I tried to look up at him then, but it was so dark underneath the canopy of trees I could barely see my hand in front of me, let alone the expression on his face. I took a step around him, and he suddenly grabbed my arm.
“Shh…” he said, tilting his head as if he heard something nearby. “Do you hear that?”
“Hear what? No, what did you hear? Coyotes?” I stepped closer to him, right up against his side. If anything came out of those woods at us, especially coyotes, I wanted my big Alpha between me and whatever it was. Hopefully, it would get him first, giving me time to get away. It sounded mean, but I wasn’t worried about Wyatt getting hurt—I’d be more worried about whatever was foolish enough to tangle with him. I was confident that Wyatt could handle anything the world threw at him.
The Alpha shook his head. “It was probably nothing.”
“Probably?” I glanced around nervously, peering into the thick underbrush. Night was falling fast, and it was by now almost completely dark. I shuddered as a cool night breeze swept across my bare chest and legs. “What did you hear?”
“Nothing. More than likely. Are you sure you won’t stay and talk to me?”
I dropped my head. “Well, I-I really need to go and get some rest. I’m really tired. M-maybe you could walk back with me though? Just in case.”
“Why? Because you’re scared?”
“Well, I…” A coyote with apparently perfect timing suddenly gave a long, undulating howl from not too far away. I yelped and looked around frantically. I couldn’t see a thing, but I could hear the stream still gurgling and murmuring on the rocks.
We stood there quietly for the longest time—long enough for the fright I’d felt to fade away. I realized then that I was standing right up against the Alpha, with nothing but his clothing separating our chests, and his sweet, sugary scent surrounding me, had soothed and calmed me. I could still hear the stream chattering nervously against the rocks and could see how the water sparkled from the stars overhead.
With no towns or big cities anywhere close, and the moon hidden behind a cloud, the stars were putting on quite a show. I remember hearing once that ancient people used to think the starlight was actually the campfires of the gods. I glanced up and saw what my aunt had called the Milky Way,a hazy streak of distant stars in the night sky.It was so beautiful that I made a little sound of pleasure, as always slightly distracted and dazzled by sudden beauty when it happened right in front of me. I almost forgot our imminent danger from wild coyotes and poisonous reptiles for a moment—almost, but not quite. I leaned in closer to the Alpha, needing protection and seduced by the way he looked and smelled, as sweet as spun sugar. I raised my head to look and him, and he brushed his knuckles across my jaw. It made me shiver. Could touch be an emotion? Because I think I felt his touch in my soul.
“Watch out for that snake,” Wyatt said softly, pointing down at the ground, and I yelped and began climbing him like a tree.
“Snake?” I squealed—and it was impressive in a way, because I actually didn’t know my voice would go that high.
Alpha Wyatt, the ass, laughed and peeled me off him. “Calm down. I was only joking.”
I gave that betrayal the disbelieving look it truly deserved and reeled away from him. “How could you?”
“Calm down. I was only teasing. Why is it you can never take a joke?”
“I could, if I ever heard one. That wasn’t funny!”
“It was to me.”
“Ooh,” I cried out in frustration, glaring at him and stamping my foot. “Why are you always so mean?”
We were nose to nose by this time, or we would have been if Wyatt hadn’t been so much taller. He leaned down to get in my face and his breath was hot against my lips.
“I’m not mean.”
“Yes, you are,” I said, stamping my foot again. “You’re the meanest man I ever met.”
I think I must have been out of my mind, talking to him like that. I would never normally have had the nerve, but my pheromones were raging out of control suddenly, and I was filled with some kind of emotion I’d never felt before. All I could smell was the sugary sweetness that was Wyatt, and it made me aggressive. I bumped my chest against his as hard as I could, trying to provoke a response. Honestly, I was trying to arouse him, if I were being honest. I did it again—and then again.
“Go ahead. Fight me. I dare you,” I cried, totally out of my mind at that point, his pheromones making me crazy. “I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back. Go on. Hit me! Hit me!”
He didn’t respond to any of these ridiculous statements, thank the gods. He just stared down at me, his eyes flashing a warning. My tongue darted out to wet my lips, because they were tingling. I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, he grabbed me with a growl and bent me back over his arm to silence me by way of his tongue delving deep inside my mouth. A dizzying rush of pleasure shot through me. I clung to him, whimpering and moaning. I wanted him so badly, I could feel the excitement buzzing through my body, as I tried to get my leg up around his hips. I felt the lust haze settling over me like a veil—or like a shroud, because this would surely be the death of me.
Wyatt knocked the clothing I was holding out of my arms to the ground, took my ass in both of his hands and pulled my hips closer so I could cling to him and straddle his waist. It still wasn’t close enough. I wanted him so badly. Only his trousers and the thin strip of my underwear separated me from the prize I sought. After rendering me breathless and so weak I had to cling to him after he finally raised his head, he leaned back and stared down at me, breathing hard. I saw that his eyes had changed. He didn’t look like himself anymore. I realized with a jolt that I was practically naked from the waist down and pressed tightly up against his hard groin.
Oh yes, and I was humping him too and couldn’t seem to stop.
“Damn you,” he yelled down in my face. “I’m tired of this shit. I’m going to fuck you so hard and so slow right in this little ass that you’ll beg me for mercy. I’m going to fuck you half to death and fill you with my knot.”
“Go ahead and try! Do it! I dare you!” I shouted back at him, making no sense at all really, because of course he could do it if he wanted to. And I so wanted him to. I thrust my hips against him again and again and then once more for good measure. “Go ahead. I dare you! Do it!”
I was panting for breath and watching the big Alpha like the predator he was. His pheromones must have been firing off like crazy, because the air around us was full of his scent and his eyes were wild. I knew mine must be too.
