Page 49 of Never His Mate


Font Size:  

Ryker races right behind me. When he pours on a burst of speed, overtaking me, I guess that his wolf has finally picked up on the same scents.

Forest.

Earth.

Trees.

It’s a wooded area, more densely packed than the park where Ryker spent his days, and on the outskirts of Muncie. If we hope for any type of privacy—and, with my wolf riding me to just do this already, getting some privacy isn’t really a dealbreaker for me right now—this is the best spot that we could’ve chosen.

I’m a shifter. Even before I knew that Ryker was mine, I always knew that I’d have a mate one day. Whether they were a supe or a human, I didn’t care, but if they wanted me, they had to tangle with an alpha female.

So renting a hotel and having some sweet guy deflower me in a soft queen bed? Yeah, right. Even a fumbling, grasping, underwhelming one night stand in my room at the apartment wasn’t right.

Wearing only the moonlight with the grass on my back and dirt in my claws?

Sign me up.

Once we cross into the woods, it becomes real. My heart is pounding almost as loudly as my pads hit the dirt between patches of wild grass, but I’m determined. It’s another alpha quirk, I guess. Once I make up my mind, nothing can change it.

Except, it seems, a stubborn alpha who swore he’d get me to say yes.

I try not to think about that as my wolf stops short. If she thinks this is the right place to entice her mate to fuck, I’m going go with her because hell if I know. She’s taken me this far, my wolf and my instincts, and if Ryker rejects me here and now after everything he’s said and done these last few days, I might just rips his heart out for real this time.

Ryker has continued to run, but his wolf throws on the brakes when he senses that I’m no longer behind him. By the time he wheels around and backtracks his way to me, I’ve already shifted, trading my fur for skin.

His wolf gets one look at my naked human body and lets out a howl.

Is that a good howl? I fucking hope so.

I’m shivering. My skin is so hot, it feels like I have a fever, so I know that the chill from the woods has nothing to do with the minute quakes. No, that has everything to do with how an apex predator is looking at me like I’m Sunday lunch.

Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe I’m being too forward. I’m an alpha, so naturally I would take the lead, but Ryker’s an alpha, too. Maybe that’s why he chose Trish. She wouldn’t just throw herself at him naked like this, would she?

Well, no. Knowing the rumors I’ve heard about Trish Danvers, she basically did, so maybe this is one way to seduce Ryker Wolfson.

Luna, help me—

Before I can shift back to my fur and run away like my tail’s on fire, Ryker shifts back.

For the first time, I get a good look at him in his skin. I’ve seen his chest and as mouth-watering as it is, it’s nothing compared to the rest of him. I always though he was big, but now that I see I was right. He’s built big everywhere.

And I mean everywhere.

I look at the club jutting out from between his legs and start to have second thoughts. That thing is supposed to fit inside of me? You’ve got to be fucking kidding. I’m not even so much worried about the length as I am about its girth.

It’s huge.

He’s already hard, so even if I can pretend like this wasn’t on both of our minds, that erases any doubt that he didn’t understand my wolf’s not-so-subtle signals. But he doesn’t reach for me. Instead, he stays back, his eyes locked on my face.

How nice. I stare at his dick, and he’s gracious enough to keep his eyes up here. The one time I want a packmate to see me naked and actually see and he couldn’t care less.

And then, as if he’s hit his limit of being a respectful kind of guy, he turns on his high-beams, eyes taking in every inch of my naked body. Like he’s memorizing it.

“Fucking gorgeous,” he whispers reverentially. “I knew it.”

That makes me feel a little bit better about myself. “You like it?”

“I love it.”
