“Everett,” she breathed. “Oh, Everett. Please.”
“You taste so damn sweet, baby.”
He pressed his tongue against her again, as far as it would stretch, dipping a little into the slit. How could something feel so amazingly awesome? She wanted this feeling every day.
“I want you to come so I can lap up your cream,” he said. “Let yourself go. I’m here to catch you.”
As soon as his tongue rasped against her sensitive clit, her body arched like it had touched a live wire. Her hands buried in his hair, pulling it hard, since she tumbled headfirst into the pleasure electrifying her body. In response he gummed her clit and it gave everything an edge, lighting her on fire. He licked and sucked her in, sliding one finger into her heat, and she bucked against his hand.
“Everett!” she cried.
“Fuck, you taste like honey,” he moaned, blowing against her weeping core, and causing her to shiver. “So good.”
“Oh, please!” she begged. “I need…”
“Let go, Brinnah, and come for me.”
He began licking, up and down, driving his tongue in and over her nub. He worked her, until her cries echoed all around. When she finally fell over the edge, colors swirled behind her closed eyes. A kaleidoscope of dazzling brilliance that left her breathless, panting in the aftermath. Her limbs shaking. Everett gathered her against him, holding her as her body shook, satiated and boneless.
Long minutes later, he pulled back, but only long enough to press his forehead against hers.
“I want so badly to take you to my bedroom and show you how much I want you, but I suspect you’re not ready for that quite yet.” He sighed and pulled back. “All the more reason to find this enchantress quickly. In the meantime, would you like to go on a run?”
“Run? As in our wolf form?”
“Yeah. I kinda need to get the excess energy out of me.”
“And it’s okay for me to just … transform?”
“Yes, my love.”
She took a deep breath and nodded.
“All right,” he continued. “I’ll shuck my clothes first in the mudroom and meet you at the tree line. Okay?”
“Okay.”
She stayed in the kitchen, wondering if she had the courage to turn her back on everything that had been drilled into her head since birth. But if she didn’t, then leaving it all behind meant nothing. If she couldn’t go back, there was only one way to go.
Chapter Six
Once Everett left out the back door, silence descended. Brinnah hugged herself as she wrestled with the idea of joining him on a run. Her wolf whimpered, echoing through her mind. She wanted to go, wanted to shuck their skin and run free. Only the rules ingrained from birth made her hesitate. Women were subservient. Women were excluded from political, social, and economic positions within the pack. They had no voice. They were oppressed, to the point where only their male family members were allowed to speak for them. It’s what made females like her, Maggie, and Kadie pariahs. They had no males to protect them.
So, that’s why she stood there, fighting against what she’d been taught her whole life. Hands clenching and relaxing as she thought about how she’d be punished for going against an alpha command. Only to remind herself that she was no longer beholden to her old alpha. That life was gone. It was done, and she was here in Sheridan, Colorado, starting a new life.
Here, she had a voice. Here, she had choices. And she chose to run with Everett.
She peeled off her clothes, folding them neatly on a bench in the mudroom, next to Everett’s. Naked, she opened the door and stepped onto the deck. She saw Everett’s wolf at the tree line, staring at her with his head cocked. Taking a deep breath, she let her wolf take her skin, transforming into a petite rose-colored animal. Away from human constraints, she padded down the stairs to join Everett. His wolf was dark grey, with white interspersed through his face, chest, and paws. A wonderfully magnificent creature.
Everett’s wolf watched her as she joined him, and when she did, he leaned over and licked her muzzle. She whimpered, sitting back on her haunches. Everett yipped at her and trotted away. When she didn’t follow, he came back and nipped her hind quarters. That got her moving, and when he took off running, she followed. With each strike of her paws upon the earth, something loosened inside her. Her blood pumped and her heart raced with excitement. It had been so long since her wolf had been set free, that she was almost giddy with exhilaration. Everett raced around trees, down ravines, and up the other side. She followed, not as fast since she wasn’t used to running, but kept up as best she could. What she lacked in quickness, she made up for in enthusiasm.
Time had no meaning. It could’ve been minutes or hours. Stretching her legs, running full speed through the forest, this was heaven. The distinct resinous scent of pine lay crisp and refreshing in the air. Old trees, damp moss, and rich dirt created a slightly musty odor along the needle-covered floor. The sun played peek-a-boo through the branches, warming her coat, as she ran next to Everett. He had slowed his gait to match hers, as they chased and jumped on one another. He was particularly fond of frenetic zoomies, dashing away at a dizzying speed before circling back to headbutt her or play-bite her haunches.
They came to a pond, a beautiful respite deep in the woods, and slowed to a trot. She walked to the water’s edge to drink, and Everett flopped down in a patch of white clover. Bees buzzed around the small flowers. Dragonflies skimmed across the water. For a moment, they were the only two creatures in the world, and it was heavenly. How had she gone through her whole life not connecting to her wolf like this? How had she allowed herself to be a shadow? Always hanging around the peripheral of the pack, thinking she wasn’t good enough to be part of it. Brainwashed, not only by the alpha but by the entire social hierarchy of the Moondust wolves.
Brinnah trotted over and flopped down next to Everett. Her tongue hung out as she panted. What would make it truly a perfect moment was if her belly was being scratched. Then Everett shimmied and his wolf disappeared as his skin emerged. As if he’d read her mind, he trailed his fingers up and down her exposed stomach.
“Why don’t you shift back, baby?” he murmured.
