When I give Maya a cheeky wink, she giggles and snuggles up tight against me. I duck my head down for another kiss, this time more passionately, sweeping my tongue gently inside her mouth and brushing against hers. Hinting at what’s coming when we get away from prying eyes.
“Is that a promise?”
Her pretty eyes are round, and she looks the picture of innocence, but I have a feeling there’s an edge to my little mate. Something mischievous lurks behind that sweet smile, and I cannot wait to find out what.
We walk back into the party, hand in hand, getting a few curious glances from the rest of the pack as we stick to each other like glue. Moving around and making introductions feels strange because it feels so normal. It's like we’ve already been together forever, and it’s completely natural to be showing her off to my friends and family. I don’t want to overstep by introducing her as my mate, so I stay professional: this is Maya Reynolds. She’s on an exchange programme from her pack for two months.
That’s the story I tell, even though I want to shout that she’s mine and will stay forever. I hold my tongue, though. She might not appreciate me telling everyone we’re mates until she’s marked.
I’m proud as punch when she remembers every name and tries to speak to as many people as possible. She’s not faking interest. She really wants to get to know the people in my pack. Her pack now, I suppose, if she wants to stay here.
I’m pulled away for a moment, much to my annoyance, but at the earliest opportunity, I hurry back by her side.
“Time’s up, Maya,” I whisper against her ear, stalking up behind her at the bar where she stands talking to Danny and John. She nods subtly as she trembles against me. I can feel her excitement as I reach over and take her drink, setting it down on the table. Danny and John watch, slack-jawed, as I take her hand, nodding farewell, and lead her toward the packhouse. They probably think I’m making a move and it grates on me. They don’t recognise this for what it is. This is no casual hook-up. This is for life.
There are plenty of wolves still milling around inside the shared living spaces and I curse every single one of them who stands between me and getting my mate upstairs. Maya pauses and speaks politely to everyone who stops her, but my hand on her hip and presence at her back are affecting her the longer it goes on. The scent of her arousal reaches me as I slowly slide my hand up her side and grip her waist firmly. She’s feeling the anticipation as much as I am. We might not be together tonight, but I just want to be alone with her. I’ll take whatever she’s willing to give me.
“Excuse us,” I say, mustering all my willpower and good manners to interrupt politely, before stepping forward and trying to urge Maya to move along with me. Goosebumps rise on Maya’s smooth skin as I speak against her ear. I imagine her nipples hardening as my breath fans across her neck and the bulge in my trousers presses into her ass.
“No more small talk unless you want me to kill someone. If I can smell your arousal, so can they. And that is mine alone to taste, and mine to breathe. Not theirs.”
“Nathan,” Maya groans, letting her head tip back against my shoulder for a second before gathering herself. She straightens and leads the way, picking up her pace this time, and avoiding anyone who looks like they might want to introduce themselves. She’s already a pro.
I bite my lip hard, watching her firm ass climb the stairs in front of me. Once we get to the top floor, where the alpha suite and apartments for Rex, Leila, or Maya now, and me, are located, my ability to keep my hands to myself is gone. Rex is stuck downstairs, and Hayley and Cooper are still at the hospital. We have the entire floor to ourselves.
Grabbing her by the waist, I pick her up and spin her to face me before crossing the landing at lightning speed and pressing her against the nearest wall. Her legs instantly wrap around me, and she tips her head back, granting me access as I kiss and nip and lick my way along her collarbone and up her neck.
“Any longer and I’d have dragged you into the woods and kissed you there. You’re so fucking sexy, and you taste so good.”
My erection lines up against her dripping wet pussy, and I tilt my hips, rubbing against her and giving her some of the pressure she needs. Her whimper tells me she wants this badly. Is this all happening too fast? I don’t know, but any notions I had of taking things slowly fly out the window when she moans and nips my ear. My wolf is driving me on. I need to have her now, to taste her.
I shove my hands up under her top, squeezing and massaging my way across her hot, toned skin. Her belly and firm, perky breasts are exquisite, but I can’t see them properly. Desperate to look at what the goddess has been kind enough to gift to me, to see her in all her glory, I rip her top over her head and lean back.
“Fuck, you’re incredible,” I pant, before diving in to take a dark nipple in my mouth and sucking, biting, and licking as I roll my hips, before crashing my lips back onto hers. Her nails dig into my back, hard, and I grunt in approval at the sting of pain.
“Nathan, anyone could come along.”
She’s not wrong, but that’s the last thing on my mind.
“Nobody will. Fuck them anyway.”
All coherent thought is gone from my mind, and I’m in a frenzy of need. My parents could stand here watching and I don’t think I’d care. My wolf, however, is not a fan of anyone getting to see my mate semi-naked, so I pause my ravishing of her body long enough to kick my door open and, somehow, spin us through. We’re stumbling and laughing as we make our way to my bedroom.
Tossing Maya into the middle of the enormous bed, I pull my t-shirt off over my head before she finishes bouncing. I kneel on the mattress at her feet in just my jeans. Flicking open the top button, I delight in how Maya’s eyes trail over my body and her pupils dilate. Her tongue darts out to wet her lips and my already aching cock throbs with the need for her. I can’t wait to feel that mouth and those lips on me.
“Nathan, I don’t normally do this.”
A flash of hesitancy crosses her face as her gaze travels over the room we find ourselves in. Things have escalated quickly, and as you’d expect when fated mates find each other, we’re scantily clad and panting. I’m quick to reassure her, hating to see any doubt on her pretty face.
“I know that.” My tone is soft as I trail my fingertips up along her ankle. I nod at her, emphasising that I understand what she’s trying to tell me. “This? This is different, Maya.”
Gesturing back and forth between us with one hand, I grip her behind the knee firmly with the other. She nods, but her fingers are still holding the blanket, wrapped tightly in the thin white material.
“Are you okay?” I ask, forcing myself to pull back from the desperate, all-consuming need to claim her and take a second to check in. I need to make sure she’s certain. Her soft smile and subtle nod send my heart soaring. All bets are off. Grabbing her leg and tugging, she squeals in shock, giggling as I drag her closer to me.
“Thank goddess, because I think I’d fucking die if I had to wait another minute to do this.”
I smooth my hands up her legs and push her skirt up to her waist. Growling the second her white lace underwear comes into view; I rip the offending garment at the sides like a man possessed and toss the scattered pieces onto the floor.
