Following them, he knew he was taking a chance on getting himself hurt; he was nearly to the woman when the wolf showed himself. The low growl should have warned him he wasn’t anyone to mess with, but he had to know who she was. And why she was at the bar every night if she needed protection to get home.
“I’m Kenneth Smith, friend of Conri. I was wondering about the girl and if she’s safe.” The wolf went from wolf to man in seconds and was naked. He either didn’t have the gift to change into his clothing when he was shifting, or he didn’t care. Kenneth thought that he just didn’t care. “I’ve seen her at the bar twice now, and I’m concerned.”
“She’s of no concern of yours, Kenneth Smith. I watch over her.” He told him how he’d seen them twice now, and he was making it easy for her to get caught. “Yet you didn’t catch her. She’s mine to protect and to watch over. You need to move along and leave me to my business.”
“Kenneth Smith.” He looked at the young woman and decided that he’d been wrong about a lot of things about her. She wasn’t a human, and her hair was a dark, rusty red. Her skin paled in the moonlight, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her. “I’m fine. I’m hiding from my family, and Roger here is kind enough to make sure I get back and forth to work on my own.”
“What do you do at the bar?” She said that she washed dishes. “I have it in my head that you’re my mate. I was wondering if you could please allow me to see.”
“I’m not your mate.” He asked her how she knew. “I’m sure. You need to move along and leave me to my life. I have no quarrel with you, and I don’t want to have to get you hurt because you’ve been a pest. I’m not your mate. I would know if you were.”
He moved toward her and had her in his arms before she or Roger could move. Inhaling deeply of her throat, he knew that not only was she his mate but that she was faerie too. Before he could talk to her about it, she disappeared from his arms, and he was on his back on the ground. He was also alone in the woods with no way of finding the woman nor Roger.
Chapter 10
Rutger fed from his Katlynne. She was all he needed, and yet he wanted more of her. While her throat beckoned him, it was the rest of the body that he craved. While she was naked beneath him, he fucked her slowly until he was close to coming himself.
“I want to feed from you.” He nearly came when she said that to him. Everything in his body made him want what she wanted and more. She was everything to him, and there was just so much he could take. Slowly entering her and pulling out, it was all he could do to beg her to bite him. “Please let me feed from you, Rutger. I want to taste you like you taste me.”
“I’m going to come when you sink your teeth into me. Are you ready for that?” She moaned at him, and his entire body shuddered in delight. He wanted her to bite him, and he moved his throat to her mouth after sealing the wounds at her throat. “Lick me there. Taste my flesh so that you know what I taste like.”
She did as he begged, licking his throat where his pulse was pounding in his throat. He knew that his blood was going to be all that she needed, and when she bit down on him, he was going to come so hard that he might well pass out again. She licked him again and sank her fangs into his neck like she’d done it a million times before. Rutger felt his mind go blank and his body turn inside out. It was like he was on a ride that had no ending. Just as he was ready to come again, she licked the wounds closed and took his cock into her hand.
“Come on me.” He could barely breathe when she spoke. Her voice was husky and deep, her body hard as his was. “Come on me like I want you to come inside of me. Hard and hot. I need you.”
“Yes.” He hissed out his answer, and he wanted to take her then. But she wrapped her fingers around his cock and fisted his shaft. Even as she licked the dark purple of his crown, he knew that he was going to come all over her and she’d love it. Moving up and down his cock, she suckled at his nipples. When he said that he was ready, she backed away from him until they were far enough apart that she could be sprayed by his cum. Rubbing it into her flesh was more than he could have stood, and he flipped her over to her stomach and fucked her from behind.
Bringing her body up to his chest, he moved her hair and bit down on her throat. He’d been wanting to take her this way forever, and now that he had, he couldn’t stand to let her go. Fucking her, harder than he’d ever done before, he slid his hand down to her pussy and played with her clit until she started riding his hand. They were both going to come, and he couldn’t wait. Bending her over, just enough where he could touch all of her, he came with her when she screamed out his name. Rutger passed out twice, coming to quickly before she had a chance to come even once. It was more than he could have hoped for in a woman, and now that they were one as mates, he knew that it would be like this forever.
At some point, Katlynne passed out. He held her in his arms while she rested, and when she started to stir, he picked her up in his arms and sat on the desk with her in his arms. She was his everything, and he didn’t know what he’d do if something were to ever happen to her. Rutger was in love with his little mate, and he wanted to shout to the world so they’d know it as well. He was in love.
“I feel dizzy.” He told her it was the loss of blood. “I love feeding from you. You make me feel like I’m all there is in the world for you.”
“That’s what you feel like.” She snuggled up under his chin and closed her eyes. “I love you so much. You make me feel like a great man when you feed from me.”
She hummed, and he could feel it all the way to his toes. Adjusting her in his arms, he sat down on the couch in the room and decided to close his eyes. But only for a moment. He only needed to rest for a short while before he would be able to get up and get going. When Katlynne kissed him on his throat, he shivered. Christ, would there ever be a time when he’d had enough of her? He didn’t think so.
When he woke, he was alone on the couch. Again she’d recovered before him, and he thought it was simply because he was an old man. Laughing to himself, he got up and dressed. She’d come into the room naked for him, and that was when it started. All she had to do was touch him, and he’d be ready to go. They were making love about three times a day, and each time would make him less rested. He was going to have to sleep when she did in order to keep up with her. She was wearing him out.
Rutger had some things to finish up, and then he’d be free for the evening. The women were coming over for a dip in the pool, and the men were going to watch them. It had become a tradition on Friday nights to get together. Sometimes it was at a restaurant, but most of the time it was at their house, either in the pool or just inside. He loved that they all felt so at home in his house with Katlynne.
Finding Katlynne in the house proved to be difficult. She wasn’t in the kitchen nor the yard where she usually was, but he found her asleep in their bed. Not wanting to wake her, he made sure she was all right and lay down beside her. At her moan, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
“I needed a nap.” He said that he did as well. “Good. No one is coming over tonight. They said that they wanted to enjoy the weather at their homes. I was all right with that. I’m exhausted. Do you think it’s the baby doing that to me?”
“Could be. Or the amount of sex we’re having. I was just thinking that you’re wearing me out.” She giggled and rolled over so that she was facing him. “You’re beautiful when you’re sated. I love the glassy look in your eyes when you’ve had enough of me.”
“Never will I have enough of you.” She closed her eyes, and he thought she was asleep again when she spoke to him. “I guess we have the whole evening to ourselves. Why don’t we go out and see what kind of trouble we can get into while around town. I’ve heard that since the kids go back to school soon, most of the families are staying home. Do you think that’s about right?”
“They have to get used to getting to bed early, I guess. I know that when they’re in session, it’s easier to walk around town without them around. I don’t mind the kids that are here, but it’s also nice to have them in their homes early as well. The streets are quiet too.” She said that she noticed that the stores are less busy too. “Yes, the ice cream shop will be closing soon. I don’t understand why they close so early, but I guess they have their reasons. I would stay open until after football season is over. Do you like going to the games?”
“I’ve never been to one. I know that they’re a big deal to go to in the fall, but I’ve never been off where I could go to them. Friday nights on the job is something that we do to catch up on so that we can start fresh on Monday.” He said he understood that. “I’m really tired. How about we sleep for a while, then we can get up and talk to each other.”
“All right.” He really wasn’t sleepy, but he was tired. As soon as he knew she was sleeping, he got up and went to his office. There were always investments that he could catch up on, and then there were the little things around the house that needed looking after. He liked to stay busy, and his job helped that as well.
He only worked three days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Since it was Friday, he had a few days before he was to go back to work. And since he had a couple of books to read that he’d checked out on Wednesday, he decided to go to his living room and read a few chapters while Katlynne slept.
He was just getting into the book when Yosef contacted him. He wanted to know if there were any strange women around town. He told him that he’d not seen any, then asked him what he’d been asking for. He told him about Kenneth and the strange faerie.
