna Yara says.
Alpha Warren just raises an eyebrow at his daughter before looking at me. While I can feel Kennedy’s embarrassment at her parents catching us just after having been together, I feel no such embarrassment. She’s my mate, I’m her lover, and they should both understand that.
“Did you need’something?” she squeaks.
“Wendy
Wants to speak with you. She’s doing very well and I’m sure you want to check in with her.”
“Yes. Yes, I do. I’ll see you later, Quirin,” she says, stepping away from me quickly. Her cheeks are a beautiful shade of pink.
“Count on it. And don’t forget what we talked about.”
She turns and looks at me over her shoulder and nods.
I look at Alpha Warren. “We’d like to stay another day and let Wendy heal a bit more, if that’s okay,” he says.
“I already told the pack members who went to stay at Henry’s not to return until I spoke to them. You can stay as long as Wendy needs to.”
“Thank you,” he says, turning to leave.
“Alpha Warren.” He stops and turns to look at me.
“I’ll speak with Alpha Connor, but I wanted to thank you personally for helping with the battle yesterday. Having so many Alphas on our side made things much easier and, well, I know it came at great personal expense to you and your family. I appreciate you helping to protect our pack, even if it was for Kennedy’s sake.”
He turns all the way around to face me. “You’re welcome and it wasn’t solely for Kennedy’s sake. You’ve never agreed to having an alliance, but I’ve never considered you my enemy either. If you ever need assistance, all you have to do is ask, Alpha.”
I nod and watch as he turns and walks away to catch up with his mate and daughter. I wonder if he knows that I’ve always considered him my enemy.
