“It’s all I know.”
“I will spank your ass if you keep it up.”
She chuckled. “Most men would be happy to be a woman’s first time.”
“Oh, I’m happy, Holly. Believe me, knowing my dick is red with virgin blood, it makes me so fucking happy. But you do know what this means, don’t you?”
“It means nothing.”
“It means you’re mine. There was a use-by date on your ass but there isn’t anymore. You will belong to me completely.”
“How dare you. Nothing has changed.”
“Everything did the moment I popped that sweet cherry.”
“You don’t scare me, asshole. I will make your life a misery.”
“Go ahead. You have no idea the kind of life I’ve lived. Try to make me miserable.” He slammed his lips down on hers to stop her from talking any more.
She shoved at his shoulder, but he continued to kiss her. He smelled her virgin blood on his cock and the memory of her cry would stay with him forever. He wasn’t a monster. If he’d known she was a virgin, he wouldn’t have believed her, but he would’ve tried to go easy with her.
There had been so many opportunities to take her, but instead, he’d waited until the right moment hit.
Seeing her in the rain, the smile on her lips, it had struck him hard. His wolf had wanted her, but so had he. The moment had been then. Feeling her cherry give to him and hearing the scream, it had been equal parts joy and anger.
Holly was his in every single way that mattered.
He broke the kiss and climbed into the tub, lifting her and placing her between his spread legs. She collapsed against him, her hand going to his heart as she glared up at him. “You could have asked me to move.”
“Where’s the fun in that?” He ran his hands all over her body, loving the way she was flush against him. Sliding down to her ass, he gave the curve a squeeze and groaned. “You have such a fuckable body. I can’t get enough of it.” He kissed her neck and couldn’t get enough of the way she felt in his arms.
Silence fell between them as he allowed her to rest.
He still couldn’t believe she was a virgin. He’d never been with a virgin in all his forty years. The women he’d taken had all been as hungry and desperate for touch as he was.
Living on his own was easy, but he couldn’t deny there were times his wolf missed the presence of another wolf. Having Holly and all of her pack around would certainly make his life a lot easier to deal with.
“Why did you get kicked out of the pack?” she asked.
Her voice sounded so soft, almost sleepy. “I don’t give you any information without something in return.”
“So taking my virginity isn’t something you consider worthy?”
He growled. “Yes, I do.”
“Then by your rules, you’ve got to share.” She tucked some damp hair behind her ear, glancing up at him.
“I have no reason as to why I was removed. Not a definite reason. The alpha in charge, I believe he was threatened by me.”
“Because you’re a natural alpha?”
“Yes.”
“Can they do that? I thought you had to pose a threat or at the very least, challenge him. Did you challenge him?”
“No, I didn’t.” He sighed, rubbing at his temple.
“Didn’t he break some kind of rule?”
“No. I don’t think there is any kind of rule for an alpha doing what he thinks is the best for the pack.” He shrugged. “That’s all he did. He felt I would challenge him and weaken the pack. I was expelled before he allowed that to happen.” The memory, even now all these years later, was a cruel one.
“How old were you?” she asked.
“Just before my nineteenth birthday.”
“No!” Holly gasped. “What kind of monster does that? I know for a fact some wolves haven’t even grown accustomed to their wolf yet. My father wouldn’t dream of expelling anyone.”
“He hasn’t?”
“No. I don’t know if you realize it, but we’re kind of a peace-loving breed of pack. My father wouldn’t dream of hurting anyone.”
“Your father is not a good alpha.”
“Says the man who got removed from his pack for no good reason.”
“Has your father even encountered another alpha wolf?” he asked.
“Yes,” she said, surprising him.
“What?”
“My dad is not afraid of future alphas. He offers them guidance and will even consult with them on pack matters. He believes helping other alphas, even if they go away and form their own packs, is a great tool for peace and creating alliances. He’s not afraid of nurturing the next generation even if that means the risk of being challenged.”
“Your father is a fool.”
“My father is a great man.” She tried to get up, but with how he held her, there was no chance of escape. He liked her to fight though, which was why he kept his hold on her.
