The Alpha's Mate: Read online

  Under her constant ministrations his arousal began to grow again and she started to lap at him with more enthusiasm.

  With a groan he reached down and pulled her up the length of his body. His manhood came out of her mouth with a wet pop.

  He brought her into his arms and kissed her fiercely. Her arms and legs immediately locked round his body, her sex grinding over his. She moaned as his tongue danced with hers.

  Pushing her back against the tiled wall for support his hand sought her folds and he pushed a large finger inside her knuckle deep. She gasped against his lips as he twisted and twirled his finger before adding another and then another finger, stretching and exciting her.

  “Inside... now...” She breathed against him full of need and desire.

  Whatever his mate wants. He removed his fingers and moved his penis over her slit covering the tip in her juices. He pressed against her channel and pushed himself into her. She felt unbelievably tight around him.

  He pulled back and gave a hard thrust until he was seated to the hilt. She moaned pleasurably at the fullness she felt and tightened her grasp on his shoulders, her inner muscles squeezed him and he groaned at the glorious feeling.

  With his hands on her hips he began a strong steady rhythm, each thrust taking her from the tip to the hilt, she ground her hips down on him, matching his strokes. Their mouths never parting as the constant crashing of their bodies swept them both up towards release.

  Her whole body felt taut, every nerve ending begging to feel the pleasure that his touch promised. His massive girth dragged in and out of her. Her breathing hitched as he began moving faster against her, feeling his own release gaining on him.

  Suddenly she cried out as wave after wave of her orgasm hit her, her inner muscles clamping down on him. He couldn’t hold back. Thrusting deep inside her he grew even bigger and harder and then burst. He held still inside her loving the feeling of her pulsating channel sucking and milking the seed out of him, giving him an intense massage.

  Finally their mouths broke apart. “Mine.”

  29th September

  Rosalee watched Adam sleep. He lay next to her peacefully. His magnificent chest rising and falling rhythmically.

  It had been a long couple of days. On the plus side she had received a number marvellous orgasms from the world’s sexiest wolf currently resting next to her in all his naked glory. But on the downside all of her possessions had been mutilated beyond recognition and apparently she was the Alpha female of an entire wolf pack!

  After some prodding last night while he was trying to sleep Adam had given her a bit more information on what it meant to be the mate of an Alpha. It sounded hard.

  The thought of spending the rest of her days (not to mention nights) with the gorgeous Alpha was certainly appealing. But being with him meant she would have to stay here, in this quiet little town. There would be no more travelling, no more adventures. She wouldn’t be able to just pick up and take off somewhere new and different whenever she wanted. She’d have responsibility.

  She’d be expected to guide the other females and take care of them. Not to mention what Adam expected of her. The man was practically a Neanderthal. He’d want her to cook, clean and do his washing. Hah! She barely did those things for herself!

  It was just sex. Just mind-altering, toe-curling, wonderful, orgasmic sex. That was all. The two of them had nothing in common other than sex. She could spend a couple of months here sorting out her grandmother’s house whilst suffering through all the orgasms that Adam cared to give her and then she’d be on her way.

  They’d have some fun together and then part ways. Easy peasy. At least that was the plan. Every time she thought of leaving town, or rather leaving Adam, she felt queasy.

  Last night after he brought her to his home she assumed he would initiate sex, or at least part of her hoped he would. But he hadn’t, he had worried she was too upset and so had left her be, leaving it up to her to seduce him. The small romantic part of her had found that even more erotic than their other trysts, which was insane.

  After enduring numerous orgasms in the shower, he really had a divine shower, they had lay down on his bed and drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms. She’d felt his naked body pressed against her all night and now she was horny as hell.

  She slowly pushed the covers down their body and noticed his sex was already at half-mast. God it was impressive.

  She reached down slowly to touch him and quick as a flash one of his meaty paws came out nowhere and snagged her wrist.

  “Morning sweetheart. Sleep well?”

  He was looking at her through hooded eyes.

  “Very.” She slid out of his arms and climbed over him until she was straddling his waist. He placed both hand behind his head, very satisfied with the view of his naked mate on top of him. Blood was rushing to his manhood at an alarming rate.

  She leaned down and kissed his chest. “Do you have any whipped cream?” She asked naughtily.

  He leered at her, but before he could answer his phone buzzed. Thoroughly annoyed at the interruption he reached to answer it and barked “what?!”

  He grunted a few times and then hung up.

  He rubbed his hands on her thighs scowling. “Alec hired some cleaners to sort out your house, you need to be there when they arrive to let them know what you do and don’t want to keep.”

  “What time do they need me?” She kissed his chest again and licked one of his nipples. His arousal grew to uncomfortable proportions.

  “Half an hour.”

  She pulled up abruptly and clambered off him moving toward the bathroom.

  “Where are you going?”

  “For a shower, hurry up! We’ve got just enough time for a quickie.”

  He didn’t have to be told twice.

  Chapter Ten

  Rosalee was thankful that she could borrow some of Mac’s clothes instead of having to raid Adam’s wardrobe. Mac was a couple of inches taller but otherwise they were the same size.

  Truth be told Rosalee was a little nervous about going back in the house. She’s been thankful that up until that point in her life she’d never been burgled, the idea of a stranger being in her house, touching her belongings was so creepy.

  When Adam pulled up to her house it was to find Alec and his mate Liv on the porch waiting. Alec had his arms round his mate, his chin resting on her head.

  Rosalee chuckled. “Ugh, they’re sickeningly sweet aren’t they?”

  Adam gave her a lopsided smile. “You don’t think we make a sweet couple sweetheart?”

  “Nope, we make a hot couple!”

  “No arguments here.” He winked at her and waggled his eyebrows, before getting out and striding round to open her door.

  Liv disentangled herself from her mate and headed toward Rosalee, admittedly with a little difficulty as Alec was reluctant to let her go. The two women hugged and Liv smiled sadly at her Alpha. “Oh Rosalee, I’m so sorry, god this is just horrible.”

  The Beta’s deep voice rumbled towards them. He nodded at Adam. “The blood can be cleaned but all of Rosalee’s clothes and belongings have been shredded... they can’t be salvaged.”

  Rosalee gave them a watery smile. “It’s just stuff, things can be replaced... I can get new clothes and shoes... I just wish they hadn’t destroyed the paintings. Still up until a few days ago they weren’t mine anyway, so it’s not like I’ve lost much.”

  Liv rubbed Rosalee’s arm soothingly. “Alec asked Susie to send over a few people to start cleaning, Susie’s a bobcat who owns a cleaning agency. And I got a couple of volunteers to come over to help move furniture, we figure anything you definitely don’t want to keep we’ll just burn. I reckon all the walls will need to be repainted, and any furniture you do want to keep will need reupholstering.”

  Adam raised an eyebrow. “Who volunteered?”

  Liv beamed. “Mal Tanner and Hunter Donaldson. Apparently they’re trying to get on your goo
d side.”

  Adam grunted.

  Liv took Rosalee’s hand and started leading her into the house. “They’re inside, so we better give them an idea of what you want done.”

  Liv squeezed her mate’s hand as she passed him. “Thanks angel.”

  Adam let out a long breath. “Jesus! Any ideas on who did this?”

  Alec blew out a breath and stared in the direction Rosalee and Liv had disappeared. “None. Must be the same person. No scent, no fingerprints... nothing. Rosalee...”

  “She’s staying with me, I’m not leaving her side until this is over.” And not even then. “Maybe it was someone who had a grudge against Iris Bennett, and they just did this to kind of dance on her grave.”

  Alec ground his jaw. “I’ll bet there’s a long list of people who had grudges against that fucking woman.” Iris Bennett had wanted to kill Alec’s mate, not something he could ever forget. “Hopefully you’re right though, and now that they’ve desecrated her house they should be satisfied and leave things alone.”

  Alec softened slightly. “I am pleased to see that things are working out with Rosalee.”

  Adam sighed. “We still haven’t bonded, my wolf’s pushing me to do it but I don’t want to rush and make her feel like I’m forcing her. I’m asking a lot for her to uproot her life and move here.”

  “I agree it shouldn’t be forced, but if she’s already accepted you as her mate then that’s half the battle. The mating pull won’t let her leave now.”

  “I hope so... I have a bad feeling she’s really stubborn.” His wolf whined at his less than confident approach to his mate.

  Alec looked around thoughtfully. “Is there any movement about what’s happening with the land sale of this place?”

  Adam growled. “We talked about it... it kind of pissed her off.”

  “Well when you bond it will be a moot point. Any thoughts on what you want to do with this house?”

  Burn it down thought Adam maliciously. “No, but considering it seems to bring nothing but bad luck I’d rather get rid of it and start over.”

  Alec nodded shortly. “We had Don out here, and a few of the Enforcers but no scents, not surprising considering how much cows blood was smeared all over the walls.”

  “Hmmm, until we’re sure the threat is dealt with I want a wolf watching the house all the time. With any luck the idiot will come back and we can catch them at it.”

  And rip their throat out for terrifying his mate. The wolf whole heartedly agreed with that sentiment.

  Liv after setting everyone to work in the house bustled Rosalee out back to the porch swing. She wanted to make sure that Rosalee was really okay, and get the low down on what was happening between her and the Alpha.

  “How are things going between you and Adam?” Asked Liv coyly.

  The sex is unbelievably amazing, he’s the hottest man on earth, I practically orgasm at touch of his skin... “Fine, fine. I’m guessing from the look on your face that he’s already told you that he thinks I’m his mate?”

  “Yes, he’s already told me that he knows you’re his mate.” Liv corrected her with a strong sense of self satisfaction. “Are you planning on still staying here after the house is cleaned?”

  Rosalee wavered. She knew that really she should stay at her own house, the longer she stayed with the Alpha the harder it would be to leave... if she decided she did want to leave.

  The idea of pulling away from him was hard. The idea that he’d never touch her skin, caress her breasts, take her to heaven... She heated remembering the steamy encounters. At the moment sex was never far from her mind. Must be this damn mating call.

  “If the Alpha’s okay with it I may stay with him for a couple more days.”

  Liv tutted. “The way he looks at you I can’t imagine he wouldn’t be. He looks at you the same way I look at Alec.”

  Rosalee snickered. “What? Llike he has a school girl crush?”

  Liv stuck out her tongue. “No, like he loves you, like he adores you, like he can’t live without you.”

  Rosalee wavered. “I’m just not sure that I’d be a very good mate for him. Everything he does and says, I want to argue with him and say the opposite. Last night after that wolf Hans freaked out again,” Liv rolled her eyes, “Adam took charge, telling people what to do, and they immediately just did it. He’s an Alpha wolf, he expects everyone to obey him... I don’t know if I can live like that.”

  Liv sighed. “Probably because you’re both Alphas. You’re the Alpha female to his Alpha male. It’s kind of how it works in shifter packs. You’re more of an equal to him than anyone else in the pack.”

  Rosalee bit her lip thoughtfully. Liv squeezed her hand. “Please talk to Adam about this, ask him what he expects of you as Alpha female. Promise me you won’t make any decision without talking to him. I’d hate for you to leave because of a misunderstanding between the two of you. On a selfish note I want you to stick around.”

  Rosalee frowned. “It’s not just that... I can’t imagine living here forever, I’ve always moved around. I’m a painter, I like finding new subjects. You don’t have a problem with staying in one place?”

  Liv shook her head. “I’m not adventurous or talented, I like being here with my mate and my friends. I love this place, it’s beautiful.”

  Rosalee sighed. “You’re right it is.”

  Rosalee thankfully remembered that she had laundry in the washing machine. She had set it going before they went to the bar the previous night.

  On checking she found that all the washing was intact, just wet and waiting to be dried. She almost cried with relief at finding untainted underwear, socks, bras, vests and a pair of shorts waiting for her.

  Oddly enough the laundry room seemed to be the one place that escaped the nutjob’s notice. She never thought she’d be so happy to be able to do laundry. She double checked everything and then leaned down to carefully place it back in so she could set the dryer going.

  She had insisted that the cleaners and her helpful wolf movers take a couple of hours lunch break, they had been working hard all morning and needed a break. Which just left her alone in the house with a certain sexy Alpha male...

  “Hey” said a husky voice behind her.

  She turned partially round to find Adam leaning against the door jamb and leering at her ass.

  She pouted prettily. “Hey, don’t you have somewhere else to be?”

  He folded his massive arms over his chest. “Nope, the view here is amazing.”

  Her eyes were immediately drawn to the bulge in his pants. She continued sorting her washing but gave her ass a couple of extra wiggles for effect. He groaned.

  She finally finished and turned the machine on, it creaked and juddered to life.

  He came up behind her trapping her between his hard body and the washer dryer. He stooped slightly so that he could grind his cock against her buttocks. She quivered at the hard length and her panties moistened.

  He put his arms on either side of her leaning on the machine. His breath caressed her ear. “You know I still haven’t taken you up on that challenge you issued.”

  Oh right, the one where he was going to fuck her over and over until she begged him to stop. “Yeah, what’s with that? Chicken?” She taunted.

  He growled and buried his head in her neck inhaling her cinnamon scent. “Do you want me?”

  She hesitated. He pulled away from her slightly and she immediately felt a twinge of sadness. “I do want you. I just don’t know about bonding...”

  He twisted her round so she was facing him, wrapping his arms around her. His eyes were dark with desire. “One step at a time sweetheart, will you let me mark you? Just a little bite on your shoulder to show everyone that you’re mine.”

  He kissed her deeply, his tongue demanding entrance. She relaxed and allowed him to plunge inside her mouth. Her body flushed with heat, trembling in the knowledge of what was about to happen.

&n
bsp; She broke away from him. “Yes, yes I need you, mark me and make love to me.”

  Adam could have cried with happiness. He pulled off her t-shirt and then her bra. He cupped her breasts and kneaded them gently, pinching her nipples lightly and he lavished kisses on her neck. He moved down her body, kissing, licking until he was kneeling before her.

  For a moment she thought he was going to repeat the actions of last night in the bar and she wanted to protest. She needed to feel the warmth and comfort that only having him buried inside her could provide.

  He unzipped her jeans and pulled both them and her panties down her legs, untangling them from her feet. He looked up at her standing over him. She suddenly felt shy of standing naked in a laundry room. He grasped her wrists gently but firmly.

  “No, I want to see you.”

  He lifted her so that her ass was resting on the edge of the washer. He pulled her legs apart and looked at her sex in wonder. “Fucking beautiful” he muttered.

  He bent forward and swiped his tongue from her ass to her nub, sucking her nub into his mouth teasing it with his tongue.

  She grasped his hair and tried to pull him up but he wouldn’t move. “Please, I want you inside me.”

  He released her nub and pushed two fingers into her canal. She writhed against them. He slowly stood up whilst continuing to push his fingers in and out of her, stretching her. He added another finger and she grabbed his shoulders sinking her nails into him.

  He hissed at the pain but continued to stroke her with his fingers, hitting her sweet spot over and over. Rosalee could feel the orgasm stealing closer and closer with each move.

  She began fumbling with his belt and pants. Her hands shook with need.

  He fisted her hair dragging her head to one side, smoothing his tongue over her neck.

  Finally his manhood sprang free. She seized it and began caressing him. He groaned and increased the strokes of his fingers. He continued to lavish her neck, preparing her, his elongated fangs scraping her skin sending shivers through her.

  He pushed his thumb against her clit and the orgasm crashed through her body. She howled his name as he pushed his fangs into her shoulder. His fingers didn’t falter, continuing to pound into her while she bucked beneath him.
